Their island getaways went bad in ways that sound similar: crippling stomach cramps, explosive diarrhea and malaise that lasted after they returned home.But in some ways, they consider themselves lucky. They survived their trips to the Dominican Republic.As reports of American tourists dying in the country continue to grab headlines, some travelers who fell violently ill tell CNN they wonder whether they may have escaped a worse fate.More than a dozen reached out to Kaylynn Knull and Tom Schwander, a Colorado couple who were the focus of a CNN story this month, to share their accounts of being sickened. CNN interviewed most of them. Their experiences ranged from what they felt was most likely food poisoning or a virus to what seemed to be dire reactions to chemical contaminants.Like the Colorado couple, several travelers said they smelled a strange, intense chemical odor in their hotel rooms before getting sick. Knull and Schwander said they were nauseous, drooling uncontrollably, sweating, teary-eyed and experiencing stomach cramps. Their sickness continued for days after they returned home. Their US doctors suspected possible poisoning by a compound found in insecticide, and the couple are now suing the owners of the resort.Of course, travelers get sick all the time, and it's still not clear whether the deaths or sicknesses are connected. The FBI is assisting with toxicology testing in at least three of the recent American deaths. The bureau is analyzing samples from at least one deceased couple's minibar, according to a Dominican Republic Ministry of Health spokesman.Dominican officials have called the deaths isolated and have stressed that the country is safe.'You're not going to die,' he told herTina Hammell, from northeastern Ontario, said she was in tears as she read about Knull and her boyfriend.Hammell, 49, and her husband, John, said they went to a resort in the Grand Bahia chain, Grand Bahia Principe Punta Cana, in 2016. They were looking forward to the trip -- a celebration of a successful sales season at a Yamaha dealership they run. On the second day of their trip, they retired to their room for a nap. Tina said she woke under the air conditioning unit in their room. "My throat and nose were on fire," she recalled. "It smelled like paint.""She jumped up and ran outside, coughing and hacking," John said. He was also overwhelmed. "It stung bad."They called the front desk and a worker showed up to their room, they said, and sprayed what seemed to be a disinfectant. The Hammells demanded another room and there got a decent night's sleep. The next morning, Tina was in bad shape. She was nauseated and covered in sweat, had lost her voice and was increasingly struggling to breathe. The couple tried to take a walk, but she couldn't muster the strength. Chest pains set in.John and Tina went to the medical office on the property. It was closed, they said. They tried to eat and get some sleep. The following day, Tina was worse. John called for help from their room, demanding that management find a way to take them to another section of the sprawling resort where there was another medical facility.John broke down as he remembered watching helplessly as his wife's body began convulsing. She buckled into a fetal position and her hands twisted with muscle spasms."She kept passing out while I was trying to hold her," he said. "I said, 'You're not going to die. You're not going to die.'"At the medical center, a doctor managed to revive Tina, John Hammell said, at one point using a defibrillator.She was transferred to a hospital where she stayed for at least four days and doctors found lesions on her lungs, medical records show. They checked out only because they couldn't miss their flight home, John Hammell said.Back in Ontario, the couple said, Tina saw doctors who told her that the Dominican Republic physician might have saved her life. But they couldn't figure out what caused her symptoms."'You've been poisoned,'" John Hammell recalled physicians saying to his wife, "'but we don't know from what.'"Three years later, the couple says, doctors are treating her for lung and heart problems she said she did not have before her trip to the Dominican Republic, though doctors haven't been able to say for sure what the cause is."I had no idea there were other people," she told CNN, weeping.Hammell has read news in the past month about some of the US tourists who have died or fallen ill. Those include some who stayed at the same resort, such as 51-year-old Yvette Monique Sport of Pennsylvania, whose sister, Felecia Nieves, told CNN that Sport died at the Punta Cana facility in June 2018.Nieves said her sister had drinks, including a beverage from the minibar, then took a shower and went to bed. Her fiancé found her dead the next day.A year after Sport's death, her sister said the family still has not been given results of a toxicology test.Alba Mingo, the head of trade marketing at Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts, declined to comment on specific cases, citing the company's cooperation with authorities in the ongoing inquiry into the incidents.Mingo said the chain's health and safety policies include "sanitation and disinfectant efforts, strict quality standards for the food and beverage items we serve to our guests and an action plan to respond to any reported cases of illness. ... We regularly audit all hotels in respect to health and safety and consistently receive high certification scores for hygiene."'I will never go back there'Elsewhere in Punta Cana, Jake Spruill of Virginia told CNN that he and his family had a terrible vacation at the Majestic Elegance resort in 2017. He, too, described an overwhelming chemical smell in his room.He and his wife plus two family members and their spouses went to the Dominican Republic to celebrate Spruill's 40th birthday.When he and his wife opened their room, they were hit by "an incredibly, overpowering smell that I would consider a chemical smell."His throat and nose felt mildly irritated, he said. They complained to management. "The response was 'We cannot move you. I'm sorry, we can't move you,'" Spruill said.The couple left to spend time in the resort. When they returned, it smelled like someone had sprayed air