Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Kjersten Strang, devoted mom to a young son, social media pages covered with almost every photo of her son. Kjersten's last post on Facebook, is written directly to her son expressing "as long as I'm living my baby, you'll be loved" and "I'll love you forever". Kjersten's friends describe her as an "angel" and they organize a GoFundMe to provide help with funeral expenses and plan to gift the remaining proceeds over to Kjersten's mother, Elaine.
 
Kjersten, was tragically killed while she was obeying road rules by riding her ebike in the designated 'bike lane" in Gulfport, Florida around 10pm Saturday night. Unfortunately, a driver of a Nissan Altima was breaking every road rule and was being driven a repeat offender, Xavier Rigby. Without warning, Rigby slams Kjersten from behind at a high rate of speed, throwing the 38-year-old mother into the air, forcing her to land so hard on the windshield of Rigby's car, trapping her in the broken glass windshield. This is when many would hope the perp stops to render aid, but no, Rigby does not stop, he continues driving as if there isn't an injured woman on his windshield.
 
Police on the scene report Rigby shows multiple signs of impairment, the smell alcohol, bloodshot eyes, stumbles, and his speech is slurred. Rigby also refuses the roadside sobriety test so police immediately arrest him and haul him off to the Pinellas County Jail. Police charge Rigby with leaving the scene of a Crash Involving Death, Vehicular Homicide Leaving the Scene, and DUI Manslaughter. 
 
More shocking details surface after Rigby's arrest, unveiling his previous extensive criminal driving record that includes a previous hit-and-run with DUI charges as well. Unfortunately, the state reduced that DUI to a lesser charge of "reckless driving." His driving record also cited several traffic infractions, one being speeding more than 30 miles per hour over the speed limit.
 
During Rigby's first court appearance, the judge has strong words for him, calling Rigby a "Danger to the community" and not only did this second DUI kill somebody, but also he dragged their body while fleeing the scene and did not bother to stop to render them aid.

SUSPECT KEEPS DRIVING WITH YOUNG MOM DEAD ON HIS WINDSHIELD AFTER MOWING HER DOWN

A Texas woman was convicted and sentenced this week for the murder of her diabetic husband in 2023 by neglect as he suffered from an insulin overdose.

An arrest was made in the arson fire that burned down the Palisades earlier this year, killing 12 people, destroying more than 6,800 structures, both homes and businesses, and damaging over 1,000 more buildings. 
 
After dropping off an Uber passenger in Pacific Palisades, 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknech parked his car and tried but failed to contact a former friend. He gets out of the car, walks up a nearby trail, takes iPhone videos, and listens to a rap song. Its music video includes objects being lit on fire.
 
Then, twelve minutes into the new year, a fire is started. With weak cell service, Rinderknecht walks back down the trail, continually calling 911 until he finally connects, only to find out other residents already reported the fire. 
 
As Rinderknecht drives away, he passes firefighters and turns back to watch them on the scene. He records while firefighters quickly extinguish the blaze, or so they thought.
 
The dense underbrush makes it difficult to see, and the roots underground continue to smolder. A week after the 911 calls reporting the Lachman fire, the Santa Ana Winds create an explosion of deadly fire, spreading the remains of the Lachman fire across LA, freshly named the Palisades fire. 
 
Investigators question Rinderknecht as he repeatedly called 911 about the January 1st fire.
 
During those calls, Rinderknecht asked ChatGPT, "Are you at fault if a fire is lit because of your cigarettes?" 
 
Rinderknecht gives conflicting statements about whether he smoked near the trail that night and where he was when he called. Rinderknecht claims he was at the bottom of the trail, but location data shows while speaking with 911, he’s just 30 feet from the fire’s origin. 
 
Ultimately, Rinderknecht is charged.

Killer Caught on Cam: Victim's Cell Records Her Death ID'ing Executioner| Crime Alert 6AM 10.09.2025

Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, came to the United States with her family to escape her war-torn country for a better life. Iryna took English classes, had a job and was making a productive life for herself, but all her aspirations were cut short by an unprovoked violent attack from a man with a criminal history. 
 
Video shows Iryna getting on the train in Charlotte North Carolina, taking a seat and looking at her phone quietly. Video shows a passenger sitting directly behind Iryna, who we later came to know as Carlos Brown Jr. A close-up of Brown's hands can be seen opening and unfolding the knife in order to prepare to stand up to stab Iryna. Although Iryna's hat covers a lot of her face, the shock in her eyes, along with the terror she silently expressed during her final moments of life, bleeding out, surrounded by panic is heartbreaking to watch. 
 
Video also shows Brown, in an orange hoodie, walking the aisles of the train with blood dripping on the floor. One passenger notices blood drops and avoids stepping in it, while another witness on the phone with 911 tells them a man just stabbed a woman for no reason and she needs help. 
 
