We have a new development in the ongoing saga of Nolan Wells.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Wells was found dead on Mississippi’s Horn Island earlier this month, and his cause of death remains a mystery.

Police are still investigating the matter, and now, a friend of Wells has lawyered up over claims that the two of them fought over a shared love interest.

Earlier this week, Katie McCormick was identified as the “mystery woman” whom the 18-year-old was speaking with on the day of his disappearance.

Amateur social media sleuths are now claiming — with little to no evidence — that McCormick once dated a friend of Wells’ named Bart Edmiston Jr.

According to statements released through his attorney, Edmiston intends to file a defamation lawsuit against individuals he says falsely accused him of playing a role in Wells’ death.

The attorney also said Edmiston has received death threats as speculation surrounding the case has intensified on social media (per The Washington Times).

Wells disappeared on July 4 and was found dead two days later.

Authorities have not determined an official cause or manner of death, and investigators have repeatedly emphasized that the case remains active. A grand jury is expected to review the evidence once the investigation is complete.

The teen’s family has questioned the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, particularly after learning his cellphone was recovered separately from his body.

They have also commissioned an independent autopsy, which was unable to determine a cause of death or rule out foul play because of the condition of the remains.

Edmiston’s attorney said his client has not been identified as a suspect and denies any involvement in Wells’ death.

The attorney also rejected online rumors attempting to connect Edmiston to others involved in the case, calling those claims false and harmful.

Other friends who were with Wells have also spoken publicly in recent weeks, insisting they have cooperated with investigators and had no role in the tragedy. Several have said they have received threats since the case gained widespread attention online.

Meanwhile, Wells’ family continues to push for answers. Their legal team has sought additional digital evidence, including social media records, after raising concerns that photos or videos from Wells’ phone may be missing.

No arrests have been made, and investigators have not publicly identified any suspects. Officials have urged the public to allow the investigation to proceed while discouraging speculation that could interfere with the case.

Meanwhile, Katie McCormick’s sister has denied claims that Nolan stayed behind to pursue Katie even as his friends departed the island by boat.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

As we previously reported, Bryan Kohberger attempted to withdraw his guilty plea with a handwritten court filing on Monday.

Kohberger is currently serving four consecutive life sentences for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students.

He pled guilty to the crimes in July of 2025, but is now seeking a new trial on the grounds that he was misled by his lawyers.

According to the New York Post, Kohberger’s attempt to overturn his plea is centering on a single piece of evidence: hair recovered from one of the victims.

In a petition for post-conviction relief, Kohberger argues that unidentified hair found in the hand of victim Ethan Chapin represents potentially exculpatory evidence that was not properly disclosed before he agreed to plead guilty.

Kohberger claims that information could have affected his decision to accept a plea agreement that spared him the death penalty.

Kohberger pleaded guilty in 2025 to the murders of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves and was sentenced to four consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole.

As part of his latest filing, Kohberger alleges his attorneys provided ineffective assistance and failed to fully explain evidence that he now says could support his claim of innocence.

He has also argued that he was pressured into accepting the plea agreement through misinformation and false promises.

Retired FBI agent Chris Whitcomb has said the recovered hair did not appear consistent with Kohberger’s characteristics and was never subjected to DNA testing.

Still, legal analysts say the hair evidence is unlikely to be enough on its own to undo Kohberger’s guilty plea.

Whitcomb has suggested that investigators ultimately determined the evidence was not significant to the prosecution’s case.

Other experts have described Kohberger’s latest argument as a long shot, given the extensive evidence presented before his guilty plea.

Court records cited in multiple reports also indicate that a defense-retained DNA expert examined hair evidence and concluded it matched Ethan Chapin rather than Kohberger.

Because Kohberger waived his right to a direct appeal when he entered his guilty plea, legal experts say he now faces a difficult path to obtaining relief.

