Nearly six months after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson, Arizona, home, the Pima County sheriff told a national television audience that investigators still believe they can solve the case, but no arrests have been made and no suspect has been named. Sheriff Chris Nanos appeared on NBC's "Today" show Tuesday to deliver a public update on the investigation, one day after the missing woman's daughter, longtime "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie, posted an emotional one-minute video on social media pleading for whoever took her mother to come forward. The twin appearances, a law enforcement briefing paired with a family member's raw appeal, underscored both the intensity of the search and the frustration of a case that has…Open
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma ripped New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for pretending to have the power to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a broadside that landed just days after the mayor admitted he lacks that authority.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma ripped New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for pretending to have the power to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a broadside that landed just days after the mayor admitted he lacks that authority. Kuzma, 31, took to X on Sunday afternoon with a post that never named Mamdani directly but left little doubt about the target. "A mayor playing president," he wrote, folding the jab into a wider critique of a culture that rewards posturing over substance. The NBA veteran, who won a championship ring with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020, has become one of professional basketball's most outspoken critics of progressive politics, and Mamdani's stunt gave him fresh material. The mayor had posted a…Open

Bryan Kohberger, the convicted killer of four University of Idaho students, is now trying to undo the guilty plea he confirmed under oath, claiming from prison that his own lawyers coerced him into a false confession.

He also gave his first-ever interview, conducted by phone with The New York Times, in which he declared his innocence and accused his former defense attorneys of manipulating him into accepting a deal he says was built on lies. The petition directly contradicts what Kohberger said in open court just over a year ago. At his July…Open

Internal emails show Biden administration officials allowed a massive migrant encampment at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn to operate for more than a year despite explicit fire safety warnings from New York City firefighters, while telling superiors the site was "clean and well-run." FDNY Deputy Assistant Chief Dean Koester warned a National Park Service official in a July 15, 2024, email that the nearest working fire hydrant sat 2,500 to 3,000 feet from the shelter, roughly half a mile away. In the event of a fire, Koester estimated it would take about 30 minutes just to establish a water source. The encampment had no sprinklers. Sleeping arrangements inside its five large tents were "maze-like," a layout that would have made evacuation…Open

Coy "Denver" Parton, the oldest brother of country legend Dolly Parton and by most accounts the most private member of the famous Tennessee family, died July 23 at the age of 82.

USA TODAY reported it reached out to Dolly Parton's representative for comment but did not indicate a response had been received. Taste of Country, a country music publication, described Denver Parton in a 2025 profile as "perhaps the most private" member of the…Open
Could microplastics in the bloodstream be increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes? And do Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private diary entries contradict what he publicly said about COVID-era lockdowns? In this special “The Record” Rewind edition of the “Greta Wire” podcast, Greta Van Susteren revisits two important interviews. Interventional cardiologist Dr. Craig Basman examines a new study involving heart-attack patients whose blood was tested for microplastics. He explains how microscopic plastic particles could potentially contribute to inflammation, what the research does—and does not—prove, and whether people can do anything to reduce their exposure. Then, former White House COVID-19 Task Force member Adm. Brett Giroir…
