[FOXNEWS] The body of murdered University of Utah student Mackenzie Lueck was recovered 80 miles north of Salt Lake City, police said in a news conference Friday.
Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown said the remains of the 22-year-old college student were recovered Wednesday in Logan Canyon.
"In the wake of this tragic, tragic incident, I am relieved and grief-stricken to report that we have recovered Mackenzie Lueck," Brown said.
The announcement comes a week after 31-year-old Ayolla Ajayi was arrested in her killing.
Ajayi was charged with aggravated murder in the "tragic and horrific" killing of Lueck after authorities said the investigation uncovered a fresh dig area, charred female human tissue and items belonging to Lueck in Ajayi's backyard.
"After an exhaustive week of investigation, we are filing charges of aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping, obstruction of justice and desecration of a body in the homicide of Mackenzie Lueck," Brown said last week.
"I will not be saying the killer’s name again," he added, noting that the crimes were "tragic and horrific".
Lueck, 23, disappeared after meeting an unknown individual around 3 a.m. on June 17 near a park in Salt Lake City, where she had been dropped off by a Lyft driver, according to police. Brown said Ajayi was the last person Lueck was communicating with before her disappearance and that phone records indicated they were both in the area around 3 a.m.
Brian Wolf, a Utah handyman, revealed to Fox News last month that the suspect in Lueck’s murder recently asked him to build a secret, soundproof room in his basement, complete with hooks on the walls. Wolf said Ajayi asked him about "building this weird room" in a small space in the basement and said some of the requests had set off alarms.

Isn't the handy Mr. Wolf also guilty of totally not informing the police about an obvious kill room ? He coulda informed them after he got paid in cash, if money is all that matters to him.
"I will not be saying the killer’s name again," he added, I would repeat it till my throat bled if it were an American name though.

The perp was banned from the Utah campus in 2012, but was believed homeless and lived on the campus despite the ban.

There was a time, not so long ago when such a thing would close down institutions, destroy careers, the whole community would be difficult to placate for the governments. It would build entirely new rules and practices and change the thinking of reigning representatives. Now, it's just another dead white slut who met with diverse culture and couldn't take it.
This bastard claims to have escaped a violent dictatorship in Africa. The surname Ajayi is Nigerian (I think) and from the info so far, it seems he's probably used to dismembering, killing, burning evidence, etc. All he was worried about was the noise clearly, because this creature's natural environment allows for such activity easily, but in an Utah neighborhood he got caught. There's no record of past crimes but his DNA might link him to other crimes far away. His wife is claiming he's a psychopath and she'll testify against him now. But will the judge only look at his 'pristine' record and deliver hot air or justice ?
[NYPOST] The cold case gripping the nation has finally been licked!
Texas cops on Friday said they found the girl who licked a tub of Blue Bell ice cream and then put it back on the shelf ‐ and she even confessed after being busted with the boyfriend who filmed her in the video gone viral.
"They were both forthcoming with what occurred and admitted to the act," Lufkin Police and Fire announced in a proud "CASE SOLVED" posting on Facebook on Friday.
The dairy detectives outlined the intricacies of their case, saying that a catfisher had deliberately misled everyone and bragged about it on Instagram ‐ slowing down them getting the real inside scoop on who was behind the gross viral video.
And as the girl is under 17, they also seem to have thawed on locking her in the cooler despite previously warning she could have faced up to 20 years in jail along with fines of up to $10,000.

...On the other hand, the nice people at Blue Bell are enraged over this - they went through a listeria contamination issue a year or two back, and yes, maybe they coulda/woulda/shoulda put a seal of some kind on the containers, but nobody held a gun to that little angel's head. Bringing a lowest-level lawsuit against the family, even if quickly dismissed, would bankrupt them PDQ and perhaps send an even more powerful message than an arrest.

[NYPOST] A trio of British Airways flight attendants ran drunk and naked through a Singapore hotel during a layover "orgy," a UK paper alleges ‐ and now they face losing their jobs.
"There were some frisky crew on this plane," insiders told The Sun.
"There was snogging and stripping and fumbling between the crew, who were all naked."
Ready to party after a 14-hour flight from the UK, the trio and their crewmates had smuggled cabin booze off the airplane so they wouldn’t have to pay sky-high Singapore prices for alcohol, a spy told the paper.
Once at their hotel, "It didn’t take long for ’spin the bottle’ to start," the spy said.
"It’s a drinking game with ludicrous and increasingly daring forfeits designed to get everyone steaming drunk."
The three called-out crewmates, a woman and two men, were suspended and face possible firing after a supervisor reported them for allegedly running through the hotel without their clothing on a dare.
They romped down a corridor, banging on the doors of other guests, The Sun said.
The expose includes a video clip showing a woman in what appears to be a British Airways uniform exposing her cleavage.

