TRUE CRIME
An Oak Cliff woman allegedly faked a pregnancy for months before shooting a 27-yearold Kansas City woman and kidnapping her 6-day-old baby. Yesenia Sesmas is accused of shooting an acquaintance, Laura Abarca-Nogueda, and kidnapping her daughter Sophia, who was found unharmed inside Sesmas’ home following a nationwide hunt and the woman’s arrest by the Dallas SWAT unit. Local police in Dallas and Kansas, as well as the FBI, conducted the investigation. Sesmas was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping out of Kansas.

Let There Be Peace On Jefferson
The 17-foot sculpture unveiled in December on Jefferson Boulevard is the culmination of a two-year project. Titled Piece 24, the artwork is a collaboration between artist Karen Blessen, real estate investor Craig Schenkel and Adamson and Sunset high school students, who were selected by Blessen’s nonprofit 29 Pieces and earned $250 in scholarship money for every 30 hours they worked.
New Year’s resolutions are a chance to do better for your body and mind. Stick to your resolutions all year with these tips:
1. Start small — If your aim is to exercise more, plan to work out three or four days a week instead of seven.
2. Be realistic — Don’t reassess everything in your life. Instead, evaluate one behavior at a time.
3. Talk it out — Share your successes and failures with a friend who will keep you accountable.
4. Be kind to yourself — Perfection is unattainable. Resolve to recover from any setbacks without beating yourself up.
5. Ask for support — Strengthen your ability to handle the stress of changing your behavior by accepting help from those who care. LocalWorks.advocatemag.com
