Before we get into our main cases today, I wanted to talk about a wild one I just saw out of Chicago. Adam Beckerink, a 47 year old lawyer, has just been charged with the murder of his wife Caitlin Tracy, a 36 year old former tech executive. Her body was actually discovered on October 27, 2024 at the bottom of a stairwell in the couple's luxury high rise in Chicago's South Loop after an apparent fall more than 20 stories. It was such a far fall that her body was described as pulverized. In the days following her death, Adam filed a missing persons report for his wife, claiming he hadn't seen her for a month. But surveillance footage told a different story. Adam was captured with his wife just three days prior. Now, just a little over a year after Caitlyn's death, prosecutors have officially charged Adam Beckerink with first degree murder. Investigators say they uncovered a pattern of escalating domestic abuse that paints a very different picture of their relationship than what Adam initially told police. Court documents show that Kaitlin had filed for a personal protection order in Michigan nearly a year before her death, alleging that Adam had strangled, suffocated and assaulted her multiple times, even slamming her head against a cabinet during one attack. She also said he tried to control and isolate her, cutting off contact with her family and friends. As an aside, if you ever feel like the person you are with is trying to isolate you from your friends and family, please run at the first sign. Sometimes this will look like them throwing a fit when you hang out with your friends or family. Other times they can be more sneaky about it, criticizing friends, telling the victim that they don't think their friends or family like them or or saying a friend is in love with them. Smaller tactics to slowly pull you away without you even fully noticing. The last thing an abuser wants is for their victim to have a strong support system. Also, if a partner ever strangles you, please leave as fast as you are safely able to because the chances of them killing you have just increased by 750%. Adam is currently serving a 93 day jail sentence in Michigan for a no contest plea to the domestic violence and contempt charges. He remains in custody on a fugitive warrant out of Cook county while he awaits extradition and a murder trial in Illinois. Caitlyn's family issued a statement saying they hope that the full truth of her last months will come out so their daughter can finally be laid to rest. We'll watch closely for updates as the case moves forward. And as always, make sure to tune in to our socials at Crimehouse 247 for any new developments. Our first case today is about the tragic disappearance and death of 23 year old Kada Scott, who was kidnapped in Philadelphia on October 4th. Investigators received two bombshell anonymous tips that led to the arrest of 21 year old Keon King and the discovery of Kada's remains on October 18th. Since then, authorities have uncovered new, chilling clues about how Kada and King may have known each other, as well as a possible accomplice. The investigation is still ongoing, but let's talk about what we know so far. Kada Scott was born in 2002 in Philadelphia. Her parents say that even as a child she was a kind and beautiful spirit. She was also extremely smart, outgoing and creative. In 2019, Kada enrolled at Penn State University where she joined the cheerleading team. She loved performing in front of a crowd and her talent and pep made her an instant hit at football games. She also started competing in pageants and even made it to the Miss USA circuit. Although she had a packed schedule, Kata's future was her top priority. She studied communications and her dream was to one day start her own business. She was always coming up with new business ideas, from a clothing brand to a health care startup. When Kada graduated from Penn State in 2023, she decided to learn the ins and outs of health care. So she moves back in with her mom and gets a job as a caregiver at the Terrace at Chestnut Hill, which is an assisted living facility. She's always pictured a life helping people, but pretty soon Kada has to focus on keeping herself safe. In late September 2025, 23 year old Kada starts getting threatening phone calls from multiple unknown numbers. At first she tries to ignore them, but the callers won't leave her alone. She tries to stay calm and not let the harassment interfere with her day to day life. So Kada continues hanging out with her friends like she normally would. On the night of October 4, 2025, she goes out with some friends before her overnight shift at the assisted living facility. She gets home around 9:45pm and about 15 minutes later she drives her mom's car to work. However, she doesn't stay at work very long. Around 10.30pm, one of Kaita's co workers overhears her talking on the phone. They don't hear much, but it's clear that she's angry. A few minutes later, Kada's coworker sees her walk out of the building and get into a dark colored car. At this point, Kada's shift wasn't over. But after getting into the car, she never returns to finish her shift. And the next morning she doesn't come home. Kada's mom becomes worried and tries to call Kada, but her phone goes straight to voicemail, which is weird because Kayda always keeps her phone charged. Kada's mom then calls her dad and the two parents head to Kada's workplace to try and figure out what's going on. That's when they spot Kada's mom's car still in the parking lot. But Kada is nowhere to be found. So Kada's parents