The body of a missing 6-year-old girl, Ahlittia North, was found in a trash bin about 100 feet from her New Orleans home early Tuesday morning, officials said.
Police say they are now in the process of issuing an arrest warrant for 20-year-old Matthew Flugence, the nephew of Ahlittia?s stepfather Albert Hill.
Flugence?s brother, Russell, is being held in jail and has been charged with obstruction of justice in connection to the case, police said
Ahlittia was first reported missing by her mother, Lisa North Hill, and stepfather, on Saturday morning. There were no signs of forced entry to the home, cops said.
?She was a very outgoing child ? very friendly ? one that if someone knocked on the door or rang the doorbell she wanted to be the first to answer,? Sheriff Newell Normand of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff?s Office said in a press conference Tuesday. ?It could have been very likely that she had gone and opened the front door.?
On Saturday, investigators discovered a pool of blood seven doors down from North Hill?s apartment, but it was not until Monday that DNA results confirmed the blood belonged to Ahlittia.
Police officers then canvassed the neighborhood again. At around midnight Monday night, Ahlittia?s body was found in a garbage can, wrapped in her missing blanket.
Sheriff Normand said investigators had searched that same trash can over the weekend and found nothing. Police do not know when the body was disposed of or where it had been held.
?We spent a lot of time with [the parents] trying to make sure we don?t misstep,? Normand told reporters. ?It?s the ultimate nightmare of any parent?s ? to wake up and their child is gone ? having no idea what happened to the child.?
The Coroner for the JPSO cited Ahlittia?s cause of death as two aggressive stab wounds to the neck. She sustained numerous other injuries, including two stab wounds to the abdomen and bruising to the front and back of her head.
According to the family, Matthew Flugence had babysat the 6-year-old in the past. He has also been wanted since late April for the alleged sexual battery of an 11-year-old girl, officials said. It was unclear whether the family knew about Flugence?s sexual assault allegations.
At this point it remains unclear if Ahlittia was abused sexually but there are no obvious signs indicating that she was.

HTC and Sony prevail over patent troll WiLAN
A federal jury has just taken a bite out of patent licensing firm WiLAN's business plan, ruling that HTC, Sony, Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson didn't infringe any of the four patents it sued them over. The latter two companies fended off three wireless base station claims, while Sony and HTC defended a fourth involving handset technology. HTC said it believed that WiLAN "exaggerated the scope of its patent" to extract royalties, while a spokesman for Alcatal-Lucent said it believed the company "was stretching the boundaries of its patents" -- all of which were invalidated by the court. WiLAN has been fighting such battles on numerous fronts for many years, including one reported to have resulted in a large settlement with Intel. Though it said it was disappointed by the decision, the IP firm still has pending litigation against Time Warner and Comcast, among others. Those cable firms may be hoping a White House patent reform bill will be tabled sooner rather than later.

Microsoft Watch With LTE Connectivity Is Under Development
A Microsoft watch is currently in the works and will feature LTE technology according to a new report.
The smartwatch with mobile device connectivity was first rumored in April and now a prototype is believed to be near completion and in preparation for team-based testing.
Microsoft could face a lot of competition in the wearable tech space by the time the smartwatch debuts. The Apple iWatch team recently began hiring new workers and Sony has already released generation 2 of its Google Android based smartwatch.
According to The Verge the Microsoft Watch was originally testing as the Joule and featured a heart-rate monitor for use with the company?s Kinect and fitness games. The watch featured a 1.5-inch display that required parts from several manufacturers.
In another rumor AmongTech claimed that Microsoft was working with removable wrist bands. The original prototypes from Microsoft were said to include a translucent material called Oxynitride Aluminum. That material is three times harder than glass but also much more expensive.
The new Microsoft Watch prototypes are said to use a modified version of Windows 8 that is capable of interacting with other Windows devices. The current rumor also suggests 6GB of storage alongside its own 4G LTE data connection. With LTE the smartwatch can work on its own to browse the web and perform other tasks. It?s that LTE technology that could give Microsoft leverage over its potential and current competitors.
While the Microsoft smartwatch would not be a smartphone based on current rumors, it could receive push notifications from the users smartphone and even control Windows Apps remotely.
With Apple, Samsung, and now Microsoft entering the smartwatch business it is turning into an exciting time for wearable technology.
Would you be willing to purchase and wear a Microsoft Watch? Do you think the wearable tech industry lead by smartwatch devices and Google Glass is looking promising?

