Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:32:01 GMT

(CNN) — A law enforcement team in northeast Oklahoma believes the prolific serial killer known as “BTK” may be responsible for several additional unsolved missing person and homicide cases. Now they’re hoping the public can help them identify barns and silos in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri that the self-proclaimed BTK killer Dennis Rader sketched in never-before-seen detailed drawings.Last month, the Osage County Sheriff’s Office publicly confirmed it was investigating Rader as the “prime suspect” in a 1976 cold case in their jurisdiction and several other unsolved crimes across three states.The investigators believe the killer may have buried 16-year-old Cynthia Dawn Kinney in a barn near the Kansas-Oklahoma border. Kinney was last seen at a laundromat in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, in 1976. Her body has never been found.CNN obtained images of Rader’s drawings, which were first recovered by law enforcement after his arrest in 2005.Rader pleaded guilty to 10 murders that too...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:32:01 GMT

(CNN) — Made from almost 8 pounds of gold and some 6,426 diamonds, a new coin honoring the life of Queen Elizabeth II may be “among the most valuable coins of all time.”In fact, the creator of this one-off luxury object has valued it at “around $23 million.”Unveiled on Monday, days before the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death, the commemorative coin as a whole is not considered legal tender in the UK (although the denominations of coins contained within the design are). It was produced by the East India Company, a luxury lifestyle brand with rights to the name of the corporation that once controlled large swathes of Britain’s empire.Dubbed “The Crown”, in a press release, the company described its creation as an “objet d’art.” The current Guinness World Record for the most expensive coin ever to sell at auction is held by a rare 1933 US “Double Eagle” that fetched $18.9 million at Sotheby’s New York in June 2021.The coin h...

Mets’ Ronny Mauricio reflects on ‘great’ first MLB series, earns praise from Francisco Lindor, Buck Showalter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:32:01 GMT

Mets prized prospect Ronny Mauricio burst onto the scene with five hits in his first three MLB games, but it wasn’t the 22-year-old’s offense that left his manager and double-play partner buzzing.Buck Showalter and shortstop Francisco Lindor separately praised Mauricio for instinctively backing up throws to first base over the weekend despite his limited experience as a second baseman.“The one thing that has impressed me the most is how composed he is,” Lindor said after Sunday’s 6-3 win at home against the Mariners. “There’s a couple plays where no one really is going to talk about. He has backed up first base many times. … These little things like that show me that his IQ and his baseball awareness, it’s at a high level.”The Dominican-born Mauricio is a natural shortstop, but he also spent time at second base, at third base and in left field at Triple-A Syracuse before being called up Friday. Blocked at shortstop by Lindo...
