Jack Studnicka certainly isn’t lacking incentive as his tenure with the San Jose Sharks gets underway.Studnicka, acquired by the Sharks on Friday from Vancouver, is not only in a contract year, but also wants to prove he can again be a full-time NHL player after he was placed on waivers by the Canucks last month.Studnicka, now with his third NHL team after he was drafted by Boston in 2017, will get that chance tonight as the Sharks finish a brief road trip against the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena in Denver. It appears Studnicka will begin the game as the Sharks’ third-line center, replacing Nico Sturm, who was injured last week.“Extremely motivated,” Studnicka said Sunday morning. “It was a tough experience to clear (waivers) there but continue to try to prove people wrong and hopefully prove the Sharks right.”Sturm was injured last Tuesday in the Sharks’ game against the Winnipeg Jets and is considered week-to-week with what’s been described as a mid-body injury, although...Multiple sideshows in one night, OPD investigates

1 Rat’s in the Trap The day before Michael Beckcom was arrested for murder, a Texas Ranger spotted his red Ford Explorer parked in a small town not far from the Gulf Coast. On its tailpipe was a silver substance that looked like the remnants of melted duct tape. It was evidence that would link Beckcom to the grisly killing of a federal witness.On June 4, 1996, Beckcom was jailed on a $10 million bond for his role in the slaying of George “Nick” Brueggen. Brueggen had been cooperating with federal authorities to build a fraud and tax evasion case against Beckcom and his associates, who fancied themselves a sort of South Texas Mafia. Beckcom and several others, including Mark Crawford, the former mayor of sleepy Ingleside, Texas, locked Brueggen in a large metal storage box. Using duct tape, they attached one end of a garden hose to the box and the other end to the tailpipe of Beckcom’s SUV. According to the Texas Rangers’ report, Beckcom then revved the en...How Two Men Convicted by Kelly Siegler Uncovered the Dark Secret to Her Success

1 Invisible Man Hermilo Herrero, 35, had been stuck inside the Harris County jail for months. He was bewildered and angry. He’d been serving a drug sentence at the federal correctional institution in Beaumont, Texas, when he was indicted for a cold case murder he swore he did not commit, then dragged to Houston to face trial. There was no evidence linking him to the crime save for a pair of informants enlisted by prosecutor Kelly Siegler. On the stand, they claimed that Herrero had confessed to the 1995 murder of his friend Albert Guajardo. In April 2002, Herrero was sentenced to life.Herrero was awaiting transfer back to FCI Beaumont when he saw that a man named Jeffrey Prible was about to stand trial down the road for murdering a family in Houston. The case was familiar — Herrero had read about it in the Houston Chronicle. Prible was charged at almost the exact same time as Herrero, and both cases involved murders gone cold. But the more Herrero learned...Kelly Siegler Is a True-Crime Celebrity. Did She Frame an Innocent Man for Murder?

1 Secrets of Stardom Only a few bones remained and there was no clear cause of death.In the realm of murder cases gone cold, this was a challenging one — even for Kelly Siegler, a veteran prosecutor from Houston, Texas, with a nearly perfect conviction record and an evangelical fervor for solving cold cases using circumstantial evidence.There were a few facts to start with. Twenty-nine-year-old Margie Pointer had disappeared in 1987. What was left of her was found in a ravine near Alamogordo, New Mexico, 17 years later. Despite the best efforts of a local cop haunted by the case, it remained unsolved. The Alamogordo Police Department needed help, and Siegler, star of the true-crime reality show “Cold Justice,” was there to answer the call.Siegler arrived in town with her co-stars, Yolanda McClary, a former Las Vegas crime scene investigator, and Johnny Bonds, a retired Houston homicide detective. They had their work cut out for them, but there was an addi...Relief for Ten Hag as Man United holds Liverpool to 0-0 draw at Anfield

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Manchester United held Liverpool to a 0-0 draw in the Premier League on Sunday as Jurgen Klopp’s team was knocked off the top of the table by Arsenal. Erik ten Hag’s United soaked up the pressure at Anfield and goalkeeper Andre Onana pulled off a string of saves to earn a valuable point in a match that saw Diogo Dalot sent off in stoppage time. Arsenal had provisionally moved to first place after a 2-0 win against Brighton earlier in the day. And the Londoners will now remain top — one point ahead of second-place Liverpool — ahead of their visit to Anfield next Saturday. United was routed 7-0 on its last trip to Liverpool in March and went into this game with speculation hanging over Ten Hag’s position after 12 defeats in all competitions and elimination from the Champions League. But it produced one of its most battling performances of the campaign to frustrate its fierce rival, and had a chance to score a winner through Rasmus Hojlund...Texans without Stroud, Collins, Anderson, Fant vs Titans; team starts Keenum at QB
