Caledonia boy inspired by Menendez brothers fatally stabs mother, complaint says

A 15-year-old Racine County boy says he was inspired by California's Menendez brothers when he stabbed his mother to death earlier this week, according to prosecutors.
Reed R. Gelinskey was charged Thursday with first-degree intentional homicide by the Racine County District Attorney's Office.
As police arrived at the Caledonia home in 10000 block of White Manor Court at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Gelinskey dropped a knife in front of officers and admitted to killing his mother while asking officers to kill him, according to prosecutors.
Gelinskey's mother is only identified with the initials SG in the complaint.
Gelinskey told a detective during his interview that he came home from school and felt depression and an urge to kill his parents, the complaint says. Gelinskey said he had been taking his brother's anxiety medication for about a month and during the night of the murder he took about nine pills, according to the complaint. The teen said the pills didn't help with anxiety but made him feel high and he enjoys that.
According to the complaint, Gelinskey said he searched the home for a hammer because he was going to kill his father when he came home from work but could not find one large enough. Gelinskey said after dinner, his mother was seated on the couch using her computer and so he started watching a movie.
Gelinskey said he turned on a Netflix documentary about Lyle and Erik Menendez, famed brothers who were convicted of killing their parents at their Beverly Hills home in 1989. Gelinskey said this is when he developed the plan to kill his parents and he said it came to him during the "shotgun scene," which graphically depicts the killing of José and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez.
Gelinskey's mother went upstairs at about 9:50 p.m. and that is when he got up to hide his sleeping medication, according to the complaint. He said after hiding the medication he grabbed a steak knife and put it in his pocket before telling his mother that he couldn't find his medicine.
Gelinskey said he hid a dumbbell bar in the sleeve of his sweatshirt while his mother came down to look for the pills. As his mother's back was turned, Gelinskey hit her twice in the head with the dumbbell, the complaint says. Gelinskey said he thought she would fall over but she did not so he threw her to the ground and grabbed the knife. According to the complaint, Gelinskey said his mother tried to kick him off her several times but eventually he stabbed her three times in the chest and twice in the neck.
Gelinskey said his mother asked him, "Why?" and he replied, "Pain," the complaint says.
After the attack, Gelinskey said he contacted his friend via Snapchat and told her to call the police. He said he sat on the floor until he heard sirens and once those stopped, he went outside to investigate where he was met by police.
"She is dead," Gelinskey said to officers, according to the complaint. "She is dead from what I did," he added.
Gelinskey appeared in court Thursday where bail was set at $1 million. If convicted, he faces a mandatory life sentence.

If convicted, Reed Gelinskey faces life in prison.
According to state statute, a case involving any child who is 10 or older and accused of first-degree intentional homicide is automatically assigned to adult court.
Gelinskey had an initial appearance via Zoom at the Racine County Courthouse on Thursday. His cash bail was set at $1,000,000 and his next hearing is scheduled for Friday.
Allegations
According to a criminal complaint, Caledonia police were sent to the 10000 block of White Manor Court after a report that a juvenile had stabbed his mother to death in their home.
The complaint said that when police arrived, Gelinskey dropped a kitchen knife while standing on the front stoop. His clothes appeared to have blood on them.
According to the original news release from the Caledonia Police Department, he surrendered without incident.
The complaint said that Gelinskey reportedly asked the police to kill him and stated that "she is dead from what I did."
Police found his mother lying face-up in the foyer and, according to the complaint, she had sustained "apparent stab wounds," and her clothes were soaked with blood.
Responders attempted life-saving measures, but she "could not be revived," the complaint said.
During an interview at CPD, Gelinskey reportedly told police that after arriving home from school he felt depressed and had an urge to kill his parents.
According to the complaint, Gelinskey told police that the plan to kill his parents came to him while he was watching "The Menendez Brothers" documentary.
Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted in the 1989 murder of their parents.
According to the complaint, Gelinskey told police that he struck his mother twice in the head with a dumbbell and stabbed her three times in the chest and twice in the neck after she came downstairs to help him find his sleep medication.
Gelinskey reportedly contacted a friend via a messaging app, asking her to call the police and including a photo of his mother on the floor.

