Wife of Worcester cop found dead in suspected murder-suicide after disappearance

Karen Solomon, a Massachusetts mental health advocate and wife of Worcester police officer Kurt Solomon, was found dead six days after she disappeared, in what authorities say appears to be a murder-suicide following her husband’s death at their home. Investigators had named her a suspect, released doorbell footage, and recovered a handgun near her body (not a Worcester service weapon) as part of the probe, while an arrest warrant for assault with a dangerous weapon had previously been issued. Kurt Solomon, a 31-year veteran of the Worcester Police Department, died from a sharp-object injury; a wake and funeral were planned as a broad, multi-agency search continued.

Check if your license plate was scanned by Flock cameras

Check if your license plate was scanned by Flock cameras

The Independent explains how HaveIBeenFlocked lets drivers see if their license plate has been looked up by Flock Safety’s network of over 120,000 cameras. While Flock says the system helps locate missing people, recover stolen vehicles and solve crimes, privacy concerns persist, with public records showing most searches relate to drugs or theft. Flock is cutting data retention from 30 days to seven and adding audit tools to flag abnormal searches; the ACLU calls this a partial win. The piece also notes a North Carolina officer was fired for misusing Flock to stalk an ex-partner.

Ex-Pensacola officer faces new HIV nondisclosure charges in ongoing case

A former Pensacola Police officer, Pierce Cotton, was arrested on two new charges of failing to disclose his HIV-positive status to a sexual partner, bringing the total to three charges. He was booked Friday by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and released on a $30,000 bond; Pensacola Police say he is no longer employed by the department. The first arrest occurred in March. Under Florida law, nondisclosure of HIV status during sex is a third-degree felony. The case includes details of a relationship that led to a pregnancy and messages Cotton allegedly sent about his condition.

Vegas Officer Adopts Abandoned Airport Pup Named JetBlue

A two-year-old goldendoodle named JetBlue was left tied to a metal structure at Las Vegas's Harry Reid International Airport after his owner couldn’t complete travel documents. He spent time in care at the airport before going to a rescue, which saw more than 2,700 people apply to adopt him. Las Vegas police officer Skeeter Black, who had been hoping to adopt a doodle, ultimately adopted JetBlue at a weekend event, with JetBlue airline donations helping cover adoption and vet costs.
