A convicted serial killer imprisoned in Colorado may be responsible for a 1998 cold case murder recently revived by Utah authorities.

Investigators announced Tuesday circumstantial evidence in the killing points to Scott Kimball, who is serving a 70-year sentence after he confessed to four murders, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Kimball is believed to have killed about 25 people. He has previously denied involvement in other cold-case killings.

Kimball was released from federal prison in 2002 to serve as a paid FBI informant. The four murders occurred after he was released from prison, the Denver Post reported.

Authorities said they're also still trying to identify the woman whose body was found in southeastern Utah near Lake Powell on April 20, 1998. DNA indicates the woman was of Native American or Hispanic descent. Known as the "Maidenwater victim," the woman was believed to be between the age of 37 and 45. She weighed about 112 pounds and had brown hair and brown eyes, FOX13 Utah reported.

Authorities found the victim covered in plastic bags tied up with a rope before she was wrapped in a carpet. State Bureau of Investigation Agent Brian Davis said a complicated rope knot was similar to one used on a victim of Kimball's, and a child's play rug matched one Kimball's son had at the time. Investigators also determined Kimball was in Utah around the time of the slaying.

"Maybe one of these cases is a domino effect," Davis said. "If we can solve one of these cases and link to Kimball, maybe it solves another one and another one."

FEMA test of 'presidential alert' to go out Wednesday to 225 million electronic devices

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A nationwide wake-up call of sorts is scheduled to take place Wednesday afternoon, as the Federal Emergency Management Agency conducts its "presidential alert" test.

Roughly 225 million electronic devices across the U.S. will sound off at 2:18 p.m. ET for a "Presidential Alert" that will read: "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed."

The alert test, which is FEMA's first for the wireless emergency system -- and is being coordinated with the Federal Communications Commission -- will sound similar to an Amber Alert or flood watch warning.

The alert will appear as long as the device is on, and may also show up on smartwatches, according to officials.

The Department of Homeland Security posted a reminder about the test on Twitter on Tuesday, and reassured phone users that their numbers are not being shared with anyone.

FEMA officials estimate nearly 75 percent of all mobile phones in the country, including major carriers, will receive the alert. There will also be a television broadcast and radio alert at 2:20 p.m. EDT, which has been tested for several years.

While users can choose not to participate in messages of missing children and natural disasters, they are required to receive presidential alerts, which are sent out at the direction of the White House and activated by FEMA.

Rules outlined in a 2006 law states that the White House can issue a presidential alert only if the public were in peril, or during national emergencies. The alert cannot be a personal message on behalf of the president.

The wireless alert system launched in 2012.

A group of New Yorkers is suing to be able to opt out of the alert, claiming it infringes on their First Amendment rights.

Trump mocks Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At a raucous rally in Southaven, Mississippi, Tuesday night, President Trump mocked Christine Blasey Ford, who testified before Congress last week that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexual assaulted her when they were both in high school.

"I had one beer. Well you think? Nope, it was one beer. How did you get home? I don't know remember. How did you get there? I don't remember. Where is the place? I don't remember. How many years ago was it? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know," President Trump said, imitating Blasey Ford's testimony to the cheers of the crowd at the rally.

Trump, who last week referred to Ford as a "very credible witness," continued in his impression: "What neighborhood was it in? I don't know. Where's the house? I don't know, upstairs, downstairs, where was it? I don't know, but I had one beer, that's the only thing I remember."

As the president accused the Democrats of having been attempting to destroy Kavanaugh since "the very first second he was announced," the crowd broke into chants of support for the Supreme Court nominee.

"We want Kavanaugh, we want Kavanaugh," the crowd chanted.

The president warned about a dangerous and "damn sad situation" in the country where a man's life can be destroyed over accusations over misconduct and are assumed guilty instead of innocent.

He then launched into an impression of a young man talking to his mom about accusations being leveled against him.

"Mom a terrible thing just happened, a person who I've never met said that I did things that were horrible, and they're firing me from my job, mom, I don't know what to do, mom, what do I do? What do I do?"

Trump continued: "Think of your son. Think of your husband. I've had so many false accusations."

The president opined that he has had his own fair share of accusations, but resigned that as president, he will be subject to greater scrutiny.

