Manhunt Continues for Florida Cop Killer: Hundreds of officers are searching for Markeith Loyd, the suspect in the December 13 murder of his pregnant girlfriend and wounding of her brother, and the January 9 murder of Orlando Police Sergent Debra Clayton, when she confronted him in a Wal-Mart parking lot.

CA Murder Gets Sex Reassignment Surgery: A 57 year-old transgender serving a life term in prison for murder has recently received sex reassignment surgery in a San Francisco hospital at taxpayer's expense. The Associated Press reports that Shiloh Heavenly Quine is the first U.S. inmate to receive a state-funded procedure of this kind. Quine will be transferred to a women's prison after recovery from the surgery which was estimated to cost $100,000. In 1980 the then-named Rodney Quine kidnapped, robbed and shot to death 33-year-old Shahid Ali Baig, the father of three, in downtown Los Angeles. When asked about the surgery for her father's murderer, daughter Farida told reporters "my dad begged for his life. It just makes me dizzy and sick . I'm helping to pay for his surgery; I live in California. It's kind of a slap in the face."
