Nancy Guthrie Update: Genetic Genealogist Shares New Insight Into DNA Analysis Timeline
Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing after her Feb. 1 abduction in Tucson, Ariz.—and a genetic genealogist just shared new insight into the DNA analysis timeline.
On April 16, those following the 84-year-old's case learned that the FBI had received DNA evidence from Nancy’s home. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) initially sent the evidence, a hair sample, to a private lab in Florida.
During an interview with NewsNation shared on YouTube on April 19, genetic genealogist CeCe Moore weighed in on the DNA evidence—and how long it could take for the FBI to get results.
She explained that she assumes the sample is a rootless hair, as until recently, it wasn't possible to extract useful DNA from. However, the FBI is using new technology in hopes of identifying Nancy's kidnapper.
"I am imagining that the FBI is first looking at that to determine whether it could be consistent with Nancy's hair, or any of the family members, or known individuals who had been in that house," Moore said. "If not, I am assuming that they will forward that on to Astraya Forensics, and the processing will begin at that point."
She continued, "It can take months. In my experience with them, I've already helped law enforcement solve six cases using rootless hair alone. And so, I know it can be done. My guess is that because this is not a cold case yet, and most of the cases are where we're using rootless hair, that they will push this to the top of the priority list and get it done more quickly."

Moore concluded, "But it is impossible to predict just how long because sometimes the first one or two tries are not successful. I've seen cases where they had to try three different times before they were able to extract that snip profile."
Nancy was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home on the evening of Jan. 31. The PCSD (later with the help of the FBI) launched the search on Feb. 1. As of writing, no suspect has been named, despite Savannah offering a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy's recovery.

1994 Hit Film Ranked the No. 1 ‘Thriller Movie That Defines the Genre’
Colliderrecently put together a list of the “Most Important Thriller Movies that Define the Genre.” Making the list are classic films like The Silence of the Lambs, Seven, andFight Club. However, the number one spot went to the iconic Quentin Tarantino film, Pulp Fiction.
Released in 1994, the black comedy tells the tale of four intertwining tales of crime and violence. The two-and-a-half-hour film is packed with stars, including John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Christopher Walken, and Ving Rhames.
When speaking about how the idea was formed in a 1994 interview, Tarantino said, “The idea for Pulp Fiction was born even before I began writing Reservoir Dogs. I was trying to imagine how to make a film without money, so I thought of a short I’d be able to show at festivals that could be a kind of calling card. I’d be able to demonstrate what I was capable of, which would allow me to shoot a feature-length film. So I thought of the story of Vincent Vega and Marsellus’s wife. Then I realized, why not write a second short crime story, and then a third, and then shoot them one after another when I got enough money together, and then put them together?”