"I've had many false accusations, and when I say it didn't happen no one believes me, but it's my job description," Trump said. "They can say anything they want but we can't sue them, because if you're famous you can't sue, figure that out."

Ford's attorney blasted Trump following his comments at Tuesday's rally.

"A vicious, vile and soulless attack on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Is it any wonder that she was terrified to come forward, and that other sexual assault survivors are as well? She is remarkable profile in courage. He is a profile in cowardice," Michael Bromwich wrote on Twitter.

Police are building up their presence in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood after two men were shot dead one day after another, apparently by the same gunman who wore a mask in the first shooting, authorities said.

Police determined that the Sunday and Monday slayings were committed with the same weapon and likely by the same individual, authorities said. Investigators are pleading with the public to help find the suspect.

In the first attack, a man was walking his dog Sunday when a suspect in a mask approached and shot him dead, police said. The victim, 73-year-old Douglass Watts, had a gunshot wound to the head, ABC Chicago station WLS-TV reported.

The next day, just blocks away, Eliyahu Moscowitz, 24, was fatally shot in the head, according to WLS.

The shootings appeared to be random, police said, adding that nothing was taken from either victim and the motive unclear.

"There's nothing that leads us to believe these two individuals are connected in any way," police said Tuesday.

Police were still reviewing surveillance video of Monday's killing, authorities said Tuesday, so it was unclear whether the suspect wore a mask in the second killing.

Chicago Police Department

"Today we're mourning the loss of two Rogers Park residents," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said at a Tuesday news conference. "Two men, different ages and backgrounds, whose lives ended with the same gun used. The deaths were senseless and tragic. As a city, our hearts especially go out to their families whose own lives have been torn apart."

Lakewood Chapel Pastor John Elleson, who saw Moscowitz's body after the shooting, told WLS, "He is laying there with the rain coming down. And if it was my son or my relative, I would just want someone to stand with them during this time. ... I just find my heart breaking."

The Chicago office of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said it "will use all available resources" to help solve the killings.

"Your safety is our main concern," ATF Chicago tweeted. "If you know something, say something."

Emanuel called Rogers Park residents strong and resilient and assured them, "your city is standing with you."

"The person or persons responsible will be brought to justice," police vowed at Tuesday's news conference. "There's someone out there who knows who this person is. Whether it's a family member, a friend, a trusted loved one, we need you to do the right thing and call the police."

Anyone with information can call the police at (312) 744-8200.

A volcano erupted Wednesday on the same central Indonesian island struck last week by a powerful earthquake and tsunami, and authorities warned planes about volcanic ash in the air.

Add Volcanoes as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Volcanoes news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

A volcano erupted Wednesday on the same central Indonesian island struck last week by a powerful earthquake and tsunami, and authorities warned planes about volcanic ash in the air.

Mount Soputan on Sulawesi island spewed a massive column of ash more than 6,000 meters (19,700 feet) into the sky. No evacuations were immediately ordered.

A government volcanologist said it's possible the eruption was accelerated by the magnitude 7.5 earthquake that struck on Friday.

"It could be that this earthquake triggered the eruption, but we have seen an increase in volcanic activity since July and this began surging on Monday. Yet we can't say there a direct link, as the mountain is quite far away," Kasbani, the head of Indonesia's Volcanology and Geology Disaster Mitigation Agency, said on local television.

Kasbani, who uses one name, said planes have been warned to avoid the area.

Nazli Ismail, a geophysicist at the University of Syiah Kuala in Banda Aceh on Sumatra island stressed there was no concrete evidence to show the two incidents are linked.

"People talk about the butterfly effect. The concept is that when a butterfly flaps its wings, it can cause a catastrophe," he said. "So it is possible for the earthquake to trigger the volcano eruption, but it's not conclusive. This needs to be further investigated."

Danny Hillman Natawidjaja, a geologist with Indonesia's Institute of Science, echoed the views, saying there was not enough data to make a link.

"In principle, the seismic waves from the earthquake could increase pressure in the volcano's magma chamber and could cause an eruption. We don't know for sure," he said. He cited the example of the eruption of Mount Talang volcano in Indonesia's Sumatra province in April 2005, which geologists have said was connected to the devastating December 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.

