Mom demands change after 5-year-old son wanders off from Fairfield school
A Fairfield mother said her worst nightmare was realized Wednesday when she went to pick up her child from his first day at Cleo Gordon Elementary School, and to her surprise, he was not there. Corinna Goode-Lavern says her 5-year-old son Tristan was not among the group of students waiting for their parents when she pulled in to pick him up. The children were not behind the gate, but standing on the parking lot sidewalk with their teacher. "It's scary to know our littles aren't safe at school," Goode-Lavern said. She says the teacher told her they did not know where her son was and would have to check the cameras to see if he even walked out with them. Goode-Lavern says she started frantically searching for her son across the school's campus with help from one of the front office workers. After having no luck finding him, Goode-Lavern turned her attention to the busy E. Tabor Avenue just in front of the school. "I actually had a panic attack in the car searching for him. My thoughts were, my son is gone forever. Where could he have gone? A five-year-old wandering, someone is going to pick him up or worse, someone is going to hit him," Goode-Lavern said. She called her husband in a panic. As it turns out, Goode-Lavern says that Tristan got scared while waiting for her to pick him up. He walked away from the pickup line and all the way home, a 12-minute walk. While she was driving through the neighborhood, a familiar face brought good news. "My local mailman actually stopped me and said, 'Hey, I seen your child walking, he is safe on your porch.' My son walked 8 long blocks across 7 streets alone as a 5-year-old. And nobody knew," she said. "When I got to him and he was crying, he said, 'Mommy, I looked both ways before I crossed.' " Goode-Lavern says the mailman made sure her son Tristan sat on the front porch and opened his lunch box to get him a snack. While he was running his route he was keeping an eye on the child, about to call 911. "I was like, 'I appreciate you so much. You made sure my son was safe and nobody else could do that for us,' " Goode-Lavern said. She said she confronted the district on Thursday, demanding change and ultimately pulled her child from the school. She feels there was not enough urgency by the staff or her child's teacher when it was discovered he was missing. Tristan will start at a different school within the district on Monday, but Goode-Lavern says she is working to get him moved out of the district entirely. In a statement, Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District leaders told CBS13: "Students' safety and well-being is always our top priority. We are aware of the incident involving a kindergarten student at Cleo Gordon on the first day of school. While the student was safely reunited with their family, this should not have occurred. District officials met with the family to discuss the incident. The school reviewed the circumstances and immediately updated its dismissal procedures, providing additional guidance for staff to reinforce protocols. We are taking this matter very seriously. Out of respect for the privacy of the student and family, we cannot provide any more details at this time." When asked what changes exactly were being implemented, the district gave this response: "Cleo Gordon Elementary has refined its dismissal procedures for kindergarten students to further support an orderly and safe end to the school day. Staff continue to use clipboards to confirm authorized pick-up, and now students remain behind the gates with staff until their guardian arrives. Parents and guardians park and meet students at the gates, rather than having the kindergarteners walk out to the pick-up area. These updates build on existing safety practices for our youngest learners."

Rochester woman receives stayed sentence for role in murder of man whose remains were found in tote
A 24-year-old woman has been sentenced for her role in the murder of an Isle, Minnesota, man whose partial remains were found in a tote in 2023, according to court records filed on Friday. Alexis Elling, of Rochester, Minnesota, was given a 57-month sentence for aiding an offender, accomplice after the fact, which will be stayed for five years. According to the sentencing order, Elling will be on probation for those five years, and at least 2/3 of that sentence must be spent in prison. She pleaded guilty to the charge in February 2024. On March 21, 2023, public works employees in Kathio Township, Minnesota, near Mille Lacs Lake, found a tote bound with bungee cords and industrial tape that had human remains inside. The remains were later identified as 25-year-old Rodney Pendegayosh Jr., of Isle, Minnesota. Pendegayosh's parents had reported him missing the day before the tote was found. According to charges, Elling's then-boyfriend, Bradley Allen Weyaus, of Isle, contacted Elling's roommate for a ride on March 19, 2023. When the roommate arrived at the home that Weyaus asked her to meet him at, Weyaus and Elling removed the tote from the residence and put it into the roommate's vehicle. When contacted by police, Elling allegedly admitted that, while she did not help place Pendegayosh's body in the container, she did help move it, knowing that his body was inside. Charges say she also admitted to moving a gun case, and said that a fake fingernail that was found inside the tote belonged to her. Charges say shortly after the tote was discovered on March 21, an investigator driving to the scene observed a white Saturn, similar to one associated with Weyaus, 21, heading in the same direction. He refused to pull over for the investigator and allegedly drove away at a high rate of speed. Law enforcement later located the vehicle at a rural property with several buildings near Southport Road in Mille Lacs County, according to court documents. Police say a resident of the property told officers the car had been driven by Weyaus. Officers arrested Weyaus, who had been hiding in one of the buildings on the property, and allegedly recovered two duffel bags containing a hammer, a hacksaw and industrial tape consistent with the tape on the tote. Charges say investigators allegedly found several items in the trash of a home Weyaus had been staying at, including pieces of carpet with what appeared to be blood stains on them and Pendegayosh's identification card cut into two pieces. Inside Weyaus' vehicle, police say they discovered a spent shotgun shell. Pendegayosh's throat area contained "several pellets of a type found in buckshot shotgun shells." Weyaus was sentenced in July 2025 to more than 25 years in prison for second-degree murder. Officials have said that the motive for the murder had to do with Elling's brother and Pendegayosh's alleged involvement in his fentanyl overdose earlier in 2023. The video above originally aired on March 28, 2023.
