Couple steals $1.9 million in checks from mail using postal master key, feds say
A couple used a key from the U.S. Postal Service to steal over 1,000 pieces of mail — including nearly $1.9 million in checks — leading to prison sentences for each of them in Indiana, prosecutors said. A judge sentenced 45-year-old Michael Wright to 12 years in prison and 36-year-old Cortney Young to two years following their guilty pleas in a mail theft scheme, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana announced July 2. McClatchy News reached out to their attorneys for comment July 3 but did not immediately receive a response. Over the course of about a year, Wright used an illegally-obtained USPS arrow key, which acts as a master key for postal workers on their routes, to access mail boxes in Indiana, authorities said. Law enforcement started getting reports of stolen mail, so they set up surveillance and said they saw Young drive Wright to USPS collection boxes in the middle of the night. He was seen opening the boxes and rifling through the mail before getting back in the getaway car with his spoils, according to prosecutors. Authorities said they pulled the couple over after one of these instances and found an arrow key in the vehicle and the stolen mail on the floorboard. Investigators searched the couple's apartment in Princeton and reported finding hundreds of stolen checks totaling $1,857,461. Some were addressed to the Internal Revenue Service, authorities said. During the search, law enforcement discovered evidence of other offenses. 'In Wright's backpack, investigators found 30 debit and credit cards bearing the names of other individuals, as well as a piece of notebook paper that had the names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers for three other individuals written on it,' prosecutors said. Law enforcement also found the couple each had a gun, while neither of them was allowed to have firearms because of their prior criminal convictions. The firearm on Wright's side of the bed was a ghost gun with no serial number, partially made with a 3D printer, prosecutors said. Young's defense attorney asked for a lighter sentencing for the mom of five, saying she struggled with substance abuse and was coerced into participating in the scheme by Wright. Wright pleaded guilty to mail theft, unlawful possession of a mail key, access device fraud, aggravated identity theft, possession of ammunition by a felon and possession of a machine gun, according to prosecutors. Records show Young pleaded guilty to mail theft and possession of a firearm by a felon. Princeton is in southern Indiana, about a 30-mile drive north from Evansville.

Girl who went overboard on Disney Dream cruise 'was not being held'
Investigators are disputing rumors about a father and daughter who were rescued after going overboard on a Disney Cruise ship over the weekend. The Broward County Sheriff's Office told CBS News Miami the 'little girl was not being held, as erroneously reported on some social media sites,' following chatter about the dad placing her on the ship's railing. The sheriff's office told People, 'while here doesn't appear to be anything suspicious, Broward Sheriff's Office detectives are investigating the circumstances that led up to the child falling overboard.' USA TODAY has reached out to Broward County Sheriff's Office for the latest on the investigation. In the meantime, here's what we know. What happened The girl went overboard on Sunday, June 29, as the Disney Dream was heading back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida from The Bahamas. The father went in after her, and both were swiftly rescued by crew members. Jenn Young, a passenger on the cruise, recalled hearing an M.O.B. ('man overboard') announcement in her stateroom, seeing crew 'scurrying' on the ship and tossing orange rings into the water, and the ship turning. A rescue boat went out to rescue the passengers, who Young said were 'sitting up, moving, conscious, and trying to tell everybody that they're OK' on the way back. "We commend our Crew Members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes,' a Disney Cruise Line spokesperson told USA TODAY on Sunday. 'Brought me to tears': Disney cruise passenger details rescue of two fellow guests What's next Investigators are still piecing together what happened. It's unclear if the findings may impact anything on future sailings, but Disney Cruise Line said, 'We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols.' Cruise goers have applauded crew members' rapid response.

Disney cruise passenger details rescue of two fellow guests: 'Brought me to tears'
Jenn Young was in her Disney Cruise Line cabin with her mother when they heard an announcement about an 'M.O.B.' on Sunday. 'My mom and I looked at (each other) and were like, 'That's got to be bad' because they made an announcement in our stateroom,' Young, 42, told USA TODAY. 'And we Googled what M.O.B. meant.' When they learned it stood for 'man overboard,' the pair, who were on vacation with Young's two daughters, husband and other family members, ran out on their balcony on the Disney Dream. Young saw crew members 'scurrying' up and down the side of the ship and three orange rings being tossed into the water, and the vessel started turning. The ship sent out a rescue boat, she said, and as it returned, the Hinckley, Ohio resident, saw a child and a man onboard, pumping his arm up and down mouthing, 'We're all OK.' The father and daughter were rescued after she fell in and he jumped in after her. 'I mean, it just brought me to tears to see both of them on there, sitting up, moving, conscious, and trying to tell everybody that they're okay,' said Young. "The Crew aboard the Disney Dream swiftly rescued two guests from the water," a Disney Cruise Line spokesperson previously told USA TODAY in a statement. "We commend our Crew Members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes. We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols." The cruise line did not immediately respond to an additional request for comment on Young's experience. Cruises see a fair amount of overboards: Are ships equipped? Do cruise lines have overboard detection systems? Disney cruise ships are all equipped with overboard detection systems, which can help cut down response times by notifying crew members. At least one such system developed for vessels or other maritime structures uses thermal cameras and micro radars to detect those kinds of incidents. The Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 requires passenger vessels sailing in the U.S. to "integrate technology that can be used for capturing images of passengers or detecting passengers who have fallen overboard, to the extent that such technology is available." Brian Salerno, then senior vice president of global maritime policy for Cruise Lines International Association, told USA TODAY in 2023 that there weren't reliable products of that type available when the CVSSA was passed. In the years since, a number of companies have worked to create more dependable technology. Salerno said at the time that a number of cruise ships had installed the systems, but many operators have not disclosed that information publicly. Young, who has taken cruises before, said the incident isn't likely to deter her in the future. 'I feel like Disney did a great job,' she said. 'I feel like they have great safety precautions in place.'
