Police Officer arrested for the Murder of Missing Mom Wynetta Wright and Baby Jaylin

You may not have heard about 20 year-old Wynetta Wright (pictured above) and her one year old daughter Jaylin who were reported missing on Tuesday from Hillcrest, MD, and sadly its only now we are because the mother and toddlers bodies were discovered.

This as much about a missing persons case as it is a intimate partner homicides. So many of missing persons cases are related directly to a spouse or former boyfriend. They are always the last person with whom victims have direct contact, and almost always the last ones to see them alive. And it can take years before remains are discovered and even longer for justice. Women and men all victims of intimate partner violence in my opinion,who are still missing; Renee Pernice, Samatha Smith, Lisa Stebic, Patty Vaughan, Hope Meek, Stacy Peterson, Michael Tappley, Billy Smoliniski, John James Morris, Venus Stewert, Brandy Hanna, Star Boomer, Melanie Methanie, Beth Bently and police cadet Kelly Rothwell are among a few who remain on an ever growing list.

The young mother was to be in court this past Tuesday for a paternity and child support hearing. And the evening before she received a call from the child's father to meet with him and talk. They had had no communication since the birth of the baby.

The father and person arrested, Richard Phillips a District of Columbia police officer assigned to the vice-unit working drugs and street crimes. He is now being held without bond and his police powers have been revoked.

The District of Columbia Officer was very married and she likely had no clue of the relationship until the arrest. So he takes matters into his own hands because he is angry with the fact that she is taking him to court for support of the child.

Wynetta died from basically being beaten to death. The one year old child was found still strapped in her car seat Jaylin died from the extreme heat.

In far too many of these cases why does anyone let their guard down and meet someone in a secluded area to talk? It serves no purpose and as in this tragic example, it will get you killed. Wynetta did alert her mother as to where she was going and with whom she would be meeting. In a lot of these cases that does not often happen. Victims do not tell someone where they are going or meeting. Quick police work resulted in finding both mother and daughter. In my opinion, funeral expenses for both mother and child should come out of the officers accumulated retirement money.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please send donations to:

Wynetta & Jaylin Wright Fund c/o Marshall-March Funderal Home
4308 Suitland Road
Suitland, MD 20746
301-736-1616


I cannot stress enough the dangers of ending a relationship and having a plan in place before you announce to the world that you are ending the relationship, going to court or moving on with your life. Tragedy does not have to be the outcome when you are smart and have a solid plan.

f you are in a relationship that has a history of violence, simply mustering up the courage to confront the person and say it is over, without the proper tools, can cost you, your life!

The book "Time's Up A Guide on How To Survive and Abusive and Stalking Relationship" is the prescription, if you will, that every person must obtain before they announce they are leaving. Below is an example from Chapter 4, one of many unique tools provided in the book. It is available on Amazon.com, or you can purchase via e-book or on a cd. If you have questions, the email address is: timesupforjustice@gmail.com

Before you decide that you have had enough and are ending the relationship create for yourself the "Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit" and video (shown below).

If you do nothing else, please take one important step that if something does happen to you, if you do vanish like Stacy Peterson, Vensus Stewart, Rachel Anderson, Susan Powell, Lisa Stebic,
Kelly Rothwell or arefound murdered like Monica Beresford-Redmond, Franki Jacobson, Renee Pagel,Summer Inman, and others where the person responsible has gotten away with murder that your voice and record of the abuse will be captured and recorded. Do it for you friends, family and loved ones. Do it for your children. Do it for you!

Remembering Kathleen Savio a Casualty in the War of Officer Related Intimate Partner Homicide

Two young boys, ages nine and eleven, lost their loving mother Kathleen Savio on March 1, 2004. Her death was an accident, they were told. Seven years ago today, in my opinion, she was murdered.

Never again will their mother greet the boys in the morning when they wake. In the afternoon when they return home from school, Mom will not be waiting for her boys. She will never again ask either of her sons "How was your day at school?" She will not be in the kitchen preparing dinner while they do their homework.

And Mom will no longer kiss them on the cheek, wishing each of her boys sweet dreams, as she had done thousands of nights.

I realize the photo's from the crime scene when Kathleen Savio's body was found will never be released and kept under seal from the public. For three reasons:

1st-If you saw these particular photo's you would know by viewing them that she was beaten. Brusises covered her back, torso, arms, shoulders, stomach and legs. From the naked eye there was no doubt this was not an accident, Kathleen Savio was murdered.

2nd- The way her body was positioned in the tub is something commonly taught at the police academy, dipicting a staged crime scene.

3rd-Those investigators who looked away by not documenting her murder, thinking they were doing their fellow buddy in blue a favor, caused the killing of yet another innocent victim of war Stacy Peterson.

