Arrest may be followed by charges in death case
Investigation continues after the death case with possible more arrests. Davis sought help from the regional Major Case Squad bringing 40 extra officers from surrounding counties to assist Ottawa Police and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The squad operates for five days. A traffic stop and talk was set on Shawnee Road with over 100 residents interviewed and fielded calls. The suspect, Riley, had lived in Lawrence before moving to Pomona. An obituary for Barney Riley appears elsewhere on this page.

Governor Lingering Doubts on Education Funding Next Session
Gov. Bill Graves warned that 2002 will be difficult to advance education funding as lawmakers resist tax increases. He acknowledged failure to boost public school funding last session and noted all 125 House seats will be contested, complicating momentum for higher funding and clarification of suitable education costs. Graves cited recent four consecutive per pupil base aid hikes and urged public support for taxes to shield schools.
