The Harlan Police Department says the driver of a motorcycle suffered minor injuries when the cycle went out of control and crashed into a parked motorcycle, last Thursday. Officials say Douglas Nelson, of Harlan, was starting his 1976 Harley Davidson cycle, when it took off and shot across the street, before colliding with a legally parked 1953 Harley, parked in the 1000 block of 7th Street. The other cycle was registered to Keith Kaufman, of Harlan. When the cycles collided, Nelson’s leg was pinned between them. Damage from the mishap amounted to $2,250.

(Note: In their original report, the Harlan Police Dept. reversed the names of the individuals in this story. They had Kaufman as the man who started the cycle and was injured. On May 31st, officials issued a correction to their report.)

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – An FBI spokeswoman says two bodies found at Lake Manawa State Park in western Iowa are those of a woman and a boy.  Sandy Breault, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s Omaha office, says her office is not able to identify the two because of the advanced state of decomposition of the bodies. Breault says an autopsy will be conducted to determine the identity of the two, but she did not expect results to be released today (Monday).
 
Authorities are seeking to determine whether the bodies are those of 41-year-old Charlotte Schilling and her 10-year-old son, Owen, who have been missing from their home in Plattsmouth, Neb., since May 10th.  Police say Schilling’s vehicle was found near Lake Manawa, which sits south of Council Bluffs. Schilling’s wallet and cellphone were in the car.
