NEWBURYPORT, Mass. —
More than three decades after skeletal remains were found partially buried along Interstate 95, investigators say they finally know who it was.
On Nov. 28, 1992, remains were found in the marsh grass in Newburyport, Massachusetts, along the highway. An autopsy was conducted, and although no cause of death was declared, the body was determined to be that of a teenage boy.
The identity of the teen remained unknown for 32 years.

A man and a woman who had recently moved to northwest Arkansas were apparently killed as they hiked in a state park with their school-age daughters, authorities said Sunday.
Arkansas State Police identified the victims as Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41. The agency said in a statement that the couple had recently moved to Prairie Grove from out of state.
Facebook pages for each, verified by NBC News, say that they have lived in inland California and eastern Montana. Public records place them in Miles City, Montana.
State police said the agency was notified of the double homicide in Devil’s Den State Park shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday. The park is about 12 miles east of Prairie Grove and about 25 miles south of Fayetteville.
“We are heartbroken by today’s horrific news from Devil’s Den State Park and are in close contact with State Police and the Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism as they work to apprehend the suspect,” Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Saturday evening on X.
She said “law enforcement will not rest” until the killer is found and prosecuted.
The victims’ daughters, ages 7 and 9, were not harmed and were in the custody of family members, the agency said Sunday. It’s not clear whether they witnessed the homicides.
A manhunt led by state police is underway. An FBI representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
State police said the killer is a man with a medium build who was wearing a dark, long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up, dark pants, a dark baseball cap and fingerless gloves.
He may have been seen driving toward a park exit in a black sedan, possibly a Mazda, with tape obscuring its license plate number, state police said. Investigators believe the man may have driven on State Highway 170 or State Highway 220 nearby.
No information about the type of weapon used or a motive was available.
The Arkansas State Crime Lab will confirm the manner and cause of death, state police said.
Detectives hope cellphone and security video can help them crack the case. They called for anyone at the park Saturday with cellphone or GoPro-style imagery to step forward.
The area of the park where the homicides took place was off-limits Sunday as the investigation continues, state police said. The couple’s bodies were found on a walking trail, the agency said.
It described the area as “remote and rural,” a region “where the terrain is rugged, vegetation is thick and there is no cellphone service.”
A state parks spokesperson said all trails at Devil’s Den were off-limits until further notice.
Last month, a dedication was staged for a newly renovated campground at the park. Arkansas State Parks describes Devil’s Den as “a favorite destination for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians.”
It is not clear how the double homicide was initially reported.
Right-hander Seth Lugo and the Kansas City Royals are finalizing a multiyear contract extension, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Sunday.
Lugo, 35, had been regarded as one of the best potential trade candidates this deadline season and one of the top free agent arms this winter.
Lugo has posted ERAs of 3.60 or lower for the past five seasons despite having below-average fastball velocity and good but not great strikeout rates. The right-hander’s ability to strand runners and limit hard contact comes in part due to his nine different pitches, which give him the flexibility to to make in-game adjustments, a luxury shared by only a handful of MLB starters.
Lugo is 7-5 with a 2.95 ERA and has 99 strikeouts in 113 innings.
ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan contributed to this report.
DURANGO, Colo. (KRQE) – Some see a high wire performance as a death wish, but for one Durango Highliner, it’s just another day at the office. Video shows Sean Englund above the Royal Gorge Bridge, making his way across the more than 1,000-foot-long crossing.
Englund says it takes a team to make this happen. “Thank you, community highlines. Man, again, I’m just so out of breath. Ahh, so sick, and such a sick opportunity,” says Englund. “Takes a crew, it takes a crew, man, takes a crew. Oh my God, just dreamlines man, dreamlines.”
This does not mean Englund is retiring after this high-wire act. He signed off to all his fans by saying, “See you next time.”
The roads were dangerously slippery after heavy rain. A fourth Tour de France title was all but won anyway, so finishing safely in the pack would do fine for Tadej Pogačar. Especially considering Sunday’s final stage had already been neutralized for safety reasons and he just had to complete the race.
Surely there was no need to launch a seemingly pointless attack and risk crashing?
But holding back or being cautious rarely appeals to Pogačar, the 26-year-old cycling star from Slovenia. He clinched his fourth Tour title in inimitably daring style on Sunday and further cemented his place among cycling’s greats.
Even though he really did not need to, and risked falling on oil slick-wet roads, Pogačar simply could not help himself. Against all logical opinion, he tried winning Sunday’s 21st and final stage with trademark uphill attacks, only to fall short of the stage win itself.

