Bryan Kohberger May Have Left an Eerie Imprint on Window of Murder House
As if the crime scene wasn't eerie enough with 4 slaughtered college students ... Bryan Kohberger might have left a seriously creepy imprint on a window outside the murder house that fateful night. As we reported earlier this month ... two handprints were found on the exterior glass of the window at the Moscow, Idaho home, where Kohberger fatally stabbed the University of Idaho students in November 2022. Police snapped a photo of the window as they processed the crime scene, releasing the pic as part of a recent document dump after the case closed. On August 8, TMZ published the photo along with others from the scene ... but new information contained in the police files points to something even more chilling about the window. On the glass, police found a "possible faceprint." Cops do not specify if the apparent faceprint belongs to Kohberger or someone else, or when it was actually left. But, we know Kohberger was lurking inside and outside the house that night -- and he entered and exited through a sliding glass door, which appears to be close to the window. Kohberger is currently serving 4 life terms without parole after pleading guilty to the murders in an Idaho court.

Stephen Miller Pledges Even More ‘Resources' for D.C. Crackdown
President Trump's deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, said on Wednesday that the administration planned to add 'thousands more resources' to its crackdown on crime underway in Washington. Mr. Miller said this while standing at a burger restaurant inside a train station in the middle of the afternoon. He was with Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The three decided to drop by the Shake Shack in Union Station so they could buy burgers for and take pictures with some of the National Guard troops who are patrolling the train hall as part of the administration's crackdown. But as the trio of top Trump officials walked through the cavernous train hall, they were heckled and booed by people in transit. Inside the Shake Shack, Mr. Miller declared that the jeering would directly result in the administration's throwing more resources at lowering crime rates that Mr. Trump has called 'totally out of control' but that have actually fallen sharply the past two years. 'I'm glad they're here today,' Mr. Miller said of the hecklers, 'because me, Pete and the vice president are all going to leave here and, inspired by them, we're going to add thousands more resources to this city to get the criminals and the gang members out of here.' The White House and Mr. Miller did not immediately respond to requests for comment on who would be joining in the crackdown effort. The shouting and booing provided a melodramatic foil for Mr. Miller and the other officials to cast themselves as fighting against a lawless city ruined by liberal maniacs. 'All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been,' Mr. Miller said. Want all of The Times?

ODI series rocked as South African star suspended over 'suspect' act against Aussies
There's been an explosive fallout to the first cricket ODI between Australia and South Africa, with Adam Zampa copping an official warning from the ICC and Proteas all-rounder Prenelan Subrayen reported for a suspect bowling action. Subrayen will sit out the remaining two matches against Australia after being provisionally suspended by the ICC pending further testing. The 31-year-old took the key wicket of Travis Head in the first ODI in Cairns on Tuesday, snaring 1-46 from 10 overs as the Proteas won by 98 runs. It was Subrayen's ODI debut, but he might have to wait awhile to play his second match. The ICC announced on Thursday that Subrayen's action had been reported by match officials, and he'll now face an independent assessment of his action at an ICC-accredited testing facility within 14 days. He won't be allowed to play ICC-sanctioned games until being cleared. It's the same situation that Australian spinner Matt Kuhnemann faced when he was reported after the second Test against Sri Lanka earlier this year. Kuhnemann was later cleared and allowed to continue bowling after being tested. Prenelan Subrayen reported for third time in career It's the third time Subrayen has been reported after his action was first deemed suspect more than a decade ago. In December of 2012, Cricket South Africa (CSA) placed him under rehabilitation after two separate independent tests showed his action to be illegal, but he was cleared to bowl again in January of 2013 after re-testing. The off-spinning all-rounder was then reported twice in the following two years during matches, before he was eventually cleared to resume bowling after having his action examined at South Africa's national performance centre in March of 2016. In June he earned his first Test appearance for South Africa against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, and was then handed his first ODI cap in Cairns on Tuesday. It comes as another blow for the touring South Africans, who have already lost star paceman Kagiso Rabada to injury with two more games to be played in Mackay on Friday and Sunday. After losing the T20 series 2-1, the Proteas are eyeing revenge in the ODI format. RELATED: Tributes flow as cricket rocked by sad news about Aussie legend Scott Boland responds amid calls for Nathan Lyon to be axed Adam Zampa cops sanction over audible obscenity Meanwhile, Aussie spinner Zampa was also mentioned in the official match report. The leg-spinner has been slapped with a demerit point for breaching the ICC's code of conduct after he was caught using "an audible obscenity during an international match." The incident occurred in the 37th over of the Proteas' innings, when Zampa used inappropriate language after a misfield and overthrow off his bowling. The audible obscenity was picked up on the stump microphone and broadcast to the TV audience. Zampa admitted the offence and accepted the sanction, and no formal hearing was required. Players are suspended if they attract four demerit points within a 24-month period. Zampa took 1-58 in his 10 overs in Cairns, as well as making 11 with the bat. with agencies
