Forensic tests have helped identify the remains of a man last seen in 1998, officials said. The tests were conducted 26 years after the remains were first discovered in a sleeping bag in the backcountry of Washington state’s Olympic National Park.

Joseph Louis Serrao Jr. was originally from Hawaii and had been in Washington prior to going missing, his family told Othram, the forensic laboratory that helped National Park Service investigators solve his case. The family said they had not heard from him since 1998.

About two years later, in July 2000, a researcher discovered human skeletal remains in a remote part of Olympic National Park, along the Sol Duc River, the National Park Service said. The sleeping bag in which the remains were found was inside a tent, and discovered with it were multiple items, including binoculars, a day hiker pack, a shoulder bag, a folding saw, a blanket and winter gear, according to the park service and the laboratory.

At the time, a pathologist from the medical examiner’s office in Washington’s King County determined the remains likely belonged to a man between the ages of 30 and 50, who had died at least six months and up to two years earlier.

Investigators eventually learned that Serrao, who was born in December 1960, would have been in his late 30s at the time of his death. But, back then, the lack of “usable” fingerprints and other concrete evidence prevented authorities from developing leads that might have helped them uncover his identity.

His name remained unknown until recently. A breakthrough came once an anthropologist with the medical examiner’s office submitted a DNA sample to Othram in 2024, according to the park service, which investigated Serrao’s case alongside King County authorities and the laboratory. Using forensic genealogy — a technique that can help pinpoint living relatives of a deceased person based on the decedent’s DNA — the lab was able to identify possible family members by 2025.

Investigators reached out to relatives in multiple states, including Hawaii, and eventually compared and matched DNA samples from them to the one taken from Serrao’s remains.

“This case remained unresolved for nearly 30 years, but investigators never lost sight of the goal of identifying this individual and finding answers for his family,” Debra Flowers, deputy chief of the park service’s criminal investigative division, said in a statement. “I’m proud of the persistence and collaboration that made this identification possible, and I hope it brings some measure of closure to those who have spent so many years wondering what happened to Joseph.”

A key U.S. surveillance program is on the brink of expiring after House Democrats and a group of conservatives sank a temporary extension amid a standoff over President Donald Trump’s intelligence chief pick.

Lawmakers voted 198-218 on Thursday to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for three weeks, falling well short of the two-thirds majority needed for passage.

The measure, meant to give Congress more time to negotiate a long-term renewal, faced an uphill battle amid widespread Democratic opposition. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., warned he would withhold support for extending the program until Trump reversed his decision to name Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., put the bill on the floor via suspension of the rules, a fast-track procedure that requires a higher threshold to secure passage.

WHY TRUMP PICKED BILL PULTE TO LEAD US INTELLIGENCE AS CRITICS QUESTION HIS QUALIFICATIONS

He indicated he would not keep the House in session before the spy law was scheduled to lapse Saturday at 12:01 a.m.

“I attempted to pass a short-term extension for three weeks. Clean extension, no changes to the law,” Johnson told reporters following the failed vote. And the Democrats … voted against it and applauded themselves as they left the building. What would be the point of me going through this exercise over and over?”

Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., Don Davis, D-N.C., Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, Susie Lee, D-N.V., and Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., were the 7 Democrats to cross party lines and support extending the program through July 2.

Meanwhile, 19 Republicans, who were skeptical of a clean reauthorization of Section 702 without greater privacy guardrails, joined the majority of Democrats in voting down the measure.

Thursday’s vote was a notable setback for Trump, who urged lawmakers to reauthorize the program ahead of the June 12 deadline with no modifications.

Democrats and some Republicans have argued that Pulte, a Trump insider and senior housing official, is unqualified for the top intelligence post.

Trump has largely defended and refused to bow to Democrats’ demands. His comments Wednesday that he is actively looking for a permanent replacement for Pulte, who is expected to begin the job June 19, were not enough to soften Democrats’ opposition.

The standoff over the critical surveillance tool has led to tensions erupting in the lower chamber with little time to act before the law’s expiration.

Jeffries called Pulte a “malignant clown” during a news conference earlier this week and pledged that House Democrats would probe his tenure at the Federal Housing Finance Agency if they retake power in November. As the agency’s director, Pulte launched investigations into several Trump foes over alleged mortgage fraud.

Meanwhile, Republicans have warned that letting the spy law sunset would leave the United States uniquely vulnerable amid an influx of foreigners into the country with the World Cup underway and as the war with Iran drags on. They argue that Democrats are putting the country at a grave security risk by failing to extend the program into July.