I for one would like the names of these so called investigators along with former State's Attorney Tomczak to be gathered together for a formal Senate investigation hearing for the "war on intimate partner homicide." I realize it will do nothing to give Stacy Peterson, who vanished on October 28, 2007 and is still a missing person. or Kathleen Savio whom Peterson is now awaiting trial for her murder back their lives. But it will do so much to prevent future casualities in this war. Peterson is a social and psychotic nightmare of the worst kind, and we can learn a great deal in talking, reviewing, analyzing and finally implementing procedures many on the book "Time's Up," proven to be effective saving lives while addressing what has and hasn't happened since the murders of these two women.

If law enforcement and the legal system had done their jobs back in 2002, when Kathleen Savio asked for help, perhaps she would still be alive today. At the very minimum had those on the crime scene conducted their investigation properly, Drew Peterson would have been arrested for her murder.

We mark the anniversary of her death as a way to sound the sirens for justice to those married to law enforcement officers whom fight to the end, silenced by a system where the brotherhood of the badge continues to send innocent women to their graves.

Kathleen Savio deserved so much more, may she rest in peace.

One day the legal system will embrace the messenger utilizing proven strategies and implement the prescription for change that will enforce the laws while at the same reducing the number of murders without anyone's ego getting bruised.

Wendy Stevens and a Husband's Rage




Wendy Stevens went through a bank ATM machine, her four children in the car with her when five rounds of gunfire blasted into the SUV killing the 36-year of mother.

This was not a random act of violence. It was a husbands rage.

As I pen this post, it is the children who will be forever scarred by this single, life altering event. When a child witnesses the cold blooded murder of a parent. that vision is literally tatooed in them for the remainder of their days on earth. The repeated memory of these children will be of being helpless and watching as Mommy is shot,  bullets entering her body with lighting speed while buckled up in her seat slumped over the steering wheel.  It is the last picture they will have of their Mother.

In my opinion. no amount of therapy will prepare them for their life's journey. The months ahead will be cruel as they attempt to get through a single day without reliving this nightmare. The news coverage of this case will go on for months and perhaps years.



When the children return to school they will feel isolated and alone. They will not be able to cope with seeing parents drop off their school mates without remembering their mother. The kids will have difficulty in anything that reminds them of their interaction with their Mother. It is my hope that the community will rally around these children and embrace them gently as they take baby steps back into society.

That the adults in their lives will protect them from ignorant individuals. some who knew or were related to either the victim or the murderer, who show their lack of intelligence as they post inapprorpiate comments of this tragedy on various Internet sites. Repeating them here would be giving true ignorance a forum for folks who have no clue about Intimate Partner violence and homicide.

There is one Internet comment I will post from someone named Dixie 17:

"Wendy is my aunt and she was a great mother. She was a loving, fun, and caring person with a big heart. She had four beautiful children and she loved them with all of her heart; anyone who knew her could tell you that. It is such a tragedy that these young children had to witness their mothers death. I have met mike quite a few times and he is a twisted person. He has been arrested for strangling her so she put a restraining order on him. He was arrested again for violating the restraining order, and he continued to stalked her. I believe he deserves a whole lot more than the state of Alabama would allow. On top on murdering the mother of his two children he put his own child’s life in danger. So for those of you who posted comments in his favor need to look at the facts, and you may also need to talk to a counselor. Rest in peace my love, you are missed dearly"



[Case Overview-Wendy Stevens filed for divorce in January and she also had a court order of protection against her estranged husband who was, according to the judge's order. violent and stalking her. On Tuesday, May 11, 2010, as he killed Wendy, the coward fled the crime scene. On Wednesday Michael Berry was arrested and charged with her murder, on that same morning he was scheduled to appear in court for violating the order.]

Rest in peace Wendy Stevens and may God grant you the ability to watch over your children and direct their lives from the heavens.

Could "Time's Up" have helped Monica Beresford-Redman before it was too late?




The moment I heard the news that former television producer of the show "Survivor's"wife, Monica Beresford-Redman ,had been found dead of strangulation in a sewer while the couple and their children were vacation, my heart sank. I knew there was more to this tragic end than was being reported.

The sister of the slain wife of "Survivor" producer, Bruce Beresford-Redman, said, "he had been having an affair, and that the couple went to Mexico to patch things up.” I realize the toxicology reports and other DNA results are not back yet, but, this walks, talks and smells, in my opinion, like premeditated murder.


Abusers are clever in every aspect when it pertains to harming those in their lives. Think about it for a moment. He is allegedly having an affair with someone outside the marriage. His mind is clearly not on his wife or children. Maybe the person with whom he is having an affair says something like “unless you leave your wife and kids, we are history.” Or perhaps Bruce Beresford Redman is in love with this person and decides the easiest way out of his marriage is to take Monica on a planned trip out of the country for a “second honeymoon.” Considering he traveled the world as a producer it is likely he would have an idea of the best place to go without raising any eyebrows. Bruce makes Monica believe the affair has ended and he wants to recommit to his love for Monica and the kids. She informs family and friends they are taking a trip in hopes of patching things up.

