Gamberg, a former eputy, began working on the case in 2013. Since then, recovered a recording of a phone call made to investigators soon after the remains of daughter were found.

The anonymous caller identified the remains and hung up, Gamberg said.

Full question Don Dykes of Reno emailed that he wants to now why gas stations do not print the amount of sales tax paid on receipts.

Retailers purchase fuel from the sup- liers in bulk with the taxes already included in the price. prices at the ump include federal, state and county taxes. he federal tax is paid to the IRS when the fuel is taken from bulk storage. Nevada state and local axes are paid to the DMV suppliers, who are the companies directly above the You can see state and ounty tax rates at dmvnv.com/fuel.

The total taxes in Washoe County are about 80.7 cents per gallon for gasoline and 8 6.8 for Malone said. art of the taxes are indexed, meaning they rise with inflation, so they rise most years.
