  Speaker 1: Crime Alert. I'm John Lemley. We begin this hour with
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: a compelling development out of Hurricane Idaho, where authorities have
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: taken the rare step of reopening a cold case that
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: has puzzled investigators for more than half a century. Police
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: with the Washington County Sheriff's Office say they are preparing
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to exhume human remains buried in a local cemetery, remains
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: belonging to an unidentified woman discovered in nineteen seventy and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: long known only as Jane Doe. At the time of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: her discovery, the woman's cause of death was ruled undetermined,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and she was laid to rest with a simple marker
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: identifying her as an unknown. The case was investigated sporadically
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: over the years, including a twenty fourteen attempt to recover
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: her DNA, but that effort ultimately failed when no remains
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: were found during excavation. Now, detectives have petitioned a judge
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: for a new you warrant and are moving forward with
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: plans to exhume the burial side again, this time with
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: modern forensic science on their side. Advances in DNA technology
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and access to national missing person databases give investigators renewed
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: hope that Jane Doe can finally be identified. Records indicate
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that prior excavation efforts may not have gone deep enough
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to reach the actual burial site, leading authorities to believe
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the remains may still be intact beneath the surface. With
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: assistance from the National Cold Case Coalition, law enforcement hopes
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to collect viable DNA samples that could provide closure for
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: surviving relatives whose loved ones disappeared decades ago. The Sheriff's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: office says the exhumation will take place in the coming weeks,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: marking a significant moment in one of the longest running
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: cold cases in Utah's history.

  Speaker 1: left two students dead and nine others wounded in December.

• 2:45
  Speaker 1: previously as Claudio Nevis Vilenti, a former graduate student at
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the university, is also believed to have fatally shot an
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: MIT professor Nuno Lereo days after the campus attack. Vilenti
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was later found dead in a storage facility in New Hampshire.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Providence City officials say portions of the recordings were withheld
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to avoid showing more graphic content, but the material release
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: sheds light on the chaotic police response, including moments when
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: officers mistook a maintenance worker for a potential suspect. Providence
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Mayor Brett Smiley noted the difficult balance between transparency and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: protecting those affected by the tragedy, which occurred during a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: final exam period on campus. Authorities continue to urge anyone
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: with additional video or information from the day of the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: incident to come forward. Turning now to Georgia, jury selection
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: has begun in the high profile trial of Colin Gray,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the father of Colt Gray, the teenager accused of carrying
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: out a deadly school shooting at Appalachi High School in
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: September twenty twenty four, Gray faces twenty nine charges in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: including second degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and multiple counts of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: cruelty to children. Prosecutors allege he knowingly provided his son
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: access to the firearm used in the attack, despite being
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: aware of his mental health struggles and fascination with other
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: school shootings. The shooting in Barrow County left two students
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and two teachers dead and injured nine others. Authorities say
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Colin Gray, then fourteen, meticulously planned the attack, bringing an
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: assault style rifle into the school and opening fire. Gray
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: remains in custody on a five hundred thousand dollars bond
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and is expected to stand trial over several weeks. The
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: case is part of a broader national trend of prosecutors
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: holding adults accountable for enabling access to deadly weapons used
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in mass shootings. Finally, in Washington, d C, newly released
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: federal records are find the government's investigation into the late
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: financier Jeffrey Epstein. According to Internal Justice Department documents, the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: FBI found no credible evidence that Epstein maintained a quote
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: client list or operated a sex trafficking ring involving powerful
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: or prominent men. Investigators say reviews of financial records, seize materials,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and witness interviews did not support claims of an organized
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: trafficking operation. The files reaffirmed that Epstein committed serious federal
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: sex crimes, but prosecutors concluded there was insufficient admissible evidence
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to charge other individuals. Allegations of third party involvement could
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: not be independently cooperated. The documents also state investigators never
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: recovered a secret client list during searches conducted before or
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: after Epstein's twenty nineteen death in federal custody.
