"Hundreds and hundreds of man-hours have gone into this case already," he said. |
Mansfield police Assistant Chief Keith Porch followed Sheldon to the podium. |
"On behalf of the Mansfield Police Department, we wish to say our prayers and thoughts are with the family of Patsy Hudson at this difficult time," he said. |
Porch noted there were four crime scenes. |
Dr. Dennis Dirkmaat is in charge of the applied forensic sciences department at Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania. He and a group of graduate students came to the county to assist Sunday. |
"Without their help, we could not have done this ourselves," Burwell said. "They expertly collected evidence. We'll be relying on DNA and X-ray evidence to come to our cause and manner of death and to identify the remains." |
Couch Page said that could take some time. |
"This case is not anywhere near concluded with where we're going to go with criminal charges," she said. |
The prosecutor also recognized the collaboration among agencies. |
Couch Page said the case has become personal. |
"A long time ago, I made a choice to fight for victims of these sorts of crimes," she said. "I believe the single most important thing we have to look at is that we seek justice for this family and also for Patsy Hudson." |
No family members attended Friday's press conference. Couch Page asked the media to give them privacy. |
"At the moment, they would like to be left alone," she said. |
Several media outlets from Cleveland and Columbus attended the 12-minute press conference. Couch Page deflected several questions, including whether Renz and Buckner confessed and led authorities to the sites where remains were recovered. |
"I cannot answer any questions with respect to the investigation," she said. |

Why do people speed? They’re late, it makes driving more exciting, it’s a habit – pick your reason. Whatever the reason, I’m willing to bet no one thinks, “I’m going to speed so that I can decrease my reaction time and increase the amount of damage if I get in a crash.” But those are two real results directly associate... |
We’ve looked at the data and confirmed that speeding is risky, but really, we already knew that. The real question asked above is, “Isn’t it time to get tough?” I’d love it if when I told people about risky driving behavior, everyone decided to become better drivers. Unfortunately, reality doesn’t conform to my wishes.... |
Traffic safety is a complex issue with many factors that include driver training, social attitudes, laws, enforcement, road engineering, vehicle condition and more. I know one weekend of extra enforcement isn’t going to solve all our traffic safety problems. But it’s a step in the right direction. |

One of Amarillo's most beloved, most unusual iconic locations gets another turn in the spotlight Friday. |
CBS News' "On the Road" segment makes another stop at Cadillac Ranch, about 37 years after original correspondent Charles Kuralt helped put the buried Caddies on the map. The segment airs at the end of the 5:30 p.m. "CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley" broadcast on cable channel 12. |
Steve Hartman traveled to Amarillo in late March to speak with Ranch founder and noted local art lover/eccentric Stanley Marsh 3 as part of a series of reports revisiting some of Kuralt's most famous stories. |
The Cadillac Ranch segment - filmed in 1975, shortly after the Cadillacs were first buried nose-first in the dirt - "was kind of a Kuralt classic," Hartman said this week. |
"There were a few stories that Charles Kuralt was really known for, and Cadillac Ranch and introducing America to that was one of those," Hartman said. |
In fact, when he was filming his interview with Marsh at the Ranch, Hartman also spoke to a tourist who said he remembered the Kuralt story. |
"Who remembers a news story from 37 years ago?" Hartman asked incredulously. "But it was that kind of story." |
Marsh said he was surprised CBS wanted to do a follow-up so many years later. He's convinced Kuralt helped make the Ranch a national phenomenon. |
"He certainly was a golden name, so it made (the Ranch) legitmate," Marsh said. "In my mind, Charles Kuralt made the Cadillac Ranch legitimate to cover as a national news story." |

It seems like the story of an atheist donating to a Baptist-run children’s charity is coming to an end. |
Last we heard, after the Murrow Indian Children’s Home rejected a $100 donation from Matt Wilbourn on behalf of the Muskogee Atheist Community (which he and his wife Keli co-founded) saying “it would go against everything they believe in,” he raised even more money on GoFundMe just to see if there was an amount they wo... |
The Children’s Home leadership eventually rejected an astonishing amount of money — roughly $25,000 — all because it was coming on behalf of an atheist organization and they didn’t want to publicly recognize it. |
From the very beginning, Matt had said if the Children’s Home continued to reject the money, he would give it to Camp Quest instead. And that’s what he announced yesterday, saying that the bulk of the funds would go to Camp Quest Oklahoma. |
Last night, Matt closed his fundraiser. It topped off at $28,280. |
This has become way more than two people can handle. It’s taken my focus away from school and work. The amount is way higher than what we originally had anticipated. I think everyone will be happy and if they’re not, that’s too bad. |
It’s safe to say Matt’s point has been made: There are some Christians who will refuse to help children if it means accepting the kindness of atheists. |
Yesterday, Matt posted an image of the $100 bill that the Children’s Home sent back to him. It cost them $6.47 to do it. |
Matt wrote, “We will now be sure to donate $5,106.47 to the Murrow Home.” He’ll do it anonymously. But if they don’t keep the money, he’ll just ask a local church to be the conduit. |
Who knew it’d be this much work to give away nearly $30,000? |

