In a chilling case that has gripped communities on both sides of the Atlantic, Irish police are moving to extradite the chief suspect behind the horrifying murder of Jamey Carney. This 43-year-old, who was a proud New York native turned Irish resident, met her untimely demise last month when she was brutally beaten and smothered in her own Killarney home.

The grim discovery was made by Carney’s teenage daughter on July 7. The tragic incident has reverberated through social media, where Carney had been sharing her experiences of living in Ireland as a “New Yorker in Ireland”.

Authorities believe Carney’s partner, a Jordanian national who had been seeking asylum in Ireland, is responsible for the gruesome act. Allegedly, he fled to Istanbul on a rushed flight and later traveled to Jordan, where he was taken into custody.

In pursuit of justice, law enforcement has compiled a detailed dossier to present to Ireland’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), urging them to press murder charges, according to a report from The Irish Mirror. As the DPP meticulously reviews the case, the question of whether formal charges will be made stands at a pivotal crossroads.

If the DPP approves prosecution, Irish officials will face diplomatic hurdles to bring the suspect back, as Ireland lacks a formal extradition treaty with Jordan.

An Garda Síochána, Ireland’s national police force, declined to comment on the matter when reached by News Media.

“The Garda investigation into the murder of Jamey Carney is ongoing,” an agency spokesperson said. “A file has been submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.”

Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan said every diplomatic and judicial channel would be explored to ensure justice is served, The Irish Independent reported.

“The gardaí are obviously pursuing a very clear line of inquiry. The person they want to speak to left the country before the body of the late Ms. Carney was discovered,” he said.

The suspect initially arrived in the United Kingdom before crossing through Northern Ireland to settle in County Kerry.

While living in a state-run accommodation for asylum seekers, he worked in hospitality and construction and began spending increased time at Carney’s home after they became romantically involved.

Carney’s social media posts featured her partner, whom she referred to as part of a “mixed couple,” and noted that she had recently begun learning Arabic.

The Irish Independent reported that the suspect had expressed a desire to relocate to the United States and told acquaintances Carney was assisting him with securing U.S. residency.

News Media has reached out to the Director of Public Prosecutions for comment.

Growing up with a father serving in law enforcement, David Wright gained early insight into the responsibilities and significance of donning a uniform.

When the Mets open their stadium to the New York Police and Fire Departments for the annual Battle of the Badges charity baseball game, championed by Ford, the former Mets star third baseman clears his agenda to be there.

“Honestly, I find it unfortunate that our expressions of gratitude toward these men and women are often limited to just this annual event,” Wright expressed to The Post on Wednesday, as the fierce yet friendly rivalry between the NYPD and FDNY was reignited at Citi Field.

“I’ve made it a point to teach my three kids that whenever they encounter a first responder—a firefighter, a police officer—they should take a moment to say thank you. It requires minimal time and effort, but I hope it makes these heroes feel acknowledged and valued for their service. It’s a role that many of us wouldn’t excel at,” he remarked thoughtfully.

Wright presented awards to players from both teams pregame and stuck around to take in the game. So too did a number of fans who had watched the Mets beat the Padres in the first of a single admission doubleheader.

“We are honored to serve as the presenting sponsor of the Battle of the Badges at Citi Field,” said John Billard, Chairperson of Your Local Ford Stores. “For the past five years, this event has brought the NYPD, FDNY and the communities they serve together in a celebration of teamwork, camaraderie and appreciation. Tonight’s game was a wonderful tribute to the courageous men and women who protect New York every day. We thank the players, organizers and fans who helped make this evening such a success, and Your Local Ford Stores are proud to continue supporting this meaningful tradition.”

This was the fifth annual baseball game between fire and police departments, with
NYPD winning 1-0 this year.

The event, however, is about much more than the result on the field.

