  • Two Georgia Hospital Employees Arrested After Stealing And Throwing Away Ashes Of Stillborn

    Two Georgia Hospital Employees Arrested After Stealing And Throwing Away Ashes Of Stillborn

    Two former laundry employees of a suburban Atlanta hospital are now in police custody after allegedly stealing an urn containing the ashes of a stillborn infant and then throwing the ashes away, Action News 5 reported.

    In August of last year, Carla Massey gave birth to a stillborn six months into her pregnancy. In order to keep her near for emotional support, the heartbroken parents cremated the infant and placed her ashes within an urn that was put into a teddy bear. While Carla was hospitalized at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, the bear went missing, devastating the couple.

    “Losing her plus the ashes was a big heartbreak,” Massey explained in an interview.

    The teddy bear was found in a trash can within the hospital’s laundry room the same day, but the urn was not there. After an investigation, the urn was found in the home of two employees, who are also married to each other. Unfortunately, the ashes had been disposed of.

    Anilus and Rosnie Frederic were each charged with theft and abandonment of a dead body. Both of the Frederics were released on bail, but are no longer employed by Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. A reason for why the couple decided to steal and discard the infant’s ashes has yet to be revealed, but the victims are relieved to learn of their arrest.

    “I pray for them, and hope they get better mentally and physically, but I just don’t understand why they would do something like this,” Massey said.

  • Woman Charged with Stealing $246K in Pension Payments From Deceased Police Dad and Buying Luxury Items

    Woman Charged with Stealing $246K in Pension Payments From Deceased Police Dad and Buying Luxury Items

    A Long Island woman was arrested after allegedly stealing her late father’s pension after his death and using the money to purchase a luxury home and a Mercedes Benz, NY Post reported. 

    Alayne Bertolino, whose dad was Nassau County Police Detective Joseph Bertolino, allegedly continued to receive her father’s pension 4 1/2 years after his death at age 69 in 2014. The 48-year-old is accused of failing to notify the state retirement system of her dad’s death. 

    Bertolino reportedly retired from the department in 1991 and had been collecting his pension via direct deposit in a joint account shared with his daughter. However, payments are supposed to end after a person is deceased. 

    DiNapoli’s office said they didn’t find out about the theft until after receiving a change of address form for the father in 2017, reports reveal. The payments were immediately canceled once the retirement system became aware of his death.

    Alayne is accused of making multiple transfers into her family bank accounts and using the funds to purchase a new, $70,000 black Mercedes-Benz GL350 and a $556,000 seven-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Cumming, Ga., 40 miles northeast of Atlanta, officials allege.

    “The defendant took advantage of her father’s death to profit handsomely at the expense of New York’s retirement system and fuel an extravagant lifestyle,”

    DiNapoli said, adding his office

    “will seek full restitution.”

    Alayne Bertolino pleaded not guilty at arraignment in Albany City Court, telling The Post that the matter “was a misunderstanding.”

  • Maryland Man Steals Car And Crutches From Tinder Date, Leaving Amputee Stranded In The Cold

    Maryland Man Steals Car And Crutches From Tinder Date, Leaving Amputee Stranded In The Cold

    A man from Prince George’s County, Maryland is facing multiple charges after using a popular dating app to find potential victims, The Washington Post reported.

    On February 2nd, Rodney Richardson met a man from Tinder who was an amputee. Instead of going on their planned date, Richardson robbed the man, taking his phone, wallet, and car. The victim, who was left without the crutches he needed to walk, was left stranded in the cold.

    “The victim began to crawl on his hands and knees as he was unable to walk due to being an amputee,” court documents state. “[He] hid in a nearby ditch, fearing the suspect would return.”

    Eight days later, Richardson invited another Tinder date to his home in Brandywine, where he raped the man at gunpoint. He then demanded that the victim give him his phone, ID, and Social Security Number, and forced him into the trunk of the stolen car. The next morning, Richardson drove the victim to a nearby bank and made him withdraw $4,500.

    “Very disturbing,” said Major Zachary O’Lare from the Prince George’s County Police Department. “The fact that he was armed makes it very disturbing and heinous types of crimes to the police department.”

    On Monday, after both victims identified Richardson in photos, the 26-year-old was arrested and charged with with rape, kidnapping, assault, armed carjacking, robbery, extortion, and reckless endangerment. He is currently being held in jail without bond.

Winning 100 million Nigerian dollars, the man shared the exciting news with his lady but instead of giving her a fair share of the money he had stolen, he gave her back exactly $10,000. Furious by his empty gesture, the woman demanded the boyfriend give her $40 million from his jackpot but the man says he has other plans for his money. He claims he will be using most of the money to

    “grow his business.”

    After many threats from his girlfriend saying she would leave him, he decided to give her 5 million however, she is still standing on her original request of 40 million. Now the man is looking for advice on whether he wants to be financially wealthy or stay with the love of his life. One user suggested he,

    “give her 10mil to buy [your] freedom and move on.”
