A 5 year-old girl named Shaniya Nicole Davis, who had been reported missing last Tuesday (November 10), was found dead in Sanford, N.C., about 30 miles from where she currently lived with her mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, in Fayetteville on Monday (November 16).

The 29 year-old Mario Andrette McNeil, who had been identified as the man caught with the girl in a security video at the Comfort Suites Hotel, was promptly arrested and charged with first-degree kidnapping on Friday (November 13). On Saturday, the mother was also arrested on accusations that she “knowingly provide[d] Shaniya Davis with the intent that she be held in sexual servitude” and she “permit[ted] an act of prostitution.” (mug shots below)

The girl’s father Bradley Lockhart and his sister Carey Lockhart-Davis took care of Shaniya until last month, when her mother finally got a stable job and a place of her own. Both father and aunt made an emotional appeal to whoever had the girl to bring her back safe on CBS’s ‘Early Show’ this morning (watch video below).

Chicago Public Schools Board President Michael Scott’s body was reportedly found floating in the Chicago River on Monday morning (November 16). The body found in the river hasn’t been officially identified yet but evidence leads to believe the body is Scott’s because his car, a Cadillac, was found nearby.

“I’m stunned,” Rev. Jesse Jackson said. “Michael was so effervescent. [He] always had a capacity to solve problems, that’s why people leaned on him. Everyone felt Michael was their guy.”

“My wife and I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Michael Scott,” Cook County Board President Todd Stroger said in a statement. “Mr. Scott was a strong advocate for education. His contributions to the minority communities of Cook County will be sorely missed. In particular, his love for the upward mobility of residents from Chicago’s Westside where he spent his life.”

Scott had been recently subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury looking into the admissions practices of Chicago’s elite schools and was involved in Olympic-related real estate dealings. There are no more details on Scott’s tragic death. He had been reported missing this morning.

Evangelist Tony Alamo, who is the founder and leader of Tony Alamo Christian Ministries, was sentenced to 175 years in prison on ten counts of taking minors across state lines to sexually abuse them on Friday (November 13).

“Given the number of victims and the difficult type of testimony they had to provide in order to get to trial, it’s gratifying for them to see him get this sentence,” Christopher Plumlee, assistant U.S. attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, said. “Not only did they entrust their lives to him, he did it in the name of God. And he betrayed their trust.”

The 75 year-old, whose real name is Bernie Hoffman, denies all claims, saying this is some a major conspiracy against his church: “They’re just trying to make our church look evil … by saying I’m a pornographer. Saying that I rape little children. … I love children. I don’t abuse them. Never have. Never will.”

CNN is reporting that NASA has discovered a significant source of water on the moon in the form of a large chunk of lunar ice.

The discovery is based on preliminary data collected when the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, intentionally crashed October 9 into the permanently shadowed region of Cabeus crater near the moon’s south pole.

NASA: “This isn’t your father’s moon!”

No word yet if Michael Phelps was found practicing his backstroke in said water.

A woman from Connecticut, Charla Nash, who was a victim of a chimpanzee attack back in February, sat down for her first interview and revealed her disfigured face (graphic photo and video below) on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ on Wednesday (November 11).

The 55 year-old woman was attacked by her friend Sandra Herold’s chimp because it felt protective of its owner and didn’t recognize Charla. However, Charla confesses she is not angry and just wants to forget about the terrible incident.

“I don’t even think about it,” Charla told Oprah. “And there’s no time for that anyways because I need to heal, you know, not look backwards. I want to get healthy. I don’t want to wake up with nightmares.”

Charla, who is currently eating through a straw and blind, continues to get treatment at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Her only hope is a complete face transplant (WARNING: graphic photo and video below).

A civilian police officer by the name of Kimberly Munley, who was stationed at the base, shot one of the Fort Hood shooters, Major Nadal Malik Hasan, four times, potentially saving dozens of lives, before getting hit by a bullet.

The shooter identified as Major Hasan, an army psychiatrist due to be posted to Afghanistan, shouted “Allah akbar”, which in Arabic means “God is great” as he opened fire.

Three missing Dickinson State (ND) softball players have been found dead in a car.  The Jeep automobile was pulled from a pond on Wednesday in Dickinson, North Dakota.

The three bodies found inside were Ashley Neufeld, 21; Afton Williamson, 20; and Kyrstin Gemar, 22.

The sunken 1997 Jeep Cherokee was found sunken to the bottom of the 12-foot pond by a search plane flying above it.