Does Wisconsin want to make daylight saving time permanent?
From JSOnline:

Wisconsinites' clocks will once again "spring forward" this weekend with the return of daylight saving time.
This year, there's renewed media attention surrounding the time change given that President Donald Trump has voiced his support for ending it — calling it "inconvenient" and "very costly" in a mid-December Truth Social post.
However, opposition to daylight saving time is not new. There's been an ongoing debate about the time changes for decades — and Hawaii and Arizona don't observe daylight saving time. Most recently, several states, including Arkansas, Nevada and Massachusetts, have introduced bills calling for a permanent standard time, local reports say.
Meanwhile, nearly two dozen states have been trying to make daylight saving time permanent. Florida became the first state to enact legislation to permanently observe it in 2018, though the measure has yet to receive Congressional approval.
So, are there any bills in the works to make daylight saving time permanent in Wisconsin?
Here's what to know:
When does daylight saving time start in 2025?
Daylight saving time will resume on Sunday, March 9. Clocks will spring forward one hour between 2 and 3 a.m.
When does daylight saving time end in 2025?
Daylight saving time will end on Sunday, Nov. 2 between 2 and 3 a.m.
Does Wisconsin want to make daylight saving time permanent?
No, or at least not yet. There are not currently any measures underway to make daylight saving time permanent in Wisconsin.
What states want to make daylight saving time permanent?
There are 20 states with measures to make daylight saving time permanent, 18 of which have passed, according to National Conference of State Legislatures.
- Alabama
- Colorado
- Delaware
- Florida
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Oklahoma
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Maine
- Minnesota
- Mississippi
- Montana
- Ohio
- Oregon
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- Utah
- Washington
- Wyoming
Despite the efforts, Congress would need to act before any changes would be adopted since federal law does not currently allow for year-round daylight saving time, per the NCSL.

Tariffs will be 'devastating': Car dealership owner | NewsNation Now
Sorry, but I have no sympathy for any car dealer. They are crooks, they are trained to be crooks, and they always will be crooks. They simply can't resist tacking on bogus fees and outrageous charges. They believe that they have a "right" to rip you off. I worked in auto repair for 10 years in Chicago. I know car salesmen. They snicker behind our backs.

Cops Gone Wild: Milwaukee County tracks officers with credibility problems. But the system is inconsistent and incomplete.

A deputy falsifying jail logs. Officers stealing during a search warrant. An off-duty officer hitting a parked car after leaving a bar, then lying about it.
Imagine one of them arrested you.
Would you want to know about their past?
Under the law, you have a right to that information. How and when you get access to it depends on prosecutors, who file criminal charges and bring a case in court.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office has a system for tracking officers with credibility concerns, allegations of dishonesty or bias, and past criminal charges. But it is inconsistent, incomplete and relies, in part, on police agencies to report integrity violations, an investigation by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, TMJ4 News and Wisconsin Watch found.

Three Racine County men enter not guilty pleas in separate child porn cases

RACINE — Three Racine County residents pleaded not guilty to child pornography charges Thursday at the Racine County Courthouse.
Leroy Kolacinski of Racine, 64, pleaded not guilty to 13 counts of possessing child pornography; Melieke Nemeth of Racine, 18, pleaded not guilty to 10 counts; and Devin Katzman of Union Grove, 27, pleaded not guilty to four counts.
Each man is scheduled to appear in court for a status conference in April.
Six other Racine County residents have been similarly charged in 2025, according to Journal Times records.
Dustin Heddings and Tyler Deavers, both of Racine, pleaded not guilty earlier this month.
Ciquil Mangum, a 20-year-old from Racine, faces 11 counts and has yet to enter a plea. He is scheduled for a competency hearing March 24.
Also included in the total count is Michael Castagnino, a 41-year-old from the Town of Dover, who was arrested by investigators with the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office and Wisconsin State Patrol troopers after a warrant was issued.
Castagnino has yet to make an initial court appearance.
Crystal Lachman of Union Grove, who is 30, was charged Feb. 21 and is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing March 12.
A 17-year-old from Racine faces 16 similar charges.
Possessing child pornography is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $100,000 fine, 25 years in prison, or both. Anyone convicted also can be ordered to pay a $500 surcharge for each image recovered.
Perhaps my view is skewed by the fact that I was sexually assaulted as a child by a family friend, a Catholic priest, and a juvenile court judge, but I think Racine is full of pedophiles.
Cops Gone Wild: Former Greenfield police officer recorded teen girls changing in school locker room, complaint says
From JSOnline:

