Jesus Take The Wheel: This Incestuous Love Story Took A Left Turn Into Triple Murder, Infanticide And Suicide

CCBI/Splash Man Kills Wife Who Was His Biological Daughter, Their Son And Her Adoptive Father Before Shooting Himself Real life is way stranger than fiction, particularly in the case of Steven Walter Pladl , who made headlines just a month ago following his arrest, along with biological daughter Katie Rose Pladl, on incest charges. The Pladls are both dead now, along with Katie’s adoptive father, 56-year-old Anthony Fusco, and the former couple’s seven-month-old son Bennett Pladl, according to NY Post reports . Steven Pladl is suspected of killing all three before turning the gun on himself ccording to news station WTVR reports. Authorities were alerted about Steven Pladl’s murder spree after his mother called 911 asking police to check Pladl’s Knightdale, NC, home. “Oh God, he told me to call the police and I shouldn’t go over there,” Steven’s mother told the dispatcher. “He killed his baby and he’s (baby) in the house,” the caller said. “His wife broke up with him over the phone yesterday…” the caller continued. “I can’t even believe this is happening.” Police performed a welfare check and discovered the body of Bennett Pladl around 9 a.m. according to Knightdale Chief of Police Lawrence Capps. Authorities believe Steven traveled to New Milford, Conn. after killing his son and allegedly shot his 20-year-old daughter Katie and her adoptive father, to death. They were found dead Thursday morning around 8:40 a.m. inside a truck with the window shot out at an intersection on Route 7, news station WTIC reported. . Police were searching for suspect Steven Pladl’s vehicle, a Honda minivan, when they found it, with him dead inside, several miles away in Dover, New York. The Pladls were set to appear in court April 23. Steven and his ex-wife Alyssa gave Katie up for adoption in 1998, when Alyssa was just 17. They reunited with Katie in 2016 after she found them on social media and Authorities said the father and daughter, who allegedly planned to wed, were living as a couple in North Carolina. They were arrested after officials were notified about a possible love child. Steven and his ex-wife gave Katie up for adoption in 1998. The biological parents reportedly reunited with their long-lost daughter in 2016 after she tracked them down on social media, living in the West End of Henrico County, Virginia. Alyssa says Katie moved in with them and called them mom and dad. She also says she had no idea about the sexual relationship between Steven and Katie until she read one of her other daughter’s journals where she found drawings of a pregnant Katie. She also said her daughter had written that Steven was making her call Katie her step-mom. “There are no words to describe the sense of betrayal and disgust I’m feeling,” she told DailyMailTV in February. “I waited 18 long years to have a relationship with my daughter – and now he’s completely destroyed it.” Alyssa took out protective orders against Steven, so he could not go near her or their two younger daughters. She said she believed Steven brainwashed and manipulated Katie. The couple reportedly wed in July 2017 and Katie gave birth to Bennett in September 2017, but after both were arrested in January part of the bond conditions were that they no longer have contact. Katie moved back in with her family in New York and Steven Pladl’s mother stepped in to help with Bennett. A lawyer for Steven Pladl said he met with him just a month ago and had no indication he might become homicidal. SMH. Terrible tragedy on so many levels. Prayers up to the many people grieving after this horrible chain of events.

