• "There's further review and testing going on, including DNA," Jackley said.
• Authorities are now asking the public for information that might aid the case.
• Investigators would like to talk to anybody with information about someone who was pregnant and now is no longer pregnant and doesn't have any children. They're also seeking help from doctors, nurses or physician's assistants who may have seen a patient pre- or post-pregnancy or might have prescribed medicine, Jackley said.

SD cheese company settles discrimination charge
• MILBANK, S.D. (AP) -- A South Dakota cheese making company has agreed to pay $85,000 to settle a sex discrimination charge.
• The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says Milbank-based Valley Queen Cheese Factory has agreed to pay the settlement to two female applicants rejected for the position of milk hauler.
• The EEOC says the company refused to hire the women for the milk hauler positions and had a history of staffing the position exclusively with men.
• In addition to the settlement, the company agreed to provide anti-discrimination training to all employees and expand its recruiting.
• Valley Queen Cheese Factory denies that it discriminated against women. The company says rather than fight through litigation, it decided it was best to settle the charges.

Conn. deaths to spark gun debate in SD Legislature
AMBER HUNT,Associated Press
• SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- As residents of Newtown, Conn., began burying the 20 children and six adults killed in Friday's school shooting, a South Dakota legislator is drafting a bill that would allow teachers, administrators and even janitors to bring guns to school.
• Rep. Betty Olson, R-Prairie City, told The Associated Press on Monday that she believes armed school personnel could have mitigated the Newtown massacre.
• "Those children and teachers, that was like shooting fish in a barrel," Olson said.
• The bill wouldn't require school personnel to be armed, she said, but it would allow those who have concealed weapons permits to bring their firearms into the building. She plans to present the proposal during the state's annual legislative session, which begins Jan. 8.
• State officials said it likely wouldn't be the only gun-related bill proposed.
