🖐️ Anyone missing a murderer?

🚨 The Mysterious Case of the Missing Murderer

Ever lose track of something? Or someone? A convicted murderer went missing for more than a year before the Nevada prison system noticed. Jeremy Kelly was taken back into custody on February 16 after being “mistakenly and incorrectly” released in mid-2022. The matter only resurfaced because Kelly had a parole hearing coming up last month. [KLAS]

🗳️ Coding Error Blamed for Voting Record Confusion

Even if you didn’t vote in the recent primary, online records might’ve shown your ballot was counted. The Nevada Secretary of State’s office says a coding error was to blame, but the problem has been corrected and no fraudulent votes were cast due to the issue. The Nevada Republican Party stopped short of calling the whole thing sus, and is moving ahead with an investigation of its own in response to complaints. [Nevada Independent]

🍸 Martini Bar Included?

Oscar Goodman had the best solution years ago but was turned down. He wanted to convert the prison in Jean to housing for the homeless and provide all necessary services including security, private housing, education, job training, fresh food, clean clothes, and transportation into town for medical needs or to work. It was shot down by the homeless advocates. To this day they do not have a better solution.