‘Scandal’ Recap: Olivia Pope Blows The Lid Off B613

Source: Bob D’Amico / Getty There are only two episodes of Scandal left. EEEEEEK! All the creative minds over at Shondaland are working overtime to work our nerves! We start with Mellie facing her interrogation about whether she ordered Cyrus Beene’s “assassination” and Olivia is right by her side. Olivia tells her that the best thing she can do is tell the truth because it’s her armor. You remember that revelation she made during her time working with Annalise Keating, right? Now we’re at Mellie’s deposition and Olivia is by her side and then they get hit with the bombshell. They have footage of Mellie and Olivia discussing how to “handle” President Rashad. Basically, the story is that Cyrus “found out” about Rashad’s assassination, disapproved, and Mellie’s solution was to kill Cyrus too. Mencken demands to know what Mellie has to say about that and she pleads the 5th. Then Olivia Pope gets hit with a subpoena. via GIPHY Now Olivia, Marcus, Mellie, Rosen, and Fitz are trying to figure out what to do. Olivia points out that they are definitely backed into a corner and there’s no real solution at the moment. Meanwhile, Mencken is doing the devil’s work, but there seems to be an oz of sense left. He makes it clear to Cyrus that he doesn’t trust Jake. Olivia comes home to find Jake in her living room. He hands her a vile of sand. It’s a “piece of their sun” from when they were frolicking on the beach in Tanzania, all happy and in love. Olivia denies his gift, but let’s cut to the chase. Jake wants Olivia to say that she killed Rashad at Mellie’s request. If she does so then she gets pardoned. Olivia tries to convince him not to do this and he tells her what we’ve long known, “If you starve a dog long enough, it will tear you to pieces.” No lies were detected. via GIPHY The gladiators plus Fitz, Mellie, and Rosen meet again, and it’s clear that they don’t know what to do for the first time ever. They can’t use Cyrus shady past against him because his crimes— including rigging Fitz’s election—would still blowback on all of them, especially Mallie. Now we’re at Olivia’s hearing and Mencken cuts to the chase. He asks her if she assassinated Rashad for Mellie and Olivia goes ovaries to the wall. She admits that she killed Rashad, but not at Mellie’s order. It was all about B613, which is run by Jake Ballard. Do you realize what just happened? Olivia blew the whistle on B613. She spills all the tea about the deep state intelligence agency that controls the White House. Everyone in the interrogation room and Jake, who was spying from B613’s hideout, as usual, was shocked. They looked like: via GIPHY Even the people on Olivia’s side want the know wtf! Olivia feels like it’s the only way they can win, but just when she gets a one up, Jake gets the best of her. He made sure to wipe all the evidence clean so that Mencken’s investigators turn up nothing.Jake then tells Mencken that he needs to make Olivia Pope’s testimony disappear and that the gut feeling he has in his stomach that something isn’t right is right, but he should just walk away if he knows what’s good for him. Mencken decides to do as he is told and buries Olivia’s testimony, which means the gladiators are back at square one. Mellie is freaking out because this still falls back on her. Olivia is convinced that Mellie has to tell the truth. They all do. Olivia sums it up well when she says that they are the villains of this story. They’ve all done something shady and the lid is about to come off. When it blows, Olivia can’t protect their legacies so it’s time for them to stand before the world, admit their sins and hope that the next generation of leaders decides to be better than they were. Everyone, including the gladiators, thinks Liv is nuts for this and make another move. They want to convince Mencken to do the right thing. Quinn visits Sally Langston to tell her about B613, but Sally Langston won’t bite without proof (there is no proof because B613 is obviously that good). Obviously, Sally’s curiosity is going to get the best of her because that’s who she is. Meanwhile, Papa Pope is playing with bones, doing his paleontologist thing and Jake strolls in to apologize for dragging Olivia into this. Rowan then reads Jake for filth. He tells him that if he were really at the top then he wouldn’t be there seeking validation from Papa Bear. Rowan then says that he is the definition of power and that Jake and Olivia were foolish to think they could take command. Jake pulls out a gun and points it at him but doesn’t shoot because Rowan is right. He still owns him. Rowan tells Jake that he will be there for him when he falls and Jake storms out. Finally, Abby, Quinn and Huck are confident that Olivia is the old Liv again because she’s willing to go down to make things right. That’s when they decide that they will be witnesses to testify about the existence of B613. Olivia doesn’t want them to do this because she wants to protect them from the consequences, but they declare that they want to be by her side as she drives over that cliff. Next Olivia tells Mellie that she’ll lie and say that Mellie had no knowledge of B613 if that’s what she wants, but Mellie is down to ride with her too. #TeamMellivia for the win! Sally Langston for the win too! She took the bait like we knew she would! via GIPHY The episode concludes with Miss Langston giving one of her epic commentaries about the courage of some brave individuals who have provided proof that the country has been run by a spy organization for the last 34 years. She makes it clear that “these are the traitors who have tried to take down Air Force 1 and drag down Mellie Grant.” She also drops Mencken’s name as a co-conspirator as she encourages her batshit viewers to take back their country. Jake and Cyrus look at each other like: via GIPHY There’s only one episode left. See you next week.

Dancing with the Stars Athletes Season: Cast Revealed!

It seems like an athlete wins nearly every season of Dancing with the Stars, doesn't it? Looking ahead to Season 26, however, we can say with absolute certainty: An athlete WILL win Dancing with the Stars. This is because the ABC competition will air a special four-week event in which only current and former athletes compete. Pretty cool concept, right? With the exception of the inclusion of a certain disgraced figure skater who almost definitely played a role in assaulting her main rival at the Olympics back in the 1990s. Who are we talking about? Who are the players set to take Dancing with the Stars field next season? Scroll down. Find out! 1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar The NBA’s all-time leading scorer will be paid with Lindsay Arnold as he attempts to dunk all over the competition. 2. Johnny Damon Teamed with Emma Slater, the speedy ex-centerfielder will hope to run (and dance!) circles around all his ballroom foes. 3. Tonya Harding Tonya Harding is going from the ice to the dance floor… and all other athletes would be well served to don knee braces all season long. 4. Adam Rippon Adam Rippon will partner with Jenna Johnson as one of the only ice skater on Season 26 who did NOT try to take out a rival via physical assault. 5. Josh Norman The NFL cornerback will have Sharna Burgess by his side when he tries to intercept the chances of anyone else to win this season. 6. Mirai Nagasu We know Mirai Nagasu can do a triple lutz. But will she and Allen Bersten twirl their way to the Mirrorball Trophy? View Slideshow

Jamie Lynn Spears Welcomes Baby Girl!