Pulp Fiction was a major success as soon as it was released, winning the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. It went on to receive 7 nominations at the Academy Awards, bringing home one win. Many fans consider this one of the greatest films of all times. Entertainment Weekly dubbed it the best film since 1983.
Pulp Fiction currently has a 96% audience score and 92% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. As one reviewer said, “Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction not only remains his best movie, but is an exhilarating crime saga full of great performances and energetic writing.”
Another raved, “A truly great soundtrack keeps the tone hip and even steals a scene or two. Not that Tarantino doesn't have plenty to spare. Pulp Fiction is riveting filmmaking—funny, visceral, stylish and so unabashedly original that you never want it to end.”
Pulp Fiction is widely considered Tarantino’s greatest work. However, he has created many other hits over the course of his career, like Reservoir Dogs, Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, From Dusk Till Dawn, Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds, and Kill Bill.
Carol Connors Reveals the Truth About How Her Famed Relationship with Elvis Presley First Began
As any fan of the King of Rock and Roll is likely to know, Elvis Presley had many different romantic relationships throughout the course of his life.
Along with various relationships to noteworthy celebrities like Ann-Margret, Connie Stevens, Sybil Shepherd and Natalie Wood, Presley famously enjoyed a nine-month romance with accomplished pop star Carol Connors.
While the 85-year-old Connors has openly discussed her relationship with Presley over the past several decades, her new memoir and documentary Elvis, Rocky & Me: The Carol Connors Story finds Connors exploring the topic in greater detail than ever before.
“It's not just good feelings,” the Oscar-nominated singer-songwriter told People of the new projects. “As I said to the producer and the director, I said, ‘Don't whitewash me. Please don't whitewash me. I've led a very checkered past, and if I'm going to do this, I'm going to do it. And if I'm not going to do it, I won't do it.’”
To that end, the former Teddy Bears member emphasized her desire for complete and total honesty, no matter how potentially painful those particular moments in her life turned out to be.
“Even in the book, the memoir and the audiobook, which [got a] Grammy nomination, I like to think that I'm honest about everything,” Connors said.
In particular, Connors sought to present a transparent illustration of her relationship with Elvis, which began as a romantic affair before becoming a lifelong friendship. As Connors remembered it, the two first met at Presley's Los Angeles home back in 1964.
“I walked down these steps, and he was standing in the corner….He finally came up to me, and he said, ‘So, why’d you name the group the Teddy Bears?’" Connors previously told Rewind Magazine. "I looked up at him and said, ‘I just wanted to be your teddy bear.’ That started our love affair."
With Connors admitting that Presley was "very special" to her, she also reiterated that the new documentary shares "some stories that you wouldn't have heard because they were pretty personal between Elvis and me."
BookCon 2026: How ‘Heated Rivalry’ Season 2 Will Change ‘Role Model’s Tone
Crave's Heated Rivalry adapted the book of the same name. It's the second one in the Game Changer series by Rachel Reid. The tricky thing is that the other books focus on characters in the same league as Shane (Hudson Williams) and Ilya (Connor Storrie), and are part of their later story.
Season 2 will adapt the book, Role Model, which was released before The Long Game. Showrunner Jacob Tierney revealed what he'll change in Role Model to fit it into season 2 and 3.
‘Heated Rivalry’ Season 2 Will Lean Into ‘Damaged’ Troy Barrett Hudson Williams as Shane Hollander in 'Heated Rivalry'Troy Barrett is the main character in Role Model, and the book starts when he joins Ottawa's team after Ilya joins and becomes their captain. Troy gets a romantic story along with his emotional journey to come out.
Related: ‘Heated Rivalry’ Book, ‘Unrivaled’ Gets Delayed
"There is an easy, facile way of looking at Role Model," Tierney said at BookCon, according to Entertainment Weekly. "It's very 'grumpy sunshine.' It's very 'apple orchard.' It can drift into things that you want, but Troy is a really damaged guy. And Troy is quite damaged on the show. I would say we're digging into that even harder."
Troy is a character full of angst, which is fitting for Ilya's story in The Long Game. The two books overlap in their timeline.
Of course, Shane and Ilya's story will look different from the first season. "What do you do after the rush of danger is gone and yet now you have to live in a relationship where you still aren't communicating properly, much as you would like to?" the showrunner asked.
"You can say you love each other, but as adults know, there's so much more than that to make a relationship successful. And that is what they're learning," he continued.
Heated Rivalry Season 2 might split The Long Game across two seasons to fit all the plot points. Season 2 is expected to be released in April 2027.

'Bewitched' Star Erin Murphy Remembers Her TV Dad on His Birthday
Erin Murphy paid tribute to her late Bewitched co-star Dick Sargent on what would have been his 96thbirthday. In a post to Facebook on April 19, the former child star shared a throwback photo from the 1960s ABCsitcom that featured her sitting on a carousel alongside Sargent and fellow series stars Elizabeth Montgomery and Agnes Moorehead.
“Happy Birthday, Darrin Daddy!” Murphy, 61, captioned the sweet snap. “I love and miss you, Dick Sargent.”
Sargent played Darrin Stephens, Murphy’s dad and Montgomery’s husband, on Bewitched from 1969 to 1972, and was the second actor to do so. He replaced original star Dick York in Season 6 after York left the show due to medical issues. Sargent died of prostate cancer in July 1994 at age 64.
Following Sargent’s death, Montgomery was quoted by the Seattle Times as saying, "He was a great friend, and I will miss his love, his sense of humor and his remarkable courage."

