Missing Person Turned Wrongful Death Body Indentified as Missing CO Girl

WESTMINSTER, Colo. – A body found in a suburban Denver park was identified Friday as that of a missing 10-year-old girl, as anxious parents kept close watch over their children because of the potential presence of a predator in their midst, authorities said.

The body of Jessica Ridgeway was found Wednesday about 7 miles southwest of her home. Authorities said it was not intact, and DNA was used to identify her.

“Our focus has changed from the search for Jessica to a mission of justice for Jessica,” Westminster Police Chief Lee Birk said.

http://liarcatchers.com/missing_persons_investigations.html

“All our efforts now are in search of her abductor,” he said. “We recognize there is a predator at large in our community.”

Jessica began a short walk from her home to Witt Elementary School on the morning of Oct. 5 but never arrived. A massive search did not start until hours later because Jessica’s mother works nights and slept through a call from school officials saying Jessica wasn’t there.

The FBI has warned residents that she may have been abducted by someone they know and is asking them to be alert for people they know who might have suddenly changed their appearance or uncharacteristically missed work or appointments.

“It could be your boss, it could be your friend, and ultimately it could be your family member,” FBI spokesman Dave Joly said previously. “We suspect someone in the community knows this individual.”

Jim Yacone, FBI special agent in charge of the Denver division, said investigators would continue neighborhood searches. The U.S. Marshals Service, immigration officials and state Department of Corrections have been reviewing registered sex offenders in the area, he said, without elaborating.

Investigators have received more than 1,500 tips from the public, roughly 800 of which have been covered, Yacone said. Authorities also have searched more than 500 homes and more than 1,000 vehicles but still need the public’s help.

“We want you to look for changes of habits, patterns, peculiar absences of those around you and report it to law enforcement,” he said.

Signs of the tragedy have been everywhere in Jessica’s neighborhood of modest, two-story homes with single-car garages.

During the past week, officers have searched homes and yards. They kept guard at crosswalks and photographed cars entering the neighborhood. Mailboxes and trees were encircled by ribbons in Jessica’s favorite color, purple.

“I don’t feel safe for my daughter anymore, anywhere,” said Stacey Oppie, who lives in the neighborhood.

Two months ago, Oppie started letting her daughter play unsupervised with a friend at the park that Jessica customarily passed on her way to school. She doesn’t intend to do that anymore.

“We’re all a little bit on alert, but it’s not fear. We’re angry because this is a good neighborhood,” Oppie said.

Jessica’s disappearance hit close to home for Chelsea Bozsak, a senior at nearby Standley Lake High School, where Jessica’s cousin attends classes. Students there wore purple Friday in support of Jessica’s family.

“It’s so scary because you never think something like this could happen in your community,” Bozsak said.

Courtney Sullivan, also a senior at Standley Lake, said her father spoke to her and her younger brother about Jessica’s disappearance.

“He’s definitely talked to us about being more careful about our surroundings. You could see why,” said Sullivan, a cross-country runner who often uses neighborhood streets. “I’m running in places where there’s lights, busy roads, where I can get to someplace if I need to.”

Community members planned a gathering Saturday to celebrate Jessica’s life.

Retired FBI behavioral analyst Clinton Van Zandt said tip-offs about the suspect could include someone suddenly growing a beard, getting a new haircut or other changes in appearance. Other clues might be out-of-character behavior, he said.

Police have said they don’t suspect Jessica’s parents, Sarah Ridgeway, who lives with Jessica in Westminster, and Jeremiah Bryant, of Missouri.

The only substantive clue police have disclosed was the discovery two days after she disappeared of her backpack and water bottle in Superior, about six miles northwest of her home and several miles south of where her body was found. Police won’t discuss what was found in the bag or test results involving it.

Law-enforcement leaders said they would not disclose further information publicly so as not to jeopardize the investigation.

They have not ruled out that the search for the suspect could be national, an FBI spokesman said.

“The commitment of the task force of investigators in this case will not waver, and our commitment and resolve to seek justice on behalf of Jessica will only grow stronger,” Yacone said.

