For my two current events I picked a photographer who went missing in Turkey, and Casey Anthony as she files for bankruptcy. We will start with Casey Anthony.
We all know the story about Casey Anthony. She was accused of murdering her daughter Caylee Anthony. In a surprising twist she was found not guilty. That was very surprising to a lot of people, because it seemed that the evidence pointed towards her being the killer. Friday, Casey Anthony filed for bankruptcy, and it looks like her legal troubles won’t be over too soon.
On Friday, Anthony asked for Chapter 7 protection (bankruptcy), in a Tampa federal courtroom. This means that Anthony will have to give away everything and at the end she will have no debts, but she won’t have any money either. Anthony owes almost $800,000 dollars to 80 people, and on top of that she has no job; which means no income. Anthony is also trying to defend herself in several other civil trials, including one against Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, who says that Casey Anthony ruined her reputation. 2 years ago, Casey said that the last time she saw her daughter was when she dropped her off at the home of Gonzalez. But Casey has changed her story many times.
Casey Anthony has 4 main claims that she owes money too. She owes Jose Baez, who was the leading defense attorney in the trial during the summer, $500,000. Orange County Sheriff’s Office needs $145,660.21 from Anthony. She also owes the Internal Revenue Service $68,540. Not to mention the unknown amounts that she owes her parents. I guess Casey Anthony can run, but she can’t hide from the law.
Now to the photographer who was last heard from in Istanbul on Sunday, January 21. Sarai Sierra is a married mother of two boys. She traveled to Istanbul with her camera in hand. Her husband, Steven Diaz Sierra said he talked to her every day from January 7 to January 21, the day before she was supposed to fly back, but has never heard from her after that.
So he and Saria’s brother booked a flight from New York to Istanbul last Sunday. They arrived on Monday and went to her hotel room and found her passport and other belongings, but her iPad and iPhone were not there. According to her husband, her Skype account, which she usually keeps open, was closed down that Monday. The last day the Steven had talked to Saria, she said she was going to see the Asian side of Istanbul and the Galata Bridge.
The rest of the missing women’s family is back home in New York, hoping and praying for the best. They just want their mother and wife to come home.