In the mind of an abuser, the main objective in the majority of intimate violence homicide's is to remove the obstacle, allegedly, in this case, the mother of his children and wife Monica, all together from his life.

Monica Beresford-Redman in my opinion did not have a chance in hell for survival once she got on that plane. I have to believe that somewhere in her gut she knew something wasn’t right with the trip and on good faith went ahead anyway hoping their lives would get back on track. Domestic violence homicide is no longer a single act of heated rage or an isolated incident. It is an epidemic, and we can expect more mothers, sisters, community members and co-workers to lose their lives at the hands of those who profess to love them.

In my opinion, had Monica Beresford completed an Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit document and video (example show above) prior to her getting on that plane to Mexico, the person responsible would be arrested and charged with her murder.

If you learn anything from this site it is to be on guard if you are in a relationship with an abuser. Before you take a trip or announce you are ending the relationship or filing for divorce, as a safety precaution, you must prepare an Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit document and video. In the event something happens to you at least you have prepared documentation in advance, just in case you do suddenly go missing or discovered as too many women are, dead.

Supreme Court Ruling " Applicant's Admission Denied"





Today, the Nebraska Supreme Court gave a voice to three intimate officer involved victim's of abuse over a nine year period whom were each ( all sought court orders of protection) at the center of what I believe is the first ever denial of a former police officer. The supreme court decision is based on his alleged abusive acts against the victims and other behaviors. He was denied admission to sit for the Nebraska State Bar Exam.

The Supreme Court decision was carefully based on the following criteria set forth before anyone can take the bar exam and become an attorney:

"4. Attorneys at Law. Where the record of an applicant for admission to the Nebraska State Bar demonstrates a significant lack of honesty, trustworthiness, diligence, or reliability, a basis may exist for denying his or her application.
5. ____. When evidence exists to indicate that an applicant has engaged in conduct demonstrating a lack of character and fitness, the Nebraska State Bar Commission must determine whether present character and fitness qualify the applicant for admission."



The Allegations Against Former police officer Anthony Ybarra were prior to his attending law school.

Anthony Ybarra worked as a police officer with the Scottsbluff Police Department from December 1997 to March 2003. During this time, Ybarra had an intimate relationship with a woman. The relationship ended in August 1999. In August 2001, D.G. twice filed a petition for a protection order against Ybarra. In an affidavit in support of one of the protection orders, the woman reported incidents of Ybarra’s harassing her.

On April 22, 2001, Ybarra arrested the woman for driving under the influence (DUI). According to the victim, Ybarra was sitting in his patrol car outside a bar when his former girlfriend left the bar. Then Officer Ybarra followed her for more than a mile and turned on his patrol car’s overhead lights when she stopped at her sister’s house. The woman was not concerned at first because officerYbarra had previously pulled her over on a number of occasions to talk to her and ask her to go to lunch. Instead, Officer Ybarra administered field sobriety tests and then arrested the woman. After she posted bond and returned home at 4 a.m., The victim found offficerYbarra waiting for her. Ybarra then entered her house without permission. She asked him to leave, indicating that if he did not, she would call the police.

In my opinion, and in true abuser style, the partol sergeant employed with the Scottsbluff Police Department Ybarra, said, “‘I am the police’” and left. He subsequently called the woman from his patrol car. She told him she had nothing to say and hung up. The woman said she believed officer Anthony Ybarra was using his authority to intimidate her.

And, of course, it would be Anthony Ybarra telling a different version of the events of that evening. Sounds like a few others who suffer from the same behavior pattern we read about, wouldn't you agree?

"The Commission thus found Ybarra lacked the ability to demonstrate honesty and integrity; to act in accordance with the law and the rules of ethics; to exercise good judgment; to avoid acts that show disregard for the health, safety, and welfare of others; and to conduct himself professionally. The record shows a history of behavior which is abusive, violent, hostile, intimidating, threatening, assaultive, unlawful, and perverted. The record shows that Ybarra does not meet the standards of character required to be admitted to the bar."

The entire decision on this case can be read HERE.

CONCLUSION As Per the Supreme Court (upholding the decision of the commision is as follows:
Ybarra’s behavior demonstrates a pattern of abhorrent behavior toward women. Three women in the past 9 years have sought protection orders against him. He has not admitted that his behavior is inappropriate and has not demonstrated any remorse. The Commission was correct in determining that Ybarra does not meet the standards of character required for admission to the bar and that he should not be allowed to take the state bar examination. We affirm the Commission’s denial of Ybarra’s application to take the Nebraska bar examination.(in re application of ybarra 759 Cite as 279 Neb. 758Nebraska Advance Sheets 760 279 nebraska reports)


In my opinion, the former officer's behavior literally came back to bite him in the ass. After many years of dealing with intimate officer violence in the home, I cannot recall a more timely victory on behalf of all those whose cries for help fell on deaf ears!
