The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office recently arrested a 26-year-old man into custody, cited as a person of interest in the brutal murder of a 20-year-old found bound in her apartment. According to the arrest warrant, the Seminole County man told the authorities that a masked woman killed his former roommate.

Seminole County Man Had Romantic Interests in Victim

A Seminole County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson declared on Saturday that 26-year-old Asgeirr Ulfr was arrested in connection with an Apopka home slaying.

According to the authorities, the events started to unfold last week when Ulfr dialed 911 and told the operator that he found 20-year-old Christina Daniella Scarr unresponsive in her bedroom.

When asked to describe the situation, Ulfr told the authorities that he swung by Scarr’s home to drop off a key when he found the door ajar. After entering the house, the individual claimed to see a woman wearing a leather mask leaving through the back door.

Once he stepped into the bedroom, he found Scarr lying on the bed. According to Ulfr’s description, Scarr’s face was entirely covered by duct tape, with both hands bound to the bed with the same tape, and feet tied with electrical cables. Ulfr also told the 911 operator that the assailant shot him in the leg before vanishing.

An investigation revealed that the man deliberately concealed several facts about Scarr and about what happened in her Apopka house.

According to the authorities, Scarr and Ulfr met at the beginning of January, while working at the Olive Garden restaurant and ended up becoming roommates. While some sources speculate that they might have been romantically involved, Scarr’s boyfriend told the authorities that they were only roommates and coworkers.

However, after a short while, Ulfr developed feelings for Scarr who was already committed. Allegedly, the Seminole County man installed an application on Scarr’s iPhone in order to track her movements.

Ulfr’s statement was entirely destroyed after the authorities found two weapons at his house and electric cables in his car’s trunk.

The man was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

And this week’s piece of curious news comes all the way from historic Martha’s Vineyard where a woman has slapped a Canadian porn company with a federal lawsuit after she found out that dozens of adult movies were shot in the house she rented. A company’s lawyer insists that the landlord’s case is unfounded and that no breach of contract occurred.

Porn Company Dismisses Massachusetts Woman’s Claims

Leah Bassett is a Martha’s Vineyard resident and owner of a sumptuous home which, according to her claims, was raised and decorated with the help of her father.

In October 2014, Bassett was approached by Joshua Spafford, a representative of Mile High Distribution Inc, a Canadian-based film company that mainly produces adult films. Spafford shook hands with Bassett over renting her house for an extended winter, disclosing the details about what the company’s desire to rent her home.

Based on the woman’s claims and the landlord-tenant contract, the Martha’s Vineyard house was leased to the company between October 2014 and May 2015.

However, following a personal investigation, the woman realized, much to her bewilderment, that the home she rented to the said porn company was actually shooting pornographic movies in her house.

More than that, the woman stated in the recently filed federal lawsuit, that, according to her information, since the company moved in, it has shot approximately 24 adult films.

Bassett told the press that she was appalled to discover that the actors did ‘porn stuff’ in every area of the house, including the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms.

The woman declared that she Spafford and other members of the company deliberately hid from her the reason behind renting the house. Furthermore, the Martha’s Vineyard homeowner claims that the porn company also violated her intellectual right as most of the adult movies shot in her home featured her artwork.

On Friday, the Barnstable County authorities arrested 35-year-old Randy Brunelle and charged with larceny, breaking and entering, and attempting to commit a crime. According to Brunelle’s arrest warrant, the Barnstable County man burglarized several homes while the tenants were at funerals or wakes.

Barnstable County Man Named the ‘Obit Bandit’ By Local Press

A Barnstable County Police Department spokesperson declared that, on Friday, Randy Brunelle, the individual who the press called the ‘Obit Bandit’ after his MO, was taken into custody.

The individual was arrested after traffic monitor officers stopped his car near Plymouth and discovered a rather large stash of jewelry and other objects stole from his victims.

According to the authorities, the ‘Obit Bandit’ had a rather peculiar way of choosing his targets. The man would consult the local newspapers’ obituary section to determine if he could plan a hit at the location.

Most of the times, while Brunelle broke into their homes, the owners were away either attending the funeral or wake of a relative.

The Barnstable County man came to the attention of the local authorities following a burglary in 2012. Back then, Brunelle entered the house of a Sandwich law enforcement official and stole valuables while the homeowner was attending his recently-departed mother’s funeral.

He was promptly arrested and served 18 months in prison before being released. Based on the reports, the Barnstable County authorities believe that the individual might have burglarized anywhere from two to seven houses since he was released from prison.

Conclusion

Brunelle’s most recent victim was a Cotuit homeowner who was attending his mother’s wake. The incident occurred on the 9^th of February. Around the same period, Brunelle would target the home of an 89-year-old woman from Centerville but would shortly give up the job after discovering that the woman and her nurse were at home.

From utter despair to obtrusive outbreaks – these are words that best describe the Yoselyn Ortega trial, the woman who’s allegedly guilty of the 2015 Krim kids slaying. While last week, Miladys Garcia, Ortega’s sister baffled the prosecution with her supernatural explanations, this week, Jesus Frias, Ortega’s son offends the jury by calling the slaying ‘accidents.’

Son Claimed that the Krim Kids Slaying Was Nothing More than an Accident

Taking the stand on behalf of his mother, 22-year-old Jesus Frias testified before judge and jury. When confronted with the question regarding his mother’s motives for butchering Lulu and Leo on the 25^th of October 2012, Frias responded that the unfortunate outcome of this story could be explained by Ortega’s deep-seated sadness.

However, Frias managed to outrage Stuart Silber, the assistant district attorney, and prosecutor, when he declared before the court that the deaths of Lulu and Leo were nothing more than accidents. Frias quickly made the necessary corrections and went on with his testimony.

According to Ortega’s son, his mother cared deeply for Lulu and Leo. He exemplified the tight bond between his mother and the Krim kids by recalling that the Lulu would often draw pictures of Ortega and that Mrs. Krim would put Lulu on the phone to talk to Ortega and to exercise her Spanish.

Of course, the prosecution also quoted from Miladys Garcia’s statement, specifically the part about the slayings being the family’s fault. Frias did not comment on that but said that her mother was under considerable pressure.

Conclusion

The young man was also questioned about Garcia’s claims regarding Ortega being assaulted by a supernatural entity she called ‘the black ma’ or ‘the black shadow.’ Frias stated that he had no knowledge of her mother’s encounter with the supernatural but claims that during their last phone call, he heard the voice of a man saying “I need help” just before the woman hung up.
