At the entrance to La Clementina, a housing development in the municipality of Concordia, in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, there are five funeral wreaths and 12 votive candles. It is a floral offering in memory of the miners who were kidnapped at the end of January. The bodies of Jose Angel Hernandez Velez, Ignacio Aurelio Salazar Flores, Jose Manuel Castaneda Hernandez, Jose Antonio Jimenez, and Jesus Antonio de la O, all employees of the Canadian mining company Vizsla Silver, have been identified, while the whereabouts of five others remain unknown.
Mexico's Attorney General's Office said on Monday that authorities have identified five bodies found at a property in El Verde, a rural locality in the state of Sinaloa, and are working to identify the remains of five other people. It is important to note that prosecutorial authorities have remained in contact with the victims' relatives, the office said in a statement. In the cases where the bodies have already been identified, they will be transferred to the states of Zacatecas in two cases, as well as to Chihuahua, Sonora, and Guerrero, it added.
Perhaps it's the future of digital commerce? As it turns out, none of those really stuck, as extreme price swings and fees make the crypto a bad fit for most practical commercial purposes. The horrifying abduction of Nancy Guthrie, however, highlights perhaps the one persistent utility Bitcoin has been able to maintain: its place as the de facto global currency of crime.
He keeps returning to the same spot a small, burned-out shop in the centre of Woro in western Nigeria's state of Kwara. Tanko looked exhausted, his eyes red and swollen, his voice barely rising above a whisper. Inside that shop are the corpses of my friend's son and grandson, he said, fighting back tears. It was difficult to make out the bodies in the blackened shell of the shop.
Well, you're elusive on the communications because you know you're going to be asked for proof of life that you can't provide, Mauro said. That comment hit The Big Weekend Show co-hosts Joey Jones and Tomi Lahren like a ton of bricks. Emmmm, Jones could be heard groaning off camera. And Lahren sounded like she sighed Christ after hearing it.
Her husband knew she planned on picking up Easter candy for their 6-year-old son after work, so he wasn't initially worried when she didn't come home right away. But by 1 a.m., he was calling hospitals and law enforcement for help. A relative found her blue Honda Civic parked and locked at a nearby Big 5 Sporting Goods. Her purse and ID were inside, as was "evidence of a physical altercation," the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department said.
A federal grand jury in Miami returned indictments on Wednesday against Stevenson Charles, 24, Yusuf Minor, 31, and Naod Yohannes, 25, in connection with the Dec. 22 kidnapping that began near Atlanta.

Four men searched my mouth for implanted tracking devices. I had told them I didn't have any-that, as far as I knew, such things existed only in movies. They asked if I had fillings, and I confessed that I did. They looked again. "No, you don't," one of them corrected me, having failed to find any glint of silver. My fillings are white. The men, wearing dark civilian clothes and balaclavas, seemed convinced that these unfamiliar fillings posed a threat to their operational security. That's when I knew that my kidnapping was going to be a little bit different.
A man who prosecutors say was acting as a bounty hunter when he and others allegedly kidnapped a fugitive's girlfriend and burglarized the couple's National City home was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in prison. The sentencing of Jesse A. Wagner, 50, in Chula Vista Superior Court ends an unusual case that grew to include three incidents in other local cities, including one in which a bystander was boxed in by alleged bounty hunters in darkened SUVs on an Oceanside street.
The family of Muriel McKay, who was kidnapped and murdered more than 55 years ago and whose remains have never been found, cannot perform a radar scan of a shared back garden in east London where they believe she is buried, a High Court judge has ruled. Ms McKay, the wealthy wife of newspaper executive Alick McKay, was kidnapped for a 1 million ransom in 1969 after being mistaken for Anna Murdoch, the then-wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Eric Halem, a former LAPD officer, and Gabby Ben, alleged by prosecutors to have 'ties to the Israeli mafia,' were denied bail Friday. The two men are accused of pretending to serve a police search warrant and using threats of violence to coerce a teenager into emptying a digital wallet full of cryptocurrency. Both have pleaded not guilty. Halem's attorney said her client faces danger in jail: 'He worries he is going to be killed because he was a cop.' One night last December, six men met at a home in the Hollywood Hills to plot a kidnapping, prosecutors say.
Nonstop gonzo mayhem is on show in this pulp shocker from 1980, beginning with an amazingly reckless, fender-mangling, passerby-endangering car chase which more or less takes up the first 20 minutes. It's a gritty New York sleazesploitation crime thriller with some gobsmackingly over-the-top punch-ups and shootouts; some of the attitudes to ethnicity and sexual politics can only be described as of their time. Those who prefer 21st-century standards of good taste had better look away now.
