U.S. Forest Service workers used a camera to search a Mount Washington crevasse where a missing hiker fell, but they were not able to locate him.

Sixty-seven-year-old Norman Priebatsch of Boston fell hundreds of feet into the crevasse while hiking with his son at Tuckerman Ravine last week. WMUR-TV reports the workers explored the crevasse Tuesday.

About 20 inches of snow has fallen in the ravine over the past few days.

Police divers hunt evidence in killing of school teacher

State Police divers continue to search the Connecticut River for evidence in the murder of Melissa Jenkins, a popular Vermont prep school teacher whose body was found in the river in Barnet near the Comeford Dam.

A Waterford couple has been charged with killing Jenkins and dumping her body in the river on March 25 after luring her from her St. Johnsbury home with a ruse about a broken down car.

Divers searched the river for several hours on Tuesday. St. Johnsbury Barracks Commander Lt. Mike Henry told the Caledonian Record that they were looking for any evidence related to the case.

Police also have continued to examine the Prues’ car and digital devices and are seeking all records of telephone calls that they have made since they were jailed on March 28.

The Prues have pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder and improper disposal of a body.

Rare Paul Revere engraved print discovered in old book

A rare engraved print created by Paul Revere has been found in a 19th century book at Brown University.

A university preservationist discovered the print while studying the 1811 book once owned by a 1773 graduate of Brown. The graduate’s descendants donated the book to the Rhode Island school.

The print shows Jesus and John the Baptist in the Jordan River. Revere’s name is featured on the bottom. Only five copies of the print are known to exist. Richard Noble, who catalogues rare items at Brown, says he has some unanswered questions, including Revere’s reasons for making the print.

The Boston silversmith and skilled engraver was a leading patriot before the Revolutionary War. He’s best known for his ride to warn colonists of British troop movement.