[MAIL] A wife slashed her husband's penis off in Uganda after he refused to have sex with her as punishment for her continuous heavy drinking.
Beatrice Acen, 35, returned home plastered at 10pm on June 30 and proceeded to demand sex from her husband, Moses Okot, a 46-year-old peasant farmer.
Mr Okot said that he had returned home from hunting during the day, eaten and gone to sleep when his wife attacked him.
On her return to the house she called out to him to open the door for her. He was already asleep and awoke to 'find my pants wetted with blood,' he said.
Mrs Acen is now on the run, according to the Daily Monitor.
The victim believes that his wife resorted to this drastic measure due to his longstanding method of punishing her for her 'alcoholism.'
'As a man, I would no longer tolerate such, so I decided to deny her sex with hope that she would reform,' he said.
[UPI] Three people were stabbed and at least 16 others were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries following Fourth of July fireworks at reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... 's Navy Pier, police said.
The stabbing occurred Thursday following an "altercation" while the more than a dozen people hospitalized were maimed in a stampede to the pier's exit, Chicago Police Department front man Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.
Chicago Police front man Rocco Alito told NBC Chicago that the stampede occurred as people were exiting the venue when someone yelled there was a shooting.
But there was no shooting, he said, adding that reports a person was shot are not accurate.
"There was no one shot," he said. "That individual sustained a puncture wound from an overturned table, so there is no one shot here at Navy Pier."
Earlier, Guglielmi said there were "heavy crowds" at the pier while the Navy Pier said it had to close its doors before the event even started as it was at "capacity."
Alito said the three people who were stabbed were not cooperating with the investigation.

[Time] LOS ANGELES ‐ A marathon runner has been found dead in the Los Angeles River, days after he was disqualified from the Los Angeles Marathon following allegations of cheating.
The body of Dr. Frank Meza, 70, was discovered shortly before 10 a.m. Thursday, authorities said. Sarah Ardalani, a spokeswoman for the coroner’s office, said an autopsy is pending. The Los Angeles Times reported Meza as the man found dead and a medical license and voter registration records match his home address and date of birth.
Meza, a retired physician who began entering marathons in his 60s after coaching young athletes, had denied the allegations of cheating. He had come under suspicion for his fast splits and finishes in marathons statewide, but claimed it was impossible for him to prove he didn’t cheat. He did say he had stopped to relieve himself, but said he ran the entire 26.2 miles (42.2 kilometers).
"My take on all this, it was supposed to be fun," he told the Times. "Obviously it’s not fun anymore."

The Associated Press reported all seven people on board were Americans. All the bodies were being transported to Freeport, the main city on Grand Bahama.
Bahamian police did not provide a cause of the crash but said an investigation with civil aviation authorities was underway. Major said his agency was working with a lot of entities in the investigation.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The struggling US media industry is facing its worst year for job layoffs in a decade as news organizations continue to cut staff and close shops, according to a new survey. Learn to code
The consultancy Challenger Gray & Christmas reported this week that media companies, which include movies, television, publishing, music, and broadcast and print news, announced plans to cut 15,474 jobs so far this year, of which 11,878 of which were from news organizations.
That is nearly three times more than the 4,062 cuts announced in the media sector in 2017 and the highest total since the economic crisis in 2009.
"Members of the media, especially journalists, have had a tough few years," said Andrew Challenger, vice president of the reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... -based firm.
"Many jobs were already in jeopardy due to a business model that tried to meet consumer demand for free news with ad revenue. As media outlets attempted to put news behind pay walls, in many markets, consumers opted not to pay," he added.
Some of the notable events this year included the closing of the Youngstown Vindicator, the only daily in the Ohio city, with 144 jobs lost, and the sale of the New Orleans Times-Picayune resulting in the loss of some 160 positions, including 65 in the newsroom.
But the troubles have also impacted the digital sector with BuzzFeed cutting 200 employees in January and Verizon eliminating 800 jobs in its media division, which includes Yahoo, AOL, and HuffPost, the Challenger report noted.
The report noted that media companies have been unable to keep pace with Facebook and Google in tailoring ads for customers based on their interests, making it hard to generate online revenue.
It also noted that a rise in browser ad blocking extensions has made it increasingly difficult to monetize online news.
"Job cuts and consolidations are likely to continue until these companies are able to find ways to create growth in revenue streams," Andrew Challenger said.
He added that subscription-based models will only work if news organizations can convince consumers of the importance and value of their news.
"Another possibility for media companies is to monetize users’ personal data, as Facebook and Google have," he said.
"There are obvious ethical implications and potential legal issues, however, especially as privacy laws begin to pass in various jurisdictions across the country. Ultimately, the quality of the country’s news will start to decline if we as users refuse to pay for it," he added.

