BOULDER JUNCTION, Wis., (UPI) --
An ultra-rare gathering was caught on camera in northern Wisconsin when
footage was captured of three albino deer in a single location.
The three albino deer were recorded Wednesday in a field with two normal-colored deer near Boulder Junction in Northern Vilas County.
Albino deer are extremely rare, occurring about once in every 20,000 deer births.
Two albino deer were previously photographed playing together in the same area in 2013.
The albino trait is so rare that Wisconsin bans hunters from shooting white deer.
BOWIE, Texas, (UPI) -- A small town in Texas has constructed a record-breaking monument -- the world's largest Bowie Knife.
The town of Bowie, Texas, which -- like the knife -- was named after Alamo defender Jim Bowie, unveiled the 20-foot-long, 3,000-pound, stainless steel knife on Thursday.
"For Bowie, we are hoping to get people off of the highway and into
town," Diana Thomlinson, executive director of the Bowie Chamber of
Commerce, told KFDX 3. "We want them to spend their money of course, but we want them to see there is so much to do and see in Bowie.
Thomlinson also said that the knife was funded using private funds.
It will be dedicated to Bowie in a ceremony in June, with plans to
submit it for consideration in the Guinness World Records.
"It will be a record," she said. "We're intending to have [officials for Guinness World Records] at our dedication ceremony."
NORTH BERGEN — A North Bergen man has been arrested after allegedly masturbating on a Manhattan-bound subway line on March 19, according to the New York City Police Department.
On March 21, the department tweeted a photo of a man wanted for masturbating on the R train, asking for tips.
According to police, at 3:10 p.m. on March 19, when the "R" train was
entering the Elmhurst Avenue subway station, the suspect "put his hand
inside his pants and masturbated as he stared" at a 33-year-old woman. Man seen masturbating multiple times in Bayonne alleyway, cops say
He exited the train at the 59th Street station, police said.
On Tuesday, the suspect — Haljilj Hodzic, 20, of North Bergen — was
arrested, according to a police officer who works for the department's
public information office.
Officials said in a press release that the photos were taken by the victim with her cell phone.
Hodzic was charged with public lewdness, disorderly conduct and harassment, according to the public information officer.

CENTENNIAL,
Colo. (AP) — A man charged with fatally shooting one neighbor and
injuring two others repeatedly disrupted his first court appearance,
telling a judge "God's got this."
Kevin
Lee Lyons, 46, faces charges of first-degree murder in the Monday
afternoon attack on a residential street in suburban Denver. The Denver
Post (http://dpo.st/1YdW22Q ) reports Lyons talked over a judge during a
Tuesday hearing, where he was ordered jailed without bond.
Lyons' public defender raised doubts about his mental health.
The
Arapahoe County coroner says 65-year-old physician Kenneth Robert
Atkinson died of two gunshots to the head and torso. Lyon's wife,
44-year-old Elizabeth Lyons, and 46-year-old Laurie Juergens were also
shot but expected to recover.
Neighbors say Lyons was married father who owned a construction company. Authorities haven't said what led up to the violence.

Right now, rap boogeyman and former Death Row Records CEO is in jail, facing a possible life sentence after he killed a man in a hit-and-run on the set of the movie Straight Outta Compton.
Although the surroundings are idyllic, the property itself shows signs of decay.
Los Angeles - The three-storey home at 2475 Glendower Place ought to be one of the most desirable properties in Los Angeles.
Built
in 1925, in the then fashionable Spanish Revival style, it sits in the
leafy hills above the Los Feliz neighbourhood, at the fringes of
Griffith Park and with a panoramic view of the city below. Birds chirp
in the nearby trees, a bougainvillea tumbles over a neighbour's wall.
This week, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house went on the market for
$2.75m (about R33m) - a steal, given its size and location.
But there's a caveat, and it's one that could be a deal-breaker for superstitious buyers.
Although
the surroundings are idyllic, the property itself shows signs of decay.
The terraced lawn is patchy, the concrete driveway is cracked and there
are stains the colour of dirty dishwater on the stucco façade. Legend
states that nobody has lived in the 5 050-sq ft. house for almost 60
years - ever since a grisly, unexplained murder-suicide took place at
the property. Google the address and you'll find 2475 Glendower has
another name: the Los Feliz Murder House.
At 4.30am on 6 December, 1959, the home's then-owner, Dr Harold
Perelson, bludgeoned his wife Lillian to death as she slept. He then
went to the bedroom of the couple's teenage daughter, Judye, and
attacked her with the bloody hammer. But he managed only a glancing blow
- enough to wake the 18-year-old, but not to kill her. She screamed and
ran from the house. When the commotion woke the Perelsons' younger
children, who were 13 and 11, their father told them: “Go back to bed.
This is a nightmare.”
Judye, bleeding and distraught, woke a
neighbour, who made it into the house in time to find Dr Perelson
guzzling pills. The 50-year-old cardiologist was dead before the
ambulance arrived. Police found him lying on the floor beside his wife's
bed, with a copy of Dante's Divine Comedy open at the first canto of
the Inferno: “Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a
forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.”
