Stephen Paddock’s estimated $5 million empire – including money he won from gambling and profits he made in real estate

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Stephen Paddock's estimated $5 million empire - including money he won from gambling and profits he made in real estate - is up for grabs Friday, as a court decides how the Las Vegas shooter's wealth is to be split up.

Attorney Craig Eiland, who is representing some of the victims, has filed paperwork demanding a "constructive trust" be formed to handle Paddock's assets.

Paddock's brother, Eric Paddock, has already indicated the $5 million fortune should go to the victims of the Oct. 1 massacre, KLAS reported. But an attorney who represents Paddock's family -- and is trying to be named administrator of the estate -- is also representing the father of one of the shooting victims, Eiland said, a conflict of interest that is "over the top." Eiland is on a team of lawyers who've filed an objection to block the attorney from taking control of the money.

"I'd like to get the estate, all of the estate, for just my clients. But that's just not the right thing to do," Eiland said. "We want to make sure all lawyers and their victims have that right and it's an open and transparent process."

The Las Vegas Victims' Fund committee also announced Thursday it plans to hold two town hall meetings to discuss the distribution of funds raised for victims, according to FOX5 Las Vegas.

A draft protocol put forward by the 16-member group, made up of community representatives, said claims for death, paralysis and permanent brain damage "will receive the highest level of payment." Next will be injury claims for those who required hospitalization.
LAS VEGAS SHOOTING VICTIMS FILE MORE LAWSUITS, PRESS FOR ANSWERS
The group currently has access to around $14 million from GoFundMe donations, the National Compassion Fund and a Nevada State Bank account, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Meanwhile, at Mandalay Bay - the Las Vegas Strip resort and casino where Paddock staged the massacre - security is being beefed up in a bid to prevent potential future incidents and to reassure hotel guests.

Workers there who spoke anonymously to a local newspaper said the hotel recently has set up permanent guard posts next to the elevators leading to rooms. MGM Resorts on Thursday confirmed the move.

"Our team works around the clock to protect the safety of our guests and facilities, and our procedures are always improving and evolving," the owner of Mandalay Bay said in a statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "To that end, we have determined that positioning 24-hour security at the elevator banks improves our surveillance capabilities and enhances security for all of our guests and facilities."

Guests looking to get on the elevators now must show their room keys. Previously, guards were only stationed at the elevator banks for major events, workers told the Review-Journal.

The added security comes despite reports Paddock used a different elevator - the hotel's service elevator -- to transport an arsenal of weapons to his suite on the 32nd floor in the lead-up to the attack. On Oct. 1, he fired out of the window down onto the crowds at a country music festival below, killing 58 and injuring hundreds.
PADDOCK LOST SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY BEFORE ATTACK, POLICE SAY
The massacre has also put a dent into the hotel's business, resulting in layoffs, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

"We have disclosed publicly that occupancy this year at Mandalay Bay will be slightly lower than normal," Alan M. Feldman, MGM's Executive Vice President of Global Industry Affairs, told the newspaper. "We are trying to handle this with the least possible interruption to our employee's schedules, but in some cases, reduced schedules may not be sufficient. We are striving to impact as few employees as possible."

Debra DeShong, the company's vice president of global industry affairs, said several hundred employees are being affected.

MGM CEO Jim Murren told a recent conference call with financial analysts the company's business slumped in the wake of the attack.

Murren said there was a spike in non-group cancellations in October, the Las Vegas Sun reported.

"Of course, our bookings declined immediately after Oct. 1 because we were suspending our outbound marketing programs and focusing on what mattered -- taking care of victims, their families, first responders, our employees and all the guests that are here," Murren said, adding an optimistic note: "We've seen bookings improve, our business improve, here in November."

Suicide bomber kills 5 people in Afghanistan.

An Afghan official says at least three people were killed after a suicide bomber carried out an attack in central Kabul, near the U.S. Embassy.

The target of the attack was not immediately known and no group has claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Wahid Mujro, spokesman for the Health Ministry, says 15 people were wounded in Tuesday's blast, which took place in an area of the city called Wazir Akbar Khan that houses diplomatic missions, embassies and international non-government organizations.

