PUEBLO, Colo. (TCN) — A mother will spend the rest of her life behind bars in connection with the death of her 2-year-old child.
The Pueblo County District Attorney’s Office announced April 3 that a jury found Mythia Latka guilty of first-degree murder — child under 12 — position of trust, and she received a sentence of life in prison without possibility of parole. Prosecutors said the jury deliberated for four “long days” before returning the unanimous verdict.
According to an initial release from the Pueblo Police Department, on Jan. 31, 2023, officers responded to a hospital to a report of an unresponsive toddler. Detectives executed a search warrant at Latka’s home and learned that the child died at around 10 p.m. that night. Officials originally arrested Latka on a charge of child abuse causing death.
In a statement, District Attorney Kala Beauvais said, “Any case involving a child victim is emotionally taxing, and the District Attorney’s Office remains committed to seeking justice for all victims. This bit of justice for this young victim is especially meaningful as April is Child Abuse Awareness Month.”

Andalusia and two-time 2A defending state champions Ariton met Friday at LBW Community College’s Crum Foshee Field where the Bulldogs scored early and then held on for a 3-2 victory over the Purple Cats, who came into the game with 24 wins on the season.
Andalusia played small-ball to score all three of their runs in the bottom of the first inning. Things got going for the Bulldogs with a leadoff walk by Riley Cravey. With courtesy runner Neilex Ferrell put on first for Cravey, Asher Bentley put down a sacrifice, moving Ferrell to second, but also reached himself on an error. Both runners advanced on a wild pitch, putting runners at second and third base for Row Thorn who hit a sacrifice to centerfield, scoring Ferrell for a 1-0 lead and moving Bentley to third.
Grover Wells followed with a base hit to left, bringing in Bentley for a 2-0 lead. Another single off the bat of Landen Butler put runners at the corners for Andalusia with one out.
Kielan Davis made the score 3-0, bringing Wells home on a sacrifice fly to centerfield.
Ariton got its leadoff man on to start the second, but a double-play ball hit to Thorn at the shortstop position was perfectly executed to keep the Purple Cats off the board.
Ariton again threatened in the third with runners at first and third, but a line-drive to Wells in centerfielder was hauled in for the third out.
Andalusia’s lead was reduced to 3-1 in the top of the fifth when an Ariton runner scored on a wild pitch. The Purple Cats made it a one-run game, 3-2, in the sixth with a leadoff single that resulted in a run on an error later in the inning.
Cravey earned the victory on the mound for the Bulldogs in a complete-game effort. Over seven innings, Cravey gave up two runs on five hits with two strikeouts.
Landen Butler had two hits for the Bulldogs. Wells and Davis each had one hit with an RBI.
With the win, Andalusia improves to 10-8-1 on the season.
The Bulldogs are scheduled to travel to Charles Henderson High School on Thursday, April 10, with a start time of 6 p.m. On Friday, April 11, Charles Henderson will come to Andalusia with a start time of 7 p.m.

SENECA, Kan. (TCN) — A 66-year-old Oklahoma man is in custody on suspicion of fatally shooting a 57-year-old priest.
On April 3, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) said the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office and Seneca Police responded to a report of shots fired at the Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church. Authorities found Father Arul Carasala suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. He was transported to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Investigators identified Gary Hermesch of Tulsa, Oklahoma, as the primary suspect, and police took him into custody. He was booked into the Nemaha County Jail on a charge of first-degree murder.
According to KSNT-TV, Hermesch had sent entries to local newspaper The Courier-Tribune from January 2021 to March 2020 and shared his opinions on religion and other topics in the Letter to the Editor column.
In one statement, Hermesch allegedly wrote, “Let’s not sweat the small stuff, though, maybe if we just follow Donald Trump’s example we’ll ‘make the Church great again.’ So why are things headed south like a runaway freight train? Simple. The faith is not being taught. Now is that equality and tolerance of other religions, or what?”
Hermesch’s letters reportedly never mentioned Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church or the victim.
In a statement posted onto Facebook, Archbishop Joseph Naumann said, “Fr. Carasala was a devoted and zealous pastor who faithfully served our Archdiocese for over twenty years, including as dean of the Nemaha-Marshall region. His love for Christ and His Church was evident in how he ministered to his people with great generosity and care. His parishioners, friends, and brother priests will deeply miss him.”

Straughn fell behind early and staged a late rally but could not overcome several errors and came up short to New Brockton, 12-6, in varsity baseball action on Friday, April 4.
The Tigers slipped to 8-7 overall and 4-2 in 4A Area 4 with playoff implications on the line this week in an area series with Opp. The Gamecocks improved to 11-9 and also 4-2 in area play.
Clark Gay began the game on the mound and struck out Jacob Fisher in the top of the first, but a wild pitch allowed Fisher to reach first. Fisher then stole second and third before walks to Judd Thomas and Hayden Pope loaded the bases with two outs. William Adkison hit a grand slam and gave New Brockton a 4-0 lead. Matt Ashberry singled with two outs in the bottom half, but Straughn trailed 4-0 after one inning.
Payton Mclaughlin reached on an error in the second and came around to score on another defensive miscue. James Downing singled and set up runners at the corners, but Gay worked out of the jam. The score stayed 5-0 after two innings.
Gay stranded a two-out base runner in the third as the Gamecocks hung a zero on the scoreboard. The Tigers were unable to capitalize and continued to trail 5-0 after three innings.
New Brockton loaded the bases in the top of the fourth on consecutive singles from Mclaughlin and Gavin Hand as Fisher reached on an error. After a force play at home, Thomas had a sacrifice fly and brought home Hand. Pope delivered an RBI single to plate Fisher. Crumper was hit by a pitch before Justin Rider took over on the mound. Landin Norris connected for an RBI single and capped the scoring in the frame.
Ashberry was hit by a pitch with one out in the bottom of the inning. Eli Grissett then knocked a single and put runners at first and second. Fisher battled back and held Straughn in check with two fly outs as the score stayed 9-0 after four innings.
Rider struck out two batters in the visiting fifth as neither side posted a run in the frame and kept the score 9-0 after five innings.
The Gamecocks mounted a two-out rally in the sixth on a single by Crumpler and an error that allowed Norris to reach. Mclaughlin kept the inning alive after another defensive miscue pushed the lead to 11-0.
Needing two runs to stay alive, J.T. Moreno opened the bottom of the frame with a double. Saxby Radford then drove home Moreno with an RBI single and put the Tigers on the scoreboard. Radford stole second and moved to third on a groundout before Grissett cashed in the runner and took the score to 11-2 after six innings.
Fisher led off the top of the seventh with a single and scored the final New Brockton run on an RBI single by Thomas.
Straughn refused to go quietly in the home half and made things interesting. Ace Carter and Mack McIntyre walked with one out before Moreno cut the deficit to 12-3 with an RBI single and got Carter home. Radford doubled home McIntyre, and Grissett took a bases-loaded walk that brought in Moreno. Tate Watson was hit by a pitch as Radford scored the final run.
Moreno was 2-for-2 with two runs scored and an RBI. Grissett finished 2-for-3 with two RBIs, while Radford was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs.
Gay allowed nine runs (four earned) on five hits with four strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings. Rider gave up three unearned runs on four hits and struck out three over the final 3 1/3 innings.
Straughn begins its final area series on Tuesday, April 8, at 5 p.m. against Opp. The two teams will close the series on Thursday, April 10, at 4:30 p.m. in Opp.
People rush to throw our country under the bus the second someone shakes the precious, coddled economic snow globe they live in.
QUOTH THE RAVEN Writes on Substack
Maybe President Trump’s tariffs will cause a prolonged trade war and a Great Depression in the United States the likes of which we’ve never seen before, sending the nation into a spiral of chaos and hell on earth.
But walking around outside today, three days after the tariffs were announced and barely a day after many of the minimum tariffs went into effect, life seems oddly normal.
I’m in In New York City this morning, so I took a walk around Central Park. Despite the cool, rainy weather, the park was littered with tourists taking photos, New Yorkers playing with their dogs, couples holding hands, and joggers getting in their workout for the day. Yesterday, as I went on my own run up Park Ave. at lunchtime, I watched junior bankers pour out of J.P. Morgan’s office by Grand Central Station, joking with each other, smiling and happily ordering their lunches.
If we’re in the midst of armageddon, it sure doesn’t seem like it.
So imagine my surprise today when I read that the Wall Street Journal editorial board had declared China’s Xi Jinping as the person emerging as the “winner” from President Trump’s tariffs.
President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs will change the world order in many ways, and one winner is already emerging: Xi Jinping. The Chinese President has had an excellent week.
Putting aside whether you think tariffs are a good idea or not, to me it just seems stunning to declare a “winner” barely a day after the 10% minimum tariff has gone into effect. What if China came to the table tomorrow and wanted to strike some type of deal? I’m not saying this is going to happen, but if it did, it would immediately render such a headline completely erroneous.
I don’t want to argue the merits of whether or not Trump’s tariff policy is going to yield results. I did that all day yesterday and I feel like I understand clearly the argument against his policy and how he arrived at it. We will know at some point in the future just how effective or ineffective they are going to be.
If it turns out to be a horrific idea, I will admit as much and, as I have done many times before in the past, simply state that I got it wrong. My take isn’t consequential. I’m not advising the President on trade. But just hours after these policies have gone into effect seems like an awfully minuscule amount of time to be declaring winners and losers.