The
motives for the awful crime were unclear. Police speculated that the
doctor had become engulfed by financial difficulties. It is thought he
had previously attempted suicide. Local LA historian Kim Cooper points
to the case of Martha Taft, who, four months after the Perelson murder,
bludgeoned her husband to death with a hammer as he slept in their
Pasadena mansion - 10 or so miles from Los Feliz - and then tried to
poison herself.
“At her trial, a toxicologist testified that based
on her intake of prescribed drugs including Equanil - also known as
Miltown - she would have been completely unaware of what she was doing
and behaving as if in a trance,” Mr Cooper says. “The judge agreed,
because at the time there were so many incidents being reported of
people who were taking these drugs to regulate their moods and would
have these terrible breakdowns. Martha Taft was freed. And a doctor like
[Perelson] would certainly have had access to the same drugs.”
2475
Glendower was sold through probate the year after the incident, to a
couple, Emily and Julian Enriquez, who furnished some of its interior,
but - so the story goes - never actually moved in. When Emily died in
1994, the property passed to their son, Rudy, a music store manager from
nearby Washington Heights. He also never lived there permanently and
the house was allowed to descend further into neglect.
In more
recent years, the home has become a destination for ghost-hunters, LA
crime tourists and the morbidly curious. As its reputation has spread,
stories and images circulated online from those brave enough to have
climbed the steep steps to the house, peered through the dusty windows
and, in some cases, crept warily inside. One visitor examined packaged
food and magazines, another claimed to have seen a Christmas tree
surrounded by unwrapped presents. The furnishings were from the
mid-Century, they said, suggesting the home had been crystallised in
time on that gory night in 1959.
One of the property's earliest
owners was Frederik Zelnik, a celebrated silent film director whose
final work was the 1939 murder mystery I Killed The Count. Now, the
story of the Murder House is being developed as a Hollywood horror
movie, based on a long-form article by British journalist Jeff Maysh.
Though
the deaths at 2475 Glendower were chilling, they are not nearly so
notorious as several other LA slayings of the later 20th Century, such
as the Tate-LaBianca killings, the OJ Simpson trial or the so-called
Wonderland murders of 1981. What sets the Perelson murder-suicide apart,
however, is the scene of the crime.
10050 Cielo Drive, where
Sharon Tate and her friends were slaughtered by the Manson Family, was
demolished in the 1990s, just like Simpson's Rockingham estate. The Los
Feliz home of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca - also Manson Family victims -
was sold, renamed and occupied by new owners after their murder. So too
was the house at 8763 Wonderland Avenue in Laurel Canyon, where four
people were beaten to death in July 1981.
The legend of the Murder
House persists in large part because the house itself still exists -
apparently, all but untouched. “It's actually rare that these famous
murder houses survive, because of the stigma,” said Mr Cooper, whose
company Esotouric runs several true crime tours of the city. “There's
something very powerful about the idea of a place that hasn't changed.
It hasn't been remodelled, no one else has lived there, it's frozen in
time - and that's probably why this myth has grown as much as it has.”
And
yet, and yet. Has the Murder House really remained untouched for more
than five decades, or is its myth merely the wishful thinking of the
internet age? Several of the items described by trespassers cannot have
been there in 1959, such as a packet of spooky SpaghettiOs, a product
that wasn't even on the market until the 1960s. The Christmas tree, if
it existed at all, probably did not belong to the Perelsons, who were
Jewish.
Rudy Enriquez died last year, with no children, and 2475
Glendower is being sold by estate agent Nancy Sanborn of Berkshire
Hathaway, who specialises in probate sales. From what she has heard,
many of the ghost stories told about the house are untrue. “According to
the neighbours, the Enriquez family did move into the house. Mr and Mrs
Enriquez lived there for years,” Sanborn said. “It's an urban myth that
the house has been empty since the murder.”
It's true that Mr
Enriquez never lived there, but he used the building for storage and
often visited. The neighbours thought he “really enjoyed the attention
it got,” Sanborn added.
Asked about the house by the Los Angeles
Times in 2009, Mr Enriquez insisted: “The only spooky thing there is me.
Tell people to say their prayers every morning and evening and they'll
be okay.”
Its property listing says that 2475 Glendower is
“waiting for that special person looking for a wonderful opportunity to
remodel or develop”. The next owner will be presented with a choice:
tear down the house and rebuild, or renovate the existing one and live
with its history. Sanborn has sold her fair share of murder houses
before; most of her buyers aren't bothered by ghosts, she says. “It's
all about the price at the end of the day. If somebody thinks they're
getting good value, they couldn't care less what happened there.” The Independent
A U.S. student missing for over a week in eastern Siberia has been found dead, Russian investigators said today.
Colin Madsen’s body was found by rescuers about a mile from the village
where the Missouri man had disappeared in the Buryatia region,
investigators said in a statement released by the local branch of
Russia’s Investigative Committee, the equivalent of the FBI.
Russian police had earlier opened a possible murder
inquiry into Madsen's vanishing in the foothills of the Sayan
mountains, roughly 3,000 miles from Moscow, where a search for the
student has been gradually intensifying since last Monday.
