WTF: 11 Baby Corpses Found Hidden In The Ceiling Of A Detroit Funeral Home

Getty Images Construction workers were on site of a former funeral home in Michigan when they shockingly found 11 infant corpses hidden in the ceiling. According to the Detroit News , eight of the baby bodies were stored in a cardboard box and three were found in separate garbage bags that were stuffed into one casket. Detective Lt. Brian Bowser told reporters that state officials had received an anonymous letter in the mail Friday, informing them that the infant bodies were hidden inside. “The letter detailed the existence of human remains inside the funeral home.They were met here by the current owner who admitted them entry. They went to the location described in the letter and located a couple boxes. One box and one small casket. They were kind of hidden away. It’s just the callousness of the operators, the owners, the employees of the funeral home.” DPD Lt. Detective Brian Bowser says they recovered bodies of 11 stillborns improperly stowed in a “hidden false ceiling between the first and second floor of the funeral home” after an anonymous letter was sent to LARA Friday. @detroitnews pic.twitter.com/unqxCanety — Sarah Rahal (@SarahRahal_) October 13, 2018 However, Jameca LaJoyce Boone, the manager of Cantrell Funeral Home, told reporters, “I didn’t know anything about that,” she told The Detroit News. “I really don’t know how that could even have happened. I don’t know how long that’s been going on there… it’s very unfortunate and they definitely need to find out who put them there. State officials shut down the funeral home back in April after inspectors found decomposing remains and “deplorable conditions. The Wayne County medical examiner’s office will notify families of the deceased babies immediately.

Highest Paid Actresses of 2014: What Oscar Winner Raked in More Than $50 MILLION?

Forbes released its annual list of the highest paid actors in Hollywood last month, and we’re still stunned by just how much cash the film industry’s top earners pulled in. Today, the esteemed finance magazine unveiled a list of the movie world’s most well-off women. As usual, the highest-paid ladies didn’t earn quite as much as their male counterparts (in some ways, Hollywood is just like the rest of the world), but they pulled in some pretty impressive pay days, nonetheless. Highest Paid Actresses of 2014 10. Kristen Stewart Like her relationship with Robert Pattinson, the Twilight franchise is a distant memory for Kristen. Even so, residuals from the blockbuster films make up a big chunk of the $12 million KStew’s earned in the past year. Sandra Bullock tops the list this year with an astonishing $51 million in earnings. Not only did Bullock take the top spot by a wide margin, she trounced last year’s highest paid actress , Angelina Jolie, who took home a paltry $33 million in 2013. Industry analysts say Bullock’s big time bucks came primarily from the critically-acclaimed Gravity . Veteran stars like Sandra are usually able to negotiate deals in which they a small chunk of a blockbuster’s profits. Coming in at a distant second is Jennifer Lawrence who made $34 million by combining big budget fare like The Hunger Games , with lower-key, more personal films like American Hustle .  Rounding out the top three with $31 million in earnings is Jennifer Aniston. Jen may not have starred in any major box office in the last 12 months (or ever, really), but her product endorsement deals coupled with still-lucrative Friends residuals made 2014 one of her biggest years yet. Jump into the gallery above to check out the rest of the top ten. But be warned: we’re not responsible if the amount of money Gwyneth Paltrow made this year drives you into a deep depression.

Quote Of The Day: Detroit Councilwoman Tells President Obama “We Voted For You… Now Bail Us Out!!!” As City Heads Toward Bankruptcy

Does Barack Obama owe the City of Detroit a bailout? One city councilwoman seems to think so. Via MyFoxDetroit : The city of Detroit faces a major financial crisis and one member of city council thinks President Barack Obama should step in and help. City Council member JoAnn Watson said Tuesday the citizens support of Obama in last month’s election was enough reason for the president to bailout the struggling the city. “Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that,” said Watson. “Of course, not just that, but why not?” Nearly 75 percent of Wayne County voters pulled the lever for Obama in November. “After the election of Jimmy Carter, the honorable Coleman Alexander Young, he went to Washington, D.C. He came home with some bacon,” said Watson. “That’s what you do.” Young served as Detroit’s mayor for 20 years and served as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1977 to 1981. The White House has expressed no plans to bailout the cash-crunched city that some experts say could run out of money by the end of the year. The federal government has bailed out cities in the past, however. In 1975, President Gerald Ford extended more than $2 billion in credit to New York City to help it avoid a financial collapse. What do you think President Obama should do? If he bails out Detroit, where does it end?

Jesus Take The Wheel–Prosecutor Says Detroit Dad Killed His Baby Girl Over Potty Training?!?!

Bianca Jones has been missing since December 2, 2011. And her Dad insists she was abducted in a carjacking. According to The Huffington Post… A Detroit man was so obsessed over toilet training that he fatally beat his 2-year-old daughter for having an accident, a prosecutor said Wednesday in an opening statement to jurors at the man’s first-degree murder trial. D’Andre Lane also is charged with child abuse in the Dec. 2 disappearance of Bianca Jones, whose body has never been found. Lane told police the toddler was abducted during a carjacking. The car was found less than an hour later, but the girl wasn’t in it. Lane, who has fathered seven children with seven women, is accused of beating Bianca to death with a stick with a towel wrapped in duct tape, and disposing of her body. Lane told officers during questioning that he had spanked the child for wetting herself. “He believed that if 2-year-olds had accidents they should be physically punished,” Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Carin Goldfarb told jurors. “The defendant staged a carjacking to cover up the death of his baby.” Lane put the child’s body in the car the next day as he was going to take an older daughter and a nephew to school, Goldfarb said. “The defendant staged a carjacking to cover up the death of his baby,” the prosecutor said. SMH…we still don’t understand how parents can do this to their kids like this. Images via The Huffington Post

Jesus Take The Wheel: Woman Fatally Shot In Detroit When Hug Accidentally Triggered Gun Of Off-Duty Police Officer

Detroit Woman Fatally Shot From Gun Accidentally Triggered By Hug Wow. This is tragically sad. A woman celebrating the weekend before her 25th birthday was fatally shot Sunday when she hugged an off-duty police officer while dancing at a party, causing the officer’s service weapon to fire, according to police and her mother. Adaisha Miller would have turned 25 on Monday, according to her mother, Yolanda McNair. The shooting happened at an outdoor social gathering about 12:30 a.m., said police Sgt. Eren Stephens. It happened on the city’s west side. According to Stephens, the woman “embraced the officer from behind, causing the holstered weapon to accidently discharge.” The bullet punctured Miller’s lung and hit her heart, and she died at a hospital. Stephens said the Detroit officer will remain on administrative duties while authorities investigate the shooting and report their findings to the Wayne County prosecutor. The officer’s name was not released. “For this to happen to her, whether they want to call it freak accident or mistake in judgment, it should have never happened to my child, and there’s nothing I can do to get her back,” McNair told WDIV-TV. McNair said her daughter was out to mark her upcoming birthday. “All she wanted to do was enjoy the weekend for her birthday,” the mother said. “She had every right to enjoy turning 25 and look beyond that.” R.I.P.
