Authorities caught a registered sex offender from Texas on Saturday after an intense and massive manhunt involving multiple law enforcement agencies. As it turns out, the suspect's parents tipped off authorities after his mother made a horrifying discovery on her property. The mother told deputies with the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office that she walked out of her home and noticed her son standing looking “very sweaty,” as reported by KWTX-TV. 'This guy who we believe committed this horrible and brutal murder was sentenced to 40 years. He served approximately 10 years, was paroled out, and then committed this horrible crime. He never should have gotten out, but he did.'The woman said she attempted to walk around her son — 36-year-old Richard Tanner Ozment — but he stood in her way. The mother claimed she had to push him out of her way.But that was far from the worst of it.The affidavit states that the woman spotted a human foot behind a recreational vehicle on her property in China Springs. As the mother walked to the area behind the RV, she reportedly discovered a severely wounded woman.According to court documents, the mother asked Ozment, “What have you done?” He reportedly replied, “She tried to stab me.”The mother frantically ran inside her home, and Ozment’s father called 911. China Spring firefighters were the first to arrive at the grisly crime scene and noticed a man running away from the home.First responders treated 38-year-old Michaela Brooker, who was suffering from “extensive injuries, mainly, to her head,” according to the affidavit. Brooker was airlifted to a hospital where she was pronounced dead as a result of her injuries.McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara said Ozment used a machete-like weapon to kill Brooker.By the time police arrived, Ozment had fled the crime scene. Law enforcement assembled a major manhunt to track down Ozment, which included the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office’s SWAT Team, the Waco Police Department’s K9 unit and drone support, the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Game Wardens, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice Tracking K9.Roughly 10 hours later, deputies riding on horseback and accompanied by K9s tracked down Ozment. He reportedly was hiding in a stock tank about a football field away from the bloody crime scene.McNamara said he believed Brooker’s murder arose from a “domestic disturbance” but did not reveal the exact relationship between the victim and Ozment.Ozment was charged with murder and is being held at the McLennan County Jail on a $1 million bond. “This is one of the most horrific, brutal, and senseless attacks that we have seen in a long time,” McNamara said, “It never should have happened. This guy who we believe committed this horrible and brutal murder was sentenced to 40 years. He served approximately 10 years, was paroled out, and then committed this horrible crime. He never should have gotten out, but he did.”A Waco Tribune-Herald article published in March 2015 reported that Ozment, then 26 years old, was sentenced to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to burglarizing five area churches and two homes.The outlet noted, "The charges against Ozment were enhanced to first-degree felonies because of a juvenile adjudication for aggravated sexual assault in 2004 and a felony terroristic threat conviction in 2007."In 2013, Ozment was arrested after complaints that he was taking pictures outside China Spring Elementary School. While in custody, authorities discovered Ozment was not in compliance with sex offender registration requirements.Like Blaze News?

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance torched Vice President Kamala Harris (D) after she announced that her second interview would be with a liberally biased MSNBC host. The Harris-Walz campaign announced that the presidential candidate would be interviewed by Stephanie Ruhle, a former editor and news anchor for Bloomberg News. Harris has been criticized for refusing to answer questions from reporters since she seized the nomination from President Joe Biden. 'Kamala runs from tough questions because she can't defend her record.' Vance pounced on the announcement to hammer his political opponents. "This is legitimately pathetic for a person who wants to be president," he wrote on the X platform. "Ruhle has explicitly endorsed Harris. She won't ask hard Qs. Kamala runs from tough questions because she can't defend her record. If you want open borders and high groceries, vote for status quo Kamala."Others pointed out that Ruhle had recently been very vocal in her support for Harris and vehement opposition to Trump while defending Harris for refusing to answer tough questions from the media. "Kamala Harris is not running for perfect. She's running against Trump. We have two choices," said Ruhle while a guest on Bill Maher's show. "And so there are some things you might not know her answer to," she added. "And in 2024, unlike 2016 for a lot of the American people, we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is, and the kind of threat he is to democracy." Ruhle's interview with Harris will be broadcast Wednesday evening. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

One of the most striking games featured in last night's State of Play event from PlayStation was The Midnight Walk. Created by MoonHood, a new studio formed by developers responsible for Lost in Random, Fe, and Ghost Giant, the game channels the eerie storybook feel of Little Nightmares, Darq, or Fran Bow. It's a fantastic, confidently grim-looking game with excellent creature designs, and, luckily, we've just learned that it's now confirmed to launch not just on PlayStation, as yesterday's announcement stated, but also on PC.

It nearly wasn’t quite so easy, however, as its developer Bloober Team has recounted.
