Arrest Made in Theft of Jackie Robinson Statue

Ricky Alderete has been arrested and charged with felony theft, aggravated criminal damage to property, identity theft, and making false information in connection with the theft and destruction of a Jackie Robinson statue in Wichita, Kansas. The statue, valued at $75,000, was stolen from McAdams Park and later found dismantled. The investigation has not revealed evidence of a hate-motivated crime, and police are committed to identifying all individuals involved. Donations have poured in to rebuild the statue, and MLB will cover the cost of creating a new one.

"34-year-old cold case in Wichita murder finally solved by police"

The Wichita Police Department has identified Paul Hart, who died in a traffic collision in 1999, as the suspect in the 1989 assault and death of Krista Martin. Despite DNA evidence being collected at the time, testing was not available, but it was preserved. After years of investigation and collaboration with genealogists, Hart was identified as the suspect through DNA samples from his direct relatives. The case remains unsolved as there is no known connection between Hart and Martin, and no murder weapon has been found. Charges would have been filed if Hart were still alive, but the case is now considered cleared.
