Amid all of the online squabbling over whether the relationship between singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is getting too much attention from the media and from NFL broadcasters, I held my tongue. Whenever I felt the need to speak up or to voice an opinion on the matter, I looked at the silicone wristband I wear to remind me of whose opinion really matters. No, my wristband doesn’t say WWJD, as it does for most Christians. I look to a higher power. WWLCD: What would Liz Cheney do? And finally, at long last, the...

Footage of a mysterious flying object with a spinning fiery thruster has sent shockwaves through the UFO community. The clip appears to show an unknown craft similar in shape and design to spaceships seen in the hit film, Independence Day.

At one point, the blazing thruster starts spinning and the entire UFO turns into a fireball in the sky. The blaze then subsides into a spinning line of flames. The video was originally filmed by a local resident on their phone in...

Brian Laundrie admitted to killing girlfriend Gabby Petito in a notebook left in the Florida swamp where he committed suicide — but Laundrie insisted it was an act of “mercy,” according to a report Friday. “I ended her life,” he proclaims in the note, which was recovered by the FBI in October, according to Fox News. “I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made. I panicked. I was in shock.”

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — An attorney for the Laundrie family released contents of Brian Laundrie’s notebook on Friday, including what appeared to be his confession and explanation for killing his fiancée Gabby Petito. This is a rough transcription of the eight pages of Brian Laundrie’s notebook, released by Steve Bertolino:“Gabby, I wish I was right at your side, I wish I could be talking to you right now. I’d be going through every memory we made, getting even more excited for the future. But [we] lost our future. I can’t [live] without you. I’ve lost every day we [could’ve] spent...

Brian Laundrie, the sole suspect in the death of Long Island native Gabby Petito, died of a gunshot wound to the head, a lawyer for the Laundrie family said Tuesday.

Almost three weeks after the remains of Brian Laundrie were found at a Florida nature reserve, a woman is continuing to scour the site for additional bones — spending five hours a day sifting through the swamp with a stick, according to a report. A TikTok user with an account called chroniclesofolivia posted video of the unidentified woman at the Carlton Reserve, where she has spent the past 10 days searching for additional remains from Laundrie, the Sun reported.

Florida cops who publicly insisted they had eyes on Brian Laundrie amid the Gabby Petito investigation have admitted they actually mistook him — for his mother. “They are built kind of similarly,” North Port Police Department spokesperson Josh Taylor told WINK on Monday regarding the huge blunder in a case that sparked national attention. Police had set up around-the-clock surveillance last month outside the North Port home where Laundrie lived with his parents after the 23-year-old was named the sole person of interest in his girlfriend’s disappearance.

Here’s what Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito looked like on some of their cross-country road trip stops. These photos might be the last ones Brian and Gabby have taken together during their final road trip stops.

FBI confirms human remains found identified as Brian Laundrie Right, they just happened to find his body on the first day the reserve opened, and around the area they thought he would be. Oh and it was conveniently underwater before then, and by the time they got to him he was just bones. Also his stuff was still near him after being underwater. This story isn't over yet.

A comparison of dental records on Thursday confirmed that the human remains found at the T. Mabry Carlton, Jr. Memorial Reserve and Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park yesterday are those of Brian Laundrie, the FBI said in a release Thursday evening. “The FBI is grateful for the tremendous investigative support from our partners: North Port Police Department, Sarasota Police Department, Jackson Police Department, Charlotte County Sheriffs Office, Lee County Sheriffs Office, Sarasota County Sheriffs Office, Teton County Sheriff's Office, Teton County Search and Rescue, the Florida Wildlife Commission, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Forest Service,” the release added.

Special counsel John Durham provided 81,000 pages of discovery to indicted Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann in his criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation, court filings show. The reams of documents, which reveal details from grand jury subpoenas sent to 15 individuals and organizations likely including opposition research firm Fusion GPS, were produced this month after lawyers representing Sussmann, who denies any wrongdoing, demanded more information while calling the allegations that he lied to the FBI five years ago vague and confusing.... ...Among these documents, the special counsel said, were those "received in response to grand jury subpoenas issued to fifteen...