“I’m the Bronx Borough commander, I was born and raised in the Bronx. I’m a Yankees fan, I got a Yankees tattoo on my back but listen, I love being here,” said Chris Ritchie of the FDNY, who threw out the first pitch. “This is a beautiful stadium. It’s amazing being on an MLB field and actually to be standing out there and throwing out a pitch is going to be amazing.”

“Most pro guys dream about this their whole lives,” the NYPD’s Mike Abagnale said. “And the fact that we’re just a bunch of police officers, firefighters and get to go live out our dream, play baseball at Citi Field, incredible.”

This was no softball game either. Both sides featured former pro and college players who now serve in their ranks, and outfielders played at normal depth despite the Major League dimensions.

Wright hung out in both dugouts during the game.

“I wish I got to hang out in the dugout while I was playing, because I’d learn a lot of great trash talk and some bad words,” Wright said. “But the intensity and competitiveness on the baseball field is really incredible. The way they work together as a team off the field, and then when they get on the field, they want to beat each other’s brains in is pretty special and something that I respect and appreciate.”

The Mets donated $5 from all single game and group sale tickets to benefit local FDNY and NYPD charities.

While the police and fire department compete regularly — there’s golf, football and a hockey game at UBS Arena, among others — the baseball game holds a special place.

“In both our lines of work, I was a former police officer, we deal with a lot of difficult situations. A lot of negative situations we’re put in, it’s nice to have some positivity and get out and celebrate a beautiful day with NYPD,” First Deputy FDNY commissioner Dan Flynn said. “It’s great for morale for both sides.”

Authorities have identified a Philadelphia man suspected of donning a Chucky mask to chase a woman through the streets. The man is now believed to be evading capture, officials reported.

The suspect, 22-year-old Zymire Hughes, allegedly pursued a 40-year-old woman during her early morning jog around 5:30 a.m. last Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Police Department revealed that Hughes might have left the state and is thought to have connections in California and Nevada.

Surveillance footage released by officers shows the masked individual trailing the woman as she crossed an intersection.

Police reported that the suspect issued threatening remarks while concealing his hand behind his back, resulting in the victim stumbling and sustaining an injury.

The victim was seen on video having turned around in an apparent attempt to lose the masked figure, but he quickly changed course to continue his pursuit.

A second camera showed the jogger running down a five-lane road with the suspect trailing behind her. 

He was seemingly unable to catch up with her and changed his route while the woman was just feet ahead.

He crossed multiple lanes of traffic and diverted to the sidewalk on the right-hand side of the street as the runner continued to jog down the road.

The suspect had allegedly terrorized multiple people in the community, with police claiming he laughed at his victims and asked if they are ‘ready to die.’

A second victim claimed that the suspect appeared to be filming the nightmarish encounters on his cell phone.

Jameka, who declined to share her last name, told WPVI that the man approached her with his phone in hand just moments after he had chased another woman. 

‘I started to wave at her from across the intersection and say, “Hey, there’s someone behind you – look behind you!” And she heard me, and then she started to run away,’ she claimed.

She said the suspect then tried to force his way into a local coffee shop, but after being denied entry, turned his attention towards her.

The alleged victim screamed ‘don’t follow me’ and put up her hands in a fighting stance, she recalled. 

‘I blocked my face, making sure my centerline was protected. And then he also started to put his hands up but I could tell that he’d never been in a fight before,’ she told the news outlet.

Jameka, who described the suspect as appearing ‘disoriented,’ claims he ran away after she kicked him.

Officers say the suspect will face several serious charges once he is apprehended.

Anyone with information about his identity or whereabouts is asked to call the Philadelphia police at 215-686-8477.

This is a breaking news story.  

A Philadelphia woman’s artistic education became unexpectedly valuable during a terrifying incident involving a masked assailant.

Jameka Wilson, a 25-year-old actress from Philadelphia, found herself in a nightmarish scenario when a man wearing what authorities identified as a “Chucky” doll mask pursued her. The chase unfolded as Wilson was en route to an early morning fitness class on Wednesday, August 12th. With the man following her for only a few moments, Wilson made a split-second decision to pivot and confront him, believing it to be the safest choice.

