A group of con artists preyed on homeless men for over a year, luring them in with promises of easy money in exchange for participating in staged car accidents to commit insurance fraud. The men's arms and legs were intentionally broken using makeshift weapons. While the ringleaders stole hundreds of thousands from insurance payouts, the homeless victims received little and suffered serious, lasting injuries. One homeless man interviewed had his arm smashed with an ax by two men who promised him $3,500 but only gave him small amounts of money and drugs, stringing him along for months about the insurance payout.

Deputy Anderson claims he met me while I was riding my bike, but at the time he started texting me, my bike had been stolen 2 months prior. I never once gave any person my cell phone number while riding my bike. How did Deputy Anderson know that I would frequently ride my bike? How did he know I was single, or anything about me at all? He reveals in the following texts, that he got my number from the 911 call center I phoned, and that he was the responder who took my frantic call when my ex- husband Mike Phillips Jr., ran over my front gate, broke down my front door with a baseball bat, then trashed my property once inside, and then threatened my life.

Introduction:
A Good Samaritan is someone who voluntarily chooses to offer aid to someone who is injured or having an emergency. Some states actually have Good Samaritan laws to protect those who volunteer to render aid and consider it an act of negligence to not at least make a call for help. Good Samaritan laws vary by state but many offer immunity. Under the Good Samaritan laws which grant immunity, if the Good Samaritan makes an error while rendering emergency medical care, he or she cannot be held legally liable for damages in court. However, two conditions usually must be met; 1) the aid must be given at the scene of the emergency, and. 2) if the "volunteer" has other motives, such as the hope of being paid a fee or reward, then the law will not apply (US Legal, 2012).

Murder or Suicide Scenario Details
You are investigating the death of Reginald Ayers. Mr. Ayers was a 64 year old man who appeared to
be in excellent physical condition; in fact, he appeared to be almost 20 years younger than his stated
age. He was the sole owner of a software development company with yearly earnings over two million
dollars. He is also the company’s sole software developer.
Mr. Ayers has a $500,000 life insurance policy out on himself. He was found dead in the study of his
large expensive home. His body was discovered Monday morning by his 32 year old son Phil.
Mr. Ayers was shot once in the right temple with a handgun. The handgun was found clutched in his
right hand. The fatal wound is in his right temple, with an exit wound through the left temple. He was
sitting at his desk. The deceased is survived by his second wife (Anna, age 26) and his 32 year old
son Phil from his first marriage (both Phil and Anna shared the same residence with Mr. Ayers; neither
Phil nor Anna work; both were supported by Mr. Ayers). Phil and Anna will split the proceeds of the life
insurance policy. Both Phil and Anna were out of town Sunday night (the time that Mr. Ayers died) in
different nearby cities; Phil was attending a seminar on self-confidence and Anna was staying over
night with a female friend from college. Neither has an iron clad alibi, since it is possible they could
have left and returned unnoticed.
Your investigation uncovers the following additional facts:
The deceased was a fitness fanatic, working out constantly.
The gun and ammo was purchased by Mr. Ayers two weeks before his death.
The toxicology report revealed the presence of pain medication.
The autopsy reports the discovery that the deceased had cancer of the testicles, level 3. The cancer
had spread to his liver, lungs and brain. Treatment would consist of surgery to remove the cancerous
testicles and radiation/chemo-therapy to try to control the cancer in other parts of his body. Testicular
cancer is rare in a person Mr. Ayers’ age and treatment involves multiple negative side-effects; his
prognosis was not good, despite his physical condition.
Mr. Ayers had a 22 year old college co-ed as a mistress--he paid all of her bills, including rent and
school expenses. She stated that their affair was primarily physical and that the deceased had a
"strong sexual appetite." She stated that about six weeks ago he began to complain about pain in his
groin during/after sex and two weeks ago he stopped seeing her without explanation. She is not
named in his will, has nothing to gain from his death, and has a strong alibi for the time of his death.
The deceased's doctor is willing to reveal that he gave Mr. Ayers the diagnosis of cancer two weeks
ago. There is no evidence that suggests that Anna or Phil knew about Mr. Ayer’s cancer.

6 crimes Uber drivers have been accused ofRick Jacobsen
So you think you're safe when you jump into an Uber? Well... Think again. You'll be shocked to discover what Uber drivers around the world are being accused of every day.