Ismail said the Soputan volcano eruption isn't surprising as Indonesia sits on the seismically active Pacific "Ring of Fire," and Soputan is one of the most active volcanoes on the island.

Soputan's eruption status was raised from an alert to standby 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from the summit and up to 6.5 kilometers to the west-southwest. Standby status means the public should avoid the area nearest the volcano and have masks available in the event of ash fall.

Planes were warned of the ash clouds because volcanic ash is hazardous for their engines.

National disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho dismissed concerns that the volcano's eruption could affect planes transporting aid and supplies to the quake disaster areas. The earthquake set off a tsunami and devastated several communities, with the official death toll rising Wednesday to 1,407 and expected to increase further. Thousands of others are injured and more than 70,000 have been displaced from their homes.

Nugroho said volcanic ash is not heading to the city of Palu, where most of the victims from the quake and tsunami are from, as the wind is blowing in another direction. He said it hasn't disrupted plane services or affected any evacuations from the disaster areas.

Nugroho denounced videos that had appeared on social media allegedly showing villagers fleeing from billowing black smoke from the volcano and a long smoldering lava river as a hoax. He said so far no lava has spewed out from Soputan. No injuries or deaths have been reported and there is no need for any evacuation at the moment, he added.

Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 250 million people and government seismologists monitor more than 120 active volcanoes.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone announced Wednesday that running back Leonard Fournette will not play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a hamstring injury.

The second-year player has been limited by hamstring injuries throughout the early part of the season, as he missed the team's Week 2 and Week 3 games before aggravating the ailment in Week 4.

As a result, Fournette only has 71 rushing yards and four receptions for 19 yards through two games this season.

After also missing three games as a rookie, there are now serious questions about the running back's ability to stay on the field.

When healthy, Fournette has the tools to be a dominant force in the backfield. The 2017 No. 4 overall pick had 1,090 rushing yards and nine touchdowns during his rookie year.

But the Jaguars will once again have to play without him, putting more pressure on quarterback Blake Bortles and the rest of the offense.

T.J. Yeldon should get the majority of carries with Fournette unavailable, while Corey Grant will likely also earn some extra snaps.

Yeldon has been solid this season in place of Fournette, racking up 205 yards and one touchdown on the ground to go along with 14 catches for 125 yards and two scores.

With Fournette out, Yeldon will have a chance to feast on Kansas City's 28th-ranked rush defense.

In Florida a Burger King customer bought a whopper but left him in shock and nauseous after taking a few bites into the sandwich and biting into a cockroach.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Burger King customer in Florida said he is still waiting for the fast food chain to make right an Whopper of an incident that he said left him "mortified" - and nauseous for days.

Brian Garmon, of Panama City, claims he bit into a dead cockroach after just three bites of his Whopper hamburger, during a recent visit to the restaurant with three friends.

"I was fed a roach in my burger last [Saturday] @ one of your locations," Garmon wrote on Twitter. "I only know because I found half of it while eating."
MCDONALD'S EMPLOYEE ACCUSED OF PUTTING PEROXIDE-BASED CLEANER IN COP'S DRINK
According to a detailed Facebook post he shared a week after the incident, Garmon said he caught sight of the half-roach while enjoying the meal with his group, all of whom were as shocked as he was.

"I spoke to the manager and district trainer, who were apologetic. They offered to refund the meal, which is fine (though frustrating that I have to go back to get it), and I was told I'd be contacted by their insurance company Monday or Tuesday about the incident," Garmon wrote.

In the meantime, Garmon claims he vomited that day and the next, and felt queasy for "several days."

In a response to Fox News, Garmon said the fast food chain never followed-up with him about the September 22 incident.

"I never received a call Tuesday, so I reached out to the district trainer again, who said she'd reach out to corporate," Garmon said.

Garmon said he went to the media about the incident because he never got a response from Burger King and felt the corporate offices weren't taking him seriously.

"Thursday afternoon I was interviewed by WMBB and went back to the store to get my refund. On Thursday evening, I received initial contact from BK's insurance company," Garmon said. However, he claims the company was supposed to contact him with a potential solution Monday and never did.

