Shocking Ring camera footage leaves Alabama neighborhood on edge as naked man prowls properties
Families in a quiet Alabama suburb say they're living in fear after a naked man was caught creeping across their lawns in the dead of night - and it's all been caught on chilling Ring camera footage. Residents of the Tillman's Corner neighborhood in Mobile say the nude prowler has been spotted multiple nights in a row, wandering out of the woods and brazenly approaching homes - sometimes holding what appears to be a weapon. One startled woman told local FOX affiliate WALA that she was searching through security footage to find her missing cat when she made the disturbing discovery. She had been checking her security cameras in search of her cat when she was stunned to spot the completely naked man - wearing nothing but socks - strolling past her home. Moments later, the footage showed him wandering into her backyard and circling around the parked cars. But it wasn't just the man's lack of clothing that disturbed her. 'This guy had something in his hand,' she said. 'I don't know what it was. I don't know if it was a lawn mower blade or something like that.' She said the footage showed the man strolling directly into her backyard, just moments before her husband stepped out for work. 'My husband went out to get ready for work just 15 minutes after the video was taken,' she added. 'So I was a little concerned once I saw him in the backyard.' And she's not alone. Several neighbors say they've also seen the naked intruder. One local mother said the situation has left her deeply unsettled, fearing the emotional impact it could have on her children. 'It's scary,' the woman said. 'I have kids here so I'll be worried about them seeing that and having to explain it. So it's just a nightmare having them being traumatized like that, knowing 'well if I go outside, what if that man's out there?'' The repeated sightings have shaken the neighborhood, prompting several families to boost their home security. Some have installed surveillance cameras and motion-activated lights to deter the intruder, making sure every angle of their property is covered. While the man's identity and the object he's carrying remain unknown, residents say they won't feel safe until he's found. 'We received one call on June, 9, 2025, matching this description. Officers were unable to make contact with a subject and cleared the call to service another one,' the a representative from the Mobile Police Department said in a statement to

Minnesota shootings suspect was a 'prepper', FBI says
The suspect accused of fatally shooting a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband in a gun rampage last week was a doomsday "prepper", according to the wife of the accused, Vance Boelter, told investigators the family was among a small group of Americans who "prepare for major or catastrophic incidents", said a court 57, has been charged with killing Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, last also seriously wounded Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. Police say there is evidence he was planning to target others. Police captured Mr Boelter in woods last Sunday after a two-day wife was pulled over in a traffic stop hours after the shootings. She was taking their four children to stay with friends, according to investigators. Jenny Boelter told the authorities her husband had warned her in a message that she should flee, documents show. "The text stated something to the effect of they should prepare for war, they needed to get out of the house and people with guns may be showing up to the house," wrote FBI agent, Terry Getsch, in an affidavit released on her car, investigators found about $10,000 in cash, passports and two guns. Mrs Boelter has not been charged with any said her husband had given her a "bailout plan", for what to do if she ever needed to leave the Boelter also said her husband had a business partner in the north-western US state of Washington and that they ran a security company and "fishing outfit" called "Red Lion" in Congo, Africa. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a Democrat, has called the shootings an "act of targeted political violence".According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, Mr Boetler wrote a rambling and incoherent letter addressed to the FBI in which he claimed the state's governor had ordered him to kill Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar as part of a supposed plot for Walz to take her spot in the Senate. There is no evidence of any such and Minnesota's other US senator, Tina Smith, along with Walz, were among Democratic politicians on a list of around 70 targets found in Mr Boetler's possession, according to local suspect disguised himself as a police officer to gain access to the homes of the two US lawmakers he shot, police have said. He was wearing a vest with a Taser and a badge. Yvette Hoffman, who survived the attack, was released from the hospital on Thursday, while her husband remains in care. Mrs Hoffman was shot while shielding her daughter, Hope, from gunfire. It was Hope who called 911.