The site of the explosion is about 500 meters (yards) from the American Embassy.

Gen. Dawlat Waziri, spokesman for the Defense Ministry, says the bomber was on foot. The police promptly cordoned off the area of the attack.

In Tampa Florida the police chief and Mayor have agreed to stay in the neighbourhood where the serial killings have happend

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Three people have been killed in the Seminole Heights neighborhood in a span of 11 days this month, leaving the Florida community t errified that a serial killer is on the loose and parents weary about taking their kids trick-or-treating on Tuesday.

In response, Mayor Bob Buckhorn and interim Police Chief Brian Dugan announced plans to celebrate Halloween at a neighborhood park and to boost police presence in the southeast Seminole Heights area. They will be joined by mounted officers on horseback as well as Florida Highway Patrol troopers, according to a release from the city.

"We want those families in southeast Seminole Heights and those kids in particular to be able to go out and have a normal, safe Halloween," Buckhorn told CNN's sister network HLN on Monday. "We'll do everything we can to bring a sense of normalcy to a neighborhood that's been ripped apart."

Police have warned residents not to walk alone especially after sunset. Officials are encouraging people to travel in groups and to be aware of their surroundings.

The victims

Benjamin Mitchell, 22, was shot and killed in front of his home on October 9.

The second victim, Monica Hoffa, 32, was killed two days later on October 11. Her body was found by a city employee in a vacant parking lot half a mile from where Mitchell died.

Then on October 19, Anthony Naiboa, 20, who had just graduated from high school, became the third victim when he accidentally got on the wrong bus after leaving work and ended up in the southeast Tampa neighborhood, police said.

Authorities believe Naiboa was making his way to another bus stop. He did not get more than 200 yards before he was shot and killed.

The three victims were alone and found within about a half-mile of each other, Dugan said.

Officials said police have so far avoided calling the suspect a serial killer due to a lack of evidence.

Last week, a uthorities released new grainy surveillance video showing what they described as a person of interest running away from the first of the three homicides. The video, taken at different angles, shows the same person seen in the historic Seminole Heights neighborhood in an earlier video released by police.

Dugan said the person in the video is not considered a suspect in the string of shootings, but he may have answers.

"He may have seen something or heard something," the chief said of the person seen flipping what appears to be a cellphone in their right hand while walking.

Since that video was released Thursday, police have received hundreds of tips. The vast majority are related to the video, said Stephen Hegarty, spokesman for the Tampa Police Department.

Any clue, any little detail such as the phone flip, may lead to a break in the case, authorities said.

"There are some distinctive things about that person that we're hoping people will watch and will jog memories," Buckhorn told HLN's Erica Hill.

Earlier in the month, police had released another surveillance video of the same person walking in the area.

Effect on neighborhood

The killings have alarmed residents in Seminole Heights.

"It could've been any of us walking down the street with our dog or walking around to the corner store," said Tammy Brooks, a resident told CNN affiliate WFLA.

Feeling uneasy about walking in the dark, Brooks considered taking her daughter to another neighborhood for trick-or-treating.

"It was heartbreaking, yes, to feel like you can't come out or do what we used to do," she said.

After hearing that the police would boost its presence in the neighborhood, Brooks said she felt more comfortable about staying close to home.

The mayor acknowledged that many people are fearful.

"They're under siege as a result of the senseless killings of these three innocent people," Buckhorn said. "We want to compliment that neighborhood for standing up and not being willing to surrender, not being cowed, not staying in their houses. They're out there with us. They recognize that they have to use precaution... but they're not giving up."

CNN's Chuck Johnston and Faith Karimi contributed to this report.

Japanese man arrested after body parts found in cooler

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police in Japan have arrested a 27-year-old man after he admitted to killing an unidentified person and dismembering the body.

Japanese media reported parts of as many as nine bodies were found in the apartment of Takahiro Shiraishi in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, southwest of Tokyo.

Shiraishi has been arrested on the charge of abandoning a corpse, police told CNN, and investigation is still ongoing. The names, ages and genders of the alleged victims have not been revealed.

