Man gets life in prison

Leemah Carneh was charged in 2001 with four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of a high school cheerleader, her boyfriend and his grandparents. Their bodies were found March 2001 in the grandparents' Des Moines home. Investigators said Carneh, who was 19 at the time, gunned down Mark's grandparents and hid their bodies then waited for Josie Peterson who he was obsessed with.

Original charges against Carneh were dismissed in 2005 and again in 2008 after doctors diagnosed him with paranoid schizophrenia and therefore not competent to stand trial. In 2009 a judge ruled he was competent to stand trial and charges were re-filed. Carneh said he is responsible for the killings.

He was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday.

Accident leaves one dead

A 43-year-old Seattle man was killed early Wednesday, Nov 18, in a crash on Interstate 5, and troopers are looking for witnesses to help solve what led to the crash. Washington State Patrol Trooper Dan McDonald said the man was in a Jeep on an exit ramp near Southcenter when he collided with a taxicab.

The impact caused the driver of the Jeep to veer into the main southbound lanes of I-5 where he was hit by another car. The Jeep rolled over and the driver died at the scene. His name has not been released. Troopers say the man was not wearing a seat belt. The people in the other vehicles were not seriously injured. It was not clear who was at fault in the initial collision between the taxi and the jeep, McDonald said.

He's asking for anyone who witnessed the crash or the moments leading up to the crash to Detective Ruth Medeiros at 425-401-7719. Three lanes of southbound I-5 were closed in the area for several hours while troopers investigated the crash.
