The Juarez Valley on the Mexico-Texas border, a forty mile stretch of cotton fields and ghost towns, is so dangerous that even the police don't dare to enter.

Situated to the east of Juarez City a town which held the title of the world's most violent for three consecutive years the criminal cartels in 'Murder Valley' run drugs, weapons and illegal immigrants across the border, murdering in cold blood anyone who interferes with their business.

Today the Juarez Valley, which runs along the Rio Grande and is just a stone's throw from the eighteen-foot fence on the US border, sees more death and violence than anywhere else in North America. It has even been suggested that it could be the deadliest place on Earth

Death: Gravestones line the streets of Juarez City, where kidnap and murder are a daily reality

Ghost town: The town of Pradexis Guadalupe is virtually devoid of life, after years of brutal gang rule

Fear: Residents are too afraid to walk the streets, for fear they will be kidnapped and tortured

N4T Investigators: First photo of alleged repair scammers - January 21, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

8 hours 5 minutes ago by Matthew Schwartz

Tucson - Now, for the first time, we see their faces.

A half-dozen alleged victims who contacted the News 4 Tucson investigators identified from a photo the two men who've been going around Tucson ripping-off people in two separate repair scams. One has identified himself as both David Lee and David Stevens; the other man goes by the name of Anthony Stevens.

We first heard complaints about them and reported on their unlicensed mobile auto body business in November, from 84-year old Annette Komaniecki. She paid them $1000 to remove the dents on her 2009 Buick Lacrosse after they approached her outside her foothills home. Instead, they spread some type of blue paste all over her car. Annette says the guy who did the talking weighs over 300 pounds.

"I guess I felt sorry for him," Ms. Komaniecki told the News 4 Tucson Investigators. We asked her, "Why did you believe what he was saying?" She said, "Because I wanted to."

We showed Annette's car to an auto body shop owner, John Campbell of Desert Enterprises. He said, "I've been doing this over 35 years. I've seen a lot of rip-offs. I've never seen one quite to this level."

Since we reported Annette's story, two more alleged repair racket victims contacted us.

Josh Adams of Rita Ranch posted a Craigslist ad after he bought a used truck with some dents in it. The so-called repairmen put a hole in the truck and in Josh's wallet, for $360.00.

Adams said, "Frankly I just want this guy to stop ripping other people off. He's a scam artist, there's no doubt about it.

Thelma Gonzales says the man calling himself Anthony Stevens approached her outside the Fry's store at 1st and Rogers last summer, offering to do body work on her 2013 Chevy Equinox. $120 later, her SUV looks worse.

Man gets six months for burglary - January 21, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

QUEENSBURY -- A Fort Edward man who police said burglarized two homes last summer was sentenced to 6 months in Warren County Jail and 5 years on probation for his guilty plea in one of the cases.

Gary D. Wells Jr., 21, will also spend 5 years on probation as part of the sentence imposed by Warren County Judge John Hall.

Wells was arrested last July after police said he went into a Buckbee Road, Queensbury home and stole $350. That theft was captured by a surveillance camera in the home, which led to police identifying Wells as a suspect.

Days later, he was charged with a second burglary, after media coverage of the arrest led to a woman identifying him as the man she caught in her home days before he was arrested in the Buckbee Road theft.

Police said Wells worked as a paving contractor and knocked on doors soliciting driveway sealcoating work. When no one answered the door, he went inside.

His guilty plea to third-degree burglary, a felony, satisfied charges in both cases.