“45 countries descend upon the United States for World Cup games, which just so happens to be the week that Democrats have actively chosen to disallow this critical national security tool from being renewed to allow it to go dark,” House Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford, R-Ark., said Wednesday. “This is unserious, very dangerous behavior on the part of congressional Democrats.”

“You cannot play politics with the security of the American people,” Johnson told reporters. “I am praying that they come to their senses.”

REPS ANDY HARRIS, KEITH SELF, SEN RICK SCOTT: FIX FISA. DON’T SPY ON US

The Section 702 program allows the U.S. government to collect intelligence on foreigners abroad who are using U.S. communication systems. The spy law also allows the government to sweep up the messages of Americans when communicating with foreign suspects, provoking the ire of privacy hawks in both parties.

The program is credited with thwarting a terrorist attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Austria in 2024, as well as gathering intelligence used to identify and eliminate a prominent Mexican cartel leader and providing information used to intercept shipments of fentanyl precursors from China.

Congress passed two consecutive short-term extensions of the law earlier this year, but has yet to strike a deal on a multi-year fix.

Some Democrats have argued Republicans’ warnings are political theater and have pointed to an intelligence court ruling that recertified Section 702 through March 2027.

“Existing law allows Section 702 collection to continue under an order from the FISA court for another year, even without congressional reauthorization,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Wednesday. “Congress can and must take the time to get this right.”

But GOP lawmakers warned that allowing the government’s warrantless surveillance powers to sunset entails substantial risk, including potential legal challenges.

“If this authority lapses starting on Saturday, we move into uncharted territory,” Crawford said Wednesday. “The implications get worse every single day.”

“While the 702 database would remain available to search, the data in that database will become increasingly out of date, with the potential of provider noncompliance with orders, litigation by providers or outside groups, and even reticence by agency personnel to continue implementing an expired authority for fear of personal liability,” he added.

Lyft, Uber sue New York City to block driver retention law

• Summary
• Companies

• Lyft, Uber say new law forces them to keep unsafe drivers
• Law would take effect July 28, following override of ex-Mayor Adams’ veto
• NYC officials defend law, emphasizing due process for ​app-based drivers

NEW YORK, June 11 (Reuters) – Lyft LYFT.O joined Uber Technologies UBER.N in suing ‌New York City to block a new law they said would force them to keep bad drivers who threaten public and passenger safety on their platforms.

The Lyft lawsuit was filed late Wednesday in Manhattan ​federal court, 24 hours after Uber sued.

Jumpstart your morning with the latest legal news delivered straight to your inbox from The Daily Docket newsletter. Sign up here.

Both companies are challenging Local Law 52 of 2026, which ​generally prevents large ride-sharing companies from swiftly dismissing drivers absent a “bona fide ⁠economic reason” or “just cause.”

The companies said the law targeting “wrongful deactivations” violated their due process ​and free speech rights under the U.S. Constitution.

They also said the law threatened irreparable harm ​by undermining their reputation and goodwill while keeping unsafe drivers, including those accused of sexual misconduct, on the road.

Lyft called the law “hazardous” and Uber called it “reckless.” The law would take effect on July 28, after ​the City Council in January overwhelmingly overrode former Mayor Eric Adams’ veto.

A spokesman for ​New York City’s law department said on Thursday it is reviewing both cases.

Uber and Lyft, both based ‌in San ⁠Francisco, have faced criticism that they don’t do enough to stop drivers who abuse passengers or commit fraud.

As of June 1, Uber faced 3,571 lawsuits and Lyft faced 54 lawsuits in nationwide litigation in San Francisco federal court accusing drivers of sexual misconduct.

In challenging the New ​York City law, Lyft ​and Uber objected ⁠to requirements that they give drivers 14 days’ notice before letting them go, and potentially rehire drivers deactivated since 2019 solely because they ​did not receive such notice.

They also objected on privacy grounds to ​requiring passengers ⁠to detail alleged misconduct to accused drivers, and objected to a heightened burden of proof when defending against drivers who challenge their deactivations in court or arbitration.

City Council Speaker Julie Menin ⁠and Council ​Member Shekar Krishnan, the law’s main sponsor, said they ​looked forward to the law being upheld in court, and that the council will “fight to ensure all app-based drivers ​have basic due process protections.”

