Man Had Sex With Picnic Table

Art Price Jr., 40, of Bellevue Ohio, a married man with three school-aged kids, was having an affair; a very public affair on his front porch. At the very least he could depend on his partner to keep the affair quiet. He was having sex with his picnic table! Thanks to an anonymous neighbor who videotaped some of the sessions, Art now faces 4 felony counts of indecent exposure.

According to Bellevue Police Captain Matt Johnson Price was seen on four occasions between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and noon having sex with his picnic table. What makes this a felony, Johnson says, is that it took place in close proximity to a school, Ridge Elementary, and a playground which made it likely that children could have seen him. The neighbor, who wishes to remain anonymous, saw Price walk out onto his deck, stand a round metal table on its side and use the hole in the umbrella to have sex. The most recent instance took place on March 14th. According to NBC Toledo, Ohio, affiliate WNWO-TV, the videos show Price tilting the metal round picnic table on its side and then laying up against it to have sexual intercourse with the table. Afterward, he can then be seen cleaning the table and the deck.

"The first video we had, he was completely nude. He would use the hole from the umbrella and have sex with the table," Johnson says.

Price, who admitted he was guilty, was released on his own recognizance. The Price family did not want to talk to reporters about the incident but the neighbors were not so reluctant:

"He shouldn't be allowed out, just for the fact that he could do that again -- and nude that close to a school. That should be zero tolerance," says Brice Jacobs, a neighbor.

Another neighbor wondered about the effects this would have on Price's children and hoped they would not be teased by other kids:

"Hopefully it stays between the adults and the kids don't get a lot of the information so they aren't so cruel to the little kids," says Emily Grote, a neighbor.

This case has the police, and everyone else, in this small town shaking their heads.

"Once you think you've seen it all, something else comes around," Johnson says.

P.S.

In all seriousness this must have been a highly embarrassing episode for Art Price. However, if I could ask him just two questions they would be: Isn't it painful to have sex with a metal table? and How big was that hole anyway?

Parents Prayed While Daughter Died

Madeline Kara Neumann,11, of Weston, Wisconsin died of diabetic ketoacidosis. Her parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, believed so strongly in the power of prayer, that they refused to seek medical attention for their daughter until it was too late to save her life.

In fact when their daughter fell unconscious the first 911 call did not come from the Neumann's house in Wisconsin. The call came from Ariel Gomez, the sister-in-law of Leilani Neumann, who lives in California. Ariel Gomez had to call 911 twice because she did not have the Neumann's complete address. She told the dispatcher:

"My sister in law is, her daughter's severely, severely sick and she believes her daughter is in a coma. And, she's very religious so she's refusing to take (Kara) to the hospital, so I was hoping maybe somebody could go over there."


"Please. I mean, she's refusing. She's gonna fight it so, she's gonna fight it. We've been trying to get her to take (Kara) to the hospital for a week, a few days now so."

After getting the correct address, the dispatcher sent the police and EMS to the Neumann house. While on the way, another 911 call was placed from the Neumann house. EMS arrived at the house to find Kara not breathing and transported her to Saint Claire's hospital where she was pronounced dead. Hear both 911 calls here.

It is unusual for children to die from diabetic ketoacidosis. It is a serious but treatable form of type 1 diabetes, caused by acid build up in the blood. Kara's parents claim the did not know that she had diabetes. Kara had not been to see a doctor since she was 3-years-old. The Neumanns believed in the power of prayer to cure illness.

Wisconsin Social Services has interviewed the family's three other children — ages 13, 14 and 17 — and had them examined by a medical doctor, Vergin said. They will most likely be returned to the home.Police Chief Dan Vergin of the Everest Metro Police said that during an interview with detectives the parents said "they believed even though they knew she was ill, they had enough faith and prayer that God would heal her."

"They said it was the course of action they would take again," Vergin said. "They firmly believe even if they had taken her to a doctor, if this was the time God had chosen for her to die, she would die regardless of medical interference."

Through an autopsy it was determined she had diabetic ketoacidosis.

"The doctor who did the autopsy and others have said she would have been showing signs for about six months, and she would have been symptomatic, very thirsty, lots of urination, dry skin for the last week," Vergin said. "They felt she would have been quite ill."

