Suffolk County prosecutors had previously linked Heuermann to Mack’s death but, up until now, had never formally charged him with her murder.

Mack, a sex worker from Philadelphia who went by the alias “Melissa Taylor,” went missing in 2000.

She was last seen alive in the spring of 2000 in New Jersey, but her family did not report her missing.

Hikers first discovered parts of Mack’s remains in November 2000 in the Long Island Pine Barren in Manorville, but investigators were unable to identify her.

On April 4, 2011, the rest of Mack’s remains were uncovered near Gilgo Beach.

MISTY windscreens can be a pain when you’re driving in the winter months.

As the temperatures plummet, it’s crucial for motorists to be aware of how to get rid of condensation on their car windows.

Clear off

Most drivers know the importance of having a clear windscreen as well as windows before heading off in their car.

Driving with your vision obscured by mist could land you with a hefty fine – whether it’s foggy, icy or just plain dirty.

The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 and the Highway Code state that “windscreens and windows MUST be kept clean and free from obstructions to vision”.

Penalty

Motorists who attempt to get behind the wheel before checking that their windows are completely cleared of fog will be issued a £100 fine and up to three points on their driving licence. 

However, in the event of an accident, if a misted-up windscreen is considered to be part of the cause, road users will face a higher penalty.

Under these circumstances, road users can face fines of up to £2,500.

If the offence is committed within three years of a previous conviction it could even lead to disqualification.

Clean it

Unfortunately, colder temperatures and wetter weather through the winter months mean motorists have to spend more time cleaning their windscreens and windows.

Julian Hartley, insurance director at Tesco Bank, said: “In the colder months, windows are more susceptible to condensation, so make sure you leave time to fully demist all your windows.”

Condensation on cars occurs when the temperature inside the car is different from outside.

When it becomes colder overnight, and the temperature outside drops, the inside of your car stays slightly warmer.

This means that when the cold and warmer air meet, the water vapour in the air turns to water, causing condensation to form on your windows.

Turning the air-conditioning on can help to clear condensation – though this may not be ideal on a freezing cold morning.

If you do take this approach, make sure the air vents are aimed at the windows for the best result.

You can also use your windscreen and rear window heater and demister, if your car is fitted with one.

Dust particles attract moisture so keeping your car clean can also help.

Some drivers choose to leave a micro-fibre cloth in the car and have a quick wipe down just before they get out.

Removing wet items can also help to reduce condensation so if you’ve got a wet coat, damp umbrella or muddy boots in the car, don’t leave them in the car overnight.

Anything that’s already wet will make the car damper, increasing the condensation build-up.

TikTok channel Upthrifted has shared another, more unusual, hack for preventing condensation in car windows.

The page suggests that leaving Silica gel packets on your car dashboard the night before can save you precious time every morning.

They claim that the packets prevent drivers from having to demist in the early hours, and can reduce the humidity in a closed area by up to 40 per cent.

Get you car winter ready

Winter driving can be more dangerous for motorists and the pedestrians around them.

According to Tesco Bank, road accidents jump eight per cent in the week after the clocks go back and the dark nights draw in.

This time of year makes it all the more vital that drivers follow practical measures to stay safe on the road.

You can get a winter car check to ensure your vehicle is safe for driving over the colder months, especially if the roads are going to be icy or snowy.

The assessment is available at more than 750 Halfords branches across the UK.

It only takes about half an hour to complete and includes checks of your lights, wipers, tyres and more.

De-icing your windscreen is another important factor for driving safely in the winter.

Simple tricks like putting a towel or blanket over the glass and using a homemade spray solution can help, but you should never use boiling water to de-ice because it can crack or shatter the glass.

When the temperature isn’t quite low enough for frost, it’s condensation that’ll affect your visibility on the road.

However, there is one new card from TCG Pocket Mythical Island that players have their eyes on, and they think will be strong in online battles.

Celebi EX has drawn the attention of fans as it has the potential to be the most powerful card in the game.

Celebi’s attack Powerful Bloom allows you to flip a coin for every Grass energy you have attached.

For every heads that you land, you deal 50 damage to your opponent, which has the chance to knock them out very quickly.

This can be difficult as you only get one energy per turn, but there are a number of ways to increase this.

Every time Lilligant attacks, it can add one energy to a Pokémon on the bench, already doubling your energy output.

When combined with Serperior’s Jungle Totem ability you get to attach two Grass energy instead of one to each Grass-type Pokémon.

The deck is also very flexible and you could replace Celebi for Venusaur EX if you want a more consistent deck.

Here’s the Celebi EX and Serperior deck list that we recommend:

• Snivy x1
• Servine x1
• Serperior x1
• Petilil x2 
• Lilligant x2 
• Celebi ex x2 
• Erika x2 
• Sabrina x2 
• Leaf x2
• Red Card x1
• Poké Ball x2 
• Professor’s Research x2

NBC is set for a major broadcasting change starting this weekend.

The NFL schedule is about to get wacky as the NFL regular season comes to a close.

Football Night in America will air at noon on Saturday for the game[/caption]

The NFL is entering Week 16, and as the last three weeks of the season play out the games start to become more and more spread out.

Games will now be played on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday up until the end of the regular season.

The first Saturday games of the season will be played this week in a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans.

NBC will be hosting this game, switching up from their usual Sunday Night Football slot.

Due to this schedule change, their pregame show, Football Night in America will be broadcast at noon on Saturday.

The pregame show will also be held on Sunday before Sunday Night Football.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are also playing on Saturday in a game that is hosted by Fox.

Fox likely won’t air a special episode of Fox NFL Sunday for the Saturday game.

On top of the NFL games, there are also three College Football Playoff games being played.

SMU is playing Penn State, Clemson is playing Texas, and Tennessee is playing Ohio State.

With five football games being played on Saturday, the schedule looks like this:

• Noon – SMU at Penn State
• 1:00 pm – Texans at Chiefs
• 4:00 pm – Clemson at Texas
• 4:30 pm – Steelers at Ravens
• 8:00 pm – Tennessee at Ohio State

Football fans are extremely excited over the special schedule and shared their thoughts on social media.

“One hell of a Winter Solstice right here,” one fan said.

“What a glorious day. I can’t wait!” another fan said.

“Football Solstice. Need new batteries for all my remotes,” a third fan said.

“I always prayed for times like these!” a fourth fan said.

“Definitely not leaving the house,” a fifth fan said.

Football fans will have trouble figuring out which screens to play which games on during the day.

There will likely be at least two games playing at all times on Saturday.
