| Brothers Confront Estranged Dad About Double Disappearance Of Their Mom, Stepsister - Oxygen Posted: 22 Feb 2020 05:00 PM PST  For the past three decades, law enforcement in Berkeley County, South Carolina, has been searching for answers in the cold case disappearances of Korrina Malinoski and her 11-year-old daughter, Annette Sagers. Malinoski vanished the evening of Nov. 21, 1987 after a reported fight with her husband, Steven Malinoski, at their home on the Mount Holly Plantation, where Steven worked as a caretaker. Steven told law enforcement Korrina left around 11:30 p.m. in her car, and that was the last time he ever saw her. Sagers, Steven's stepdaughter, went missing less than a year later while waiting for the bus on her way to school. Steven claimed that Sagers left a note at the bus stop, reading: "Dad, Mom came back. I have to go with her. Give the boys lots of kisses and hugs and also you to. Love, Annette." Handwriting analysis was done, which confirmed the note had been written by Sagers. It is unknown, however, if it was penned under duress. Following Sagers' vanishing, Steven moved to Florida with the two sons he had with Korrina, Thomas and James, and abandoned them. Thomas and James Fairbanks were ultimately adopted, and they later reconnected with their biological family through a genealogy website. The brothers have since started their own search for Korrina and Sagers, hoping to solve the mystery of their disappearances. With their help, "Up and Vanished" host Payne Lindsey and his team tracked down Steven, who is considered a person of interest by law enforcement. Both Thomas and James believe Steven knows more about their mother and stepsister's disappearances than he has let on, and James theorized they could have been killed in "a domestic dispute that turned out wrong." Former Berkeley County Sheriff's Office chief Randy Herod also believes Steven "knows more than he's telling." "He was the one that we were looking at the hardest," Herod told Lindsey. "We put him on a state polygraph, the state police talked with him, we talked with him … He didn't seem very upset, not much emotion … [the polygraph test] was inconclusive." For the first time since they were abandoned 28 years ago, the brothers came face-to-face with Steven to ask him about their missing loved ones. When questioned if any of his confrontations with Korrina ever got physical, Steven said, "My memory doesn't serve me that well." "I had nothing to do with it. I had nothing to do with Korrina's disappearance nor did I have anything to do with Annette's disappearance … If they got hurt in any way, fashion or form, I had nothing do with it whatsoever," he said. "You know, I went through with South Carolina's law enforcement," Steven added. "I went through polygraph tests. And then, they cleared me of any wrongdoing." It is still unknown what happened to Korrina and Sagers, and their disappearances are currently being investigated by the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office cold case team. In August 2019, Steven was arrested in St. Petersburg, Florida, and charged with a domestic child abuse felony unrelated to the Korrina and Sagers' cases. He is currently behind bars awaiting trial on a $150,000 bond, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. If you have any information about Korrina and Sagers, contact the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office at coldcases@berkeleycountysc.gov or call 843-719-4668.

| JCF numbers show senior officers take polygraph tests - Jamaica Observer Posted: 20 Feb 2020 09:19 PM PST  FIGURES from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) have revealed that several members of its senior ranks have been subjected to polygraph testing in the past two years, with the vast majority passing comfortably. During a recent sit-down with editors and reporters of the Jamaica Observer, United States (US) Ambassador to Jamaica Donald Tapia called for more polygraph testing of senior JCF officers as he argued that the tests administered to new recruits and rank-and-file members were not enough to ensure transformation of the 152-year-old force. "...Today to become a JCF officer (member) you have to take a polygraph test. I think it was last year it was 150 people who applied to become a JCF [member], only like 75 of them actually passed the polygraph test to move on. "So that 75, or whatever the number is, those are all clean officers. But, my point to them is okay, so they're clean [but], what about this section up here? They've been here for five years. They didn't take a polygraph test," said Tapia in reference to the officer level of the JCF. But Observer checks have shown that the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) administered polygraph tests to 13 JCF officers between the ranks of assistant superintendent of police (ASP) and assistant commissioner of police (ACP) for the purposes of promotion and sensitive postings in 2018. There were no concerns raised by the test results from any of the officers. Last year 32 JCF officers, from ASP to ACP, were subject to polygraph testing by MOCA, with concerns raised by the responses of six of them, but it was underscored that this did not mean the officers failed the test. "Once MOCA saw concerns it means that additional investigation would be done, but the officers would not be considered to have failed," a senior security source told the Observer. "It could be that the officer admitted to seeing some questionable action when they were a young constable and did nothing, but this would raise a concern for MOCA and would trigger a red flag that would lead to further investigations," added the source. According to the security official, the JCF regularly partners with US law enforcement agencies, which provide funding and specialised training for local police officers who are being moved into sensitive areas. "Many of the specialised training courses require special vetting, which includes polygraph examinations," said the security source. He noted that since the JCF established its Polygraph Unit in December 2017, just over 1,360 tests have been done up to end of last year with the majority being individuals seeking to join the force. In 2018, 473 polygraph tests were conducted by the unit, inclusive of recruits and serving members. The data shows that just under 180 serving members of the JCF were tested in 2018, inclusive of rank-and-file members and officers. These cops were slated to be moved to sensitive areas, such as the Lottery Scamming Task Force, the intelligence or narcotics divisions. Some were up for promotion while others had been selected to go on specialised courses offered by the US and other international partners. There were no failures from those who were tested. However, of the 294 individuals who applied to join the JCF in 2018, 248 passed the polygraph test, while 46 failed. Last year a total of 509 polygraph tests were conducted for the JCF, inclusive of recruits and serving members. Of this number, 192 were rank and file as well as gazetted members. These individuals were tested for transfer, promotion, periodic screening, specialised courses such as the Accelerated Promotion Programme and the Instructors' Development Course. The remaining 317 were recruits, of which just over 260 passed the test while 54 failed.

| Richland man allegedly raped girl several times a week for three years - YakTriNews KAPP-KVEW Posted: 21 Feb 2020 05:13 PM PST  RICHLAND, Wash. — A Richland man is accused of raping a young girl three to six days a week for several years, according to court documents. The girl told police Nicholas Miller, 39, started abusing her when she was in the 3rd grade and continued until she was in the 6th grade. She said the crimes occurred at various locations in Richland. Officers were notified of the allegations on Feb. 17, when the girl told a relative about the alleged abuse. The girl said Miller would have her sit on his lap and would pull down her pants to assault her. Miller raped the girl "3-6 days a week between 3rd and 6th grade," documents said. On Thursday, police arrested Miller and interviewed him. The suspect denied raping the girl during the interview. Miller agreed to take a polygraph test and the results showed he was being deceptive when asked about the allegations, documents said. Records show Miller was charged in Missouri multiple sex offenses, including forcible rape and statutory rape. He was charged as a juvenile in Minnesota with criminal sex conduct with a victim under 13 Miller was booked at the Benton County Jail on an investigative hold for first-degree rape of a child. Prosecutors have 72 hours to charge him with a crime before he's released. His bail has been set at $200,000. Commentscomments  |
