Some psychic! Fugitive who worked predicted the future nabbed after two decades on the run for fatal DWI crash in Florida
A self-proclaimed psychic on the run for more than 20 years after a fatal Florida car crash apparently never saw his capture coming — and now thinks hiding out in the Great White North was a big mistake. Patrick Lutts Jr. went on the in 2003, after skipping out on a court date related to a Christmas morning drunken driving crash in Orlando in 1998 that left two teens dead, according to the CBC. Lutts, 51, snuck into Canada and settled in Toronto in 2004, where he never opened a bank account and made a living hosting monthly horror-themed trivia nights under the name 'Pat Lighthelp,' the outlet reported. 3 Patrick Lutts, Jr., lived out in the open in Canada for 21 years. Facebook/Quebec Disappearance and Criminal Case Lutts was working for a New Zealand-based psychic reading app called LifeReader. 'I thought that authorities would be able to find me as I stayed in the same place in Toronto for over 20 years,' wrote Lutts in a March 25 affidavit uncovered by the CBC. 'That day just never came until now, but I am tired of running.' 3 Facial recognition software was crucial to Lutts' capture. Facebook/Quebec Disappearance and Criminal Case Lutts, who has been profiled on the TV show 'America's Most Wanted,' was busted by Toronto Police in February and sought bail prior to his extradition to the United States. An anonymous tip led the department's fugitive squad to Lutts. An online cyber sleuth is also said to have used facial recognition software to pinpoint Lutts' location. Lutts remains in Canada awaiting extradition. 3 Nancy Lopez and her boyfriend were killed inthe 1998 Christmas morning crash. Facebook/Quebec Disappearance and Criminal Case Lutts is accused of crashing his car into a vehicle driven by Nancy Lopez, 19, and her boyfriend, Darvin Javier DeJesus-Taboada, 18, neither of whom survived. He faces a pair of DUI manslaughter counts, and if convicted, could end up spending the next 30 years behind bars.

Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell still seeking justice for brother killed in Chicago three years ago
Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell has gone nearly three years without answers in his younger brother's 2022 murder in Chicago. Caldwell's 18-year-old brother, Christian Beamon, was one of two people killed and two others injured in a shooting on Chicago's South Side on June 24, 2022, in an attack that was not intended for him, according to the Chicago Police Department (CPD). Advertisement 'It's tragic for my family and me, as someone who's been very actively seeking answers on my brother's murder,' Caldwell told Fox News Digital. 'And this is one in which I never would have fathomed three years ago that we would be at this particular point. It's horrific to know that families like mine experienced these kinds of things all the time … being without answers for years, but I must keep fighting for my brother. Simply put, I have no choice.' CPD told Fox News Digital that its investigation into Beamon's murder is ongoing, and no one was in custody in connection with the fatal shooting as of Monday. The June 24, 2022, shooting that killed Beamon on the 11400 block of South Vincennes Avenue also left an 18-year-old woman dead, a 31-year-old man in critical condition and a 25-year-old woman in 'fair' condition with a gunshot wound to the leg, according to CPD. 5 Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell poses with his brother Christian Beamon for the younger sibling was killed in Chicago on June 24, 2022.

Beamon's case was featured Monday evening on FOX's 'America's Most Wanted' with host John Walsh, who solved his 6-year-old son Adam Walsh's 1981 murder and has since dedicated his life to helping other families get justice. 'I mean, this is what goes on in Chicago,' Walsh told Fox News Digital. 'They have these crazy high homicide rates, and it's unacceptable. I've done several shows in Chicago, and I'm the father of a murdered child. My 6-year-old son, Adam, was kidnapped and murdered, so I know what it is to lose a child. And Gianno's whole family is devastated. You never get over that death. … There's no such thing as closure. … Most murder victims and survivors from murders don't believe in closure — they believe in ending the search, getting justice.'

