Friends and co-workers of Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner are still grieving their deaths. Reporter Ashley Bunton takes us to a memorial that was held at McDonalds on Sunday, where Crystal was employed. And, the Department of Energy is launching a new research lab in Colorado to build a better understanding of drought. Plus, the federal government is trying to save wild horses from drought by rounding up thousands and sending them to new homes. But as our radio partners report, some wild horse advocates say the animals aren’t going to happy homes – they’re going to slaughter.
