Police searching the Utah desert in connection with the 2009 disappearance of Susan Cox Powell found human remains Wednesday near Topaz Mountain, NBC station, KSL reported.

Investigators with cadaver dogs found the remains in the deserted, high desert mountain area 130 miles southwest of Provo, said Sgt. Mike Powell of West Valley City, as authorities awaited the arrival of a medical examiner.

“It’s a game of patience at this point,” said Powell, who is not related to the missing woman. “We need to slow down a little bit and identify what it is we found.”

He said authorities secured the scene Wednesday evening and would resume work in the morning.

There is no confirmation yet as to whether the remains are of Powell, but they were found in an area that authorities said is popular with rock hounds and where her husband, Josh Powell, liked to camp. Read the full article »

An 8-year-old boy with severe autism was found Tuesday after being missing and alone for more than 24 hours in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Joshua Robb appeared to be in good condition when search and rescue workers found him about a mile from the school he ran away from Monday.

Joshua was given food and water by search and rescue workers until a medic could be lowered by helicopter to assess his health and he is airlifted out of the area.

About 60 searchers from four counties, aided by dogs and helicopters, scoured the mountain area in the search, playing recorded music and his father’s voice in hopes of luring him to safety. Read the full article »

Men,Women Jealous of Different Things When Mate Cheats

By Dawn in Cheaters, Cheating spouse, Investigations, Private Investigator at September 19th, 2011 | No comments

A study on cheating found that men care more about sexual aspects, while women fret over emotional connection.

Romantic jealousy seems to have a gender divide when it comes to cheating: Men typically ask more questions about the sexual aspects of an affair while women inquire more about emotional infidelity, a new study finds.

The study, published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, used a modern-day phenomenon — the reality TV show “Cheaters” — to explore an age-old issue — jealousy-fueled interrogations of infidelity.

Student coders viewed 102 cases of “love triangle” confrontations between the cheater, the victim, and the person they were fooling around with. They analyzed whether a victim’s comments to the two-timer represented sexual jealousy (Was she/he better in bed than me? How many times did you have sex with her/him?) or emotional jealousy (Do you love him/her? Who do you love more?).

The research found that women, by contrast, only asked about the intimate details 29 percent of the time. And when the ladies were the victims, 71 percent of their questions centered on the emotional side of their mate’s fling, versus 43 percent of men’s inquiries.

“Relative to women, men are more distressed by sexual infidelity, and women are more upset over emotional infidelity, relative to men,” says study author Barry X. Kuhle, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Scranton in Scranton, Penn.

Video: Sienna Miller: Hacking Was ‘Atrocious​’

By Dawn in Celebrity, Crime, Hacking, invasion of privacy, Investigations, MSI Detective Services at September 19th, 2011 | No comments

Phone hacking victim Sienna Miller sat down with TODAY’s Amy Robach to discuss how the British phone hacking scandal affected her private life.

Sienna became her own detective to determine if someone was hacking into her cell phone. Miller says she planted false stories with friends in an attempt to figure out why intimate details of her life were showing up in British tabloids. She’d plant the false stories to see if they appeared in the newspaper, and thus expose a person betraying her, but the false stories never appeared. “At the time, I was incredibly paranoid,” she said.

Miller said she also became suspicious when it became clear there were a large number of voice mail messages that friends said they’d left and she never received.

Once it became clear to her what was going on, Miller said she was still reluctant to take on Rupert Murdoch’s media empire for fear that it could damage her career. “It was just too horrendous to not expose, and I was really happy that I did,” she said. -AP

Miller reached a £100,000 (NZ$191,000) settlement with the tabloid News of the World, which had hacked into her cell phone messages.
