According to court documents obtained by Fox4, Cassidy Rainwater, 33, was reported missing on August 25, six weeks after she was last seen. James Phelps, 58, and Timothy Norton, 56, have been charged with kidnapping, facilitating a felony, inflicting injury, and terrorizing in relation to the disappearance of Rainwater. Her whereabouts remain unknown. Phelps was the last person to see Rainwater, according to court records. On September 1, a detective spoke to Phelps at his home on Moon Valley Road in Lebanon, Dallas County, Missouri....

Now the Fayeds, who had denied since the crash that Paul was drinking in the hotel, are admitting that he was. For the first time, Michael Cole, a Fayed spokesman, has told NEWSWEEK that Paul drank two glasses of pastis-a licorice-flavored liqueur-over a two-hour period in the Ritz Hotel bar on the night of the crash. Paul sold sailboats before joining the staff of the Fayeds’ hotel 11 years ago and had little formal training as a security officer....

In the clip, shared to TikTok by an account called Jewelshaye, we can see the small ginger cat, whose name is Mochi, hugging the faucet in the sink with his eyes closed. A woman’s voice can then be heard reassuring the pet that he is “all done.” She continues: “He’s so scared. Baby you’re done already, you just need to dry off.” Jewelshaye has captioned the adorable video, which can be watched here, writing: “He loves baths now btw #DisneyPlusVoices #fyp #elfitup #funny....

Patty Arnold’s cat stayed inside her she-shed for the duration of Saturday’s tornado in Humeston, as storms ripped through the state. The shed was completely destroyed, but Dorothy not only survived, but was left with just matted fur as her only “injury.” The tornado whirled through Arnold’s property, leaving barns and farm equipment as piles of rubble. The shed that Dorothy hid out in now lies as just the door and floor, and was found on the other side of the street....

Bishop McDevitt High School in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, has been criticized by students and parents following an assignment in a criminal justice class, as reported by Action News on 6abc. Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter by a unanimous jury on April 20 this year. One of the questions students were asked was: “It is said that the death of George Floyd was due to the amount of drugs in his system that then affected his heart....

Unfortunately, as in many difficult-to-diagnose disorders, a feeling of having a persistent lump in your throat used to be considered a psychiatric disorder and referred to as globus hystericus (which is a term that was discontinued and should not be used to refer to this disorder). As is usually also the case with these types of difficult-to-diagnose disorders, there is growing evidence this feeling is not just “in your head” and there are physiological reasons why you are having this sensation....

Game 5 Odds: Golden State -5.5, Total: 205 Series Lead: Golden State 3-1 The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook opened Golden State at -8, saw the spread drop to -6.5 before the Green suspension, and now has it down another point. The total has dropped 1.5 points from the open, with the UNDER 3-1 this series. The Warriors (88-15 SU, 57-43-3 ATS) looked like they had this series in the bag after a gritty 108-97 win as 2....

Thomas made his 2017-18 debut Tuesday night against the Trail Blazers after recovering from a hip injury, so he was held out Wednesday. He received a standing ovation as he went to the Cavs’ bench before the game, and another one during the contest. MORE: Watch the NBA live and on-demand with fuboTV (7-day free trial) The game was also the second meeting between LeBron James and Kyrie Irving since the Cavs traded Irving to the Celtics in exchange for Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and two draft picks last offseason....

“You best believe Imma take me a knee for the anthem.” MORE: Athletes turned musicians As you’re probably aware, plenty of NFL players have begun kneeling during the national anthem to join Colin Kaepernick in his protest. The NBA season hasn’t started yet, but most figure some basketball players will join the movement. Circling back to the song, Shumpert has some nice flows over a smooth beat and addresses aspects about his personal life, as well as his basketball career....

Among the threats, three workers surveying the small town of Eitzen claimed that three men blocked their path using two cars. One of the men had a holstered gun. Though the workers were allowed to leave and didn’t file a police report, other workers reported being shouted at and insulted at people’s front doors or being angrily approached on the street. One Latina worker said she was called a particular anti-Latino racist slur “more in the last week than in her entire life,” state senior epidemiology supervisor Stephanie Yendell told the Star Tribune....

A CDC website last updated on Monday shows Delta is among the variants that are a concern because of increased transmissibility, more severe disease and reduced effectiveness of treatments or vaccines, among other evidence of the impact on diagnostics and treatments. However, experts said the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are effective against the Delta strain. Federal officials are continuing to study the effectiveness of the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine against the variant, as the AstraZeneca vaccine has proved effective overseas and the two are built on a similar platform....

Last week, the CDC recommended second booster doses—a fourth shot for many people—for certain immunocompromised individuals and people over the age of 50 as long as they had received their initial booster dose at least four months prior. It followed the authorization for a second booster dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA COVID vaccines by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 29, on the basis that “emerging evidence suggests that a second booster dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine improves protection against severe COVID-19 and is not associated with new safety concerns....

That’s despite the fact that unvaccinated U.S. adults aged 50 or older were 14 times more at risk of dying from COVID than those who had two or more booster shots as of June, according to another new CDC dataset. That report also shows that adults aged 50 or older who had one booster shot had a 3 times higher risk of dying from COVID compared to those who had had two or more....

The CDC’s directive came less than one week after the World Health Organization (WHO) identified a new coronavirus variant, known as Omicron, as a “variant of concern.” Health officials in South Africa first alerted the WHO of the variant’s emergence in the area on November 24. In the wake of the WHO’s classification, Biden on November 26 announced a travel ban for individuals seeking to travel into the U.S. from Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe....

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Friday that individuals who are asymptomatic can still transmit the virus to others and that “simple cloth coverings” worn over the face can, along with social distancing measures, help to curb community spread. Trump, however, said the recommendation was advice that he would not be taking. “I just don’t want to wear one myself,” Trump told reporters. “It’s a recommendation, they recommend it. I’m feeling good....

Her “people” arrived at the same time as the paramedics, nearly a half hour after Ledger’s body was first discovered. So who are these “private security” providers? And why are they–and not public emergency services–the first call a celebrity would make? To get a peek behind the curtain of celebrity security services, NEWSWEEK’s Matthew Philips spoke with Joe Lasorsa, who spent 20 years as a special agent in the U....

The move comes after a less-than-stellar Super Tuesday outing, which included a third-place finish in her own state of Massachusetts. The senator held out longer than many of her opponents; the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg, and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar both dropped out just ahead of Super Tuesday. Warren leaves a day after Mike Bloomberg left the race following an abysmal Super Tuesday of his own....

“America: A Tribute to Heroes,” the commercial-free telethon that took over TV for two hours Friday night, was unlike any celebrity spectacle we’ve seen in recent memory. With its rich color palette and a stage dripping with candles, it felt more like a VH1 special than a significant moment of American cultural history. Call it cheesy-many people did-but getting the tone right had to be tough. Both the musicians and the actors were at their most earnest....
