Scorned lover who ignited county's worst wildfire in HISTORY to hide the body of woman he murdered is jailed
A jealous lover has been jailed for life after a fire he lit to cover up a woman's murder grew to a massive wildfire that killed two more people. Victor Serriteno, 33, pleaded guilty to three counts of murder and arson charges and must stay behind bars at least 73 years. He met Priscilla Castro, 22, online and she came to visit him in Vacaville, California, on August 16, 2020, and was last seen at 5.49pm in her car. The next time anyone saw her was on September 2 in Putah Creek Wildlife Area, ground zero for one of the worst wildfires in the region's history. Castro's body was burned beyond recognition, but her angel pendant survived and led to her body being identified and Serriteno arrested. Serriteno never explained how and why he killed Castro, but admitted to setting fire to her body on August 18 to destroy the evidence. The fire spread and became the Markley Fire, which merged with other wildfires in the LNU Lightning Complex and claimed six lives and destroyed 1,500 buildings. Douglas Mai, 82, and Leon 'James' Bone, 64, were found dead in their homes in Solano County, unable to escape the blaze traced back to Serriteno's arson. An eight-month investigation pinned their deaths on him, and he was slapped with two more murder charges and two counts of arson. Serriteno's sentencing in Solano County Superior Court followed emotional testimony from Castro's family, Mai and Bone's loved ones, and residents who barely escaped the fire and lost everything. 'She wanted to own her own hair salon, own a family business and maybe even get married and settle down one day,' Castro's mother Lisa Phelps told the court. 'I know without a doubt where she is. She is in heaven in the presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Do you know where you are going?' 'You will have time now, to get right with the Lord. The fire you set was blazing but it's nothing compared to hell.' Castro's close friend Emelina Corona said Serriteno 'tore a hole through every single person who knew and loved her'. 'Your prison time will never equal the pain you caused. But she will live on - long after you are forgotten,' she said. Mai's neighbor Jeff Shamrock added: 'There is no place in civil society for a cold, calculated killer. And that's what he is.' Castro's body was burned beyond recognition, but her angel pendant survived and led to her body being identified and Serriteno arrested Solano County District Attorney Krishna Abrams said Serriteno 'almost got away with it' when he burned Castro's body to cover up his crime. 'This was one of the most catastrophic fires in the history of Solano County. Lives of those impacted have been changed forever,' she said. 'We cannot undo these vicious, brutal, and senseless acts by Serriteno, but the one saving grace with this plea and sentence is that it provides some sense of closure for all of the victims and their loved ones. 'This defendant will be locked up for the remainder of his life to keep him from harming anyone else.' The LNU Lightning Complex was one of the largest wildfires in the state's history, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The other fires were sparked after nearly 11,000 lightning strikes hit the northern part of the state as it endured a historic heatwave. Collectively, the fire complex scorched over 363,000 acres across California's famed wine country and burned down almost 1,500 structures after forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents. The massive inferno tore through the area north of San Francisco for two months and killed six people.

Jim Harbaugh won't talk about Michigan sign-stealing penalties
August 17 - Jim Harbaugh met with reporters late Saturday and refused to discuss the punishment received by his former program, Michigan. "Like I said to you last year, not engaging," the Los Angeles Chargers coach said after his team's final-seconds loss to the Rams in a preseason game in Inglewood, Calif. "I'm done engaging." Harbaugh led the Wolverines to an undefeated season and the College Football Playoff championship in 2023, but the program was plagued by accusations of stealing signs from opposing teams between 2021-23 under the guidance of recruiting analyst Connor Stalions. In releasing its findings publicly on Friday, the NCAA said that "over the course of three seasons, the Michigan football program committed violations involving an off-campus, in-person scouting scheme, impermissible recruiting inducements and communications, head coach responsibility rules, individuals' failures to cooperate and Michigan's failure to monitor." The NCAA's punishments included a fine based on Big Ten revenues, and that could add up to a fine of $20 million to $30 million, in addition to other financial penalties. The NCAA also issued a 10-year show cause order for Harbaugh, 61, which would impede his chances of coaching in college again if he wanted to. The Chargers hired Harbaugh as their head coach following the Wolverines' title game. Michigan said it is appealing the NCAA ruling. --Field Level Media

Mormon missionary president is shot during violent home invasion in Mexico City
The president of a Mormon mission in Mexico City was shot at point-blank range during an early morning robbery attempt at his house. Ohio-born Tyler Wallis, 57, and his wife Elizabeth Wallis, 54, were at their home in Mexico's capital when an intruder broke in around 2am and attacked him. The burglar shot Wallis with a 9mm pistol just below the sternum and the bullet penetrated two inches without hitting any organs or arteries, family members shared in a Latter Day Saints Facebook group. 'An undeniable miracle that he is not dead,' they added. According to another relative, Elizabeth texted the family group chat immediately after the shooting, begging for prayers. 'We need prayers immediately. We've had a robber break in our house and Tyler has been shot two times please see this and wake everyone up and have them pray for him,' she allegedly texted. Elizabeth was left unharmed in the violent robbery. Wallis was treated at a nearby medical center in Mexico City and is in stable condition, church spokesperson Sam Penrod said. 'The Church is cooperating with local authorities as they investigate the incident. All missionaries are safe,' an announcement the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints website reported. One of their daughters shared an update on Wallis's health: 'My dad is doing well - we appreciate all the prayers and rejoice in miracles,' their daughter Madeleine shared on Facebook. The post was flooded with comments promising to pray for Wallis. Wallis had moved to Mexico City less than two months ago and began serving as mission president on July 1. 'A new chapter of our life has begun,' Elizabeth said in a Facebook post announcing their move, adding, 'We are excited to serve the Lord in this capacity.' The couple are originally from Orlando, Florida, and have four children. Elizabeth works as a life coach for parents of children with anxiety. 'My husband and I raised our four children in 6 cities. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am a woman trying to reduce anxiety in the world,' she shared on her website. While Mexico City has become safer in recent years, there is still a high rate of robbery, according to data from Dow Jones. Violent robberies remain a risk in many neighborhoods close to central areas, especially in the central Cuauhtemoc borough.
