| Reid Gray may be rich, but he's also confessed to cheating on his wife |
"Just wanted to point out how very frustrating it is that there are soooo many wonderful, intelligent, caring, women with morals and values, not to mention class, out there waiting for a man like this and to be wasted on such a woman disgusts us..."

| Game wardens say elk and deer were left to die and rot on the Turner farm |
So you might expect hunting farm owners to be a bit shady as well. That seems to be the case with Jannet J. Turner and her son Scott Turner, who operate Michigan Trophy Hunts. Last year, people passing by noticed wild boars feeding on dead animals at the Chapin Township preserve...

| Kate Waring vanished in June after dining with two friends |
UPDATE: Police have made another arrest in the murder of Kate. See update after the jump...
After going to the gym, a drug store, and dinner at a Japanese steakhouse with friends, Kate Waring disappeared in the night of June 12. The well-to-do woman from Charleston, South Carolina had drug problems in the past, but this didn't look like a relapse. Her mom said she'd vanished without her clothes or her daily medicine.
When her father Thomas Waring filed a missing persons report, he said something strange had happened between his daughter and two friends, Ethan Mack and Heather Kamp. She was scared of the pair, but dad didn't say why.
Now it turns out that Mack and Kamp had dinner with her that night at the steakhouse. Though they claim to have dropped her off later in the evening, the evidence is starting to say otherwise...

Demario Johnson
5. Demario Lamar Johnson and Lashaun Christopher Johnson
When two young, strapping men walked into a Michigan sportswear shop in the middle of a robbery, the owner's wife must have thought they were Godsends. Unfortunately for her, the only place God would send the Johnson brothers is to some really gnarly corner of hell, where the bar only served O'Doul's and the TV was stuck on St. Louis Rams football.
Lashaun Johnson
Both in their mid-20s, there's a good chance the brothers could have helped the owner, who was wrestling with a robber on the floor when they entered. Instead, they went on a little shoplifting spree of their own, snaking a leather coat and other clothes while the owner and robber struggled on the floor.
The brothers were arrested two days later, and now face 15 years apiece. Oddsmakers say they will probably escape police custody sometime Monday, be arrested trying to return the leather coat to the store they stole it from on Tuesday, and lead our Stupid Criminals list on Wednesday.

People like Maxi Sopo give criminals a bad name. He used to sell roses at Seattle nightclubs, but decided that the late-night retail floral business wouldn't make him rich, so he graduated to the more profitable field of bank fraud.
Sopo couldn't help but tell friends how fun Cancun was
Along with partner Edward Asatoorians, he convinced others to lie about their incomes to get loans for fake auto purchases, then used the money for more pressing things, like partying in Vegas. Asatoorians was convicted last week, but Sopo wisely decided to flee to Cancun, since Cancun is generally considered way more fun than most Washington prisons...

| As everyone knows, it's way easier to steal a baby than go through the discomfort and weight gain of actually having one yourself |
Though she worked as a nursing assistant at a nursing home, Hernandez told relatives she worked at a hospital. So she routinely dressed in scrubs and trolled maternity wards around Albany, Oregon. Then she decided to launch a grand plot.
Hernandez showed up at Samaritan Albany General Hospital and told staff her friend had just given birth to triplets along the side of a road. The woman and her newborns would be arriving soon by helicopter. Staffers checked with dispatchers and found no such emergency. But Hernandez insisted the woman's arrival was imminent, contending she'd already received cell phone pictures of the babies...
