Prosecutors initially secured an indictment in 2006 based on the suspect's DNA profile, according to court records. In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for rape cases is generally 15 years.

The constant seismic rumblings were spotted by the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN), where seismometers on Mount Rainier recorded three straight days of nearly nonstop, high-energy seismic signals across the west flank of the volcano. Unlike the seismic activity tied to major earthquakes, the patterns being seen in Washington look more like a volcanic tremor, a type of nonstop hum or roar that begins when magma, hot water, and gas moves around inside a volcano.

If the team had asked, Hetman said, she would have told the Angels he became addicted to Percocet after the 2013 season.

The move will raise prices approximately 6.6% for Priority Mail, 5.1% for Priority Mail Express, 7.8% for USPS Ground Advantage, and 6% for Parcel Select.

These travelers are expected to head at least 50 miles away from home between Tuesday, Nov. 25, and Monday, Dec. 1. "Thanksgiving travel numbers are always impressive because this holiday has become synonymous with heading out of town to spend time with loved ones,"
When sophomore guard Phoenix Smith came off the bench on Monday night in Crespi's season opener against Cleveland, two things were clear: His big hair and his 5-foot-7 frame, the smallest on the court. He played junior varsity last season, and let's just say Celts coach Derek Fisher is going to have fun working with him. Smith was three for three on three-pointers and finished with 16 points in Crespi's 81-44 win over Cleveland.
OJ Simpson's estate has accepted a $58m claim from the father of Ron Goldman, decades after a jury said the NFL star and actor was liable for the man's fatal stabbing. However, the amount far exceeds the Simpson estate's assets, and Goldman's father, Fred, is unlikely to receive anywhere near the full amount. It won't be $58m plus interest, but it will be a voluntary payment.
In a memorandum opinion released Tuesday, Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., said the FTC failed to prove its argument. The case, initially filed by the FTC five years ago, centered on Meta's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. "Whether or not Meta enjoyed monopoly power in the past, though, the agency must show that it continues to hold such power now," Boasberg said in the filing. "The Court's verdict today determines that the FTC has not done so."

On the way back to her car, as she reached for her keys, she realized her purse was missing. She started to panic. Her purse held her ID, credit cards, medications and hundreds of dollars in cash.

WINCHESTER, Va. It's 6 a.m. and still dark outside. But Adrienne Rumley's two-bedroom apartment is alive with kinetic energy. A 4-month-old kitten darts around. A big dog patters back and forth. Another cat stealthily watches the morning unfold from behind a chair. A 2-year-old child is sleepily sucking on a pacifier and watching TV. The scene may seem chaotic. But 37-year-old Rumley's morning routine is running in clockwork precision.
jackhammers still echo along the barrier island's main road, where new houses and businesses are going up next to vacant lots and the shells of buildings gutted by the storm. "We are nowhere near where we thought we would be three years ago today," says Jacki Liszak, chief executive of the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce, who owned a small hotel that the hurricane washed away. "I don't think we understood what happened to us the extent of it."
These relatively steady rate movements seem to be in line with market expectations following the Federal Reserve's 25-bps cut to benchmark rates late last month. The cut was widely anticipated and baked into the rates offered by most mortgage lenders well in advance. We've seen this rhythm before: rates fall in anticipation of a Fed cut, rise slightly following the announcement due to cautious messaging, and then stabilize or trend down again as economic data unfolds, said Samir Dedhia, CEO of One Real Mortgage.

Audricus Phagnasay, Jason Salazar, and Alexander Paul Travis (the latter being the US Army soldier) each pled guilty to one wire fraud conspiracy for providing their identities to North Koreans between 2019 and 2022 so the Norks could fraudulently get work at US companies. All three provided space in their homes for laptops issued by the companies they supposedly worked for and installed remote access software that allowed their North Korean comrades to appear to be working from the US, the DoJ said.