Garmon, who told WMBB that he "heaved a little bit" after the discovery, believes he ingested part of the roach.

"I absolutely believe I ingested part of the roach. This was evident to me by the piece of the roach that I had apparently bitten off in the process of eating. In the picture I took it looks like I bit the head off," he told Fox News.

Though Burger King did not respond to Garmon's additional requests, the fast food chain released a statement to WMBB regarding the incident.

"We prepare our food with care and take complaints like this seriously," reads the statement obtained by the outlet. "We understand that as soon as this matter was raised, the Manager of this location apologized to this guest and offered them a new meal. We can confirm this is an isolated incident and we are working with the franchise who owns and operates this location as well as our supplier to ensure our high standards for food safety and operations are being followed."

FEMA will test its 'Presidential Alert' system Wednesday afternoon, sending notifications to almost every cell phone in the U.S.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Don't worry, it's just President Trump texting you.

At 2:18 p.m. Wednesday, Trump will instruct the Federal Emergency Management Agency to send an alert to every cell phone in the United States: "Presidential Alert: This is a test of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed."

"The President will not originate this alert, say, from his mobile device," a senior FEMA official said on a conference call Tuesday. "You would not have a situation where any sitting president would wake up one morning and attempt to send a particular message."

Instead, the alert system is expected to be used in emergency situations, like a "coordinated attack on our major cities across the country" or "some other type of public peril that is ongoing in the country at the time."

FEMA said in a press release that the notification will be sent through the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) and Emergency Alert System (EAS), the same systems used for Amber Alerts and weather warnings.

There's no way to turn the alert off; any cell phone that is turned on and within range of an active cell tower will receive the notification.

Last week, three New Yorkers filed a lawsuit against Trump and FEMA administrator Brock Long, claiming the alert violates the First and Fourth Amendment rights "to be free from Government-compelled listening, as well as warrantless, non-consensual trespass into and seizure of their cellular devices."

"The Presidential Alert system, which is compulsory and cannot be opted out of, violates these rights because it is tantamount to hijacking private property for the purpose of planting a Government-controlled loudspeaker in the home and on the person of every American," plaintiffs Jason Nicholas, Kristine Rakowsky and Liane Nikitovich said in the lawsuit.

iPhones can be turned into a bodycam now to record police. One user developed a way to turn iPhones into a civillian of a bodycam, letting other iPhone owners, capturn police interactions in a private manner.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Apple introduced iOS 12 following its historic iPhone event last month, adding the Shortcut app to let users allow Siri to do more tasks, such as take a photo, put your phone in 'Do not disturb' mode or making your commute more enjoyable. But one creative user has developed a way to turn iPhones into the civilian version of a bodycam, letting users record their interactions with police in a sly manner.

Reddit user Robert Petersen has created the shortcut called Police, which triggers a series of actions. First, it lets users send a text message to a predetermined friend to let them know they are being pulled over. Then it pauses the music that might be playing in their phone and gets access to the camera to start recording the interaction. It also sets the phone in 'Do not disturb' mode.

Users need to say "Hey Siri, I'm getting pulled over" and the shortcut triggers automatically.
APPLE WATCH WILL CALL FOR HELP IF YOU FALL
Speaking with Business Insider, Petersen said it could be "the civilian equivalent" a police body cam.

"It seemed to me that if you're getting pulled over it couldn't hurt to have a recording of the incident," Petersen told the news outlet. "The police these days in many places have bodycams, so this could be the civilian equivalent."

As an example, the text message that will be sent to a friend could say something like: "I'm getting pulled over. My current location is ... (Latitude:..., Longitude: ...)

If a user gives the shortcut permission to access their location, it will automatically fill in the location, latitude and longitude information.

From there, the iPhone will start recording using the front-facing camera. Once the recording is stopped, the video can be sent to their Dropbox account or iCloud account via email or text.

The shortcut can be accessed here.

Donald Trump gave the Congressional Medal of Honor to Staff Sergeant Ronald J Shurer for risking his life to save a lot of American and Afghan soldiers while fighting terrorists. The Medal of Honor is the highest military award someone can get.

President Trump awarded the Medal of Honor Monday to Ronald J. Shurer, an Army medic credited with saving the lives of his teammates during a 2008 battle in Afghanistan.