Erin Murphy lost all 3 of her ‘Bewitched’ parents in a short timeSargent’s death came two years after York also passed away at a young age. The original Darrin actor died in February 1992 at age 63 of complications from emphysema. York spent his final years before his death housebound and on an oxygen tank. In 1989, he joked to the Los Angeles Times, “I feel wonderful--it’s just my body that’s dying.”
“I knew that Dick York was very sick," Murphy once said in an interview, adding that she remembered him leaning against a board between scenes to alleviate his bad back.
Less than a year after Sargent died, Montgomery died of colon cancer at age 62.
In a December 2025 interview with Celebrity Drop, Murphy said she didn’t realize how sick Montgomery was just before her death. “She was much too young,” Murphy said. “I’m going to be 62 next year, so the thought of that is just crazy.”

Erin Murphy never played favoritesMurphy has long been “diplomatic” when asked to rank her two Darrin daddies. In a 2025 interview with People magazine, she said she had fond memories of working with “both” actors who played her dad. “They were wonderful guys,” she said.
Speaking on the Media Path podcast, she noted, “Dick Sargent was a different Darrin. I as a kid acting with him noticed that he played the part differently. It was not the same.”
Still, the actress never expressed a preference until last fall. “My entire life I have been so diplomatic because I loved them both,” Murphy told People. "They were wonderful guys.”
She then added that York was a better Darrin only because he was more like a real father to her off-camera. “Dick York was a dad, and he had a lot of kids, and he was just more paternal. So he was more like a dad,” she said. “Dick Sargent was a great guy, and we were in touch up until he passed away.”

Beloved ’80s Rocker Announces New Book 49 Years After Beginning Career
Ex-Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland is looking back on his unfinished business with his upcoming project.
The legendary band’s former guitarist is gearing up to step into the spotlight once again, but this time not on stage but through books.
During an interview with U.K. broadcaster Paul Stephenson for VRP Rocks, the 68-year-old musician opened up about what he’s been working on lately and what pushed him to speak about issues surrounding former bandmate Dave Mustaine.
Formed in the early 1980s in California, founding member vocalist and guitarist Dave Mustaine launched what would become one of the most iconic forces in the music industry along with bassist David Ellefson.
Prior to their commercial success in the 1990s, the rock band welcomed Poland into the lineup as their guitarist. However, due to internal conflict, the band reportedly decided to let him go.
His initial departure was in 1985 during the tour for their debut album Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!
It was followed by the more well-known exit that took place in 1987 after the conclusion of their world tour Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?
The departure was reportedly linked to the frontman writing the track “Liar,” a diss track aimed at the former band member.
Megadeth members Gar Samuelson, David Ellefson, Dave Mustaine, Chris Poland, pose backstage at the Joe Louis Arena during the band's "Waking Up Dead Tour" on February 13, 1987, in Detroit, Michigan.When asked about his reaction to this, Poland pointed out that it may have impacted his reputation but not the audience or career path he was actually pursuing.
"Well, I'm sure it did affect my career, but my career was playing instrumental, whacked-out fusion [music],” he told the outlet as cited by Metal Injection, adding, “I had a handful of people that listened to my music. Those people didn't even listen to Megadeth, so it didn't matter.”
He also added that he did not carry any resentment and had moved on from the incident.
"And then when [Mustaine] asked me to come back [to Megadeth] – I don't hold any grudges,” the guitarist shared. “Sometimes I get a little upset, if I think about it, but I never read [Dave's] books. People would tell me stuff he said [about me], and I'd be, like, 'What are you gonna do?'"
Poland added that one of the key projects he is working on right now is an upcoming book, which may delve into his time with Megadeth as well as issues involving the frontman.
"I'm writing a book [called Now Leaving Metalopolis] right now with [music journalist, podcaster and author] Matt Herring,” the musician revealed. “And some of that stuff – I have my little rebuttal about stuff that was said [by Dave] about me. 'Cause, first of all, I don't hit girls. There are a lot of things he said [over the years about me] that's total B.S.”
Interestingly, he also mentioned the late drummer Nick Menza, thanking him for helping reshape his mindset and guiding him toward peace and forgiveness rather than holding onto the past.
The upcoming memoir is in its final stages, with an official release date yet to be announced.

