About Michael Turner

Remember that strange guy from high-school who never seems to be paying any attention to classes and is completely absorbed by his doodles and sketches? That’s was me 14 years ago. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember - according to my mom, since I was in diapers - and that has never changed - except for the diaper part.

For a very long time I thought that animations and graphic design are my calling, but two years ago I got side-tracked and started building an interactive website with a couple of friends. It received instant gratification from fellow internet users, and that’s when I realized that the virtual medium is where I belong.

I can freely share my passions with others, work on ingenious new projects and find the most fascinating information about, well, everything. I spend most of my free time writing reviews for crazy gadgets on ArgyllFreePress, I work as an interactive designer for an independent firm and I also received my Fine Arts degree from the University of Oxford.

Beachfront Bargain Hunt Guest Diagnosed with Neck Cancer by Doc Watching Show from Home

June 6, 2018 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

New York super doc diagnoses neck cancer while watching TV show.

Having a keen eye for details is a skill every doctor should master but to be able to diagnose a patient while you’re at home, watching television, is truly a gift. Believe it or not, this recently happened in New York, after an otolaryngologist tracked down a TV show guest to tell her that she might have neck cancer.

Ear, Nose, and Throat Doctor Tracks Down Woman on Social Media for Neck Cancer

This week story of beyond and above the call of duty in Medicine comes from bustling New York. Dr. Erich Voigt is an otolaryngologist (ear, neck, and throat doctor) at NYU Langone Health and, apparently, a fan of Beachfront Bargain Hunters TV series.

In a recent Facebook post, Dr. Vogt wrote that last week, he was watching an episode of the said TV show when he noticed something usual.

Voigt told a local news outlet that when Nicole McGuinness popped on screen, his doc senses started tingling. More specifically, Dr. Voigt saw that the 32-year-old woman had a suspicious lump on her neck. The lump could only be seen when the TV show’s guest was talking.

The doc wrote on his Facebook that he immediately realized that the woman has neck cancer. Now, instead of changing the channel, Dr. Voigt took to social media and asked all his bodies to help him track down the woman. Voigt wrote that the woman needs a fine needle biopsy and a sonogram because she definitely has a left thyroid mass.

Conclusion

He ultimately managed to get ahold of McGuinness. Of course, the woman ran to her doctor, who later confirmed the diagnostic.

McGuiness, who’s a cancer survivor, recently declared that Dr. Voigt saved her life.

The ear, nose, and throat doctor declared that he’s eager to meet his long-distance patient.

The four-year-old was shot in the chest with a real gun.

Louisa County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating an accidental shooting that took place on Tuesday afternoon. According to the police report, a two-year-old boy fatally shot his four-year-old brother with a real gun he mistook for a toy.

Real Gun Was Sitting in Plain View Authorities Declared

Major Donald Lowe of Louisa County Sheriff’s Office declared that on Tuesday afternoon a woman called 911 to report a shooting at her home located near the East Old Mountain Road.

First responders found a 4-year-old male child with a gunshot wound to the chest. The child was airlifted to the UVA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

The investigation revealed that the 4-year-old boy was inside the house, playing with Tyler Aponte, his 2-year-old brother. While in the living room, Tyler went to another area of the house and came back with a loaded gun.

Mistaking it for a toy, Tyler pointed the weapon towards his brother’s chest and pulled the trigger. Based on the police report, the shooting occurred before 11:00 a.m. Tyler’s mother and his elder brothers were inside the house at the time of the incident.

Lowe declared that, at the moment, the deputies are trying to establish how the 2-year-old gained access to a real gun.

Thus far, the authorities discovered that the gun was left in an area of the weapon which was easily accessible. Charges could be pressed against Tyler’s mother.

Conclusion

Meanwhile, the family is making preparation for the boy’s funeral. Linda Eddy, the family’s next-door neighbor, told the police that she was shocked to hear about the shooting. She knew something was amiss when she got out of the house and police car outside of her neighbor’s house.

Lowe declined to offer additional details about the case. He mentioned that the case is still being investigated.

Grim Sacramento Storage Unit Discovery Leads to the Arrest of Couple

May 21, 2018 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

storage unit

The child’s body was found in a similar storage unit.

On Wednesday, Reno authorities arrested Tyler and Averyauna Anderson, a Nevada couple on suspicion of murder. The couple’s arrest came soon after the authorities discovered the body of a 5-year-old child hidden inside a Sacramento storage unit.

Couple Placed Body In Storage Unit After Keeping it in Closet

Sacramento authorities confirmed that Tyler and Averyauna Anderson of Nevada have been arrested and charged with homicide and concealing evidence.

