Marr said that police have received around 50 tips from a dedicated tip line, although he said more assistance from the public is still needed.
'This case needs those in our community who have information to come forward,' he said. Right now, he said, the police are looking for information from anyone who may have seen someone discarding an object into the water between March 25 and March 27. And he asked for any photographs that had been taken of Pine Island Pond in that timeframe.
'We're also still requesting information about anyone who was pregnant during that time frame but is no longer pregnant and does not have a newborn baby,' he said.

Consultant behind AI-generated robocalls mimicking Biden goes on trial in New Hampshire

Enter Email Sign Up 'It's important that you save your vote for the November election,' voters were told. 'Your votes make a difference in November, not this Tuesday.' Advertisement Kramer, who owns a firm specializing in get-out-the-vote projects, has said he wasn't trying to influence the election but rather wanted to 'Maybe I'm a villain today, but I think in the end we get a better country and better democracy because of what I've done, deliberately,' Kramer told The Associated Press in February 2024. Advertisement Ahead of the trial, prosecutors sought to prevent Kramer from arguing that the primary was a meaningless straw poll because it wasn't sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee. At Biden's request, The state argued such evidence was irrelevant and could confuse jurors, but Judge Elizabeth Leonard denied the motion in March, saying the DNC's actions and Kramer's understanding of them were relevant to his motive and intent. She did grant the prosecution's request that the court accept as fact that the state held its presidential primary election as defined by law on Jan. 23, 2024. Jurors will be informed of that conclusion but won't be required to accept it. Defense says the only attack came from the DNC In his opening statement, defense attorney Thomas Reid said the robocall was Kramer's 'opinion and commentary' on the DNC's initial decision to block the state's delegates to the convention. 'That, ladies and gentlemen, was a brazen attack on your primary,' he said, referring to the DNC's actions. 'And it wasn't done by Steve Kramer.' 'He didn't see it as a real election, because it wasn't,' Reid said. Kramer faces Advertisement Kramer's attorney argued that his client didn't impersonate a candidate because the message didn't include Biden's name, and Biden wasn't a declared candidate in the primary. He also said the robocall message didn't tell anyone not to vote, a point quickly contradicted by the first half dozen witnesses for the prosecution. 'How else would one take it?' said Theodore Bosen, a retired lawyer from Berlin who received the call. 'That was horrific to my sensibilities that anybody would be trying to influence the vote in any election,' he said. On cross-examination, O'Donnell, the prosecutor, told jurors that Kramer tried to minimize his connection to the calls, including using his father's online banking account to pay the magician and fabricating the name of a 'client' when emailing a company involved in sending the calls. And he didn't contact authorities until the magician publicly identified him and authorities had begun tracing the calls to him, O'Donnell said. 'He knew it was wrong and was trying to get away with it,' O'Donnell said. Trial begins as the national landscape on AI is shifting Kramer The agency was developing AI-related rules when Donald Trump won the presidency, but has since shown signs of a possible shift toward loosening regulations. And though many states have enacted legislation regulating AI deepfakes in political campaigns, House Republicans in Congress recently added a clause to their signature tax bill that would ban states and localities from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade.

This art was too a-peeling: Giant banana sculpture stolen from N.H. town.
'I love this banana. I thought it was one of the most exciting things that's happened in Franconia in a long time,' said one local artist, Alison Dodd, in a video the Artwalk organizers made about the banana's disappearance. Advertisement The same characteristics that made the artwork an instant hit in town may have made it enticing to the thief, according to Lovett. Get N.H. Morning Report A weekday newsletter delivering the N.H. news you need to know right to your inbox. Enter Email Sign Up 'I have to say the banana was very attractive. It was a bright color, and I think we didn't really look at the security of the structure well enough because we never had a problem,' she said. 'We're fairly naive. Now we're rethinking that.' She said the banana sculpture was particularly vulnerable compared to the other 36 or so artworks on display, most of which are bolted into concrete. It was also lightweight, and it hadn't been secured with wires or locks – the thief simply had to cut through a nylon cord attaching it to the fishing pole, according to Lovett. Advertisement Lovett said she was working on plans for a community garden when she began getting calls from people who were concerned that the banana had gone missing. Then, she said, she rushed to the scene and saw for herself that it had been taken. She informed the police and spoke with the restaurant owner. 'No one knows where the banana is,' she said. Franconia Police Chief Martin 'Mac' Cashin said his department is investigating the theft, but so far, they don't have any leads or suspects. He said there hasn't been any security footage that has yielded clues about who might have absconded with the banana. 'I'm hoping that this is a senior prank of some sort and I'm hoping that somebody will return it undamaged,' said Cashin. The artwork was created by Massachusetts-based sculptor and art educator 'The idea of someone trying to smuggle around a giant banana is just objectively hilarious, but of course I am annoyed that the sculpture can't be seen anymore,' he said in a statement. The banana was valued at $475, according to Lovett. Members of the public with information about the missing banana can call the Franconia Police Department at 603-823-7025. 'Just want that banana back,' said Lovett.