Back in December, fans rejoiced at the news that Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant with her second child . Now, she’s announced even more good news. And we don’t just mean her sister Britney Spears’ new GLAAD Award — though she did give her big sis a shout-out over it. Jamie Lynn Spears has welcomed the birth of her baby girl! Speaking to People , Jamie Lynn Spears spoke of her second daughter, Ivey Joan Watson. “We are beyond excited to welcome this beautiful baby girl to our family!” This newborn baby is the second daughter that Jamie Lynn has had with her husband, Jamie Watson. “Her middle name, Joan, is to honor my Aunt Sandra, who passed away 10 years ago from ovarian cancer.” That’s so sad. And so sweet. “She was the most graceful woman I’ve ever known.” It’s always good to have an inspirational namesake. On Instagram, Jamie Lynn linked to the People article, writing: “Baby Ivey Joan Watson is here!” Ivy is such a beautiful name, and she’s giving it a unique twist to differentiate it from the type of plant by adding that “E.” Also, despite her explanation for the middle name, it’s worth noting that Joan Watson is the name of Lucy Liu’s iconic character on the CBS series, Elementary. When the news broke, some fans immediately began tweeting that perhaps this is not a coincidence. The People article also includes the exact details. Ivey Joan was born on Wednesday, April 11, at 10:02 a.m. It’s kind of rare to have such specific numbers from the initial announcement. (That’ll be helpful for a fan if they’re into astrology and want to do a horoscope for a baby they’ll never meet) This sweet baby girl was born in Covington, Louisiana, weighing 7 lbs., 8 oz. That’s above average but not especially large for a newborn. She measured 19½ inches in length at birth, if the body lengths of newborns born to former Nickelodeon stars who were once the sisters of celebrities are a thing that interest you. But, as we mentioned, this was not even the only highlight this week for the extended Spears family. Though Britney is known for not always attending events to which she has been invited, she arrived at the 2018 GLAAD Media Awards. And she brought her unnecessarily attractive boyfriend, Sam Asghari, as her date. In addition to receiving the 2018 GLAAD Vanguard Award for her role in accelerating acceptance for the LGBTQ community, Britney also “caused” a bit of a disruption. She didn’t actually do anything other than accept the award. But other attendees were so excited to see her that there was reportedly a bit of a commotion that slowed down the presentation of awards. Hey, who wouldn’t be thrilled to bask in Britney’s presence? Jamie Lynn already has a daughter named Maddie. Just two months ago, Jamie Lynn was celebrating the anniversary of her daughter’s miraculous recovery from a frighteningly close brush with death. Maddie is incredibly resilient and pulled through, making an impressive recovery and even returning to school within days. We’re sure that, having reflected on nearly losing her daughter , Jamie Lynn will pull out all of the stops to make sure that nothing like that can happen to Ivey Joan. Just as she’s gone above and beyond to ensure that Maddie remains safe. Congratulations to the Watson family on their newest addition!

Catelynn Lowell SLAMMED for Going Back to Rehab: Does She Deserve the Hate?

So something funny happened after the season finale of Teen Mom OG aired this week … Believe it or not, against all odds, Catelynn Lowell became the most hated cast member on the whole entire show. Or, OK, maybe not the most hated, but if you follow online conversations about Teen Mom, you'll see that Cate has been getting a whole, whole lot of backlash for what happened during this week's show. Does she deserve the criticism for returning to rehab shortly after checking out? Let's investigate! 1. Treatment As we saw this season, Catelynn checked into rehab back in November after she began feeling suicidal. She had a miscarriage and it was very hard for her to handle, so she flew out to Arizona for approximately six weeks of treatment. 2. Doing Well? We didn’t see any actual treatment, but we did see Tyler and Nova visit her, along with other family members. As time went on, she seemed happier and happier, and everyone had high hopes that she was doing well there. 3. Not So Fast But then she came home during the season finale. And we quickly saw that she wasn’t doing as well as it seemed. 4. Sad, Sad, Sad She appeared to be disinterested in everything, which, you know, depression. But this time around, fans of the show weren’t as forgiving with her behavior. 5. Poor Everyone We saw her snap at Nova as she was putting her down for a nap, and we saw Tyler bite his tongue about it — he obviously wasn’t comfortable with what was happening. 6. Exhausted Then when they went to go check out the renovations on the house they’d bought, she sat in the corner while Tyler did business. He bit his tongue again when she explained that she was exhausted, because he watched her sleep all night as he continued to deal with insomnia. View Slideshow
