BREAKING: SUSPECT QUESTIONED, MISS USA HOPEFUL VANISHES FROM WORK, WHERE'S KADA

Best friends Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas ride their bikes in front of Maria’s home. The speed limit is just 25, so the girls feel comfortable riding in the street, but with no warning, a black Jeep Compass barrels down Burnside Avenue at nearly three times the speed limit. The driver never braked, running Maria and Isabella down, and then sped off without stopping to check on the two girls. The hit-and-run driver doesn’t get far. Police find the suspect vehicle, a black 2021 Jeep.Compass, broken down from damage sustained in the crash just blocks away on Lincoln Avenue, with a bike still lodged in the front bumper. The 17-year-old boy behind the wheel is briefly detained and ultimately released to his family with 15 traffic tickets while police continue to investigate the crash. Meanwhile, at the crash site, witnesses call 911 and rush to the girls’ aid; one is declared dead on the scene, while the other passes away minutes later at a hospital. The day after teens Maria and Isabella are killed in a hit-and-run, officers arrest the 17-year-old driver, now charged as a minor with 2 counts of first-degree murder. Union County prosecutors keep the driver’s identity private; however, traffic summons records reveal his name: Vincent P. Battiloro. Battiloro is familiar with law enforcement, his father being an officer with Chatham PD, and his uncle, Chief of Westfield PD. The teen was also under investigation for harassing and stalking his classmate and ex-girlfriend Maria Niotis.

Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society. Posing as Anna Delvey, a German heiress, she swindled banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $200,000. She forged checks to get money from banks and charmed people into paying for extravagant meals and travel. Sorokin was convicted on a handful of grand larceny and theft of services charges. After serving her time, the 31-year-old was released from prison and is now fighting against deportation, but once again, Sorokin has managed to land on her feet. First, she landed a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story, then began selling her artwork, and then Sorokin said her home confinement and social media ban are “more restrictive” than jail. Sorokin is back in the headlines, saying the weight she gained in prison is "embarrassing." Delvey tells Page Six the food in prison is the worst. Delvey's ankle monitor radius had been extended now to 75 miles, which allows her roaming room for the long series of beauty treatments she's indulging in, paid for by her income from Dancing With The Stars.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs, disgraced music mogul, 55, was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution over the summer and sentenced today to 50 months, 4 years, and 2 months in prison for those convictions. Judge Arun Subramanian tells Diddy there is “light at the end of the tunnel” for him and his family. He acknowledges the mogul is in a “dark place” right now, but he will pull through with the support of his loved ones. “This is a hard time in prison, away from your family, friends, and community, but you will have a life afterward,” Subramanian states. Also, Combs’ last-ditch efforts for a full acquittal or new trial are denied just hours before sentencing. Judge Subramanian writes in his decision the prosecution proved their case "so well, that alone" is enough to reject Combs’ motion, but he goes on to argue “spillover bias” does not apply, as the jury did not convict Combs on the most applicable charges. Despite initially denying Combs’ request to wear ‘street clothes’ for his sentencing, Judge Subramanian ultimately approves a button-down, sweater, pants, and dress shoes for Combs. Subramanian required a more structured argument and that his attorneys pare down his wardrobe options before granting the request.