quickly call the police and notify the police that their daughter is missing. That same day, officers from the Philadelphia Police Department begin searching the area surrounding the CARE facility. They scour the woods with canines, helicopters and drones, but they don't find any sign of Kada. Officers look at her cell phone data and see that she hasn't used her phone or social media since she disappeared. And they also see that the last person she had spoken to was a man named Keon King. Meanwhile, Kada's friends and family launch a social media campaign to bring awareness to the case. And it's working because word is spreading quickly. On October 10, officials give an update on the case and say some evidence has led them to Aubrey Arboretum. But they don't give specifics on the exact evidence they have. There is a lot of ground to cover, so they enlist the help of cadets to search the area, but unfortunately they do not come up with anything. Then five days later on the 15th, officials announced the arrest of Keon King and ask the public for any tips they may have. They get two tips the first one is from an anonymous caller who says they should search the area around Ada H. Lewis Middle School, which is located about 2 1/2 miles from Kate's work. Officials had also requested help from the public to locate a Toyota Camry, which they believed was connected to the case. And the second tipster says that they saw the vehicle in the parking lot of the Gypsy Lane condos. Luckily, both tips result in important discoveries. At the abandoned Ada H Middle School, they find K's phone case and debit card. Police also find Keon King's 1999 gold Toyota Camry sitting in the parking lot at the Gypsy Lane condos. Investigators quickly begin searching the rest of the campus, including the heavily wooded area nearby. But unfortunately, they don't find any other clues. Still, the car is a crucial lead. But something else interesting happened when the police announced that Keon King had been arrested. A video of King in a backyard of a woman's house looking into her window went viral. It turns out King has kidnapped someone before. In January 2025, he was arrested after allegedly stalking a woman, then kidnapping and assaulting her in his car, the very same Toyota Camry. Keon posted bail in that case, but when it came time for his trial, the victim didn't show out of fear of retaliation. As a result, Keon's charges were dropped. In May 2025, King is charged with kidnapping for ransom, false imprisonment, stalking, recklessly endangering another person, and tampering with evidence. And the DA Also refiles his charges from the previous kidnapping case. However, Keon doesn't tell them anything about Keda's potential whereabouts. He won't even tell them whether she's alive or not or how they even know each other. But on the evening of October 17th, investigators get another call and it changes everything. It's another anonymous tip from a caller who tells him to go back to the Ada H. Lewis Middle School because they've missed something bit. I've seen so many people on social media talking about how clothes are getting more and more expensive, but the quality of the fabrics keeps getting worse and worse. It feels like even designer labels are using polyester, but charging the prices of real quality fabrics like cashmere, wool and real silk. I've been searching for some staple pieces for fall and winter that are made of high quality real fabrics that will actually last. And if you're in the same boat, you need to check out Quint. One of my favorite parts about Quint's is that they are working directly with ethical top tier factories. So you get high quality clothes, ethically sourced for half the price.

On the evening of October 17, 2025, investigators from the Philadelphia Police Department and the FBI receive a second anonymous tip about the disappearance of Kada Scott. The caller tells him to return to Ada H. Lewis Middle School, where some of Kada's belongings were previously found because they missed something big the last time they were there. Investigators venture into the surrounding woods and start to notice a strange smell. As the smell gets stronger, it leads them to a wooden board on the ground with fresh dirt underneath it. Investigators know immediately what this means. They don't bother grabbing shovels. Instead, they drop to the ground and begin digging up the dirt with their bare hands. They dig past maggots, and the deeper they get, the worse the smell becomes. Finally, they uncover human remains. They're only partially decomposed, so investigators can tell it's Kayda Scott. As they wait for confirmation from the medical examiner, investigators begin pouring through digital evidence, and soon they discover some disturbing evidence regarding the circumstances surrounding Keda's death. They learn that Keon and Keda did know each other at least briefly. On October 2, two days before Keda went missing, she received a text Message from an unknown sender. It turned out to be Keon telling her he got a new number. From there, investigators find something chilling. On October 4th, the day she went missing, Kada texted Keon, quote, kidnap me again. And he replied, better be up, too. Now, we don't know if Kada actually meant to kidnap her. A lot of people use this term, as in, hey, come through and pick me up. Not actually kidnap. But unfortunately, if she didn't want to be kidnapped, it was a unfortunate use of words. But from there, the clues only get more weird. Investigators also obtained surveillance footage from the area