Researchers hack Verizon device, turn it into mobile spy station

A photo illustration shows the Verizon wireless carrier icon on a mobile phone screen.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two security experts said they have figured out how to spy on Verizon Wireless mobile phone customers by hacking into devices the U.S. carrier sells to boost wireless signals indoors.
The finding, which the experts demonstrated to Reuters and will further detail at two hacking conferences this summer, comes at a time of intense global debate about electronic privacy, after top-secret U.S. surveillance programs were leaked by a former National Security Agency contractor, Edward Snowden, last month.
"This is not about how the NSA would attack ordinary people. This is about how ordinary people would attack ordinary people," said Tom Ritter, a senior consultant with the security firm iSEC Partners.
Verizon said it has updated the software on its signal-boosting devices, known as femtocells or network extenders, to prevent hackers from copying the technique of the two experts.
But Ritter said motivated hackers can still find other ways to hack the femtocells of Verizon, as well as those offered by some 30 carriers worldwide to their customers.
Femtocells, which act as tiny cellphone towers, can be purchased directly from Verizon for $250. Used models can be obtained online for about $150.
Ritter and his colleague, Doug DePerry, demonstrated for Reuters how they can eavesdrop on text messages, photos and phone calls made with an Android phone and an iPhone by using a Verizon femtocell that they had previously hacked.
They declined to disclose how they had modified the software on the device, saying they do not want to make it any easier for criminals to figure out similar ways to hack femtocells.
The two said they plan to give more elaborate demonstrations two weeks from now at the Black Hat and Def Con hacking conferences in Las Vegas. More than 15,000 security professionals and hackers are expected to attend those conferences, which feature talks on newly found bugs in communications systems, smart TVs, mobile devices and computers that run facilities from factories to oil rigs.
Verizon Wireless released a Linux software update in March that prevents its network extenders from being compromised in the manner reported by Ritter and DePerry, according to company spokesman David Samberg.
"The Verizon Wireless Network Extender remains a very secure and effective solution for our customers," Samberg said in a statement. He said there have been no reports of customers being impacted by the bug that the researchers had identified. The company is a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc.
Samberg said his company uses an internal security team as well as outside firms to look for vulnerabilities in the devices it sells, before and after they are released.
Still, the two researchers said they are able to use the hacked femtocell to spy on Verizon phones even after Verizon released that update because they had modified the device before the company pushed out the software fix.
The researchers built their "proof of concept" system that they will demonstrate in Las Vegas with femtocells manufactured by Samsung Electronics Co and a $50 antenna from Wilson Electronics Inc.
They said that with a little more work, they could have weaponized it for stealth attacks by packaging all equipment needed for a surveillance operation into a backpack that could be dropped near a target they wanted to monitor.
For example, a group interested in potential mergers might place such a backpack in Manhattan restaurants frequented by investment bankers. Verizon's website said the device has a 40-foot range, but the researchers believe that could be expanded by adding specialized antennas.
The iSEC researchers are not the first to warn of vulnerabilities in femtocells, but claim to be the first to hack the femtocells of a U.S. carrier and also the first running on a wireless standard known as CDMA.
Other hacking experts have previously uncovered security bugs in femtocells used by carriers in Europe.
CTIA, a wireless industry group based in Washington, in February released a report that identified femtocells as a potential point of attack.
John Marinho, CTIA's vice president for cyber security and Technology, said that the group is more concerned about other potential cyber threats, such as malicious apps. He is not aware of any case where attacks were launched via femtocells.
Still, he said, the industry is monitoring the issue: "Threats change every day."

Thai university apologizes for Hitler banner
BANGKOK -- Thailand's premier university has apologized for displaying a banner that showed Adolf Hitler alongside Superman and other superheroes. School officials say it was painted by ignorant students who didn't realize Hitler's image would offend anyone.
The huge banner said "Congratulations." It was hung outside the art school of Chulalongkorn University for this year's graduating class.
Art school Dean Suppakorn Disatapundhu said Monday that freshman students had painted the banner. He called their mistake "the result of pure ignorance."
In a statement, the dean issued a "sincere apology" from the university.
The banner was up for two days and taken down Saturday in response to criticism.
Online photographs showed graduating students in their robes, mimicking the image of Hitler with one arm raised in the Nazi salute.