Identity Theft 40 People Charged in Florida

Source: FBI) – MIAMI—Federal charges were filed today against 40 defendants in 20 separate cases, dealing with thousands of stolen identities and millions of dollars of fraudulent identity theft tax filings. Today’s cases reaffirm the joint federal and local commitment to crack-down on stolen identity tax refund (SITR) fraud perpetrators.

http://liarcatchers.com/identity_theft_investigation.html

The charges were announced by Wifredo A. Ferrer, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida; Richard Weber, Chief, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI); Paula Reid, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Secret Service (USSS); Michael B. Steinbach, Acting Special Agent in Charge, FBI, Miami Field Office; Antonio J. Gomez, Acting Inspector in Charge; U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPS), Miami Division; Guy Fallen, Special Agent in Charge, Social Security Administration, Office of Inspector General (SSA-OIG); Kelly R. Jackson, Special Agent in Charge, IRS-CI, St. Paul Field Office; Steven Steinberg, Chief, Aventura, Fla., Police Department; Larry Gomer, Interim Chief, North Miami Beach Police Department; and Juan Santana, Chief, Miami-Dade Police Department.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, Florida had the highest rate of identity theft in the United States in 2011. While identity theft in Florida ranks highest in the United States, the identity theft rate in Miami has reached near epidemic proportions. Florida’s rate of 178 complaints per 100,000 residents—the highest in the United States—is dwarfed by the Miami rate of 324.1 complaints per 100,000 residents.

Moreover, a September 2012 report by the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) determined that Florida has the highest rate of stolen identity tax refund fraud in the United States. The report identified 74,496 potentially fraudulent returns filed in Miami resulting in more than $280 million in bogus refunds. Miami’s per capita number of false returns based on identity theft was 46 times the national average, and its per capita SITR fraud dollar value was more than 70 times the national average. This problem is projected to grow: the TIGTA report estimates that the IRS could issue as much as $21 billion in fraudulent tax refunds over the next five years.

In an attempt to combat the rising wave of stolen identity refund scams, and armed with newly enhanced investigative and prosecutorial tools under the Department of Justice’s Tax Directive 144, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida established the South Florida Identity Theft Tax Fraud Strike Force. The members of the strike force include IRS-CI, U.S. Secret Service, FBI, USPS, City of Aventura Police Department, Miami-Dade Police Department, North Miami Beach Police Department and the SSA-OIG. The focus of the strike force is to investigate and prosecute SITR fraud in the Southern District of Florida. Today, U.S. Attorney Ferrer, joined by members of the Identity Theft Tax Fraud Strike Force, announced the most recent results of their investigative efforts.

U.S. Attorney Ferrer said, “So far this year, we have charged a total of 79 individuals responsible for almost $40 million in fraudulent tax refunds obtained through identity theft. The cases being investigated and prosecuted include victims from all walks of life, including police officers, potential U.S. Marine recruits, members of the Armed Forces, holocaust survivors, school children, hospital patients, the elderly and infirm, incarcerated prisoners, and even the dead. In addition, our cases show a troubling change in the nature of these cases, away from traditional white collar criminals to more violent criminals, like gang members and narco-traffickers, who are using stolen identity refund scams to fuel their other, violent, criminal activities. We will continue to crack down on identity thieves who are lining their pockets with our tax dollars and using violence to obtain the personal identification information of others.”

“Today’s announcement should reassure American taxpayers that IRS Criminal Investigation has put into action our pledge to make investigating identify theft and refund fraud a top priority,” said IRS-CI Chief Weber. “Be assured that we are serious about investigating these crimes and, as we capitalize on the collective strength of the Identity Theft Tax Fraud Strike Force, we will succeed in vigorously pursuing the criminals who steal from the American taxpayer.”