"I killed (a person) and dismembered the body and put them into a cooler box with cat litter in order to hide the evidence," Shiraishi said, according to police.

A police officer would not comment on the eight other bodies reportedly found in Shiraishi's apartment.

According to Japanese public broadcaster NHK, police searched Shiraishi's home as part of an investigation into the disappearance of a 23-year-old woman from Hachioji City, in the Tokyo suburbs.

Investigators told NHK the woman was reported missing last Tuesday after she posted a message online saying she was looking for someone to join her in committing suicide. Surveillance footage showed her walking with the suspect near the man's apartment.

When they searched Shiraishi's apartment, police found the dismembered body parts of nine people, hidden around the apartment, NHK reported.

Citing police sources, TV Asahi reported three cooler boxes and five containers were found in Shiraishi's room containing human heads and bones with the flesh scraped off.

Two Hawaiian mariners and their two dogs were rescued Wednesday after their sailboat strayed well off course during a trip to Tahiti and they were stranded in the Pacific Ocean for several months.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two Hawaiian mariners and their two dogs were rescued Wednesday after their sailboat strayed well off course during a trip to Tahiti and they were stranded in the Pacific Ocean for several months, the U.S. Navy said.

The USS Ashland, part of the Navy's 7th Fleet, picked up Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fuiaba, both from Honolulu, after they were discovered 900 miles southeast of Japan by a Taiwanese fishing vessel.

The mariners had originally set sail with their two dogs from Hawaii to Tahiti this spring. After having engine problems on May 30 during bad weather, the two thought they could make it to land by using only their sail, according to the Navy.

Two months later, way after when they were originally supposed to arrive in Tahiti, Appel and Fuiaba began to issue distress calls.

"The two continued the calls daily, but they were not close enough to other vessels or shore stations to receive them," the Navy said.

The pair survived so long at sea by bringing water purifiers and over a year's worth of food on board, primarily in the form of dry goods such as oatmeal, pasta and rice, according to Appel.

"I'm grateful for their service to our country. They saved our lives," Appel said. "The pride and smiles we had when we saw [U.S. Navy] on the horizon was pure relief."

The two mariners will remain on board the Ashland until the ship's next port of call. The ship has been on routine deployment for the past five months to respond to maritime situations.

"The U.S. Navy is postured to assist any distressed mariner of any nationality during any type of situation," said Cmdr. Steven Wasson, the Ashland's commanding officer, in a news release.

A year ago this month a 26 year old mother overdosed with a baby in the back seat crying.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What you can't see in the photo is the back seat, where her infant son sat crying.

That was a year ago this month -- but for Erika Hurt, it might as well be a lifetime.

The 26-year-old Indiana woman says she has been clean since that day, doting on her son and working a full-time job.

And the photo, which at first was a source of anger and humiliation, illustrates the slippery line between sobriety and despair.

"I was sober. I stopped going to meetings. I forgot about how bad the addiction got," Hunt told CNN about that period in her life last year. "This photo helped me look back. It's a constant reminder that sobriety needs to be worked at."

The day the photo was shot

The day the photograph was taken, Hurt had parked in the lot of a dollar store in Hope, Indiana, to shoot up heroin. She had gotten out of a month-long stint in rehab just two weeks earlier. Her 10-month-old son was in the back seat.

She rationalized his presence the same way a lot of addicts do while using in front their kids, she said: They're asleep. Or they're too young to realize what's going on.

The last thing Hurt remembers from that day is pulling into the parking lot. She later learned a customer found her slumped over in the car and called 911.

It took officers two doses of Narcan, the drug used to reverse an overdose in an emergency situation, to revive her.

"Had this woman not passed out from this and attempted to drive right afterward, she could have (driven) down the road, passed out two minutes later and hit a car with a family in it, killed every one of them," Hope Town Marshal Matthew Tallent told CNN at the time. "That's the thing that's so shocking to me to think about."

After a brief hospital stay came jail. Hunt had violated her probation from a previous charge in 2014.

While she was waiting for her sentencing date, a local reporter requested an interview. Then another asked, and another.

