Written by Police are searching for the husband of a woman found stabbed to death in a bathtub still wearing her wedding dress on Sunday. Arnoldo Jimenez, 30, and Estrella Carrera, 26, were married on Friday, two days later police found her body in her Chicago apartment. Jimenez has not been seen since and police issued an arrest warrant on Tuesday. Carrera, a mother of two, was found around 3:30pm on Sunday in the 7800 block of South Rutherford Avenue, in the Burbank area of Chicago, according to police. Carrera’s body was discovered after her sister became alarmed when she could not contact her and asked police to conduct a well-being check at the home, officials said. 
When police called at her third-floor home, she was found with multiple stab wounds in an empty bathtub. There were no signs of forced entry into Carrera’s apartment, according to investigators. Following their City Hall wedding ceremony, the newlyweds celebrated with friends and family renting a limo and then going on to a nightclub. The pair were last seen around 4am on Saturday morning, said officials. Jiminez was last known to be driving a black, four-door 2006 Maserati with Illinois license plate L641441. Police declared the death a homicide on Monday after autopsy results confirmed she died from stab wounds. She was due to pick up her two children – her nine-year-old daughter and two-year-old son- from a family member on Saturday afternoon but did not show up, according to the Chicago Tribune. Her cousin Sandy Lopez said Jimenez was the father of her youngest child and it was a quick wedding. They had been in an on-off relationship for three years. A spokeswoman for the Cook County Clerk’s office said that Estrella did not yet have a marriage certificate on file but had applied for a marriage license on May 2. Lopez said Estrella called her on Friday to invite her to a party but didn’t mention that it was a wedding party. 
She told the Chicago Tribune: ‘She didn’t tell anybody. She didn’t want to tell me she had gotten married, but she sounded happy.’ She said she personally did not approve of the marriage or the relationship but was not speaking for the rest of her family. ‘He’s just a person who had problems,’ she said. ‘She was a beautiful mother, person, sister. Relatives say Carrera was a Spanish language translator for a welfare agency. She just moved to the area about two months ago, neighbors told CW33. Neighbor Jason Tokarczyk, 24, told the Chicago Tribune she was quiet and generally kept to herself. He said he frequently saw her with her son but was surprised to hear she had married. ‘I’ve never seen her with a dude…I figured she was a single mom,’ said Mr Tokarczyk. ‘She was quiet as a mouse. ‘I was shocked out of my mind to hear something had happened to her.’ Another neighbor said police were searching all around the area in dumpsters and garbage cans for a weapon but came up with nothing. Another local resident described the 26-year-old as ‘pleasant’ but said she was relatively unknown. Burbank police were releasing few details but said the death was being investigated by the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force. Police are calling it an isolated incident stemming from a domestic situation, but did not say whether anyone was in custody as of Monday.

Woman stabs Father of her kids to death because of cheap Mothers day gift
A woman stabbed the father of her children several times on Sunday evening when he gave her a cheap mother’s day present that she did not like, according to police. Paige Parkerson, 20, from Jefferson County, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of her live-in boyfriend Clifton JR Barkin, 22. Police were called to the house by his mother Evetta Wright, shortly after she got a phone call from Parkerson allegedly confessing to the crime. 
She told the Houston Chronicle: ‘Paige told me she killed JR, that he was dead.’ Mrs Wright had just dropped her son off at the house at 11.30pm on Sunday and that was after taking him to Wal-Mart to buy flowers and a Mother’s Day card for Paige. Barkin, 22, was stabbed several times and died just after midnight in the backyard of his yellow rental house. Mrs Wright said she believes Parkerson expected a more expensive gift, such as jewelry. The couple’s two sons were asleep at home during the incident. Both are now with relatives. She is being held at Jefferson County Jail on $75,000 bond.

A mother-of-three has been arrested after allegedly having sex with her daughter’s 16-year-old boyfriend and giving birth to his son.

The teenager lives in the same apartment complex as Gonzalez. Santa Ana police Cpl.

If convicted, Gonzalez could be sentenced to nearly eight years in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender. She’s in jail pending arraignment Friday with bail set at $20,000.
18 year old sets her cheating ex-boyfriends bed on fire while he was sleeping
An 18-year-old girl has been charged with attempted murder after she sent her ex-boyfriend’s bed on fire while he was sleeping. Jacqueline Rivera is alleged to have poured gasoline on the bed after breaking into the home. Prosecutors said she had been told her ex had cheated on her and had carried out the revenge attack. Her ex-boyfriend woke up at his home in Redwood City, California, to find his bed on fire. He screamed for his father who managed to put the flames out with a garden hose. The boyfriend, who has not been named, suffered minor burns on his arms and hands. Police said Rivera, who had fled from the scene, later turned up at the ex-boyfriend’s home to talk ‘about their relationship’. 
According to prosecutors Rivera and the 21 year old had dated for several months. She later discovered that her boyfriend had cheated on her. Rivera first tried to talk with her ex after knocking on his bedroom window at 2am, but was sent away. She returned an hour later said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe but was again dismissed. Around 5.45am Wagstaffe said the boyfriend woke up to find his bed in flames. The victim later told authorities he did not alert police or fire because he believed Rivera was responsible but didn’t think he could prove it, Wagstaffe said. He also said a plastic bottle left near the bed smelled of gasoline, Wagstaffe said. Two weeks after the bed burning incident he received a text message from a friend of Rivera who said she was responsible. The friend contacted police and Rivera was arrested at her home. Rivera was charged with attempted murder, arson and residential burglary. She did not enter a plea when appearing in court and bail was set at $500,000. Rivera faces 10 to 15 years in jail if convicted.
