LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska authorities say an inmate on death row for the 1985 cult killings of two people, including a 5-year-old boy, has died in custody.

Spokeswoman Jessica Houseman for the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution in southeast Nebraska confirmed Monday that 66-year-old Michael Ryan died in prison. Houseman said he died around 5:45 p.m. Sunday. She said an autopsy would be performed to determine the cause of death.

Ryan was convicted in the torture and killing of 26-year-old James Thimm at a southeast Nebraska farm near Rulo, where Ryan led a cult, and in the beating death of Luke Stice, the 5-year-old son of a cult member.

Ryan has been on death row since his convictions.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Three people were sent to a hospital after a fire that damaged a house in Lincoln.

Authorities say the blaze was reported around 4 a.m. Sunday.

Battalion Fire Chief Leo Benes says a carelessly discarded cigarette started the fire. Damage was estimated at $40,000.

Benes says at least one of the three people sent to be checked at a hospital had received minor injuries.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — It’s that time of the century again, when cicadas (sih-KAYE’-duhs) emerge and raise their racket.

This year the Kansas brood, which experts say is one of 12 cicada broods across the country, will come to adult life in part of eastern Nebraska, including Cass, Cuming, Douglas, Johnson, Otoe, Pawnee, Sarpy and Saunders counties.

Some species emerge every year, but others follow life cycles of three, seven, 13 and 17 years — all prime numbers.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln bug expert Leon Higley said the theory is that cicadas have life cycles corresponding to prime numbers so predator species have difficulty synchronizing their life cycles with the cicada life cycles.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska judge threw out a drunken driving case earlier this month because the arresting officer didn’t have enough evidence to begin with.

The decision allows Randall Mansfield to avoid a possible fourth driving while intoxicated conviction for the December 2013 incident.

Defense attorney Mark Rappl says the officer rushed to judgment about his client. Mansfield doesn’t deny that he was drinking that night, but he says he wasn’t driving.

Mansfield was running from his truck to a car that was giving him a ride when the officer encountered him. The officer thought Mansfield was running from him when he started talking to him.
