LINCOLN COUNTY, Mo. - Lincoln County Sheriff's Office detectives investigated skeletal remains found in an abandoned home in Winfield Wednesday. Investigators said the person was found wearing several layers of clothing but said it is still early in the investigation."We found skeletal remains of a deceased person. At this time, we can't tell the sex or age of the individual," said Capt. David Hill for the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. "It's probably going to require dental records."Hill said the challenge for investigators is trying to identify the remains."As it's gotten hotter, that speeds up the decomposition process," he said.

A book ban is fueling a battle between the Temecula School Board President and Governor Gavin Newsom. The board recently blocked a history book because it mentions slain gay rights advocate Harvey Milk, who the board's president called a pedophile. In a tweet, the governor responded to Dr. Joseph Komrosky’s comment, calling the statement “offensive” and that it comes “from an ignorant person.”  “Governor Newsom, I’m glad that I have your attention. Now you have mine, as I received my first death threat after your tweet,” Komrosky said in response to Newsom's online remarks.  The Temecula School Board President says he’s ready for the challenge after Newsom said he’s ready to fight any school district in the state that tries to ban books that teach about race and sexual orientation. Komrosky’s comments about Milk, one of the first openly gay officials elected in the U.S., came during a school board meeting.  “It clarifies what his lifestyle was and it cl...