Now, Shurer faces another battle: Trump said during the ceremony that Shurer has been battling lung cancer for the past year and a half.

"He's braved, he's battled, he's worked, he's done everything he can," President Trump said. "He's been fighting it every single day with courage, with strength, and he's a warrior."

Amid his fight with cancer, Shurer continues to serve his country, as part of the United States Secret Service Counter Assault Team, which protects the president from possible attacks.

"Today is a truly special day for us here in the White House, because Ron works right here alongside us," Trump said.

He described calling Shurer and his wife Miranda into the Oval Office to inform them Ron would be receiving the nation's highest military honor. "It was a moment I will never forget," Trump said.

Shurer was awarded the medal for his actions during the Battle of Shok Valley. In the early morning hours on April 6, 2008, Shurer was one of the last U.S. Special Forces soldiers to exit a Chinook helicopter and land in the Shok Valley of eastern Afghanistan. There was a moment of quiet as the soldiers began to scale a steep hill - when suddenly everything around Shurer exploded.

According to a U.S. Army narrative of what happened next, Shurer's unit took heavy fire, including rocket-propelled grenades, small-arms and machine-gun fire. The forward assault team became pinned down and sustained multiple injuries. That's when Shurer sprang into action. Disregarding his own safety, Shurer sprinted through the fire to reach the forward team and treat the wounded.

Shurer's heroic actions, moving through heavy gunfire multiple times to provide aid to the wounded, saved the lives of all the U.S. soldiers injured in the battle. Shurer is the 11th U.S. Army soldier to receive the Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan and the 15th overall from that war.

Though the White House and Department of Defense have recognized Shurer's heroism, he still gives all credit to his fellow teammates.

"I truly want to dedicate this to the men ... who served with me out there. Without them, this medal wouldn't have been possible, it's truly a team effort," Shurer told the press after the ceremony.

A legacy of service

Shurer grew up no stranger to military service. His grandfather was a World War II veteran. His parents were both airmen, and he spent the first few years of his life moving around the country until his family was stationed at McChord Air Force Base in Washington state, where Shurer went to high school.

Shurer attended Washington State University and was in the middle of a graduate program when the events of September 11, 2001, inspired him to join the Army in 2002.

Two years later, Shurer began the process to become a Green Beret. He deployed twice to Afghanistan before being honorably discharged in 2009.

"Unlike anything we'd ever faced before"

During that second deployment to Afghanistan, Shurer was part of Operational Detachment Alpha from the 3rd Special Forces group paired with several dozen Afghan commandos, sent to kill or capture terrorist leaders of the militant group Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin in Shok Valley.

As militants rained fire down on Shurer's unit, he heard someone shouting his name. Shurer ran to then-Staff Sgt. Ryan Wallen, a friend who had a shrapnel injury in his neck.

The battle raged on. "We don't go out on a mission where we don't expect to meet some resistance, but this was unlike anything we'd ever faced before," Shurer said.

In order to reach the pinned down forward team, Shurer fought his way across several hundred meters, killing multiple militants along the way. When he reached the unit, he treated four critically wounded U.S. soldiers and 10 Afghan soldiers.

At one point, a bullet went through one soldier's arm and struck Shurer's helmet. "It felt like I'd been hit in the head with a baseball bat," Shurer said.

"But Ron was not done yet. He charged back to the mountain, all the way up, and rejoined the fight. Not a single American died in that brutal battle, thanks in great measure to Ron's heroic actions," Trump said.

Shurer provided aid and helped suppress the enemy fire for five and a half hours. Eventually, Shurer devised a plan to use some nylon webbing to lower the wounded soldiers who could not walk down a near-vertical 60-foot cliff to evacuate them. He shielded the casualties with his own body.

"We used tubular nylon webbing to kind of wrap it around the guy's shoulders and lower them down to the next group. We did it as carefully as we could, to not cause further injury. And then, we just kind of repeated that process down the hill," Shurer described.

Thanks to Shurer's actions, all the U.S. soldiers made it out of the battle alive. Two Afghan commandos were killed, including the team's interpreter, Edris Khan. Shurer's younger son's middle name is Edris, in honor of the fallen interpreter.