This young girl did not have to die but Vergin said the death of the girl brings up difficult issues.

"At what point do religious beliefs take over for medical help? And the flip of the coin is at what point are the parents responsible for the health and welfare of their children," he said. "These people truly believed their prayer and faith would heal their daughter. They have no question about that."

So far the parents have not been charged with committing any crime. However the police are now preparing a report for prosecutors. It will be up to the district attorney to decide whether or not to file charges.

Under Wisconsin statutes, parents can't be accused of abuse or neglect if the sole reason for the injury is that they relied on prayer, said Norman Fost, professor of bioethics and pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, adding that the First Amendment to the Constitution gives citizens the right to practice religion.

But Robyn S. Shapiro, an attorney who is professor of bioethics and director of the Bioethics Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin, said abuse or neglect can include "failure to appropriately respond or supply medical care to your kid."

"A Jehovah's Witness can refuse life-saving blood transfusion based on their religious belief," he said. "They're protected. But they can't refuse it for their child . . . the First Amendment extends to their own behavior but not their children's."

"The parents certainly didn't want their daughter to die, they didn't want her to be ill," Vergin said. "They just chose a course of action that allowed her to regress into coma and then death."

Two 93-Year-Olds Looking for Sex

Carlos Underhill and Frank Milio, both 93, of Manatee County, Fl. were picked up during recent undercover prostitution stings. However, Underhill will not be charged, as prosecutors decided that their case against him could not be proven.

Carlos Underhill admits to stopping to talk with the “good-looking girl” who made eyes at him. She was sitting at a bus stop "with her (breasts) hanging out” and he was planning to give her a ride. What Underhill did not know was that she was an undercover police officer. According to Underhill, when the conversation turned to sex he became confused. She mentioned $30 and this made him feel uncomfortable. In order to get out of what he called "an awkward situation" he promised to come back later to finalize the "deal". That was when he got arrested.

As if that was not bad enough, it was even more embarrassing, he said, to call his daughter from jail and ask her to pay his bond. “My daughter and I haven’t talked about it since,” he said. Prosecutors said that they were unable to move ahead with the criminal case because there was no way to prove that Underhill actually planned to come back.

Although Underhill paid a $150 fine back in 1990 when he was 75-years-old for trying to pick up a prostitute, he said this time all he was trying to do was chat with the buxom woman who smiled at him as he drove past.

“All I was going to do was talk,” he said. “It wasn’t for sex. I am 93, you know.”

Meanwhile things are not looking so good for Frank Milio also 93. Prosecutors have issued subpoenas and plan to take him to trial. According to police records, Milio tried to pay $20 to an undercover officer on 14th Street West. In his defense, Milio said that he was only flirting with the woman.

“I haven’t had that in years,” he said. “Ninety-three is kind of old.”

I may be wrong on this but this Frank Milio seems to be a member of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary who recently completed 30 years of service and was honored in a ceremony with a certificate for his achievements. He had retired from the US Army in July of 1974 and joined the Auxiliary in June of 1976. In 1994 the 80-year-old Frank Milio had completed 932 vessel safety checks. Below are pictures from his 30th anniversary with the US Coast Guard.

What makes me think that this is the same Frank Milio is the picture displayed in the article from the Herald Tribune which reported the story. Take a look and see if the picture in the newspaper does not closely resemble the Frank Milio who works for the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. My apologies if I am mistaken......but I don't think so.

Dorothy Dixon - Tortured and Murdered

Just when you think you have heard and seen it all, there comes along a story that redefines the depths of cruelty and depravity to which some people are willing to descend. This is a story about a pregnant, mentally retarded mother (Dorothy Dixon) who suffered horribly and was ultimately murdered by the very people who were entrusted with her care. I find it hard to believe that anyone, much less 6 people, could exhibit such wanton disregard for the life of another human being and engage in such reprehensible behavior as described below. Dorothy Dixon was ridiculed, tortured and murdered by monsters. After all that she had to suffer though: May she finally Rest In Peace.