where K's body was found. In the footage, two people are seen getting out of the vehicle around 11:30pm on October 4th. Then around 4:00am on the 5th, they're seen removing a, quote, heavy object consistent with a human body out of the passenger side of a car before carrying it in the general direction of where Scott's body was later found. The footage heavily suggests that Keon was aided by an accomplice, but so far, investigators don't know who that person may be. I do find it weird that they got all of these anonymous tips as well, pointing them to the exact location of her body. So I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of accomplice. Finally, Keon allegedly stole a 2008 Hyundai Accent from a nearby neighborhood. Investigators believe he used that car to kidnap Kada before moving her to his Camry and driving her to the school parking lot. Then three days later, he set the stolen Hyundai on fire before having it towed to a nearby junkyard, likely in an attempt to dispose of DNA evidence. Authorities want to bring a slew of additional charges against Keon. And when the results of Kada's autopsy come back, they finally get what they need. At the same time, the results paint a tragic picture of her final moments. According to the me Kada died just 20 minutes after she left work from a single gunshot wound to the head. By October 25th. Keon is also charged with murder, arson causing a catastrophe, conspiracy, robbery, and abuse of a corpse, and he's denied bail. So far, a court date hasn't been made public. On Sunday, October 26, Kada's family held a balloon release outside of the Philadelphia Art Museum in her honor. This case is developing rapidly, so we'll be sure to give you any updates as soon as we have them. Our second story today involves a shift shady beauty scheme that resulted in at least three deaths. Libby Automay was nicknamed the California Butt lady after she gained infamy for performing under the table. Butt injections. Even after she and her daughter were convicted of manslaughter, Libby kept soliciting clients. And on October 9, 2025, she was found guilty again, this time for murder. So what led her to pursue black market beauty scams in the first place? Let's dive in. The demand for cosmetic procedures has steadily risen over the last decade. And considering the high costs of many of these procedures, many shady practitioners have sprung up to meet that demand. If you are injecting anything into your body or having anyone cut into you, please, please, please do extensive research and make sure they are a person who is licensed and has no arrest record. Even if they do have a license, please do your research. As we will see in this case, going to the wrong person can sadly cost you your life. No one knows how Libby Adame got her start as a fraudster, but one thing is certain, she does not have a medical degree. However, in 2012, when Libby was 42 years old, that didn't stop her from launching a black market business performing illegal butt lifts in LA and the surrounding areas. Libby solicits clients on Instagram and enlists the help of her daughter, Alicia galaz, who is 15 at the time. Together, they provide customers with liquid silicone injections. People looking to get a butt lift are interested in this method because it's less invasive and and cheaper than getting implants. However, it's extremely dangerous. Liquid silicone can enter the bloodstream and cause a variety of serious issues, including fatal blood clots and strokes. For that reason, silicone injections aren't FDA approved. So if someone in the US Wants them, they need to find someone like Libby. In 2018, a woman named Taryn Quinteri reaches out to Libby, but she's not certain if she actually wants to go through with it. That's when Alicia, Libby's daughter, shows Taryn her supposed butt lift. And when Taryn sees what Alicia looks like, she's sold. She pays Libby and Alicia $3,000 for one round of injections. But she doesn't live in la, so she meets them in a Las Vegas hotel room where a few other women are getting injections done too. It's common for people to get back alley butt lifts in someone's home or in a hotel room. Taryn knows people who have done it, so she's comfortable with the location. And on the day of the procedure, everything goes smoothly. Libby and Alicia are attracting more and more clients. And in September 2019, a woman named Carissa Rajpaul reaches out to them. Karissa is 26 years old and recently moved to LA from South Africa to work in adult entertainment and she wants to have injections done. She agrees to pay Libby and Alicia $14,000 for three rounds of injections and they go to her house to perform the procedure. During the first two sessions, Carissa records a video while she's receiving the injections. She sends it to her mom to reassure her that everything's fine. But when Carissa invites Libby and Alicia over for her third and final session on October 15, 2019, something goes horribly wrong. Almost as soon as they finish the injection, Carissa has a bad reaction from the silicone getting into her system. She's gone pale and is struggling to breathe. But instead of calling for help, they try and give her sugar water. Almost a half hour goes by before they realize that Carissa won't get better and call 91 1. But as soon as paramedics arrive, they flee. Carissa is rushed to their emergency room and unfortunately, doctors aren't able to save her. However, they have no idea what happened. It's not until Carissa's autopsy results come back that authorities realize this is a murder.

