ESPN.com news services



COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The body of missing Ohio State defensive lineman Kosta Karageorge was found by Columbus police on Sunday after a search that started after he went missing on Wednesday.

Karageorge, 22, was found dead in a dumpster of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was identified by tattoos at the scene, and a police spokesman said the investigation would continue with both the dumpster and the body of Karageorge being transported to the county morgue.

"At this time, there's a lot of questions that we're still trying to work out," Sgt. Rich Weiner told reporters at the scene. "But he was found inside of the dumpster, the handgun was found inside of the dumpster with him.

"At this time we are able to confirm through tattoos here at the scene that it is the body of Kosta Karageorge."

A police report says Karageorge's mother told authorities he has had concussions and spells of confusion. She said he texted a message Wednesday citing the concussions and saying he was sorry if he was "an embarrassment."

Karageorge was scheduled to be recognized on senior day during Saturday's home game against rival Michigan, but he had gone missing on Wednesday leading up to the 42-28 win by the No. 6 Buckeyes.

FBI joins search for missing Pa. college student



PHILADELPHIA  -- The FBI has now joined the search for a college senior who was last seen leaving a crowded Philadelphia bar after a night out with friends.

On Sunday afternoon, police combed the frigid waters of the Manayunk Canal but came up empty in their search for 21-year-old West Chester University student Shane Montgomery.

Montgomery's parents watched from the canal bank.

Police say Montgomery was home from school and had met up with friends Wednesday night. Authorities say he became separated from them and was escorted out by a bouncer at 2 a.m. Thursday after stumbling. He hasn't been seen since.

Montgomery was kicked out of Kildaire's Irish Pub in Manayunk after bumping into a bar stool, reports CBS Philly.

More details emerge about the night Shane Montgomery went missing (Video)

Updated 1 hr 24 mins ago

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The reward increased to $25,000 Monday for information about missing college student Shane Montgomery, and we're learning more about the circumstances of his departure from a popular Manayunk bar.

The 21-year-old college student has been missing since Thanksgiving - last seen leaving Kildare's Irish Pub around 2 a.m. Thursday.

Jim Townsend, the Director of Operations of Kildare's, explained Monday that there was no altercation or friction surrounding Shane's departure from the bar and emphasized that he was not acting drunk.

He says Montgomery did accidentally bump into the DJ's equipment, but was polite and respectful and moved on.

According to Townsend, Montgomery then met up with a relative, who is a Kildare's employee, who informed him it was closing time. He says it was 1:50 a.m. when the relative walked Shane to the front door where they were met with security who saw Shane out.

Townsend says, "Other than the front door staff, Shane did not have any interaction with any other management or security staff or cause a disruption as he left the restaurant. He was respectful and left the premises on his own."

SEARCY -- Police have called off the active search for a missing 2-year-old and are now focusing on a criminal investigation into the child's disappearance.

The search for Malik Drummond began Nov. 23 when his father and stepmother reported he apparently walked away from their home. Volunteers joined with local police, state police and the FBI in an unsuccessful search for the boy.

Police Chief Jeremy Clark said in a news release Monday that investigators will focus "on the only possible remaining scenarios."

Cpl. Steve Hernandez said those scenarios are that the boy was abducted or that he may be dead.

Hernandez said police do not have a specific suspect in the case — but have eliminated no one as a suspect, including members of the boy's family.

I thot of that case, too. There are too many missing college "boys" who disappear from bars. IIRC, this happens too often near water... I had read a sketchy connection between interstates or certain patterns...No cause of death is ever released.

Do you recall the missing coaches son? They found the young man's body in shallow water. Did they ever arrest anyone?

@Freckles:

I know that we have read and followed several cases where college age students have gone missing after being kicked out of a bar by a bouncer, or have separated from their friends after a night out drinking and their bodies have later been found in a body of water; several have been found in the Wisconsin River, including the body of the son of the Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. I haven't followed the case closely, I don't know of details about an arrest being made related to his death.

Mother charged after infant found in drain (Video)

Updated: Nov 30, 2014 10:41 PM CST



SYDNEY, Australia (Seven Network/CNN) - Police have charged a mother whose newborn baby was found alive at the bottom of a storm drain on Sunday.

A group of passersby made the discovery at the bottom of a concrete drain, two and a half meters deep and in distress.

"It was heartbreaking. We felt sick. We still feel sick. We just wanted that baby to know and see it's face it was OK," Hayley Otte said.

Hayley Otte and her father David Otte were cycling through Quakers Hill Sunday morning when they heard the little boy's cries.

It's just lucky they found him when they did. Temperatures eclipsed 40 degrees just hours later, meaning the baby may not have survived.

MISSING IN AMERICA: Rhonda Daugherty

Rhonda Daugherty, 49, vanished on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2014, from her home in LaFollette, Tennessee.

Her husband, Charles Daugherty, told police that he arrived home that evening to find the back door wide open. All of her belongings, including her cell phone, purse, keys and vehicle, were located at the home. However, Rhonda was nowhere to be found.



"Not knowing what's happened is the biggest thing, just not knowing what's happened to her. Is she out here cold and alone? I don't know. I want to find her," Charles told NBC affiliate WBIR.

Family and friends said it's very unlike Rhonda to simply vanish, especially as she is expected to become a first-time grandmother this week.

Police have not commented on whether or not the mother's disappearance is suspicious, but they have launched an investigation. The sheriff's office is also offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to her whereabouts.