freshener to cover the chemical smell. It didn't work."We decided to avoid the room at all costs," and try to let the air conditioner run, Spruill said. He and his family members "felt a little off." They were drinking, sure, trying to have a good time. But something didn't feel right, he said. His wife started to have gastrointestinal distress. His eyes burned and watered.Spruill's brother-in-law, Richard Brumfield, said when he went to his room he noticed a smell."It was almost like adhesive," he said. "It was extremely noxious."Brumfield said that when he complained about the chemical smell, the hotel staff put scented candles in his room, which did nothing to help.Within three days, Brumfield said, he started to feel "deathly ill." He lost his appetite, had horrible stomach cramps and felt exhausted, symptoms that lasted nearly three weeks.He and Spruill said that they drank a shot of Patron at the resort that did not taste like Patron, and both suspect the alcohol was adulterated.Neither went to the doctor or ever received a diagnosis. When they got home, they didn't communicate with the resort."I will never go back there," Spruill said.In a written response, Ricardo Espinosa, vice president of sales and marketing for Majestic Elegance, told CNN that "all the bottles used in our hotels, both in our bars and our minibars, are genuine and unadulterated."Espinosa did not address the smell the men described, but he stressed Majestic Resorts' emphasize hospitality and noted that the hotel has "a very good reputation and image."Deaths under investigationThose who came back from vacation to weeks of sickness have had new context for their experience since news of American deaths started to emerge a few weeks ago.As of last week, Joseph Allen of New Jersey, 55, became at least the ninth U.S. tourist in a little more than a year to die at a Dominican Republic resort, his family said. The cause of his death is unclear.Leyla Cox, 53, died June 10 in her room at Excellence Resorts in Punta Cana, according to the hotel. A statement from the resort, citing a forensics report, said she suffered a heart attack, but CNN has not independently verified that.Other deaths include Nathaniel Holmes, 63, and Cynthia Day, 49, who were found dead May 30 at Bahia Principe La Romana. Dominican authorities said both suffered internal bleeding, including in their pancreases, and that Holmes had an enlarged heart and cirrhosis of the liver. Day, authorities said, had fluid in her brain. Toxicology reports are pending, and an investigation is underway into the deaths.Days earlier, Miranda Schaup-Werner died at the same resort. She had a drink from the minibar, felt ill and sometime later collapsed and died. A preliminary autopsy cited by the Dominican Republic's Attorney General's Office said she suffered a heart attack, pulmonary edema and respiratory failure. Her death is also under investigation.Overall, a U.S. State Department official said, "We have not seen an uptick in the number of U.S. citizen deaths reported to the Department" in the Dominican Republic. The State Department said it is closely monitoring investigations, and that the FBI has said toxicology testing could take up to 30 days.The department has a standing travel advisory for the Dominican Republic due to crime, but it has not issued an alert related to the resort deaths. 9659

The word home can mean a lot of different things, but it also usually means a safe space where you can go and rest your head. “May 20, 2010 was my move in date,” said Lisa Saenz who lives in the Denver neighborhood of Sun Valley. It's affordable housing run by the Denver housing authority. It's been Saenz’s home for a long time. When Saenz first moved here, she says it wasn’t such a great place to live. “It was a lot of nonsense by the neighbors and kind of a lot of crime. I was kind of scared to come outside and leave. I used to keep the kids inside,” said Saenz. But she says things have really changed since, and Sun Valley feels more like a community. “My neighbors are my family, I didn’t have one, I still don’t have one. I’m like the last survivor besides my two kids,” said Saenz. Ismael Guerrero who runs the Denver Housing Authority says for a long time, it was tough to get people to talk about the need for public housing. “Public housing, affordable housing overall, for many years has not been the highest priority politically as a policy,” said Guerrero.And if you ask Saenz, that stigma is real. “I remember once my son’s friend from middle school knew that we lived here. He was invited his friend to spend the night, but once his mom knew he lived here, he wasn’t allowed to come over and it kind of made my son feel bad," Saenz said. But Guerrero is trying to change the narrative around public housing, and he’s trying to make Sun Valley, look more like this. The Mariposa community is just 10 minutes away, but looks totally different. Guerrero says it’s an example of public housing in the 21st century. It’s what people who work in public housing call a mixed income community. A blend of market rate apartments and homes mixed in with low income units. “What I get really excited about is not just the housing we provide, but I think the quality of life we can bring out residents, especially in our newer communities,” said Guerrero. And the transformation has already started in Sun Valley. Construction has started on new mixed income units in the neighborhood. DHA’s plan says all of the low income units will be replaced and the area will add market rate units as well. “Going from maybe 350 total units of housing in that neighborhood today probably to over 500 units over the next five years,” said Guerrero. Lisa says she's not worried about being pushed out of the new neighborhood. “I don’t think it’s a bad thing, and no they’re not making us leave. We leave if we don’t want to live here... I think all anywhere you go there’s going to be change, not just Sun Valley," said Saenz. She's right. