  A Louisiana woman is fighting to reclaim the title to a property that’s been in her family for centuries. The victim, DaNita Batiste, is battling to reestablish a clear title on the property, months after fraudsters impersonated her using a phony ID and sold the land for cash to unsuspecting investors.

Buriticupu, a town of roughly 55,000 people located in the Brazilian Amazon, risks being swallowed by giant ravines that have been growing “exponentially” over the last few months. Authorities in Buriticupu have already evacuated 1,200 people from the highest-risk areas of the town, but with no solution in sight, the giant ravines threaten to eventually swallow the entire settlement.
