Even though the Honolulu Medical Examiner has determined that Southwest Airlines attendant Jenny Lupton died by suicide after falling from her 24th floor balcony, the homicide division of the Honolulu police department continues to investigate her death.  Lupton’s family has plenty of reasons to believe the 50-year-old mom would never take her own life, including her final text moments before her death to a friend: “What are we doing tomorrow?” Lupton’s family maintains the medical examiner acknowledged he’s open to changing his suicide finding if police present evidence supporting foul play.

It was not the interview most people were expecting to see on Fox News: Sean Hannity asking tough questions, complete with follow ups for 41-year old Katie Zacharia. The newly installed and immediately embattled press secretary was trying to clear up questions and confusion over her qualifications to refer to herself as a lawyer. It took several attempts by Hannity to get Zacharia to admit she never took the bar again after failing it the first time. At one point, Hannity asked her a question many of us have been asking: “Why didn’t you just say, ‘I never practiced law?'” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More than four years after a barrel containing human remains was found at Lake Mead, investigators have identified the victim as Edward “Buddy” Jackson. Police say Jackson was shot once in the head and was believed to be in his mid to late 50s at the time of his murder. Jackson was last seen visiting family in Arkansas in the 1980s and has no known ties to the Vegas area. Jackson’s remains were among four bodies found in Lake Mead in 2022 after a massive drought exposed the skeletal remains. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A 16-year-old Bend, Oregon resident shot through locked doors at an Oregon elementary school, and then shot and killed three children, ages 5, 8, and 11 along with a teacher. Remarkably, an armed community member saw the teen enter Silver Rail Elementary School with a long rifle and pursued him inside the school and shot him dead before police arrived. Another teacher and a 7-year-old student were critically injured and are currently in the hospital. Police say the heroic bystander saved countless lives, and credit him, along with a new classroom door lock system from keeping dozens of children and teachers safe.

**UPDATE Since this episode was recorded, TMZ says prison officials have pushed back on the reports that Diddy's injury was a result of the fight with Christopher Coke.  Though, they don't explain how Diddy was injury.** ================================ The head injury that landed Sean “Diddy” Combs in the hospital reportedly came from a fight with a fellow inmate, but not just any inmate.  Diddy reportedly got a beatdown from notorious Jamaican drug lord Christopher “Dudus” Coke who has an entire Netflix episode devoted to him and his life of crime.  The fight apparently broke out because Coke, along with several other inmates, were angry after prison officials conducted several raids following the NBC report exposing Diddy’s privileged prison life.

Orlando police have arrested and charged 55-year-old Dale Smith Jr with second degree murder, 15 years after his ex-fiancé Michelle Parker disappeared. Parker was last seen on November 17th, 2011, the very day the couple was featured on ‘The People’s Court,' arguing over a $5,000 engagement ring. Parker dropped off their then three-year-old twins at Smith’s home, and has never been seen again; her body has never been found. While Smith maintains his innocence, police say advances in digital forensics led to additional evidence, paving the way for the arrest they’ve wanted to make for more than a decade.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia took the California bar exam after graduating from Pepperdine Law School, but did not pass. This, after the New York Times was able to briefly talk to Zacharia on the phone where she claimed she couldn’t hear when a reporter asked her in what state she passed the bar. Instead, she said she assumed she was asked where she went after graduating law school…. And that’s why she replied “When I was in China?” Zacharia also went on to say the president of her law school told her she could call herself a “lawyer” but she could not refer to herself as an “attorney.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
