Investigators have also identified one of the victims as a woman who disappeared a year ago.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Just a day after a casino plan was approved by Ohio voters, GOP lawmakers unhappy with the vote are working up a ballot measure for next year to re-write the terms of the casino deal. An industry analyst says he also expects lawsuits to try to further stall the casino plan.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Even as the state reworks its execution procedures, the state Supreme Court has set execution dates for two more inmates. The death penalty is temporarily on hold in Ohio after a botched execution attempt in mid-September. Two key GOP lawmakers say it shouldn't be hard to fix the system.
