(AP) — Authorities in southeast Nebraska are trying to identify the body of a man found on the bank of the Missouri River.

The Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office says people fishing by the river north of Peru found the body Sunday. It’s unclear how long the body was in the water.

Sheriff Brent Lottman says deputies have contacted authorities in surrounding communities along Nebraska and Iowa to help identify the man. He declined to release additional information.

An autopsy has been ordered on the body, which was found two miles north of the Peru boat dock.

(AP) — The reward being offered to track down a man who tried to kidnap an 8-year-old girl from her bedroom in suburban Denver has been doubled to $20,000.

Police said Tuesday that a car dealership has added up to $10,000 to the reward previously offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.

The attempted abduction happened just after midnight Monday. Investigators say the girl screamed for help and was able to get away from the abductor just as her father ran outside to help her.

Police say the investigation remains very active and that detectives are following up on numerous leads.

(AP) — A research report says states can combat rising prison health care costs by expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, outsourcing and other measures.

The report released Tuesday by Pew Charitable Trusts says that correctional health care spending in the 42 states examined grew by an average of 52 percent between 2001 and 2008.

The report relied on numbers from the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, The year 2008 was the most recent available.

Researchers listed four ways that states could reduce those costs, including Medicaid expansion. Under that method, health care inside prison walls wouldn’t be covered but treatment provided to prisoners at hospitals would be eligible for reimbursement.

Critics of expansion say states shouldn’t transfer the responsibility for prisoner care to the federal government.

(AP) — A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pressing for a four-year delay to changes to the federal government’s flood insurance program that are threatening to sock thousands of people with unaffordable premium hikes.

The move comes as the government is beginning to implement a significant overhaul of the much-criticized program that passed last year with sweeping support. The reforms were backed by both liberals and tea party conservatives but have caused a panic in places like Staten Island and the New Jersey coast and in flood-prone areas along the Gulf Coast, where higher rates threaten to push some people out of their homes.

The new rules have sent some home values plummeting because of uncertainty over rates and because subsidized rates can’t be passed along to buyers.
