caught on camera man dumping body


Moments before the body of a strangled woman was found stuffed in a suitcase on a Harlem street yesterday, these surveillance pictures captured a man wheeling it there.

The body of Betty Williams, 28, was discovered at 12:15 a.m. in luggage abandoned on East 114th Street near First Avenue, sources said.

The gruesome find was made on a tree-lined block a half-block from the exclusive Italian eatery Rao's and directly opposite bucolic Thomas Jefferson Park.

In the video a man can be seen dragging the suitcase down East 114th Street.


The man, wearing a black-leather jacket, light-colored pants and wool hat, stops for about 60 seconds as three people walk by.

"He's got a body in his suitcase and he's just standing there like nothing's going on," said the source who provided the shocking footage. "I freaked out when I saw that."

In the video, the man pauses in front of a stoop, stands the suitcase upright and adjusts his hat before wiping his face with his gloved left hand. He also fusses with his jacket collar before slightly turning and looking up the block.

"It's f--ked up. [He's] just standing there," said the source.

Once the group passes, the man resumes pulling the case along the sidewalk.

A few steps later, he stops a second time, then walks out of camera sight.

Soon after, area resident Jody White, 32, stumbled upon the suitcase, sources said.

"I unzipped it and saw it was a body. I just saw from the knee down," White said.

When White opened the luggage, a leg sprang out, sources added. The body of Williams, whose rap sheet includes drug arrests, was clothed, sources said.

"I wish I never found it," he said. "I wish I never came across it. It's the holidays. You don't want to find a body."

A startled White called 911 and cops found a black garbage bag wrapped over a portion of the upper body and head, which bore signs of trauma, police said.

"I came out of the building and saw the suitcase. Her foot was sticking out. It had a sock on it," said a horrified resident who declined to be identified by name.

"It smelled bad . . . seeing something like that is terrible."

Blood was pooled in the suitcase and on the sidewalk where it was abandoned, sources added.

"I feel sympathy for her and her family. I wouldn't know how to deal with a situation like that," said neighbor Samantha Rivera, 22.

Belgian man finds $380,000 while renovating an old bank

A Belgian man renovating a house in Ghent found $380,000 in cash that had been left behind unclaimed from when the building had housed a bank almost 10 years ago. Ferhat Kaya, 33, had bought the property, a former branch of the Dexia bank, at a cost of $225,000 to house his accounting firm and before accepting the keys turned down the estate agent's quote of $4,500 to remove an old safe.

Instead he called two close friends, the brothers Murat and Hurun Tufan to remove the metal vault. "When the vault was open it revealed bags of 20 and 50 euro bills," said Murat Tufan. "The receipts were still there, dated December 31, 2001. We started counting, and it came to some 300,000 euros."

After speaking to his Turkish father, Mr Kaya decided to call the police even though it would have been easy to keep the cash as it had been lost and left unwanted by the bank for almost a decade. "My friends and I thought we would really make a statement with it: that even immigrants are people that say honesty is the best policy," he said. Ulrike Pomm�e, a spokesman for Belgium's Dexia Bank, said that an investigation had been opened but suggested that no trace of money would ever be found.

"We want to determine what happened. It is probably a human error. But the investigation will not be easy, because the money is from 2001. A repeat of this incident is not possible with current procedures," she said. We will carry out the investigation and then see if there will be a decision to give him a reward for reporting the money to police straight away."

Elk rescued from frozen Oregon pond


An elk trapped in a frozen pond in Bend is running free again thanks to the help of rescuers.

Police were called to the Awbrey Glen Golf Course after an elk fell through the ice and became trapped in the pond.

Bend police officers eventually used a boat and tried to help move the elk toward land as it struggled in the icy water. After wrapping a rope around the elk's neck, they pulled the animal to safety.

The elk still struggled to keep its balance once out of the water but eventually ran back into the woods.

Men get 3 hrs of orgasm in their lifetime

A man gets just an average of less than three hours of orgasm throughout his lifetime, according to China Press.

Orgasm is the physical and emotional sensation experienced at the peak of sexual excitement.

Singapore Gleneagles Hospital gynaecologist Dr Fang Zhuang Wei said that due to busy lifestyles these days, couples were only sexually active before and immediately after their marriage, reports the Star Online.

For instance, he said if a man had an average orgasm of about 2.5 seconds over 40 years (from age 18 to 58), and had sex twice weekly with his wife, he would enjoy two hours, 53 minutes and 20 seconds of orgasm in his lifetime.

According to a Chinese online media report, if a man can live up to 78 years old and has a 2.02 seconds of orgasm each time he has sex, doctors in China estimated the man would have 16 hours of orgasm in total.

Air New Zealand pulls 'Fares lower than grandma's boobs' ad



An Air New Zealand ad offering fares "lower than grandma's boobs" has been pulled after a campaign by outraged locals. The billboard, advertising Air New Zealand's cheap seat website Grabaseat, appeared in Nelson, New Zealand.

Local Jacquetta Bell deemed the slogan "sexist" and "offensive" and started an email campaign against the website. Grabaseat manager Duane Perrott said the slogan had come from a competition winner in Wellington, whose grandmother lives in Nelson.

"What this person thought was funny, as did many others, clearly didn't resonate with some individuals today, and Grabaseat will be removing the billboard shortly," Mr Perrott said. "We apologise if any offence was caused."

Ms Bell said she was pleased the billboard was going to be pulled and that older women had sent Air New Zealand a strong message. "The overwhelming message was they (Grabaseat) wouldn't say the same thing for men; like 'Fares as low as your granddad's willy'. They didn't think older women were important," Ms Bell said.

Blizzard fills family's home with snow

No one really enjoys shovelling snow out of their driveway and sidewalk. But how about shovelling about five inches from the inside of a house? The home of a couple in Newell, Iowa got filled with snow while they were out of town. But some generous family members cleaned up the mess for them.

"We were out of town just for the weekend visiting our daughter in Chicago and her family and my husband had asked Jim, his brother, to check, make sure the furnace is running and see how the dog was we had left him in the garage," said Betty Ehlers. Strong blizzard winds pushed the door open, letting all kinds of snow make its way inside their house.

While Steve and Betty Ehlers drove back to their home near Newell, Iowa, Jim Ehlers and his wife spent the morning cleaning up the mess, which made its way into cupboards and closets, under doors and in drawers. When they got home, Jim and his wife had all the snow out of the house. The next day they saw the pictures.

Luckily, the damage done by mother nature is minimal, but they say it could have been worse. The couple says surprisingly they only have to replace a kitchen faucet and the flooring in the kitchen and hallway.