“The surprise on his face was evident when I turned around,” Wilson recounted during an interview. “He appeared confused, tilting his head side to side as if reconsidering his plan of action.”

“In terms of defense, what he did was essentially make himself vulnerable to various attack strategies I could employ,” she explained.

That’s when Wilson decided to kick her attacker, “boom, right into the center of the chest.”

Wilson credits her ability to defend herself and read her attacker to her art school education in stage combat.

“My alma mater was the University of the Arts, and I trained with fight masters there for stage combat,” said Wilson. “The whole goal is to understand what the consequences of contact and violence are and hopefully keep your scene partner safe.”

“I feel like these experiences helped me fight off the attacker, as crazy as that might sound,” she said.

Wilson said she first saw the masked man as he approached another woman across the street who was “absorbed” in her phone. She described seeing the man accelerate toward the woman, “closing distance really quickly.”

“I started to wave my arms and started yelling, ‘Hey, there’s someone behind you,'” Wilson told News Media. “And at that point she heard me, she saw me, and then she started to run away.”

The masked man eventually turned his focus toward Wilson, chasing her until she turned around to fight.

“As for intent, I’m not really sure what exactly it was. I don’t know if he even knows,” Wilson said.

Police have identified 22-year-old Zymire Hughes as the masked suspect. An arrest warrant is active, and police believe Hughes may have fled Pennsylvania.

Hughes was also seen that morning near City Hall and asked one woman if she was “ready to die” while chasing others, police told FOX 29. Police said the masked man chased a 40-year-old woman and made threatening comments while holding his hand behind his back.

Philadelphia Police Capt. Jason Smith said, “He was able to accost a good many of people, most of which haven’t come forward yet.”

Hughes was seen on surveillance cameras running up to several people, and was refused service at a Dunkin’ because of his mask. He left the restaurant after showing erratic behavior.

Tragedy struck in Madisonville, Kentucky, when a 10-month-old girl lost her life after being left in her grandmother’s scorching hot vehicle for hours. The incident occurred outside the medical clinic where the grandmother worked, according to police statements.

The infant, named Scottie Gwyn Crowell, was discovered still secured in her car seat by her grandmother, Dr. Stacey Fazenbaker, at the Owensboro Health Multicare facility on August 13. Authorities revealed that the baby had been in the vehicle for nearly eight hours, a situation arising after her grandmother was supposed to take her to daycare that morning.

On that fateful day, temperatures soared to 95 degrees Fahrenheit outside, with the interior of the car climbing to a stifling 115 degrees, as reported by WEHT.

The day began with 61-year-old Fazenbaker volunteering to drive her granddaughter to daycare. However, when the baby’s father arrived at the daycare around 4 p.m., staff informed him Scottie had never been dropped off, according to the Daily Mail.

The family was alerted to the heartbreaking oversight when they realized Fazenbaker had driven straight to work, inadvertently leaving the baby girl in the car.

Horrified, Fazenbaker “ran outside with some co-workers to get the child. But it was far too late by then,” Madisonville Police Major Jason McKnight told reporters.

“The grandmother had already got the child, and so the officers tried some lifesaving measures, but unfortunately it was too late for that.”

No charges have been filed as police continue to probe the tragedy.

Fazenbaker was tested for drugs and alcohol, but police don’t anticipate positive results.

“As the picture becomes clearer on how this could have possibly happened, there is a possibility charges are sought before the grand jury convenes,” McKnight said.

An autopsy will determine Scottie’s official cause of death.

Fazenbaker had just moved to Madisonville a year ago to be close to her daughter Sydni Crowell, 33, herself a local OB-GYN,  the Daily Mail reported.

“We love you so much, our sweet baby girl,” Sydni’s sister Emmy Fazenbaker, a sports reporter for Middle Tennessee State University, posted in tribute on Facebook.