The Dickinson State University students were believed to be in the white 1997 Jeep Cherokee with California plates when two of their friends received telephone calls before the lines went dead. Police described the first as a “very scratchy” call for help in which one of the women said they were near a lake and water.

Banyai said the 12-foot-deep pond where the women were found is on a farm northwest of Dickinson, a city of 16,000 people about 100 miles west of Bismarck and 60 miles east of the Montana state line. Vehicle tracks were found leading into the pond Tuesday afternoon, he said.

Local police have ruled out foul play so far.  A memorial service was scheduled to be held Tuesday night on the Dickson State campus.

Former tennis champion Andre Agassi admits to have used crystal meth while he was playing back in 1997 in his new autobiography titled “Open: An Autobiography” to be released on November 9.

Sport Illustrated writer Richard Deitsch broke the news on Twitter [@richarddeitsch: Book excerpt from Andre Agassi in the forthcoming SI: He admits to taking crystal meth during his career.] but the tweet was later deleted.

Paul Bogaards, director of media relations at Knopf, a division of Random House, confirmed the news: “Those excerpts contain revelations about Andre’s use of crystal meth when he was a tennis player”. The official publisher’s description of the book does not mention Agassi’s struggle with drugs.

Agassi did not win any major tournament in 1997 but he won the Olympic gold medal in the 1996 Atlanta Games and the French Open and US Open in 1999. The 39 year-old is currently married to former Grand Slam champion Steffi Graf with whom he has two children.

UPDATE: Released Book Excerpt Offers More Details:

“Slim is stressed too … He says, You want to get high with me? On what? Gack. What the hell’s gack? Crystal meth,” Agassi recounts in the book. “Why do they call it gack? Because that’s the sound you make when you’re high … Make you feel like Superman, dude.

“As if they’re coming out of someone else’s mouth, I hear these words: You know what? F*** it. Yeah. Let’s get high.

“Slim dumps a small pile of powder on the coffee table. He cuts it, snorts it. He cuts it again. I snort some. I ease back on the couch and consider the Rubicon I’ve just crossed.

“There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I’ve never felt so alive, so hopeful — and I’ve never felt such energy,” Agassi says.

“I’m seized by a desperate desire to clean. I go tearing around my house, cleaning it from top to bottom. I dust the furniture. I scour the tub. I make the beds.”

Agassi goes on in the book to tell of how he failed a drug test in 1997 and lied in a letter he wrote to the ATP stating that he mistakenly ingested the drug from a spiked soda.  The ATP discharged the positive test and the incident never came to light until now.

Andre must be desperate to sell books or need some cash because he should have kept this unknown confession buried back in 1997.

UPDATE 2: Rosa Rodriguez & Steve Phillips Mets Affair

Steve Phillips’ wife Marni Phillips is divorcing her husband after he admitted having an affair with ESPN assistant Brooke Hundley (photos here), who harassed and threatened their family after being dumped (read complete details here).

MARNI PHILIPS 911 CALL AUDIO

According to Marni Phillips’ statement to the police the alleged phone calls and text messages started on August 5:

“She reached me via cell phone at 10:30 that evening. I simply told her that I would not accept her phone and promptly hung up. She responded by calling our home and mycell phone repeatedly. It was close to 11 pm and the constant ringing of phone in the house caused stress to myself and my two teenage sons who were awake. I was able to reach Steve who was working late at ESPN in Bristol, CT. He came home that night and revealed to me he had been having a brief consensual affair with a woman named Brooke Hundley at ESPN.”

“On Sunday August 16 my husband called me from Atlanta and told me to brace myself because she was threatening to call me and disclose intimate details of their affair. .. The tone of the text message [she sent] was “I care about Steve, I make him happy and we both can’t have him.”

“At this point I began to feel a heightened sense of vulnerability as this woman was aware of my husband’s rigorous travel schedule. I was unable to sleep. I paced the perimeter of my house, constantly checking the safety of my sons.”

“Needless to say, as a mother with four young sons, I am terrified. I fear greatly for the safety and well being of my sons and for myself. … I am currently pursuing drastic and costly security precautions such as hiring an off duty Wilton Police officer to stand guard.”

San Diego Chargers staff member, Walt Daniels, passed away at Sharp Memorial Hospital after falling out of a press box before the San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos game on Monday night (October 19). Walt was 66 years old.

Richard Heene, the father of Falcon Heene aka Balloon Boy, will most probably face charges for making a false report to authorities - a Class 3 misdemeanor – which led the a crazy hot air balloon chase in rescue of the 6 year-old boy believed to be trapped in the strange aircraft.

