Community grieves loss of West Little Rock homicide victim

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - A Little Rock woman was found severely injured inside her West Little Rock home and later died in the hospital. The next day, Little Rock police declared the case was a homicide. Since then, very few updates have been given, causing friends and those close to the woman to grow concerned.

According to her obituary, Meg Clevenger devoted her life to serving kids with disabilities by helping them rise above their diagnoses to be the best they can be. For those who knew Clevenger, she was a talented occupational therapist, but also a fiercely loyal friend.

""So worth it. Katie saw her and ran into her arms in tears. Now that"s true friendship. Those girls have been each other"s biggest supports in the good and bad, and I couldn"t be happier. I am so thrilled you are doing good. Let me know if you want me to slap anyone for the stupid things they said to you," with exclamation marks. That"s the type of person Meg is,’” read Gina Wood, recalling the last text message she got from her friend, Meg. Their daughters, best friends, reunited for the summer after their first year of college.

"I never wanted to be in a situation like this,” she said. “This type of situation, Meg is the one I"d be calling for guidance. At night I pray, "Meg, help me help you.""

Meg’s husband, 56-year-old Tim Clevenger, told police he found his wife beaten inside their West Little Rock home around 8 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 3. The case was originally investigated as a suspicious death. But based on her injuries, it was later changed to a homicide.

"Nobody deserves to be murdered. Nobody,” said Wood.

According to a LRPD incident report, Meg"s husband was released without charges, but police are calling him a "person of interest." Tuesday, Sept. 4, police said they "do not have a comment on this case it is an open investigation."

"The police are not doing themselves justice,” Wood said. “It"s like the criminals don"t like them because the criminals know the police are after them. Then you have people like me and several of my close friends that we are starting to have hesitations because we have no direction. Am I mad at the police? No. But if there were some sort of in-between to help us understand what"s going on, that would be tremendously helpful."

Ultimately, those close to the family said they just want justice for their friend, Meg.

Logan was the most complained about film of 2017 for a stupid bloody reason

Image
Hugh Jackman"s ninth outing as Wolverine was the most complained about film of 2017 in cinemas in the UK. Logan opened to critical acclaim last year and was lauded by fans of the X-Men franchise for its ne0-noir, gritty portrayal of Wolverine and was Jackman"s last outing as the mutant we all love to love. Following the rip-roaring success of Deadpool, Fox gave the go-ahead to give the next wolverine outing an R-rating. This meant fans were finally going to get the Wolverine movie they"d always wanted. Violent and gritty, Logan was a valuable addition to the Marvel franchise, throwing around blood with almost as much reckless abandon as the word f*ck. It was perhaps Jackman"s best stint as Wolverine and thankfully helped to wash away some of the absolute horror that was X Men Origins: Wolverine (yeah, remember that absolute disaster?). Logan was the Wolverine film we"d all been waiting for ; as Old Man Logan, Jackman finally got to play Wolverine the way we wan...

"Johnny English Strikes Again" for more family-friendly fun

When spy movies were a big thing back in the 1960s, occasionally someone would try to spoof the genre. This almost never worked, except for the TV series “Get Smart,” which had Mel Brooks as its guiding force. Maybe the spy satire needs time, because it wasn’t until the “Austin Powers” series, and two “OSS 117” films (starring “The Artist” Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin), that the 1960s spy movie got its proper send-up. Right in the midst of all that was Johnny English, the British secret agent played by Rowan Atkinson. In “Johnny English” (2003) and “Johnny English Reborn” (2011), Atkinson played a hapless Bond-wannabe who tried to stay relevant during the British Empire’s decline, but could barely stay out of his own way. Those movies were built around Atkinson (still best known as the accident-prone Mr. Bean), whose willingness to fall out of windows and slide down staircases while clad in a suit of armo...

Wedding guest stunned by groom"s rude reaction to gift

Image
Gift registries are one of the most divisive features of modern weddings, but they at least guarantee the marrying couple will be happy with what they receive. Or so one would assume, anyway. One disgruntled guest has shared the "cheeky" (read: rude) reaction a groom had to her wedding gift, and it"s truly jaw-dropping stuff. Writing on Mumsnet , the anonymous guest said she and her husband had ordered a $AUD125 gift from the Amazon wish list featured on the bride and groom"s wedding website, so were confident it would be received favourably. Arriving at the reception, however, it was apparent nobody else had brought physical presents. WATCH: The only gift Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want from their wedding guests. (Post continues.) "People kept saying "We just got them vouchers/money"," the woman recalls, adding that even the groom said he wasn"t expecting gifts. At the end of the night, theirs was still the only gift sitting by the card...