Let’s get one thing straight. The vicious pushback on these tariffs is, in my opinion, completely being driven by the move in the stock market. People were marching around waving Jeremy Siegel’s quote from yesterday that the tariffs are the ‘biggest policy mistake in 95 years’ like it was handed down from God himself.
Mind you, this is the economist who, in a sheer panic 8 months ago, called for an emergency 75 basis point rate cut during the yen carry trade sell off…
…then was promptly neutered by analyst and trader Guy Adami on-air that same night, and then immediately issued a mea culpa two days later when the market didn’t crash as he thought it would.
He’s throwing around 75bps rate cuts — which in the balance hangs the homeostasis of the entire $100 trillion global economy — like he’s daytrading a memecoin.
I believe the impetus for his reactionary response is the same now as it was back in August: “the stock market is going down, and I don’t like the way that makes me feel.”
Again, I wrote back in February that this next market crash would break people’s brains because of how erroneously conditioned we’ve been to believe that the stock market should always go up and always be on solid footing, regardless of valuations, geopolitics or current events. But that simply isn’t the reality of things, as we are seeing this week.
If we hadn’t been conditioned to think that everything should be perfect all the time, this correction in the markets wouldn’t be treated as though it’s a guarantee of a coming century of Armageddon, like people are doing. The fact is, anybody who’s ever had a brokerage account knows that when you look at your portfolio and the numbers are red instead of green, it elicits a full-body nervous system response to panic. This is what sets great traders, who can endure volatility and make money on the way down as well as up, apart from unsophisticated traders.
The panic is why people sell at lows, it’s why people overtrade, and it’s why economists and financial news media hosts panic on live television and break down, crying for relief at the first sign of any distress.
And the market driving decisions and commentary is almost irrelevant because this sell off was gonna happen one way or the other. With rates where they are now, it was a mathematical certainty that the economy was going to slow and that the market would eventually have to correct. There’s no mystery as to why Warren Buffett raised his cash pile to $330 billion just two months ago. He did it because the market was, on any historical valuation metric possible, extraordinarily overvalued.
The Shiller price-to-earnings ratio was at its third highest level in recorded history, second only to right before the housing crisis and right before the 2000s tech bubble.
To the layperson, this means that going into this tariff announcement, stocks were almost the most aggressively valued they have ever been in history.
And so President Trump comes along with his tariff strategy and pricks the bubble that was going to burst relatively soon anyway, and people react to the bubble bursting — not the effects of his policy.
Items aren’t missing from store shelves yet, prices haven’t gone through the roof yet, and despite sensationalist headlines about businesses shutting down as a result of these tariff plans, most measured, reasonable business owners haven’t even had time to recalibrate and adjust, as many businesses will do.
For example, Restoration Hardware — whose stock has been decimated over the last few sessions as a result of the tariff news — recently said they are relocating some of their manufacturing to North Carolina. They watched their stock get cut in half due to the market’s reaction, but their CEO still had the clarity to say of Trump’s policies:
“I think we’ve got a very smart administration negotiating at a level we haven’t seen any administration, at least in our lifetimes, negotiate.”
That makes it clear the company has competent, levelheaded management.
Any business owner who preemptively shuts down their business or claims that these tariffs — which are in no way guaranteed to go on for any prolonged duration of time — have caused them to shut down, may have been mismanaging things to begin with or may be reacting to feelings, not facts.
Make no mistake about it: the overwhelming reaction we are seeing in the media over the last 3 days is coming directly from the pullback in the stock market, which is tied directly to the nervous systems of the people writing the headlines and publishing the commentaries.
I got thrashed in the market on Thursday and, especially Friday when gold and silver sold off. I didn’t let that blind me from keeping an open mind about these policies. I’ve been saying since 2022 I thought gold and silver would get smashed during the period before the Fed steps in to save markets the next time. I understand change causes discomfort, and the stock market doesn’t like that. I also understand chaos creates opportunities. I calmly nibbled away at some names I like and trusted that over a longer period of time, we’ll reach a new homeostasis in markets.
And sure, the market has “crashed,” as people have been saying in the media and on television — but in reality the average price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 right now, 25.1x, is still about 40% higher than the historical average of 16.1x.
That’s not the historical low — it’s the historical average.
That means that despite this “Armageddon,” stocks are still really expensive compared to where they have traded throughout the course of history.
The Dow Jones is trading at about 38,000 — where it was almost one year ago to the day. It’s still up 82% over the last 5 years.
Again, store shelves aren’t empty. People aren’t fist fighting at Costco yet. The price of oil has gone down, not up. To me, it looks like the only thing other than the stock market that has changed as a result of Trump’s tariff policy is the amount of screeching from market participants, economists, financial news media commentators, and columnists, all eager to declare the United States as the loser in this new world of trade — simply because looking at their brokerage statement is making them uncomfortable for the day.
