Paulo Berejuk's deep voice cracks over the phone from southern Brazil. He now lives in Santa Catarina, which boasts hundreds of miles of white-sand beaches crowned with lushly jungled hillsides. But to Berejuk, it feels like a prison, worse than the federal pen in North Carolina where he finished an...

Regrettably, it’s still 2016, and on top of all the awful news this awful year has gifted us, music festivals are dying — at least according to some. Cynics point to the repetitive lineups and increasingly corporate vibe at major affairs like Bonnaroo and Ultra as evidence of their lost...
The blond corpse floats in a blood-filled bathtub. The face bobs just barely above the surface. She wears nothing but a thong. Her hands are tied with a ribbed fabric sash. The feet are bound with a beige electrical cord. Stab wounds dot her body. The sprawling Mediterranean-style home is a...
The grainy security video shows Steven Rodgers, a 43-year-old Miami-Dade County Public Schools Police officer, inside his Miami Edison Senior High School office. His silver badge glints against the dark blue of his uniform as he grins into the camera. And his penis is in his hand as he pleasures...