She didn't think much of it at the time. She found out why when she was watching the evening news.

A police officer had snapped a photo of her passed out in the car. It soon went viral.

"I felt very humiliated, I felt very angry," she said. "You know, it was hard for me to truly believe that it was me."

Hurt's story fits into a grim pattern, as research shows heroin use is on the rise in the US. The most recent United Nations' World Drug Report found that 914,000 people aged 12 years or older reported using heroin in 2014 -- a 145% increase since 2007.

Hunt has been fighting addiction all her life, she says.

"I had been an addict since I was 15 years old," she said. "It wasn't until I was 21 that I began seeking help -- and I was failing at it. "

The overdose, captured in the photo, led to Hunt getting clean.

She was sentenced to six months of intense rehab in a locked-down facility -- one that focused on the underlying issues of addiction and how to cope with them.

She's part of WRAP (Women Recovering with a Purpose), a program that requires continued meetings with a therapist, a sobriety coach and multiple "self care" classes such as Narcotics Anonymous every week.

Now, she works more than 40 hours a week at a local factory. She also cares for her son, but her mom has guardianship.

At this point, her focus is on staying the course.

"If you are sober and healthy," she said, "then you can take care of everybody else."

Japanese man is arrested after parts of 9 bodies found inside apartment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man was arrested Tuesday after the severed parts of nine bodies were found stored in coolers inside his apartment, Japanese media reported.

Police were led to Takahiro Shiraishi while investigating the disappearance of a 23-year-old woman. The missing woman was seen on a security tape with Shiraishi earlier this month near his apartment, Sky News reported.

A number of coolers, each containing body parts, were found inside the home located just outside of Tokyo, Reuters reported.

Shiraishi was arrested on suspicion of abandoning a body, police say.

The 27-year-old reportedly told police that he had killed the nine people and attempted hide their bodies.

Police plan to carry out DNA test to identify the body parts, which included two severed heads, The Japan Times reported.

A neighbor of Shiraishi told the Times he noticed an "odd smell" that came from his apartment in August saying it smelt "like sewage."

Two University of South Dakota football players have been arrested and charged over an alleged sexual assault.

The Vermillion, South Dakota, police department said that Danny Rambo Jr., 20, had been charged with second degree rape and that Dale Williamson Jr., 21, had been charged with attempted second degree rape.

"This is a very troubling accusation, and university police will assist the Vermillion investigation in any way possible," USD President James W. Abbott said in a statement. "The university is committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all of our students."

The South Dakota football program announced the suspension of three players over the weekend, including the two charged on Monday for rape.

Rambo is identified by the team as a junior from Donalsville, Florida and Williamson is a sophomore from Texarkana, Texas.

The Vermillion police said the pair had been arrested as a result of a sexual assault investigation initiated on Oct. 25 for the alleged incident that took place on Oct. 22.

Both men turned themselves in without incident, police said, adding that the investigation is continuing.

Tiger Woods announce he's excited to be back in competitive golf.

Golf Rob Goldberg Gregory Bull/Associated Press Twitter Logo Featured Columnist
Tiger Woods announced Monday he will make his return to golf Nov. 30 in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

"I am excited to return to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge," Woods said in a statement on his website. "Albany is the perfect setting, and it will be great to join this outstanding field. I want to thank Pawan Munjal and Hero MotoCorp for their continued support of this tournament and my foundation. I would also like to thank the fans for their unwavering support during my injury."

Woods competed in this event last year and finished 15th out of the 17 players who completed the four rounds. His only other tournament in the 2017 season was the Farmers Insurance Open in January, and he failed to make the cut.

The 14-time major champion has been out the past nine months with a back injury.

In that stretch, Woods was pulled over for driving under the influence and pleaded guiltyto reckless driving. He completed treatment to help manage problems with pain medications and a sleep disorder.

He has been working his way back to the sport in recent weeks, posting videos on his progress:

It appears he will be ready to return to action next month in one of the tougher fields in the world.

The Hero World Challenge is an exclusive 18-player tournament that includes the top four players in the world rankings and 16 of the top 25. Woods earned a spot as a host, while Daniel Berger filled out the list as an exemption.

