His identification makes Livingston the ninth presumed victim of Baumeister to be identified by investigators from among roughly 10,000 charred bones and bone fragments that were found at Baumeister’s sprawling property, Jellison said. He said investigators believe the bones and fragments could represent the remains of at least 25 people. During the original investigation in the 1990s, 11 human DNA samples were extracted from bones and bone fragments. Eight of those people, all young men, were identified and matched to DNA samples, with Livingston now the ninth to be identified, Jellison said. So far, more than 30 families have provided DNA samples, and Jellison hopes other families will submit additional samples.

An amusing story about the arrest of an Arkansas resident named Bridgette Watkins who allegedly raised deer indoors with the intention of training them to attack hunters is not real and originated on a satire page. The story and the photos could be traced to a Facebook post from a parody account that describes its content as satirical(here). The bio of the Facebook page, called Arkansas Game Fish, reads, “Satire page just for laughs.”(here). The page also posted a disclaimer saying “This is a satire page” just hours before sharing the Bridgette Watkins story (here).

Bryan Christopher Kohberger, who is accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, changed the title of his car five days after the murder. The records redacted Kohberger's name but the license plate listed in the application matches the license plate shown in police body camera video when Indiana law enforcement pulled over Kohberger and his father. The pair was stopped on Dec. 15, by deputies in Hancock County, Indiana, for allegedly following a vehicle too closely. He was released with a verbal warning, only to be stopped nine minutes later by Indiana State Police for the same traffic infraction. He appeared in court Tuesday in Monroe County, Pennsylvania and waived extradition.

Twice, Indiana law enforcement officials stopped the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students and let him go — and both times happened the same day, authorities said Tuesday. On Dec. 15, deputies pulled over Kohberger in Hancock County, Indiana, for “following too closely” on Interstate 70, the sheriff's office said in a statement Tuesday. And nine minutes after he was stopped by sheriff's deputies, Indiana State Police pulled over the vehicle, law enforcement officials said Tuesday. Last week, about 2,500 miles away, Pennsylvania State Police arrested Kohberger, 28, in the students' deaths. During a news conference following Kohberger’s appearance in court Tuesday, authorities in Pennsylvania discussed the arrest.

Eight of those people, all young men, were identified and matched to DNA samples, but the three remaining DNA profiles are of unknown individuals, Jellison said. A technician with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department examines human bones in a wooded area at Fox Hallow Farm in 1996. He is encouraging relatives of young men who went missing from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s to submit a DNA sample to aid in the identification efforts. Anyone with a friend who went missing during that time-frame can also provide tips to investigators, Jellison said. These people are someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s father.
