Jeremiah Lonewolf on Tuesday said he was not authorized to speak about the matter and referred questions to Nedra Darling, a BIA spokeswoman in Washington, D.C., who did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
• Dogskin died while the 3,600-square-mile reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border was dealing with propane costs that had soared well above the $3.50-per-gallon mark at which Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II said the fuel starts becoming unaffordable for residents of the reservation. Many people there are on fixed incomes and unemployment runs as high as 20 percent.
• The cost increase was due to a nationwide shortage caused by supply disruptions, a late harvest last fall and a winter cold snap. With about 5,000 homes on the reservation relying on propane for heat, the Standing Rock tribe declared a state of emergency, which it lifted in early March when the shortage began easing.
• Authorities have not speculated on why Dogskin was in the home, which she did not own. Her family members told The Associated Press in February that she was house-sitting for a friend and likely felt a responsibility to stay in the home despite the cold.
• Tribal officials in February said they would be investigating why the home Dogskin was in had no propane. Archambault did not immediately respond to telephone and email requests for comment on Tuesday.

Carson City man gets 19 years in child porn probe

• RENO, Nev. (AP) -- A Carson City man convicted in a lengthy child pornography investigation has been sentenced to 19 years in prison after federal agents say he used a hidden camera to videotape two young girls showering at his home.
• Prosecutors say 34-year-old Marcus Gabriel Henderson made more than 200 sexually explicit recordings of girls in the restroom of his Carson City home. They launched an undercover investigation last July and found the tiny camera disguised as an AC adapter. One of the girls was 13 at the time.
• Investigators say Henderson traveled from Nevada to South Dakota and sent emails of the videos. He pleaded guilty in January to attempted production of child pornography and transportation of child pornography.
• Judge Larry Hicks sentenced him in federal court in Reno on Monday.
