Speed limits raise not tied to Kansas crash rise study says
Kansas State University associate professor Yacoub Najjar led a study reviewing more than 70,000 crash reports from 1993 to 1997 on Kansas interstates and rural two lane roads. The findings show four lane rural interstates had about 0.7 crashes per million vehicle miles in early 1997, only modestly above 1995 levels, suggesting higher speeds did not significantly increase overall accidents while enabling higher driving awareness. He notes preliminary data show a small rise in disabling injuries on rural two lanes, possibly due to narrow shoulders and road geometry. The study, for the Kansas Department of Transportation, covers speed changes in 1996 from 65 to 70 mph on interstates and from 50 to 65 mph on selected two-lane segments.

KBI forms Cold Case Squad to reopen old homicides
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation created a Cold Case Squad blending new tech with traditional police work to solve long unsolved crimes. Its first arrest followed the 1976 beating death of Frankie Wayne Tiller, whose body was found on the Kansas River bank in Kansas City Kansas. An Iowa inmate, Kenneth Levy, offered information on a Kansas homicide in exchange for potential leniency in another case.