Comedy Legend Mike Myers Is Now a Full Silver Fox, and We’re Here for It
Mike Myers is a comedy legend, but the star of films like Wayne's World and Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery has put a little twist on his typical look with a head full of white hair.
Myers, 62, got his start on Saturday Night Livebefore launching a hugely successful film career. While he largely runs below the radar these days, the actor did make a rare exception to work the red carpet at the 2026 AFI Life Achievement Award at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, honoring Eddie Murphy, the recipient of the 2026 AFI Life Achievement Award. The star, who is currently at work on Shrek 5, showed off a dapper look with a short cut of white hair. This silver fox might be looking better than ever!

What Did Mike Myers Say Onstage?Naturally, Myers didn't let the opportunity pass by without breaking a few jokes. Later on during the big event, the icon hit the stage to honor Murphy, and did so in full Shrek greenery.
"None of the 'Shrek' success could have happened without Eddie Murphy; his character Donkey is a masterpiece," said Myers, USA Today reported. "As is every character that Eddie has created. ... It is an absolute honor to be able to tell my kids that I got to work with Eddie Murphy."

How can I watch Eddie Murphy's AFI Achievement ceremony?The AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony honoring Eddie Murphy will stream on May 31 on Netflix.
When Will Mike Myers Receive Some Praise?Don't Worry! Myers is set to receive a special award at the upcoming Canadian Screen Awards in May, The Hollywood Reporter shared back in March.
While Myers is a U.S. citizen, the Canadian-born actor is wildly proud of his native country. You may recall that in April 2025, he appeared alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in a TV ad wearing a jersey that read “Never 51,” in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s 51st state taunts against Canada, THR reminded us. Myers later returned to his other home turf, Saturday Night Live, and made a statement by wearing a “Canada is not for sale” T-shirt.

Gillian Anderson Loved the New X-Files Script — but David Duchovny Doesn't Even Know If Mulder Exists
David Duchovny has played FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder for most of his professional life, 11 seasons across two runs of The X-Files, two movies, and countless moments that defined a generation of television. So it might surprise fans to learn that, right now, he genuinely doesn't know if that character will exist at all in Ryan Coogler's upcoming Hulu reboot.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Duchovny confirmed he has spoken with Coogler and has a general sense of the project, but hasn't read the pilot script. More to the point, he doesn't know whether his character even survives the transition. 'I don't know what the world of his show is,' Duchovny said. 'I don't know if my character exists in that show. It's all hypothetical to me, so I can't really address it.'
That's a striking admission. Gillian Anderson, who played Mulder's partner Dana Scully for those same 11 years, is further along as she's read the pilot, called it 'really good,' and told fans at a recent convention appearance to keep an open mind. Anderson has teased that conversations with Coogler could lead to her returning in some capacity. Duchovny, by contrast, is in a more uncertain position.

