Behind the Headlines: Rep. Mia Love calls on Ben McAdams to withdraw; 4 women seek a special prosecutor for sex assault cases; and an unsolved murder highlights cold case investigations

(Courtesy) An edition of The Militant, a Socialist Workers Party newsletter, demands an independent investigation of the slaying of activist Anthony Adams, whose 1978 murder remains unsolved 40 years later.

Rep. Mia Love says the Federal Election Commission has cleared her of illegal fundraising and that her challenger, Ben McAdams, is unethical and should withdraw from the race. Also, four women ask the Utah Supreme Court to assign a special prosecutor to sexual assault cases that the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s office declined to pursue. And the story of an unsolved murder from 1978 shows how evidence is maintained — and how cold cases are investigated today.
