Many of the loved ones had waited decades for that moment.

Hoyerman, a previously respected architect and married father, was convicted of killing seven young women between 1993 and 2010.

But in a shock moment Wednesday, Hoyerman also admitted to killing an eighth woman named Karen Vergata.

Vergata's case had been cold since 1996.

Hoyerman evaded detection for years, but was finally arrested in 2023 after investigators honed in on one small witness detail in the file that was overlooked during the initial investigation.

He has been sentenced to three life terms in prison.

Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewell has the details.

The targets include energy, water, and transportation systems, with officials saying Iran exploited industrial automation products which have caused operational disruptions at drinking water and wastewater facilities.

Industry leaders report heightened vigilance, noting that Iran has previously infiltrated US power networks and that malware could lie dormant and ready to activate.

Experts stress that the threat is real and ongoing, with officials coordinating closely with the private sector to prevent attacks.

Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewell has more.

The massacre took place in a majority Christian town in Nigeria's northern plateau state.

Some witnesses have said the attack was carried out by the Islamic terror group Boko Haram.

Others have accused the Fulani militia, a largely Muslim group that has targeted Nigeria's Christian communities.

North Carolina Congressman Mark Harris sent a letter to the State Department today calling for decisive action over the slaughter of Christians.

He wrote, quote, when Christians are targeted for worshiping, gathering, and living openly in their faith, the United States should speak with moral clarity and act with resolve.

Officials are considering deploying an anti-drone laser system near Fort McNair in Washington, D.C., where top officials including War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio reside.

The move comes after reports of unusual drone activity in the area, raising concerns about potential surveillance during a time of heightened tensions with Iran.

But the plan is not without controversy.

Aviation officials warn the powerful laser system could pose risks in the already crowded airspace near Reagan National Airport.