Wholesale prices see biggest spike since 2022 as energy costs climb

June 11, 2026 10:45 AM EDT / CBS News

By

Inflation facing U.S. businesses surged in May to its highest level since November 2022 amid higher energy prices stemming from the Iran war.

The Producer Price Index, which registers inflation before it reaches consumers, soared 6.5% in May from a year ago, the Labor Department reported on Thursday. On a monthly basis, the PPI rose 1.1% from April, a faster pace than the 0.6% increase forecast by economists polled by financial data firm FactSet.

The hotter-than-expected reading comes a day after the Consumer Price Index surged in May to an annual rate of 4.2%, its fastest pace in more than three years. Although the PPI doesn’t directly signal changes in consumer prices, it can feed into broader inflation if businesses pass those costs on to customers.

The data underscores the stark shift in the nation’s inflation outlook this year, with gasoline prices remaining sharply elevated. Resurgent inflation is also likely to keep the Federal Reserve on the sidelines, with some Wall Street economists speculating that policy makers are more likely to hike interest rates than to cut them.

The Fed is widely expected to hold interest rates steady at its next meeting, scheduled for June 16-17, as officials monitor the latest inflation data.

“When determining the direction of monetary policy, the Fed looks to today’s wholesale inflation figures as one piece in the larger puzzle,” said Elizabeth Renter, senior economist at NerdWallet, in an email. “The likelihood of a rate hike in the coming months has increased with this week’s consumer and wholesale inflation data, but the Fed will most likely wait another month before taking that step.”

Wholesale gasoline prices surged by more than 23% from April to May, and by nearly 70% from the year-ago period, the PPI data showed. Gas prices have edged down in June, though the latest PPI report doesn’t reflect this because it captures data from the prior month.

Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core wholesale prices rose 0.4% in May from the previous month and 4.9% from May 2025.

Wholesale prices can offer an early look at where consumer inflation might be headed. Economists also watch it because some of its components, notably health care and financial services, flow into the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge — the Personal Consumption Expenditures, or PCE, index.

“With both the May CPI and PPI data in hand, our PCE tracking nowcast points to a 0.5% rise in headline prices, and a 0.3% rise in core prices in May,” Oxford Economics U.S. economist Grace Zwemmer said in a research note. “This would still push headline PCE up to 4.2%, its hottest reading since April 2023.”

Second Amendment fights grow across several states over 3D-printed gun laws

June 11, 2026 8:40am EDT / Fox News

The push comes as advocates argue the measures conflict with constitutional protections

3D-printed ‘Glock switch’ turns handguns into machine guns

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives officials are warning of a small so-called “Glock switch” that can turn a handgun into an automatic weapon, Fox News’ David Spunt reports.

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

Lawmakers in an increasing number of states are attempting to impose restrictions on 3D-printed firearms amid a Second Amendment fight over ghost guns.

As a bipartisan slate of states attempt to restrict the possession and manufacturing of ghost guns — firearms without serial numbers often made or modified with the use of 3D printers — Second Amendment activists and gun rights advocates argue the restrictions impinge on their constitutional right to bear arms.

At least 16 states have now put 3D gun laws on the books, with seven states adding major legislation this year.

Lawmakers in Colorado, New Jersey, Maine, New York, Virginia, and Washington have all imposed various restrictions on weapons manufactured without serial numbers in 2026 while California’s legislators added to the states already robust anti-3D manufactured firearm laws by advancing a bill that would require 3D printer manufacturers to equip their devices with technology that would block the printing of firearms.

New York lawmakers added a similar law to the state’s budget this year that will go into effect by mid-June. Manhattan’s Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg compared the law to statutes preventing commercial and consumer printers from producing U.S. dollars.

“We’re going to put technology into our machines such that they will not be a 3D gun. Much like, you know, we don’t have, you know, commercial printers that print US currency,” Bragg told ABC 7 Eyewitness News.

In January, Maine’s legislature passed a bill requiring serial numbers on all firearms, included 3D-manufactured guns. The same month, former New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed Bill A4975, which requires state residents to own a firearms license to even possess instructions or blueprints to print a 3D firearm.

COLORADO POISED TO BAN SALE OF AR-15S, OTHER RIFLES AND SHOTGUNS WITH EXTENDED MAGS

Colorado and Virginia also passed similar laws against weapons without serial numbers while a Washington state law that Gov. Bob Ferguson signed in March restricted the ability for residents to possess the serial-free weapons while also imposing constraints on the digital blueprints and devices that would manufacture the 3D guns.

