The case involved the death of Marise Ann Chiverella, a 9-year-old who was abducted on the morning of March 18, 1964, while on her way to school in the coal-mining town of Hazleton. A search ensued for Marise, and her body was found about five hours later, dumped in a coal pit. She had been strangled to death after being raped, according to investigators. Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) officers and detectives chased leads for years, trying to track down Marise’s killer with no luck....

The Colts (6-5) are still in the NFL playoff hunt but will have to negotiate the last five games of the season without tight end Ebron after confirming the roster move on Monday. The 26-year-old is poised to undergo surgery on both ankles, having first featured on his side’s injury report with the problems around four weeks ago. He played and tallied four catches for 44 yards in Thursday’s 20-17 divisional defeat against the Houston Texans but will play no further part in the campaign....

Their offensive line protected quarterback Deshaun Watson well and allowed him to pick apart a shaky Indianapolis secondary. Watson threw for 298 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Wideouts Will Fuller (140 receiving yards) and DeAndre Hopkins (94 receiving yards) repeatedly beat single coverage, particularly in the second half when the Colts (6-5) were forced to be aggressive on defense against the Texans (7-4).

Professor and writer John McWhorter took to Twitter on Tuesday to commend former Dwight-Englewood School English teacher Dana Stangel-Plowe for speaking out on issues inside the school in her resignation letter, which was published by the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism. “All hail Dana Stangel-Plowe, who has resigned from the Dwight-Englewood school, which teaches students ‘antiracism’ that sees life as nothing but abuse of power, and teaches that cringing, hostile group identity against oppression is the essence of a self,” McWhorter tweeted....

The Columbus Dispatch reported Monday that Precourt had grown frustrated with the club’s declining revenue and attendance, with the Crew’s average crowd of 15,439 ranking 20th out of the league’s 22 clubs this season. While Precourt did not confirm a date for the move, he did admit the team is looking at relocation options, with Austin featuring heavily in his released statement. “Despite our investments and efforts, the current course is not sustainable,” Precourt said in a statement....

It didn’t quite turn out like they planned. The team ended up forfeiting the game, which could very well cost it a spot in the playoffs. And the conversation that players wanted to start about the rigors of travel ended up falling on mostly deaf ears. Turns out fans don’t want to hear about how tough it is to play basketball for a living. They just want players to show up and play....

The comet, also known as C/2021 A1, is the brightest object of its type to be seen over the skies of Earth in 2021, and spotting it has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for skywatchers. Following its early January close approach to the sun, when it will pass within 57.2 million miles of our star, not only will the comet pass out of view, but its discoverer astronomer and University of Arizona researcher Greg Leonard, predicts it will be heading out of the solar system altogether....

If high-school textbooks are any guide –nothing, or next to it. At least, that’s what an astonishing study recently revealed. Of 81 current social-studies and history texts examined by Braunschweig University’s Institute of Schoolbook Research, half don’t even include East Germany at all. In all but a tiny handful of books, there’s no mention of the Stasi’s brutal methods, or its tens of thousands of victims. Instead, says study author Heike Mätzing, many books take pains to demonstrate that everyday life under communism wasn’t all that different from life in the West....

While Australia has dominated the medal standings of Commonwealth Games, men winning all six gold medals and the women winning five, India too had its fair share of victories and glorie in Commonwealth Games. As both Indian men and women’s team look to better their records at Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, let us take a look at the top three Indian hockey moments from Commonwealth Games so far. 3. Battle of arch-rivals (India vs Pakistan, 2010 CWG Delhi, men) India-Pakistan encounters are by far the most entertaining and exciting hockey matches that draw the most attention from both local and foreign hockey fans....

The tweets that appeared on the page, including one referring to Democratic congresswomen as the “Jihad Squad,” drew criticism from New Jersey’s Lieutenant Governor Sheila Oliver, who demanded Scanlan condemn the spreading of “racist, misogynist and Islamophobic images.” Initially, Scanlan said in a statement on Facebook that articles about the tweets were a “very lame attempt” by Governor Phil Murphy’s administration to “change the subject.” Scanlan wasn’t the only account to get into hot water over the “Jihad Squad” and the Illinois Cook County Democratic Party condemned the Republican County Chairman’s Association for posting an edited image of a poster for the film Gangster Squad on Facebook....

Since Final Fantasy 7 released back in 1997 on the PlayStation, Aerith has made a lot of appearances in other Square Enix games, including the Final Fantasy 7 Remake and some Kingdom Hearts titles.

It’s clear that the game’s developers are taking a decent amount of aesthetic inspiration from the comics, but there are still plenty of aspects to the characters that MCU fans should be familiar with. One of the most beloved characters that has maintained the core of what makes them so popular is Groot, as the walking-talking tree largely resembles how he looked in his first film appearance. This protective and charming side of Groot is one that fans haven’t been able to see in a long time, so when it comes to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, this could be a welcome interpretation for fans that fondly remember Groot’s MCU origins....
