Update

CARRINGTON, ND (Valley News Live) – Officials confirm more human remains were recovered from a worksite in Carrington, Wednesday, July 24.

KVLY News reports, law enforcement was called to the site after crews came across human bones. Officials are unable to say if they were from the same set of remains found on July 16.

On July 16, officials were called to 4th Street S. in Carrington after a plumbing company was laying water and sewer lines and they came across bones. One of the crew members says they were unsure they were human remains until they saw a skull appear.

The remains from both incidents have been collected and sent off for analysis.

The Bureau of Criminal Investigation previously reported that they believe the remains are from an old grave.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — The 18-year-old mother of an infant who died at a Willison hotel in late April is now facing a murder charge.

Hannah McMillin was originally charged with felony child abuse in the death of her 1-month-old son. KEYZ reports McMillin was arrested along with her husband, Tank McMillin, after police were called to the Sheraton Hotel for a report of an unresponsive infant. The baby was pronounced dead a short time later.

Both were charged with child abuse and have been held on $1 million bond. An affidavit of probable cause says the mother told investigators she had put her child on the bed, placed pillows around and over the upper part of his face. She is due in court Wednesday.

There’s no word on any amended charges against the father.

 

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A former special education teacher charged in the rape of a student in Oklahoma has been arrested in North Dakota.

The Tulsa World reports that 43-year-old Daniel Albert Cline Bodine was arrested Tuesday in Dickinson, North Dakota.

Prosecutors say Bodine repeatedly had sex with one of his students at Oologah High School between November 2018 and May 2019. A probable cause affidavit says the student was 18 when the alleged abuse began.

Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton says the girl’s mother notified authorities after finding explicit messages on her daughter’s phone.

Oologah-Talala Public Schools Superintendent Max Tanner said in a statement that Bodine resigned in May.

Bodine remains in a North Dakota jail on a $100,000 bond. Walton says extradition to Rogers County could take 10 days.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum’s signature project that commits public money for a Theodore Roosevelt presidential library in the western part of the state won’t be challenged at the polls.

Dickinson electrician Riley Kuntz headed an effort seeking to overturn the Legislature’s approval of $50 million to operate and maintain the library in Medora. But the nearly 13,500 signatures needed to place a referendum on the June 2020 primary ballot to repeal the state funding won’t be gathered by the Thursday midnight deadline, he said.

“It is not going to happen,” Kuntz told The Associated Press Wednesday.

Kuntz also submitted a referral petition last month to overturn a new law exempting lawmakers’ communications with public employees, which he and media representatives have widely criticized as an erosion of transparency and contrary to the state’s open records laws. Kuntz missed the deadline Tuesday to get that proposal on the ballot.

The Legislature in March had passed the bill with strong bipartisan support that keeps secret private correspondence between the Legislature and public employees, even from state-owned computers.

Signatures to get a third referral on the ballot to stop new restrictions on the state auditor are due on July 31. Kuntz said “it’s unlikely” enough signatures will be gathered by the deadline.

In world and national news..

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former special counsel Robert Mueller says election interference by Russia in 2016 was not an isolated attempt.

He told a congressional committee: “They’re doing it as we sit here.”

Mueller is testifying Wednesday before the House intelligence committee on his 448-page report on Russian interference.

Mueller had made clear in his report that he could not exonerate President Donald Trump on obstruction of justice in the probe.

The report also said investigators didn’t find sufficient evidence to establish charges of criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia.

 

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Associated Press analysis of prescription opioid data shows enough drugs were shipped in 2012 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. to have nearly a 20-day supply even as a national overdose and addiction crisis deepened.

The AP crunched federal Drug Enforcement Administration numbers made public this month on the distribution of opioids from 2006 through 2012.

The data is at the heart of a series of lawsuits filed by governments trying to hold the drug industry responsible for the opioid crisis. Drugmakers and distributors deny the charges.

By accounting the potency of drugs, the AP found that the total amount of opioids distributed per year over that period increased by 55%.

 

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facebook is doing just fine on Wall Street, despite being slapped with a record $5 billion fine for its mishandling of personal information.

The company’s stock had slipped by less than 1% to $201.51 in Wednesday’s midday trading, a few hours after the Federal Trade Commission announced the settlement. The FTC investigation was triggered by revelations that the data mining firm Cambridge Analytica had harvested information on as many as 87 million Facebook users.

Investors are taking the news in stride because the settlement won’t change Facebook’s lucrative ad system, which is expected to bring in most of the company’s projected $69 billion in revenue this year. Facebook is due to release quarterly results later Wednesday.

Facebook’s market value is now hovering around $575 billion. That’s roughly $40 billion higher than when news of the Cambridge scandal broke 16 months ago, making the FTC fine much easier to swallow.

 

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge says the Trump administration can enforce its new restrictions on asylum for people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border while lawsuits challenging the policy play out.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly in Washington has refused to grant a temporary restraining order. Another hearing on a similar suit is scheduled later Wednesday in California.

Kelly says the immigrant advocacy groups that sued didn’t prove that their work would be “irreparably harmed” if the policy went into effect.

The proposal prevents most migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S. if they passed through another country first.

It targets the tens of thousands of Central American adults and children who cross Mexico every month to try to enter the U.S. It also would affect asylum-seekers from Africa, Asia, and South America.

 

 

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Police in Somalia say a suicide bomber has walked into the office of Mogadishu’s mayor during a security meeting and detonated explosives strapped to his waist.

There is no immediate information about other casualties in Wednesday’s blast in the capital. Police Col. Mohamed Abdi confirmed the attack to The Associated Press.

It is not clear how the bomber managed to enter the mayor’s office or what officials were attending the security meeting.

The al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group often targets government offices and other high-profile targets in Mogadishu with bombings.

The Somalia-based group was chased out of Mogadishu years ago but still controls parts of the Horn of Africa nation’s south and central regions and is a frequent target of U.S. airstrikes.
