MASSAPEQUA PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The first find was startling: a woman’s skeletal remains cast into the dunes along a remote Long Island highway. Then came the shock. Days after that discovery in December 2010, police discovered parts of three more women nearby on a spit of sand known as Gilgo Beach. The remains of seven other people were found along several miles of the same parkway during the next few months. An 11th person, whose disappearance had spurred the initial search, was found dead by the highway in December 2011.What became known as the Gilgo Beach murders — the victims mostly young women who had been sex workers — flummoxed investigators for over a dozen years. The case endured through five police commissioners, more than 1,000 tips, countless theories and supposed conspiracies. Then a fresh review last year tied an old clue, about a pickup truck linked to a victim’s disappearance, to a new name: Rex A. Heuermann.Energized by the truck tidbit, investigators charted the call...BRITISH OPEN ’23: Facts and figures for the 151st Open

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Samuel H. Edwards will have to pay a $2,500 fine for "packrafting" — and he can't set foot in a national park for two years, either.On Thursday, the National Park Service (NPS) announced Edwards' sentence after he was caught for the second time leading an illegal packrafting expedition through the Grand Canyon.Packrafting, an activity that combines hiking and personal rafting, is prohibited at Grand Canyon National Park unless visitors obtain specific permits for their trips, NPS said. Rafting the Grand Canyon is heavily regulated, and permits are used to control access and preserve the quality of the experience. Edwards did not have a permit, and was in a restricted area."Packrafting, or River Assisted Backcountry Travel (RABT), differs from traditional river rafting in that it is utilizing the river for short distances in order to access another route or trail," NPS said. "Hikers typically will have a backcountry permit and use the river to connect portions of t...Tesla builds its first Cybertruck four years after unveiling prototype

New York (CNN) — Tesla finally built its first Cybertruck, the company tweeted Saturday, two years behind schedule.The electric car company tweeted an image of workers in hard hats surrounding the sleek Cybertruck, which it said was built at its Gigafactory near Austin, Texas.Tesla revealed the prototype for the futuristic Cybertruck in 2019, saying production would begin in late 2021. The striking prototype looked like a large metal trapezoid on wheels, its exteriors made from a stainless steel alloy. However, a demonstration of the truck’s supposedly unbreakable windows in 2019 backfired when a metal ball thrown at the windows did, in fact, break them.Tesla remained mostly silent about plans for the highly anticipated vehicle, but in 2021 announced an updated version was coming. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company couldn’t yet debut long-promised new vehicles, such as the Cybertruck pickup, due to supply chain issues.However, in January Tes...Looking Glass: Don’t you know that stealing is no big deal, ma’am?

After a shoplifter stole items from a Dollar General in Fresno, Calif., and fled with the goods on a bicycle, an employee chased him down with her car and swerved into him on a driveway, knocking him off the bike and scattering the stuff he had stolen. They then got into a shouting match in which he is heard telling her that the situation is “not that serious,” and that other people also steal from stores. She retrieved about half of the stolen goods.THIS ONE WON’T BE TOO HARD TO SOLVE: A woman stole a 5-week-old baby monkey named Pepe out of the cage he shared with its brother, Juan, in a Homestead, Fla., pet shop.