Hideki Matsuyama won $1 million with his first-place finish at the event last year.

The bachelor producers sued for alleged for sexual harassment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A former employee of "The Bachelor" franchise has sued Warner Bros., creator Mike Fleiss' company NZK Productions, and several of the show's individual producers and executive producers, alleging sexual harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and wrongful termination, among other complaints.

Becky Steenhoek, who worked on "The Bachelor" and its related shows from 2014 until 2016, claimed in paperwork filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday that she was fired for complaining about the "hostile work environment" that was created "by pervasive and persistent sexual inquiries and language directed at her by the show's executive producers and cast producers."

Sexual questions directed at her were "intended to embarrass her because of her sexual inexperience and conservative views about sex," she added in the document, which was obtained by Los Angeles ABC station KABC.

"We are publicizing Ms. Steenhoek's lawsuit in the hopes of encouraging other employees who worked on 'The Bachelor' to come forward and share their stories of sexual harassment," her attorney Michael S. Morrison told KABC. "One of the reasons why Hollywood's sexual harassment problem has persisted for so long is the fear many employees have of speaking out and being retaliated against. We are hopeful that the current climate will lead other employees to bravely step forward like Ms. Steenhoek has in order fight against this type of behavior."

However, Warner Bros., which acknowledged that it had received Steenhoek's complaint, denied Steenhoek's claims in a statement of its own.

"We take all allegations of workplace harassment very seriously. These allegations were brought to our attention and were thoroughly investigated earlier this year," their statement read. "Our findings did not support the plaintiff's characterization of the events claimed to have taken place, which is why we are disappointed by the filing of this lawsuit."

Steenhoek is seeking unspecified economic and punitive damages.

"I think it's an industry-wide problem -- these executives are untouchable," she said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "If you report it, you get retaliated against, you get fired because then you're not a team player. If you don't report it, then it was essentially me not being me. I would have had to sacrifice my values and my morals for something I didn't think was right, and I'm not gonna do that."

Natalie Finn an adopted 16 year old teenager died of stravation and abuse and the parents had her on life insurance n got 10,000 when she died.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
DES MOINES - Natalie Finn's parents took out two life insurance policies on their adopted daughter before the 16-year-old died from starvation and abuse in the family's West Des Moines home, Polk County court filings show.

A Hartford Life Insurance policy carried a $10,000 benefit, according to a court filing related to Natalie Finn's estate. Another policy that Natalie's adoptive mother, Nicole Finn, took out in 2009 carried a $25,000 benefit.

A court petition filed this month shows that Natalie's adoptive father, Joseph M. Finn II, called about the second policy from Quad Cities-based Modern Woodmen of America the day after Natalie died in October 2016. Nicole Finn was subsequently sent information on filing a claim.

Both Joseph and Nicole Finn have been charged in Natalie's death.

Natalie's oldest adoptive brother, Alexander Finn, also called about the policy. He has not been charged.

Whether anyone receives anything hinges on Nicole Finn's upcoming trial, according to Ned Miller, who was appointed to represent Natalie's estate.

Nicole Finn, 42, faces a Nov. 27 trial in Polk County on multiple felony charges, including first-degree murder, for allegedly abusing Natalie and two teenage siblings who also were adopted.

Nicole Finn has pleaded not guilty, and her lawyers have said she will use a defense of diminished mental capacity.

Joseph Finn's trial was continued until Jan. 8. The 46-year-old has pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping, neglect, abandonment and child endangerment.

His attorney, Jim Cook, said Finn doesn't anticipate using any "special" defenses, instead contending that the father didn't live in Nicole Finn's home after the two divorced in 2011 and "wasn't around the kids that often."

Numerous people, including school officials and neighbors, reported they believed Natalie was being abused before she was pulled out of public school last year and died in her own waste in the West Des Moines home.

She was wearing an adult diaper and lying on the linoleum floor of her bare bedroom when police and medics discovered her, according to court documents.

A medical examination found the teen died of emaciation because of the denial of critical care.