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, America needs at least 7 million more affordable homes than what's currently available. And cities all over are looking for solutions. “There’s more political will I think locally and at the state levels now because mayors and council members and commissioners are having to deal with residents across a wider income spectrum who are saying hey, I can’t work and live in my own neighborhood, in my own community and we need to do something about that,” said Guerrero There are a lot of creative solutions out there from the tiny home fad to providing a tax credit to renters or even having tech giants do their fair share and donate hundreds of millions of dollars to affordable housing programs like Amazon and Microsoft have pledged to do. But one solution is in every report and study. Build more homes. More affordable homes. Because when people have a safe affordable place to live, their house becomes a home, and their neighborhood becomes a community. “That really has an impact in terms of youth doing better in school, our families across the board having healthier food options, healthier transportation options, and our seniors being able to age in place in a healthy way that lets them live independently for much longer,” said Guerrero. 3963

The US Department of Veterans Affairs is investigating 11 suspicious deaths at a medical center in West Virginia, according to a statement from Sen. Joe Manchin's office.The VA said it is looking into "potential wrongdoing" at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg. It would not provide details.Manchin, a member of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, said a "person of interest" is no longer in contact with patients at the facility. He said at least one of the deaths is a confirmed homicide.Wesley R. Walls, a spokesman for the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center, said "allegations of potential misconduct you may have heard about in media reports do not involve" any current employees."Immediately upon discovering these serious allegations, Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center leadership brought them to the attention of the VA's inspector general while putting safeguards in place to ensure the safety of each and every one of our patients," Walls said.In his statement, Manchin said he met with VA and hospital leaders to ensure a thorough investigation."These crimes shock the conscience and I'm still appalled they were not only committed but that our Veterans, who have sacrificed so much for our country, were the victims," the senator said.Veteran was injected with 'fatal dose of insulin,' family saysIn a claim filed last week, the family of Felix Kirk McDermott, a patient who died at the hospital, alleged he was "injected with a fatal dose of insulin, either negligently or willfully, by an unidentified person" while he was a patient at the center.The 82-year-old Army veteran did not suffer from diabetes and had never been diagnosed with the disease either, the claim states. McDermott died in April 2018."I thought my dad was safe there," his daughter, Melanie Proctor, told 1829

Thousands of islands dot the Pacific Ocean between Asia's southern coast and Australia, and the people who live on them have stayed mostly isolated from the digital age.The assumption by many internet providers is that "there's not many people there, they don't need connectivity, and there's not a lot of money," Christian Patouraux, the founder and CEO of satellite startup Kacific, told CNN Business.Patouraux said he knows that to be false.Six years ago, he founded Singapore-based Kacific after he saw a market analysis that showed the Asia-Pacific region is starved for internet access, and people are willing to pay for it.Now, they are several steps closer to getting that access. On Monday evening, a SpaceX rocket launched Kacific's first satellite from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Patouraux said it could soon bring consistent internet connections to as many as 1 million people for the first time.Internet for islandersThe biggest obstacle to extending broadband across the Asia-Pacific is one of topography: Broadband is delivered primarily by copper or fiber optic cables, including some that stretch under the Atlantic Ocean.

This week, an arrest was made in a 20-year double murder case gone cold. The victims were two 17-year-old Alabama girls. The big break for police: results from a DNA ancestry test. Police arrested 45-year-old Coley McCraney through genetic genealogy, which used his DNA to find relatives. Investigators say they were inspired by the arrest of the Golden State Killer back in April, when police used genetic genealogy to link 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo, to at least 13 murders and more than 50 rapes in California during the 70's and 80's. Police used that same technology to arrest men responsible for other unsolved cases that dated back to the 1970’s. "Well over the years, you think about it all the time. I don't think that ever leaves anybody that was working then. It never left your thoughts,” says retired Newport Beach Police Officer Stan Bressler of unsolved cases. So, how are police able to use genetic genealogy results to solve these cases? “We get DNA from a crime scene,” says Ellen Greytak of the first step. Greytak works with Parabon NanoLabs, which helped police arrest suspects in 1,000 years of cold cases. She says her company uploads the DNA to the genealogy database GEDmatch, which is separate from companies like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.“So, they have over a million people in that database and what's returned is basically a list,” Greytak explains. “Here are the people…who share the most DNA with your unknown person.” Then, genetic genealogists step in, building family trees and then narrowing down suspects based on information. “So we know where the crime happened; we know when it happened,” Greytak says. “That limits the age range. You know the person might have lived nearby, but not always.” The information is then handed off to police, who often conduct a traditional DNA match, before making an arrest. Still, some groups are concerned about privacy. However, Greytak says anyone can choose to opt out.“They choose to either set their data to private in GEDmatch, so they're not part of searches, or to take their data down. You know they have full control over that,” Greytak explains. 2151
