• EVERETT, Wash. (AP) -- The death toll from the landslide that hit the Washington town of Oso rose to 33 on Monday, according to the Snohomish County medical examiner's office, which said all but three have been identified.
• The latest name added to the list is Billy L. Spillers, 30, of Arlington. Like the others, he died of multiple blunt force injuries in the March 22 slide that crushed the residential area along the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River about 55 miles northeast of Seattle.
• His name had been on the list of missing.
• The number of missing on Monday was 12, said Shari Ireton, spokeswoman for the Snohomish County sheriff's office.