Again, this tariff policy may not work, and everyone’s entitled to their opinion.
As for my opinion? These quick, reactionary declarations of failure — when this policy has only been in place for three days — simply seem like people rushing to throw our country under the bus the very second someone picks up and shakes the precious, coddled economic snow globe that they live in.

FARMINGTON, N.M. (TCN) — A 51-year-old woman stands accused of killing her husband, who was found stabbed to death several years ago.
According to the Farmington Police Department, on Nov. 29, 2020, officers responded to a home on South Ivie Avenue and discovered 49-year-old Robert Hoefer with three apparent stab wounds. The reporting party, Heather Fernandez-Hoefer, reportedly provided inconsistent statements to authorities.
Per an affidavit obtained by KRQE-TV, Fernandez-Hoefer allegedly said her husband, Hoefer, stabbed himself while she was in another room. She reportedly told investigators she cleaned up his chest before they went to bed separately, and then Fernandez-Hoefer found him face-down on their bedroom floor.
According to the affidavit, police located evidence of blood on the bed but not the floor. There was reportedly no blood evidence outside the bedroom other than from a washcloth allegedly used to clean the victim’s chest.
KRQE reports that an autopsy revealed Hoefer suffered three stabs wounds that were deep enough to pierce his lungs and cut his coronary artery.
Through digital evidence, investigators reportedly learned that Fernandez-Hoefer and her husband got into an argument over money and Hoefer’s previous relationship. Their neighbor allegedly heard the dispute between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on the night of the victim’s stabbing death.
Police announced April 1 that they arrested and charged Fernandez-Hoefer with second-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
According to KRQE, Fernandez-Hoefer worked as a McCormick Elementary third grade teacher, but the school district confirmed that she is on administrative leave.

Trump: Hold Tight As “Countries From All Over The World” Negotiate On Tariffs
“Don’t Be Weak, Don’t Be A PANICAN”
(ZH) – President Trump on Monday urged Americans not to panic over tariff-driven turmoil in the markets, and said that “Countries from all over the World are talking to us.”
“The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN(A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!” Trump posted Monday morning on Truth Social about 15 minutes before cash open on US exchanges.
Ten minutes later, Trump posted that “Countries from all over the World are talking to us.”
“Spoke to the Japanese Prime Minister this morning. He is sending a top team to negotiate! They have treated the U.S. very poorly on Trade. They don’t take our cars, but we take MILLIONS of theirs. Likewise Agriculture, and many other “things.” It all has to change, but especially with CHINA!!!”
Trump has insisted that tariffs are necessary to rebalance global trade and rebuild domestic manufacturing – singling out China as “the biggest abuser of them all,” and has called on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
In a Friday conversation, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell didn’t give much of an indication on how the fed would react – suggesting only that the tariffs could increase inflation, and that “there’s a lot of waiting and seeing going on, including by us.”
Over the weekend, Trump suggested that the market turmoil was part of the plan – saying “Sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.”

TUCSON, Ariz. (TCN) — A man who is already serving 16 life sentences and held two guards hostage allegedly killed three other inmates last week.
According to a news release from the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry (ADCRR), on Friday, April 4, an “altercation” led to the death of three inmates: Saul Alvarez, Thorne Harnage, and Donald Lashley. Authorities announced that the ADCRR canceled visitations for the rest of the day.
Upon further investigation, officials identified Ricky Wassenaar as the primary suspect and said preliminary reports suggest that he “acted with intent to harm” the victims. The ADCRR did not disclose how the three inmates died.
According to KOLD-TV, Wassenaar is already serving time for his role in a prison standoff. In 2005, he was convicted on 19 charges, including kidnapping, dangerous or deadly assault by prisoner, aggravated assault, sexual assault, and first-degree escape. In 2004, Wassenaar and Steven Coy reportedly abducted two guards, a man and woman, and held them hostage for 15 days at the Arizona State Prison Lewis Complex in Buckeye. One of the guards alleged that she was raped multiple times.
Wassenaar allegedly used a handmade weapon to get a kitchen guard’s uniform from an officer. He then used the uniform to get into a prison watchtower before the standoff ensued, KOLD reports. It was reportedly one of the longest prison hostage situations in the nation.
Before the standoff, Wassenaar was serving a sentence for armed robbery and assault.
The ADCRR said Alvarez was housed at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Tucson since 2004 after being sentenced for first-degree murder out of Maricopa County. Harnage was in custody since 2024 after being sentenced for sexual conduct with a minor, while Lashley was admitted in 2023 for sexual conduct with a minor and molestation of a child.
