Missing ECSU Student’s Body Found; Bridgeport Man Charged with Murder

Alyssiah Marie Wiley’s body was found Friday in near Bridgeport-Trumbull line, identified Saturday through DNA testing

Hours after a body found on the Bridgeport-Trumbull line Friday was identified as that of a missing Eastern Connecticut State University student, a Bridgeport man was charged in her kidnapping and killing.

Jermaine Richards, 30, of 115 Beardsley Park Terrace in Bridgeport was charged with first-degree kidnapping and murder Saturday in the killing of Alyssiah Marie Wiley, a 20-year-old Eastern Connecticut State University student who went missing from campus April 20. He is being held on $2 million bond and will be arraigned Monday in Bridgeport Superior Court.

State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance said in a release Saturday that they also seized evidence related to Wiley’s killing from Richards’ home.

It’s not clear what, if any, connection WIley had with Richards, though several television stations reported that they were dating.

Wiley’s body was found Friday in a wooded area on the Bridgeport-Trumbull line, some 80 miles from the Willimantic campus where she was last seen almost a month ago. The 20-year-old was positively identified Saturday through DNA testing. Her cause of death is not yet known, and state police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said in a release that she will be autopsied by the state medical examiner to determine how she died.

Wiley was last seen in Willimantic on April 20 as she made her way back to her on-campus apartment at Eastern from a Dairy Queen on Main Street, a few blocks away. University police searched for her after her roommate reported her missing, then State Police joined in the search on April 24.

Her family appealed to the public for information at a news conference on May 2. Her parents said Wiley wanted to go to medical school and get a doctorate in psychology.

“She is not a young lady who would walk away,” her mother, Corrine Martin, said then.

Police located a car tied to her disappearance in Bridgeport on April 26, but have not yet released the identity of its owner. They searched for Wiley at several sites throughout eastern Connecticut and greater Bridgeport before finding her Friday. Her body was found Friday morning when a state police search-and-rescue unit, using cadaver dogs, searched the wooded area off Quarry Road in Trumbull, Vance said. In the area is a busy multiplex movie theater and the city of Bridgeport’s parks department offices.

Plane Makes Belly Landing at Newark Airport

A U.S. Airways official said a jet with 34 people aboard was forced to make a belly landing early this morning at Newark Liberty International Airport after experiencing landing gear trouble. No injuries were reported.

The turboprop plane, which was operated by Piedmont Airlines, departed Philadelphia before 11 p.m. Friday to make the short flight to Newark, U.S. Airways spokesman Davian Anderson told ABC News.

He said tower operators tried to help the pilot troubleshoot when the landing gear remained in a retracted position. After a couple attempts, he said the decision was made to execute a belly landing.

Sparks flew upon landing, but the pilot managed to keep the airplane on the runway and the wings level.

The 31 passengers and the three crew on board were evacuated and bused to the terminal.

Anderson said U.S. Airways believes the mechanical issue was an isolated problem.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident.

2nd Suspect Arrested in New Orleans Shooting

Akein Scott (New Orleans Parish Prison)

Updated Friday, May 17, 9:05 a.m. EDT: After Akein Scott, 19, was arrested Wednesday night, his brother Shawn Scott, 24, was arrested on Thursday, the Los Angeles Times reports. Four other people have been arrested for allegedly harboring the fugitives during an intense manhunt, officials said Thursday.

Earlier: 

The Associated Press is reporting that 19-year-old Akein Scott, the suspect in the New Orleans Mother’s Day parade shooting that wounded 19 people, faces 20 charges of attempted second-degree murder.

Out on bond at the time he committed the crime, he was arrested Wednesday night in New Orleans. Scott was already facing a charge of gun and drug possession.

Police have not established a motive and haven’t said whether they know the identity of the shooter’s target. Officials initially said three people were spotted running away from the shooting scene, but Scott has been the only suspect identified publicly.

Investigators launched an intense search for Scott, with police Superintendent Ronal Serpas urging him to surrender at a news conference Monday and warning the teen that “we know more about you than you think we know.” At one point, SWAT team members and U.S. marshals served a search warrant at one location but did not find Scott.

Police offered a $10,000 reward in the case, and investigators received several tips after images from the surveillance camera were released.

  • Two trains collided and one derailed shortly after 6 p.m. Friday in the vicinity of Commerce Drive along the Fairfield-Bridgeport line.

    FAIRFIELD — Two Metro-North Railroad trains collided and one derailed shortly after 6 p.m. Friday in the vicinity of Commerce Drive along the Fairfield-Bridgeport line.

    “At this stage, we don’t know if this is a mechanical failure, an accident or something deliberate,” said Fairfield Police spokesman Lt. James Perez.

Pastor Arrested For Watching Child Porn During Shift At Disney World

This story is wrong on so many levels, that it’s almost unreal. A pastor in Florida was arrested  Tuesday (May 14) for allegedly watching child porn during his shift at Disney World.

Cedric Cuthbert has served as pastor of the  Historic St. James Methodist Episcopal Church for three years, and moonlit as a custodial manager at Disney World.  It was there that the 49-year-old was busted for reportedly trying to solicit a minor, in addition to possessing the porn, Orange County Police said.

Cuthbert used his church computer to gain access to his disgusting fetish and tried the same move on the Disney World computer, but an Internet firewall got in the way. Officials at the theme park contacted authorities last month, after they learned that he was trying to access the sites.

