Okay, this case involving a woman out of Indiana and Lindsey Buckingham was not the headline I expected to see.

54-year-old Michelle Dick was taken into custody Saturday night in Fort Wayne, but this actually started in Santa Monica. Back in late March, she allegedly approached Buckingham, threw some kind of substance on him, and damaged his vehicle before taking off. That incident is what set everything in motion and led to charges…this time.

But apparently, this had been going on for years, with Michelle Dick making repeated attempts to track him down, showing up near places connected to him, and making calls to authorities using his name. A restraining order was granted in 2024, but the contact kept going after that.

She is currently being held in the Allen County Jail in Indiana and is awaiting extradition back to California, where the case will move forward.

Today would’ve been Selena’s 55th birthday. Back in 1995, her career was on a meteoric rise. That momentum came to a stop on March 31st at a Days Inn in Corpus Christi, where she had gone to meet with Yolanda Saldívar, the president of her fan club who had gradually worked her way into handling business matters behind the scenes.

First responders rushed Selena to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital, where efforts were made to save her. She was pronounced at 1:05 p.m. She was 23 years old.

The whole reason behind the meeting that day was because funds had been missing from Selena’s business accounts and Yolanda was the suspect. Saldívar had spent years building trust, first through the fan club and then within Selena’s family and business circle, before being accused of taking money from her accounts. And in the end, it turned out she was right. Saldívar was taken into custody later that same day after a standoff with police and was later convicted for Selena Quintanilla-Pérez’s death.

Saldívar became eligible for parole in 2025, but a panel ultimately denied her release, meaning she remains in custody at a prison in Gatesville to serve out her life.

In the years since, Selena’s life and career have been revisited through films and documentaries, including the 1997 film Selena, where she was portrayed by Jennifer Lopez, along with more recent projects like Selena and Yolanda: The Secrets Between Them, which presents the story from Saldívar’s perspective and has brought renewed attention back to the case.

I came across a story out of Omaha that reminds me so much of something that happened right here in Ohio a couple years back.

It began Tuesday morning, just after 9 a.m., when officers were called to a Walmart on South 72nd Street for what they described as a “nature unknown” situation. Inside, Cyler Hillman, 3, and his caretaker were shopping when an unknown woman approached them with a knife she had taken from the store and started directing them toward the exit.

Within moments, they were being moved outside into the parking lot, with the child still in the cart. And once they were outside, the situation escalated.

What happened next was captured on officers’ body cam. And within minutes, the child was taken to the hospital, while the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Just yesterday, Cyler’s parents, Sarah and Casey Hillman, shared an update on his recovery. They said he’s doing well and that he seems to be handling it better than anyone else. Cyler was able to leave the hospital that same day.

It’s a reminder that parents and caretakers have to keep their head on a swivel, even in the places you’re used to going without a second thought. I’ll drop the Ohio case in the comments if you missed it.
