Bay State slaying suspect tied to vampire-like act in Maine

Convicted in a 2000 Augusta case in which he licked a girl's blood, he now faces a triple murder charge.
By Betty Adams

One of three men who face triple-murder charges in Massachusetts was convicted a decade ago in a Maine case that included blood-letting and overtones of vampirism.

Caius Domitius Veiovis appears at his arraignment Monday in Berkshire District Court in Pittsfield, Mass. In 2000, he was convicted in a Maine case that involved cutting a 16-year-old girl's back open.

Back then he was Roy Gutfinski Jr. of Augusta. Today, after a legal name change in July 2008 while he was a Maine State Prison inmate, his name is Caius Domitius Veiovis.
Veiovis, 31, pleaded not guilty in Pittsfield, Mass., on Monday to three counts each of murder, kidnapping and intimidation of witnesses, according to a court clerk. He is being held without bail and is to return to court Oct. 12.

James Reardon Jr., the court-appointed attorney for Veiovis, was unavailable Tuesday. In news accounts published in Massachusetts, Reardon said he had received little information about the slayings or Veiovis' alleged participation.

Veiovis and two other men – Adam Lee Hall, 34, allegedly a sergeant-at-arms of the local Hells Angels chapter, and David Chalue, 44 – are charged with killing David Glasser, Edward Frampton and Robert Chadwell on or about Aug. 28.
Berkshire County District Attorney David Capeless' office issued a statement this week announcing that investigators had found the remains of three men who had been missing for two weeks, and had charged three suspects. He said officials are still investigating the association among all of the men.

The penalty in Massachusetts for first-degree murder is life in prison without parole.
Veiovis served almost 7½ years of a 10-year sentence in Maine on convictions in 2000 for elevated aggravated assault, aggravated assault and reckless conduct.
He was 19 and still known as Gutfinski when he and his girlfriend sliced open the back of a 16-year-old girl, then licked the blood while they kissed.

The cutting was done by Gutfinski's girlfriend, who was 16, police said. The razor cut along the victim's back required 32 stitches to close, according to court documents.
At Gutfinski's trial in 2000, prosecutor Alan Kelley portrayed him as part of a subculture of people who wore dark clothes and practiced self-mutilation and some blood-licking or blood-drinking.

"Roy Gutfinski Jr. perceived himself (as) and claimed to be a Satanic worshipper, claimed to police he was a vampire and drank blood, his own as well as other persons', as often as possible," Kelley said in the courtroom.

Kelley and witnesses described Gutfinski's apartment on Water Street as dark and dungeonlike with darkened windows, bones scattered about, pictures of bodies on the walls and razor blades throughout the apartment.

When police searched the apartment, they found a library book on human anatomy under a fish tank that held a snake, and an ax near a wooden chair.
Kelley said the cutting victim met Gutfinski and his girlfriend downtown two days before the incident. Neither Gutfinski's girlfriend nor the victim wanted Gutfinski prosecuted, and he did not testify in his own defense.
After his conviction, and before his sentencing, Gutfinski took a razor to his own arms while in jail. It took 200 stitches to close the wounds.
Court records show he has had a series of mental evaluations over the years.
For the cutting incident, Gutfinski was sentenced on July 3, 2000, to 10 years in prison with all but three years suspended, and four years of probation.
He served the initial term, then returned to prison several times for violating probation. Some of those incidents involved charges of criminal conduct in New Bedford, Mass.
Gutfinski was released on probation from the Maine State Prison on April 27, 2010, and discharged from probation on July 8, 2010, said Jody Breton, associate commissioner of the Maine Department of Corrections.

Gutfinski had a series of hornlike objects implanted in his forehead. Now they are visible as bumps, three on each side. He also has had a series of tattoos, some reaching to his face, and a roughly drawn 666 in the middle of his forehead.
Gutfinski tried – and failed – in 2003 to get a Kennebec County Probate Court judge to approve his name change to "Diszade Trash Horror."
In that petition, Gutfinski described himself as a religious Satanist.

"I wish to shed all ties with the Christian church, and one important step toward that goal is legally changing my name," he wrote.
In his successful name-change petition in Knox County, Gutfinski wrote, "Adopted as a child, (I) have no blood relation with, nor do I share the nationality my given name implies. It has long been a burden for me and I feel the new name I have carefully and with much thought, chosen more justly represents my individuality and nationality. This name is also in keeping with my religious beliefs."

1950 FBI memo confirms flying saucers crashing in New Mexico.

For years people have wondered, talked about, made movies about, created successful businesses locally and internationally, sold goods and accessories, all around the Roswell incident involving UFOs that crashed. Files have now appeared on the FBI's "vault" website that was once devoted to classified documents have now become public.
The memo is brief but it's from an Air Force informant about "flying saucers". The memo has FBI agent Guy Hottel saying what an "investigator for the Air Forces" told him about what is called "the Roswell incident", Hottel says:

Three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico . . . they were described as being circular in shape with raised centres, approximately 50 feet in diameter . . . Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall, dressed in a metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed flyers and test pilots.

The informant speculates that the saucers were found in New Mexico because the US government had a "high powered radar set up" there and "it is believed that the radar interferes with the controlling mechanism of the saucers". Well, I believe if this was the case, I'm sure the aliens would've quoted Neo from the Matrix Reloaded and said "Hmm, upgrades" and upgraded the tech on their ships.

The memo pretty much covers what most people thought about the Roswell incident, that flying saucers crashed and there were alien autopsies. Whether this document is real is another thing - but whatever it is, we'd never find the truth out anyway. Short of a ship landing in a public place and everyone running out with camera phones and Facebook status updates, we're pretty much left in the dark by our "more than capable and truth-telling" world governments.

