 Former Kennedy Center employees allege leadership delayed roof repairs before citing safety issues in closure decision Former Kennedy Center employees allege that the venue’s leadership knew about serious structural problems well before citing newly discovered hazards as the reason for its abrupt closure this month. The claims were outlined in a letter to Congress from a lawyer representing anonymous whistleblowers. The letter accuses the center’s executive director and chief operating officer, Matt Floca, of failing to prioritize roof repairs and stopping a funded repair plan in April. Floca disputes the allegations, saying recent inspections revealed that water damage had spread farther into the building than officials previously knew. In a September court declaration, Floca cited “acute risks to public safety” following an inspection that found deterioration in a roof terrace canopy and a partial ceiling collapse.

 Ian Huntley, infamous UK child killer, dies days after prison attack

  Ian Huntley, one of Britain’s most notorious child killers, died Saturday after being attacked by another inmate at a maximum-security prison. The 52-year-old had been on life support since Feb. 26, when he was repeatedly struck in the head with a metal bar inside a workshop at Frankland prison in northeast England.

Huntley was convicted in 2003 of murdering 10-year-old friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. The girls disappeared from the village of Soham on Aug. 4, 2002, after leaving a neighborhood barbecue to buy candy. Their disappearance sparked a massive nationwide search that lasted nearly two weeks and drew intense public attention, with thousands visiting the village and leaving flowers outside a local church. The search ended when hikers discovered the girls’ bodies in a wooded area a few miles from Soham. Huntley maintained his innocence but was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 40 years.

While incarcerated, Huntley was the target of several attacks and was kept under close protection due to the high-profile nature of his crimes. In 2010, another inmate slashed his throat in a separate assault. At the time of the murders, Huntley lived with Maxine Carr, a teaching assistant at the girls’ school who provided him with a false alibi during the investigation. Carr later served 21 months in prison for perverting the course of justice and now lives under a new identity.

Authorities believe another prisoner, 43-year-old Anthony Russell, carried out the latest attack. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding Huntley’s death, and a case file is being prepared for prosecutors to determine whether additional charges will be filed.