“We do anticipate at some point in the future, there will be some criminal charges filed with regards to this incident,” Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said.

However, a misdemeanor “hardly seems serious enough given the circumstances,” the sheriff said.
“We certainly want to talk to FAA officials and federal officials to see if perhaps there aren’t additional federal charges that would be more appropriate in the circumstances than what we’re able to do locally,” he said.

The ‘Balloon Boy’ alleged hoax was revealed when Falcon said on ‘Larry King Live’ that he had done it “for the show” (watch video). The Heene family is also being investigated by child protection services based on reports that the parents “took these children into potentially dangerous situations” with tornado chases, experimental balloons and other activities.

Balloon Boy Faces Charges Video

‘Balloon Boy’ Falcon Heene’s father Richard Heene is planning to make a big announcement at a press conference outside his home on Saturday (October 17). Richard is expected to either deny the hoax or finally admit it while a police investigation is still being conducted.

“I’m going to have a press conference out here at, let’s say, 10 a.m.” he told Denver TV station KUSA before dawn Saturday. “I’d like to speak everybody about a few things. Okay? So, it’s a big announcement.”

UPDATED: Richard came out of the house. “News networks interrupt programming to air “major announcement” from balloon boy dad, only to tell reporters to put questions in a box”, according to Breaking News. Balloon Boy’s daddy, who is clearly playing the media, just said, “Absolutely no hoax, put your questions in the box.”

Balloon Boy Throws Up On Today Show

6 month-old baby boy survived with minor injuries (just a small bump on his head) an unbelievable incident at the Ashburton train station in Australia. In the security video, the mom is spotted taking her hands off the baby stroller’s handles for a bit just to watch it roll off the platform just seconds before the train hits the stroller.

“Luckily, he was strapped into his pram at the time, which probably saved his life. I think the child’s extremely lucky,” the paramedic said. “Fortunately the train was slowing as it pulled into the station.”

The baby boy was rescued safe and sound. It’s a real miracle! The ‘Balloon Boy’ story is just ridiculous compared to this, not to mention the boy was used for a major publicity stunt (story details and photos + video).

The Balloon Boy drama that prompted a huge air rescue operation to save Falcon Heene, son of “Wife Swap” Richard and Mayumi Heene, was nothing but a hoax, a major publicity stunt.

After the boy was found hiding in the attic at home, the Heene family was invited for a special appearance on ‘Larry King Live’ and that was when Falcon revealed he had been hiding because “we did this for the show” (watch video below).

In an interview with CNN, Falcon said he had heard his family calling his name.”Why didn’t you come out?” Richard Heene asked. Falcon answered: “You had said that we did this for a show.”

When asked to clarify the comments later, Heene bristled. “I’m kind of appalled after all the feelings that I went through, up and down, that you guys are trying to suggest something else,” he said.

The father denied the drama was a publicity stunt. “That’s horrible after the crap we just went through. No.”

Richard suddenly got all nervous after the boy revealed their secret. They should know better than trust a 6 year-old to play along and try to make everyone believe the family was truly scared that their kid was up there in that balloon. At the end of the day we are just glad the boy is alive but we do not understand how parents can use their children like that.

The 6 year-old ‘balloon boy’ Falcon Heene has been found safe and sound in a box in the attic at his family’s Fort Collins home after an insane hot air balloon chase on Thursday (October 15).

Authorities considered the worst when the boy, who had been seen getting into the homemade aircraft, was not found inside the balloon’s basket after a soft landing near Keenesburg, about 60 miles from its starting point in Fort Collins.

Falcon’s parents, science enthusiasts Richard Heene and Mayumi Heene, were featured on the 100th episode of ABC’s prime-time reality show “Wife Swap” back in March (photos + video).

UPDATE: BALLOON BOY FALCON HEENE FOUND ALIVE

Falcon Heene, a 6 year-old boy, is currently missing after reportedly climbing inside an experimental aircraft with a large helium balloon attached at the family home on Fossil Ridge Road in Fort Collins on Thursday (October 15).

Falcon’s father Richard Heene is a storm chaser and scientist who was working on the aircraft as a potential commuting craft that can rise as high as 10,000 feet. The balloon has landed in a large, open field, but the police found no one inside, which suggest the boy may have fallen out during the flight.

Richard, his wife Mayumi Heene and their kids have appeared on the reality series “Wife Swap” and were described as “storm-chasing, science-obsessed Heene family from Colorado”.
