Aurora police investigating the disappearance of 5-year-old Maha Li Hobbs have concluded that her mother kept her in a closed room, and then tried to keep police from finding out about her death by lying about an adoption and burning her child’s remains, according to court documents.The police found charred remains in a plastic bag within a large shopping bag in a utility closet last week in the mother’s apartment at 1056 S. Elkhart Way, an 18th Judicial District affidavit states. Arapahoe County Coroner investigators on Tuesday had not identified the remains, but Aurora’s interim Police Chief Art Acevedo has said he is “highly confident” they will match to Maha Li.Maha Li’s mother Alexus Nelson, 27, was being held in the Arapahoe County Detention Center on Tuesday with no option to bond out, court authorities said. She was arrested on May 30 on charges of making false statements and now also faces charges of child abuse resulting in death, tampering wi...Unruly passenger incidents on airplanes up 47% last year worldwide

Terry Castleman | Los Angeles Times (TNS)With air travel recovering from the pandemic, a new study found that bad behavior among airline passengers has continued to rise.A new analysis by the International Air Transport Association shows that unruly passenger incidents on airplanes increased 47% from 2021 to 2022, from one incident per 835 flights to one incident per 568 flights.Though incidents of physical abuse often draw the most attention, the most common types of incidents were “non-compliance, verbal abuse and intoxication,” according to the report. Other misdeeds included bringing outside alcoholic drinks into the cabin, failing to wear a seat belt and packing too much baggage.Physical abuse incidents occurred on 1 in every 17,200 flights, a small fraction, but still an increase of 61% over the prior year. By comparison, the odds of a person being struck by lightning in their lifetime are 1 in 15,300, according to the National Weather Service.The rise of incidents...Editorial: Let Jor’Dell Richardson’s family see the video of Aurora police shooting the 14-year-old

Aurora’s interim police chief, Art Acevedo, should immediately invite the grieving family of Jor’Dell Da’Shawn Richardson into the police department to view the video recordings showing the events before, during and after an Aurora police officer shot and killed the 14-year-old.Acevedo’s attempt to describe the incident in a public briefing has left everyone confused about what transpired, and while video evidence isn’t guaranteed to offer clarity in the shooting, often the video helps a family move forward from such a devastating loss.Members of Richardson’s family visited police headquarters Monday to demand to see the video from both security cameras in the area and police officers’ body cameras, the latter of which is required by state law to be recorded during police responses and also required to be released. Police refused.Acevedo said that Richardson was part of a group of teens who robbed a small store that sold vape nicotine cartridges near Dayton and 8th Avenue in Aurora....More than 5,300 postal workers attacked by dogs while delivering mail in 2022: USPS

David Matthews | New York Daily News (TNS)More than 5,300 employees of the U.S. Postal Service were attacked by dogs while delivering mail in 2022, the agency said.The number represented a slight drop from 2021 when more than 5,400, and 2020 when more than 5,800 were attacked. Dog bites remain one of the chief occupational hazards for letter carriers.Dog bites can lead to a number of other health effects, including dangerous infections.The figures were announced as part of the agency’s annual National Dog Bite Awareness Week public service campaign, which runs from June 4 to June 10.“When letter carriers deliver mail in our communities, dogs that are not secured or leashed can become a nemesis and unpredictable and attack,” Leeann Theriault, USPS employee safety and health awareness manager, said. “Help us deliver your mail safely by keeping your dog secure and out of the way before your carrier arrives.”The theme of this year’s campaign: “Even good dogs have bad days.”The agency st...The Arctic will have ice-free summers as soon as the 2030s

By Danielle Bochove, BloombergEven in a best-case scenario, the Arctic will begin to experience summer months with no sea ice sometime around the middle of the century — sooner than leading climate scientists had predicted, new research finds.The United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggested in its most recent landmark report that the region would start to see Septembers without sea ice around 2050 if humans continue to emit greenhouse gases at high or moderate levels. However, the new study, published Tuesday in Nature Communications, says this will happen even in a low-emissions scenario. Higher emissions will result in ice-free Septembers by 2030 to 2040.“We basically are saying that it has become too late to save the Arctic summer sea ice,” said Dirk Notz, an oceanographer at the University of Hamburg in Germany who specializes in sea ice and is one of the authors of the study, as well as an IPCC report author. “There’s nothing really we can ...Longmont City Council to contemplate a regional minimum wage Tuesday

During its regular meeting Tuesday, the Longmont City Council is expected to hear a presentation from several speakers about the possibility of establishing a regional minimum wage.Representatives on behalf of the Boulder County Consortium of Cities, the Boulder Area Labor Council and the Longmont Chamber of Commerce are scheduled to present to the council about the issue.In 2019, the Colorado General Assembly passed House Bill 19-1210, which allows a local government such as Longmont to establish its own minimum wage.However, before enacting its own minimum wage law, a local government must consult with surrounding jurisdictions and stakeholders, according to the legislation.“If anybody’s going to do this and make it work — any municipality — it’s going to have to be in concert with other municipalities,” Councilman Tim Waters said Monday.In addition to serving on the City Council, Waters is one of the city’s representatives on the Longmont Economic Development Partnership Bo...Jeffrey Glenn Patterson Killed in Motorcycle Crash on Petrol Road [Bakersfield, CA]

Our 2023 Pride Guide is here, and clearly one Pride celebration isn’t enough for L.A. Though the circumstances that led to LA Pride and WeHo Pride throwing two different events might have started out somewhat contentiously amid the pandemic and BLM protests, things seem to have settled in the best possible way in 2023. Both big banner gatherings enjoyed their own successful celebrations in 2022, and just last weekend, West Hollywood’s event with JJLA and Outloud (featuring musical headliners Grace Jones, Orville Peck and Carly Rae Jepson, plus the Dyke March, Summertramp and more) drew thousands for three days and nights of activism and revelry. Christopher Street West’s LA Pride dominates for the rest of the month and they’ve got some huge happenings going on all month long.As other parts of the country seek to deny equal rights to the LGBTQ+ community, it’s become apparent that not only is there room for multiple events in this city, we need them more than ever.
