Envy Apartment

Sixteen-year-old Natalie Cano-Partida was told she would at least get to tell her family goodbye. When she didn't act quickly enough, her killers took the cell phone they had offered her and proceeded with their grim business - shooting her and 15-year-old Derek Greer at close range during a dual execution at a country roadside near Fountain. They died over a stolen purse, according to previously sealed court documents released Thursday . The shocking account of the teens' March 11 slayings, made public on orders from an El Paso County judge , marks the first public indication that the Coronado High School students died of multiple gunshot wounds at the same remote location where their bodies were found March 12 - off Old Pueblo Road, a place apparently chosen at random during a harrowing abduction that began in Colorado Springs . Cano-Partida was the target, and Greer was "only murdered because he was with (her)," one of the suspects told police . The records s...

LAKEWOOD, Wash. (AP) - A convicted sex offender has been charged in connection with breaking into several apartments while naked south of Tacoma. Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist says Curtis Sell was charged Wednesday with three counts of burglary with sexual motivation in connection with the break-ins and failure to register as a sex offender. Lindquist says police responded to a Lakewood apartment building Aug . 2 where a woman reported that she awoke to a naked man removing the fan from her bedroom window. She told police after she screamed and her boyfriend came in the room, the man ran away. Lindquist says that morning investigators were called to other nearby residences where two other women reported similar stories . In all three instances, Lindquist says, the women positively identified Sell from a photo line-up. Sell remains in jail on $450,000 bail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW YORK (AP) --...

Icahn is one of the richest men on Wall Street, and he has thrived, in no small measure, because of a capacity to intimidate. A Texas- based oil refiner in which he had a major stake was losing money because of an obscure environmental rule that Icahn regarded as unduly onerous. Icahn is a voluble critic of any government regulation that constrains his companies. So he wanted to speak with the person in charge of enforcing the policy: a senior official at the E.P.A. named Janet McCabe . Icahn works from a suite of offices, atop the General Motors Building , in midtown, that are decorated in the oak-and-leather fashion of a tycoon’s lair in a nineteen-eighties film. During that decade, Icahn made his reputation as one of the original corporate raiders , pioneering the art of the hostile takeover and establishing himself as a human juggernaut—a pugnacious deal machine ...
