'We've got to be as thorough as can be'; Cleveland cops look for more victims after 3 women found in bags

Cleveland cops look for more victims after 3 women found in bags
Investigators in a Cleveland suburb have reason to believe they will find more victims after the recent discovery of three bodies wrapped in garbage bags, officials said Sunday.
“We’ve got to be as thorough as we can be,” East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts told volunteers gathered to search through vacant houses to look for more bodies.
“There may be one or two more victims,” he said.
Police will continue searching Sunday for more victims after three bodies believed to be female were found in a house in suburban Cleveland. A suspect who is a registered sex offender who has served prison time was arrested in connection with the case. TODAY's Jenna Wolfe reports.
And by late Sunday afternoon, authorities had blocked off an open lot in the neighborhood after finding another partially buried garbage bag, though investigators have not yet said what was in it.
Police arrested a suspect on Friday, hours after investigators found a woman’s body in a garage. Two more bodies were discovered Saturday — one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house.(Read More)

Comic-Con Stuntman Recalls Daring Rescue of Woman From 14 Floors Up

Comic-Con Stuntman Recalls Daring Rescue of Woman From 14 Floors Up
 San Diego Comic-Con is a yearly event where fans get to dress up and pretend to be superheroes, but this year a team of stuntmen really did come to the rescue of a person in need.
On Thursday, a team of professionals from the appropriately named company Stunts 911 were in a parking lot situated next to a condominium building in downtown San Diego. In a phone conversation with Yahoo! Movies on Saturday, stunt coordinator Gregg Sergeant said they were on a scaffolding about 30 feet in the air prepping a stunt for a party for the film "Kick-Ass 2" where they would light someone on fire when they first saw a woman standing on the outside railing of a balcony on the 14th floor in an apparent suicide attempt.
Crowds assembled on the ground, at first believing it to be a promotional stunt for Comic-Con. But when it was clear that she was genuinely in danger, the Los Angeles Times reports onlookers shouted out "Don't do it! Don't jump!"(See More)

Batman Set to Face Off Against Superman for ‘Man of Steel’ Sequel in 2015, Summer Movie Guide 2013

 UPDATE: Director Zack Snyder officially announced that Batman will indeed appear in his follow-up to "Man of Steel." He said in a statement, "I'm so excited to begin working again with Henry Cavill in the world we created, and I can't wait to expand the DC Universe in this next chapter.  Let’s face it, it's beyond mythological to have Superman and our new Batman facing off, since they are the greatest Super Heroes in the world."

At the panel a logo for the movie was revealed that combines Superman's "S" shield (yes, we know it's not an "S") with the Bat-symbol, which notably looked different than the one in Christopher Nolan's trilogy. They also used a quote from Frank Miller's groundbreaking graphic novel "The Dark Knight Returns" where Batman and Superman engage in a fight to the finish. In it, Batman says, "I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you." Apparently, the new movie won't be a straight adaptation of that comic book but will use elements of the Batman/Superman rivalry from the text. In addition to Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane will return, but Batman has yet to be cast. (Read More)

Beyonce, Jay Z Silently Join Trayvon Martin’s Mom at Rally

 Supercouple Beyonce and Jay Z certainly haven't been silent about their feelings on the Trayvon Martin tragedy before now, as both have paid tribute to the slain teen in separate concerts this week. But on Saturday, "two of the baddest artists of all time" — as rally organizer Rev. Al Sharpton called them — let their mere presence do the talking, showing up at a demonstration against Stand Your Ground laws in downtown Manhattan and chatting with Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton.
"Jay Z and Beyonce said they didn't want to speak and they didn't come for a photo op," Sharpton told demonstrators. "Jay Z told me, 'I'm a father. Beyonce is a mother.' We all feel the pain and apprehension. The laws must protect everybody, or it doesn't protect anybody."
The pair joined the proceedings when demonstrators reached New York City police headquarters, in one of dozens of protests scheduled across the country to speak out against the Florida self-defense law that allowed George Zimmerman to go free. But prior to this quiet moment, the two stars haven't let just silence speak volumes.(Read More)
