Denver police officer Ryan Burke was arrested last month after allegedly harassing his former girlfriend so persistently at an area hotel that representatives from the business called his fellow cops on him. But this is hardly the first time he's been in trouble with either his employer or local officials. He's been suspended twice during the past four years by the Denver Police Department, and the Denver City Council paid thousands to settle an excessive-force lawsuit that named him.

A Freedom of Information Act request conducted by Montana's KULR-TV has revealed that Jeff Murphy, who died from a 500 foot fall in Yellowstone National Park last June, had been searching for a $2 million treasure said to have been hidden by New Mexico author Forrest Fenn. As we've reported, three Coloradans previously died in this quest during the past two years, making Murphy the fourth person confirmed to have lost his life during a Fenn treasure hunt. But the ex-wife of one victim from the state believes that two additional people have perished to date for what she's dubbed a hoax, bringing the total to six.

Its BABYglimpse is a new app parents can use to determine basic traits like the color of a baby's skin, eyes and hair, and even more complex behavioral traits — like whether a kid will be prone to problem-solving or act more confrontational.
