All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000. “What’s unnerving about this case is the fact that this individual not only stole her personal belongings, but he also has possession of her identification, which indicates where she lives, as well as the keys to her home,” said Trish Routte, Crime Stoppers Coordinator.Īnyone with information on the identity and whereabouts of the purse thief is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). The suspect is described as being around 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing approximately 170 pounds, balding and sporting several tattoos. The victim immediately notified store managers, who were able to capture an image of the man walking out of the store with the stolen hand bag, which contained credit cards, cash and keys. That’s when the male suspect quickly grabbed the purse and walked out the door with it. Police say she left her purse in the grocery cart while she browsed at several items. The victim was shopping at the Publix grocery store, located on Gladiolus Drive, last Sunday morning.
LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying a man who went grocery shopping last weekend, but ended up leaving the store with nothing but a stolen red purse in hand. Those men, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, were shot by police outside a provocative Prophet Mohammed cartoon contest. John Mulligan, the deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center, testified that one of the two men involved in an attempted terror attack in Garland, Texas, last month urged fellow Islamic State supporters before the shooting to move their communications to private Twitter messages. He said he was concerned that evolving technologies were outpacing laws that allow law enforcement to intercept communications by suspects. “There is no ability currently for us to see that” communication, he said.Īsked later in the hearing if he thought the technology companies were being unhelpful, Steinbach replied, “The companies have built a product that doesn’t allow them to help.” Some of these companies build their business model around end-to-end encryption,” said Michael Steinbach, head of the FBI’s counterterrorism division. “There are 200-plus social media companies.
The officials, appearing before the House Homeland Security Committee, said that even as thousands of Islamic State supporters around the world communicate in public view on Twitter, some are exploiting social media platforms that allow them to shield their messages from law enforcement. law enforcement officials expressed concern Wednesday about the growing use of encrypted communication and private messaging by supporters of the Islamic State, saying the technology was complicating efforts to monitor terror suspects and extremists. “Having equipment that you can keep right in your office, where you can expose them to the feared object or situation, but not have to go anywhere to do it, I think could be really exciting for treating phobias,” said Sullivan.
Sullivan says a powerful, and affordable therapy like virtual reality could change a lot of lives. Kieran Sullivan is one of the faculty advisors, who suggested the students add a feature where a therapist could adjust the height in real time. “You could very easily put this camera on the moon, you can put it underwater, you can do pretty much anything with it,” said Thurston. Their big, year-end project, had to have a so-called social benefit, something that will help others.įor these future video game designers, treating fear of heights with virtual reality was a no-brainer. That has finally put virtual reality within reach of very small teams like engineering undergrads Paul Thurston and Bryce Mariano. The Oculus Rift test goggles are just $350. The goggles are smaller, the screens, sensors, and graphics are better than ever. Virtual reality is past its awkward teenage years and growing up fast. Now there’s a high-tech way of dealing with phobias!
There’s no denying it, we’re all afraid of something.