According to the authorities, the Andersons were declared persons of interest after Leyanie Robinson, Tyler’s former wife and the biological mother of Cali Anderson, reported the child missing.

Nevada and California authorities worked together in an attempt to track down the missing infant. Their search led them to U-Haul, a self-storage unit from Sacramento.

Based on the police report, one of U-Haul’s managed called 911 to report a foul odor coming from one of the rented units.

Upon opening the storage unit, the authorities discovered the badly-decomposed body of the 5-year-old. Moreover, the autopsy confirmed that the body belonged to the missing Cali Anderson.

According to the coroner, Cali was malnourished and emaciated. Furthermore, the cause of death proved to be blunt trauma to the head.

During questioning, the Andersons admitted killing the child. Furthermore, based their confession, on the 4th of May, the child became unresponsive.

However, the couple did not call 911. Instead, Tyler placed the body inside a duffel bag, which he later locked in the closet.

One week later, Tyler rented a car and used it to transport Cali’s body to the storage unit.

Conclusion

Tyler Anderson was charged with manslaughter and his wife with child abuse and concealing evidence.

Regrettably, the investigation is far from over. The authorities have yet to establish the couple’s motive. Robinson, Cali’s biological mother, declared that she didn’t believe that Tyler could be capable of hurting his daughter.

Clovis Father Tackled Man that Was Sexting His Teen Daughter

May 11, 2018 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

texting

The Clovis father cooked up a plan to ensnare his daughter’s ‘friend.’

Because no ‘good’ deed should go unpunished, we give you the story of a Clovis father who publicly shamed a sexual predator before calling the authorities. The man’s tale, which was posted on his Facebook account, was accompanied by a clip of him confronting the aggressor.

Clovis Father Had no Idea Where His Daughter Got Her Cell

Todd Thomas, a Clovis father, should be considered a model parent for the way he managed to rescue her teenage daughter from a life of sexual servitude.

During a recent interview, the man recalled how he managed to uncover the identity of the individual who wanted to take advantage of his teenaged daughter.

According to Thomas, it all started in March 2017 when he went to check up on his daughter. Upon entering her bedroom, the man saw that the teen fell asleep with a cellphone in hand.

Thomas told the reporters that he doesn’t allow her daughter to own a cell phone because he believes that the electronic devices are more addictive than heroin.

Slightly upset, the Clovis father took away the device. Surprisingly enough, after just a couple of days, Thomas saw his daughter fingering another phone.

Intrigued, the man picked up the phone and started perusing its contents. He was mortified to discover that an individual, who apparently liked to be called “Sugar Daddy” or “Master” was sending sexually explicit messages to his teenage daughter.

Conclusion

Since revenge is a dish best served called, the Clovis father texted “Master” from his daughter’s phone and asked to meet him in a park. But he didn’t come alone.

Thomas asked a close friend to come with him in order to tape the whole encounter. Upon arriving at the park, Thomas met his daughter’s friend, later identified as 42-year-old Hugo Rabson.

After a short ‘talk,’ Thomas and his friend tackled Rabson and gift wrapped him for the authorities.

Oxfordshire Woman Sentenced After Mother Died in Pool of Diarrhea

May 2, 2018 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

Oxfordshire Woman

Mother of recently sentenced Oxfordshire woman stood in her own waste five days after she died.

The Oxford Crown Court recently sentenced a 41-year-old Oxfordshire woman to two-and-a-half years in prison after her mother was discovered dead in her house on the 2nd of July 2014. Prosecution declared that the elderly woman was found lying in a pool of diarrhea and that she had urine burns on her body.

Oxfordshire Woman Diagnosed with Mild Autism, Judge Noted

On Friday, Judge Peter Ross of the Oxford Crown Court sentenced 41-year-old Emma-Jane Kurtz of Oxfordshire to two-and-a-half-years in prison for gross neglect that led to the death of her 79-year-old mother.

Ross ordered Kurtz to serve at least half of her prison sentence in light of the graphical evidence presented by the prosecution.

According to the court documents, Cecily Kurtz, Emma-Jane’s mother, was diagnosed with dementia several years ago. Since then, the woman could no longer care for herself, being reliant on the help of her daughter.

In July 2014, the British authorities went to Emma-Jane’s house to check up on her bed-ridden mother. The scene alone would make even the most seasoned police officer turn away in pity and disgust.

According to the police report detailing the Kurtz case, Cecily was found lying on a diarrhea-soaked sofa. Visibly neglected, the 78-year-old woman’s white diaper was mahogany, and she had severe urine burns on her body.