"We're just devastated," Rhonda's cousin, Scott Kitts, told Dateline. "Especially with the holidays coming up, we are all out of minds with worry. Rhonda is a big part of the community here."

Rhonda is described as 5'3", 150 lbs., with auburn hair and hazel eyes. If you have any information that could help in the case, please call the Campbell County Sheriff's Office at (423) 562-7446. You can also visit the Facebook page, Search for Rhonda Kitts Daugherty, for more information.

Friend of alleged UVA rape victim: Story is no hoax

A suitemate of a student who claims she was gang-raped at a University of Virginia fraternity party says that the alleged victim's story is "not a hoax, a lie or a scheme" - despite new questions about the woman's account.

In a letter published in the school's newspaper, Emily Clark says she has no concrete evidence to prove that her friend -- given the pseudonym "Jackie" in a Rolling Stone article -- was sexually assaulted but described a noticeable change in her roommate.

"Jackie never mentioned anything about her assault to us until much later," Clark writes. "But I, as well as others, noticed Jackie becoming more and more withdrawn and depressed."

Clark's letter comes after Rolling Stone changed its apology over the story about the alleged gang rape, telling readers the mistakes were the magazine's fault, not the alleged victim's.

The magazine said that it shouldn't have agreed to Jackie's request not to contact the alleged assailants to get their side of the story, out of sensitivity to her. "These mistakes are on Rolling Stone, not on Jackie," wrote the magazine's managing editor, Will Dana. "We apologize to anyone who was affected by the story and we will continue to investigate the events of that evening."

Plea talks to begin in case of 6 newborns dead
Associated Press  By LINDSAY WHITEHURST 6 hours ago

PROVO, Utah (AP) — A plea agreement could be in the works for a Utah woman accused of killing six of her seven newborn babies and storing all the bodies in her garage, the prosecutor said Monday.

Megan Huntsman, 39, of Pleasant Grove, waived her right to have a judge review the evidence against her to decide if she should stand trial. Appearing pale and speaking in a soft voice Monday, she told Judge Darold McDade that she understood what it meant to waive her right to a preliminary hearing.

...Police said Huntsman strangled or suffocated six infants over a 10-year period from 1996 to 2006, and a seventh baby found in her garage was stillborn. Investigators say she was addicted to methamphetamine and didn't want to care for the babies.

Possible Break in Disappearance of Missing College Student Shane Montgomery
By Caitlin Keating  @caitkeating  12/10/2014 AT 03:45 PM EST


Police may have made their first break Wednesday in the disappearance of the 21-year-old Pennsylvania college student who went missing on Thanksgiving Eve.

Shane Montgomery was last seen out with his cousin around 1:45 a.m. at Kildare's Irish Pub in Philadelphia on Nov. 26.

"Until today, we could not find him on any of the video surveillance," Richard Ross, first deputy police commissioner, tells PEOPLE. "But we finally found a video that seems to depict him in the area. We are not certain but this is the most positive break we have had so far."

He hopes they will be able to confirm if it's actually Montgomery by the end of day.

Suspects in Slaying of Arkansas Realtor Beverly Carter Plead Not Guilty
By Steve Helling  @stevehelling  12/10/2014 AT 07:45 AM EST


When realtor Beverly Carter vanished on Sept. 25 while showing a house to a prospective buyer, the community of Scott, Arkansas, hoped for her safe return.

Police quickly focused on 33-year-old Arron Lewis as their suspect, and they say he led them to her body five days later. He was arrested. A month later, his estranged wife, Crystal Lowery, was also arrested and charged with the murder.

Lewis initially told reporters that he had targeted Carter because "she was just a woman who worked alone – a rich broker." But in court on Thursday, he and Lowery both pleaded not guilty to the killing. According to defense attorney James Hensley, Jr., the defense team wanted Lewis to undergo a mental evaluation, but he rejected the request.

Dad: Teen lit on fire in rural Miss. may have ID'd her killer
9:21 a.m. EST December 10, 2014

COURTLAND, Miss. — A teen who died a gruesome death at the hands of an unidentified assailant may have told investigators who her killer was before she died, family members said.

On Saturday night in rural Panola County, deputies responded to a call about a burning car and found Jessica Chambers of Courtland on fire walking down the road, gravely injured. She was taken to a Memphis hospital, where she died the next day.

...Preliminary autopsy results revealed that the 19-year-old died from severe burns that covered 98% of her body, Panola County Coroner Gracie Gulledge said.

"From what we were told, the only part of her body that wasn't burned was the bottom of her feet," said Amanda Prince, Chambers' sister.

Police told family members that someone was inside Chambers' car before the attack. The assailant poured accelerant down her throat and nose and set her on fire.

​Rikers Island guard convicted in NYC inmate's 2012 death

NEW YORK -- A New York City jail guard has been convicted of a civil rights charge after a jury concluded he ignored the pleas of a dying Rikers Island inmate who had swallowed a toxic soap ball.

Terrence Pendergrass shook his head repeatedly as the verdict was announced Wednesday in Manhattan federal court.

Pendergrass was charged in the death of 25-year-old Jason Echevarria, who had bipolar disorder and was being held on a burglary charge, CBS New York reported.

On Aug. 18, 2012, Echevarria, who was in a mental health unit, swallowed a powerful disinfectant commonly referred to as a "soap ball" which he was given by a new correction officer after a sewage backup in his cell, officials said.

The man was left unattended for hours and was discovered dead the next day. An autopsy revealed he "died as a result of injuries caused by the ingestion of a caustic substance, consistent with the ingestion of a soap ball."
