Police are looking for a suspect -- who has bite marks on his hands -- is a clean-shaven male in his 20s, about six-feet tall. Women told police he had dark, spiky hair and moles along the side of his face.

Detectives from BSO's Office Violent Crimes Unit are asking the public for help.

Mexico Sinaloa ( Six Bodies Found in Northwest Mexico - two of them decapitated ) Drug Wars
Six Bodies Found in Northwest Mexico
CULIACAN, Mexico – Authorities in the
northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa found six bodies Saturday alongside a
highway, two of them decapitated, prosecutors said.
The corpses were discovered next to the Mexico City-Nogales highway near the town of Ahome, a spokesman for the Sinaloa state Attorney General’s Office said.
Motorists called police to the grisly scene, leading to an intense operation involving municipal authorities, army soldiers and federal police, who cordoned off the area.
All are believed to have been killed at the scene because more than 20 spent AK-47 shell casings were found there, police said.
None of the dead has yet been identified.
The municipal police chief in Ahome, Jesus Carrasco, said authorities suspect the same criminal group responsible for the April 20 slayings of six farmworkers – discovered inside a van – also was behind this latest multiple homicide.
In a separate violent incident early Saturday in Sinaloa, a group of gunmen killed two men and seriously wounded a 10-year-old boy as they were walking into a small supermarket in the town of Angostura.
Authorities recovered more than 76 spent AK-47 and R-15 shell casings at the crime scene.
A total of 24 people – including two women – have been killed in Sinaloa in the first four days of May, compared with 106 deaths for all of April, according to the state’s AG’s office.
Sinaloa is the birthplace of the first generation of Mexican drug kingpins, including Joaquin “El Chapo” (Shorty) Guzman, whose estimated fortune of $1 billion qualified him for a spot on Forbes magazine’s list of the world’s richest people.
Guzman was captured in Guatemala in 1993 and extradited to Mexico, where he was convicted and sentenced to prison. But the drug lord escaped from a maximum-security prison in 2001 and remains at large.
Since the jailbreak, El Chapo has built his Sinaloa cartel into Mexico’s most powerful criminal organization.
Suspected gangland violence has left 3,045 people dead nationwide thus far in 2013, according to the Reforma newspaper.
A total of 3,810 drug-related murders have been registered since the Dec. 1, 2012, inauguration of President Enrique Peña Nieto, who has made crime-prevention programs the focal point of his strategy against drug cartels.

Broward County ( Watch out for sexy ' Crystal ' she will seduce you then rob you )
Police: Watch out for sexy ‘Crystal,’ she will seduce you then rob you
BSO Detective John McMahon worked with the victim to create a composite sketch of Crystal, who may be Hispanic and in her late 20s.

Police want men to think twice before they bring a sexy woman home.
Broward Sheriff’s Office announced Friday that they are looking for a woman in her 20s or women who are seducing men, drugging them and then robbing them blind.
In her latest heist, the unidentified woman took about $6,000 in cash and four luxury watches from Robert Cournoyer. He met her in March at an upscale restaurant called YOLO (You Only Live Once) on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.
Cournoyer, 45, told police he was attracted to her exotic beauty. She told him her name was Crystal and gave him her phone number. He thought they had hit it off, so they went to a nearby lounge called Vibe and later his home in Pompano Beach.
Crystal “made him a cocktail -- vodka drink that took her about a half hour to make,” said Broward Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Dani Moschella. “He took a sip while she drank directly from the bottle. The next thing he remembers, he was waking up the following afternoon. Crystal was gone.”
And so were his watches -- two Rolexes, one Cartier and one Paniere -- worth about $100,000. She deleted her number from his cell phone.
Detectives released a composite sketch with a warning: “Watch out for Crystal.” They think she may have done this before and there may be other women involved.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Ron Cusumano at 954-786-4200 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. There is a $1,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest.

ELOY Arizona ( Activists Alarmed by Two suicides of Immigrants in U.S. Custody ) Detention center
Activists Alarmed by Deaths of Immigrants in U.S.
Custody
PHOENIX – Activists described on
Friday as alarming the fact that two Guatemalan immigrants died in less than a
week at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in
Arizona.
“I’m concerned that there is no way for independent groups to verify what is happening inside these detention centers. It’s terrifying there were two Guatemalan suicides in such a short time and in the same detention center,” Sebastian Quinac, representative of the Guatemalan Ixim Ulew Committee in southern Arizona, told Efe.
We have to know whether people guarding the detainees are paying them enough attention and supervision, or if they’re putting the detainees under some kind of pressure,” the activist said.
ICE reported Thursday the apparent suicide of Jorge Garcia Mejia, 40, who was found unconscious in his cell at the Eloy Detention Center.
Elsa Guadalupe Gonzalez, 24, was also found unconscious in her cell last Sunday by other Eloy inmates.
Both had been in ICE custody since late March.
ICE said it would investigate whether suicide-prevention measures are in effect at Eloy.
The executive director of the ACLU in Arizona, Alessandra Soler, said the main problem is the “punitive” conditions in which the undocumented live in detention centers.
“Immigrants must not be treated like criminals. They are detained for administrative violations of migration, but the policy is to jail them in subhuman conditions where they are treated like prisoners, and the practice of locking them up in isolation is common,” she said. EFE