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
A former Greenfield police officer is charged with recording underage girls in a high school locker room while working at a private Milwaukee school.
Fernando Bustos, 41, of Greendale, faces a felony count of invasion of privacy with a surveillance device regarding an incident where a victim is under 18 years old.
Bustos worked as a security coordinator for Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, 1818 W. National Ave. in Milwaukee, before being fired, according to a criminal complaint. School officials did not immediately respond for comment.
Bustos served as a Greenfield police officer until 2020, when he voluntarily resigned, according to the Greenfield Police Department.
Documents show Bustos resigned after an incident where he mishandled evidence, which put him on the Brady list, a national documentation of law enforcement officers with a history of dishonesty, bias or past crimes. The archive can affect officers' credibility as a witness in court hearings.
Bustos was recorded setting up a camera at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School
According to the complaint:
On Feb. 19, school officials told Milwaukee police officers Bustos was ordered to turn over his school laptop and iPhone after being fired, but he refused to give the items back. Bustos demanded to be allowed to remove personal items from the electronics before returning them.
Bustos also told staff he needed to retrieve personal property from a staff locker room before leaving. He was escorted by a staff member into the locker room before saying, "You wouldn’t want people to think the wrong thing of us in here together.”
Because of this comment, the staff member waited by the doorway, but noticed Bustos was taking an unusual amount of time to retrieve his personal belongings.
Bustos eventually exited the locker room with two full backpacks. Bustos showed the staff member a pair of shoes in one backpack but refused to open the other backpack.
A subsequent inventory of property items left inside Busto's office included a camera with an SD card inside. Staff checked the SD card and found it contained hundreds of 10-second videos taken inside the high school girls locker room.
The videos were recorded between May 21, 2024, to Feb. 1, 2025, according to the complaint.
A detective said a review of 379 videos with timestamps between Oct. 7 and 8 included one showing Bustos installing a camera inside the high school girl's locker room positioned toward the bathroom sinks. The footage showed Bustos closing a locker and locking it with a padlock.
No other cameras were found after police conducted a sweep of the school. Staff told officers the locker room is only used by female students in grades nine through 12.
Documents show former Greenfield officer was investigated before his 2020 resignation
Bustos was investigated for mishandling evidence ahead of him resigning from the Greenfield Police Department, documents show.
On Dec. 4, 2020, Bustos was the lead officer in an investigation of two suspects committing identity theft at Paul's Wine & Liquor 2, 4955 S. 27th St.
The suspects were arrested and items such as bottles of illegally purchased alcohol, cartons of cigarettes and fraudulent credit cards were seized from the suspects' vehicle by Bustos.
The stolen merchandise was loaded into Bustos' squad car at the scene. He later unloaded and photographed the recovered items before sending out an email to the department ― but two bottles of alcohol recovered from the scene weren't included in his photograph.
A few days after this incident, concern rose among detectives after they could not locate the two bottles of alcohol recovered from the scene. They were valued at $120 each.
A detective conducted a follow-up with the officers who were at the scene and police body camera footage was reviewed.
Bustos and the other officers insisted all of the alcohol was inventoried.
Bustos was seen on body cameras and surveillance footage with evidence taken from the scene, but the liquor seen on body cameras was never inventoried into property.
After reviewing the footage, detectives concluded Bustos removed two bottles of alcohol, but he never inventoried them into evidence.
Bustos resigned from his position on Dec. 29, 2020, before the investigation was completed.
The finished investigation determined Bustos lied about mishandling evidence and could not explain why the bottles were missing. Documents show criminal charges of theft and misconduct were supported, however online court records show Bustos was never charged.
