Missouri sets execution date for second death row inmate this year
The Missouri Supreme Court on Wednesday set a June execution date for David Hosier, who is on death row for killing a Jefferson City woman in 2009.
MISSOURI SETS EXECUTION DATE FOR MAN ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING COUSIN’S CORPSE AFTER KILLING HER
Hosier is scheduled to die by injection at 6 p.m. June 11 at the state prison in Bonne Terre, Missouri. It is the second execution in the state scheduled for this year. Brian Dorsey is scheduled to be put to death April 9 for killing his cousin and her husband in 2006.

Hosier, 69, was sentenced to death for killing Angela Gilpin. He had a relationship with Gilpin while she was separated from her husband, who also was shot to death in her Jefferson City apartment.
Hosier claimed in an appeal that his trial attorney was inadequate, and that the trial judge had a conflict of interest. The Missouri Supreme Court turned aside that appeal in 2019.
Messages were left Wednesday with Hosier’s attorney.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — A Minneapolis woman who was paralyzed weeks before her wedding is rebuilding her life after receiving a second heart transplant.
Tannhauser later received a successful heart transplant April 3, according to People.
It was her second heart transplant.
Tannhauser’s heart problems began when she was a child. According to a profile by Abbott, she was diagnosed with an irregular heart rhythm at age 8 and underwent more than 10 surgeries over the next five years.
She received her first heart transplant on Sept. 7, 2011, when she was 17, Abbott said.
After that transplant, Tannhauser earned a biomedical engineering degree and went on to work with Abbott’s vascular team as a field clinical specialist, helping with cardiovascular clinical trials, according to the company.
Now, the fundraiser is helping Tannhauser and Pfaff pay for medical bills, rehabilitation, accessible housing, and transportation.
The Indianapolis Colts kick off their three-day mandatory minicamp on Tuesday following the conclusion of their voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) period, which wrapped late last week.
With the second wave of NFL free agency underway, where do the Colts stand in terms of positional spending for the 2026-27 season? Colts On SI breaks down their place amongst the rest of the league on offense, defense, and special teams.
After already covering the offensive side of the ball, this article will cover both the defense and special teams when it comes to positional spending compared to the rest of the league.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at how many resources the Colts are spending on its defense (and special teams unit).
Note: All numbers reflected are cap hits via Spotrac.
Defense – $132.34 million (No. 8 in the NFL)
The Indianapolis Colts are spending the 8th-most among all NFL teams on their defense for the upcoming season.
General manager Chris Ballard is going as all-in as possible for Lou Anarumo’s defense, and with the 7th-most cap space remaining ($31.9 million), he could continue strengthening the defensive roster by adding a proven veteran before the regular season arrives.
EDGE – $15.22 million, 4.93% of the cap (No. 26)
The Colts’s defensive end room is made up of players on rookie contracts who are expected to take the next step in Laiatu Latu and Jaylahn Tuimoloau, veteran rotational pieces in Arden Key and Michael Clemons, and rookies who have yet to step foot on an NFL field in Day 3 (rounds 4-7) picks George Gumbs Jr. and Caden Curry.
Still, the four non-rookies in question each have a 2026 cap numbers that sits in the 12-22 range as far as most expensive hits go. The Colts aren’t skipping out on adding a big-time contributor, but rather are betting on Latu to emerge into stardom.
General manager Chris Ballard could (and probably should) add another veteran edge defender to the mix before the regular season arrives, but as of now the Colts are prepared to move forward with their rotation as is.
Defensive Tackle – $47.64 million, 15.43% of the cap (No. 9)
The Colts’ defensive tackle room is as strong as its been in the Ballard era thanks to its new-look depth behind the star duo of DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart.
The 32-year-old duo of Buckner and Stewart has held down the interior defensive line for the past several seasons, and now post two of the biggest cap hits on the roster. Buckner’s $26.6 million cap hit is the team’s biggest number, while Stewart’s $14.25 million hit is the 7th-most and is the last year of his current deal.
