Illinois woman with flying saucer tattooed on her forehead commits unhinged crime
Alexia Telles, 28, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder last week in connection to the tragic death of Annissa Ellen-Williams, 25, the Kendall County State's Attorney's Office announced Monday.
Telles, who has several other face tattoos, was charged in connection with the February 2023 slaying after Ellen-Williams died of a traumatic head injury at a home in Oswego - about an hour outside of Chicago.
Life-saving attempts were made on Ellen-Williams, but she died at the scene, according to prosecutors.
After her death, authorities discovered the couple, who appeared to be in a long-term relationship, had gotten into some sort of disagreement while Ellen-Williams was driving just before they arrived at the home.
Forensic and digital evidence, along with statements made to police, soon revealed Telles 'intentionally killed' her partner and made it look like Ellen-Williams had committed suicide, investigators concluded.
Investigators did not specify what sparked the argument and how the killing was carried out.
'These cases can be difficult to prosecute because only two people know exactly what occurred that fateful night,' Kendall County State's Attorney Eric Weis said.
'However, the investigative work done by law enforcement and the Coroner's Office led to the successful prosecution of Telles for the murder of Ms. Ellen-Williams.'
Telles, who has remained in custody since her arrest, was ordered to serve her entire 30-year prison sentence, followed by three years of supervised release, prosecutors said.
'This sentence ensures that justice is served, and the victim's family does not have to endure the pain of a trial,' Weis stated.
'Telles has accepted responsibility for the heartless act she committed against someone she professed to care so much for.'
Daily Mail contacted Weis and Telles' attorneys, Josh Adams and Alana De Leon, for comment.
The couple appeared to be in a relationship for years, as their first ever post on Telles' Facebook was from 2016.
In a post from 2019, Telles wrote: 'Love you fo [sic] ever,' alongside an image of her and Ellen-Williams.
This story comes months after a 22-year-old woman was found naked and discarded in the grass after getting into a domestic dispute with her abusive boyfriend.
Nahomi Citttadini, of Miami Beach, Florida was found abandoned on the side of the highway in early December.
Lorent Pion, a 29-year-old convicted felon, was charged with his girlfriend's murder murder, despite initially telling officers that she had been struck by another car during an argument, CBS News reported.
Disturbing video footage from August captured Pion violently beating Cittadini along a street in Miami Beach, relentlessly chasing after her before grabbing her hair and aggressively throwing her to the ground.

Top detective Colin Sutton who caught serial killer Levi Bellfield and Night Stalker rapist becomes police and crime adviser to Reform UK
A detective who caught some of Britain's worst rapists and murderers has joined Nigel Farage 's mission to clean up 'lawless Britain', the Mail can reveal. Colin Sutton, who led the hunt for serial killer Levi Bellfield and 'Night Stalker' rapist Delroy Grant, has been appointed Reform UK's first police and crime adviser. The former detective chief inspector will develop the party's pledge to halve crime in five years by hiring 30,000 extra police and investigating every reported offence. Leader Mr Farage said: 'Colin Sutton will be a huge asset to Reform UK.' In an interview with the Mail, Mr Sutton - who was played by Martin Clunes in the TV drama Manhunt, about the investigations into Bellfield and Grant - set out more of the measures he believes will clean up Britain's streets, restore public trust in police and make joining the force a more attractive career. He would give all frontline officers Tasers, reopen 300 mothballed police stations, and stop police investigating online spats. Mr Sutton, 64, said: 'Absolute respect to the young men and women who serve their communities and do the job, but do they actually do it because they want to be policing Twitter, or because they want to catch burglars and rapists and robbers?' He said 'a police station with a blue lamp' would be a reassuring sight for people walking in boarded-up town centres at night. He said he would even consider scrapping some of the laws against online abuse, adding: 'I don't mean hate or incitement, but people who are abused, let's make it like a watered-down version of defamation, then you can sue in the civil court. 'Don't give them legal aid and see how many feelings are hurt then. 'I accept that persistent and horrible abuse on social media can be very distressing and cause real problems psychologically. 'There's got to be better ways of dealing with it than sending half a dozen officers round.' Mr Farage said he wanted 'big, strapping' officers, but Mr Sutton said the best two police officers he ever worked with were women, and that at one stage 14 out of the 30 detectives in his murder squad were female. Mr Sutton joined the Tory Party as a teenager in Enfield, north London, but like all new recruits he was required to cease political activism when he joined the Met. He said he and many fellow officers would never forgive the Tories for the cuts imposed by Theresa May when she was home secretary, saying she and former prime minister David Cameron's government did 'more harm to policing than anybody ever'. He claims some chief constables would 'breathe a sigh of relief' under a Reform government. Mr Sutton joined Reform when Mr Farage returned to lead the party at last year's general election. He said: 'It's not about power, it's not about status or anything like that - it's about actually making a difference.'

