LAKEVILLE, Minn
"A 23-year-old man, Jack Joseph Ball, used numerous sharp objects to kill and dismember his pregnant sister, Bethany Ann Israel, in his home in Lakeville..."
"Israel's mother called police shortly after 11 p.m. and said she feared her daughter might be dead inside the home. The mother told responding officers that Israel went to the home to have dinner with her brother that evening, but family had not heard from her and were concerned.
The mother added that when she arrived at the home, she saw Ball hurriedly leaving the house. She said she went inside and saw a large amount of blood.
Officers looked inside and saw a substantial amount of blood on the kitchen floor and in and around the sink. They also saw a saw, hatchet and large knives with blood on them. A further search of the home revealed body parts.
Police also found several journals and other writings by Ball in the home. In one, he wrote that he was mad at Israel for being pregnant and "no longer innocent."
The mother disclosed to police that Ball may have gone to a cemetery in Rosemount, where relatives are buried.
A 911 call from a Rosemount resident revealed that a man who turned out to be Ball showed up on a doorbell camera.
Officers went to that address, where they located a body part from Israel."
He was arrested in a backyard with self-inflicted wounds to the neck and remains in the hospital.