Sales of smartphones are expected to overtake those of laptops in the next 12 to 18 months as the mobile phone completes its transition from voice communications device to multimedia computer. |
Convergence has been the Holy Grail for mobile phone makers, software and hardware partners, as well as consumers, for more than a decade. |
And for the first time the rhetoric of companies like Nokia, Samsung and Motorola, who have boasted of putting a multimedia computer in your pocket, no longer seems far fetched. |
"Converged devices are always with you and always connected," said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Nokia chief executive at last week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. |
Last year Nokia sold almost 200m camera phones and about 146m music phones, making it the world's biggest seller of digital cameras and MP3 players. |
In the coming year the firm predicts it will sell 35 million GPS-enabled phones as personal navigation becomes the latest feature to be assimilated into the mobile phone. |
Nigel Clifford, chief executive of Symbian, said: "All of those single use devices - MP3 players, digital camera, GPS - are collapsing onto the phone." |
"We are going past the point where this was a phone with a few other things," he said. |
Symbian's operating system shipped on 188 million phones last year and a third of those came with GPS. |
"We see mobile phones evolving into multi-functional devices that now support consumer electronics, multimedia entertainment and mobile professional enterprise applications; all converging," said Luis Pineda, from mobile phone chip firm Qualcomm. |
Convergence is being driven by a combination of software, services and hardware. |
The first phones powered by a chip running at 1Ghz will hit the market later this year, seven years after the first desktop chip broke the gigahertz barrier. |
"It's a first in the industry for a wireless chipset," said Mr Pineda. |
As well as raw horsepower Snapdragon also features a dedicated application processor, as well as the ability to handle 12 megapixel digital photos and up to 720p high definition video imaging. |
Mr Clifford from Symbian said the mobile industry had to deliver multi-function devices which did not compromise. |
He said: "When we look at what is collapsing on to these devices and people's expectations with their experiences on single-use specialized devices there is going to be rising expectations." |
More than 90% of the world's mobile phones are powered by technology created by British firm Arm. It designs chip architectures that it licenses to semiconductors makers such as Qualcomm and Broadcom. |
Ian Drew from Arm said future mobile phones demanded ever more processing power. |
But building chips with greater processing was not a straightforward, he said. |
"If you look at a typical phone the first thing you have got to do is get within the half a watt envelope. |
"It needs to get into your pocket. And there's no fan. It needs to work for days rather than hours." |
He added: "When you start adding multi media experiences - such as 3D graphics, video, and games - there are two ways to do that: you can get bigger and bigger processors or you have multi core where you can switch off a processor when you don't need it." |
Arm is demonstrating a chip architecture, called Coretex A9, that will offer four cores, or processors, on a single chip. |
Symbian has been working with Arm on future uses for multi-core mobile phones. |
"You can use massive amounts of processing if you need it. But if you don't you can power down the cores that aren't required," said Mr Clifford. |
Symmetrical Multi Processing will drive the next generation of applications on a phone, he added. |
"Silicon vendors are looking very seriously at how they integrate SMP." |
Mr Clifford added: "The future of the internet and computing applications is not going to be in the home or at the office; it's going to be mobile." |
He said gaming would be the next feature to collapse into phones. |
"That is one of the next single usage devices that will start feeling the pressure from the mobile device," he said. |
3D graphics acceleration is becoming standard on many of today's mobile phones and specialists like Nvidia have joined the market. |
Mr Clifford said today's most powerful mobile phones, such as Nokia's N96 and NTTDoCoMo's 905 series have the same power as a laptop from 2000. |
Nvidia's APX 2500 chip has enough 3D graphics acceleration to handle Quake 3, a PC game from 1999, on a mobile phone. |
