Tip leads to Dallas raid and baby Sofia rescue
A late Friday tip directed Dallas SWAT to a Signet Street home where 10 day old Sofia Gonzales, kidnapped from her Wichita mother Laura Abarca-Nogueda after the mother was killed, was found alive. Yesenia Sesmas, a 34 year old Texas resident, was arrested on murder and kidnapping charges. Authorities credit Wichita police the FBI and Dallas officials for the coordinated effort that recovered Sofia and brought her safely back to her family.

Banda case stalled as judge weighing cannabis defense
Judge Douglas Wurst paused proceedings in the Banda case while considering a competency challenge. The defendant, known for promoting cannabis oil for Crohn's disease, faced custody removal of her 11 year old son after police and the DCF investigated drug activity at her home. A pretrial conference was halted pending ruling on competency and related motions. Banda has sued in federal court in Wichita alleging violations of her rights to use cannabis medicinally and to retain custody.
