Wisconsin Father Charged with Child Neglect After Thanksgiving Fire Kills His Three Children


Wisconsin Father Charged with Child Neglect After Thanksgiving Fire Kills His Three Children

KENOSHA, Wis. — A 39-year-old father is facing three felony counts of child neglect resulting in death after a devastating apartment fire on Thanksgiving night 2025 claimed the lives of his three young children.

Joshua Kannin was charged Tuesday following the blaze that killed 10-year-old Rylee Kannin, 9-year-old Connor Kannin, and 7-year-old Alena Kannin at his home on the 5200 block of 43rd Avenue.

According to the criminal complaint, Kannin told investigators he woke up to a small fire in the kitchen but panicked and ran to a neighbor for help instead of first trying to rescue his children. By the time firefighters arrived, the apartment was fully engulfed in flames.

Kannin later claimed he attempted to re-enter the burning home after hearing his children’s cries but was forced to turn back due to thick, overwhelming smoke. He was hospitalized for smoke inhalation.

Investigators determined the fire started accidentally when the children, who were likely trying to make food late at night, left a stove burner on. Items on or near the stove caught fire and spread rapidly.

Compounding the tragedy, Kannin admitted to police that he had removed or unplugged the smoke detectors in the apartment beforehand because they were “annoying” — an act prosecutors say contributed to the deadly outcome by delaying any warning.

Two of the children, Rylee and Connor, were pronounced dead at the scene. Alena was airlifted to a Milwaukee hospital with severe burns but succumbed to her injuries later.

The children’s mother, Jourdan Feasby, confronted Kannin at the hospital in the aftermath, reportedly asking him, “You couldn’t grab the kids first?” Months later, she described her grief as “hell here on Earth,” calling her children inseparable—“the three little amigos.”

Authorities have emphasized there is no evidence Kannin intentionally started the fire. However, they argue his decisions—failing to ensure working smoke alarms and prioritizing his own escape—amounted to criminal neglect.

Kannin is not currently in custody and is scheduled to make his initial court appearance in mid-May. If convicted on all counts, he could face up to 75 years in prison.

The case has left a community mourning three young lives lost in a preventable tragedy and a mother still searching for closure.

   Earlier this month, the death of a 19-year-old LSU sophomore shook an entire community—and as more details emerge, the story has only become more disturbing. Madison Brooks, a young woman with her whole life ahead of her, died after what investigators describe as a series of horrific events following a night out in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Authorities have confirmed that her cause of death was multiple traumatic injuries. However, the full circumstances surrounding her death remain under investigation. What is known so far is deeply troubling. The Night of January 15, 2023 In the early hours of January 15, around 3:00 a.m., a rideshare driver was traveling through a dark stretch of road in Baton Rouge when something unexpected happened—a sudden impact.

Emergency services rushed her to the hospital, but despite efforts to save her, she die...

"EVEN THE JUDGE BROKE DOWN… WHAT HE DID TO HIS 15-YRS-OLD NIECE WAS SO HORRIFIC POLICE NEEDED THERAPY

 Mr. 54 can help you. Yes, I wonder if you can um your daughter 15. And how long have you been missing? I think in the last hour, Hampshire police have confirmed that the body found in Woodland near Fleet is the missing school girl Millie Dowler. Forensic teams have been examining the remains all day and tests have been carried out this afternoon.   The police made this statement. Our worst fears have been confirmed, and I can now tell you that the search for Millie has changed from a missing person inquiry into a murder investigation. She walked out her front door at 7:55 in the morning. School uniform, backpack, ponytail, just a regular Monday. Just a 15-year-old girl doing what 15-year-old girls do, heading to class, probably thinking about lunch, probably thinking about her friends, probably thinking about anything except the fact that she would never make it to school that day.

"I AM ADOLF H*ITLER" 128 YEAR OLD ARGENTINA MAN CLAIMS HE LIVED IN HIDING FOR 70 YEARS

Image
A man in Argentina stepped forward and made a claim so unbelievable, most people laughed it off at first. He said he wasn’t just anyone. He said he was Adolf Hitler. And according to him… he had never died. At first, it sounded like confusion. Maybe even a cry for attention. But then he kept talking. He claimed he had fled Europe at the end of World War II, escaping the collapse of everything around him. He described a long journey, one that ended in South America—far from the chaos, far from the eyes of the world. He said he spent nearly 70 years hiding. Seventy. That’s not just hiding… that’s disappearing. The story spread quickly. Too quickly. Because this wasn’t a new idea. For decades, rumors have lingered in the shadows—whispers that Hitler might have escaped, that he never died in a bunker, that he found refuge somewhere far away. And somehow, this man’s claim slipped right into those old fears. It gave them a face. A voice. And just enough detail to make people pause. But here’...
