Authorities aren’t sure exactly how many people Maury Travis, known as the “Street Walker Strangler,” murdered, but they believe many of them died in that basement, which he’s said to have used as a torture chamber, reports KMOV.com. He hanged himself in jail in 2002.
The woman said she even realized the house’s dining room table was the same one featured in crime scene photos shown during the A&E documentary, a piece of furniture her landlord offered up for her to use.
“When she showed us the house, she said you can have this table if you want,” the renter told KMOV.com.
And about that basement… well she wanted to get out of the lease, lickety split, but at first the landlord wasn’t budging.
“This whole basement was his torture chamber and it’s not okay,” she said.
While the landlord insists she told the renter about the situation, the tenant claims otherwise. Because you know, you’d sort of remember something like that.
It’s not required for homeowners to disclose such things to renters in the state of Missouri, explains a rep from the St. Louis Housing Authority — but it seems she’ll be living in a torture chamber-free home soon enough.
“Initially, the landlord was not willing to let her break her lease but we talked with her and eventually the landlord agreed to rescind the lease,” the rep told ABC News. “In this state, there is no duty to disclose. Other states there are, but mostly that is for selling houses.”

Along with a check for the money, the worker sent a letter to the former owners of a sports bar in Nebraska. The couple no longer owns the business, but were still stunned to find such an honest ex-thief.
The letter asked for forgiveness, explaining that she thinks that she worked at the bar in 1999 or 2000, reports ABC News.
“Not only was I flaky employee, I also stole from the drawer when I worked,” she wrote. “I want to make sure you know I was appreciative of the job and that I regretted stealing from you. Please accept this check for what I estimate to be how much I stole. I hope you are both well.”
When ABC News tracked down the worker, who asked to remain anonymous, she said she returned the money because it was wrong, and that she regrets it.
“I was young and I was dishonest. I only worked at the bar for a month or two on the weekends. I wasn’t a very good bartender,” she said. “If I can speak with them again, I would tell them how much I appreciated the job. I have my life back on the right track now, and I regret everything I did.”
The owners say they knew other workers stole from them, and that drinks were poured for free as well, but it’s shocking that someone would pay them back now.
“My husband couldn’t believe this,” the woman said. “It was just such a rare circumstance. Especially for her to do that after 15 years.”
She notes that while she and her husband don’t remember this particular worker, it was “courageous” for her to admit her mistake and to send money to make up for it.

The Supreme Court held that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which states that “Government shall not substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability,” extended to the owners of closely held corporations.
Thus, companies like Hobby Lobby, which is owned by a single family, could use the RFRA to exempt the company from having to provide employees health insurance that included coverage for birth control and other female contraceptive options.
According to Politico, Sens. Patty Murray (WA) and Mark Udall (CO) are set to introduce a bill that would prohibit companies from discriminating against female employees with regard to federally mandated health insurance. It would further clarify that no law, including the RFRA, allows an employer to refuse to comply with the health care law’s preventive services requirement.
Additionally, Reps. Louise Slaughter (NY), Diana DeGette (CO) and Jerry Nadler (NY) will introduce an identical bill in Congress.
Churches and religious non-profits would still enjoy the contraceptive exemption already afforded them by the health care law.
In addition to the issue of contraception, the legislation would also prohibit the possible use of religious beliefs to deny coverage for preventive services like vaccines.
Any bill on this subject faces faces an uphill battle, with response to the Hobby Lobby ruling divided on part lines.
If you live in California and you drive a Honda vehicle, listen up, because the car maker expanded its recall for potentially faulty airbag deployment issues by nearly 500,000 in your area.
The expanded recall, which affects only vehicles in California, brings the total number of Honda vehicles with the issue to nearly 3 million, reports USA Today.
In all, more than 10 million vehicles from at least eight manufacturers have been recalled since last year because of an issue with the passenger- and driver-side Takata-produced airbags.
According to a previous National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice [PDF] on the same issue, a defect in the frontal airbags could produce excessive internal pressure causing the inflator to rupture upon deployment. At times, pieces of the airbag module can forcefully fly out striking occupants.
That was exactly why the expanded recall was initiated. USA Today reports that a piece of shrapnel was released during the deployment of an airbag in a 2005 Honda Accord in California.
The expanded recall to replace passenger-side airbags includes model year 2003-2005 Honda Accords, Civics, CR-Vs, Elements, Pilots, Acura MDX, and 2005 Acura RLs, as well as model year 2003-2004 Odysseys.
Additionally, the recall was expanded to replace driver’s side front airbags in 2001 to 2007 Accords with four-cylinder engines, 2001-2002 Accords with V-6 engines, 2001 to 2005 Civics, 2002-to 2006 CR-Vs, 2003 to 2011 Elements, 2002 to 2004 Odysseys, 2003 to 2007 Pilots, 2006 Ridgelines, 2003 to 2006 Acura MDXs and 2002 to 2003 Acura TLs and CLs.
Prior to the addition of California, recalls were announced in areas with high humidity including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Since the airbag issue first came to light in 2013, BMW, Mazda, Toyota, Honda and Nissan have recalled more than 7.6 million vehicles.
The most recent issues with Takata airbags began nearly last month when Toyota reissued the 2013 recall of more than 766,300 vehicles because the company may have received an incomplete list of potentially defective airbags from the car part manufacturer.
Just a day later, NHTSA announced an investigation [PDF] into whether Takata airbags made after 2002 were prone to failing after receiving six reports of airbag ruptures in Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda and Chrysler vehicles. Regulators are also looking to determine if high-humidity climates contributed to the reported airbag explosions.
While Takata officials say [PDF] they are working with regulators on the investigation, they have yet to admit the airbags include a safety defect.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the price tag on the settlement is currently sitting around $7 billion, which is a compromise between the $10 billion the government wanted Citi to pay and the $4 billion figure the bank had been scribbling on its napkin and sliding across the table.
It’s a huge turnaround from only a few weeks ago, when it looked like a deal would not be reached and the dispute would end up being resolved in court.
Citi believes that its bad behavior was nowhere near that of fellow big bank Chase, who reached a massive $13 billion settlement with the DOJ in 2013 over similar allegations. But the DOJ argued that while Citi might have only sold about one-fifth the number of worthless mortgage-backed securities as Chase, the ones sold by Citi performed worse.
Like other settlements in recent years, some of the $7 billion in the Citi deal would be in the form of relief to borrowers, most likely through mortgage reductions and modifications.

9News in Denver reports that the Frontier jet was en route from D.C. to Denver when it had to be diverted to Cheyenne, WY, because of bad weather on Monday night.
Knowing he and his passengers would be stuck in Wyoming for a while before being allowed to continue on to their destination, the pilot ordered 50 pizzas from Domino’s which were delivered to the plane and paid for the entire mega meal himself.
“If the need arises you need to take care of your family; you need to take care of your passengers,” explained the captain. “They are my responsibility the moment they step on the aircraft until they get off the aircraft.”