'There have been talks about certain things, but there's nothing concrete at this point,' he told the Hollywood Reporter. And while he's cautiously optimistic about what Coogler is building ('It's a great frame that Chris Carter came up with all those years ago,' he told Gold Derby), his primary concern is the writers' room. 'We were blessed to have a writers' room that could generate 20 to 25 movie ideas,' he said, citing Vince Gilligan, the Morgan brothers, and Howard Gordon as the creative engine behind the show's best years. 'I hope Ryan doesn't have to do 25 episodes and only has to do 10 or 12. And I hope he's got great writers because that's really the key.'
Coogler's reboot has a pilot order at Hulu and two confirmed leads: Danielle Deadwyler (Till) and Himesh Patel (Yesterday) as brand-new FBI agents assigned to unexplained phenomena cases. Original series creator Chris Carter is involved as an executive producer. Whether the new show exists in the same universe as the original, or starts entirely fresh, hasn't been confirmed.
The X-Files premiered in 1993 and became one of the defining series of the decade, running for nine seasons on Fox before two revival seasons in 2016 and 2018. For millions of fans, Mulder and Scully were the X-Files. The idea that Mulder might simply not exist in what comes next is, as Duchovny himself might put it, a lot to process.
Hilton Is Finally Returning to Nassau With a New Luxury Beachfront Resort
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Nassau hotel scene, you know it’s a landscape that is constantly evolving—but Hilton’s latest move is more than just a new pin on the map.
The hospitality giant just announced the signing of Paradise Breeze Nassau, a new-build property set to join the Curio Collection by Hilton in 2028. This isn't just the brand’s debut in the Bahamas; it marks Hilton’s high-profile return to the island, signaling a major shift toward more design-led, boutique-style stays in the region.
Located on West Bay Street—just three miles from the airport—Paradise Breeze is ditching the "mega-resort" playbook in favor of an 11-story, 125-room experience that feels deeply connected to the local Nassau vibe. "We envisioned Paradise Breeze as more than a destination," says Daniel Mosca, founder and CEO of B.P.G. LTD. "It’s a way of experiencing Nassau that feels both elevated and deeply connected to its surroundings."

Hilton
For those of us who prioritize a good wellness setup, the amenities here are the real headline. The property will feature a massive 15,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, including dedicated padel and squash courts (a growing trend for high-end Caribbean stays). But the showstopper is likely to be the 5,000-square-foot infinity pool that looks like it’s spilling directly into the turquoise sea.
Hilton
The culinary side is equally ambitious, moving beyond the standard buffet with three distinct concepts: a rooftop specialty restaurant with 360-degree ocean views, a beachside all-day dining spot and a lively pool bar.

They are even adding an artisanal bakery and a curated market, perfect for the growing number of travelers who prefer a "grab and go" morning before heading out to explore the island’s shops and local culture. Since the property also includes residences, it’s clearly designed for that "live-like-a-local" luxury that today’s savvy travelers are craving.
Tony’s Chocolonely Just Dropped 2 New Chocolate Bars That Are ‘Filled to the Brim’ With Flavor
Tony's Chocolonely is expanding its chocolate bar lineup with a "delicious" new format.
The cult-favorite Dutch chocolatier consistently ranks among the best for fancy chocolates that are widely available, and fans are already gushing over its newly released "filled-to-the-brim" chocolate bars.
Recently spotted in stores, the new line is "unreal," as the brand puts it—and consumers agree, with one social media user admitting they ate an entire bar in one night.
Tony's Chocolonely Debuts 2 New Filled Chocolate Bar Flavors: Creamy Milk Chocolate Ganache and Gooey Caramel Sea Salt CrunchThe new Tony's Chocoloney variety officially debuted in the United States this week, with the company announcing the arrival of its debut flavors on Wednesday, April 15, in an Instagram post: Creamy Milk Chocolate Ganache and Gooey Caramel Sea Salt Crunch.

