North Dakota is 4-2 after a 49-24 win over in-state rival North Dakota State.

News

October 16th, 2023 by admin

Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird has endorsed former President Trump.

Bird made the announcement just before introducing Trump to a crowd in Adel this (Monday) afternoon.

Bird is the second statewide elected official to endorse a presidential candidate. State Treasurer Roby Smith endorsed Vivek Ramaswamy in August.

Osage man sentenced for murder of Mason City woman

News

October 16th, 2023 by admin

An Osage man has been sentenced to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in the 2021 death of a Mason City woman. Twenty-three-year-old Nathan Gilmore was charged last August with first-degree murder in the death of 29-year-old Angela Bradbury. Police accused Gilmore of picking Bradbury up near the Cerro Gordo County Jail on in April of 2021 and later murdering her. District Judge Gregg Rosenbladt says that during a pre-sentence investigation, Gilmore admitted murdering Bradbury and showed no remorse.

Gilmore allegedly placed Bradbury’s skull on a stick in the Greenbelt River Trail Park in rural Mitchell County in July of 2021. Investigators say they discovered drawing with satanic graphics, blood splatter, and a series of numbers during a search of Gilmore’s residence they say linked him to Bradbury’s murder Bradbury’s father Tim and sister Alyssa made victim impact statements during the sentencing hearing. Tim Bradbury admonished Gilmore for his actions.

Tim Bradbury told Gilmore he could not understand the sadistic way that he murdered his daughter and then decapitated her.

Tim Bradbury told Gilmore his life is over as he will spend most of the rest of his life in a prison cell.

Gilmore’s plea to the lesser charge of second-degree murder allowed him to escape a mandatory life sentence for first-degree murder. The 50-year prison term requires him to serve 35 years before he’d be eligible for parole.
