Indianapolis Mother Arrested After Offering Man to Rape 7-Month-Old Daughter for $400
An Indiana mother-of-seven is facing a felony sex trafficking charge after she tried to get $400 from a man in exchange for raping her seven-month-old daughter, according to police. Morgan Stapp, 32, was arrested on Tuesday at a home in Indianapolis following a months-long investigation that stemmed from disturbing messages and photos shared on Snapchat, FOX59 reported. 'U Can F**k Her for $400' The FBI launched the investigation in November after they received a report from the social media platform that included the messages sent by an individual with the username "morgan-stapp." "U can f**k her for 400$," one message read, according to records obtained by FOX59. "Half now rest after. I'll send my address. I do live alone, and her dad is not in the picture." Stapp Claimed Her Account was 'Hacked' When Stapp was interviewed by the FBI on November 11, 2024, she reportedly claimed that her Snapchat had been "hacked" and that she no longer had access to her "morgan-stapp" account. Stapp explained that she had received an email saying her account was permanently banned due to "online commercial sex transactions." Later that same month, Stapp reportedly admitted to lying to the FBI about being banned from her account. The FBI requested help from the Indianapolis metro police, who obtained a search warrant of Stapp's Snapchat account, leading them to thousands of messages over the course of three days in November. Stapp Sent Out Messages Asking Users if They Wanted to Buy Her 'Nudes' So She Could Pay for Baby Diapers There were 81 messages that Stapp sent out, asking the question, "Would you be interested in buying my nudes so I can get baby diapers?" The messages, all of which were sent after Stapp claimed she no longer had access to the app, were sent from an IP address in an area near her home address, police said. Stapp was booked into the Marion County Jail on felony charges of attempted child sexual trafficking and her bond was set at $200,000. She is scheduled to be in court Friday.

Indian-origin man in Carmel asks his staff one question, lands in jail for conspiracy to kill wife
Darshan Soni, an Indian-origin man in Carmel, Indiana, was arrested after a brief investigation into a question that he asked one of his employees unraveled several conspiracies that he had been hatching to kill his wife. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to the court documents obtained by FOX59, the investigation into Soni began on May 12 when the cops received an anonymous tip that Soni was conspiring to murder his wife. The tipster said Soni asked his employees at the Compass Property Group where he could get a silencer, and the murder was supposed to take place on May 16. Soni was also seen picking up a wig from the residence of an employee, the tipster told the cops. The employee whose help Soni asked for confided in the tipster that Soni had previously asked them if they were willing to kill his wife and how much money they would take. The employee, according to the tipster, agreed to help Soni and adviced how he could take his cell phone to a different location when the murder would take place. The police contacted the employee and they agreed to cooperate with the police but the employee alerted Soni that cops were after him. Salty smoothie, poison from India to kill wife The investigators talked to Soni to find out whether she had been poisoned before. The wife told them that she had severe nerve pain in November 2024. She told the investigators that on one occasion, she thought her smoothie tasted salty. And another day, she found a white clumpy substance in one of her smoothies and when she brought this up with her husband, Darshan told her it might be the detergent. The employee whose help Darshan sought told the police that Darshan told him earlier that he had purchased some type of poison from India. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sojni was obsessively reading a book called "Rise and Kill First", the employee said. Cops then installed a GPS device and an audio recording device on the employee who was going to meet Darshan. In the recorded conversation, Soni said there had been no divorces in his family for several generations and he did not want his kids to have to go through that. Soni was arrested on May 16 and was transported to the Hamilton County Jail.