The global brand began rolling out the line earlier in select markets, making its first appearance in Europe this past February. Its initial launch in its home market also included a third flavor, Creamy Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch, which doesn't appear to be releasing in the U.S.—at least not yet.
The new bars that are releasing stateside are as "chunky and unequally divided as ever," just with "even more flavor-filled layers," per an official description. Each variety features a signature combination of "chunky chocolate and soft, layered fillings" with "creamy, crunchy, and gooey textures in every bite."
- Creamy Milk Chocolate Ganache: Milk chocolate bar with chocolatey ganache cream filling.
- Gooey Caramel Sea Salt Crunch: Milk chocolate bar with salted caramel filling and caramel pieces.
Reviewers would likely agree as influencer MorganChomps shared on Instagram, calling them "delicious" and "filled-to-the-brim chocolate bars."
The "FILLED chocolate bars that are truly FULL of it!" the foodie noted before the brand chimed in, suggesting, "The caramel pull is unreal."
A second responded that they "ate the whole caramel bar 🫢🫢🫢🤭 in one day!!!!"
"OMG it’s finally happening," another joked. "Everyone stay calm."
"Tony’s is so good," someone else shared. "But IMO, they should’ve really come out with at least one dark chocolate bar because that’s where it’s at!"
"Waiting for peanut butter!" one more cheered.
View this post on Instagram Where Are Tony Chocoloney's New Filled Chocolate Bars Available?So far, fans have spotted the new items on shelves at Target for about $6.49 per bar. The company said it will also be available at Walmart and Whole Foods in the coming weeks (prices may vary). Whether the variety will end up at Costco, like other varieties of its popular treats, is unclear—but not impossible.

New Bakery Loaf From Costco Is an Easy Win for Any Meal
If you've been looking for something new to add to your weekly menu, Costco's latest bakery drop is worth a closer look.
The warehouse's newest sourdough loaf works well for both sweet and savory dishes, making it easy to use across multiple meals, from breakfast to dinner. It's a bright, spring-ready flavor and one that likely won't be around for long.
Check it out in this April 17 Instagram from Juli Sandjaja @costcoaisles:
View this post on InstagramCostco's new Blueberry Sourdough Bread is a 2-pound, hearth-baked bread priced at $8.99, featuring real dried blueberries throughout for bursts of sweetness in every slice.

This loaf is a little different from traditional sourdough. It's a hybrid that combines sour culture with yeast. While this generally gives it a softer texture and a milder tang than a classic sourdough, it's still described as having a robust sour flavor.
That balance works in its favor. The light tang paired with the blueberries makes it easy to use in a variety of ways.
Ways to Use Costco's New Blueberry Sourdough LoafFor breakfast, it's an easy win. Slice it thick to soak up a custard base for French toast, with a bit of sweetness already built in. A little butter, fresh berries, and maple syrup are all it needs. Or turn it into a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich.
It also opens the door to more adventurous dinner combinations. The sweet-tangy contrast makes it a great base for grilled cheese, especially with something sharp like cheddar. You could even take it a step further and turn it into a Monte Cristo-style sandwich with ham, cheese, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Of course, it doesn't need much to stand on its own. Toasted with butter, it's the kind of loaf that's sure to disappear quickly once it's on the counter.
If you don't see it at your store just yet, new bakery items often roll out regionally, so it may take a little time to show up in all locations.
Between the flavor, versatility, and the real blueberries, this is a bakery find that feels just a little different from the usual rotation and is easy to grab on your next Costco run.
Patrick Swayze’s Widow Gives Her Brutally Honest Opinion on the Upcoming ‘Dirty Dancing’ Sequel
Lisa Niemi Swayze, who was married to Patrick Swayze for 34 years, has gotten the chance to read the new Dirty Dancing script. Although some fans were skeptical about making a sequel to the beloved film without one of its original stars, Lisa revealed that she appreciated the way the film incorporated her husband into the story.
“I actually got to read the script,” she exclusively told Us Weekly. “I was very moved by it.” She went on to say, “I’ll be very curious to see how it comes about. I wish [them] the best of luck. They’ve been working on it [for] quite a while. And I can’t wait to see it.”
In the original 1987 film, Patrick played Johnny Castle, a camp dance instructor who falls in love with Frances "Baby" Houseman, played by Jennifer Grey. Earlier this year, Grey revealed that she was going to be reprising her role in an upcoming sequel.
“The role of Baby has held a very deep and meaningful place in my heart, as it has in the hearts of so many fans over the years,” she told Deadline in January. “I’ve long wondered where we might find Baby years later and what her life might be like, but it’s taken time to assemble the kind of people that I felt could be entrusted to build on the legacy of the original film … and I’m excited to say that It looks like the wait will soon be over.”

