New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days in response to a spate of gun violence.
The Democratic governor said she expects legal challenges but was compelled to act because of recent shootings, including the death of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.

Law enforcement asking for help: Help identify barns and silos sketched by BTK killer!
A law enforcement team in northeast Oklahoma believes the prolific serial killer known as “BTK” may be responsible for several additional unsolved missing person and homicide cases. Now they’re hoping the public can help them identify barns and silos in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri that the self-proclaimed BTK killer Dennis Rader sketched in never-before-seen detailed drawings.
Last month, the Osage County Sheriff’s Office publicly confirmed it was investigating Rader as the “prime suspect” in a 1976 cold case in their jurisdiction and several other unsolved crimes across three states.
The investigators believe the killer may have buried 16-year-old Cynthia Dawn Kinney in a barn near the Kansas-Oklahoma border. Kinney was last seen at a laundromat in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, in 1976. Her body has never been found.

CNN obtained images of Rader’s drawings, which were first recovered by law enforcement after his arrest in 2005.
Rader pleaded guilty to 10 murders that took place from the 1970s to the 1990s in Wichita, Kansas, for which he’s serving 10 consecutive life sentences in a state prison. He suggested in a letter found long before his capture that he should be called “BTK,” short for “bind, torture, kill.”
In recent prison interviews, Rader told Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden and other local area authorities he did not commit any other murders.
An attorney for the serial killer declined to comment to CNN.

There are clips trending on TikTok and other social media platforms from the YouTube channel “8 passengers”, now defunct.

Grisly scene | FBI finds stolen human remains ‘decorated’ around Mount Washington man’s home

The FBI began investigating Nott after it was discovered he had chatted with Jeremy Pauley, a man from Pennsylvania who was also being investigated for his role in a nationwide scheme to purchase and sell stolen human remains.
Authorities said Pauley provided federal investigators with information on a network of individuals in the scheme, including Cedric Lodge, the morgue manager for the Harvard Medical School who was charged last month.
Police said a Harvard Medical bag was also found in Nott’s home.
Within the past year, authorities said, Pauley was communicating with someone named “William Burke” on Facebook about purchasing skulls and spines.
The two exchanged PayPal information and the information “Burke” had sent was linked back to a PayPal account registered to Nott.
Law enforcement officers viewed Nott’s public Facebook profile and saw him posting about human remains for sale on Facebook as recently as June 2023, according to the document.

CNN is doing some more journalism grunt work.. The man who fatally shot 10 people in a Southern California dance studio had once been a regular presence at the studio, even meeting his ex-wife there, three people who knew him told CNN.. His ex-wife said in an interview that she had met Tran about two decades ago at Star Ballroom Dance Studio, a popular community gathering place where he gave informal lessons. Tran saw her at a dance, introduced himself, and offered her free lessons, she said.
And he apparently disdained imperfection in dancing?
The two married soon after they met, according to the ex-wife, who asked not to be named due to the sensitivity of the case. While Tran was never violent to her, she said he could be quick to anger. For example, she said, if she missed a step dancing he would become upset because he felt it made him look bad. She said that after several years together, she got the impression that he had lost interest in her. Her sister, who also asked not to be named, confirmed her account.
Another dance-related fact presented from CNN after they talked to more people who knew Huu Can Tran..
A 5-minute drive from his home: Another long-time acquaintance of Tran’s also remembered him as a frequent presence at the dance studio. The friend, who also asked not to be named, was close to Tran in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s, when he said Tran would make the roughly 5-minute drive from his home in San Gabriel to Star Ballroom Dance Studio “almost every night.”
Tran often complained at the time that the instructors at the dance hall didn’t like him and said “evil things about him,” the friend remembered, adding that Tran was “hostile to a lot of people there.”
More generally, Tran was easily irritated, complained a lot, and didn’t seem to trust people, the friend said.

Clumsy move or beginnings of a potential Kohberger defense
All eyes will be on Bryan Kohbergher’s trial this coming summer.. until then legal experts are actively opining online and other forums about what move the defense will make to poke holes in what seems to be a solid prosecution theory..
MORE..
During an appearance on ITV’s This Morning, David Wilson, a Professor Emeritus of Criminology and founding Director of the Centre for Applied Criminology at Birmingham City University was asked about the knife sheath found and how the DNA found on it was linked back to Kohberger’s father. The 28-year-old Ph.D. student was arrested shortly after the DNA was found.
This Morning host, Phillip Schofield said that leaving the sheath was a “clumsy move”; however, Wilson interrupted suggesting it could have also been “a remarkably clever move.”
“Because one of the things that’s really struck me about the person that’s been arrested and accused of this is he is intelligent and high-functioning,” Wilson said. “Would a highly-skilled, intelligent student who is teaching criminology, a Ph.D. student, have made such a basic error?”
…
“I could have your DNA,” Wilson said, motioning to co-host, Holly Willoughby. “Your DNA is on me. I could go wherever I wanted to go in the next hour and your DNA would be where I go to. So the defense is clearly going to present issues that will suggest that Kohberger is innocent.”
David Wilson continues on the cell pings:
“Moscow isn’t so far away from Washington State University, so it would be natural that there would be some of those towers that might ping,” Wilson said. “There will be a defense.”

DNA HELPED SNAG KOHBERGER
News reports of how law enforcement used unique methods to catch Bryan Kohberger
“Sometime right before Christmas we were zeroing in on him being in or going to Pennsylvania,” an unnamed law enforcement source told CNN.
Authorities started trailing Kohberger during the drive east, CNN reported, and an FBI surveillance team tracked him for four days as law enforcement and prosecutors worked to obtain an arrest warrant, two sources said..

Police apparently took DNA from the scene, ran it through a public database, and then used genetic genealogy techniques to connect the DNA to Kohberger through his family members, CNN said…
Was he the alleged stalker?
Cellphone data revealed that Kohberger, 28, was often in the same location as students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, who were murdered on Nov. 13, a source close to one of the case’s investigators told The Daily Mail.

CNN reporting that authorities were tracking Kohberger; Public defender appointed
An FBI surveillance team tracked him for four days before his arrest while law enforcement worked with prosecutors to develop enough probable cause to obtain a warrant, the two law enforcement sources said.
Genetic genealogy techniques were used to connect Kohberger to unidentified DNA evidence, another source with knowledge of the case tells CNN. The DNA was run through a public database to find potential family member matches, and subsequent investigative work by law enforcement led to him as the suspect, the source said.
MORE..
Kohberger was arraigned Friday morning in Pennsylvania and is being held without bail, records show.
Kohberger intends to waive his extradition hearing to expedite his transport to Idaho, Monroe County Chief Public Defender Jason LaBar said in a statement to CNN on Saturday.
“Mr. Kohberger is eager to be exonerated of these charges and looks forward to resolving these matters as promptly as possible,” LaBar said.
Even with a suspect charged, law enforcement’s work is far from over, prosecutors said.