In October 2019, 26 year old Karissa Rajpala dies from complications of silicone injections which were administered to her illegally by 51 year old Libby Automy and her daughter, 23 year old Alicia Galaz. Following her autopsy, Carissa's manner of death is listed as homicide and the cause is acute cardiopulmonary dysfunction as a result of silicone injections. Police begin looking into what happened, but they don't make any arrests. Despite killing someone, Libby and Alicia continue to perform illegal butt lifts and two years go by. However, what they don't know is that the authorities are onto them. They're just waiting until they have enough evidence before closing in. Finally, on October 5, 2021, Libby and Alicia are arrested at their Riverside, California home and charged with second degree murder. They post their $1 million bail but they're ordered to turn in their passports and wear ankle monitors as they gear up for trial. LAPD investigators encourage other people who have received injections from Libby and Alicia to speak out. Soon, they're contacted by multiple women who have received botched treatments that resulted in a range of complications, including Taryn Quinteri, who met Libby and Alicia in a Vegas hotel room in 2019, months before Carissa was killed. Taryn's procedure had seemed to go well, but then six months later, she developed a severe persistent rash that wouldn't go away. When she went to the doctor, she told them about the procedure, and they discovered that the silicone was seeping into her muscle tissue. It had migrated into her legs and her sciatic nerve, and she had to have surgery to fix the issue. And a few years later, she underwent another procedure, but could only get about 50% of the chemicals removed. But that's not all. When Libby and Alicia's trial finally moves forward in 2024, prosecutors show footage from 2018, a year before Carissa died. The footage was captured in a salon, and it shows Libby fleeing the scene as medics arrive to try and save another one of Libby's clients. Libby has done the same thing twice. At least. That woman ultimately died as well. But Libby was never charged in connection with her death. However, prosecutors now argue that she and Alicia have shown a clear pattern of knowingly putting people in harm's way and trying to escape the consequences. But the jury ultimately decides that while their actions are bad, they don't constitute second degree murder. Instead, they find Libby and Alicia guilty of manslaughter. Libby is also convicted on three counts of practicing medicine without a license and is sentenced to four years and four months of state prison. And Alicia is convicted of two counts and gets three years and eight months. But between their time in custody after their convictions and their time under electronic monitoring, the judge gives them credit for time served, which means they barely spend any time behind bars after this. The judge warns them that both of them will face more serious consequences if something similar happens again. But Libby ignores this warning. Within a year, she's back on the streets, and her scheme is operational again. In March of 2025, a potential client reaches out to her. The woman's name is Cindiana Santangelo. She's 58 years old and somewhat of a celebrity. She first became famous in the 90s after appearing as a dancer in the music video for Young MC's song Bust a Move. After she went on to have a modeling and acting career. Appearing on TV shows like er, Married With Children and CSI Miami. Along with her husband, Frank Santangelo, Cindiana also ran a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Cindiana and Libby agree on a price, and on March 24, Libby goes to Cindiana's house in Malibu. Frank is also home while Libby performs the procedure. And when Cindiana becomes unresponsive, her symptoms are similar to Carissa's and Libby reacts the same way she did with Carissa by running out of the house. Frank frantically calls 911 and cindiana is rushed to the hospital. But unfortunately, she doesn't make it. Later, she determined that she died of an embolism. Since Frank was a witness to the whole thing. Libby is quickly arrested and charged with second degree murder. She pleads not not guilty and claims that she was only at Cindiana's house for a beauty consultation. She says Cindiana already had bandages on her butt when she got there, suggesting that someone else gave her the fatal injections. She even tells the jury that the injection marks on Cindiana were, quote, too high, so they couldn't be her work. However, the prosecution presents text messages between Libby and Cindiana where they discuss scheduling an appointment and payment. They also highlight Libby's prior conviction and her proven knowledge of the threat that silicone injections pose. In the end, on October 9, 2025, Libby is convicted on second degree murder and practicing medicine without a license. She also receives a special allegation of causing great bodily harm. And this time, Libby will be spending a lot more time in prison than before, because In California, a second degree murder conviction carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years. Cindiana's husband Frank, is also suing Libby in a civil case. He wrote that his wife was, quote, killed in the prime of her life in her own home by Libby Adame, an unlicensed individual falsely holding herself out as qualified to perform cosmetic procedures. Tragically, her death not only could have, but should have been prevented, he said.