Investigators found that Cuthbert used the same computer from his dirty viewing party, to pen two sermons. He also sent messages to young girls writing sick things like “you are so cute! Great sexy bodi! Send me a private vid.”

For now, the now ex-pastor is prohibited from working at any AME Church, pending a meeting to be held in September. The bishop of the district’s Florida AME churches apologized for Cuthbert’s behavior. “We are surprised and extremely disappointed by the alleged illicit behavior of the Reverend Cedric Cuthbert,” the statement read. The Eleventh Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church apologizes to all families and communities, especially the City of Sanford and the members of St. James AME Church, that have been hurt by Reverend Cuthbert’s alleged actions…Reverend Cuthbert has been relieved of all of his pastoral duties.”

Meanwhile, Cuthbert jumped in the apology game as well, writing a letter to Disney, according to the police affidavit.

He is barred from having any contact with children, aside from his 8-year-old and 10-year-old sons.

Man Cuts Off Own Penis During Fight With Girlfriend In Taiwan: Report

The next time he fights with his girlfriend, he won’t be so cocky.

A drunk man in Jilong, Taiwan reportedly used scissors to cut off his own penis and testicles during an argument with his girlfriend, according to Chinese newspaper Kwong Wah Yit Poh, as translated by The Toronto Star Online.

The 46-year-old, whose name has not been released, reportedly flushed his love muscle down the toilet before his girlfriend rushed him to the hospital. By the time he got there, he had fallen into a coma due to blood loss, according to Rocket News 24’s translation of the Japanese-language website Big Globe News.

Doctors said that had the man not flushed his penis, they likely would have been able to reattach it, according to Big Globe News.

With only 1.2 inches of manhood left, the man is reportedly still able to urinate. He has reportedly emerged from his coma and is expected to recover.

Is this story too bizarre to be believed? Maybe, but it’s not the first time a man intentionally dismembered his member. In June 2012, a California man severed his own penis with an X-acto knife.

Man Walks Away With Community Service, After Almost Beating Girlfriend To Death

A thug who attacked his girlfriend in the street has walked free from court after magistrates told him a community sentence is ‘tougher’ than prison.

Toby Hayden, 27, hit his partner of two years in a drunken rage when a cash machine told him he had insufficient funds to withdraw money.

He repeatedly punched Loretta Butterworth, 22, in an assault that ended only when passers-by heard her screaming ‘please help me’.

When police arrived to arrest Hayden, he spat in the face of one officer and tried to gouge out the eyes of another.

 But despite being on a suspended sentence for a previous violent crime, magistrates sentenced him to an 18-month community order with 200 hours of unpaid work and ordered him to complete an anger management course.

Miss Butterworth, who had once considered having children with Hayden, said he had ‘no remorse’ and criticised magistrates for letting him off.

She said she looked ‘like a zombie’ after the attack and still has the outline of a footprint on her forehead.

She added: ‘When I found out that he had walked free my heart sank. I was shocked and angry.

‘He definitely should have gone to prison. He had previous convictions, he had been violent to people before, he was on probation when it happened.

A Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest – What’s The Difference?

Many people use heart attack and cardiac arrest interchangeably, but they are actually two entirely different medical conditions. Here are the differences between the two.

Heart attacks are usually painful attacks that are caused by blockage of the arteries that send blood to the heart. The medical term for heart attack is myocardial infarction. Many people do not recognize the symptoms of heart attacks and may wait hours before going to the emergency room.

Seeking medical attention as soon as possible is critical as this may prevent further damage to the heart and possible death. During a heart attack, the patient is awake and the heart continues to beat

 Cardiac “arrest” means just that. The heart is arrested, or stops beating. This is known as sudden cardiac arrest. Patients are also in cardiac arrest when they collapse and their breathing is abnormal. Without CPR and immediate medical treatment, patients in cardiac arrest can die within just minutes. When a person collapses, is unresponsive, and is not breathing normally, they are most likely experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Whether or not the victim survives depends largely upon the immediate response by those in close proximity to the victim to keep the heart beating.

75-Year Old Man Arrested For Running Prostitution Ring At Senior Home

What is the world coming to? James Parham, an elderly man in Englewood, New Jersey, is being accused of running a prostitution ring out of a senior home living facility. According to police, the operation employed both older residents who lived at the facility, and younger women who did not.

Parham, 75, and his alleged co-conspirator, Cheryl Chaney, 66, are also being accused of allowing the use of drugs in their units. Both are being charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a nuisance.

Police say drug use was not only happening within the units, but also in the hallways, stairwells, and lobby of the senior living facility. Some residents said they feared for their lives because of the criminal element at the complex. One even told local reporters that he was aware of the prostitution ring.

So far, no prostitutes were arrested.

Jaime Foxx Working On Scripted Series Based on Relationship with his Daughter

Jamie Foxx and TNT have decided to turn the pair’s father-daughter relationship into a new scripted series for the network.

The new show will be titled “Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me,” and will follow this premise:

Every teenager is embarrassed by his/her parents. But what if your dad decided to descend upon your life in every way? Inspired by Jamie Foxx’s relationship with his 18-year-old daughter, this comedy explores the dynamic between a parent and a child and all the embarrassment that comes with it.

Jamie Foxx will executive produce and handle scripting along with a couple other people, which means he’ll likely be completely off-screen rather than in front of it as we usually see. And even though the show is only based on Jamie’s relationship with his daughter.