A Minnesota legislative package considering a wide slate of restrictions failed to pass the statehouse in March.

The impetus to restrict the DIY ordinance coincides with a sharp rise in 3D-printed guns recovered at crime scenes. Data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) shows the bureau recovered over 27,000 3D-printed ghost guns from crime scenes in January 2023 compared to just over 1,600 recovered in January 2017.

Proponents for stricter gun laws argue that the rise of 3D-printed weapons increases the likelihood of adverse shootings in American communities.

“As 3D-printing technology becomes more affordable and accessible, young people are increasingly able to manufacture their own firearms—often without the knowledge of the adults in their lives. As schools purchase 3D printers and train students how to use them, the problem of 3D guns is now entering the classroom as well,” reads a statement on the Everytown For Gun Safety website.

Others, however, argue that placing restrictions on the weapons violated Second Amendment rights and that bans don’t fundamentally impact public safety.

“The gun is not the problem. The individual committing the crime is the problem,” William Sack, the senior director of legal operations at the Second Amendment Foundation, told Michigan Advance.

Several states with restrictions are facing constitutional lawsuits. In February, a three-judge panel on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit dealt a blow to the constitutional argument, siding with the state of New Jersey in a case against Texas-based 3D-gun blueprint designed Defense Distributed.

The Third Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that affirmed a cease and desist that New Jersey’s Attorney General delivered to Defense Distributed ordering the company to stop distributing gun-printing blueprints to unlicensed individuals. Defense Distributed’s legal team is requesting the court to take up the case again and will petition the Supreme Court if unsuccessful, according to the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs.

Three Indian sailors were killed in a U.S. strike on a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman Tuesday, according to India’s shipping minister.

U.S. Central Command accused the ship of violating the ongoing naval blockade of Iran’s ports and associated vessels, saying in a statement that the engine room of the Palau-flagged M/T Settebello oil tanker was fired on after the crew “repeatedly failed to comply with directions from American forces.”

New Delhi’s shipping minister Sarbananda Sonowal said Thursday that three Indian seafarers — who were initially reported missing — have died, and their bodies had been identified.

“It is deeply unfortunate to learn of the tragic incident aboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello,” he said in a statement. “This is a profound loss to our maritime family.”

The deceased sailors were identified as Aditya Sharma, Shivanand Chaurasiya and Patnala Suresh. India’s ANI news agency aired video of Chaurasiya’s father Rami breaking down in tears as he described receiving the news of his son’s death.

U.S. Central Command published footage of a strike on the M/T Settebello oil tanker on June 9, 2026 CENTCOM

“We want to know the full truth of what happened,” Sharma’s grandfather told the Press Trust of India. “Our hearts are shattered.”

The Indian Express reported that Aditya had told his father the ship received two warnings from the U.S. Navy in the two weeks before the strike took place.

The Indian External Affairs Ministry condemned attacks on ships in a statement Wednesday, saying “the continuing incidents of attacks on shipping in the region are deeply worrisome.”

“The targeting of commercial shipping and civilian infrastructure in the region must end,” the ministry said.

On Thursday, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India’s government had summoned a senior U.S. diplomat to register a “strong protest,” adding that India expected the U.S. to “take due note.”

The Settebello was one of at least three tankers hit by U.S. strikes in the Gulf of Oman this week. On Thursday, CENTOM said it had disabled the Guinea-Bissau-flagged M/T Jalveer for “attempting to transport Iranian oil.”

U.S. forces fired two Hellfire missiles into the ship’s engine room “after the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions,” according to a statement posted by CENTCOM on social media.

On Monday, CENTCOM said it had disabled the Palau-flagged M/T Marivex, which is sanctioned by the U.S., because it was “attempting to sail to an Iranian port”.

A video sent to CBS News by a crew member on the ship appeared to show smoke coming from the vessel, with another vessel seen nearby.

At least nine ships have been disabled for not complying with U.S. forces since the blockade on Iran was initiated on April 13, according to CENTCOM. On Wednesday, President Trump insisted the blockade was serving its intended purpose of putting pressure on the Iranian regime.

“The Fake News Media refuses to report how EFFECTIVE the U.S. Naval BLOCKADE is, the most successful Blockade in the history of Naval Warfare. NOTHING GETS THROUGH unless we want it to,” Mr. Trump declared in a Truth Social post. “Iran is doing ZERO business, not paying their military, or any of their bills, and quickly becoming a FAILED NATION! Lots of oil is getting out. Praise be to Allah!”