“In the end I found myself in the front, even though I didn’t have the energy,” said Pogačar, who won the Tour last year and in 2020 and 2021.
“Just speechless to win the Tour de France, this one feels especially amazing,” Pogačar added. “Just super proud that I can wear this yellow jersey.”
Two-time Tour champion Jonas Vingegaard finished the overall race 4 minutes, 24 seconds behind Pogačar in second place and Florian Lipowitz was 11 minutes adrift in third.
Belgian rider Wout van Aert won the 21st and last stage, which broke with tradition and featured three climbs of Montmartre hill.
Because of heavy rain and the risk of crashes, organizers had earlier neutralized the times 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the end, effectively giving Pogačar the victory — providing he crossed the finish line.
He did the opposite of what almost every rider would do with victory a near certainty.
As the rain teemed down, he set a tremendous pace in the Montmartre climbs as fans cheered all along the cobbled Rue Lepic, with flags and fans hanging out of windows.
Only five riders were left with Pogačar on the third ascension of the 1.1-kilometer Montmartre hill.
After fending off American Matteo Jorgenson, he was caught cold near the top as Van Aert launched a stunning attack to drop — yes, drop! — Pogačar, the world’s best climber, on the steepest section.
“Hats off to Wout, he was incredibly strong,” Pogačar said.
Van Aert rolled back down for a prestigious stage win on the famed Champs-Élysées. Pogačar looked weary as he crossed the line in fourth place, 19 seconds behind.
But then it was time to celebrate title No. 4. Although, don’t expect Pogačar to make any headlines on that front.
“Everyone celebrates in their own way, I just want peace and some nice weather, not like here today,” Pogačar said. “Just to enjoy some quiet days at home.”
Only four riders have won the showcase race five times: Belgian Eddy Merckx, Spaniard Miguel Induráin and Frenchmen Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault.
Pogačar won four stages this year to take his Tour tally to 21 and 30 at major races, including six at the Giro d’Italia and three at the Spanish Vuelta.

The UAE Team Emirates leader praised his teammates.
“I think the second week was the decisive moment,” Pogačar said. “We took more advantage.”
Lipowitz, meanwhile, secured his first career podium at a Grand Tour, the alternative name given to the three major races.
His performance, following his third-placed finish last month at the Critérium du Dauphiné, suggests the 24-year-old German rider could challenge in the near future.
Traditionally, the last stage is largely processional with riders doing laps around Paris. The Tour broke with tradition after the success of the Paris Olympics road race, which also took in Montmartre, famous for its Sacré-Coeur basilica.
It was the fifth straight year where Pogačar and Vingegaard finished 1-2 at the Tour.
Vingegaard was second in 2021, before beating Pogačar the next two years with the Slovenian second. When Pogačar reclaimed his title last year, Vingegaard was runner-up.
“We’ve raised the level of each other much higher and we push each other to the limit,” Pogačar said. “I must say to him, big, big respect.”
Pogačar has also won the Giro d’Italia, doing so last year to become the first cyclist to secure the Giro and Tour double in the same season since the late Marco Pantani in 1998.
But Pogačar has not yet won the Spanish Vuelta, whereas Anquetil, Hinault and Merckx won all three major races.
When Pogačar won the hilly fourth stage of this year’s race, it was the 100th professional victory of his stellar career, all events combined.
Pogačar is also the world road race champion.
His dominant victory at the Critérium continued his excellent form in the spring classics.
After winning stage 4 of the Tour, Pogačar added three more stage wins, including an emphatic uphill time trial.
He would love to win the Paris-Roubaix classic and Milan San-Remo.
The 259.2-kilometer, or 161-mile, Roubaix race is called “The Hell of the North” because of its dangerous cobblestone sections.
Pogačar’s debut appearance at the one-day classic this year saw him seeking to become the first Tour champion to win it since Hinault in 1981. But powerful Dutch rider Mathieu van der Poel won it for the third straight year.
Pogačar has also yet to win Milan-San Remo, with Van der Poel also beating him there this year.
Expect a fired-up Pogačar next year at Roubaix and Milan-San Remo.
The spread of electronic shelf labels to big U.S. retailers like Kroger and Walmart has raised questions about a future where prices could change in an instant.
Swedish mythic metallers SABATON have announced their 11th studio record, Legends, out on October 17th via Better Noise Music.
Their signature historical narratives are essential for any SABATON record – they’ve even developed their own YouTube channel titled Sabaton History Channel – and the band has collaborated with historians and experts to ensure that their record (and YouTube channel) are accurate.
Blending those narratives and metal, SABATON‘s forthcoming record is due to have 11 tracks, with bassist PärSundström elaborating, “Eleven tracks that cover eleven iconic legendary stories. This time we look further back in history than we have the past few years, going to times that I think are very exciting. As someone who’s always been into the history of the Middle Ages, knights and the legends of old, it felt incredible to finally bring those stories into the SABATON universe.”
Pre-orders are already available here, and you can stream either of SABATON‘s new singles, “The Duelist,” and “Lightning At The Gates,” here and here – or below.
