Lady Nabs Europe’s worst marriage swindler (12 marriages)
Helena Logrippo met 49-year-old Guido Bannwart on the internet just before New Year’s Eve and spent four days with him before his requests for money made her suspicious, Frankfurt police spokesman Alexander Kiessling said.
He said the 48-year-old Logrippo first lent Bannwart 700 euros ($906.60) but began her own internet investigation when her lover asked for another 2,000 euros. She found a dozen victims who said they had been cheated out of a total of 500,000 euros by a man Bild newspaper has dubbed “Europe ’s worst marriage swindler.”
“There was an international warrant out for his arrest and she helped us catch him,” Kiessling said, adding Bannwart was in custody and awaiting extradition to France where he is wanted.Kiessling said Logrippo asked her neighbour to take Bannwart’s shoes from outside her door and hide them so he could not run away when she called the police after her Internet discoveries dashed her dreamy love affair.
“He was my kind of guy — tall, strong with a great smile,” Logrippo told Bild newspaper. “It was love at first sight.”

Internet Hero- Cross-eyed opossum
The 2 1/2-year-old opossum was found abandoned ousted an animal shelter in North Carolina along with her sister, Naira. Both opossums, as well as one male named Teddy, have been at the Leipzig Zoo since May and will go on display in July in an exhibit. The German newspaper Bild snapped preview shots of the animals to be featured in the exhibit in December, and pictures of Heidi went viral. Heidi currently has more than 80,000 friends on Facebook, and has inspired a popular German song on YouTube, written by Stefan Langner and performed by three little girls. The lyrics roughly translate to: “Heidi is so sweet. How nice that she exists. I fell so in love with her from the first." The toy manufacturer Kosen will begin selling stuffed Heidi toys in about two weeks.
Zoo officials have two theories about Heidi's ocular deformity - either it's related to the poor nutrition Heidi received in the U.S. , or there are fat deposits behind Heidi's eyes pushing the eyeballs together, which can happen to overweight animals.
