GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado family of four has been identified as the victims of a fatal small airplane crash.

Relatives on Sunday said in a statement that 47-year-old Jeff Makepeace, his 45-year-old wife, Jennifer, and their twin 10-year-old children, Addison and Benjamin, died in the crash late Friday.

The family from the city of Fort Collins was flying from a Fort Collins-area airport to Moab, Utah, when their single-engine plane crashed about in mountainous terrain near Glenwood Springs, Colorado about 170 miles (275 kilometers) west of Denver.

Federal authorities are investigating the cause of the crash of the Cirrus SR22. It’s a single-engine plane that can seat up to five passengers.

The statement says details of funeral services for the family are pending.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say they’re looking for a driver who rammed a police cruiser, injuring an officer who fired several shots at the car.

Police say the incident began shortly after 2:30 a.m. Thursday when a car collided with the police car. Investigators say that when Officer Jordan Smith went to get out of his cruiser after the crash, the other car rammed his driver’s side, injuring the officer’s legs. Police say Smith then fired three shots into the car, which sped off.

Police later found the car, which had been stolen, abandoned several blocks away. The driver has not been found, and no evidence was found indicating the driver was shot.

Smith was taken to a hospital, treated for his injuries and released.

GRETNA, Neb. (AP) — A woman has told authorities that a coyote snatched a 4-month-old puppy from the front yard of her suburban Omaha home.

Kari Olson said she hasn’t seen little Oreo since last week. She says the coyote raced into the yard and grabbed the Sheltie after Olson had accompanied the pup outside one night.

In July a coyote snatched a family’s Yorkie from the yard of an acreage west of Lincoln.

Olson says she heard yelps from the puppy as the coyote ran through a nearby lot and into a ravine. A Sarpy County sheriff’s deputy helped the Olson family search, but they found no sign of Oreo.

The family home sits about 3 miles (5 kilometers) north of Gretna, near the Douglas County line.

Hiner was arrested last year after Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies and FBI agents searched his home in July 2016.

Investigators say Hiner’s cellphone contained more than 125 images of child pornography, many of which depicted toddlers and preschool children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

Hiner will be supervised for five years following his release from prison and must register as a sex offender.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Elkhorn man accused of sending prostitutes to strip on his neighbor’s front porch over a three-year period has pleaded no contest to pandering.

In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dropped a second charge of soliciting prostitution.

Authorities say Goldsberry hired prostitutes to bare their breasts and strip on his neighbor’s porch while he watched from his house across the street.

The family with two small children reported that women had shown up as many as 75 times since 2013, exposing themselves and sometimes kicking the door and yelling for payment.
