Body found near Kenai River On Oct. 21, Kenai Police received a report about a body discovered on the beach near Cook Drive in Old Town Kenai. After an investigation, the body was identified as 32-year-old Austin Struthers of Kenai. The Kenai Police Department says that Struthers fell from the top of the bluff, which is about 75 feet tall in that area. Police say there is no information to suggest that foul play was involved, but alcohol may have been a factor. The body has been transferred to the state medical examiner for an autopsy, and the investigation is ongoing. KDLL-FM 91.9 KENAI PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

7 people killed after more than 150 vehicles crashed along Louisiana's I-55 amid dense fog, officials say VIDEO: At least seven people were killed Monday in a slew of crashes along Interstate 55 in Louisiana's St. John the Baptist Parish that involved at least 158 vehicles, state police say. More than 25 people were taken to hospitals with injuries ranging from minor to critical, Louisiana State Police said in an evening news release. And many victims sought medical help on their own, authorities said. Meteorologists earlier said "super fog" had heavily impacted the area, just west of New Orleans, around the time of the pileups. Super fog is a thick fog that develops in damp, smoky conditions and can send visibilities plummeting to less than 10 feet, according to the National Weather Service. Some of the vehicles caught on fire after the initial crash, authorities said. CNN Related with Video: ‘Superfog’ created dangerous driving conditions along I-55, resulting in deadly pile-up Piece of Iowa firefighting history restored PHOTOS: The old hose reel on its tall, spindly wheels was state-of-the-art fire equipment when it first hit the streets in about 1879. It responded to its last fire call more than 100 years ago, and largely disappeared from view. Today, following a full restoration job, it occupies a place of honor in the Fort Dodge firehouse. It is a reminder of a time when hose reels like it were key to saving lives and property when fire broke out. Fire Chief Steve Hergenreter said it had been in storage at the Fort Museum and Frontier Village. He said he talked to museum Director Tim Morris about it. Morris, he said, "saw value in us taking it and restoring it." It was moved to the firehouse at 1515 Central Ave. in the spring, where it sat in the garage behind some of the modern fire trucks. Hergenreter contacted Curt Bacon, owner of Curt Bacon Body Shop in Fort Dodge, to get his input on restoring the wooden and cast iron reel. He said Bacon volunteered his services to restore it. THE MESSENGER - METERED SITE Four years after fire engulfed California scuba dive boat killing 34 people, captain's trial begins VIDEO: By the time the scuba dive boat sank off the Southern California coast after catching fire, 34 people had been killed in the deadliest maritime disaster in recent U.S. history. The Labor Day tragedy in 2019 spurred changes to maritime regulations, congressional reform and civil lawsuits. Now four years later, a federal trial for the Conception's captain, Jerry Boylan, is set to begin Tuesday with jury selection in Los Angeles. It's been a long, frustrating wait for the families of those who perished. They say a judge's ruling that their loved ones should not be called "victims" at trial has only added to their pain. "The past four years have been like living in a nightmare that you don't wake up from," said Kathleen McIlvain, whose 44-year-old son Charles was killed. The 75-foot boat was anchored off the Channel Islands, about 25 miles south of Santa Barbara, on Sept. 2, 2019, when it caught fire before dawn on the last day of a three-day excursion, sinking less than 100 feet from shore.
