Cyclones, Hilton Magic Take Down No. 7 Kansas, 79-75

January 27th, 2024 by Asa Lucas

AMES, Iowa – Keshon Gilbert scored seven points in the final three minutes and Tre King netted 21 as No. 23 Iowa State (16-4, 5-2 Big 12) defeated No. 7 Kansas (16-4, 4-3 Big 12), 79-75 Saturday afternoon in Hilton Coliseum.

Gilbert joined the long list of Hilton Magic in this nail-biter. The Cyclones saw a 12-point second-half lead diminish to two (74-72) with less than a minute remaining. But with the shot clock winding down on ISU’s next possession, Gilbert drilled a deep trey to seal ISU’s eighth win over a Top-10 team in the last two seasons. He finished the game with 16 points.

King was also outstanding. The senior post drilled a career-high four 3-pointers for his first 20-point outing against a Big 12 team. King’s four triples was key, as the Cyclones made 14-of-30 behind the arc compared to Kansas’ 7-of-20 effort.

Curtis Jones had 13 of his 15 points in the second half, including all three of his 3-pointers.

Hunter Dickinson led the Jayhawks with 20 points and 15 boards.

The sheriff’s office says Andrew Michael York was driving northbound on M Avenue and 220th Street, when he lost control due to the roadway conditions. His vehicle entered the ditch and struck a road sign.

Iowa DPS: Parents identified from a 1996 newborn death investigation

News

January 27th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

LISBON, Iowa – Officials with the Iowa Department of Public Safety today (Saturday), issued a follow-up report on an investigation into the 1996 death of a newborn child.

Authorities say on November 10, 1996, the Cedar County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a deceased newborn at a rural farmstead at 14 Highway 30 near Lisbon, IA.  The caller reported the body of a newborn female had been found in a garbage bag in the barn.  Law enforcement responded to the scene and located a deceased newborn female as reported by the caller.  After an exhaustive investigation, the Cedar County Sheriff’s Office and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) were unable to identify the infant, her parents, or the circumstances surrounding her death.

The unidentified infant was ultimately named “Baby Jane Lincoln” as Highway 30 was previously known as the Old Lincoln Highway. The Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner performed an autopsy on Baby Jane and listed her cause of death to be “probable exposure” and the manner of death to be “undetermined.”

Recent advances in DNA testing have identified the parents of Baby Jane as Luke Dean Wilson (43 years old) and Samantha Light Hope (43 years old). The circumstances surrounding the death of Baby Jane remain under investigation and the public is encouraged to contact the Cedar County Sheriff’s Office should they possess any information that may assist in the investigation.

Additionally, the public is encouraged to contact the Iowa DCI Missing Person Information Clearinghouse at 515-725-6036 if they have any information related to any missing person or unidentified human remains investigation.

No further information will be released at this time.
