    The Gilgo Beach serial killer case has haunted New York's Long Island community for more than a decade, ever since the first of multiple bodies were discovered along Ocean Parkway in December 2010. More than a decade later, in July 2023, Massapequa Park local Rex Heuermann was then dramatically arrested as he left his office in midtown Manhattan. Now, Daily Mail Senior Crime Reporter Ruth Bashinsky has closely examined the intricate details surrounding the Gilgo Beach Murders in a new crime show - including her own haunting 'encounter' with the suspect. Heuermann has been charged with the murders of seven...

    The New York Times published a 400-word report last week about the rape of a corpse aboard a New York City subway train — but nowhere in the article did the paper mention that the suspect, Felix Rojas, is an illegal alien. Rojas, 44, was arrested for first-degree rape after police say he violated the body of a dead man on an R train in Manhattan on April 9. Surveillance footage reportedly captured Rojas entering the nearly empty train at the Whitehall Street–South Ferry station, rummaging through the pockets of a deceased man and then sexually assaulting the corpse before...

    Two men working on behalf of the Chinese government’s Ministry of Public Security attempted to bribe an IRS agent in a scheme intended to further Beijing’s harassment of Falun Gong believers, the Justice Department revealed in a criminal complaint unveiled today. The defendants were arrested today in California on charges including acting as unregistered foreign agents, money laundering, and bribery. “The Chinese government has yet again attempted, and failed, to target critics of the PRC here in the United States,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement this afternoon. “The Justice Department will continue to investigate, disrupt, and prosecute...

    Now that President Trump is back in the White House, it’s time to take a victory lap and remind every smug liberal that their so-called “34-time convicted felon” narrative was always a sham. We knew it. You knew it. And now, with the truth coming to light, even some of them are starting to wake up. Because here’s the reality: That entire case was a disgraceful political hit job, and the most blatant abuse of the justice system we’ve ever seen. The Biden DOJ never even bothered to hide their corruption. They weaponized the courts like a banana republic, hoping...

    In a stunning and sweeping emergency injunction that has even stunned the people who demanded it, a Manhattan-based District Judge has just removed Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent from his authority over the Treasury Department; blocked any political appointee from accessing records within the Treasury Department; blocked any “special appointee” of President Trump from records within Treasury; and demanded that all information previously extracted be destroyed. The emergency injunction was signed by District Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan, determined without any input from the Trump administration and applies until Friday, February 14, 2025, when U.S. District Judge Jeannette A. Vargas...

    As reported earlier, former Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, 71, sobbed in court as he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for bribery and corruption. A tearful Menendez sobbed as he begged SDNY Judge Sidney Stein to have mercy on him. The judge showed no mercy to “Gold Bar Bob” and sentenced him to 11 years. Last summer a jury convicted Senator Bob Menendez on all bribery and corruption charges. The jury returned the verdict following a 9-week trial. Menendez did not testify. In October 2023 Bob Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent in a superseding indictment....

    The MTA held a cheery celebration to unveil a new “Congestion Relief Zone” sign in Manhattan, just hours before drivers will feel the pain as the controversial toll goes into effect in the Big Apple. The agency’s CEO Janno Lieber seemed to have no concern for the many lawsuits and pleas from commuters aiming to stop the new $9 toll, as he personally unveiled a toll sign Saturday at one of the entry points to the zone at Broadway and W. 61st St. Video shared by the MTA on social media shows a small crowd of toll supporters and elected...

    A political war on the Hudson erupted Monday over New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the MTA’s controversial $9 congestion toll. The MTA can now begin collecting the first-in-the-nation congestion fee on Sunday, Jan. 5, to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street — following a federal judge’s ruling in Newark. While Judge Leo Gordon said environmental mitigation concerns on the Jersey side of the Hudson have to be addressed, he chose not to issue a preliminary injunction to block implementation of the toll in his 72-page ruling. “The decision does not interfere with the program’s scheduled implementation this coming Sunday,...

    A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a $5-million verdict that E. Jean Carroll won against Donald Trump when a jury found the U.S. president-elect liable for sexually abusing and later defaming the former magazine columnist. . . . . The May 2023 verdict stemmed from an incident around 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan, where Carroll said Trump raped her, and an October 2022 Truth Social post where Trump denied Carroll’s claim as a hoax. Though jurors in federal court in Manhattan did not find that Trump committed rape, they awarded the former Elle...

    A New York City man accused of running a secret Chinese government police station in Chinatown, Manhattan, has pleaded guilty. On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace stated that Chen Jinping, 60, pleaded guilty to conspiring to act as an agent of the government of China. “A priority of my office has been to counteract the malign activities of foreign governments that violate our nation’s sovereignty by targeting local diaspora communities in the United States,” Peace said. “Today, a participant in a transnational repression scheme who worked to establish a secret police station in...

    Jon Stewart’s ‘Daily Show’ audience erupted into boos on Tuesday night when the suspect UnitedHealthcare shooter’s capture was mentioned during the host’s monologue. The Wrap notes most of Stewart’s opening monologue revolved around the fall of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria and the tyrant’s subsequent flight to Russia. “Eleven days? How did they manage to end a decade-long civil war and defeat the entire Syrian military in just 11 days?” Stewart pondered aloud. He then asked his cameraperson to zoom in on a photo of Syrian rebels celebrating their victory. Photoshopped in the background was the UnitedHealthcare shooter with Stewart...

    Luigi Mangione suffered a violent meltdown as he arrived at court after being arrested for the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione, 26, could be heard roaring about cops being 'completely out of touch' and 'insulting the intelligence of the American people' as he was bundled into court by a horde of sheriff's deputies for his extradition hearing. The suspected murderer was clad in an orange jumpsuit and had to be restrained as he was brought in to face a judge at Blair County Courthouse in Altoona,

    (NewsNation) — On Monday, a jury found Daniel Penny not guilty in the death of Jordan Neely, who he held in a chokehold for roughly six minutes on a New York subway. Neely, an agitated but unarmed homeless man, did not touch any passengers. One said he made lunging movements that alarmed her enough that she shielded her 5-year-old from him, which caused Marine veteran Penny to intervene. Donte Mills, the attorney for Neely’s family, told “CUOMO” that Monday’s ruling shows “we don’t value” everyone equally

    Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said New York City subway riders should be scared of Daniel Penny after he was found not guilty in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely — sparking swift backlash from straphangers who blasted the lefty lawmaker as “delusional.” Penny, 26, was acquitted of all charges by a Manhattan jury Monday following the high-profile trial over the fatal, caught-on-camera encounter with the troubled homeless man on an uptown F train last year. In a previous clip that has gone viral on X after the acquittal, Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Penny’s apparent lack of remorse could mean he could...

    Luigi Nicholas Mangione, the whiz kid Ivy League-educated high school valedictorian accused of the execution-style murder of the CEO of one of the nation's largest healthcare providers, may have spiraled out of control after traumatic back surgery. The procedure, which allegedly left Mangione in significant physical and emotional distress, may have contributed to his deteriorating mental state, a factor authorities are considering as part of their investigation. New York prosecutors have formally accused 26-year-old Mangione, a native of Towson, Maryland, of the fatal shooting of United Healthcare executive Brian Thompson. The incident occurred outside the New York Hilton in midtown...

The sources say it is too soon to determine if his case is connected to the death of Brian Thompson, but they are investigating it as a potentially significant development. According to the sources, customers at a local McDonald's thought he looked suspicious and called police. Arriving officers noticed a fake...
