Death Toll 97 due to Rain in Brazil

At least 97 people have died in the state Rio de Janeiro, with 71 deaths in the mountain town of Teosópolis alone. Several dozen people are missing from the area, so the death count could go much higher. Three fire fighters were also killed while searching a collapsed building in another town. (Note: Another report out of Nicaragua says 139 have died. All of Central & South America have been getting very heavy rains, closing roads due to landslides and washouts.)

Serial Killer Captured: Again

(Juarez, Chihuahua) Federal police have again captured a serial killer who was last arrested 6 months ago, accused of 10 killings for an organization named ‘The Assassin Artist’s; however, he was free and still committing crimes. The official statement said he may have been responsible for killing minutes before his arrest. When arrested he had firearms and drugs, and was driving a stolen vehicle. The official statement gives no explanation for why he was free and probably linked to the killing near the arrest scene.

Computers Going to 6 Thousand Teachers

(Hermosillo, Sonora) About 6000 computers valued at $500 each will be given to teachers in the first half of February. Teachers will be selected based on their performance. Money for the purchase came from federal and state governments and also the National Union of Education. (Note: often cartels will give things such as this, especially in smaller locales, to incur favor with the locals.)
