JORDAN, Minn. — Police officers in one Minnesota town got a good laugh Thursday.Someone called for a welfare check on an adult man in one of the local neighborhoods standing motionless outside and near a home wearing no coat in the cold and hugging a pillow.Keep in mind temperatures are below freezing in Minnesota in February.When officers arrived on scene, they discovered that the adult male in need of possible assistance was actually a cardboard cutout of MyPillow CEO and inventor Mike Lindell.The caller wasn't about to go outside and get too close to investigate what they thought was a deranged person standing outside in the cold hugging a pillow, so it was better to call the police. 707

Jeffrey Epstein's death was an abrupt end to a life marked by wealth, power and years of sex crime allegations.But the multimillionaire's apparent suicide in a New York federal jail has spurred questions and myths about his death and the future of legal cases against him.Here's what we know about Epstein's final days, and what will happen now.Why was he recently in jail?Last month, federal prosecutors in New York unsealed an indictment that accused Epstein of paying girls as young as 14 to have sex with him at his Upper East Side home and at his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, between 2002 and 2005.Epstein faced similar accusations in Florida back in 2007, but signed a plea deal with prosecutors allowing him to avoid federal charges and plead guilty to lesser state prostitution charges.As he faced new charges, Epstein asked a judge last month to grant him bail and allow him to stay under house arrest in his Upper East Side mansion -- one of the biggest private homes in Manhattan.But the judge refused, and Epstein was held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center starting in July.Was Epstein on suicide watch when he died?No. Epstein was temporarily placed on a suicide watch after he was found in his jail cell July 23 with marks on his neck, a law enforcement source and a source familiar with the incident told CNN at the time.It wasn't clear whether those injuries, which were not serious, were self-inflicted or the result of an assault, the sources said. Epstein told authorities he had been beaten up and called a child predator, they said.After conducting daily psychological assessments, psychologists with the Bureau of Prisons took him off suicide watch at the end of July, according to a source familiar with the matter.Should he have stayed on suicide watch?Suicide watch usually lasts just one or two days, said Jack Donson, a former correctional treatment specialist for the Federal Bureau of Prisons."I've never seen in my entire career a suicide watch lasting more than a week," Donson said. "So the context of him committing suicide while on watch, that's just a fallacy."Donson said a suicide watch means an inmate is being monitored by a staff member 24 hours a day -- "three shifts of overtime people."He said resources are limited, and overtime can be costly."I was probably being paid 0, 0 for a shift of overtime just to watch somebody through a window," Donson said.If an inmate doesn't appear to be a threat to himself during suicide watch, he's removed from constant monitoring.But Democrats and Republicans alike wonder whether Epstein's suicide could have been prevented."It's ridiculous that he was taken off suicide watch," said former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is now an attorney for President Donald Trump.Democratic presidential candidates such as Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Elizabeth Warren say they want investigations. And Sen. Ben Cardin said he wants the results of the investigation to be made public."It's very hard to understand how he was not on a suicide watch," Cardin said.Are there conspiracy theories behind Epstein's death?Yes, but so far they're largely unfounded.This much we know: Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell around 6:30 a.m. Saturday, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said.Staff members tried to revive him, but Epstein was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.The bureau said Epstein's death was an "apparent suicide," and authorities believe Epstein hanged himself, a law enforcement source said.The New York City medical examiner's office hasn't released the official manner of death.But Trump shared a tweet and video from conservative comedian Terrence Williams that claimed -- without evidence -- that former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were responsible for Epstein's death.The tweet also incorrectly claimed that Epstein died while on suicide watch.What will happen to legal cases against Epstein?The federal criminal case against Epstein is over. But on the civil side, plaintiffs can still sue Epstein's estate, CNN legal analyst Paul Callan said.The exact amount of Epstein's wealth has not been publicized. Even prosecutors have said they haven't been able to determine the scope of his assets. But Epstein was, at a minimum, a multimillionaire.The financier owned properties in Manhattan, Palm Beach, New Mexico and Paris, as well as a private island in the Caribbean, according to court filings. He owned at least 15 vehicles and a private jet.One civil lawsuit is expected to be filed by a woman who alleges Epstein raped her when she was 15.The accuser in that pending lawsuit, Jennifer Araoz, said Saturday that she is "angry Jeffrey Epstein won't have to face his survivors of his abuse in court.""We have to live with the scars of his actions for the rest of our lives, while he will never face the consequences of the crimes he committed the pain and trauma he caused so many people," she said in a prepared statement.What could happen to some of Epstein's associates?Prosecutors could pursue related criminal cases involving Epstein's associates or employees.Though Epstein was the only person charged in the indictment unsealed in July, the court papers described three unnamed employees who scheduled his alleged victims to provide "massages" that escalated to sexual acts and paid victims hundreds of dollars in cash.For example, one person referred to in the indictment as "Employee-1" called girls who had previously been lured into encounters with Epstein to arrange future visits to his New York home.Robbie Kaplan, an attorney for one of the alleged victims in the criminal case, said "the many victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplices should not lose hope."We will continue to fight tirelessly on their behalf not only to seek justice, but also to ensure that all of the facts of his monstrous crimes become known to the world," she said."We need to expose the whole truth here so that crimes of this scale and scope never happen to any young girls (or boys) ever again." 6059

