Sketch released of man wanted for rape of 12-year-old Renton, Washington girl.

Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to contact
Renton Police Department Detective Liberty Billingsley at
[email protected].

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male with dark hair,
between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, medium
build, and facial hair or stubble. Police noted that their only
sketch of the suspect is from 2009, so his hairstyle has
probably changed. They added that he may have wrinkles
or glasses.

(between 25 August and 31 October 1451 – 20 May 1506)


The first Columbus Day celebration took place on October
12, 1792, when the Columbian Order of New York, better
known as
Tammany Hall
, held an event to commemorate
the 300th anniversary of the historic landing.
 

In 1966, Mariano A. Lucca, from Buffalo, New York, founded
the National Columbus Day Committee, which lobbied to
make Columbus Day a federal holiday.      

These efforts were successful and legislation to create
Columbus Day as a
federal holiday
was signed by then
President Lyndon Johnson
(below) on June 28, 1968,
to be effective beginning in 1971.

OLDEST CHRISTIAN CHURCH UNCOVERED

Aerial of church reconstruction and ancient stone
Archaeologists developed a reconstruction image of what
the ancient church would have looked like.

Archaeologists recently uncovered what they believe to be one
of the
oldest Christian churches in the world.

The University of Münster announced the discovery of the fourth
-century church in a press release on Oct. 11.

The school, located in Germany, teamed up with archaeologists
from the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia to find the
ancient ruins.

The remains of the ancient Christian building were found at the
Artaxata site in the Ararat Plain. Excavators have been digging
there since 2018, but didn’t find the remains until recently.
