Murder issue solved after 38 years

A Colorado murder mystery that baffled detectives for nearly four decades has been solved after one of the killer's relatives uploaded their DNA to a genetic genealogy database.

18-year-old Jeannie Moore was last seen hitching a ride to her job at a convenience store in
Lakewood on August 25, 1981, and her body was discovered five days later at a picnic ground in nearby Genesse Park.

An autopsy revealed that Moore had been r-ped and that she was killed by 'several blows to the head'.

Despite widespread media attention, and the fact that the murderer's semen was retrieved from a piece of Moore's clothing, the case went unsolved for almost 40 years.

However, a breakthrough came back in May, when the county's lead cold case detective, Elias Alberti, noted that California's infamous Golden State Killer had been identified after a relative uploaded their DNA to an ancestry website.

Given that investigators had a clean DNA sample from Moore's killer, Alberti decided to see whether there would be a possible match sitting in a database.

'It was a no-brainer,' the detective told The Denver Channel.

Flight was delayed in southafrica for evacuation of Nigerians

Few hours to the evacuation of at least 320 Nigerians from South Africa, following the ongoing xenophobic attacks in that country, the South African Government has denied Air Peace the landing permit needed to evacuate willing Nigerians.
The airline had planned to depart Nigeria through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos on Monday night, but as at 3 am on Tuesday, the airline was yet to be granted landing permit.
Recall that Air Peace had Wednesday last week evacuated 178 willing Nigerians from South Africa, but the immigration authority in that country frustrated the airline and the willing Nigerians from departing the country.

The flight was delayed for over 10 hours in South Africa by the airport authority.
Mr Allen Onyema, the Chairman of Air Peace, in an interview with our correspondent, confirmed the latest development to our colleagues.

Elozonam wins HOH of the week 8/17/2019

With ten tables and a plate with one hundred and twenty sweets, a drinking straw and a small cup each, the Pepper Gang were Tasked to a suction Head of House battle.
The Sweets Scuffle
Given the freedom to walk over to the table of their choosing the Housemates had only one job – to move all the sweets on their plates to the cups next their plates using only the drinking straws provided. For this, they were required to move the sweets from the plate, by inhaling with their mouths through the straws picking the sweets up and dropping them in the cups.
Easy?
Why not try this without touching the sweets with your hands at any time and if it falls off the plate simply pick it up with the straw. Sounds easy still?

A Winner In 120 Sweets
Elozonam redefined easy when he emerged as the winner in this challenge. While others like Diane and Ike struggled with the sweets and cups, Elozonam breezed through and hit the buzzer like a real champ. We couldn’t help but wonder if it was his love for tweets or the fight for the HoH room that led to his win but one thing we can agree is that he did it like a pro.

Of course, he left the Arena with the Head of House crown, 250 Bet9ja Coins, immunity privilege (or so he thinks) and Diane as his royal HoH room partner.
Congrats, Elozonam!
Elozonam decided to share the luxury of the Head of House bedroom with fellow housemate, Diane.
Elozonam’s emergence is coming just a day after Khafi got evicted.