[LaTimes]A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Southern California Friday night, the second in less than two days.
The quake was centered near Ridgecrest, location of the July 4th 6.2 magnitude temblor that was the largest in nearly 20 years.
That quake caused minor damage and injuries around the epicenter.
This quake was much larger.
When Thursdays quake it, scientists had warned that it could lead an event larger quake. Ridgecrest had been rattled by numerous aftershocks over the last day, including a 5.4 magnitude temblor this morning.
This quake was larger in magnitude than the destructive 1994 Northridge quake, which measured 6.6 magntiude. But that temblor occurred in an urban area, while this week’s huge quakes occurred 100 miles from L.A.

The video shows Statham Police Sgt. Emerson and Officer Doucette being surprised by the squirrel as it jumps at them and flees across a station garage.
The men opened a garage door and chased the rodent until they were about to get it out of the building.
"Please note, the squirrel was not injured at all...oh, and the boys were okay too," the department said.

[Guardian] The largest-ever modern slavery ring uncovered in the UK has been broken up after a three-year investigation into its activities. Some of its 400 victims worked for as little as 50p a day.
Their labour earned millions for members of a criminal gang led by a Polish criminal family, which preyed on the homeless, ex-prisoners and alcoholics from Poland. Gang members were jailed on Friday.
The gang tricked and then trafficked vulnerable men and women ‐ ranging in age from 17 to over 60 ‐ to Britain with the promise of gainful employment but instead housed them in squalor and used them as what a judge described as "commodities".
Working on farms, rubbish recycling centres and poultry factories in the Midlands, they were made to live in cramped, rat-infested accommodation and reduced to going to soup kitchens and food banks to get enough to eat.
[DW] Austria's Tyrol province announced on Thursday that it would restrict access to country roads for vehicles seeking to avoid its highways. The move has drawn the ire of officials in the state of Bavaria, which borders the western Austrian province, as the ban would affect southern Germany's summer cross country travelers.
Given Tyrol's location, between Germany and Italy, travelers going to and from those countries must drive through it. Many use the country roads to either skip heavy traffic conditions on the highway or to avoid paying the tolls.
Tyrol's ban will close major highway exits in and around the city of Innsbruck, where travelers usually gain access to alternative country roads. This will apply to all traffic, including cars, trucks or motorcycles, and will only affect those making long-haul journeys through the province.
To enforce the new ban, authorities will have police personnel patrolling the highway and have sought to remove the alternative routes from navigational systems.
Tyrolean provincial governor Gunther Platter announced the decision to Austria's press agency APA, stressing that the ban will be applied specifically on weekends, from Saturday at 7:00 a.m. to Sunday at 7:00 p.m., beginning this weekend and ending mid-September.
Authorities are hoping this will help relieve the traffic burden of towns and small communities along the highway.

One of my favorite German-Austrian back roads with unparalleled scenic vistas. Take 13 south out of Bad Tolz through Lenggries. Make a right on route 307 and Lake Sylvenstein, and the Isar River. A nominal toll at the park entrance takes you all the way through the Karwendel region to Garmish.

