A homeless man from Utah has discovered he is heir to a small fortune. Max Melitzer was tracked down by a private investigator over the weekend, and told that he had inherited a "significant" amount from his brother, who died of cancer last year. Melitzer has been homeless for the past few years, carrying his possessions in a shopping cart. But Private Eye David Lundberg said that he will now be able to live comfortably. "He'll no longer be living on the street or in abandoned storage sheds."
An escaped convict was caught following a day on the loose after he knocked on a cabin door only to find out the man renting the lodge was an off-duty guard at the prison he just escaped from. Authorities said 39-year-old James Edward Russell took off from the Washington State penitentiary Tuesday morning. Early the next day, Russell - still wearing his prison uniform - went to the cabin asking to use the phone. After a scuffle, Russell ran off, Lewis said. The guard reported the incident and Russell was caught a few hours later. He had been serving time for forgery and theft.
