Cat serial killer stalks Miami

At least two dozen Floridian cats are believed to be victims of a sadistic cat-killer in the Miami area.

Residents of the Miami-Dade area have been advised in a recent press release by Palmetto Bay Mayor Eugene Flinn to exercise caution with their beloved feline companions.

“Residents should keep their cats inside their homes until it has been determined who or what has caused these deaths and there is no longer a threat to the feline population of the village.”

Theories regarding the nature of the killings are mixed. Some residents and local law enforcement officials blame other animals, citing reports of a roving pitbull. Other officers investigating believe a human is responsible for at least some of the killings. Further alarming residents and the law alike is the preponderance of serial killers of humans cutting their teeth on watching animals suffer and die. Jeffrey Dahmer is known to have trapped, tortured and killed animals as a child before graduating to hunting his fellow humans.

A resident described her horror upon finding her family pet murdered to a Tampa Bay Fox affiliate:

“We come outside, and we find Sarah lying on the ground over here…at which point, we just assumed that she was hit by a vehicle. Half of her face was missing,” Alicia Glazer said. “There was no blood anywhere. So we are dealing with someone that is methodical, calculating, knows exactly what he or she is doing.”

Yesterday was by far the deadliest for Miami cats, seeing five cats murdered, mutilated and left in their owner’s yards.

The reward for information leading to the person or persons responsible in the case has climbed to $15,000, and anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.

Hanalei Bay Named Nation’s Best Beach

JR — Fri, 22 May 2009 16:03:24 +0000

Hawaii’s Hanalei Bay is the best beach in America, according to a new list released by a guy who calls himself “Dr. Beach.”

Stephen P. Leatherman (oddly fitting last name for a dude who spends his days basking in the sun) published his annual “America’s Best Beaches” list this week. Leatherman — er, sorry, Dr. Beach — says he looked at dozens of different factors in making his selections. Everything from water quality to temperature and cleanliness to safety, he says, came into play.

Hanalei Bay & Beyond

While Hanalei Bay, Hawaii takes the honor of best beach, nine other sandy locations are also getting a nod. Here’s Dr. Beach’s list of “America’s Best Beaches” for 2009:

1. Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Hawaii

2. Siesta Beach, Sarasota, Fla.

3. Coopers Beach, Southampton, N.Y.

4. Coronado Beach, San Diego.

5. Hamoa Beach, Maui, Hawaii.

6. Main Beach, East Hampton, N.Y.

7. Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, N.C.

8. Cape Florida State Park, Key Biscayne, Fla.

9. Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod, Mass.

10. Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, S.C.

Python Vs Gator

Samantha DeWitt — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:39:12 +0000

Beast versus Beats, its a grudge match at the top of the food in the Miami everglades. A 13 foot Burmese python literally exploded after it bit off more than it could chew trying to swallow a six foot alligator, which was both whole and alive at the time.

The left over bits or evidence was filmed by a biologist in a helicopter.

According to wildlife experts over the last few the years, many pythons have been abandoned in the Everglades by pet owners. These pythons go on to kill the native wildlife, and it was hoped that the alligators may be able to control the python outbreak. But on this occasion it looks like a nil all draw.

Are You as Attractive as People From Miami?

Dominic Rivera — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 01:05:05 +0000

I am not attractive based on the results of Travel+Leisure magazine’s online survey on where you can find the most attractive people in the US.

Topping the list is Miami, the place with nice weather, sandy beaches, and now attractive people– based on the 125,000 people surveyed by the magazine.

“I’m not surprised at all, but I’m not in that group” Bill Talbert, president of the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, jokingly told Reuters.

“When you’re here, you kind of take it for granted. Then you travel, and when you come back you say, ‘Oh my, look what we have here,”‘ he added.

Completing the list of top ten cities with the most attractive people are: (2) San Diego (3) Austin (4) Charleston (5) Honolulu (6) Los Angeles (7) San Francisco (8) Minneapolis/ St. Paul (9) New York (10) Denver.

Philadelphia came in last at 25th spot. At least, you can find a lot of “brotherly love” in Philly… and cheesesteak, too.

DMX in Jail, Getting Fodder for New Reality Show

Meieli Sawyer — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 21:08:32 +0000

DMX is in jail. . . again. Sigh. It looks like he’s going to have lots of material for his reality show, because he’s currently in police custody in Phoenix after being extradited from Miami. He pled guilty just two weeks ago to attempted cocaine and marijuana possession, after which he was fined $483 and sentenced to time served, but things aren’t over yet. The state of Arizona reclaimed DMX for an outstanding warrant after he skipped a court date, and he’s currently facing $25,000 bail.

Surely he’s getting low on bail funds at this point?