Natalie's death and those of other children adopted out of state foster care have prompted probes by Iowa legislators, the state ombudsman, Iowa's Child Death Review Team, Iowa's Department of Human Services and a private consultant hired by the state to review the state's child-welfare policies.

Joseph Finn has agreed to relinquish any right to the $10,000 he stood to receive from the Hartford Life policy he took out in the event of Natalie's death.

A court petition filed this month by Modern Woodmen asks that a judge ultimately decide who should receive the $25,000 benefit since Natalie's death was a homicide and her parents may both be disqualified as beneficiaries.

The non-profit fraternal organization asked to turn over the $25,000 to the court so it can be relieved from any liability in any potential court action "because of a controversy not of its making."

Modern Woodmen and its attorney, Debra Hulett, declined to comment Monday on the civil court action.

The petition shows that the policy Nicole Finn took out in 2009 on Natalie's behalf named Nicole herself as the principal beneficiary and her oldest son, Alexander K. Finn, an adult, as a contingent beneficiary.

Finn bought the policy after Natalie's adoption from foster care but before her 2011 divorce from Joe, the filing shows.

On Nov. 8, less than two weeks after Natalie's death, Modern Woodmen sent Nicole Finn information about filing a claim. The company said Alexander Finn also contacted the company in January this year and was sent information about filing a claim.

Cook said it's his understanding both parents obtained life insurance on all their minor children.

Normally, the Woodmen policy would pay Nicole Finn first, then Joseph Finn, in the event of Natalie's death, according to Modern Woodmen's petition.

But under Iowa law, if a beneficiary is disqualified, that beneficiary "shall be considered to have predeceased the insured."

Death "by the hand of a beneficiary" automatically disqualifies that person from receiving proceeds under company bylaws.

google burger emoji shows that the cheese is under the meat when the cheese should be on top. Apples is also wrong because they put the lettuce on the bottomof the burger. Googles CEO says he will drop everything on monday.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The burger emoji is sparking some controversy online.

Google's version of the emoji on Android shows the cheese beneath the burger and above the bun. While the cheese placement isn't new, a writer and media analyst started a debate that went viral over the weekend over whether or not it should be placed on top or below the burger.

"I think we need to have a discussion about how Google's burger emoji is placing the cheese underneath the burger, while Apple puts it on top," he tweeted.

Twitter users were quick to weigh in on what they thought was the proper order of a burger's toppings.

"Obviously, cheese must be on top of meat," wrote one Twitter user.

"They're both wrong. Google's cheese is wrong, Apple's lettuce is wrong. The correct order, from bottom up, is burger - cheese - toppings," said another user.

Following backlash on Twitter, Google CEO Sundar Pichai tweeted he would "drop everything" on Monday to address the debate, clarifying "if folks can agree on the correct way to do this!"

However, no changes have happened yet.

Related: Apple teases hundreds of new emoji, including gender neutral options

Companies like Google and Apple comes up with their own interpretation of the symbols approved by the Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit that sets the global standard for emoji and other software. That's why emoji -- like the burger -- look different on iPhones than on Android devices.

Android recently redesigned its emoji following criticism that it resembles blobs.Earlier this month, Apple teased hundreds of new emoji, such as a gender neutral option, a Chinese takeout box and a hedgehog.

Although there may not be a "right" way to assemble a cheeseburger, some Twitter users believe Microsoft's depiction of the emoji was the most accurate.

"The burger emoji battle is fun, but let's take a moment to point out that Microsoft is the only one that gets it completely right," one user wrote.

A Japanese man was arrested after parts of 9 bodies found inside of his apartment

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man was arrested Tuesday after the severed parts of nine bodies were found stored in coolers inside his apartment, Japanese media reported.

Police were led to Takahiro Shiraishi while investigating the disappearance of a 23-year-old woman. The missing woman was seen on a security tape with Shiraishi earlier this month near his apartment, Sky News reported.

A number of coolers, each containing body parts, were found inside the home located just outside of Tokyo, Reuters reported.

Shiraishi was arrested on suspicion of abandoning a body, police say.

The 27-year-old reportedly told police that he had killed the nine people and attempted hide their bodies.

