Skeletal Remains Found in National Park Identified as Man Who May Have Died in 2024, Authorities Say
Officials said the remains belonged to Steven Noto, whose cause of death is still unknownNEED TO KNOW Skeletal remains were found in an area near the Alpine Ridge Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park on June 18 The Latimer County Coroner's Office confirmed on July 28 that the remains belonged to Steven Noto, 40 The National Park Service said Noto may have died in November 2024, and no foul play is suspectedSkeletal remains found in a Colorado national park over a month ago have been identified, according to authorities. The National Park Service (NPS) earlier said that the remains were discovered in an area near the Alpine Ridge Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park in the late afternoon of June 18. Park law enforcement rangers responded to the scene and were leading an investigation following the discovery. On Monday, July 28, the Larimer County Coroner's Office said the remains were positively identified as belonging to Steven Noto, 40, of Western New York, through dental records comparison. 'Due to the remains being mostly skeletonized at the time they were found; a cause and manner of death is unable to be determined,' the coroner's office said. 'Based on the scene investigation and the forensic examination of the remains, the death is believed to have occurred in late November of 2024, and foul play has been ruled out.' The coroner's office said the forensic examination of the remains was conducted on June 20 at the Larimer County Forensic Sciences Center. The agency added that the National Park Service is leading the investigation into the matter. According to the National Park Service, Rocky Mountain National Park covers 415 square miles (265,807 acres) and boasts meadows, alpine lakes and more than 300 miles of hiking trails.

In August 2020, a hiker came across skeletal remains at the same park, according to the National Park Service. In a press release issued a year later, officials said they believed those remains belonged to Rudi Moder, a 27-year-old winter mountaineer from West Germany who disappeared in February 1983. When Moder was reported missing by a roommate, a search and rescue operation began, but a foot of fresh snow was blamed for "hampering search efforts in finding tracks and other clues." A "four-day extensive search" was conducted at the time, according to authorities. Read the original article on People

US woman claims murder bid evidence against her is ‘terrible coincidence'
A US citizen accused of attempting to shoot a stranger dead has suggested the perpetrator was 'another American woman' who sounded similar to her, used the same phone and wore the same sort of trainers. Aimee Betro, 45, told jurors that it was 'all just a terrible coincidence' that she was around the corner from the scene of the attempted assassination six minutes later. Betro, who denies conspiracy to murder, is alleged to have flown into Britain and taken part in a plot orchestrated by co-conspirators Mohammed Aslam, 56, and his son Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, to attack a rival family, in September 2019. Betro, from West Allis in Wisconsin, told jurors on Tuesday that she did not know there had been an attempted killing when she left the UK two days afterwards. Prosecutors allege Betro hid her identity using a niqab when she tried to shoot Sikander Ali at point blank range outside his home in Measham Grove, Yardley, Birmingham, but the gun jammed, allowing him to flee. Birmingham Crown Court has heard Aslam and Nazir, who were jailed last year for their part in the assassination plot, were involved in a feud with Mr Ali's father, Aslat Mahumad. Addressing the evidence against her in chronological order during questioning by defence barrister Paul Lewis KC, Betro claimed she was in Birmingham city centre at the time of the attempted assassination, and a follow-up shooting at the intended victim's house hours later. She also maintained that a woman described as having an American accent and being small and fat, who bought a vehicle linked to the plot, was not her. Betro went on to claim that she did not have possession of a gun at any time during the night of September 7 into the early hours of September 8, when three shots were fired at a house in Measham Grove after a woman arrived there in a taxi. During cross-examination of Betro, prosecutor Tom Walkling KC asked her a series of questions about what she claimed the 'different American woman' had done at about the time of the attempted murder and the follow-up incident. Answering questions from Mr Walkling, the defendant said that the other American woman had called Mr Mahumad, using a phone Betro had bought. Betro claimed she had not bought a Mercedes car used in the plot, then agreed with Mr Walkling when he asked if 'that was a different American woman as well?' Mr Walkling then asked: 'And you didn't try to murder Sikander Ali that evening?' Betro said: 'No.' Mr Walkling continued: 'But you were around the corner six minutes later?' Betro answered: 'Yes.' The graphic design and childhood education graduate, who spent five years living in Armenia before her arrest in January this year, confirmed to Mr Walkling that it was her case that the 'other American woman' who had fired shots at a property in Measham Grove in the early hours and was 'using your phone and wearing shoes like yours'. Mr Walkling then asked 'It's all just a terrible coincidence is it?' and Betro replied: 'Yes.' The prosecutor said: 'So there must be, on your case, another American woman in Birmingham at the same time as you, who knew Mr Nazir, who sounded similar to you, who used the cheap phone that you bought, who called (a taxi firm) on your own telephone, and who wore at the very least the same sort of Converse trainers you had.' Betro answered: 'Yes.' Mr Walkling continued: 'This other American woman we are describing told a taxi (driver) she wanted to go back to the Rotunda. 'So was this mysterious American woman who shared so many characteristics with you also staying at the Rotunda? It does sound rather like you doesn't it?' Wearing a black top, glasses and with her hair in space buns, Betro replied: 'No.' She also claimed she had 'no reason or motive' to carry out the shooting and did not know the intended victim's family. Betro told the jury on Monday that she flew into Britain to celebrate her birthday and attend a boat party, having met Nazir on a dating app and having previously travelled to the UK to meet him. The defendant also denies possessing a self-loading pistol and a charge of fraudulently evading the prohibition on importing ammunition. The trial continues.

