KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City woman is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the June deaths of a woman and the victim’s unborn child.

Wyandotte County, Kansas, prosecutors announced charges Thursday against 26-year-old Alora Mendoza of Kansas City, Kansas. She is also charged with attempted aggravated robbery.

Jocelyn Ybarra and Ybarra’s unborn child were killed on June 2. Relatives say Ybarra was 12 weeks pregnant when she was fatally shot.

Mendoza has been in custody for about a month on unrelated charges.

FARMINGTON, Mo. (AP) – Investigators say a Missouri woman accused of barricading four children in tiny rooms with no access to water or toilets had child-sized inmate uniforms made for them.

Thirty-eight-year-olds Daryl Justen Head and Laura Elizabeth Cheatham face child endangerment and kidnapping charges. Police and state workers found four children inside windowless rooms blocked by plywood at the couple’s home in Farmington. The kids, who had been adopted by Cheatham and her estranged husband, are in state custody.

The St. Francois County Sheriff’s Department says Cheatham worked for the Missouri Department of Corrections until recently resigning. Authorities say she ordered four small inmate uniforms in January from a prison clothing division.

Authorities have not discussed a potential motive. The suspects are jailed on $500,000 bond and do not yet have attorneys.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s lead over Gov. Jeff Colyer in the Republican primary has shrunk to only 91 votes after election officials discovered a mistake in the listing for one county’s results in the state’s tally of votes.

The lead is minuscule when compared with the 311,000 votes cast.

The final, unofficial results posted on the secretary of state’s website show Kobach winning Thomas County in northwest Kansas, with 466 votes to Colyer’s 422. But the tally posted by the Thomas County clerk’s office shows Colyer with 522 votes, or 100 votes more for him, a number the clerk confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday.

Bryan Caskey, state elections director, said county officials pointed out the discrepancy Thursday following a routine request for a post-election check of the numbers to counties by the secretary of state’s office.

County election officials have yet to finish counting late-arriving mail-in ballots or provisional ballots provided to voters at the polls when their eligibility wasn’t clear.

“This is a routine part of the process,” Caskey said. “This is why we emphasize that election-night results are unofficial.”

Thomas County Clerk Shelly Harms said it’s possible that her handwriting on the tally sheet faxed to the secretary of state’s office was bad enough in the rush of primary-night business that the number for Colyer wasn’t clear.

“They just misread it,” she told The Associated Press.

Kobach is perhaps President Donald Trump’s closest political ally in the state, and he’s a vocal advocate of tough policies on immigration and strict voter identification laws who served as vice chairman of Trump’s now disbanded commission on election fraud. The president tweeted his endorsement of Kobach on Monday, less than 24 hours before the polls opened.

LINN COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a drowning and have identified the victim.

Just after 12 a.m. Wednesday, the Linn County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a possible drowning or missing person at Tanglewood Lake, a private lake in Linn County, according to Ron Kauffman with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

According to witnesses, the victim identified as Melvin Eugene Stierwalt, 55, of Kansas City, Kansas, had been swimming with them near a swimming platform, and they saw the victim jump off of the platform into the water but did not notice anything wrong at that time.

Some time later, they reported they could not find the victim, and they called authorities. A Kansas game warden, Linn County Sheriff’s deputies, Osawatomie Water Rescue and the Linn County Fire Department responded to the scene.

Officials searched the area and the lake in the early morning hours but were unable to locate the victim, and the search was called off until it was light enough to resume.

At about 8:30 a.m., game wardens using a KDWPT patrol boat equipped with side-scanning sonar began searching the water while Linn County Sheriff’s deputies searched the shoreline. Game wardens recovered Stierwalt’s body at about 12:05 p.m. Wednesday.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Latest on the primary election in Kansas (all times local):

Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer says he will wait until the results of the GOP primary race for governor are final before he begins a campaign for the general election.

Colyer responded after Secretary of State Kris Kobach said earlier Wednesday that he would immediately begin campaigning against his Democratic opponent, Laura Kelly.

Kobach said it’s imperative that the party not wait to start the general election campaign, because the Democrats won’t wait.

Kobach led Colyer by fewer than 200 votes after Tuesday’s election. The outcome will be determined by thousands of provisional and mail-in ballots that have yet to be counted.

Colyer says he is hopeful and “very confident” the final vote will give him the GOP nomination. But he said he would be happy to work with Kobach should he win.

State elections director Bryan Caskey said the secretary of state’s office is estimating that between 8,000 and 10,000 provisional ballots were cast. And mail-in ballots postmarked Tuesday have until Friday to arrive in local election officials’ offices.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.— A Kansas man was indicted by a federal grand jury Tuesday for traveling to Kansas City to meet with who he thought was a teenage prostitute, but was actually an undercover officer, according to the United State’s Attorney’s Office.

Fifty-five-year-old Bradley Voth of Buhler was charged with one count of traveling across state lines with the intent to engage in illicit conduct with a minor.

The investigation into Voth’s activities began in June when an undercover U.S. Department of Health and Human Services employee was monitoring public messages on a website where people are known to discuss prostitution.

The undercover employee gave Voth a phone number for an undercover FBI agent posing as a 16-year-old girl. Voth allegedly contacted the agent.

The FBI agent told Voth the teen was staying in Kansas City with her 13-year-old sister. Court records say Voth then asked for the 13-year-old’s phone number and pictures of both girls. Voth allegedly agreed to meet with the teens in Kansas City for sexual activity in exchange for $140.

When Voth arrived at a KC coffee shop to meet the two girls, he was arrested. The jury’s indictment replaces a criminal complaint from July on the same charge.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — University of Kansas officials say freshman offensive lineman Jacobi Lott is in stable condition after suffering an injury during football practice.

Lott, a nephew of Hall of Fame defensive back Ronnie Lott, was injured Wednesday. The school has not released information on the nature of his injury.

An ambulance was called to the practice fields and Lott was taken to a hospital after being stabilized.

The school said had no information on a timetable for Lott’s recovery or if he would be available to play in the future.

Lott, from Amarillo, Texas, chose the Jayhawks after also getting an offer from Texas. His father, Charlie, played football at Texas Tech.