'They may have discovered something that is of help to my brother's case in the investigation into his murder. I'm really thankful and honored to be able to share the screen with somebody who's been doing this work for decades and has dedicated his life to it.' Advertisement Chicago reached a 25-year high in homicides in 2021, when it recorded 804 killings. Since then, that number has steadily fallen to 695 homicides in 2022, 617 homicides in 2023, and 573 homicides in 2024. Last year marked the first time in five years since the Windy City recorded a homicide total under 600. 'One murder is too many. It is way too many, and it's hard to say that we're moving in the right direction in the city of Chicago when there are still soft-on-crime policies in place that allow and empower criminals to commit more crime,' Caldwell said. 'Things like the no-chase policy where the police have to call in to their supervisor with their own foot in a car to get permission to pursue a suspect.' Walsh agreed that the number of murders in Chicago remains too high even though it has fallen since 2021. 5 Caldwell shared this family picture to Instagram that captured him having a meal with relatives including his younger brother. Instagram/@giannocaldwell The 'America's Most Wanted' host believes Beamon is one of many teens in Chicago who become 'collateral damage' in violent gang and drug wars; many killers don't even know their victims, which he believes to be the case in Beamon's murder. 'We have so many particularly Democratic leaders who just fight that tooth and nail because they're enamored with protecting criminals, and because they are so worried about criminal's rights they forget about victims and victims' rights, which is how you can have someone like Gianno Caldwell — a known identity, a known figure on the news stage — still without justice for his 18-year-old brother's murder,' Chicago Alderman Ramond Lopez told Fox News Digital. Of the 573 homicides recorded last year, CPD's Bureau of Detectives cleared 319, representing a clearance rate of 51.7%. — the highest since 2019. Advertisement 'We're closing cases without apprehending killers,' Lopez said. 'Oftentimes, we're seeing cases run cold because the city has not either A) fully staffed the detective's unit or B) put priority on working with community in a timely manner to try to apprehend individuals for these reprehensible crimes.' 5 CPD told Fox News Digital that its investigation into Beamon's murder is ongoing, and no one was in custody in connection with the fatal shooting as of Monday. Jeffery Salter for NY Post Walsh said he would have 'never read in the Chicago paper that [Caldwell's] brother had been murdered unless he was a reporter for Fox. 'The collateral damage in Chicago is catastrophic. But [the shooters] sprayed the crowd and several other people were hurt. And that wouldn't have reached the amount of publicity it's reached if Gianno didn't know me and he didn't work for Fox,' he said. Advertisement Walsh also noted that the 'defund police' movement has 'devastated' Chicago officers with demoralization. Retirements combined with low retention rates of young Chicago officers have created a perfect storm for staffing issues within the Department, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Additionally, a 2016 Department of Justice investigation found CPD's suicide rate was 60% higher than the national average at 22.7 suicides per 100,000 officers. Caldwell has since turned his pain into action with the Caldwell Institute for Public Safety, which aims to help families like his get justice for their loved ones who died as a result of violent crime. 5 Caldwell interviews House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy outside the Capitol Building in Washington DC on Sept. 29, 2022. Getty Images 'The Institute is about law and order, it's about victims' rights and protecting victims, but it's ultimately about justice, no matter what that looks like, whether it be somebody who was … wrongly convicted or if it's about an individual who should be in jail and should be convicted,' he explained. Advertisement Caldwell and his brother were two of nine siblings who grew up poor in Chicago. The Fox analyst has repeatedly criticized the city's soft-on-crime policies that allow repeat offenders back on the streets. Born in 2004, Beamon was the youngest of the siblings and had just turned 18 in 2022. Caldwell previously told Fox News Digital that Beamon and his other younger brothers are like sons to him as the oldest sibling. Cook County Crime Stoppers is offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect or suspects involved in the shooting that left Beamon dead.

John Walsh's Children: All About the 'America's Most Wanted' Host's Family (Including His Late Son Adam)
John Walsh was inspired to host America's Most Wanted after the death of his son John's son Adam was kidnapped and murdered in 1981 John and his wife Revé Walsh also share children Meghan, Callahan and HaydenAmerica's Most Wanted host John Walsh is on a mission to protect kids. Each week on the Fox series, John delivers case details of dangerous fugitives, warning the public about their crimes. It's a cause close to Walsh's heart: In 1981, his son Adam was kidnapped at a mall in Hollywood, Fla. Two weeks later, police found his remains. Adam's loss pushed John and his wife, Revé Walsh, to advocate for young crime victims around the country. In 1984, the pair founded the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), which is "the nation's largest and most influential child protection organization," per its website. After their son's death, the Walshes welcomed three other children — Meghan, Callahan and Hayden — and raised them out of the spotlight. In January 2024, Callahan announced he would co-host the America's Most Wanted reboot alongside his father, which airs new episodes on Monday nights. 