The writing's on the billboard, PM — nothing works and Labour isn't listening
IT is one of the most iconic images in modern political campaigning — and it could soon be back to haunt Sir Keir Starmer. Giant billboards showing a long dole queue snaking out of a Job Centre with the slogan 'Labour isn't working' captured the nation's attention nearly half a century ago. 3 3 Back before Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister, it was used to depict rising unemployment. But today the line could illustrate a myriad of problems engulfing the government. The endless stream of illegal migrants arriving on small boats, for instance. 'Petty' criminals waiting outside stores to begin organised shoplifting sprees. The 6.2million patients on NHS waiting lists or the 1.3million families in England in the queue for social housing. Mass migration's strain on public services is clear for all to see. But in the past few days, people have drawn a more alarming conclusion — that illegal migration and rising crime are linked. This has created a toxic mix of anger, frustration and fear which triggered a series of demos. Women say they no longer feel safe and there is a deepening sense of unease about the large numbers of undocumented young men being moved into local hotels. France claims migrants crossing the Channel on small boats see Britain as an 'El Dorado' — but it's become Hell Dorado for many living here. Growing suspicion Convicts are freed early from overcrowded jails, 90 per cent of bike thefts go unsolved, and shoplifting is up 20 per cent in a year to a 20-year high. Retailers say this is because police refuse to investigate theft of items worth less than £200. That's probably because they are too busy combing through our social media accounts looking for 'hate crimes'. All this, along with the whiff of cannabis on almost every street corner, has led many people to conclude that Britain has become lawless. It is truly staggering that our Prime Minister — a former public prosecutor who prides himself on the rule of law — is presiding over this. Discontent is being fuelled by the growing suspicion that we are importing crime. Migrants staying in taxpayer-funded hotels have joined organised shoplifting gangs which have stolen thousands of pounds worth of designer clothes from top stores. Fury came to a head after an Ethiopian asylum seeker staying at the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. He has denied the offence. Today, The Sun reveals that four in ten people charged over sex attacks in London in the past seven years are foreign nationals. Ministry of Justice figures show Afghans and Eritreans — among the top nationalities arriving by boat — were at least 20 times more likely to account for sexual offence convictions than Brits. Taxpayers footing the £5.7million-a-day bill for migrant hotels face a double whammy when lawyers use legal aid to block the deportation of foreign offenders. It's not just that Labour isn't working. Nothing works and Labour isn't listening A Lebanese man accused of murdering his beauty queen wife, who entered Britain on a small boat, was jailed for nine months for attempting to arrive without valid documents last week. But when he completes his sentence, he is unlikely to be deported as human rights laws will forbid his return home where he could face execution. The public's sense of injustice is magnified when they stage a peaceful protest and hear MPs branding them hard-right agitators. Or when they see cops escorting far-left counter demonstrators to the same migrant hotel. Yet the Government's response to the protests is to set up a police team to monitor social media for anti-migrant comments. People are beginning to make a link between the undesirables coming into Britain unchecked and rising crime Nigel Farage What is different about these demos — and should be ringing alarm bells in Downing Street — is that they are being attended mostly by mums, who are genuinely worried about their own and their children's safety. This is the silent majority who have had enough and think it is time to speak out. Nigel Farage has been quick to spot this simmering resentment and has launched a six-week campaign to highlight rising crime. The Reform UK leader declared: 'People are beginning to make a link between the undesirables coming into Britain unchecked and rising crime. There is also a mounting sense of anger that the establishment is always trying to stop us from having a reasonable debate.' Politics is broken He has promised to spend £17billion on new prisons built on military bases, hire 30,000 extra police and send murderers and paedophiles to serve their sentences in El Salvador. Labour scoffs it is an uncosted plan drawn up on the back of one of Farage's fag packets — but their hoots of derision won't convince those mums protesting outside migrant hotels. They've endured 14 years of Tory rule, and after less than 14 months of Labour have concluded that politics is broken. It's not just that Labour isn't working. Nothing works and Labour isn't