The Madisonville Police Department did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for additional information.

Scottie, her parents’ second child, was born on Sept. 20, 2025, via in vitro fertilization, according to the outlet.

Crowell began working at Baptist Health Deaconess in Madison in February 2025 after completing her residency at Mercy Hospital in St Louis.

NEW YORK — “Deciding to compete in the 22nd season of ‘Project Runway’ was a big question mark for me,” shares Bi Pham, a contestant grappling with self-doubt.

“During my school years, I spent a lot of time in speech therapy because I struggled with stuttering. Speaking in public or even answering phone calls was terrifying for me.”

Interestingly, high school wasn’t just where Pham confronted public speaking fears; it was also where he found his fashion passion. Opting to join a fashion design course during his free period turned out to be life-changing.

“I fell in love instantly, and it broadened my perspective,” Pham recalls. It was in this environment that a fellow student introduced him to “Project Runway,” a show that would captivate him deeply.

“I quickly became a dedicated fan, watching with friends and sketching along with the challenges,” he shared. “The show taught me the intricacies of critiquing fashion.”

When the time came to pick a career path at the end of high school, Pham, the first-born son of Vietnamese immigrants, went with his parents’ advice and decided to pursue a career in dentistry.

But when the time came to apply to dental schools, Pham realized, “You only have one life to live”.

Pham moved from Oregon to New York where he studied at FIT before landing a job at Dior. Later, he opened and sold his own business before finally deciding to apply to the 22nd season of “Project Runway.”

“Growing up it was hard, being gay, Vietnamese, first born, catholic and everything. I found humor is a way to make life easier. I find that if I have fun on the show then at the end of the day, no matter what happened to me on the show, I had a good time. That was my goal. And I feel like if I have fun, I’m infecting other designers to have fun.”

While Pham provides comic relief during many moments throughout the show, he hopes someone watching him will draw inspiration from his story and not let their fears hold them back from going after their passion.

“To be on camera is quite daunting. It’s a fear that I am trying to overcome and maybe help someone out there who has the same speech impediment as me. You can do this.”

Project Runway airs Thursdays on Freeform and streams shortly after on Hulu and Disney+, followed by weekly airings.

Disney is the parent company of ABC Localish and this station.

In a startling discovery, human remains have surfaced in Nevada’s iconic Lake Mead, following a significant decline in water levels that has set new records this month.

Las Vegas resident Dianelis Molina Cruz and her friends made the chilling find on August 16 along the shoreline of Boulder Beach, a popular spot within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, roughly 30 miles from the Vegas Strip.

According to reports, a young girl, daughter of a friend of Cruz, was playing in the shallow water when she stumbled upon a human lower jawbone, surprisingly intact with teeth and dental fillings.

Shortly thereafter, additional bones emerged along the shrinking shoreline. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed in a public statement that these remains are from a ‘non-criminal, deceased individual,’ with ongoing examinations to learn more.

The duration that these remains have been lying submerged in Lake Mead remains a mystery, as does the potential involvement in any unlawful activities. The Clark County Coroner’s Office is actively working to identify the body.

Known as the largest reservoir in the United States, Lake Mead was created by the construction of the Hoover Dam, stationed on the Colorado River and serving as a critical resource between Nevada and Arizona.

While it has been providing drinking water, household plumbing and hydroelectric power to millions in the Southwest for decades, the lake has also been in severe decline and now holds only a quarter of the water it used to 40 years ago.

As the water dries up due to severe drought and overuse, more and more bodies have been discovered in recent years – including murder victims. 

As of Wednesday, Lake Mead’s surface elevation was just under 1,040 feet above sea level, meaning the crucial reservoir is around 180 feet lower than it should be when the lake is completely full.

The last time Lake Mead was near its full capacity of 1,220 feet was around the year 2000. It has been steadily dropping over the last three decades due to heavy use in the Southwest, severe drought and lack of snow melting at its source in the Rocky Mountains.

