A Nebraska woman who vanished after an online date was strangled by two longtime suspects in her death — and surveillance footage shows the depraved duo shopping for the tools they used to butcher her remains, prosecutors say.
A German nurse serving a life sentence for murdering six patients has been charged with killing a further 97 people by lethal injection.
LAZY KILLER:
A woman has been arrested after allegedly stealing a shopping cart from a local supermarket to collect rocks for her garden, police said.
Karen L. Suiters, 41, of Penn Terrace Apartments, Pennsville, was arrested Sunday around 1 p.m. and charged with theft in the case, authorities said.
Police say they received a call saying a woman was spotted pushing a shopping cart from the Acme supermarket on North Broadway toward North River Drive.
When police located Suiters, she was found on the beach along the nearby Delaware River removing rocks from a jetty. The shopping cart was in the path leading from North River Drive to the river.
Suiters allegedly told police that she needed the cart to transport the rocks from the shoreline to her garden.
Chasing the 'Chubby Cheeks Bandit': FBI hunt for bank robber with rounded features
The FBI has asked for public help in tracking down a suspected California bank robber, and isolated one distinctive facial characteristic.

have released surveillance photos of an unidentified woman, dubbed the
Chubby Cheeks Bandit, who held up a Chase branch in Santa Ana last week.

Mac attack: Man, 47, stabs younger brother, 45, over missing mac and cheese

MUNICH, Germany -- A chef to the stars has died following a fight that reportedly started with an argument over fried noodles.
Miki Nozawa, 57, died from a cerebral hemorrhage on Monday after confronting two men outside a nightclub and demanding that they pay a bill left at his eponymous Asian diner on the German resort island of Sylt, officials said.
According to German media reports, two customers had earlier left the restaurant after complaining to Nozawa about their beef noodle dish. The German tabloid Bild said the total bill was about $25.
Nozawa was beaten until he was unconscious, according to reports.
The man says a nurse in her 20s entered Room 835 where he was recuperating and offered him to take a bath.
The woman then allegedly proceeded to sexually assault the elderly patient. The exact circumstances of the alleged encounter have not been made public.
The bunco artist who swept through town last week has been identified as itinerant singer- songwriter Jonathan Richman.
Richman somehow convinced a crowd of people (mostly haggard looking elderly men) to congregate at a local firehouse and give him $15 each.
Next, Richman lulled the marks into a sopoforic state with his "performance," and absconded with the loot - much as one would sing a lullaby to quiet a fretful infant, then tiptoe from the room.
Authorities are perplexed that Richman has managed to stay at large, running the same con, year after year, decade after decade.
"He preys on a vulnerable and weak-minded cohort," said police chief Alfred B. "Trusting old geezers without a lick of sense."
Authorities are taking the crime very seriously. "$15 may not seem like a lot, but from the looks of this bunch, we're talking life savings or close to it," B continued.
There are reports that Randy Now, a local character, may have been the inside man who helped Richman set up the sting.
Reached for comment, Now, who makes his living selling pieces of plastic to naifs who haven't heard of the digital revolution, noted that he is having a big sale next week.
A plan to kidnap and castrate the pop star at a Madison Square Garden performance last month in New York has been foiled by authorities.
Police Admit Mistake: Casey Anthony Computer Used to Search for 'Suffocation' Day Caylee Disappeared
Police investigating Casey Anthony for the alleged murder of her daughter Caylee, now admit they made a huge error during their investigation. Investigators failed to notice that someone using the Anthony family computer had conducted a search for "fool-proof suffocation" on June 16, 2008 -- the same day Caylee was last seen alive.
Orange County, Florida Captain Angelo Nieves said on Sunday that his computer investigators found only 17 entries from Anthony's family computer's Internet Explorer browser, but failed to check the Mozilla Firefox browser, which had more than 1,200 entries, including the "suffocation" search, reports WKMG-TV.
Meanwhile, on March 17, 2008, months before the toddler's disappearance, the words chloroform, neck-breaking, head injuries, ruptured spleen, chest trauma, inhalation and internal bleeding, were all searched on the family computer.

The three cannibals have confessed to the crime which included stuffing the human meat into empanadas, a baked or fried pastry turnover filled with what are typically savory ingredients and not human meat, and then selling the pastries to their oblivious neighbors who involuntarily assisted the cannibal trio with disposing of the evidence.