“The U.S. Secret Service is glad to be an integral part of the Strike Force coordinated between the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Internal Revenue Service to combat this fraud scheme that is plaguing South Florida,” said USSS Special Agent in Charge Reid.
NewAmericanFunding

“Identity theft tax fraud has reached an epidemic level and these cases demonstrate that the FBI and its law enforcement partners will devote considerable resources to address the issue,” said FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Steinbach. “Prevention by way of educating the public is also key to reducing the amount of this type fraud. Consequently, we urge the public to visit www.ftc.gov or www.ic3.gov, as it provides detailed information on how to help deter, detect, and defend against identity theft.”

Acting Inspector in Charge of the Miami Division of the USPS Gomez said, “As a member of the Identity Theft Tax Fraud Strike Force, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service will work diligently with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and with law enforcement at the federal, state and local level to protect American citizens from suspects who prey on their identification for financial gain. Our commitment to the South Florida community is to continue to pursue these cases under Mr. Ferrer’s leadership and guidance so that the U.S. Mails are never used as a conduit to defraud unknowing victims of this type of crime.”

Special Agent in Charge of the SSA-OIG Fallen said, “Assuming the identity of another to commit fraud, unfortunately, is a common occurrence. SSA-OIG special agents are well-trained to detect, investigate, and locate identity thieves, and SSA/OIG, in concert with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, will investigate and prosecute those who commit identity theft and defraud Social Security trust funds.”

“It is through the collaborative efforts of our agencies that we have been successful in investigating and prosecuting tax fraud in Miami-Dade County. We are pleased with the outcome and will continue to work together with our partner agencies in order to make positive impacts on our community,” said Miami-Dade Police Department Chief Santana.

An indictment is only an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The cases announced today include:

United States v. Serge St-Vil, et al., Case No. 12-20768-CR-Scola
United States v. Rodney Saint Fleur, Case No. 12-20772-CR-Scola

Drug Dog Sweep Boston Man Arrested with Heroin and Cocaine

A 28-year-old Boston man was arrested earlier this week by police after allegedly dealing drugs in a Braintree neighborhood.

The man was caught with heroin and cocaine thanks to the department’s drug-sniffing dog Lucky, who found bags behind the steering column of the car Ricardo V. Garced was driving, Deputy Chief Russell Jenkins said in a statement.

http://liarcatchers.com/drugdogsweeps.html

Garced was acting suspiciously with a 36-year-old Braintree man and residents called police on Tuesday, Oct. 9, Jenkins said. Members of the department’s drug unit responded and pulled over the Braintree man near Peach Street. He made statements about past drug activity but no drugs were found on him, Jenkins said. He was released.

Police stopped Garced at Mount Vernon Street and Robinson Avenue. Inside a bag behind the steering column were 13 bags of cocaine and seven bags of heroin, Jenkins said. Garced was charged with with possession and heroin and cocaine with intent to distribute.

“Arresting individuals selling drugs in our neighborhoods is a priority for our drug unit,” Jenkins said. “If you suspect drug activity in your neighborhood, please call our drug unit at 781-794-8665.”

Private Detective Malware Affecting Smartphones

SMARTPHONE USERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF MALWARE TARGETING MOBILE DEVICES AND SAFETY MEASURES TO HELP AVOID COMPROMISE

The IC3 has been made aware of various malware attacking Android operating systems for mobile devices. Some of the latest known versions of this type of malware are Loozfon and FinFisher. Loozfon is an information-stealing piece of malware. Criminals use different variants to lure the victims. One version is a work-at-home opportunity that promises a profitable payday just for sending out email. A link within these advertisements leads to a website that is designed to push Loozfon on the user’s device. The malicious application steals contact details from the user’s address book and the infected device’s phone number.

http://liarcatchers.com/index.php

FinFisher is a spyware capable of taking over the components of a mobile device. When installed the mobile device can be remotely controlled and monitored no matter where the Target is located. FinFisher can be easily transmitted to a Smartphone when the user visits a specific web link or opens a text message masquerading as a system update.