Moments after allegedly stabbing Iryna, Brown is captured on video non-chalantly walking the platform of the train station. On the train, Brown was wearing a hoodie, now he is wearing a black t-shirt, with the now bloody hoody, wrapped around his hands.
 
In reaction to the shocking and violent death of Iryna Zarutska, North Carolina Governor Josh Stein just signed "Iryna's Law" into effect increasing checks on criminals getting out on bail and prohibits cashless bail for some violent crimes and most repeat offender.
 
A Grand jury indicted Brown for murder of Iryna formally charging him with first-degree murder. Brown is being held without bond in the County jail, but an order was filed for him to be committed to Central Regional Hospital. Allegedly he has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and also has a lengthy rap sheet of criminal behavior.

New Wheelchair for Paraplegic Man Robbed Twice While Standing By Helplessly | Crime Alert 6AM 10.08.25

Former Wall Street money manager Howard Rubin is busted by the feds at his Fairfield, Connecticut, home for a decade-long Manhattan sex-trafficking scheme. With the help of his assistant, Jennifer Powers, “Howie” Rubin is accused of luring women into BDSM sex sessions in exchange for cash, then exceeding their consent and torturing and raping his victims.
 
Rubin is accused of luring victims to BDSM sex sessions, first in luxury Manhattan hotels and later in his $18,000-per-month penthouse apartment, equipped with a soundproof “sex dungeon.” Women were bound on a bed or a cross, beaten, and electrocuted. The pleas of those who weren’t gagged went ignored, and the torture often continued even when a woman fell unconscious. Rubin allegedly paid the women several thousand dollars afterward, including for injuries that required medical attention, like a flipped breast implant. 
 
10 Jane Does are listed as victims in the indictment, but prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York say there are dozens more and are asking the public for tips. Rubin is charged with 2 counts of sex trafficking, 6 counts of transporting women to engage in prostitution, and bank fraud. 
 
Howard Rubin’s name becomes a Wall Street commodity in the 1980s while trading bonds at Salomon Brothers. Rubin is profiled in Michael Lewis’ 1989 book Liar’s Poker for his contributions to the development of a collateralized mortgage obligation market. Rubin goes on to hold senior positions at Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, and Soros Fund Management. 
 
Rubin's successful life doesn't stop him from getting married to fellow financier, Mary Henry. After three children and 36 years of marriage, Henry divorces her husband when he is accused of sexual violence in a civil suit. 
 
Rubin tasked Jennifer Powers, his “personal assistant,” with recruiting victims. Powers is arrested at her home in a Dallas-Fort Worth suburb, accused of running the “day-to-day” operations of Rubin’s sex-trafficking scheme and being paid handsomely. Powers arranged the victims’ travel and coerced them into signing NDAs. This evil empire these two created by victimizing so many is crumbling, and more victims are expected to speak out.

HORRIBLE HOWIE: MONEY MANAGER LURES VICTIMS INTO SOUNDPROOF DUNGEON, COPS

After nearly six decades, authorities in central Minnesota have confirmed the identity of human remains found in the Mississippi River as Roy George Benn, who went missing in 1967.
 
Benn, then 59, was last seen at a café in Sartell early one September morning. He was reportedly carrying a large amount of cash, and his disappearance sparked a long-running investigation with no resolution—until now. On August 10, a fisherman using sonar near Sartell detected what appeared to be a submerged vehicle. Dive teams recovered a heavily deteriorated 1963 Buick Electra, registered to Benn, with human remains and personal items inside.
 
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has confirmed the remains are Benn's. The investigation into how Benn and his vehicle ended up in the river continues.

Minnesota Authorities Identify Remains Found in Submerged Car | Crime Alert 6AM 10.07.25

Best friends Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas ride their bikes in front of Maria’s home.
 
The speed limit is just 25, so the girls feel comfortable riding in the street, but with no warning, a black Jeep Compass barrels down Burnside Avenue at nearly three times the speed limit. The driver never braked, running Maria and Isabella down, and then sped off without stopping to check on the two girls.
 
The hit-and-run driver doesn’t get far. Police find the suspect vehicle, a black 2021 Jeep.Compass, broken down from damage sustained in the crash just blocks away on Lincoln Avenue, with a bike still lodged in the front bumper. The 17-year-old boy behind the wheel is briefly detained and ultimately released to his family with 15 traffic tickets while police continue to investigate the crash.
 
Meanwhile, at the crash site, witnesses call 911 and rush to the girls’ aid; one is declared dead on the scene, while the other passes away minutes later at a hospital. 
 
The day after teens Maria and Isabella are killed in a hit-and-run, officers arrest the 17-year-old driver, now charged as a minor with 2 counts of first-degree murder.
 
Union County prosecutors keep the driver’s identity private; however, traffic summons records reveal his name: Vincent P. Battiloro.
 
Battiloro is familiar with law enforcement, his father being an officer with Chatham PD, and his uncle, Chief of Westfield PD. The teen was also under investigation for harassing and stalking his classmate and ex-girlfriend Maria Niotis.