But today’s statement said that there were no signs of outward injury on
Madsen’s body or any indication he had been robbed. Investigators said a
cause of death has not yet been established but the statement suggested
that it may be related to drugs.
Police are now testing Madsen’s body for traces of narcotics and the
statement noted that the group with which Madsen had been travelling had
taken drugs in the day before his disappearance.
Police today said the murder inquiry remained open while the full circumstances around Madsen’s death were established.
Madsen, 25, a native of Jefferson City, Missouri, who was studying at a
university in the nearby city of Irkutsk, vanished a week ago early on a
Sunday morning in the Sayan mountains, where he was on a hiking trip
with friends. The manner of his disappearance has puzzled police and his
friends: Madsen left the guest house where the group was staying in the
village of Arshan, without warning at around 5 a.m. and wearing only a
T-shirt and trousers despite freezing temperatures outside. He had not
been seen since.
Dozens of officers, as well as a number of Madsen's local friends, had
been searching forests around the village for him since then.
Madsen had been traveling with three friends, two local Russians and
another American student, on exchange at the same university. The
friends have told police that Madsen had intended to join them on an
early morning hike but when they woke up they found him missing and all
of his equipment still laid out.
A number of Madsen’s friends have told ABC News that it was
uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning in the middle of the
night or without appropriate clothing. The friends traveling with him
have told police Madsen had been behaving normally before he disappeared
and that he was excited for the day’s hike. Police have said the group
had not quarreled in the day before Madsen left.
Madsen had been studying in at Irkutsk State Linguistics University
since 2013 and had repeatedly visited the area around Arshan, friends
said. He knew the area well and spoke fluent Russian.
Madsen’s body has been transferred to the city of Ulan-Ude for testing.
His mother is already in eastern Siberia, where she had arrived to
participate in the search.
Daniel
Shaver, a 26-year-old husband and father of two from Texas, was on a
business trip to Arizona on January 18, when a police officer shot and
killed him in a La Quinta Inn & Suites - as he begged for his life.
Now, according to The Arizona Republic, the officer, Philip "Mitch" Brailsford, is charged with second-degree murder and fired from the Mesa, Arizona police force.
The story of Shaver's death and the aftermath is heartbreaking, angering and, in part, confusing.
A report
that includes eye-witness accounts, audio and video of the incident
reveals that Shaver was on the ground, crying and crawling towards
Brailsford while he pleaded for his life. "Please don't shoot me,"
Shaver said. But Brailsford unloaded five rounds from his AR-15 rifle
into Shaver, who died in a hotel hallway from the bullet wounds.
Shaver's
wife, Laney Sweet, has spent the last several months seeking justice
for her husband's death and now that Brailsford is facing charges, she's
trying to ensure he doesn't strike a plea deal. "I can't bring him
back, but I will fight for justice for him," she told The Arizona Republic. "My kids are absolutely heartbroken and I can't fix it."
In an emotionally charged Facebook post,
Sweet has described not knowing what happened to her husband for a full
48 hours after his death. "I had to do my own investigating after not
hearing from him/him not showing up to work, that led me to call every
hospital, jail and police station searching for answers," she wrote.
"Unfortunately,
I did finally find him when calling the local coroner. No one had the
respect or empathy to call me and our children and tell us that Daniel
had been taken from us. Not only that, but not one detective assigned to
the case has called me back after leaving voice mails seeking answers."
"He
was my best friend," she continued. "The love of my life. A son. A
brother. Many people's friend. The glue that held me together. He was
madly in love with his two daughters."
Shaver
spent 25 days out of every month on the road, according to Sweet, who
said her husband handled pest removal for companies. Part of his job, The Washington Post said, included bringing pellet guns with him where he traveled.
On the evening of Jan. 18, Shaver was in his hotel room with a man and a woman. Reports say
Shaver was likely intoxicated. A person outside the hotel notified
authorities that someone inside one of the rooms had a rifle. At some
point, The Washington Post reported, the man left the room and police arrived, calling Shaver and asking him to step into the hallway.
Body camera-footage, according to The Arizona Republic,
shows Shaver on the ground, his hands above his head. Shaver tried to
raise himself up at one point, when an officer, according to the Republic, told him they'd shoot him if he did that again. "No, please don't shoot me," Shaver said.
Shaver
didn't seem to have a weapon and acting on an officer's orders, he
started crawling towards the police. When he reached the woman's purse,
which was in the hallway, he made a move to crawl past it. Brailsford,
noticing Shaver's hand reach toward his body, yelled "don't" before
shooting him five times. Brailsford told investigators "a million
things" raced through his head during the incident and that he felt
threatened by Shaver on the ground, according to The Washington Post.
"The
use of deadly physical force by law enforcement is governed by Arizona
law and is always a tragedy when the loss of life results," Maricopa
County Attorney Bill Montgomery said, according to The Arizona Republic.
"After carefully reviewing the relevant facts and circumstances, we
have determined that the use of deadly physical force was not justified
in this instance."
In the wake of Shaver's death, his widow's Facebook page has become a regularly chronicle or mourning and sadness.
She has started a GoFundMe page to help cover the cost of general life expenses as well as legal fees. So far, she's raised nearly $25,000.