This has exposed large portions of local mountains and shorelines which used to be completely submerged by the lake since it was formed in the 1930s. 

Mario Lecano, who picked up the jawbone, told KVVU-TV that he was chasing his daughter into the water because she did not have a life jacket on at the time.

‘As soon as I grabbed her, I saw down by her legs that there was, what appears to be, some bones and some teeth,’ Lecano revealed.  

Beachgoer Noel De Leon told 8 News Now: ‘We noticed that it’s very low. The water looks very low compared to where it should be. As the water goes down, the skeletons come up.’

In 2022 alone, there were four separate incidents where human remains were uncovered by the declining water levels around Lake Mead.

In October of that year, a human skeleton was pulled from Callville Bay by the National Park Service, about 15 miles away from Boulder Beach.

Those remains were later determined to belong to drowning victim Donald Smith, who disappeared in Lake Mead in April 1974. The death was ruled an accident.

The bones of another drowning victim, 42-year-old Thomas Erndt, were discovered by paddleboarders in Callville Bay in May 2022, two decades after the man died.

However, there have also been more disturbing cases involving other remains recovered from the shrinking lake, including a man who was shot to death and then placed inside a barrel in Lake Mead’s Hemenway Harbor on May 1, 2022.

The murder victim has never been identified, but Las Vegas detectives believe he was killed in the mid-1970s or early 1980s.

Speaking to KSNV at the time of the discovery, Geoff Schumacher, vice president of the Mob Museum, said: ‘When you look at the way the person was killed, and when you think about how the body was disposed of, all of these things kind of tie together with some kind of a mob-related event.’

A fourth man, Las Vegas resident Claude Russell Pensinger, was also discovered in the lake in August 2022, but his cause of death could not be determined. Pensinger had disappeared during a fishing trip on July 14, 1998.

The US Bureau of Reclamation, which manages dams and reservoirs, has warned that Lake Mead’s current water levels sit just five feet from hitting the point where older turbines at Hoover Dam’s hydroelectric facility will be forced to shut down to avoid damage.

The power coming out of Lake Mead at Hoover Dam serves over one million people across Arizona, California and Nevada. It generates about four billion kilowatt-hours of hydroelectric power each year.

Once the drought conditions drop those levels below 950 feet, the entire facility, including the plant’s newer turbines, will have to shut down.

Lake Mead has been drying up due to several factors, including extreme drought conditions throughout the region.

The problem has been particularly dire near the Colorado River’s source in the Rocky Mountains, where very low snowpack totals have meant less frozen water melting into the river to fill it.

Law enforcement has unveiled the identity of a sinister figure suspected of causing panic among the women of Philadelphia while donning a macabre disguise.

Officials are now urging the public to remain vigilant, suggesting that the suspect may have slipped out of Pennsylvania.

The suspect, Zymire Hughes, aged 22, is currently wanted with an arrest warrant issued against him, according to a police announcement. Hughes is implicated in an incident where he allegedly wore a spine-chilling Halloween mask reminiscent of Chucky while attacking a female victim.

This startling event occurred last Wednesday when Hughes reportedly pursued and harassed the woman.

He allegedly yelled at a woman asking her if she was “ready to die” while chasing others, police told FOX 29.

Surveillance cameras allegedly show Hughes running up to people in the city. A Dunkin’ Donuts in the city refused him service because he was wearing the mask.

After terrorizing several people, police say, he allegedly came face-to-face with a woman who was ready to fight back, News Media learned.

A woman trained in combat, Jameka Wilson, was able to fight Hughes when he reportedly threatened her.

“He was not guarding his midsection, so she kicked him hard in the chest. He stumbled and ran,” she said.

Police say Hughes has connections to California and Nevada.

They describe him as a Black male with medium complexion, 5-foot-8, thin build, wearing a white Chucky-style Halloween mask with black hair, and a black/blue plaid backpack.