'Adam left a huge hole in the hearts of the whole family," Callahan told PEOPLE. "That hole is filled in little by little by the justice we're able to get for other families by bringing missing children home.' Here's everything to know about John Walsh's children: Adam, Meghan, Callahan and Hayden. John and Revé's oldest son, Adam, was born on Nov. 14, 1974. When Adam was 6, he accompanied Revé to a Sears department store in a Hollywood, Fla., mall on July 27, 1981. While there, Revé briefly left Adam to watch boys playing a video game while she shopped for a lamp, but when she came back, he and the rest of the group were gone, according to WFTV. In a July 2006 interview with Larry King, John explained that Revé was "three aisles away — gone for about four minutes — came back, no Adam.' After trying to search for Adam in the store, Revé eventually called the police. John told King the subsequent search for Adam was 'incompetent' and unorganized, partly because the police 'didn't know what they were doing." Two weeks after the abduction, on Aug. 10, 1981, Adam's head was found in a canal over 100 miles from the mall, per WFTV. No other parts of his body were ever found. A few years later, the television movie Adam, which was based on Adam's case, premiered on Oct. 10, 1983. After the broadcast, the film was followed by pictures and descriptions of missing children, plus a hotline to take calls about potential leads. The NCMEC stated that 12 children were rescued within six months of the movie's premiere. Shortly after, serial killer Ottis Toole reportedly confessed to kidnapping and murdering Adam, later recanting his confession. He subsequently confessed again and recanted, per the Los Angeles Times. Toole was never charged, in part because police lost evidence, including a bloody carpet, from his car, WFTV reported. In 2008, Hollywood police closed Adam's case, officially naming Toole — who had died in prison in 1996 — as Adam's killer. Adam's death pushed John and Revé to advocate for victims of violent crimes. In addition to establishing the NCMEC in 1984, Congress passed the Missing Children's Assistance Act that same year, thanks in part to advocacy from the Walsh family. In 2006, Congress passed the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, which organizes sex offenders into tiers and requires sex offenders to give mandates on their whereabouts according to their tier. During an interview with People Now in January 2020, John remembered Adam as 'the most wonderful, beautiful little boy.' Meghan was born in 1982, one year after her brother's death. In 2006, Revé told King that the couple didn't hesitate to have more children following Adam's loss. "I think that really, really quickly after we found out Adam's fate, we said the only thing that makes sense is to have another child and get rid of this agony and find something that's as wonderful as Adam and that was Meghan,' she said. Growing up as Adam's sister came with challenges, but Meghan understood her parents' intentions. 'Well, I think it's always been hard ... They have always been very cautious with us," she told King. "[But] this gets them up every morning. This is what drives them ... if this tragedy had to happen to cause this much good, then obviously it was inevitable and it was for a reason.' At the time of the interview, Meghan worked as a painter, living in North Carolina with her then-fiancé. She has since maintained a private life. Callahan was born in 1985. When King asked Callahan if he felt he had to live up to certain standards, Callahan called his parents "great" and opened up about embracing their important cause. "I'm very proud to be part of this family, to see what work they have done for children all across the country," he said. In 2008, Callahan graduated from Stetson University, where he majored in business administration and management, per his LinkedIn. He married his wife Monica Perez Walsh in 2014, per her Facebook. After college, Callahan began working on America's Most Wanted. 'I did post-production audio and then was a PA shooting standup segments and eventually producing the show's re-enactments," he told PEOPLE. "My father made sure I knew how to do every position.' Today, Callahan stars with his dad on America's Most Wanted. In addition to hosting the show, Callahan is also the executive director of the Florida branch of the NCMEC. Hayden was born in 1994. As the youngest Walsh child, John says that Hayden grew up with fewer rules than his older siblings, who went 'through all the tough stuff and all the strict discipline' after their brother's death. In between high school and college, Hayden took a gap year to address chronic migraines, he told Sidelines in January 2017. During that time, he played lots of polo "every chance he got" — a passion he shares with his dad, John. Hayden graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2016, per his LinkedIn. He currently works as a senior associate producer for OverUnder Content, which creates In Pursuit With John Walsh. Read the original article on People

2004 Knoxville murder case, mother's persistence highlighted in ABC special
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — More than 20 years after the fatal stabbing of a University of Tennessee student in West Knoxville, an episode of ABC's '20/20' will be focusing on the years-long murder investigation and a mother's determination to find justice. In December 2004, Johnia Berry was 21 years old. She had just moved to Knoxville to pursue a master's degree at the University of Tennessee and was about to receive an honors degree from East Tennessee State University. In the early morning hours of December 6, 2004, that would all change. Around 4 a.m. that Saturday, Berry and her roommate were attacked. Berry was fatally stabbed. Her roommate was wounded but able to get away. Although she knocked on doors and tried to get help, Berry ultimately died. 6 News covered the case, learning that Berry had just moved to Knoxville from the Tri-Cities area about six weeks before. In the aftermath of the stabbing, Berry's family looked for answers and encouraged anyone who knew anything to speak with police. By May 2005, the family had