Hickory Riper Arkansas AP. Prosecutor Fletcher Long Jr. drops capital murder charge against Robbie Dale Tubbs after the FBI could not extract DNA from the correct hair strand linked to Christina Pipkin's 1991 death. Defense argues there was no direct link and double jeopardy concerns prevent refiling. Tubbs had been a suspect since 1991 after a strand from his car was found in the evidence file.

Firefighters gain ground on Colorado wildfires amid cooling weather
Cooler, humid conditions boosted a firefighting push near Denver as 1,500 firefighters battled two wildfires west of the city. A fire east of Rocky Mountain National Park covered about 8,100 acres with 50 percent containment and a separate blaze southwest of Denver burned around 10,950 acres with similar containment. Evacuees began returning home while authorities estimated thousands of acres burned and noted ongoing road reopenings. One suspect, Kenny Winchester, 33, of Loveland, may have started the Park area fire and has a lawyer but has not spoken to deputies.