Police plan to carry out DNA test to identify the body parts, which included two severed heads, The Japan Times reported.

A neighbor of Shiraishi told the Times he noticed an "odd smell" that came from his apartment in August saying it smelt "like sewage."

This photo of a mom overdosing as her baby's in the back seat saved her life. A year ago this month a mom overdosed in her car with her son in the backseat. Ever since then she's been clean of drugs.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What you can't see in the photo is the back seat, where her infant son sat crying.

That was a year ago this month -- but for Erika Hurt, it might as well be a lifetime.

The 26-year-old Indiana woman says she has been clean since that day, doting on her son and working a full-time job.

And the photo, which at first was a source of anger and humiliation, illustrates the slippery line between sobriety and despair.

"I was sober. I stopped going to meetings. I forgot about how bad the addiction got," Hunt told CNN about that period in her life last year. "This photo helped me look back. It's a constant reminder that sobriety needs to be worked at."

The day the photo was shot

The day the photograph was taken, Hurt had parked in the lot of a dollar store in Hope, Indiana, to shoot up heroin. She had gotten out of a month-long stint in rehab just two weeks earlier. Her 10-month-old son was in the back seat.

She rationalized his presence the same way a lot of addicts do while using in front their kids, she said: They're asleep. Or they're too young to realize what's going on.

The last thing Hurt remembers from that day is pulling into the parking lot. She later learned a customer found her slumped over in the car and called 911.

It took officers two doses of Narcan, the drug used to reverse an overdose in an emergency situation, to revive her.

"Had this woman not passed out from this and attempted to drive right afterward, she could have (driven) down the road, passed out two minutes later and hit a car with a family in it, killed every one of them," Hope Town Marshal Matthew Tallent told CNN at the time. "That's the thing that's so shocking to me to think about."

After a brief hospital stay came jail. Hunt had violated her probation from a previous charge in 2014.

While she was waiting for her sentencing date, a local reporter requested an interview. Then another asked, and another.

She didn't think much of it at the time. She found out why when she was watching the evening news.

A police officer had snapped a photo of her passed out in the car. It soon went viral.

"I felt very humiliated, I felt very angry," she said. "You know, it was hard for me to truly believe that it was me."

Hurt's story fits into a grim pattern, as research shows heroin use is on the rise in the US. The most recent United Nations' World Drug Report found that 914,000 people aged 12 years or older reported using heroin in 2014 -- a 145% increase since 2007.

Hunt has been fighting addiction all her life, she says.

"I had been an addict since I was 15 years old," she said. "It wasn't until I was 21 that I began seeking help -- and I was failing at it. "

The overdose, captured in the photo, led to Hunt getting clean.

She was sentenced to six months of intense rehab in a locked-down facility -- one that focused on the underlying issues of addiction and how to cope with them.

She's part of WRAP (Women Recovering with a Purpose), a program that requires continued meetings with a therapist, a sobriety coach and multiple "self care" classes such as Narcotics Anonymous every week.

Now, she works more than 40 hours a week at a local factory. She also cares for her son, but her mom has guardianship.

At this point, her focus is on staying the course.

"If you are sober and healthy," she said, "then you can take care of everybody else."

Source: FBI opens inquiry into Whitefish's Puerto Rico contract.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The energy firm was contracted to rebuild the damaged electrical grid that was destroyed by hurricanes that struck the island. The Wall Street Journal was first to report the existence of the FBI probe.

However, the FBI field office in San Juan would neither confirm nor deny an investigation.

There have been multiple concerns raised about the contract, including by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Whitefish Energy is based in the hometown of US Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, but Zinke denies having anything to do with the contract.

Whitefish Energy spokesman Ken Luce also denied knowledge of an investigation.

"While Whitefish is not aware of any such investigation, Whitefish is committed to full cooperation with any inquiry or investigation," Luce told CNN. "The procurement of the PREPA contract was at all times fully appropriate. Our focus continues to be on our work in Puerto Rico completing the work PREPA has tasked Whitefish to complete including the repair of the second major transmission line."

CNN's Sophie Tatum contributed to this report.
