CAPTURE UPDATE May 12, 2021 - The U.S. Marshals led Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force says one of its top ten most wanted fugitives, Ricky Jackson, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Las Vegas on Friday, May 7th.
Marshals say after briefly barricading himself inside a home in the 10000 block of Cherry Brook St., Jackson was taken into custody and booked into the Clark County Jail, pending extradition to King County. The goal of the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force is to bring together resources from federal, state and local law enforcement, utilize the specialized skills they bring to the table and apprehend violent offenders, Chief Deputy Richard Craig stated. Fugitives like these are why this task force was created. No matter how long it takes, the experienced investigators on these teams will find you.

May is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and it is held annually to raise community awareness of the social and personal impacts of domestic and family violence and the support available to those affected. For this reason, Sydney Observer has aimed to shed light on one of the red flags that people should look out for in potentially dangerous relationships, whether it be romantic or platonic.

Gaslighting can occur with the slightest of issues involving elements of deception, false accusations and exaggerations, ultimately done in order for the perpetrator to gain control of the individual that they are gaslighting. It is a term that has caught the world by storm in 2021, so Sydney Observer thought it best to unpack exactly what is gaslighting?
