Minnesota fisherman who found car tied to 1960s cold case calls discovery "100% luck"
By WCCO reporter Ashley Grams In Sartell, Minnesota, an investigation is underway with ties to a decades-old cold case. Investigators spent hours removing a car that was 20 feet under the Mississippi River on Tuesday, all thanks to a tip. "When he caught the fish, I turned the transducer around and boom, there it was just sitting on the bottom," said Brody Loch, a fisherman from Watkins, Minnesota, who spotted the car. Loch was using a Garmin Livescope — sonar — while fishing over the weekend with a friend. "It was 100% luck," Loch said. "If my buddy wouldn't have caught that walleye, then we would have just kept on floating down and never would have found it." Loch spotted the 1960s-era car for the first time on Saturday, before returning on Sunday with his family to check again. He then called authorities. Police say after processing the vehicle, the Buick's VIN confirms the car belonged to Roy Benn. Benn disappeared in 1967, and his case made headlines, with some outlets reporting that Benn was carrying a large amount of money when he disappeared and was last seen leaving the King's Supper Club. "Looking back at some of the original case files, there was talk of quarries, there was talk of the Mississippi river, but of course, technology in the 1960s is nowhere near what we have now," said Sartell Police Chief Brandon Silgjord. Investigators also found human remains inside the car, and based on evidence so far, believe it to be Benn. "Tons of credit for a fisherman to actually see that and then have the forethought to call the sheriff's office and make that report," Silgjord said. The Benton County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation, as law enforcement tries to determine the circumstances of this case. "Artifacts, clothing items, different things like that that will absolutely help in piecing this whole thing together," Silgjord said. Silgjord says investigators have received questions about the cash Benn may have been carrying when he disappeared. "I think perspective needs to be offered sometimes, of what a large amount of cash looked like in 1960 versus now," Silgjord said. "Which very well could have been, from reading some of those original reports, several hundreds of dollars." Loch and Silgjord are both hopeful this find will bring answers to Benn's family.

Bryan Kohberger's prison responds to complaints about inmates ‘taunting' him
(NewsNation) — The prison where Bryan Kohberger is serving his life sentence for killing four Idaho students says he is safe despite his complaints about inmates taunting him since his arrival. 'We are aware of Kohberger's complaints about what he considers taunting,' the Idaho Department of Corrections told NewsNation in a statement. Bryan Kohberger likely in victims' home before murders: Prosecutor 'Incarcerated individuals commonly communicate with each other in prison. Bryan Kohberger is housed alone in a cell, and IDOC security staff maintain a safe and orderly environment for all individuals in our custody.' Bryan Kohberger's life in prison NewsNation learned that Kohberger was being 'tormented' by his fellow inmates, who are taking turns shouting through the air ducts all day and all night to keep him from sleeping or hearing himself think during the day. 'The inmates apparently were waiting for him,' said Chris McDonough, director of the Cold Case Foundation and a retired homicide detective. 'They are now making his life absolutely miserable. They're utilizing the vent system. They're kicking the doors. They're taunting him. And they're basically torturing him through using psychology,' he said. 'And my goodness, he's complaining.' Kohberger, who was sentenced to life in prison after accepting a plea deal, is being housed in solitary confinement outside of Boise. He was moved to the 'J Block' one week after being sentenced. That block of the prison houses the worst of the worst outside of being on death row. Bryan Kohberger police application discussed internally after murders 'It's really a prison within a prison,' said McDonough. 'The guards, the most they can do is write it down or tell him, 'Hey, there's nothing we can do. You're not in physical harm.' 'He's in an isolation situation. Those around him can't get to him physically.' Inside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, Kohberger and other inmates spend 23 hours a day inside their cells. The type of housing is meant for prisoners who could be injured by inmates in the general population or who could hurt others. Prisoners get an hour outside each day in a courtyard surrounded by cement. Some inmates are placed in cages in the outdoor area because they are so dangerous. Bryan Kohberger avoids death penalty with plea deal Kohberger accepted a plea deal weeks before he was set to go to trial for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. He killed the college students inside their off-campus apartment in Moscow on Nov. 13, 2022. The deal took the death penalty off the table in exchange for a guilty plea. The former graduate student was handed four life sentences last month. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

One in nine Welsh residents admit to not reporting violent crime
One in nine Cardiff residents admit to witnessing a violent crime and not reporting it. This statistic was gathered by Get Licensed, a security firm, which conducted a survey to explore crime reporting trends and shoplifting habits. The survey revealed that Cardiff had the highest percentage of residents failing to report violent crime in the UK. In contrast, London, Edinburgh, and Southampton each recorded 7 per cent of residents who admitted they wouldn't report violent crime. The survey also highlighted a trend across the UK: people aged 25-34 are the least likely to report a violent crime if they witness one. Further findings from the survey showed that almost a quarter (23 per cent) of Britons have witnessed minor crimes, such as shoplifting, and chose not to report them. In addition, 12 per cent of those who have never witnessed a crime said they would ignore it if they did. The survey provides a detailed overview of crime reporting trends and shoplifting habits across the UK.
