homicides are increasing — and more than half are going unsolved, according to FBI data.Out of 21,570 homicides reported to the FBI in 2020, 54% went unsolved, an analysis by the Murder Accountability Project (MAP) nonprofit shows.That was the last year the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) recorded unsolved homicide numbers due to a drop in law enforcement agencies reporting that data to the Bureau in 2021, according to Thomas Hargrove, MAP founder."[CJIS] decided not to make an estimate for 2021.

It would have been quite similar, however," Hargrove told Fox News Digital, adding that MAP's research suggests the clearance rate would still be around 54% if it were up-to-date.DC POLICE CHIEF OFFERS SIMPLE SOLUTION TO GET HOMICIDE RATES DOWN: ‘KEEP VIOLENT PEOPLE IN JAIL’The clearance rate has been steadily dropping since the 1960s, when more than 90% of homicides were solved.

The clearance rate was over 66% in 2010 and 61% in 2019.The decreasing clearance rate is compounded with an increase in homicides since 2020, when the FBI recorded a 30% increase in U.S.

Lotto Max draw last year doesn’t come forward soon, it will expire and go down as the largest unclaimed prize in Canadian lottery history.On Tuesday, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) encouraged people to check their tickets for the June 28, 2022 draw, noting the ticket that won the jackpot was sold in Toronto’s Scarborough area.“This yet-to-be-claimed $70 million winning ticket will expire on June 28, 2023, unless the rightful ticket holder comes forward to OLG before then,” the OLG said.OLG spokesperson Tony Bitonti told Global News that if the winner doesn’t come forward soon, it will become the largest unclaimed prize in Canadian lottery history, surpassing a $15 million Lotto Max win from an August 2021 draw that was never claimed.In that case, the winning ticket was bought in British Columbia.“We’re hoping not to make history in this case,” Bitonti said.“Someone out there bought a Lotto Max ticket — put down five, ten, (or) $15 — for a chance to win a $70 million jackpot. And in this case, they did.

Frankford High School expected to remain closed next year after asbestos discovery

PHILADELPHIA - As several Philadelphia schools continue to struggle with asbestos, at least one is already likely to stay closed to students and staff all of next year as well.Frankford High School first closed its door last month after asbestos was discovered on school grounds, including on the first floor where the cafeteria is. In a letter to the school community, the district announced that "unexpected" damage could also force the school to stay shut the next academic year for "necessary environmental and other work, including HVAC, and repairs needed throughout the facility."Officials say they are currently working on an in-person learning location for Frankford students.RELATED COVERAGE: Frankford High School to be closed for rest of school year after asbestos discoveryDamaged pipe wrap in the first-floor hallway and cafeteria above existing ductwork and drop ceilings is what ultimately led to the decision to shut the school, according to the district.Asbestos damage was also found on the third and fourth floors, throughout the structure and in floor tiles.The district also addressed questions regarding potential exposure for students and staff."There is no way to accurately calculate potential exposure in a school, given the number of people, movement in the building, areas of damage, and the invisible nature of potential fibers. The presence of asbestos materials itself is not a risk.
