Skeleton's identity still a mystery
The Southern Norris City reports that police have not confirmed the skeletal remains found in Hamilton County on Oct. 14 as Norris City teen Linda Keown who vanished in 1982. Investigators lack dental records and a treating dentist to confirm identity, though Lt. Merv Gillenwater says it remains a strong possibility. The bones were found near Big Hill Cemetery, three miles west of Norris City by a teen trash-piling on his family lot.

Mural Masterpiece by Carterville Volunteer Artists
John and Carol Yack of Carterville Public Library Friends volunteered thousands of hours. John says the library is the crown jewel of Carterville. In September he handcrafted a five section mural using wood and paint for the children's area after winning an art contest at Marion Carnegie Library in 1998 following a quadruple heart bypass.

Sex predator Lyell denied writ of habeas corpus
U.S. District Court in East St. Louis denied a petition by 57 year old Richard Lyell of Marion for a writ of habeas corpus. The ruling upholds his 1994 two count child pornography conviction in Williamson County and finds the petition untimely filed after the 2000 deadline.
