COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – An Omaha man killed in a plane crash on Interstate 29 in western Iowa this week headed an Omaha, Nebraska, investment advisory firm and brokerage and was a longtime Iowa State University supporter. The Omaha World-Herald reports John Warren Rogers was president and CEO of Westchester Capital Management in Omaha.

Authorities say the 65-year-old Rogers was flying the plane that crashed Thursday morning shortly after taking off from Eppley Airfield in Omaha. Rogers’ flight plan listed Trinidad, Colorado, and Chandler Arizona, as destinations.

Rogers graduated from the Iowa State University’s School of Architecture and studied finance with the Securities Industry Institute and the Wharton School of Business. He was a governor of the Iowa State University Foundation, a lifetime title that indicates he was a university supporter.

LE MARS, Iowa (AP) – A judge is not deliberating whether an Iowa man accused of killing his mother is mentally fit enough to stand trial. The Sioux City Journal reports that attorneys on Friday presented findings of separate mental health evaluations to District Judge Steven Andreasen in the case of 45-year-old Jonathan Neunaber. The judge took the findings under advisement and will issue a ruling at a later date.

Neunaber, of Akron, Iowa, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in death of his mother, 80-year-old Esther Neunaber. Her body was found last July with the body of her husband Donald Neunaber. She was beaten to death, and he had died of natural causes.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says a Bondurant man was injured by a gunshot wound while deer hunting Saturday in Guthrie County. 32-year old Shaymus Smith, of Bondurant, was struck in the right leg by a shotgun slug fired from another member of his hunting party. The incident happened shortly after 2:30 p.m., approximately four miles north of Stuart. The slug missed Smith’s bone and arteries. The injury was not considered life threatening.

Smith was transported to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines for treatment. Officials say it’s believed Smith was hit by a shot fired at a running deer. Smith was out of sight from other members of his party due to dense cover. The incident remains under investigatation by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

An official with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says a second body was found Saturday in Union County, during an investigation into the death of a woman whose body was found in a farm pond.  KCCI TV says according to DCI Special Agent Mike Motsinger, the remains of a person were found near a house in Thayer. The identity of the victim is unknown. The body has been taken to the state medical examiner where an autopsy will be performed.

Investigators had to use an excavator and a team of specially-trained dogs to recover the remains. 37-year old Jerry Dillinger was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder Saturday, in connection to the deaths.  Iowa DCI agents and Union County deputies were at two homes Friday in Thayer as part of the investigation into the death of 37-year old Loretta Dillinger, who was found in a pond near Lorimor, on Monday.
