(Alliance, Neb.)- An armed man who held law enforcement at bay for more than 14-hours, during a Tuesday, June 12 stand-off in downtown Alliance is believed to be responsible for the murder of 38-year old Joshua Bullock of Denver.
Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol say during the stand-off Andres Gonzalez, 27, Alliance, told negotiators that he had killed Bullock. Investigators believe Gonzalez killed Bullock on or around December 1, 2011 and that he disposed of his body in a remote area of Dawes County. Investigators will be searching the area for Bullock’s remains as they continue to piece together the incidents surrounding his death.
On Wednesday June 13, investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol arrested Gonzalez’s girlfriend. Rose Siefke, 19, Hemingford was taken into custody and lodged in the Box Butte County Jail on a charge of Being an Accessory to a Felony.
“Josh Bullock’s disappearance was an active case, but we had little information to go on” said Investigative Services Lt. Monica Bartling. “Our investigation will now focus on finding Josh’s remains and bringing some closure to his family and friends.”
Bullock’s burnt out pickup was found by a rancher in a ravine southeast of Chadron on December 14. 2011. The 38-year old with ties to the Alliance and Chadron areas was last seen the afternoon of December 1, 2011 after visiting family members in Alliance.
Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol, in conjunction with the Dawes and Box Butte County Sheriff’s Office had been investigating Bullock’s disappearance. His information had been entered into the Nebraska Missing Persons Clearinghouse and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, a “Help Find Josh Bullock” Facebook page was also established by friend and family.

AMBER PORTWOOD REPORTS TO PRISON: Amber Portwood is locked up. The Teen Mom star checked into an Indiana prison on Thursday (June 14th) to begin her five-year sentence stemming from her December drug arrest. A judge originally agreed to let Amber complete a drug program in lieu of the sentence — but Portwood eventually quit the treatment in favor of prison time.
AMANDA BYNES HAS PROOF SHE’S INNOCENT? Amanda Bynes reportedly has witnesses who will swear that she didn’t drink on the night she was arrested for DUI. Although Bynes was charged after allegedly hitting a Los Angeles police car, a source told the New York Post, “Amanda will have friends testify that she wasn’t drinking on the night in question and she can produce camera footage from locations she visited to back it up.” Last week the actress professed her innocence, tweeting, “Hey @BarackObama . . . I don’t drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don’t hit and run. The end.”
COURTENEY COX WANTS TO DROP ARQUETTE: Courteney Cox is ready to drop David Arquettefrom her life — and her name. The actress responded to David’s divorce filing, asking that his last name be legally dropped from her moniker. Both parties filed their paperwork within a minute of each other last Friday. The two have been separated for well over a year and have maintained a very friendly relationship.
JAIL FOR LUCY LAWLESS? Lucy Lawless might be facing prison time. The actress pleaded guilty on Thursday to trespassing, and had another charge of burglary dropped, stemming from when she and seven other Greenpeace New Zealand activists boarded an oil-drilling ship in February. The 44-year-old could be dealt three years in prison when she’s sentenced in September — but she told reporters she doesn’t expect she’ll be put behind bars, as she’s a first-time offender and the protest was peaceful.
ROB AND AMBER WELCOME THIRD DAUGHTER: Rob and Amber Mariano have welcomed their third child — and third daughter.

Amber explained the common middle name, telling People magazine, “Rob really liked the idea of all of our girls sharing the same middle name. Many cousins on his side also share Rose as their middle name.”

‘GAME OF THRONES’ PRODUCERS APOLOGIZE FOR GEORGE BUSH HEAD SCENE: HBO and the producers of Game of Thrones have apologized for a scene from the show in which former President George W. Bush’s severed head appears on a spike. The scene first aired last year, but it only became news now — as HBO began airing a documentary on Bush’s father, former President George H.W. Bush. It wasn’t obvious that Bush’s head was on the spike — as it was crowned with long, scraggly hair. However in DVD commentary, the producers pointed out the resemblance to Bush. They’ve since released a statement saying, “We meant no disrespect to the former president and apologize if anything we said or did suggested otherwise.”

Even if the Colorado Rockies had gotten a passable pitching performance, it wouldn’t have mattered in their eighth straight defeat. The Rockies mustered just three hits in the first eight innings of an 8-2 loss to the Oakland A’s at Coors Field. Rockies starting pitcher Alex White departed after just four innings, allowing four runs, though only two were earned on a day in which the Rockies did their struggling pitching no favors by making three errors. The Rockies remain the only team in the majors without a win in interleague play. They are 0-9 against American League teams so far. Another AL team lies ahead. The Rockies travel to Detroit for a three-game weekend series against the Tigers, which opens tonight. You can hear the game live on ESPN Radio 1410. Pregame coverage begins at 5:30 with the first pitch scheduled for 6:05.
