The Loop: Remains of Carol Clay and Russell Hill formally identified, Russian figure skater cleared to continue at Beijing Winter Olympics, best bits from the Super Bowl halftime show

Hi. It's Monday, February 14, and you're closing out this Valentine's Day with The Loop, a quick wrap-up of today's news.

Let's start here

Police have confirmed human remains found in Victoria's remote high country in November last year are those of missing campers Carol Clay and Russell Hill

The campers went missing from their Wonnangatta Valley campsite in March 2020, and became the subject of a high-profile search, with investigators appealing to the public for information multiple times.

Late last year, Pilot Greg Lynn was  charged with murder over the pair's disappearance and is due to face court again in May. He hasn't entered a plea yet.

What Australia has been searching for online

  • Nope. The trailer for Jordan Peele's latest project has been released and, while we still don't really know much about it, people are already getting pretty excited. It's not rated yet but, in regular Jordan Peele fashion, the trailer is a bit spooky in parts, just as a warning

One more thing

So the Rams won the Super Bowl, which is great. Good job Rams.

But did you SEE the halftime show?!

In every '90s baby's dream come true, the iconic annual music/sport crossover featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, a sneaky upside-down cameo from 50 Cent, a subtle tribute to Tupac Shakur and some live percussion, courtesy of Anderson .Paak. Huge.

Half-time shows can be polarising — but people were LOVING this one.

There was a pretty significant symbolic moment during the show as well — Eminem took a knee while on stage with Dr. Dre.

There were rumours swirling that the NFL had told the rapper not to kneel during his performance. The league's vice-president, Brian McCarthy, said after the game that those reports were "erroneous".
