Emanuel Fair in the South Lake Union neighborhood on Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2021. Fair, 38, who grew up in the Seattle, was a murder suspect in the 2008 slaying of software engineer Arpana Jinaga. Jinaga, at the time was a 24-year-old woman, was raped and murdered in her home after a Halloween Party in her complex in Redmond, Wash on Oct 31, 2008. Fair, who was 26-years-old at the time, was held in custody for nine years. During the first case the jury was hung and in the second Fair was acquitted. He was found not guilty for the murder and was released in 2019; the 2008 case has yet to be solved today. Fair recently filed a civil suit against King County and the City of Redmond alleging malicious prosecution and other claims. During his time in custody to pass the time Fair said he would read, write and would call his family when given the opportunity.

A plan to dismantle a historic bridge in the heart of Dutch port city Rotterdam so that the huge yacht can get to the North Sea is unlikely to be plain sailing. Reports this week that the city had already agreed to take apart the recently restored Koningshaven Bridge, known locally as De Hef sparked anger in the city, with one Facebook group set up calling for people to pelt the multimillion dollar yacht with rotten eggs.