Lake Vostok, Antartica: Russian scientists have been radio silent for 5 days

First off, some back story. This will end up as a mini-editorial, but some of you will find this very interesting. Lake Vostok is a large (10,000km2), presumably fresh water body located under some 4km of ice in East Antarctica. The lake is not some little pool of water, its a gigantic, 250km long and 50km wide.


Because the lake is under kilometres of frozen ice, it has been untouched by todays technology and hence, the hands of man. The contents of this secret under-the-ice lake, have not seen the light of day for more than 20 million years. Because of this long period of pure isolation, it is believed that the water inside Lake Vostok could contain new, never-before-seen lifeforms, and unique geochemical processes.

For the past five-plus years, Russia and the United States have been seeking to probe Vostok in order to discover its underlying secrets from this pure, pristine body of water. The problem associated with such an untouched body of water is that as soon as it is discovered, tested and exposed, we would have contaminated it in multiple ways. Because of its long period of isolation, it cannot be explored without the introduction of the outside world, i.e. us.

Russian scientists seeking Lake Vostok lost in frozen ‘Land of the Lost’?

A group of Russian scientists plumbing the frozen Antarctic in search of a lake buried in ice for tens of millions of years have failed to respond to increasingly anxious U.S. colleagues — and as the days creep by, the fate of the team remains unknown.“No word from the ice for 5 days,” Dr. John Priscu professor of Ecology at Montana State University, told FoxNews.com via email.

The team from Russia’s Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) have been drilling for weeks in an effort to reach isolated Lake Vostok, a vast, dark body of water hidden 13,000 ft. below the ice sheet’s surface. The lake hasn’t been exposed to air in more than 20 million years.

Priscu said there was no way to get in touch with the team — and the already cold weather is set to plunge, as Antarctica’s summer season ends and winter sets in.“Temps are dropping below -40 Celsius [-40 degrees Fahrenheit] and they have only a week or so left before they have to winterize the station,” he said. “I can only imagine what things must be like at Vostok Station this week.”

The team’s disappearance could not come at a worse time: They are about 40 feet from their goal of reaching the body of water, Priscu explained, a goal that the team was unable to meet as they raced the coming winter exactly one year ago.When the winter arrives in the next few weeks, the temperature can get twice as freezing. Vostok Station boasts the lowest recorded temperature on Earth: -89.4 degrees Celsius (-129 degrees Fahrenheit).

If the team does reach the lake water, they will bring its water up through the hole and let it freeze there over the winter. The following year they will be able to start research on what they find, Priscu explained.While there are only a few researchers actually working at the lake, scientists around the globe have been waiting with baited breath to see what the Russian’s unearth this weekend.“We are terribly interested in what they find,” Alan Rodger, a scientist at the British Antarctic Survey, told FoxNews.com last year. “This is a lake that we don’t think has been exposed for 15 million years. Therefore, if there is life there, we’re going to have so many questions. How has it evolved over those years, how has it survived, what does it look like? Won’t it be exciting to find something completely new on Planet Earth?”

The Lake Vostok project has been years in the making, with initial drilling at the massive lake — 15,690 square kilometers (6,060 sq mi) — starting in 1998. Initially, they were able to reach 3,600 meters, but had to stop due to concerns of possible contamination of the never-before-touched lake water.“Ice isn’t like rock, it’s capable of movement,” Dr. Priscu told FoxNews.com. “So in order to keep the hole from squeezing shut, they put a fluid in the drill called kerosene. Kerosene also grows bacteria, and there’s about 65 tons of kerosene in that hole. It would be a disaster if that kerosene contaminated this pristine lake.”But the scientists came up with a clever way to make sure this debacle would not occur. They agreed to drill until a sensor warned them of free water. At that point they will take out the right amount of kerosene and adjust the pressure so that none of the liquids fall into the lake, but rather lake water would rise through the hole.Priscu was concerned for his colleagues, but also admits the stunning scope of the story. “It could be fodder for a great made-for-TV movie,” he said.

Fears held for Russian scientists exploring "alien" Antarctic lake, Vostok

Russian scientists preparing to explore the "most alien lake on Earth," Lake Vostok, have reportedly not been in touch with American colleagues in over five days.
Vostok, buried over two miles — or 13,000 feet — beneath the great Antarctic ice sheet, is one of the world's largest lakes. However, it hasn't been exposed to air in more than 20 million years, Fox News reported.
The team from Russia's Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) have been drilling for weeks to reach the isolated, subglacial water, part of a network of more than 200 subglacial lakes in Antarctica, according to the Washington Post.
Some of the lakes existed in warmer times, when the continent was connected to Australia.
According to the website io9.com:
Vostok is thought to harbor conditions similar to those of Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus, and the discovery of life in the lake's inky depths would significantly strengthen the prospect of discovering life on either of these icy bodies.
However, the lake is "characterized by extremes, as geothermal heat from the Earth's interior warms the lake's bottom keeping it in a liquid state.
Thousands of yards of crushing ice also insulate Vostok from the coldest surface temperatures on Earth, "while infusing it with oxygen at concentrations fifty times higher than is typical of freshwater lakes on the planet's surface," the website said.
However, because there is no light, any nutrients can only exist in small quantities.
Still, the scientists were "enormously excited about what life-forms might be found there," the Washington Post reported.
Their main concern was contaminating the lake with drilling fluids and bacteria, "and the potentially explosive 'de-gassing' of a body of water that has especially high concentrations of oxygen and nitrogen."
Meanwhile, Dr. John Priscu, professor of Ecology at Montana State University, told FoxNews.com via email that he had no way to contact the team and the already cold weather was set to plunge, as Antarctica's summer season was ending.
"Temps are dropping below [minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit] and they have only a week or so left before they have to winterize the station," he told Fox. "I can only imagine what things must be like at Vostok Station this week."
