Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

A 33-year-old Seattle man arrested three times in five days at or near Taylor Swift's New York apartment.  David Crowe's latest arrest came just two hours after he was in court for stalking her home.  Crowe first appeared at the McDonald's two blocks away from Swift's New York City townhouse. Then a witness says Crowe eased his way back down to Swift's building and was seen looking in a dumpster.  Then Crowe sat down on the loading dock a few doors down from Swift's apartment. Someone who recognized Crowe called 911. Police arrested Crowe on a criminal contempt charge, due to the fact an order of protection had just been issued during his arraignment on two counts of harassment and two counts of stalking. David Crowe has been in New York for at least the last few months. The New York Post reports prosecutors revealed that Crowe has staked out Taylor Swift's townhouse thirty  times in the past two months.  And his recent arrest spree began Saturday afternoon when police got a 911 call about a "disorderly person" trying to open the door to Taylor Swift's townhouse. This is not the first time Taylor Swift has dealt with a stalker.  Last summer, Westerly Rhode Island Police Chief Paul Gingerella said a woman who had previously been warned to stay away from Taylor Swift's home in Rhode Island was arrested outside the beachfront property.  A Florida man broke into Swift's home in New York City in 2018. He was sentenced to jail after pleading guilty to criminal contempt and attempted burglary. That was followed up in 2019 by an Iowa man who said he just wanted to meet the singer. He was arrested near her beachfront mansion carrying a crowbar and lock picks. A few months after that experience, a man from New Jersey was caught inside her home.

The Connecticut State Police believe Fotis Dulos attacked Jennifer Dulos at her New Canaan home,  killed her, and then tried to dispose of the evidence in trash bins around Hartford. Michelle Troconis was with Dulos during the time he was dumping trash bags. Her attorney, Jon Schoehorn, says Troconis told police multiple times that she was on her phone, unaware of what her boyfriend was doing. The jury has now seen that recovered evidence, retrieved from the trash.  Connecticut State Police Sgt. Kevin Duggan testified about what was found in the trash bins and the process used for finding them.  He described how the items were taken from the trash bin, the contents spread out, photographed, and then placed into an investigator trash bag. The items were then taken for analysis. One of the items recovered from the trash bins was a bra with what appears to be blood stains. The bra's back clasp was still connected, but the front had been cut. A long-sleeved shirt is shown. It too, looks like it has bloodstains on it and has been cut in much the same way the blood-stained bra. Duggan also testifies that officers uncovered zip ties, plastic ponchos, a white t-shirt, a bath towel, black gloves, a screwdriver, and a box cutter, and all appeared to have blood-like stains.

A 1-year-old child dies after being fed water beads, batteries, and acetone.  Aleisia Owens, 21, the girlfriend of the baby Iris'  father, has been arrested for intentionally feeding the child harmful items. According to police, the child died of organ failure, a result of acetone poisoning.  The baby's mother first took the girl to the hospital, after  changing her diaper and finding "water beads." Over the next few days, Iris passes about 20 water beads. She also passes 3 button-shaped batteries and a metal screw. After 4 days, the baby can go home with her mother.  Pennsylvania Child Youth Services, CYS, inspects both parents' homes and, according to Newsweek, finds no issue at either residence. Iris lives with her mother full-time, but she continues to visit her dad at his house where Bailey Jacoby lives with his girlfriend, Aleisia Lynnae Owens. During a weekend visitation at her father's house,  Bailey Jacoby goes to the grocery store, leaving Iris with his live-in girlfriend.  As he prepares to check out at the grocery store,  Owens calls Jacoby and tells him that something is wrong with Iris, she isn't acting like herself, and she is unresponsive. Jacoby tells Owens to call 911. Emergency responders note that Iris is breathing but with a fixed gaze and weak response. She's transported to the hospital and she dies four days later.   The homicide investigation heats up when investigators discovered Bailey Jacoby's live-in girlfriend, the last person to be with Iris alone, Aleisia Lynnae Owens, had been researching online the harm that water beads and batteries can cause children before the child ingesting the items.  The Attorney General's Office confirms that Owens also conducted online research into household items that could cause serious harm or death to children.  Forensic extractions of Owen's cell phone show she searched online for topics such as, “If your child drinks a lot of nail polish remover, what happens,” “What happens if a baby eats nail polish,” “How many cases have there been from babies dying from eating nail polish.” Another search on Owens’ phone reads, “In how many cases have kids died from eating water beads" “water beads harmful" "Water beads near me" “Beauty products that are poisonous to kids” During the days while Iris Alfera was in the hospital as well as the day after she passed away, investigators discovered numerous online searches conducted on Aleisia Owen's phone for information on how to pass a polygraph test.

When pregnant Laci Peterson went missing, it was her stepfather who called 911, not her husband. When Laci's body was found four months later in San Francisco Bay, Scott Peterson became suspect number one. Prosecutors revealed he was having an affair with a woman who did not know he was married.   Scott Peterson has always maintained his innocence, even after his conviction. His death sentence has been overturned and now Peterson is serving a life sentence without parole. Now, the Innocence Project is taking on the conviction of Scott Peterson claiming there is new evidence. As the Los Angeles Innocence Project says the new evidence raises questions about who abducted and killed Laci Peterson. They also claim Peterson's State and Federal Constitutional Rights were violated and have filed a motion seeking evidence from the original trial.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Dale Carson – High-profile Attorney (Jacksonville), Former FBI Agent & Former Police Officer (Miami-Dade County); Author: “Arrest-Proof Yourself”  Caryn L.
