Body discovered near Diplomat Motel identified | News | pdclarion.com – pdclarion.com

OAKLAND CITY Gibson County Coroner Barrett Doyle said Thursday that the body of a woman discovered in a wooded area southwest of the Diplomat Motel near Oakland City Tuesday afternoon has been identified as Stephanie Coitrone, 43, who lived at the motel.

Doyle completed an autopsy Thursday morning, reporting that the manner and cause of death have not been established yet, pending results of toxicology tests.

Gibson County Sheriff Bruce Vanoven said authorities stayed at the scene of the discovery with Coitrones body Tuesday night, and her body was removed Wednesday morning by investigators.

This is an ongoing investigation. We will take our time and do it slowly because we want to do it right, he said. If it turns out that it is foul play, we will hold the people accountable who may have been involved. At this time, all cards are on the table. We are treating it like it is a foul play death until we find out otherwise, he said Wednesday.

Vanoven said Gibson County Central Dispatch received a call at about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, and Oakland City University Police Officer Michael McGregor and Oakland City Police Chief Tim Gaines were first at the scene. A deputy and medics were also dispatched. They called me and by the time I got there, they had already set up a crime scene investigation area. An evidence clerk was signing people in and out, said Vanoven.

I signed in to the scene and saw everyone, and pulled everyone back, he said. I stayed with the body until Indiana State Police sent someone to watch the scene.

Vanoven said he contacted Gibson County Sheriffs Office Detective Roger Ballard as a matter of protocol. He said Ballard and Indiana State Police consulted and a detective on project with the FBI came to help with the investigation.

We had the option to stay all night to make sure the scene was preserved, said Vanoven. We held the scene and monitored overnight.

He said crime scene investigators processed the discovery site and surrounding area Wednesday.

One of the good things about bringing in the FBI is that they have the resources to help us do this right, he said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact police.

Turkish police nabbed attacker behind IP offices in Istanbul: Soylu | Daily Sabah – Daily Sabah

Turkish security forces detained the perpetrator of an attack on the Good Party (IP) headquarters in Istanbul, as part of an ongoing investigation on Friday, Interior Minister Sleyman Soylu said.

A bullet hit the window of the cafeteria section of the IP's office in the Zeytinburnu district.

While police teams cordoned off the area around the spot, crime scene investigation teams initiated their work.

Soylu made the announcement as he responded to claims that the perpetrator would not be caught by police.

"Our duty is to nab perpetrators. Put your trust in your police and state. You'll feel ashamed otherwise," he said.

According to the Istanbul Governor's Office, the incident was reported by IP officials at 11 a.m. on Friday.

It was condemned widely by politicians in Trkiye.

Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairperson Kemal Kldarolu called for those responsible to be found and tried immediately.

Following the attack, IP leader Meral Akener visited the Istanbul office and held a news conference.

mer elik, the spokesperson for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) also condemned the attack and said, "We send our best wishes to the Good Party. We oppose harassment and attacks against political institutions in every form."

"It is important for the political establishment to take a determined and prudent stance against these attacks," elik wrote on Twitter. However, he said Akener accusing President Recep Tayyip Erdoan after the attack was an "irresponsible and provocative approach."

Erdoan's "threats" have led to the attack, Akener alleged while speaking to the media in front of her party's Istanbul headquarters.

AK Party Istanbul provincial head Osman Nuri Kabaktepe visited the IP office in Istanbul to offer condolences while condemning the attack.

"I would like to express our strong condemnation. We must and will continue to stand in the face of this and similar terrorist incidents and instances of violence without mercy," he said.

The Big Bang Theory: Whatever Happened To Alex Jensen? – Looper

After her time on "The Big Bang Theory," Margo Harshman stayed focused on television, first taking a guest role in "Bones" as Alison Kidman before co-starring as Lisa in the Amazon Studios series "Betas." The short-lived series ended after the first season, but by then she'd picked up the role of Delilah Fielding on "NCIS."

First mentioned in the Season 10 finale, Delilah is Tim McGee's (Sean Murray) girlfriend. She works for the Department of Defense, specializing in web and information security. A recurring character on the show, an incident in Season 10 left her paralyzed and she's been in a wheelchair ever since. She eventually married McGee, and the two are parents to twins. Delilah still sporadically shows up on episodes, with her most recent appearance in Season 20, Episode 9, and McGee is always excited when he gets to share the screen with her. "I love Margo Harshman," McGee told TVInsider. "She's fantastic. I've always loved the dynamic because it doesn't exist outside of their relationship."

Harshman has also had roles on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "How I Met Your Father," and co-starred in the 2015 film Toxin, and the 2017 TV movie "Love on the Vines." Her next project is Peter Cannon's "Exposure," a film about obsessive-compulsive disorder and exposure therapy.

Compared to other actors, Harshman prefers to stay out of the spotlight. She hasn't posted on Twitter in a decade, and she keeps her Instagram private.
