That’s News to you answers

Here are the answers to this week’s quiz:

1. D. A Pasco police officer who recently resigned from that force is now a suspect in Doss’ homicide, Spokane police announced. Spokane detectives identified Richard J. Aguirre, 51, as a suspect using DNA evidence. Aguirre has been charged in an unrelated alleged sexual assault in the Tri-Cities area last year. The officer’s DNA was collected as part of that investigation, and when it was submitted to a national DNA-matching database, his DNA profile matched DNA collected during the 1986 Doss investigation. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office conducted a monthslong sexual assault investigation involving Aguirre and turned over information to the Franklin County prosecutor, according to the Tri-City Herald newspaper. Aguirre was placed on paid leave in November. He faces a third-degree rape charge in connection with that case. Aguirre denies he was involved in the killing but was “not surprised” his DNA was found at the scene, Aguirre’s attorney, Scott Johnson, told the Tri-City Herald.

2. D. County Commissioner Todd Mielke is the top choice of a selection committee made up of local business executives and government officials. They also selected Richard L. Davis, a former city manager in West Jordan, Utah, as their second pick to replace retiring Marshall Farnell as chief executive officer. Mielke and Davis are scheduled to be interviewed by county commissioners Al French and Shelly O’Quinn within the next couple of weeks. If Mielke is hired, French and O’Quinn would name his replacement.

3. A. Kythera Biopharmaceuticals Inc. said in a news release that injections of the drug have been shown in clinical studies to be safe and effective in reducing fat under the chin. It will sell the drug under the brand name Kybella. The company plans to launch the drug this summer through physicians who complete a training program.

4. E. Officials of Avista Corp. and Mobius signed an agreement that gives the science museum a permanent home across from Riverfront Park for just $1 a year.

5. C. The Spokane Country Club sought bankruptcy protection two years ago to prevent collection on the $1.4 million verdict and related legal costs, and the members have not coalesced around a strategy to keep their private golf club. It all points to a possible sale, according to bankruptcy records.
