FOUNTAIN, Colo. – A woman faces two counts of felony child abuse after she allegedly left her two young children locked in a bedroom while away on a trip.

It’s unclear exactly how long Kanesha Godin, 25, was away from the two children, but police say they were malnourished when they were discovered.

The Fountain Police Department says it was called to the home in the 100 block of Wellington Street on March 8 after a friend of Godin’s discovered the children weren’t being cared for.

Police say Godin had arranged for a friend to check on the children while she was gone, to feed them and to change their diapers. She had told the friend that a neighbor would be caring for the children day and night as well, according to the police department.

But the friend eventually discovered that there was no neighbor checking on the children and called police.

Officers obtained an arrest warrant for Godin on Tuesday, and she turned herself in. According to El Paso County jail records, her bond was set at $25,000 but she also has two active duty Fort Carson holds.

Godin is a Fort Carson soldier. The North Carolina native has been with the military for more than seven years.

Police did not say how old the children were or how long Godin was gone from her home.

She is next due in court March 16. Fountain police ask anyone with information on the incident to call them at 719-382-8555.

BRIGHTON, Colo. – An 18-year-old Prairie View High School student faces charges after he allegedly made threats to the school and posted threatening pictures on social media.

Frank DeFiore, 18, was arrested last Friday and faces charges of interference with staff, faculty or students of educational institutions and harassment.

According to the Brighton Police Department, a student at the school found the posts, in which DeFiore alleged he was going to shoot students at the school, on social media and reported them to school administrators.

The school then contacted police, who also found the post and further discovered “numerous weapons” in DeFiore’s possession and that he had “recently made threatening or alarming statements to multiple people,” according to the police department.

Prairie View’s principal, Jaime White, sent a letter home with students after the arrest saying the school was working with Brighton and Commerce City police in the investigation.

Former students at the school on Tuesday said that in person, DeFiore seemed like a normal student.

“I had never seen him as that type of person, I mean, he would be in class, making jokes. He would be that type of kid,” said Justin McClanahan, who had a class with DeFiore last year.

But on social media, they pointed to a Twitter account for “Frank the Tank,” which they believe is DeFiore.

The account includes a photo of a gun shop captioned “My Happy Place,” a reference to “the voices in my head,” and a recent post stating “Time for a [expletive] adventure.”

Cameron Worth, a former Prairie View High Student who knows DeFiore, said that the most-threatening posts have already been deleted.

“He posted a picture of his gun he just bought, I think it was an AK or something, and he said, ‘Worth every penny.’ or something like that,” said Worth. “I thought he just meant he was going to use it at the range and then I heard about the threats. It’s really scary. My little cousins go to school here and I don’t want them to get shot.”

Brighton police say the investigation is open and ongoing.

EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. – The two people found dead on the side of a road Sunday south of Fountain have been identified as Colorado Springs teenagers.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday identified the victims as Derek Benjamin Greer, 15, and Natalie Partida, 16, both of Colorado Springs, according to their Facebook pages.

The sheriff’s office says both of their deaths have been ruled homicides.

Their bodies were found around 8:45 a.m. Sunday along the side of Old Pueblo Road, about three-quarters of a mile south of Hanover Road. The Pikes Peak International Raceway is just across I-25 from where the bodies were found.

The sheriff’s office has not said how the two teens were killed, but says it is “aggressively” investigating their murders and “asking the community to be vigilant.” It asks anyone with knowledge related to the murders to call the office at 719-390-5555.

DENVER – The U.S. Army is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can help find the killer of a young woman stationed at Fort Carson who was murdered nearly 30 years ago to date.

The Army, working with the Colorado Springs Police Department, has completed DNA phenotyping testing and put together composite images of what the alleged killer of 20-year-old Army Spc. Darlene Krashoc looked like in 1987 and what he looks like now.

Krashoc, 20, was stationed at Fort Carson and was assigned to the 73rd Maintenance Company when she was found dead March 17, 1987 in the parking lot of a restaurant near Hancock and S. Academy. The restaurant was known as the Korean Club restaurant at the time.

The Army says Krashoc had been at a club called Shuffles with several other members of her unit earlier in the night. The club was located about two miles north of where she was found dead.

Krashoc was last seen leaving Shuffles between midnight and 1 a.m. Her body was found behind the restaurant at 5:30 a.m.

After years of investigating, the case went cold, according to the Army. But investigators eventually reopened the case in 2004, and DNA testing was done on evidence.

The testing found that the DNA belonged to an unknown man.

Last year, the Army and Colorado Springs Police Department submitted more than two dozen pieces of evidence to the Army’s Criminal Investigation Laboratory and a private DNA company for additional DNA analysis and phenotyping.

The DNA phenotyping company was able to come up with the approximate age of the suspect both when the murder occurred and his current age, as well as descriptors.

The Army notes that the composites it released “are not likely to be exact replicas of appearance” because some non-environmental factors can’t be determined by DNA.

Both the Army Criminal Investigation Command and CSPD are looking for help in identifying the suspect.

Anyone who might know who he is or have further information is asked to contact the local Army CID office, the CID Headquarters in Virginia (1-844-ARMY-CID or 571-305-4375 or Army.CID.Crime.Tips@mail.mil) or CSPD at 719-444-7000.

AURORA, Colo. – A Texas duo wanted in connection with the March 7 murder of a young woman was captured Thursday by law enforcement officers in Aurora.

Christopher Stogsdill, 26, and Sierra Diaz, 20, were discovered, along with Diaz’s two infant children, just north of the APD station on East 23^rd Avenue.

The two are accused of being involved in the shooting death of Shelby Trotnic in Montgomery County, Texas on Tuesday. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Texas Rangers had obtained a murder warrant for Stogsdill’s arrest and a child endangerment warrant for Diaz because of the living conditions at her Texas home.

Trotnic was shot in the head and killed. She had been living with Stogsdill and Diaz, according to the sheriff’s office.

The Aurora Police Department and Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Fugitive Task Force took part in the arrests of both. Texas Rangers and detectives are in Aurora to interview the pair.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says the two children will be returned to Texas to live with other family members.

DENVER – Two Denver deputies were suspended for two days in February in the latest disciplinary actions this year at the Denver jail.

The Denver Post reports that deputies Kevin Bennett and Gregory Shimek were suspended for paperwork and computer data entry errors that kept inmates in jail for at least two days longer than they were supposed to be incarcerated.

The disciplinary records were obtained by The Post through an open records request.

The incidents come amid a push at the Denver Sheriff Department, which operates the city’s jail, to work to fix problems with the recordkeeping process at the jail, which Sheriff Patrick Firman says is outdated.

The Post reports the department is working to buy a new system that it hopes will improve clerical errors that the department and jail worry make them prone to lawsuits. The disciplines are the second and third of the year.

The discipline was Bennett’s first in 15 years on the force, while Shimek had been disciplined for a similar mistake just two months earlier.