Loozfon and FinFisher are just two examples of malware used by criminals to lure users into compromising their devices.
Safety tips to protect your mobile device:

When purchasing a Smartphone, know the features of the device, including the default settings. Turn off features of the device not needed to minimize the attack surface of the device.
Depending on the type of phone, the operating system may have encryption available. This can be used to protect the user’s personal data in the case of loss or theft.
With the growth of the application market for mobile devices, users should look at the reviews of the developer/company who published the application.
Review and understand the permissions you are giving when you download applications.
Passcode protect your mobile device. This is the first layer of physical security to protect the contents of the device. In conjunction with the passcode, enable the screen lock feature after a few minutes of inactivity.
Obtain malware protection for your mobile device. Look for applications that specialize in antivirus or file integrity that helps protect your device from rogue applications and malware.
Be aware of applications that enable Geo-location. The application will track the user’s location anywhere. This application can be used for marketing, but can be used by malicious actors raising concerns of assisting a possible stalker and/or burglaries.
Jailbreak or rooting is used to remove certain restrictions imposed by the device manufacturer or cell phone carrier. This allows the user nearly unregulated control over what programs can be installed and how the device can be used. However, this procedure often involves exploiting significant security vulnerabilities and increases the attack surface of the device. Anytime a user, application or service runs in “unrestricted” or “system” level within an operation system, it allows any compromise to take full control of the device.
Do not allow your device to connect to unknown wireless networks. These networks could be rogue access points that capture information passed between your device and a legitimate server.
If you decide to sell your device or trade it in, make sure you wipe the device (reset it to factory default) to avoid leaving personal data on the device.
Smartphones require updates to run applications and firmware. If users neglect this it increases the risk of having their device hacked or compromised.
Avoid clicking on or otherwise downloading software or links from unknown sources.
Use the same precautions on your mobile phone as you would on your computer when using the Internet.

If you have been a victim of an internet scam or have received an e-mail that you believe was an attempted scam, please file a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

Wrongful Death Charles Hammer Indicted in Death of Monroe County Sheriff

A grand jury has indicted a southern Kentucky man in the death of a former sheriff in what police have called a possible revenge killing.

http://liarcatchers.com/wrongful_death.html

Charles Hammer, 81, is accused of shooting former Monroe County sheriff and former Tompkinsville police chief Herbert “Sprocket” Proffitt, 82, in August.

Proffitt arrested Hammer a decade ago, and authorities are investigating whether a desire for revenge prompted the shooting.

Drug Dog Sweep Oregon Man Arrested

An Oregon man was arrested Thursday during a traffic stop in Novato after one of the force’s dogs detected drugs in the car, Novato police said Friday.

A traffic officer pulled over a car at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday near the junction of Ignacio Boulevard and Highway 101 because of a vehicle code violation, acting Lt. Jennifer Welch said. Metz, a police dog trained in narcotics detection, was brought into sniff out the vehicle and alerted officer/handler Jeff Ames of an odor of narcotics, according to a press release.

http://liarcatchers.com/drugdogsweeps.html

A search of the car revealed suspected methamphetamine in the glove compartment and suspected marijuana in the truck and passenger area.

Jason Lee Simpson, 29, of Myrtle Creek, Ore., was arrested at 6:45 p.m. and booked at Marin County Jail after being found to be under the influence of drugs. He faces two felony drug charges, two misdemeanor drug charges and one infraction for speeding. His bail was set at $15,000.

The Novato Police Department has three dogs in its canine program — Metz, Lex and Ingo. They are supported in part by a grassroots community group called Pennies for Police Dogs, which accepts donations at Circle Bank and the police station.

The dogs and their handlers are described as “police force multipliers” by Novato police because they enhance officer safety and pose a viable deterrent in dicey situations. Novato’s dogs are used in searches all over Marin County and occasionally Sonoma County.

Chief Jim Berg said elimination of the canine patrols was discussed in 2009 when the most severe city budget cuts were made, but the Novato City Council veered away and made sacrifices elsewhere.

Fraud Investigation Former Pres. of Lexington Company Sentenced

LEXINGTON—The former president of a Lexington-based company was sentenced today to 18 years in prison for defrauding thousands of investors nationwide out of more than $18 million.

