A private search could involve cadaver dogs, drones mapping the vast and hilly area of the hollows, digging of the well and other measures in the coming months. Sean Smith, whose property is adjacent to the land once owned by Lucy Studey’s family, told Newsweek that he would participate in any future digging since some of the suspected sites are on his property. Smith dug out a section of the area to make a driveway so investigators could access the area....

His “oversight,” as he put it later, led to a long, strange on-field delay and embarrassment for the skipper. Ultimately, Roberts had to burn another reliever and may now be short in the ‘pen Sunday. Either that, or LA may need to make a roster move to cover itself. MORE: Power Rankings: Dodgers set pace as mediocrity rules What set these potential dominoes into motion?

Rose announced his retirement Tuesday after meeting with his BYU players. He told reporters at a press conference in Provo, Utah, how he came to his decision to step down after 14 seasons in charge of the program.

On October 28, 42-year-old David DePape broke into the San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and allegedly attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi, reportedly striking him with a hammer and fracturing his skull. DePape later allegedly told members of the San Francisco Police Department that he intended to take Nancy Pelosi hostage and break her kneecaps over what he perceived as lies from the Democratic Party. In the wake of the attack, details have emerged from DePape’s personal life, painting a picture of a man reportedly beholden to numerous right-wing conspiracy theories, both fringe and mainstream....

The Cardinals’ running back was one of many stars in Sunday’s 38-8 romp over Green Bay, turning his 12 touches into 127 yards and his 13th touchdown of 2015. Given he ripped the Eagles for 229 yards and three TDs just last week, the performance was hardly surprising.

It was confirmed by Bilbao on Wednesday that Kepa’s €80million release clause had been triggered, but Blues centre-back David Luiz believes the fee is immaterial. Kepa is expected to become Chelsea’s number one with Thibaut Courtois edging closer to a move to Real Madrid. David Luiz expressed his admiration for Kepa, telling reporters: “He is a great keeper, that is why everybody is talking about him. “The financial side - every club in the world spends money, not just Chelsea....

Based on the numbers, the White Sox present the best stacking opportunity in the early games, but you can use plenty of Reds (vs. Aaron Blair) and Braves (vs. Daniel Wright), too. For the late games, the Rangers, A’s and Padres offer favorable stacking options despite some unfavorable ballparks.

For the early games, the numbers point heavily to Yankees, Dodgers, Marlins, and Padres stacks, and with both Clayton Kershaw (at ARI) and Stephen Strasburg (vs. CHC) starting, you can bet many will be mining the aforementioned teams heavily since there won’t be as many D-backs or Cubs in lineups. In the early evening games, the Mariners and White Sox offer great stacking opportunities, but it’s likely that the most popular stacks won’t necessarily be splits-based....

The only significant weather concern today is in Cincinnati where the Pirates and Red will do battle. If the game does start on time, it should have enough of a window to get played in full. Take advantage of the 20-plus mph winds blowing out to right field if it does go. MORE DAILY FANTASY: Optimal lineup | Pitcher rankings | Hitter starts/sits | Play FanDuel MLB!

I was burned for not having enough Hopkins exposure on FanDuel, mainly because I was drawn to cheaper options like Julian Edelman, Larry Fitzgerald, Eric Decker, and Allen Robinson. Even though almost the entire Houston offense moves through Arian Foster and Hopkins, I was using Foster in half my cash games and did not want to use him and Hopkins, as an RB and WR from the same team are negatively correlated....

But NASCAR’s most popular driver did chime in, though, on the biggest sports news of the day. Seems that Dale Earnhardt Jr. is more worried about his Charlotte Hornets than James and the Cavaliers. The Hornets have signed free agent forward Gordon Hayward to an offer sheet, but the Utah Jazz are expected to match the $63 million offer. The Hornets will then have to turn their attention to other free agents....
