PHOENIX Az ( MOTHER Wanted - 11 yr old girl might DIE ) Removed from hospital

Police in Phoenix are searching for an 11-year-old girl who was removed from the hospital by her mother, where she was being treated for leukemia and still has a catheter in her chest.

Police said the little girl, who has been only been identified as Emily, also had her arm amputated due to an infection. The authorities are not sure why the mother removed the child from Phoenix Children's Hospital on Wednesday night, but are worried about the catheter still in Emily's chest.

The longest walk ( would you look the other way so  she could go home and die) ?

"Our concern right now is for that catheter to be medically removed. We understand that there is the possibility that the catheter could get an infection and thereby result in the death of this child really in the matter of days," Sgt. Steve Martos told ABC News affiliate KNXV Thursday night.

Surveillance footage from the hospital shows the mother, identified as Norma in a police press release, leaving with Emily around 10:30 p.m. local time Wednesday. Police say Norma removed Emily's IV before walking her out of the hospital in street clothes.

A young boy was also seen leaving with Norma and Emily.

Police believe the family then left the hospital in a black van and have not been seen since. Detectives have made an effort to contact the family but to no avail, according to the statement.

It's not clear how long Emily had been a patient at the hospital. Police have not released the family's last name.

SACRAMENTO Ca ( Former NFL player gets life in PRISON ) Keith Wright

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A former NFL player has been sentenced to life in prison for a series of home-invasion robberies and a sexual assault in Sacramento.

Keith Jerome Wright, who is 32, was sentenced Friday in Sacramento County Superior Court to multiple life terms. He was convicted last month of 19 charges that included forcible oral copulation, armed robbery, kidnapping, burglary and false imprisonment.

 

 

Prosecutors say DNA evidence and stolen items found in Wright's home connected him to three home invasion robberies in July and August 2011.

The former University of Missouri defensive lineman saw little playing time in the NFL after being selected in the sixth round of the draft by the Houston Texans in 2003. He also was with the Indianapolis Colts, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions.

ARIZONA (Mountain Lion Alert- Patagonia Creek Preserve )

A mountain lion has been spotted several times in the Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve in southern Arizona and visitors are being warned to be careful.

Staff is monitoring the lion’s activity to determine if it has become habituated to people, which can be risky to people who frequent the area, a news release from The Nature Conservancy says.
Periodic closures may occur, according to a news release Friday by the conservancy.
The 921-acre preserve is just outside the town of Patagonia, about 50 miles southeast of Tucson.

CASA GRANDE Az ( BOMB blows up back door -Social Security Office )

CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — Authorities are investigating a small explosion that happened at the back entrance of a Social Security Administration office in a small town about 50 miles south of Phoenix.
The explosion was reported just before 8:30 a.m. Friday and no one was injured, Casa Grande Fire Marshal Barbara Rice said.

Television images show the building was blackened around the entry door, but Rice said the damage was not extensive.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sent investigators to the scene. ATF spokesman Tom Mangan said the FBI had taken over the investigation and referred questions to that agency.
Calls to the FBI and Casa Grande police were not immediately returned.
A local resident whose wife works in the office and who talked to one of her co-workers said he was concerned about the staff, even though no one was hurt.
“She was crying and extremely upset,” Ed Mouradian told the Arizona Republic. “I am concerned for all the employees’ well-beings. It’s a small office that’s very tight-knit.”
Casa Grande was once a farming community of a few thousand people but grew into a distant bedroom community for Phoenix when developers began building hundreds of homes in the early 2000s.

Afghanistan (Two men arrested-For beheading 14 yr old girl ) She refused marriage

 KONDUZ, Afghanistan -- Two men have been arrested in Afghanistan's northern province of Konduz in connection with the beheading of a 14-year-old girl.

Local police officer Nizamuddin Hakimi told RFE/RL that the girl's body was found late on November 27 in the province’s Imam Sahib District.

Hakimi said that a preliminary investigation revealed that the two suspects had asked the girl's parents if one of them could marry her.

Both the girl and her parents reportedly rejected the proposal.

Hakimi gave no further details regarding the men's possible connection to the killing.

Last month, a 20-year-old Afghan woman was beheaded in Herat Province, reportedly for refusing to work as a prostitute.

Four suspects, including the victim's husband and in-laws, were arrested for that killing.

FREMONT ( Boyfriend tried to hang girlfriend-but left her with cell phone )

A Fremont man was arrested Sunday after he allegedly tied up his girlfriend and tried to hang her from a tree in his backyard, police said.
The girlfriend called police around 5:50 p.m. from a cell phone and frantically told them she was tied up in the backyard at her boyfriend’s house on the 41500 block of Beatrice Street, said police spokeswoman Geneva Bosques.

(hello my boyfriend is trying to hang me)

The woman’s hands had been zip-tied behind her back but when her boyfriend stepped inside for a cigarette, she was able to reach for her phone in her back pocket and call police, Bosques said. The dispatcher had a hard time hearing her and the woman didn’t say much, but was able to give police the address of the house, Bosques said.
When police arrived at the house, they found her with her hands tied behind her back and a rope tied around her neck and connected to a tree. Her boyfriend, 31-year-old Daniel Howard, was standing behind her when police arrived. He pushed her toward a creek embankment at the edge of the back yard and jumped over a side fence, Bosques said.
Police released the woman, and officers chased down and arrested Howard several houses away. He was booked into Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of attempted murder. The woman, who lives in San Jose, was treated at a hospital for minor injuries.
Police have had contact with Howard numerous times in the past, Bosques said.

PALO ALTO - ( Sex Offender on the prowl-attacking women) See story

(11-29) 11:34 PST PALO ALTO -- A Palo Alto woman woke up early Thursday with an intruder in her bedroom, police said.
The assault has police wondering if the intruder, who entered the apartment at the 100 block of Hawthorne Avenue after breaking a lock, might be the same man who has groped three other women in August and September.

All have happened within walking distance of the Palo Alto Caltrain station.
In Thursday's incident, a man broke his way into the first-floor unit of a woman in her 20s, said Detective Sgt. Brian Philip.
She woke up just after 2 a.m. and found the man standing over her bed. She sat up and he yelled at her, pinning her down to the bed by the wrists, Philip said. He fled after she fought back and screamed.
Police searched the area but the assailant had escaped.
He was described as being in his 20s or 30s, having a medium build and wearing a hooded dark jacket and dark pants, Philip said.
In the earlier cases, the groper was described as being around 30 years old and about 5 feet 9 inches tall, with an average build and black hair.
In those cases, that suspect approached women who were alone during daylight hours and grabbed and fondled their buttocks or breasts before running away. The assaults happened at El Palo Alto Park, Stanford Shopping Center and in downtown Palo Alto on Hamilton Avenue.
"There's always that chance that it's related to those incidents because of the location and the nature of the crime," Philip said.
