| Cathouse star Brooke Phillips and another woman were shot before the home was set aflame |
David Allen Tyner, a suspect in the murder-arson case that left four people dead in Oklahoma City, has turned himself in after an arrest warrant was issued. Police believe he may be responsible for the murders of Milagrous Barrerra, Brooke Phillips -- who appeared in HBO's Cathouse series -- and two people still unidentified.
Tyner has yet to face official charges, but since Barrerra and Phillips were both pregnant, he's expected to be hit with six counts of homicide. Both women were shot before the house was set on fire. Because the bodies were so badly burned, police are having a hard time identifying the victims...

Brittni was beaten to death, set on fire, and then buried outside Albuquerque
Brittni Carlini, a 20-year-old college student from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was excited about a snowboarding trip she had planned for last weekend. So she went to the home of her friend Ryan Vigil to retrieve a snowboard. That's when she disappeared.
Her parents reported her missing the next day. The trail quickly led to Vigil, 19. He admitted that they -- along with another friend, Christopher Midyette, also 19 -- got into an argument over the trip. As Brittni was leaving, Vigil says Midyette smashed her in the head with a baseball bat. The pair then took her to a remote area, dug a grave, doused her with gas and set her on fire, then buried her...

Michael Brewer may have been set ablaze in as beef over a bike
Something went very wrong for 15-year-old Michael Brewer on Sunday. Relatives say he stopped another kid from stealing his father's bike, but he was scared enough by the incident that he refused to attend classes at his Deerfield Beach, Florida middle school on Monday.
Instead, he went to an apartment complex to visit a friend. As he was sitting by the pool, someone came up and doused him with a flammable liquid, then set him ablaze. A neighbor heard the screams and put out the fire with an extinguisher. Michael survived, but he's expected to be hospitalized for five months with massive burns over his torso, arms, and face.
One kid was arrested Sunday over the bike incident. Three more juveniles are in custody today.

| Two bombs were set under the autos in her carport |
The unnamed woman fled, fearing gas in the tanks would explode. Neighbors who heard multiple explosions called police. But this wasn't a case of engineering gone bad. Someone, says the ATF, had placed two bombs under the cars.
Police say there's no doubt she was targeted in the explosions. Though the first bomb blew up, the second one failed to detonate and was disarmed. But the woman has no idea why anyone would target her. "Who would want to hurt me?" she asked KOCO-TV. "Why would someone want to hurt me? I don't understand what is going on. It seems like a dream."

When drug smugglers are approached by the U.S. Navy off the coast of Mexico, they begin chucking bundles of coke overboard and set fire to a luxury speed boat. The Navy still managed to pull a half-ton of coke from the ocean. See the raw video above.

| Denver Jarvis doused Michael with rubbing alcohol before he was set on fire |
"First, my prayers go out to Michael and his family. I just have a few questions Im curious about. Did his parents know he didnt go to school and if so, why was he allowed to go outside at all. Also why was his friend, whom he visited, not in school as well? And why were the other boys that were with Bent not in school?
"For all these boys not to be in school, these parents do need to be held accountable. If my kid, who is also in middle school, is absent from school, I get a text and/or call from my son's school, and I am on it immediately. Not blaming Michael or his mom, just curious!"