1. The 45-year-old homeless man found himself in a dingy, unfamiliar garage, with his left arm laid out across
a jagged slab of concrete.
Minutes before, he had been standing on a corner outside a West Side shelter when two men drove up and
asked if he wanted to make some easy money by posing as the victim in a car wreck staged for a phony
insurance claim.
The deal was the injury would have to be real to ensure a big settlement. One of the men who had picked
him up held out a jacket and told him to put it over his head.
The homeless man shook his head. "I said, `I can take it.'
"No, you need it," he was told.
So the man covered his head. An instant later the flat end of a homemade ax came down on his left
forearm, about three inches above his wrist, snapping the ulna and the radius.
"The next thing I know I was in shock for a minute," said the man, who told police he was promised $3,500
of any insurance settlement.
The man, who asked that his name not be published, was just one of many homeless men--drifting from
shelter to shelter, addicted to alcohol and drugs and desperate for any kind of opportunity--whom police say
were preyed upon for more than a year by a band of con artists working with truck drivers.
Police arrested Michael Garner, 39, Kendrick Moore, 53, and four others last week and charged them with a
range of crimes in connection with the battering of six homeless people to commit insurance fraud. Since
the arrests, two other victims, including the 45-year-old man, have come forward and police suspect the
brutal scam was carried out several more times.
Police caught on to the scam in April, robbery Detective Michael Cummins said, when one of the homeless
men had his arm crushed so severely that he could not go through with the staged accident. He had to be
hospitalized and afterward went to police because he feared retribution for not going through with the scam.
While the ringleaders allegedly stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from insurance companies, the
homeless men never received more than a few thousand dollars. In many cases they received just a few
dollars and small amounts of drugs or a case of beer, police said.
Garner, whom police called the ringleader, was charged with six counts of aggravated battery for wielding
the ax.
"I wince every time I hear it," said Cummins, who worked the case with his partner, Ken Bigg. Technically,
the injured homeless people are not victims because they participated in crimes. But authorities decided to
treat them as witnesses because they were so vulnerable and, in the end, were swindled out of promised
payoffs.
"These guys have nothing to live for but the hope that their payday's coming," Cummins said.
The man interviewed by the Tribune came forward to police after learning of the arrests of Garner and
Moore. Garner posted $30,000 bail, but Moore remains in jail.
Taking `an arm shot'
It was Valentine's Day when two of the suspects pulled up to the curb outside Franciscan House, a
homeless shelter in the 2700 block of West Harrison Street. The men identified themselves as "Kenny and
Mike" and called the 45-year-old man over to their car.
2. "Kenny asked me if I wanted to make some money," the man said. "I said I did. And then he said, `I need
somebody to take an arm shot and somebody to take a leg shot."
The man said he asked what exactly they meant by a "shot," and was told that would be explained after a
second person was recruited to be injured.
Police said the scheme always involved staged wrecks with two victims, to increase the settlements, some
of which exceeded $100,000. The key, Cummins said, was that commercial truck drivers were in on the
scam because their employers were sure to have insurance.
The man said he would "take the arm shot," and once a second homeless man, named James, agreed to
go along, the suspects said they planned to hit them in the arm and leg to cause realistic injuries.
After his arm was broken, the homeless man said he was handed some newspapers to wrap up his bloody,
crushed limb. He was helped back into the car, and then James was taken into the garage, the man said.
"I was sitting in the car and I heard a bump, and then a moan. Then another bump, and a yell," he said.
Police have not been able to locate James, Cummins said.
At Franciscan House, officials remember seeing men with casts on their arms or legs several months ago.
Director of operations Barry Steele said he has not encountered anyone who acknowledges being used in
the scam, but he's looking for them.
"I want to make sure that any of those people who were involved get medical care," Steele said. "They can
have lifelong injuries from that if they don't get the right care."
The accident
After their bones were smashed, it was night when the two men were driven to a street corner that had been
chosen as the accident site. The 45-year-old homeless man didn't remember the location.
"I could walk so I got out of the car and lay down. Then Kenny and Mike helped [the other man] out," he
said. "Then they called the truck and the truck came and drove up on the sidewalk."
People started to gather around the staged accident scene, he said, and 911 was called. Usually, the
drivers would say they had swerved to avoid hitting another car and then hit the victims, police said.
While James was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, the man with the broken arm was taken to Stroger Hospital,
where he stayed for eight days and underwent surgery to put pins in his shattered arm.
After he was released, the man said "Kenny and Mike" began to string him along when he asked about the
money. They had him meet with a representative of the company that owned the truck, and then with an
insurance agent. They would occasionally give him a little money--$12 or $13. When he asked for more,
they would become combative and threatening, he said. But they always promised the insurance settlement
was on its way, and he'd get his $3,500.
Then came the news June 6 that Garner and Moore and several others had been arrested and charged in
six incidents just like his.
Two days later, the man went to the police.
The truck driver, Khaled M. Saleh, 31, of Justice, was charged late Friday with insurance fraud in the case.
Sitting in a break room at the community mental health center where he spends his days, the man leaned
his elbows on the sticky dark veneer of the table as he recounted his ordeal. As much as he had suffered,
3. his greatest sadness is about opportunities the money represented to him. He had hoped to find a place of
his own to live and perhaps reunite with an old girlfriend who lives on the South Side.
"Now, I feel like--I'm kind of hurt now," he said. "I had a lot of plans. I had a plan for what I was going to do
when I got that money."
The 45-year-old homeless man said he was outside Franciscan House one day while his arm was still in a
cast when another homeless man asked how his arm had been broken.
"I got hit by a truck," he told him.
The other man smiled, said he once had a broken arm, and said: "What did the truck say on the side?
Kenny and Mike's?"