Meanwhile, fourth-year tackle Adetomiwa Adebawore has blossomed into a legitimate pass rusher, and newcomer Colby Wooden, whom the Colts got in return for longtime leader Zaire Franklin, is expected to be the best depth the aforementioned duo has had since they teamed up ahead of the 2020 season.
Linebacker – $15.90 million, 5.15% of the cap (No. 25)
As expected, the Colts are paying pennies for its linebacker room this season. This comes after a full-blown overhaul of the position room, a strategic effort that resulted in the Colts adding youth and speed to its front seven.
Second-round pick CJ Allen is expected to be Lou Anarumo’s green dot as a rookie, while veteran Akeem Davis-Gaither, third-year player Jaylon Carlies, and rookie Bryce Boettcher will battle it out for the WILL linebacker role.
Davis-Gaither’s $2.725 million cap hit is the highest number of the room, whereas Allen’s $1.659 million cap hit is second.
Cornerback – $41.72 million, 13.51% of the cap (No. 5)
General manager Chris Ballard traded the farm for superstar cornerback Sauce Gardner at the 2025 trade deadline to pair alongside Charvarius Ward Sr., and now the star-studded duo is poised to continue what they started in their two games together in 2025.
Like the duo of DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart, Gardner and Ward both have Top 10 cap hits for the 2026 season. Ward’s cap hit is the third-most on the team at $19.89 million, a jump back to typical AAV after his first year with the Colts was just $9 million.
Gardner’s first full season with the Colts will operate simliarly to Ward’s, as his 9th-biggest cap number in 2026 ($9.5 million) will soon replicate his actual value when his cap numbers will more than double after this season. The Colts are able to employ such a star-studded duo thanks to this minor cap manipulation, and now they hope the pairing will take them the distance.
Safety – $27.76 million, 8.99% of the cap (No. 6)
The Colts let Nick Cross walk in free agency to replace him via an aggregate of players, but they’re still paying top dollar thanks to Cam Bynum’s presence in the defensive backfield.
Bynum’s $15 million cap hit for 2026 is the 6th-highest number on the roster, but the Colts are more than happy to pay a premium for the luxury that is him leading the charge from the backend.
Indianapolis is anticipating third-round pick safety A.J. Haulcy to ultimatley earn the opening at strong safety, but second-year defender Hunter Wohler and veteran safety Juanyeh Thomas won’t make it easy on him.
Special Teams – $6.73 million (No. 14 in the NFL)
Kicker – $2.57 million, 0.83% of the cap (No. 15)
Punter – $2.55 million, 0.83% of the cap (No. 10)
Long Snapper – $1.61 million, 0.52% of the cap (No. 10)
It’s impressive that the Colts are only paying the 15th-most at the kicker position, considering they’re currently rostering two placekickers, both of whom were near-perfect on field goal attempts during their respective runs with the team last season.
Spencer Shrader is expected to earn his job back after having his season ended early with a complete ACL/MCL tear, but Blake Grupe is just as determined to continue his upward trajectory with the team that gave him his most recent opportunity.
There’s not much else to be said about punter Rigoberto Sanchez and long snapper Luke Rhodes other than suggesting that they might even be underpaid relative to how much others across the league are making. I’d argue each is at least top five at their respective positions, so keeping them both around at the 10th-highest rate is a big win.

“No. 4014 was retired in Dec. 1961 after traveling 1,031,205 miles. Union Pacific reacquired it from the RailGiants Train Museum in Pomona, California, in 2013 and relocated it back to Cheyenne, Wyoming, for a multi-year restoration. It returned to service in May 2019 to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad’s Completion,” according to Union Pacific.
If you’re gathering to catch a glimpse of the storied locomotive, Union Pacific asks that you stay at least 25 feet away from the railroad tracks as it passes through.
You can track its path and see a full schedule of stops HERE.
If you don’t get a chance to see No. 4014 as it passes through Ohio, you can find its seven brothers on public display in St. Louis; Dallas; Omaha, Nebraska; Denver; Scranton, Pennsylvania; Green Bay; and Cheyenne.
Of the 25 Big Boy locomotives that were commissioned exclusively for Union Pacific Railroad, only these eight remain.