[MAIL] A man has died in Turkey after he strapped two pillows to his back and asked pals to shoot him with a shotgun so that he could avoid community service.
Zafer Kuzu had been sentenced to community service after he was convicted of causing 'wounding' in the north-eastern Turkish city of Erzurum.
The 24-year-old had allegedly asked his friends to hospitalise him to sidestep having to serve the rest of his sentence.
Kuzu and two friends decided to use a shotgun and he reportedly strapped two pillows to his back as protection.
According to local media, one of the victim's friends shot Kuzu at close range and the wayward buckshot seriously injured him.
His friends tried to take him to a nearby hospital, but he died before they left the house.
The article is by a lolbertarian who doubtless dislikes the notion of the wall and wants the GOP to go chasing Hispanic votes that they'll never get at the cost of keeping the base engaged.
That said, this points to the dangers of delays in dealing with the demographic changes to this country which will have far more saliency than the economy or Muh Stock Market.
Trump won't lose Texas in 2020, but who will win it in 2024?
And what will it cost him in other states to hang on to Texas?
So much for the mindless boosterism of those "conservatives" who crow about population growth in red states, while failing to address what the population is turning into.
[DW] While FIFA celebrates women's football at the World Cup in France, it tramples it underfoot in other regions. It seems that for Gianni Infantino, the sexual abuse of Afghan internationals is merely an annoying sidenote.
[Jpost] Security officials from Iran’s ministry of intelligence raided the homes of eight Iranians who converted to Christianity on July 1 in the southern city of Bushehr, carting them off to solitary confinement.
The arrests of the eight Christians was first reported on Friday by Article18, an organization that promotes religious freedom and supports Iran's repressed Christians.
Article 18 wrote that intelligence agents " stormed the Christians’ homes in a coordinated operation at around 9am, confiscating Bibles, Christian literature, wooden crosses and pictures carrying Christian symbols, along with laptops, phones, all forms of identity cards, bank cards and other personal belongings."
Alireza Nader, the CEO of New Iran, a research and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C., told The Jerusalem Post on Friday: "Reporting suggests that Christianity is on the rise in Iran, along with other non-Islamic religions. This is a threat to the Islamic Theocratic Republic, a regime based on a narrow and totalitarian view of Islam. As the regime faces more internal unrest, the more it’ll crack down on religious minorities it views as threatening its stranglehold on religion."
The Article 18 report noted that "Arresting agents also searched the work offices of at least two Christians and confiscated computer hard drives and security-camera recordings" and "The officers are reported to have treated the Christians harshly, even though small children were present during the arrests."
The human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... website wrote the Iranian regime authorities have not allowed lawyers to gain access to the arrested Christians. The Christians are being held at a ministry of intelligence site in the Persian Gulf port city of Bushehr.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in late June after the US released its new report on religious freedom that "In Iran, the regime’s crackdown on Baha’is, Christians and others continues to shock the conscience."
The U.S. has designated the Islamic Theocratic Republic as a "Country of Concern" since 1999, because its regime violates religious freedom as defined by the U.S. International Religious Freedom Act (1998). Article18 said the names of the Iranian Christians who were imprisoned are: :Sam Khosravi, 36, and his wife Maryam Falahi, 35; Sam’s brother Sasan, 35, and his wife Marjan Falahi, 33; Sam and Sasan’s mother, Khatoon Fatolahzadeh, 61; Pooriya Peyma, 27, and his wife Fatemeh Talebi, 27; and Habib Heydari, 38."
According to Article 18, "Khatoon Fatolahzadeh, whose arrest came after six cars carrying security officials turned up outside her home, was released the same day due to her age."
The State Department’s religious freedom report said that Iran’s holy manal regime "continued to harass, interrogate, and arrest Baha’is, Christians (particularly converts), Sunni Moslems, and other religious minorities, and regulated Christian religious practices closely to enforce a prohibition on proselytizing."
Peter Kohanloo, the president of the U.S.-based Iranian American Majority organization, told the Post: "The Iranian regime’s recent arrests of Christian converts prove once again that there is no true freedom of religion in the country. If Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... cares at all about its Christian patrimony, then it should take seriously U.S. efforts at isolating the regime instead of undermining our economic sanctions campaign."

[CBS SF] Tourists are turning away from the City by the Bay, while a huge medical convention has cancelled plans to meet in San Francisco, saying its members don't feel safe on the streets.
Locals may feel comfortable, but visitors are often shocked when the reality of San Francisco's streets is a far cry from its postcard image.
Tourists once took home memories of famed cable cars. These days, too often it is of the image of someone begging, or dancing in circles, or just wandering around the streets intoxicated or mentally ill.
"You can smell it," says one tourist.
"I come from a third world county and it is not as bad as this," says another.
Now it's seriously affecting the city's biggest business: tourism.
"They feel their safety is as risk because they are seeing so many people with issues," says Kevin Carroll of the San Francisco Hotel Council.
"They see people laying on the streets ‐ petty crimes going on in the streets," says Joe D] Alessandro with Travel SF.
Tourism rakes in $9 billion per year in San Francisco, so officials have been reluctant to go public with the problem. In part, it is because it makes the city look bad and that's bad for business.
"Restaurants, taxis, people spend more money outside hotels than inside and for that reason it is something we should all be concerned about," says Carroll.
A major medical association has pulled its $40 million convention out of San Francisco over the state of the streets.