U.S. Chief District Judge Jennifer B. Coffman sentenced 67-year-old James Norman Turek for committing securities fraud and tax fraud. In June, a jury convicted Turek after a two-week trial.

http://liarcatchers.com/fraud_investigation.html

The evidence at trial showed that Turek headed Plasticon International Inc., a penny stock company. Plasticon made recycled plastic products.

According to the evidence, from 2004 to 2006, Turek lured approximately 8,500 investors into purchasing Plasticon stock by falsely claiming that Plasticon was profitable when he knew that the company was losing millions of dollars. In statements to investors and in press releases, Turek also falsely claimed that the company owned valuable patents.

The evidence further demonstrated that Turek told investors he was working for nothing when, in fact, he was taking millions of dollars from Plasticon. Turek obtained the money by issuing billions of shares of company stock to himself. In order to execute his scheme, Turek transferred the stock into the names of friends and family members, including his deceased aunt, before selling the stock to unsuspecting investors. He also falsely claimed on backdated documents that he had previously loaned money to the company, so that payments to him looked like repayment of the loans.

The evidence also revealed that Turek filed false tax returns for the years 2003 through 2007 by failing to report approximately $12 million that he obtained from Plasticon.

Kerry B. Harvey, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; Kathryn M. Keneally, Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division, United States Department of Justice; Perrye Turner, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Christopher A. Henry, Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division, jointly made the announcement today.

The investigation was conducted by the FBI and the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division. The U.S. Attorney’s Office was represented in the case by Department of Justice Trial Attorney Kenneth C. Vert and Assistant United States Attorney John Patrick Grant.

Insurance Fraud 6 Arrested in Philadelphia

In December 2009, the mirror of a SEPTA bus clipped the mirror of an armored car at 15th and Walnut Streets. The bump was barely noticible, SEPTA officials reported. The bus received a small scratch. No injuries were immediately noted.

http://liarcatchers.com/insurance_fraud.html

But following the incident, SEPTA received multiple claims from people – all represented by the same attorney – stating they were injured in the “crash,” prosecutors said.

The combined medical bills for neck and back injuries and pain management totaled $80,000. SEPTA annually pays out about $40 million in claims, a spokesman said.

Their attorney also allegedly filed claims with Brinks, even though the armored car was owned by rival Loomis. Even when informed that the Brinks company was not involved, the attorney allegedly continued to press Brinks for claims, prosecutors said.

Recall those surveillance cameras. The Route 21 bus involved in the incident had several of them. Each offered a different view of the bus’ riders and the surroundings.

They showed that only two of the claimants, Lorraine Huff and Malik Spivey, had been on the bus, according to prosecutors.

Also on the video, a passerby Eric Lovett, is seen on video outside the bus, requesting an “incident card,” officials said.

According to prosecutors, Lovett allegedly enlisted five other people he found on the street or in his North Philadelphia neighborhood and convinced them to file for monetary injuries, prosecutors said.

“Some of these people were at home and the runner enlisted them to file claims,” said spokeswoman Tasha Jamerson.

This may be a bus they all may wish they had missed. They were all arrested last month, between Sept. 20 and 27.

Prosecutors declined to identify the attorney, noting that charges have not been filed against him.

The District Attorney’s Office today charged the eight people with insurance fraud, criminal conspiracy and related counts. The defendants include Kitt Smith, 48; Avis Jackson, 56; Spivey, 21; Lovett, 46; and Stephanie Williams, 36. Also charged and facing additional perjury counts are Huff, 45; Faith Rowley, 46; and Arthur Whaley, 55.

The surveillance cameras, which have been installed on about 60 percent of SEPTA’s bus fleet in recent years, have made a sizable dent in suspect claims, said spokesman Andrew Busch.

In the 2011 fiscal year, SEPTA received 5,219 claims. This year, that number was down about 10 percent to 4,656.

“We do believe the surveillance video system has proved to be a major asset in our fight against fraud,” Busch said. “These are the best witness we could possibly have.”

All are scheduled for a court appearance at the Criminal Justice Center on Oct. 15.