a billboard installed with the suspect's description and a sketch of what he was believed to look like. Investigators were searching for a 5'8″ tall man who weighed around 150 pounds. DNA technology could help identify remains found in Knoxville after nearly 40 years As a year passed since the murder, the Knox County Sheriff's Office began looking at new steps that could be taken in the investigation and asked Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen to double the reward being offered. At that point, investigators had conducted more than 300 interviews and submitted 80 DNA samples for testing, but a motive had not been discovered. By December 28 of 2005, the reward had been increased to $60,000. The following spring, Berry's mother, Joan Berry, began to push for the investigation to be featured on 'America's Most Wanted,' a national television show, in hopes of spreading awareness for the case as a suspect had not been arrested. In May 2006, however, the investigation hit a roadblock that no one could have anticipated. The lead investigator, Assistant Chief Keith Lyon was killed while on duty when a car crashed into his SUV. Lyon's brother told 6 News that Lyon was very passionate about finding her killer, and her family shared that they spoke with Lyon nearly every day. After Lyon's death, Berry's parents told 6 News it became much more difficult to get updates from the sheriff's office on the case. As the Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchinson refused to appear in and allow 'America's Most Wanted' to cover Johnia Berry's case, her family collected more than 2,000 signatures on a petition to seek him to reconsider, but Hutchinson reportedly said there was no reason to take the case to the national level until all local leads dried up. That summer, Johnia Berry's parents and the community supporting them persisted, protesting outside the City County building on July 14, 2006. The group of more than 50 people were seeking two things: For Hutchinson to reconsider his refusal to go on 'America's Most Wanted,' and for District Attorney General Randy Nichols to reconsider his denial of the family's request to ask for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's assistance in the case. What is NamUs? How a federal database helps solve East TN missing persons cases In August 2006, the case began to gain some interstate traction with the Berry family finding help spreading the word about their daughter's case from an unexpected source. Food City president and CEO Steve Smith, a longtime family friend of the Berry family, watched Johnia Berry grow up. On 50 of its semi-trucks, Food City added four-foot-tall posters with Johnia's photo, the sketch of the suspect, and contact information to report tips. For the next year, Berry's family did not get the answers they hoped for. They continued to hold events on the days that would have been her birthdays, and Joan Berry spoke out asking for anyone who knew anything to speak up. On October 3, 2006 Joan Berry quite literally took the search into her own hands by handing out putting up fliers with information about the case. For Johnia's 24th birthday in August of 2007, the family and community members passed out flyers and pictures. Roughly a month later, the break in the case finally came. The Knox County Sheriff's Office announced on September 24, 2007, that a man, identified as Taylor Olson, 21, had been arrested in connection to Johnia Berry's murder. Although Olson was 6'3″ tall, compared to the suspect description of 5'8″ tall, Berry's father told 6 News he saw a resemblance between Olson and the sketch and noted that the description was 'given by someone that was getting stabbed at 4 o'clock in the morning.' During the course of the investigation, more than 600 interviews were conducted and samples from more than 240 people were tested. Knox County Sheriff JJ Jones released that Olson had become a person of interest about four to five months before his arrest. Olson had voluntarily submitted DNA when he was arrested in a separate case in July 2007. In connection to Johnia Berry's death, Olson was arrested at West Town Mall on September 21, 2007. Olson was indicted on seven counts including first-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated burglary. His trial was scheduled to begin in March of 2008 but was delayed. Although Berry's parents were surprised to learn the trial could take between four and six weeks, the first day of the trial never came. On March 24, 2008, Olson was found dead by apparent suicide in his jail cell. Officials said Olson showed no signs of suicidal tendencies, and he was checked on every hour as he was alone in he cell. Although Olson was not convicted in Berry's death, there are two impactful laws and an annual event that honor her memory. Her parents worked with state lawmakers to develop the Johnia Berry Act of 2007, which required any person charged with a violent crime to submit a DNA sample. Previously, only those convicted of felonies were required to submit DNA samples. On May 23 of that year, the bill passed the Tennessee General Assembly unanimously. Lonely Bones: Stories of the Forgotten Dead 2007 also marked the first year of the Johnia Berry Memorial Toy Drive, which collected unwrapped toys for children at the Knoxville Area Resource Mission during the inaugural event. In 2024, the annual toy drive marked its 20th year collecting toys for children in need. Joan Berry also founded a nonprofit organization, Hope for Victims, which provides help for families and victims of violent crimes. The group lobbied for the Victim Photo Life Bill in 2015, which sought to allow a photo of the victim to be admissible as evidence during a trial to show the general appearance and condition of the victim while they were alive. The Tennessee General Assembly's website states that the bill passed, and the law went into effect on July 1, 2015. ABC's '20/20' will highlight Berry's case in the episode called 'Blood on the Door.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