Bereaved family intend to apply to access Scappaticci will
A solicitor has indicated applications will be made at the High Court in Belfast to access the will of a man believed to be the IRA agent known as Stakeknife. Earlier this week, the High Court in London ruled that the will of Freddie Scappaticci, believed to be Britain's top agent inside the IRA, will not be made public. In 2003, media reports claimed that Scappaticci had spied on the IRA for the British government, and that while working for both organisations, 'was responsible for the torture and murder of dozens of alleged IRA informers'. Scappaticci, from west Belfast, had always denied the claims before his death aged 77 in 2023. In a ruling on Monday, Sir Julian Flaux ordered that Scappaticci's will should be sealed for 70 years, meaning that its contents will not be made public. The judge said that this is the first time, except for members of the royal family, where a court has ordered that a will not be made open to public inspection in the way the document would usually be. He said: 'There is nothing in the will, which is in fairly standard form, which could conceivably be of interest to the public or the media.' On Tuesday, solicitor Kevin Winters said his firm acts on behalf of more than 30 plaintiffs in ongoing High Court proceedings against the State and Scappaticci. He said the existence of a will 'points to this man having assets and funds, the origin of which will greatly interest the next of kin of so many murder victims'. 'We are now instructed to look at making applications to the High Court in Belfast to access the will,' he said. 'All our clients will have a vested interest in the out workings of its contents as they will likely touch upon liability in the cases, as well as determining which defendant may be liable to pay out damages. 'We shouldn't forget that, as well as the State agencies, families are suing Freddie Scappaticci on the basis that he's a mark for damages. 'That entitlement to continue the actions didn't end with Stakeknife's death. 'The cases against his estate continue, so we're interested in the out workings of this testamentary document.' Mr Winters added that the families 'won't settle in being told that the details of his will are to be shelved for 70 years'. 'They've battled for too long now and won't be easily fobbed off in trying to get more information,' he said. 'Their interest will be piqued all the more on the revelation that a number of years ago we queried Scappaticci's legal aid status, only to be told that he was in receipt of state benefits. 'We now intend to revisit the circumstances in which this State-funded killer was able to claim State benefits to support his legal aid status in defending the ongoing tranche of cases against him. 'From the sale of his house in Guildford, he presents as a person of means. 'That has to be the subject of an investigation and to that end, we look forward to a renewed judicial scrutiny in Belfast into Stakeknife's finances.'