listening. Farage now thinks women could win him the next election. Most people joining his bandwagon in the past few days have been female. It was 58 per cent men and 42 per cent women at the general election but now it's a 50-50 split, he says. This is one reason why his party has topped the last 65 opinion polls. The other is a breakdown in trust among voters. They have lost faith in the police. And they feel betrayed by politicians who they perceive as closing down any debate on their concerns and putting the rights of illegal migrants ahead of hard-working Brits. The social contract is in danger of breaking down as all they get in return for paying record taxes is platitudes and promises. Successive governments vowed to 'take back control', 'stop the boats' and 'smash the gangs'. The former human rights lawyer in No10 may not have his heart in tackling the migrant crisis. But he knows if he doesn't, the next line of people he sees will be those queuing up to vote him out of office. THE nanny state is throwing its protective arm around even more aspects of our daily lives. It now offers advice that goes far beyond the familiar 'mind the gap'. Walking through a London rail terminal the other day, I was dazzled by three video screens urging me and my fellow travellers to 'remember to keep drinking water in the hot weather'. A few steps further on another message cautioned: 'Please watch your step. The floor may be wet'. It was probably caused by panicking passengers rushing to rehydrate. While another flashing sign advised those with heavy luggage to use the lifts instead of struggling up and down stairs. Who'd have thought of that? Well, I've got some advice for Network Rail. See it. Say it. Stop it.

Kim Kardashian reacts to 'unimaginable' Idaho murders - and urges public to help find missing woman
Kim Kardashian is feeling the weight of two heartbreaking true crime cases, and she's using her platform to shine a spotlight on both. On Sunday morning, the SKIMS mogul, 44, shared her raw reaction after watching One Night in Idaho, Amazon Prime's gripping documentary about the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. 'I'm watching One Night In Idaho, I thought I knew the story from the news but really had no idea,' Kardashian wrote on her Instagram Story alongside a photo of her TV screen. 'It's really emotional and you can feel every friend and parents pain.' She continued: 'So many details I just didn't know. Ugh it's just unimaginable.' The timing of Kardashian's post comes just days after Bryan Kohberger — the man convicted of killing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin — was sentenced to four life sentences plus 10 years. The brutal stabbings rocked the small college town of Moscow, Idaho in November 2022 and captured national attention for months. Though Kardashian didn't speak directly about the verdict, her emotional response to the documentary echoed the pain still felt by the victims' families and public. Just an hour later, the mother-of-four posted about another case, this time, a haunting missing persons mystery, covered in Netflix's Amy Bradley is Missing. 'This doc is mind blowing. Must see,' she wrote. ' We must find Amy! This is so crazy.' The documentary, Amy Bradley Is Missing, recently hit Netflix and revisits the baffling 1998 disappearance of the 23-year-old American woman who vanished from a cruise ship off the coast of Curaçao. Despite alleged sightings over the years and multiple theories, Amy has never been found. With over 356 million followers on Instagram, Kardashian has previously used her platform to advocate for wrongly convicted prisoners and to highlight flaws in the justice system. In May, she completed her law school program after a six year journey. Kardashian didn't attend traditional law school. In California, individuals can become lawyers by completing a four-year Law Office Study Program (LOSP), also known as 'reading the law,' instead of going to law school. 'I thought I knew the story from the news but really had no idea. It's really emotional and you can feel every friend and parents pain,' Kardashian wrote on her Instagram Story She still needs to pass the Bar Exam to practice law in the state. Over the past six years, Kim has dedicated roughly 18 hours a week to studying law, totaling more than 5,000 hours. Her efforts paid off when she passed the 'baby bar' back in 2021. Kim's process took longer than four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and her busy schedule. Kim had already passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination back in March — a big exam for her program — sources told TMZ. She is following in the footsteps of her late father, legendary attorney Robert Kardashian. He gained national recognition in the mid-1990s for his involvement in O.J. Simpson's murder trial, where he served as a friend and defense attorney on Simpson's legal 'Dream Team.' He passed away in 2003 from esophageal cancer. He was 59 years old. The reality TV star reportedly plans to take the bar exam in 2026.
