Loan officer gets 77 months in Fairfax mortgage fraud conspiracy
A Fairfax County loan officer who helped defraud banks out of more than $2.5 million in a mortgage fraud conspiracy, then tried to flee the country after her guilty plea, was sentenced Friday to 77 months in federal prison. Lourdes Rojas Almanza, 28, of Falls Church, was part of a ring of investors, real estate agents and loan officers who lined up more than 30 fraudulent house purchases in Northern Virginia for buyers who couldn't afford the houses. Banks and lenders suffered losses of more than $9 million, police and federal authorities said. Almanza was ordered to make $9 million in restitution.

Fairfax rapist sentenced to 32 years in prison
A man who pleaded guilty to breaking into a home in the Tysons Corner area and raping a woman in 1987 has been sentenced to 32 years in prison by a Fairfax County judge. The victim told police she was attacked by a man who wore a mask and gloves. Last year, Fairfax cold case sex crimes detectives revisited the May 1987 incident, on Lisle Avenue in the Pimmit Hills neighborhood and resubmitted DNA to a national database. The DNA matched a man then living in Pennsylvania, and in November, police arrested John Q. Kinsey, 49, on charges of rape and burglary with intent to rape.

Fairfax cabbie killer sentenced to 15 years
The man who shot a Fairfax County cabdriver to death, after he couldn't pay his $130 fare, was sentenced Friday in Fairfax Circuit Court to 15 years in prison. The man claimed that cabbie Mazhar Nazir, 49, who lived with his wife and 12-year-old son in the Baileys Crossroads area, came over the front seat at him after he revealed he had no cash for the ride from the District to Reston and then to Tysons Corner. Evidence at trial showed Nazir was still wearing his seat belt and had been shot in the back of the head on Nov. 2, 2008.

Not enough evidence for murder charge in Wone case, prosecutor says
District prosecutors have spent weeks building a case that three friends and housemates conspired to cover up evidence in the 2006 slaying of a young attorney. On Tuesday, they said the younger brother of one of those men “may have been” the killer. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Glenn Kirschner also said that the government doesn’t have enough evidence to charge the brother — or anyone else — with the fatal stabbing of Robert Wone.
