the holdup netted nearly $1.6 million, which was recovered immediately.

In a Ponzi scheme,
potential investors are wooed with promises of unusually large returns,
usually attributed to the investment manager’s savvy, skill or some other secret
sauce.
The returns are repaid, at least for a time, out of new investors’ principal,
not from profits.
This can continue as long as new investors line up with cash,
and old investors don’t try to withdraw too much of their money at once.

Coroner Identifies Man
Whose Head Was Found in Hollywood Park
January 19, 2012
The New York Times
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Coroner's officials on Friday identified a
man whose dismembered head, hands and feet were found in a Hollywood park as a
66-year-old from Los Angeles, and police continued to hunt for his killer.
The victim's name is Hervey Medellin, coroner's Lt. David Smith said. Public
directories show Medellin lived in a Hollywood apartment near the rugged,
hillside park where his remains were found.
Investigators served a search warrant Thursday night on a Hollywood apartment in
the area, but it wasn't immediately clear if it was Medellin's apartment.
"They did serve a search warrant last night. They are following clues, and the
case is progressing. Guys are working around the clock to find out who did it
and find the rest of the body," police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said Friday.
He did not elaborate on why the warrant was served or what, if anything,
detectives found.
"We don't want to give out too much information because the investigation is
ongoing," Smith said.
Medellin's head was found Tuesday by a dog walker at Bronson Canyon Park, and
police searchers discovered the hands and feet during a two-day search that
ended Thursday. The park, a brushy, wooded expanse of rolling hills just below
the Hollywood sign, reopened Friday.
Although police have concluded no other body parts were dumped in the park,
visitors who find anything they believe are related to the victim's death should
contact authorities, Smith said.
More than 120 police officers, firefighters and Los Angeles County sheriff's
deputies searched 7 acres of the park after the head was discovered in a plastic
grocery bag. The hands and feet were found nearby.
Police have said they believe the victim was killed elsewhere and his remains
dumped just inside the park, which attracts hundreds of hikers and dog walkers
on most days.
Although rustic, it is located just a short distance from film studios and other
Hollywood attractions.
Police believe the body parts were left there no more than a day or two before
the head was found because they had barely decomposed and had not been attacked
by coyotes that roam through the park at night.
Authorities don't believe the Los Angeles case is connected to a case in Tucson,
Ariz., where police found a torso on Jan. 6. They say if the two were related,
the remains would have been more badly decomposed.
Medellin's head was found after the dog walker let one of the animals she was
shepherding through the park off its leash and it began playing with a plastic
bag. When it shook the bag, the head fell out.
Smith said whoever dumped the head had gone to some effort to conceal it.
"If it had not been for the dog walker, we might never have found it," he said.

Foul Play Unlikely in Student's Death
September 11, 2007
Filed at 1:20 a.m. ET
The New York Times
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PROVO, Utah (AP) -- An autopsy done on the body of a student
found dead in a canyon after an extensive search has turned up no evidence that
her death was a homicide, police said Monday.
Results of the autopsy conducted Monday on Camille Cleverley's body were not
immediately released, and the investigation was continuing, but Provo police
Capt. Cliff Argyle said, ''Nothing we have found so far has pointed us toward
foul play.''
The body of the 22-year-old Brigham Young University student was discovered by
searchers at the base of a 200-foot cliff on Sunday, 10 days after she was last
seen.
Utah County Sheriff James Tracy said it appeared she had made her way up a rocky
talus slope halfway up Bridal Veil Falls, then followed a series of angled
ledges to an outcrop, where she fell. Pine trees and heavy brush on the steep
slope made her body difficult to see.
After her body was found, a campus candlelight vigil Sunday night was turned
into a memorial service attended by more than 1,000 people. The city flew flags
at half-staff Monday.
Cleverley, of Boise, Idaho, was last seen riding her bicycle in Provo on Aug.
30. Police got a break in the case Sept. 6, when two people heard about the
search for Cleverley and admitted stealing a bike that resembled hers from a
rack near Bridal Veil Falls.
Before the discovery, the possibility that Cleverley might have been abducted
chilled some students in this college town 40 miles south of Salt Lake City.

Uniformed Eyes and Ears on the Front Lines
March 15, 2007
The New York Times
By JAMES BARRON
They form a kind of shadow police force, uniformed but unarmed
and unpaid. Part community-minded volunteers and part would-be officers, they go
on neighborhood patrols, help with crowd control at places like Yankee Stadium
and serve as an official-looking eyes and ears.
The city’s 4,800 or so auxiliary police officers are never far from trouble, but
usually, said John W. Hyland, the president of the Auxiliary Police Benevolent
Association, trouble goes the other way when they come around.
“For the most part, you’re on routine patrol,” he said. “For the most part, the
bad guys can’t tell the difference whether it’s an auxiliary cop or a regular
cop. It’s one of the best crime deterrents that there is.”
So is the seven-pointed star that auxiliary officers wear. Few, other than
sharp-eyed criminals, could tell that it is different from the shield that
regular officers wear. And few would know that officially, anyway, auxiliary
officers do not have the power that regular officers have: the power to make
arrests.
“It’s a citizen’s arrest,” Mr. Hyland said. “You’re the eyes and the ears. You
make the call.” Meaning, most of the time, an auxiliary officer reaches for his
or her radio and calls for regular officers.
Until last night, six auxiliary officers had been killed in the line of duty in
the half-century since the auxiliary police force was organized. Before the two
deaths in Greenwich Village, the most recent was Milton Clarke, killed 14 years
ago when he heard shots in the street outside his garage in the Bronx. Carrying
his own licensed .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol, he confronted a suspect who
opened fire and struck him six times. Mr. Clarke’s gun jammed after he pulled
the trigger once.
Facing street crime was not the original mission of the auxiliary force, which
was organized as a civil-defense group in the 1950s. Its mission reflected the
nuclear paranoia of cold-war America: to direct crowds to subway stations and
school basements that doubled as bomb shelters.
Auxiliary officers attend classes on topics like handling their nightsticks and
giving Miranda warnings, even though they rarely make arrests. The Police
Department requires that auxiliary officers be older than 17 and younger than
60, though those over 60 may apply for administrative duties. The department’s
Web site also says that auxiliary officers must be United States citizens or
have a valid visa or alien registration card, must live or work in the city,
must be able to read and write English and must have a clean record.
“A lot of the younger guys are using it as a steppingstone to go into law
enforcement,” Mr. Hyland said. “It gets them in the door. They see, do they
really want to do this?”