When some fans voiced their disappointment in the sequel, since Patrick would not be involved, Grey reassured them by saying, “All I can say is there is no replacing anyone who’s passed. You never try to repeat anything that’s magic like that. You just go for something different.”
Patrick died in 2009 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, but he is still making an impact to this day. Lisa revealed, “People will say, ‘Patrick was my favorite actor. I was so in love with Patrick when I was X years old.’ And I just love it that people still love them so much. My response always is, ‘You have really good taste.’”

Nancy Guthrie Update: Former FBI Agent Raises Concerns Over DNA Handling, Says Guthrie Family Should Be 'Upset'
Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1, and investigators continue working to solve the case. Weeks into the search, no arrests have been made and she has not been located.
On April 16, ABC News reported that DNA recovered from Guthrie's Arizona home had been handed over to the FBI after it was tested for several weeks at a lab in Florida. Reports indicated that the FBI would use "advanced technology" to test said DNA. Now, former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer is weighing in.
"The fact that they’re saying the FBI has this advanced technology, they would’ve always had it," she said in a live video posted to X on Saturday, April 18. "That should really irk everyone that the sample didn’t go [to the FBI] because they would have always had the advanced technology and expertise."
Nancy Guthrie-Some important new developments need explained. https://t.co/gavqGD9R98
— Jennifer Coffindaffer (@CoffindafferFBI) April 18, 2026Coffindaffer went on to say that the reason the DNA found at Guthrie's home was sent to a lab in Florida "was based on them having the profiles established." And while she understands that logic to an extent, she says that "knowing that [the FBI] had that technology, that should really have the Guthrie family and anybody who cares about justice for Nancy Guthrie upset."
Coffindaffer said it could take months for the latest rounds of DNA testing to be completed.
Shortly after ABC News reported that the DNA—identified specifically as hair by Fox News Digital's Michael Ruiz—the Pima County Sheriff's Department released a statement, its first in nearly a month, clarifying that the department has worked in tandem with the FBI and that "DNA analysis remains ongoing."

Bill Gates and His Girlfriend Make Rare Red Carpet Appearance Together
Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, isn't one for working the red carpet. However, it seems the tech genius and philanthropist is willing to make an exception with his girlfriend, Paula Hurd, by his side.
Gates, 70, hit the red carpet with Hurd this week while attending the 12th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. The dapper couple mugged for the camera in a rare red carpet appearance, for which Gates wore a black brocade suit with a black bow tie. Hurd looked equally as elegant, wearing a black wrap dress.

Who is Bill Gates' Girlfriend, Paula Hurd?The widow of former Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, who died in 2019, Hurd worked for two decades in a variety of sales and services leadership positions at NCR Corporation, according to her biography on the Baylor University website.
Currently, Hurd "is a longtime community volunteer and philanthropist from Silicon Valley who has a passion for supporting educational and healthcare initiatives in her community as well as at Baylor University, the beloved alma mater of her late husband, Mark (BBA ’79).”
When Did Bill Gates and Paula Hurd Start Dating?After Gates got divorced from Melinda Gates in August 2021, he and Hurd were spotted together in 2022 and 2023, PEOPLE reported. However, they made their red carpet debut at the Breakthrough Prize in 2024, which is the same major event they hit the red carpet for this past weekend.
Here's a look at the couple on the same red carpet back in 2024:

