A New Mexico inmate was successful in escaping from iron restraints using cocoa butter and several pairs of socks, but her idea to use baby powder to blind the officer didn't work well. Anita Rachel Thomas, 20, was able to make only two feet past the officer she threw baby powder on when he grabbed her. According to new release by Dona Ana County sheriff's office, Thomas freed herself from the leg irons and handcuffs when officers were transporting her to court by a van. When the van stopped and the detention officer opened the door, Thomas allegedly threw baby powder at him, hit him in the face and tried to run.

Although Dawn Larson was born with a disorder that causes most people to stare at her, she never felt discriminated against. Born with Holt-Oram Syndrome, Larson has diminutive hands about six inches from her shoulder but she has led a very productive life. That is until she ordered food from McDonalds for her and her boys. In an interview with the Chicago Sun Times, she stated, "I drank my baby bottle with my feet. Nobody ever taught me how to do it, I just did it," Larson said. "I can ride a regular 10-speed bike. I can swim. It has not been a problem in my life at all. It didn't stop me from having four boys. I've never dropped one of them. "

A strange "ghostly" image captured by a surveillance camera at the First Judicial District courthouse downtown Santa Fe has left many people dumbstruck and confused over the source of the image. The sheriff's deputies, lawyers, clerks and judges are speculating the image to be that of a ghost while many others are of an opinion that it could be a reflection from a passing car or possibly a piece of fluff from a cottonwood tree.
