Orange County investigators are looking for a serial rapist in the rio grande area of Orlando. They say he's raped two women at gun point. He was allegedly attempting to make another woman his victim when he realized he'd met his match. He broke into her home and began punching her in her face. Somehow they managed to end up outside fighting and she grabbed him by his dreadlocks and drug him by his hair. They ended up falling on the ground where she was able to get on top of him...she's a stealth woman....she held him down until he took a plug out of her arm biting her. He broke free and ran away! She's a tough chick who wouldn't be taken! So he has several scratches and marks to prove he met up with this woman!

Okay...this is one to write about. I'm working on story today where a 53 year old woman has been arrested for abusing her 92 year old husband. They got married earlier this year. He's legally blind and confined to a wheelchair. Investigators say his caregivers reported he was sleep deprived and being kept in poor health by turning the thermostat below 60 degrees in the home. She basically failed to keep him in a healthy environment after he was recently released from the hospital with bronchitis. In addition to this, she's withdrawn over $100,000 dollars from his account which remains unaccounted for. I'm hoping to talk to both victim and perpetrator.....stay tuned for this one!

Are you familiar with this scam? Well it's based on building confidence in the "pigeon" or victim. A person will gain the trust of someone..then they convince them to give up a certain amount of money in order to secure the rights to a larger sum of money or valuable object. Realistically the scammers gets the money the pigeon (victim) is left with nothing. Police say they're focusing on seniors. They befriend them and gain their trust...usually running errands taking them to doctors appointments...etc. Then they convince them to take out loans, go through their bank accounts...any number of ways they scheme to take from the elderly. The holidays are nearing so they say be careful to keep your eyes open for them.

It's really interesting to go to Biketoberfest. You see all kinds of people there. Some who look like they've lived life well, and others who, well seem to have allowed life to live them...depending on how you look at it. It's interesting though to see the mix. I consider myself to be pretty safe minded...however...it looks invigorating!!! I kind wished I could hop on one today by myself just to see if it's as great a ride as soooo many have declared. I just have this thing with being on the open highway with no physical protection ;- )...lol!

Are you kidding me?!?!? Another teacher has been arrested for having relations with two students. I read the affadavit and it's scary. The 38 year old woman was literally having a love affair in her mind where she felt this sixteen year old child was her confidant. Question...do you feel a fourteen, fifteen, sixteen year old could provide the emotional stability of a mate for a grown woman? Just asking!!!