What Has Bill Gates Said About Dating Paula Hurd?While Gates isn't one to speak profusely in the press about his relationships, the tycoon has shared a little bit about how much fun he's having with Hurd, who has two daughters of her own.
"I’m lucky to have a serious girlfriend named Paula," Gates said during an appearance on Today in February 2025. "We’re having fun. Going to the Olympics and lots of great things."
Eagle eyes will notice that he even thanked his lady love in the acknowledgments of his 2025 memoir, Source Code.
“Early readers of the manuscript included Paula Hurd, Marc St. John, and Sheila Gulati. The close read from dear and trusted friends provided much-needed, thoughtful, and insightful feedback at critical stages in the writing,” he mentioned in the back of the book.
1934 Classic Shirley Temple Film Gave Her the Breakthrough Role That Launched Her Career
Shirley Temple was a legendary child star who acted, sang, and danced in major motion pictures. Throughout the course of her career, she received many different awards and honors, including the Kennedy Center Honors and a Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. She also received the first-ever Academy Juvenile Award at the 7thAcademy Awards when she was 6 years old.
Temple began her career when she was only 3. In 1934, she appeared in Stand Up and Cheer!, which was considered her breakthrough film. In it, she sang and tap danced alongside James Dunn.
Fans were thrilled with her performance. As one reviewer said, "Not only was Shirley a brilliant dancer she must have been very intelligent to remember all the song lyrics. Amazing.”
Stand Up and Cheer! was released on April 19, 1934. Written by Lew Brown and Ralph Spence, the film was about boosting morale during the Great Depression, so it was filled with many different vaudeville acts and musical numbers. However, many claim that it does not hold up today.
As one reviewer said, “This film was apparently made when films were fun-to-watch ‘moving pictures’ with some music and basically no plot (or a silly plot), which means this has its charming moments, but it's nothing spectacular - there were better musicals. I wanted to watch it just to see Shirley Temple's first real performance - and she was adorable, of course.” Another simply said, “There's not much here to stand up and cheer for.”

Stand Up and Cheer! helped make Temple a household name. By the end of that year, she appeared in 10 different movies, playing the starring roles in 4 different feature-length films. Some of her most popular roles throughout her career were in Bright Eyes, Heidi, The Little Princess, and Stowaway. She also appeared on radio and television shows.
Her last film, A Kiss for Corliss, was released in 1949. Temple then shifted into a career in politics in the 1960s. In 2014, Temple died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease when she was 85.

Royal Caribbean Hits a Record 22 Destinations Across Asia’s Most Buzzworthy Cities
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to finally cross a multi-city Asia tour off your bucket list, Royal Caribbean just handed it to you on a silver platter. The line just pulled back the curtain on its 2027-2028 season for Spectrum of the Seas, and it’s a massive play for anyone who wants to see the Far East without the stress of constant flights and hotel transfers.
Spanning a record-breaking 22 destinations, this lineup is a "greatest hits" tour of Asia’s most buzzworthy coastal cities. We’re talking about everything from the neon-soaked streets of Tokyo and Osaka to the volcanic landscapes of Jeju, South Korea, and the historic charm of Da Nang, Vietnam.
What makes this season particularly interesting is the shift toward "one-way" journeys between major hubs like Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong. It’s a total game-changer for flexibility, allowing you to start your vacation in one iconic capital and end it in another.

"This new lineup reflects our ambition to deliver more diverse and immersive vacations," says Benjamin Bouldin, President of Royal Caribbean, Greater China. The focus here is clearly on depth—these aren't just "touch and go" port stops. Royal Caribbean is leaning into overnight stays in cities like Beijing and Tokyo, giving you two full days to actually get lost in the local culture, food markets and history rather than rushing back for a 5 p.m. all-aboard call.
Whether you're looking for a quick 3-night weekend escape to Busan's famous seafood markets or an 11-night festive deep-dive during Thanksgiving or Christmas, the seasonal timing is a major focus.
You can book a "Spring Blossom" journey in May to catch the hydrangeas in Jeju and peonies in Beijing, or head out in October for the "Autumn Foliage" escapes. Onboard, the Spectrum keeps that regional flair alive with spots like Sichuan Red and Teppanyaki, making sure that even when you're in the middle of the ocean, you’re still very much in the heart of Asia.