When Dorothy Dixon, 29, died she was six months pregnant and the mother of a one-year-old baby boy. The police believe Dixon died as a result of a blow on the head delivered by 43-year-old Judy Woods. It was however the autopsy that revealed the extent of the torture that Dixon suffered:

X-rays revealed roughly 30 BBs lodged in her. Deep-tissue burns covered about one-third of her body — her face, her chest, her arms and feet — and left her severely dehydrated. Her face and body showed signs of prolonged abuse. Many of her wounds were infected.

A Madison County grand jury indicted Michelle Riley, 35, Judy Woods, 43, Michael Elliott, 18, Benny Lee Wilson, 16, and LeShelle McBride, 15, of first-degree murder, aggravated battery and one count apiece of intentional homicide of an unborn child, heinous battery and unlawful restraint. A 12-year-old boy is charged as a juvenile. The victim Dorothy Dixon, 29, and all the suspects except Elliott lived at at 2957 Hillcrest St. in Alton, Ill. Bail for each person was set at $1 million. Riley and Elliott are being held at the Madison County Jail; Wilson and McBride are charged as adults but are being held at a juvenile detention center. Judy Woods has been held without bail since Feb. 1 at the Madison County Jail. Dixon's one-year-old son who weighed only 15 pounds, was taken into protective custody. Neither the child's father nor the unborn child's father was identified.

In June or July of last year both Dixon and Riley rented the 3-bedroom house on Hillcrest St. The monthly rent was $800. Six people lived in the house. LeShelle McBride and the 12-year-old boy are Riley's children. Woods and Wilson also moved in. Dixon was made to sleep in an unfinished section of the basement, while the others occupied the rest of the house. Riley was an abusive and controlling person who manipulated and threatened everyone in the house. From the start, neighbors Chad Hudson and Terri Brandt considered Riley trouble saying she was evil, vindictive and manipulative. Riley considered Dixon her slave, making her rub Riley's feet until Riley fell asleep and forcing her to run naked around the house when she got in trouble, the neighbors said.

Rileyand Dixon had moved to Alton from Quincy, where according to Quincy police, they had lived together for some time. Riley worked for the West Central Illinois Center for Independent Living, which helps developmentally disabled people find housing and jobs. That's where she met Dixon, who was a client. Riley also had problems with the law. She was a drug abuser and had previously sold drugs to pay for her habit. Riley's criminal record includes narcotics offenses in Quincy in 2002 and 2004, and fighting in 2003. Riley had been taking Dixon’s monthly Social Security check which she had been receiving as a result of her developmental disabilities. Dixon saw little, if any, of the money.

“I thought I knew them real well,” the landlord, property owner Steve Atkins, said.

Atkins said Dixon was quiet and friendly. "She was always nice when she spoke to you." He saw no hints she'd been suffering or tortured.

Riley, on the other hand, wasn’t as easy going, Atkins said. He was on the property one day making some repairs, and Riley was barking orders, Atkins said.

“I asked her, 'Do I need to call the Army and tell them to come get their drill sergeant?' Atkins, 39, said. “I thought that was funny. But she didn’t laugh about it at all, obviously, I hit a nerve.”

The abuse Dixon suffered at the hands of Riley and the others took place between Dec. 1 and Jan. 30. Banished to the basement, the 29-year-old mother with a childlike mind and another baby on the way had little more than a thin rug and a mattress to call her own on the chilly concrete floor. She ate what she could forage from the refrigerator upstairs, where prosecutors say her housemates used her for target practice with BBs, burned her with a glue gun and doused her with scalding liquid that peeled away her skin. They torched what few clothes she had so she walked around naked. They often pummeled her with an aluminum bat or metal handle.

"This is heartbreaking," police Lt. David Hayes said. "It was almost as though they were making fun of the abuse they were administering. I've never seen an almost conspiratorial effort by a group of people to continuously torture someone until she finally died, then not really show any remorse," Hayes said. "It was just a slow, torturous, tragic way to die. I highly doubt Dorothy Dixon even knew she was dying. The autopsy sort of indicates her immune system just shut down," he said. "It was not capable of fending off any more."

In the rental home's basement, Atkins said, he found a bucket of feces in Dixon's former room, a waist-high door that was nailed shut, and blood on the walls, washer, dryer and in the basement shower.

"It's disgraceful the way this girl died, as kind and as sweet as this girl was," he said. "She didn't deserve to die the way she did. It's just terrible, senseless. It's just a total shame."
