Tipton County detective honored by FBI for work on child exploitation case
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Tipton County detective was honored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for her work on a child sexual exploitation case in January. On June 4, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Taneka Harris Blacknell and other members of her team presented Detective Tonia Bruno a letter and certificate of appreciation. In a social media post describing the event, Tipton County Sheriff Shannon Beasley said that in 2023, Detective Bruno and other members of the Criminal Investigation Division executed a search warrant on a convicted and registered sex offender, Austin Lineback. ORIGINAL STORY: TN man facing state, federal child sex crimes charges Items of evidentiary value, along with electronic devices, were seized and presented as evidence at the trial. Lineback was eventually found guilty on multiple charges, such as violation of the sex offender act and one count of sexual exploitation of a minor, and is facing 10 to 20 years in federal prison. In a letter to Sheriff Beasley, Special Agent Blackwell wrote the following, 'Detective Bruno's testimony was professional, skilled and thorough. Detective Bruno's expertise and passionate pursuit of justice were pivotal to the success of the joint investigation and directly improved the safety of Tipton County.' Bruno was also issued the Certificate of Appreciation by Special Agent Blacknell, from the FBI and Director Kash Patel. 'We are extremely proud of the work Detective Bruno does for our office and to have our partners at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recognize her efforts just highlights the diligent work she does for Tipton Countians,' Sheriff Beasley said.

More bodies of executed civil war-era prisoners uncovered under Greek city park
THESSALONIKI, Greece -- Another series of unmarked graves — this one containing 14 individuals from Greece's civil war era — have been dug up in a park in a suburb near the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki, local officials said Saturday. As in the previous tight cluster of unmarked burial pits excavated earlier this year in Neapolis-Sykies, the bodies belong to prisoners who were held in a nearby Byzantine fortress. The prisoners, alleged communists and sympathizers, were executed between 1946 and 1953, according to historians. The Yedi Kule castle, also known by its Greek name Eptapyrgio ('seven towers') was a prison where communist sympathizers were tortured and executed during Greece's 1946-49 Civil War and immediately afterward. The burial pits were uncovered on the site of a municipal park undergoing renovation, including the installation of new benches. The graves were not far beneath the surface, Haris Charismiadis, the supervising engineer of the park project, told The Associated Press. The renovation project is not currently a priority for local mayor Simos Daniilidis. 'We insisted on continuing the digging for the graves,' he said. Charismiadis, who said most of the current batch of bodies were found during the past week, is certain there are more people buried nearby, including, probably, under the tarmac of streets adjacent to the park. An archaeologist is assisting in the digging. In contrast with the 33 bodies found earlier this year, which were lying side by side, the recently found bodies are jumbled, as if thrown randomly, and hastily, in a heap. Torsos and heads are separated. When Yedi Kule prisoners were executed, their families were often not notified and they didn't get to retrieve their bodies. Some found out about the fate of their loved ones from newspapers — one family happened upon the news while on the bus they had taken to the prison to bring their relative a fresh change of clothes.
