Woman Trapped Underneath Dresser for Four Days

A Cedar Mills, Oregon woman was trapped in her home for 4-5 days without food or water.

Neighbors noticed they hadn't seen her for days and became concerned. One neighbor said she knew something was wrong when she didn't pick up her Sunday paper.

Her neighbors contacted Washington County Sheriff's Deputies Friday to check on her. Deputies forced their way into her home and found Virginia Cartier, 67, pinned underneath a heavy dresser. She was moving furniture when the incident happened.

The lower part of her body was pinned under the dresser and it took several deputies to move the dresser. Both her legs were injured and Cartier was going in and out of consciousness.  She was taken to Saint Vincent Hospital by ambulance. She is recovering at a friend's home.



How she managed to move the dresser at all is surprising, especially since it was so heavy.

Cartier is a very lucky her neighbors were concerned enough to contact authorities; she might have died otherwise.

Glad she is okay, but note to Cartier:  Never attempt to move furniture when you are at home alone.

A true case of "I've fallen and I can't get up"!

Peace

Mom Arrested Twice in Two Days When Toddler Found Wandering

Alexandra Watkins of Aloha, Oregon was arrested two times in two days after her 2 year-old was found wandering in the street wearing only a diaper.

On Monday of last week a TriMet bus driver saw the toddler walking down the sidewalk of a busy street.  He called police, but Watkins arrived and took the toddler away before police arrived.


On Wednesday morning, Walter Bates biking to work when he saw the toddler coming out of the driveway. He raced to stop her from entering the street. He walked with the toddler to the nearby apartment to search for the mother.


Witnesses say the child was cold, wearing only a diaper, and they found warm clothes for her. Four police officers searched the complex for Watkins.

Watkins, 23, was arrested again just eleven hours after being released from the arrest on Monday. She is charged with two counts of misdemeanor child neglect.


Sadly, these two incidents are not the only times the toddler has been found walking outside alone.  The sheriff's office say they know of at least two other occasions.




Her family and friends support her and say that she is not at fault.  Sharon Watkins said, "My sister watches her kids.  My sister is a damn good mom".

Brandy Gornick is a friend and she says "It's not the mother's fault.  "She was sleeping at 3:30 a.m." "Alex is a great mom -- an amazing mom".


Watkins' family and friends say the first time the toddler "got out", they called maintenance and it was "all on maintenance".  They said she tried to get the complex to "fix the door" by installing a child-proof lock.  Now they say they did it themselves "so it's fixed now".


Watkins appeared before a judge and pleaded not guilty to two counts of second degree child neglect.  She is in jail and her family is trying to raise $5,000 to get her released.  DHS removed the two year-old and a 3 year-old from the home and placed them with a family member.


Watkins is at fault and should be charged. After the first time the toddler was found walking the street, she should have changed the lock immediately.


But she waited for maintenance to install a child-proof lock. (Is maintenance even responsible for installing child-proof locks?).  In the interim, the child continued to get out and if not for the kindness of strangers, she could have been kidnapped or killed.


Peace

Abusive Ex-Boyfriend Posts Revenge Craigslist Ads

Andre Flom, 31, from Portland, Oregon is a man scorned.  He was dumped by his pregnant girlfriend for domestic abuse.  After he was convicted and received probation for the misdemeanor charge of strangling his pregnant girlfriend, he sought revenge.

He posted 37 Craigslist ads posing as his ex-girlfriend.  Flom posted her name, telephone number and address in ads seeking sexual encounters.  The victim says after one of the ads was posted, approximately 15 men showed up at her home asking for sex.  Her 2 year-old child (not Flom's) was at the home when the men showed up. Some ads posted instructed people to come to the victim's homes and dig up trees and take a playground structure.

He also posted ads pretending to be the victim with her mother's address and telephone number.  The mother says she can get up to 100 text messages on her phone and it was full in five minutes with obscene messages.

Police tracked the IP address of the computer placing the ads to Flom's neighbor's house.  The neighbor told police his wireless internet was not password protected.



The victim contacted police in November when the men first began showing up at her door.  However, it took months for police to trace the "digital footprints" of the posts.

Well, at least, now Flom gets what he deserves...some real jail time.  He is in the Multnomah County Iverness Jail under a $30,000 bond.

Never use wireless internet without password protecting it...or the cops may show up at your house next.

Peace

Woman Takes Naked Pictures Inside Her Dead Horse

I'm an amateur photographer and enjoy taking photographs wherever I can. But, I would have declined this photo shoot.

A 21 year-old woman from Portland, Oregon took naked pictures inside her dead horse. The horse's entrails are laying on the ground as she poses with her head sticking out of the horse's carcass. There is a more graphic video available (link at end of post), but I chose to watch and include this one in my blog. The gore is blurred in this video, but you get the picture:




She says she wanted to feel what it's like being one with a dead horse? I've been curious about a lot of things, but never about posing for pictures inside a dead horse. That she posed for pictures covered in her dead horse's blood is unsettling. It makes me wonder if there isn't something deeper going on with her, but that's a horse of a different color.

She has received death threats and now says she wishes it would all just go away. Too bad, now that she posted these gross pictures, they will live forever.

Worst of all for me, is they ate the meat! I've heard of people eating horse meat, but it's not something I would consider trying. And if I did, I certainly wouldn't eat the meat of my horse.

Her mother didn't seem too surprised saying she wished she hadn't done that. But she also said the horse meat was the sweetest meat she's ever tasted. Guess she didn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Thankful they put the horse down humanely.

Peace
