Authorities have arrested a 50-year old woman from Oregon after they discovered she was entering a building she had been banned from with the help of her boyfriend for the last 14 months.

Allegedly, the woman’s boyfriend, Curtis T. Lowe, 52, had been hiding Kola J. McGrath, whose listed height is 5ft 6in and weight is 96 lbs, in a pink suitcase to help her enter the building unnoticed. McGrath had been banned from the Portland apartment complex after damaging a  extinguisher.

A witness seeing Lowe place McGrath in the suitcase notified police after suspecting that a kidnapping was taking place. Charged only with trespassing, she was later released.

Wisniewski, 33, was found dead in a stairwell at the Erie County Medical Center. She had been shot four times, and police do not believe it was a random act of violence. Jorden could not be found after police discovered his ex-girlfriend’s body.

All four vehicles registered in Jorden’s name have been accounted for. A neighbor of Jorden told Associated Press that he did hear a shot on Thursday morning, but did not think much of it at the time. Police also searched Jorden’s home and a ravine near the house, although they did not find anything.

Sources close to Wisniewski told reporters that the pair broke up because Wisniewski believed Jorden was having an affair. Ever since the break-up, the woman feared her ex and tried to stay away from him.

Authorities are concerned that Jorden may try to cross the border into Canada, and have put out a pick-up order if Jorden is seen. Police also believe that Jorden may be armed and dangerous. To read more, click here.

Two men have been accused of conducting credit card scams across Southern California. The two men, Cornell “Corey” Jackson and Marquet Dorsey, dressed like women and spent more than $7,000 on 40 different transactions.

One of the scams included a sale at Trendy Sunglasses on June 1st, where one of the men purchased the sunglasses and the other man pretended to work for Visa in order to authorize the transaction over the phone. Trendy Sunglasses became suspicious of the sale, and contacted authorities.

Another scam involved a fake driver’s license and the purchase of an Infiniti SUV, along with a scam with a fake credit card account.

Jackson has been charged with six felony counts, and Dorsey has been charged with seven. Both men appear to be wearing make-up in their booking photos (pictured above).