Even more appalling is the fact that the woman was found in an unnatural position, with her chin on her knees. The post-mortem investigation revealed that Cecily Kurtz stood in that position five days after her death.

Francesca Griffin, a Detective Constable, declared that the woman’s clothes nearly fell apart when the paramedics attempted to remove the body from the sofa.

Conclusion

While the defense argued that Oxfordshire woman has autism, Judge Roos dismisses the mental illness defense, arguing that the woman’s condition is mild and can, therefore, be held accountable for her acts.

Georgia Authorities ID and Arrest Sexual Predator Posing as Uber Driver

April 24, 2018 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

Sexual Predator

Georgia authorities said that sexual predator managed to accost two women and rape one by posing as Uber driver.

The Georgia authorities recently managed to arrest a dangerous sexual predator who raped a 25-year-old University student. According to the victims, the individual posed as an Uber driver. Police were able to ID and track down suspects using victims’ snapshots of the car’s interior.

Sexual Predator Recognize by Police Officer Who Told Him to Move Car

During a recent press conference, Captain Jerry Sault, the CO of Athens-Clarke County’s Criminal Investigation Division, announced that 56-year-old Emerson Redd was taken into custody and charged with several counts of rape and attempted rape.

Sault stated that Redd’s arrest took 30 hours of hard work and involved state troopers, county deputies, and members of the sexual predator division.

According to Sault’s statements, the first incident involved Redd occurred on Friday night, at around 1:15 a.m. While cruising down the East Washington Street, Redd stopped in front of the Uptown Lounge after seeing a 21-year-old woman with her smartphone in hand.

Pretending to be the Uber ride she ordered, Redd invited the young woman in his car and drove away. Several minutes into the ride, Redd’s victim realized that something is amiss, as the sexual predator had no GPS nor any car markings to suggest that he’s an Uber driver.

After confronting Redd, the man allegedly touched her between the legs. The woman asked Redd to stop and open the passenger’s door. Redd complied and drove off.

An hour later, the individual found another victim, a 25-year-old University student roughly in the same area as his first victim.

After picking up the woman, Redd took off, still pretending to be an Uber Driver. When the woman confronted Redd about the missing GPS, the man allegedly secured the doors and raped her. He later released the woman.

Conclusion

Based on the victims’ testimonies, snapshots depicting the vehicle’s interior, and a police officer claiming to have warned the individual about illegal parking, the authorities were able to track down and arrest the individual.

April 23, 2018 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

Texas Teen Gets Car Stolen and Thrashed

Texas teen left without car after responding to a road accident.

A Texas teen had his car stolen and trashed after responding to a roadside accident. According to the authorities, the victim of the road accident witnessed by the Texas teen bolted off from his vehicle and stole the teen’s car. The suspect was later found dead, and the car totaled.

Texas Teen Said There Were Three People Inside the Vehicle

Jerry Ramirez, a high school senior and Royse City resident, will think twice before leaving the keys inside his car. Last week, Ramirez and his friends were involved in a rather peculiar incident.

According to the Texas teen, he and his buddies were cruising along a Royse City road when they’ve discovered a crashed pickup truck. Ramirez told the authorities that he and his friends got out of the car to provide assistance to the driver and the vehicle’s occupants.

The Texas teen learned that, at one point, the car’s driver, which appeared to be intoxicated, lost control of the car which hit a guardrail. While Ramirez waited for the deputies to arrive, the pickup truck’s driver bolted from the seat, ran to Ramirez’s Chrysler 300 car and drove off.

According to a Rockwall County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, the pickup truck’s driver, later identified as 29-year-old Delyn Stampf, led the authorities on a high-speed chase before disappearing.

Stampf was discovered several miles away after he crashed Ramirez’s car. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

All the pickup truck’s occupants were rushed to the hospital where they’ve received treatment for life-threatening injuries.

Conclusion

As for the Texas Teen, he’s now looking for a way to buy a new car, as his insurance doesn’t cover theft. The man even set up a GoFundMe account in an attempt to raise at least part of the sum needed to buy another car.

Incestuous Couple and Baby Found Slain on Connecticut Road

April 13, 2018 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

Incestuous Couple Found Dead

Incestuous couple found slain in Connecticut, authorities revealed.

The Connecticut authorities announced a new development in the case of Steven and Katie Pladl, the incestuous couple who had a 7-month-old baby. Following a 911 call, the authorities discovered that Pladl gunned down Katie, her adoptive father, and his biological child with Katie before turning the gun on himself. No motive has been made available.

