3 hurricane evacuees charged in murder of Pasadena woman

Houston Chronicle:

Three hurricane evacuees suspected of killing a 77-year-old woman in Pasadena Friday are in custody today facing possible capital murder charges , according to a Pasadena police department official.

Investigators believe the two men and one woman attacked and strangled Pasadena resident Betty Blair in her home Friday and took off in her car with some of her belongings.

Police intercepted Blair's tan 2000 Buick at 8 p.m. last night at the intersection of Beltway and Richmond and arrested the three. An infant child was also with them. Police were able to track and follow the car via Onstar, its on-board electronic tracking system.

One of Blair's daughters found her body in her Parkview Estates home on the 2000 block of South Memorial at 6:30 p.m. Friday. She had been strangled with an electrical cord, a Pasadena police officer said, and her car was missing.

Neighbors said Betty Blair was very involved in the community and was known to have assisted hurricane evacuees through St.Pius Catholic Church.

Way to go Onstar.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
