The jury in the murder trial of an Iowa teenager heard on Wednesday a disturbing 911 call in which the 13-year-old suspect admitted to killing his own mother after a failed attempt to rape her.

Crooks, who is now 14, was charged with first-degree murder and assault with intent to commit sexual abuse in the March 24, 2012, slaying of his mother, 37-year-old Gretchen Crooks.

In the 911 recording made on the night of the murder at the family’s Osage home, Noah Crooks could be heard telling dispatcher Barb Michael: ‘I’m not joking at all. She’s dead. I’m scared. I killed my mom with my .22. I don’t know why I did it.’

About six months earlier, the FBI investigated Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, also at Russia’s request, one of the officials said. The FBI found no ties to terrorism.

Though videos surfaced online as early as October, the challenge recently picked up speed with one YouTube user’s post, where a girl completes the challenge while blasting Taylor Swift’s “22″ in the background — probably not what the singer had in mind when she wrote the song.

We at HuffPost Weird News hope that by looking through a slideshow of teens snorting condoms, Continue reading →