Incestuous Couple Was Scheduled to Appear in Court

Lawrence Capps, the Knightdale Chief of Police, declared that the Pladl case had taken a dramatic turn. Following a welfare check initiated by Katie Pladl’s biological mother, the authorities discovered that Steven violated a court order by meeting with the woman with whom he had a 7-month-old baby.

Everything started with a 911 call from a New Milford resident who told the 911 operator that he heard several gunshots in the area. When the police arrived at the location, they’ve discovered a pickup truck with two bodies inside.

The coroner’s report reveals that the bodies retrieved from the truck belonged to Katie Pladl, Steven’s biological daughter and the mother of his infant, and 56-year-old Anthony Fusco, Katie’s adoptive parent.

After combing the area, the authorities discovered Pladl’s Honda minivan a couple of miles off Dover. The man had committed suicide.

At around the same time, the authorities were notified about a dead infant. After arrived at the address, the officers discovered that the dead infant belonged to the incestuous couple, more than likely executed by Pladl before gunning down her daughter and adoptive father.

Although the investigation is in full swing, the law enforcement officials have yet to uncover Pladl’s reason for killing his son, daughter, and adoptive father. More than that, Rick Friedman, Steven’s attorney declared that this turn of events was totally unexpected, as Pladl gave no indication of being capable of murder.

North Carolina Jesus Christ Breaks into Pizza Hut and Empties Mountain Dew Machines

March 26, 2018 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

Jesus Christ Caught Emptying Mountain Dew Machines in North Carolina

Man posing as Jesus Christ breaks into Pizza Hut restaurant.

On Wednesday, the North Carolina authorities had a rather a bizarre case to tackle. Claiming he was Jesus Christ returning to Earth, a 46-year-old man from North Carolina broke into a Pizza Hut restaurant and nearly emptied the Mountain Dew dispensers.

NC Jesus Christ Said People Were Mean to Him and He’s Surrounded by Judases

However unlikely it might sound, on Wednesday, at approximately 4:30 a.m., the North Carolina deputies were summoned to the High Point Pizza Hut to witness a strange miracle – Jesus Christ was standing, right there, in the middle of the restaurant, munching on pizza and chugging rivers of Mountain Dew.

The authorities who arrived at the location discovered a 46-year-old individual, later identified as Richard Lee Quintero. According to the restaurant’s employee, Quintero simply broke into the restaurant, and informed everyone, in the most conceivably casual way that he’s Jesus Christ and that he broke the window.

More than that, the half-crazed man said that there’s nothing wrong with the idea of Jesus Christ entering the restaurant and breaking a window. When he was confronted by one of the employees about what he was doing there, the man simply replied that he just sat down to eat a slice or two of pizza and drink some Mountain Dew.

The North Carolina version of Messiah didn’t seem too bothered by the sheriff’s deputies coming in and heading towards him. Reportedly, the man told the authorities that he was fed up with all the Judases in the world and that he hates everyone being mean to him on account of his schizophrenia.

After spending some time talking to the suspect, the authorities arrested the 46-year-old man and charged him with petty larceny and breaking and entering. The suspect was booked into county jail with no bail.

A Curved Penis Might Indicate a Higher Cancer Risk Among Men

November 3, 2017 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

A curved penis might indicate a higher cancer risk

Sexual organs come in all shapes and sizes, and some men might have observed they have a slightly curved penis. While many regard it as a mere anatomical difference, it seems it might work as a sign for some serious health risks. Men who have a hard time shooting straight in the toilet might be more likely to develop a series of cancers.

A curved penis is not just an anatomical disorder

Peyronie’s disease, or penile fibrosis, is the condition which causes men to have a curved penis, and affects quite a large number of people. It was believed this was only an anatomical defect, but researchers decided to investigate. Therefore, they started a study with a sample of over 1.5 million men.

The results weren’t too encouraging, as it turns out a curved penis might lead to other health problems. Those men who suffer from the condition have a 40 percent higher risk of stomach cancer and of testicular cancer, and a 29 percent higher risk of melanoma. As a result, researchers are now urging men who live with the condition go and get proper cancer screenings. Also, doctors should be more careful with such patients, and advise them to get more thorough investigations.

The cancer risk is real, and physicians should thoroughly consider it

Many men take a curved penis for granted, and fail to associate it with other possible conditions that might arise. However, a genetic analysis of a father and son who both suffered from Peyronie’s disease showed they both had genes which increased their likelihood of developing testicular cancer.

It’s not clear yet what causes the link between cancer and a curved penis, but it’s clear that it exists. Therefore, it’s essential that everybody should be aware of it. However, cancer screening might be dangerous in some situations, so doctors should be careful when assessing one’s risk and necessity to undergo the procedure.

The research has been presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
