CAPE CORAL, Fla. — A Lee County jury convicted Wade Wilson of gruesomely murdering two Cape Coral women in Oct. 2019. That same jury recommended that Wilson be sentenced to the death penalty after an hour and a half of deliberations. 35-year-old Kristine Melton and 43-year-old Diane Ruiz were strangled as part of a cross-county crime spree. In addition to the two first-degree murder charges, Wilson was convicted of grand theft, battery, burglary and petit theft.

In Cape Coral, Florida, residents reported sightings of green lasers scanning the ground from a plane in the middle of the night, prompting confusion and concern. In an effort to uncover the source of these lasers, one neighbor took matters into their own hands by purchasing flight radar to narrow down the search. Upon inputting the information into an FAA registry, it was revealed that the plane in question is registered to RANDIGO LLC. Interestingly, Randigo LLC owns a total of 33 aircraft and employs 33 individuals. Context is written by people who use X, and appears when rated helpful...

MOVING BEYOND CAPE BOJADOR The early Portuguese explorers believed that the oceans were impassable below Cape Bojador, a point on the West African coast. When sailors set aside their fears and moved past Cape Bojador, they found that their fears were groundless, that their limitations were imaginary. We all have our own Cape Bojador. We fear things that we need not fear. We draw boundaries around areas of our lives and decide that we can't go past them. Since we believe these false paradigms, we will stay within their artificial boundaries and lose whatever experiences we might have found...

We have received a copy of the Cape Town Mail of Aug. 19, giving full details of the operations of the Alabama, Georgia and the Tuscaloosa at the Cape of Good Hope, and make the following extracts. It says: "On the 27th of July, no little excitement was caused in Cape Town on the arrival of the coasting schooner Rover, from Walwich Bay, with the news that the Confederate steamer Alabama had actually made her appearance about twenty-five miles off Green Point. Her Captain reported that he was stopped and boarded by a boat from the steamer, which asked them...

The ‘cancel culture’ campaign is ratcheting up again as the 2024 election campaign season heats up. Carly Tefft, a 2015 graduate of Berklee College of Music, recently relocated to Nashville in pursuit of her music career. While she still considers Massachusetts her home, Tefft has garnered significant recognition, being hailed as a “phenomenon” by the Boston Globe and receiving praise from Matty in the Morning on Kiss 108. However, Tefft’s performances at Harvest Gallery in Dennis, MA were abruptly canceled after she sang the national anthem at an event hosted by a former president, causing her presence to be deemed...

CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Sometimes the situation just calls for a cold one. Just before midnight on February 8th, Lee County Sheriff’s deputies drove North on Chiquita Boulevard. As they approached Gleason Parkway, something caught their eye. A black Mercedes-Benz parked in the opposite lane. The vehicle was just sitting there. Lights on. With no traffic causing the stoppage. Deputies crept behind the car, flicked on their flashing lights, and tried to determine if the vehicle might have been abandoned. As they approached the vehicle, they found 40-year-old Michael Sereda sitting alone in the passenger seat. Beer cans littered the...

Like many a tourist, white sharks come to Cape Cod for the fresh seafood and sunny beaches. The sharks don't sunbathe on the sand but their favorite prey, gray seals, do and when seals venture back into the waves they become a target. “White sharks are feeding on seals in shallow water off Cape Cod,” Greg Skomal, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries senior shark researcher, observed at the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s media day June 29 at its Chatham headquarters. “A predator prey relationship is natural in any system. We are studying various aspects of this behavior.” More:'Everyone going...
 

Two orcas killing great white sharks are scaring away sharks in South Africa. Could that happen along Cape Cod?

A pair of orcas killing great white sharks by ripping open their torsos for their livers — and as a result scaring away great whites from a South African region — has raised questions about whether that could happen along Cape Cod. But it’s “really too early to say” if killer whales will descend upon the Massachusetts coast and drive away the growing great white shark population, a local shark expert tells the Herald. “When there have been orca sightings here through the years, they’ve never really seemed to impact the white sharks in the area,” said John Chisholm, who...

If great white sharks organize a race to the Cape ahead of summer, a nearly 11-foot sub-adult female is way ahead of the pack. The more than 600-pound great white named Andromache has quickly migrated north to her summer home. She was recently detected off of Martha’s Vineyard, according to the OCEARCH tracker — which shows her as the only OCEARCH tagged shark along the Massachusetts coast. Last week, it appeared that the monstrous 1,000-pound, 12-footer adult male named Ironbound would be the first OCEARCH shark to reach the Cape, but then Andromache popped up on the western edge of...