LAS VEGAS — In a town that has made its mark on betting and gambling, there's one thing on which folks wish they wager: elections."Since football started on Saturday and Sunday, we're jammed here, but you'd be surprised with all the people here is it legal to bet on the federal election," said Jimmy Vaccaro, a betting expert with South Point Hotel & Casino.Vacarro says the sportsbook received calls from across the U.S. and around the world after the last election, wondering if election betting was real.Some of those calls from other countries asked which candidate was the favorite and why.Vaccaro says U.S. elections are a big event for the European Book."It is their third or fourth biggest day of the year when they have odds on our people over here," Vaccaro said.If election betting were to become legal in America, Vaccaro is confident sports betting would be blown out of the water."Betting on an election would make the Super Bowl look like a high school football game," Vaccaro said.Election betting is a two-for-one as Vaccaro calls it. Bettors could walk away with a chunk of change, perhaps, the change they want for America.Vaccaro believes while it's not legal in America, in time, it will be a part of the "sports" book.He guesses at least a decade until it happens and becomes accepted."For the younger people to get into power, and they've grown up around this and grown up around the legalization of sports betting and sees nothing wrong with it, its just another past time," Vaccaro said. 1529

In the wake of Hurricane Dorian, a lot of animals in the Bahamas are left without owners to care for them and without homes to shelter in. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) sent a crew to the Bahamas, trying to find and save those animals that survived the Category 5 hurricane. Alex Johnson with IFAW spent days in the throes of Dorian’s aftermath.“It was apocalyptic, catastrophic, whatever you want to call it,” he describes. “It was, it was just, it was just devastating.”Johnson is part of a rescue team sent to Abaco to help stranded animals. “We have set up in Nassau a dispatch, a dispatch center, where people it's almost like a crisis hotline where we have someone getting calls from desperate pet owners looking for pets that were left behind,” he says. Johnson describes the visit as “eerie” as he walked through areas devastated by the storm.“You would just walk by these areas and just kind of get a whiff of like some foul stench,” Johnson describes.For the animals the group would find, they would classify them as being an urgent situation or not. Johnson describes a dog he encountered that needed urgent medical attention. However, soon after finding him, the dog passed away. “And that's just like the sad reality of how the situation is going,” he says.Johnson says he and his crew are trying to offer refuge. “People like me and my other teammates are there to kind of give these animals a fighting chance, because they're often forgotten and these type of situations,” Johnson says.The IFAW team says their top priority is getting animals out of the hardest-hit areas and reuniting the ones they can with their owners. IFAW says it will be on the ground as long as they’re needed. 1732
