Marcano’s body, which was found in a wooded area in Central Florida more than a week later, was identified after a few days due to the condition of the body. An autopsy report has yet been released.
Marcano’s family is claiming the apartment complex’s management was negligent. The suspect in her death is a maintenance worker at the complex identified as Armando Caballero, who has a master key that he allegedly used to access Marcano’s first-floor apartment before she disappeared.
Caballero, who is 27-years old, was questioned after Marcano went missing but wasn’t detained due to lack of evidence. When a warrant of arrest has been obtained, he was found dead of an apparent suicide three days after Marcano disappeared.
Marcano’s family is planning to seek legal action against the apartment complex.
“We believe the complex’s management was negligent,” Marcano’s family attorney Daryl Washington said, according to NBC Miami. “Did they actually do a background check? What type of background check did they do? And if you did do a background check, is that the type of individual that you would want to give a key fob to be able to get into anyone’s apartment whenever he wants?”
Moreover, they also plan to start a foundation in Marcano’s name and hope to amend laws regarding maintenance workers entering apartment units.

Facebook's making a couple of changes to business Pages, which will impact both presentation and data tracking elements.
First off, as first reported by Marketing Land, Facebook has announced that it's removing all of its gray verified badges, designed to display Page authenticity, as of October 30th.
Facebook's gray verification badges - not the blue ones - are available to all Pages which have verified their official details with Facebook by going through an identification process.
Here's Facebook's official explanation of the difference between gray and blue badge verification:
Facebook verified badge explanation
Blue badges will still be present, but as of next month, the gray badges will be gone.
Why is Facebook making this change?
Facebook says that it's decided to get rid of the gray tick based on feedback from users who were unclear on what it actually represented.
Twitter has faced similar confusion with its verification tick, and you can see how, with Facebook having two different versions available, it could be confusing for some people to understand the difference between an official, blue tick verified Page, and a Page that's gone through the more basic ID process for a gray one.
It's also possible for Pages to impersonate official company profiles through this method. Because the gray tick process isn't as stringent, someone could start a duplicate company page, apply for a tick, and present it as the official channel of that business.
Basically, it's unclear, and it's lead to some confusion, so Facebook's seeking to correct it.
Pages with gray badges will soon see notifications like this at the top of their Page display:
As noted in the above warning, Facebook suggests that business Pages which want to prove their authenticity after October 30th should ensure that their Page profile is complete, including up-to-date information, a profile picture and correct contact information.
In addition to this, Facebook's also making a change to the way in which it calculates organic Page impressions, which could see a reduction in perceived Page and post reach.

]]>Cameron James Pettit
Cameron James Pettit, 28, allegedly supplied Mac Miller with counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl two days before he was found dead. Authorities say Miller had asked Pettit to furnish him with 'percs', an abbreviation for percocet, which is a powerful prescription painkiller containing oxycodone.
Investigators believe Miller died shortly after snorting the counterfeit drug which had been supplied by Pettit. Pettit has now been charged with a federal count of distribution of a controlled substance, according to the DEA. He could face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty of the offense. According to court records, Pettit has two prior arrests to his name in his hometown of Placer County, California, dating back to 2010
