Certified crazy man David Tarloff was arrested yesterday for the UES psychologist cleaver murder. According to the Post, the doctor he killed was not even his target. He planned to rob another doctor, then escape to Hawaii with his 73-year-old mother Beatrice, for whom he was toting a suitcase full of women's clothes and adult diapers. The Post offers the disappointingly straightforward headline: "Madman Nabbed; Crazy Patient 'Revenge' In Shrink Slay." That Saturday night headline-writing shift really needs more coffee. Can YOU do better? Alternative headlines in the comments, please.

Day two of the UES internet-specializing psychotherapist hack attack story dawns with new surveillance video and the Post headlines "BUTCHER OF 79TH ST." and "CHILLING IMAGES AS MAD HACKER SLIPS IN FOR DEATH RAMPAGE." Our reader-submitted ones were better (headline above by commenter Gayyker). But the video of the psycho killer coming into the doctor's building with a big bag full of murder implements is pretty chilling. Watch it below.

Dr. Kathryn Faughey, a psychotherapist, was slashed, stabbed, and hacked to death by "a psycho" wielding a meat cleaver and another knife in her UES office last night. Both knives were bent by the force of the attack. Another doc who came running to her aid was also slashed, but survived. The psycho escaped through the basement and is still free in the city. One possibly significant clue that we just dug up: Dr. Faughey said on her website that "Managing relationship problems with the internet is also a major focus" of her practice. Hmmmm. Like a stumped police chief laying a case down in front of Encyclopedia Brown, we ask you: What's the headline tomorrow in the Post?

Seems that some of those humorous-from-afar fanatics are still upset about those Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that caused all that fuss two years ago; police just arrested three people for plotting to kill one of the cartoonists involved. One tragedy has been averted, but it's too late to save the greatest casualty of the cartoons: Harry Siegel's brief and undistinguished New York Press editorship. So much hassle for some mediocre drawings that are all over the Internet, anyways. Stop the violence! Full image of the notorious newspaper page after the jump

1800 rookie cops—actually, only 900 new ones, if that's really how many graduated from the Academy this year—are being sent out "to patrol high-crime pockets that have resisted the overall crime drop" in New York City. Wait, 900? "That's funny... I only counted about 650 cops at graduation," writes a poster on NYPD Rant, who has some suggestions for questions that reporters might ask of the NYPD. Anyway! The good news: The murder rate is at an astonishing low! So will it work? Or will a bunch of gun-toting youngsters who make $25,100 a year just end up, you know, bumping the murder rate back up? Time will tell! Maybe just don't make any sudden moves on the street starting tomorrow, okay?

Riddle us this: if it it's so ludicrous to believe that a mysterious black-clad stranger killed punk rock pioneer and realtor to the stars Linda Stein ("NUTTY 'NINJA' ALIBI" screams the Post) than should we conclude that personal assistant and lead suspect Natavia Lowery has also been breaking into homes on Staten Island? When is it ok to blame a ninja? We need answers! [NYP]

Good news, everyone: you are much, much more likely to be killed by someone you know than a stranger. So stop worrying! You'll be killed by a loved one, according to the Times: "so far, with roughly half the killings analyzed, only 35 were found to be committed by strangers." [NYT]

Congratulations to St. Louis, Missouri for falling to second place in the annual Most Dangerous Cities in America list! Thanks to a strong showing from perennial contender and this year's most dangerous city Detroit, the Gateway City will surely enjoy a year-long renaissance and maybe slightly fewer of its citizens will abandon it. Camden, New Jersey—first place winner in 2004 and 2005—held on to fifth place and New York is ranked a pathetic 130-something. The annual list, compiled from FBI crime statistics, helps reinforce the cycle of poverty, white flight, and neglect that is killing post-industrial America while the rich create unsustainable fantasy worlds on the coasts. And it provides a nice way for a news anchor to fill up 45 seconds.

Natavia Lowery, slain broker Linda Stein's personal assistant, has been arrested for Stein's murder after "implicating herself." Lowery, a former member of the Black Finesse Modeling Troupe, has previously been arrested on charges of identity theft. According to the Daily News, "Some of Lowery's relatives insisted she was innocent." Some! [NYDN]

"CBS 2 News has learned that Linda Stein, the former manager of the Ramones and 'realtor to the stars,' was found dead, lying in a pool of blood in her multi-million-dollar Fifth Ave. apartment on Manhattans' Upper East Side." [WCBS]

Like so many of you, we're still absorbing the news that an obvious nutbag with delusions of kiddie-killing grandeur may not have been ultimately reliable. However, we've received a cartoon from our good friend Jim Behrle, which sort of cushions the blow. And if you think about it, we've still got this case to kick around for another couple years at minimum. We prefer to see the glass as half-full of the blood of an innocent child whose shocking rape/murder raised issues of class, privilege, and exploitation that America briefly considered and then forgot about because, you know, there was a new "X Files" on. Anyway, here's the cartoon:
