Documents in 1971 case to be released next week

• PIERRE, S.D. (AP) -- Sealed court documents used in the criminal investigation of a 1971 cold case will be released next week.
• A judge in Vermillion on May 30 granted a request from Attorney General Marty Jackley to unseal the documents but without the names of numerous reported victims of sexual assaults.
• Another judge used the documents in 2004 to grant three search warrants at the boyhood home near Alcester of David Lykken (LIHK'-uhn), who was indicted for killing Cheryl Miller and Pamella Jackson.
• Those charges were later dropped and Jackley said in April the girls died when their Studebaker drove off a gravel road and landed in a creek.
• Lykken argued unsuccessfully against the release.
• Jackley's office on Friday said the redacted documents will be unsealed June 20.

• Some Standing Rock residents say many of those promises have yet to be met.
• Obama will be heading to the town of Cannon Ball for a speech and ceremony.
