Court records, along with the personal recollections of Jackson's children, reveal that in May of that year Jackson committed an act of molestation against his daughters. The girls, ages 11 and 9, had two friends over at their home for a sleepover when the abuse occurred. In the charging document, a prosecutor wrote investigators had identified 11 other potential victims but charges could not be filed on their behalf due to the statute of limitations. KSL's COLD podcast approached Jackson in April of 2023 to interview him about his work on the July 4, 1975 cold case disappearance of Nancy Perry Baird. Jackson was working as a reserve officer for the East Layton Police Department at the time Baird was last seen. His first wife had also been a childhood friend of Baird's. The disappearance of Nancy Baird had long been attributed to serial killer Theodore "Ted" Bundy. However, COLD uncovered evidence showing Bundy was 100 miles from East Layton on the day Baird vanished. » https://youtu.be/9Gkjv0yFAZ8 (VIDEO) » https://www.ksl.com/article/51633712/former-east-layton-police-officer-pleads-no-contest-to-child-sex-abuse-charges   @ENDHUMANTRAFFICKING

(2/7) 08 Oct 2026 US 🇺🇸 ▫️Police say camera tracking led detectives from Yuba City toward Bakersfield YUBA CITY, CA — A missing 17-year-old from Yuba City was rescued from a burning vehicle after a police chase ended with the driver going off a cliff in Kern County. Police said the teen was reported missing Sept. 27 from a home on White Rock Drive and had been considered at risk because of her age, a medical condition and the circumstances around her disappearance. Investigators later connected her to a 26-year-old Texas man, Cameron Childers, who had recently been in Yuba City. Police said the search turned urgent as detectives used camera technology to track the vehicle south into the Bakersfield area. The pursuit ended only after a crash in the Kern River Canyon near Lake Isabella and both people inside had to be pulled to safety. The Yuba City Police Department said detectives learned the teen had been communicating with Childers before the pair disappeared together. What had started as a missing-person investigation quickly became a dangerous rescue scene. By the time the vehicle went over the edge, officers were dealing with both the crash and the immediate threat of fire. After the rescue, Yuba City detectives arrested Childers on suspicion of several crimes, including child abduction, kidnapping, rape and contacting a child with intent to commit a specified offense. Police said he was later booked into the Kern County Jail. He also faces charges tied to the chase itself, according to authorities. For the girl’s family and for investigators, the key fact was that she was found alive. » https://youtu.be/KfkWb0V8i_Y (VIDEO) » https://carleplacecrossroadspath.net/missing-yuba-city-teen-rescued-kern-county-chase/ ▫️Seven face prostitution-related charges in Washington County https://youtu.be/FpE99TBDO4E (VIDEO) ▫️Six arrested in human trafficking probe; second suspect sought One suspect has been identified and another remains at large following a multi-agency human trafficking investigation that resulted in six arrests, according to the Johnson County District Attorney’s Office.
