The 234 Apartment

DENHAM SPRINGS , LA (WAFB) - It's been a while since Dr. Ben Carson has visited south Louisiana , but he returned to the area Monday to tour areas hit hard by last year’s historic flood and check in on how the state is handling the HUD dollars allocated to help. Dr. Carson actually hasn't been in the Capital area since 2015, which was before he was named secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). He was scheduled to hold a press conference at 4:15 p.m. about his trip, but that was pushed back as the schedule got slightly behind.  During this trip, he toured Denham Springs housing with Mayor Gerard Landry , Congressman Garret Graves , US Sen. John Kennedy and Governor John Bel Edwards . “I would like to thank Sec. Carson and his wife, Candy, for accepting my invitation to come down to Louisiana to tour the flood damage and witness firsthand the efforts being made by local, state, and federal officials to recover, fully, from the devastating flood ...

Johnson Chrome was a notorious big spender with a taste for bottle service , bespoke suits and $10,000 shoes. The source of his wealth? A sophisticated identity theft scheme that may have conned Torontonians out of millions. The untold story of the city’s most wanted fraudster Photographs: All portraits via Facebook; background by iStock T he fraudster who called himself Johnson Chrome liked to sit on a bench at the intersection of Hazelton and Yorkville, smoking a Montecristo Edmundo robusto and talking about fashion, cars and cigars to anyone who’d listen.

Crime Lyra Radford August 9, 2017 The criminal justice system can be a bit tricky. Even if investigators think they know who committed a crime, they still have to be able to link a suspect to the scene without a shadow of a doubt. This is great for those wrongfully accused, but it’s downright infuriating when it helps the guilty get away with murder. Between stalled police investigations , poorly collected evidence , and subpar autopsy performances , the incompetence of the living can be enough to make the dead roll over in their graves. Or perhaps rise right up to solve their murder cases themselves. 10 The Ghost Of Fred Fisher Had To Point Out Where His Body Was In 1826, Australian farmer Frederick Fisher vanished .
