‘America’s Most Wanted’ Murder Suspect Outran Cops for 39 Years, Hid in Plain Sight as California Official

. . .A Florida man who outran cops for 39 years despite three appearances on “America’s Most Wanted” was caught in California this month while serving as president of a local water board, according to reports.

Donald Santini, 65, vanished from Hillsborough County in 1984 after being named the prime suspect in the brutal strangulation murder of Cynthia Ruth Wood, whose body was found dumped in a canal.

“We are all flabbergasted,” a colleague of Santini on the Lake Morena Views Mutual Water Company told ABC 10.

“He was a pillar of the community. He seemed upstanding. He was an advocate, non-confrontational, and was hardly hiding. I am still trying to process all of this.”

Using more than a dozen aliases and frequent changes of location, Santini eluded capture before finally being tracked down to Campo, a rural community of just 3,000 people an hour outside of San Diego.

Transgender-Identifying Man Convicted of Murder Transferred to Women’s Prison

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation transferred a transgender individual found guilty of serial murder to a women’s prison Friday, according to reports.

Dana Rivers, a trans-identifying man who was convicted of murdering a lesbian couple and their son, was transferred to Central California Women’s Facility, according to reports. The 68-year-old Rivers murdered Charlotte Reed and Patricia Wright along with their 19-year-old son, Benny Toto Diambu-Wright, according to Mercury News. Rivers shot the victims with a handgun, stabbed Reed 47 times and then set the garage on fire, per the outlet.

The murderer was sentenced to life in prison for the crimes. Judge Scott Patton said Rivers’ criminal actions were among the worst he ever dealt with.

“It is a horrible thing to sentence someone to die in prison, and I don’t take that lightly,” Patton said, “But this is the most depraved crime I ever handled in the criminal justice system in 33 years. Frankly, you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison.”

Radical Bill Would Classify Not Affirming Child’s Transgenderism as ‘Child Abuse’

A recently amended California bill would classify not affirming a child’s gender identity by one or both parents as “child abuse.”

AB 957 was introduced into the California legislature by Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City) and state Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco). The bill rewrites much of the state’s family law and classifies “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.”

The bill amends Section 3011 of the Family Code, which deals with child custody disputes, and requires that a court determining the “best interests” of the child must consider affirmation of transgender identity. If a parent were to deny the child’s “gender identity,” it would be a violation of the child’s health, safety, and welfare — equivalent to child abuse.

Because the bill changes the definition of what constitutes the “health, safety, and welfare” of a child, any organization interacting with children — including schools, churches, and hospitals — would be required to affirm gender transitions in minors.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that Wilson’s spokesman disputed the claim that the revisions change anything about the bill and stated that AB 957 relates only to family law, not criminal law.

Move Over Ladies, Miss California Is a Man This Year

If you haven’t heard, men can do anything women can do. That includes competing against females on their sports teams, giving birth, wearing dresses and sports bras, and now they can be deemed beauty queens.

Monroe Lace, a man who identifies as a woman, will compete in the 2023 Miss California pageant— going up against biological women who have spent years training and participating in the pageants to qualify for the big league.

In March, the “beauty queen” won the Miss San Francisco pageant, the first transgender man to be crowned in the competition’s 99-year history.

The 25-year-old said he feels responsible for being a role model for young children.

“Every time I put on the sash, the weight of it reminds me of the weight of my job; of the responsibility I have to make a difference for young children,” Lace said, adding that he has been “dreaming” about taking the crown away from actual women in pageants since he was 12 years old.

State Launches New Snitch Hotline to Report ‘Hate Acts’ and ‘Hate Incidents’ — Including ‘Name Calling’

. . .Last Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and the California Civil Rights Department announced the launch of CA vs Hate. Through the hotline, Californians will be able to snitch on their neighbors for committing “hate acts,” which the service explicitly states do not always include violence.

“A hate incident is a hostile expression or action that may be motivated by bias against another person’s actual or perceived identity,” the website states. “Perpetrators may be motivated by different discriminatory biases, including, but not limited to; bias based on race, color, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender, including gender identity.”

Some examples of “hate incidents,” according to the website, are “refusing service,” “derogatory name calling,” and bullying.

The new hotline, Newsom explained, is “an unequivocal message that hate will not be tolerated” in California.

“We stand firm for a California for All and it is important that we hold perpetrators accountable for their actions and provide resources for those individuals victimized by hate crimes,” he said in a statement. “Now, Californians have another tool to ensure that not only justice is served, but that individuals have access to additional resources to help deal with the lingering wounds that remain after such a horrendous crime occurs.” (Read more from “State Launches New Snitch Hotline to Report ‘Hate Acts’ and ‘Hate Incidents’ — Including ‘Name Calling'” HERE)

Disgusting: Woman Sentenced to 40 Years After Adopting Infant to Produce ‘Sexually Explicit Videos’

A California woman was sentenced to 40 years for exploiting two children, one of whom was an infant she adopted for the sole purpose of sexual abuse, through the production of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of Central District of California.

Stefani Kasey Marie Stevens, 31, was arrested in November 2019 after federal agents were alerted that sexually explicit material involving children had been uploaded by Stevens on a Kik online messaging account, a press release from the attorney’s office stated. In addition to the messaging app, law enforcement officials found a Google account linked to Stevens in which she had uploaded seven sexually explicit photos of the same victim, who was under the age of 12 at the time.

After searching through Stevens’ online accounts, authorities further discovered a conversation between Stevens and a like-minded individual in which Steven expressed her excitement over an upcoming adoption. In the discussion, Stevens revealed the reason for her excitement was so that she could create sexually explicit content with the infant. In subsequent interviews, Stevens admitted to law enforcement that she filmed herself performing oral sex on the infant and took an additional eight to 10 nude photos with the older victim, according to the press release.

California Reparations Task Force Votes to Approve Restitution Plan

California’s reparations task force voted on Saturday in favor of a reparations program, the first of its kind in the United States.

The committee of nine members voted to give final approval a plan with detailed explanations for how restitution should be made to victims of systemic racism, housing discrimination, mass incarceration, and health care inequities. The plan now goes to state legislature for approval. If passed, it could mean hundreds of billions of dollars in payments to black residents of the Golden State.

Calculations provided ahead of the vote showed that black residents who have lived in California their whole life and are 71 or older could receive up to $1.2 million in payments.

The proposed payments released on Wednesday revealed various alleged harms the committee seeks to atone for on behalf of the state of California, with all of the alleged harms varying depending on the time spent in California.

Law Enforcement Claims Renowned Homosexual Professor Admitted to Molestation of Multiple Children

A California professor has been busted for trying to arrange to rape a 7-year-old in conversations with an undercover FBI agent where he suggested luring the girl with a doll and chocolate, prosecutors said.

Rodger “Rod” Githens, an associate professor at the University of the Pacific, was arrested on April 21 on charges including receipt and distribution of images of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct, a criminal complaint from the Eastern District of California confirms.

The graphic complaint includes extensive details of Githens’ online conversations with an undercover FBI agent posing as a “‘taboo-friendly’” 30-year-old man who claimed to be sexually active with his 7-year-old niece.

During the exchange that began on Grindr on March 25, Githens said he was “experienced” with molesting children and expressed interest in meeting the man and his niece. . .

Githens, 44, also told the undercover agent that he was married to a 35-year-old man from Mexico, and that he once molested his husband’s 11-year-old nephew while watching television.