To succeed, he would generally need to show that his plea was not entered knowingly and voluntarily, that prosecutors improperly withheld exculpatory evidence, or that his attorneys provided constitutionally ineffective representation.

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told People that post-conviction petitions of this type are common but rarely successful, particularly after a negotiated guilty plea.

A judge has not yet ruled on Kohberger’s petition. Until then, his convictions and four life sentences remain in place.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

In a scathing new BBC documentary, four women accuse Jared Leto of sexually assaulting them while they were still in their teens.

Now, Leto is pushing back against allegations detailed in a new BBC documentary, with the actor and musician firmly denying claims of criminal sexual conduct.

The Oscar winner released a statement after the film Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret featured accusations from multiple women, including four who alleged misconduct occurred when they were teenagers.

Leto denied the allegations, saying he has never sexually assaulted anyone and calling the claims “absolutely and categorically false.”

“I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life,” Leto said in his response (via USA Today).

The BBC documentary includes interviews with women who accuse Leto of inappropriate and criminal behavior spanning several years.

The film features accounts from 10 women, with four women making allegations of criminal sexual conduct.

Leto has denied the allegations and maintained that the claims made against him are untrue. Leto has disputed similar accusations that have surfaced in the past.

The documentary examines numerous accusations involving Leto, who has built a decades-long career as both an actor and musician.

The film includes interviews with individuals who describe alleged encounters with him, as well as accounts from people connected to his music career.

The allegations are disputed by Leto, and no criminal charges have been announced in connection with the claims reported in the documentary.

The controversy comes as Leto remains one of Hollywood’s most recognizable performers. He won an Academy Award for his role in the 2013 Dallas Buyers Club and has also served as the lead singer of Thirty Seconds to Mars since 1998.

It’s unclear at this time if the accusations against Leto will result in any civil or criminal actions.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

In the United States, a family annihilation killing takes place approximately every 5 days.

A Michigan mother and her six children were killed in a septuple murder-suicide that ultimately claimed the lives of the family’s pets.

Prior to the killing, Amanda “Mandy” Karolkiewicz appears to have left a series of reddit posts discussing her husband — and even contemplating divorce.

Do these posts provide a clue as to the monster’s motive for allegedly murdering his wife and children?

Mandy, her six kids, and their pets all died alongside their alleged killer

According to Investigators, Kristopher Karolkiewicz shot and killed his wife, Mandy, and the couple’s six children.

The children ranged in ages from 5 to 15.

In the aftermath of the six homicides, Kristopher allegedly set fire to the family’s Grand Haven Township home and took his own life.

Authorities report that the family’s pets also died in the ensuing inferno.

The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office characterized the investigation as one of the deadliest family homicide cases in the history of the county.

A reddit account, by the username of Mandyk1179, appears to match Amanda Karolkiewicz’s life, timeline, marital history, employment, and more.

Despite no activity in recent months, Mandy appeared to have made dozens of posts spanning about two years.

Many use reddit to anonymously discuss their life and weigh difficult decisions.

This includes crowdsourcing advice on major relationship issues from hundreds or even thousands of strangers.

In Mandy’s case, she was a mom attempting to raise six children while simultaneously pursuing a teaching career. But there was more to it — including insights into Kristopher.

‘I love my kids more than I hate my husband right now’

According to her posts, Kristopher allegedly had an affair of some sort.

She considered leaving him — but was also afraid of what this would do to her kids.

“I love my kids more than I hate my husband right now,” the account attributed to Mandy wrote at one point.

Ultimately, she vowed to try to keep her family together. She wanted to create a healthier home for everyone.

Police have not released a motive for the killing during what is still a very new investigation. However, the reddit account may hold clues.

A reddit post discussing delving into Mandy’s clues and Kristopher’s possible motives observed that he was, allegedly, a man who lied about his work history and education, and tended to get fired from jobs.

Not all family annihilators have dark secrets or are abusive to their families, though some are.

Family annihilators as a whole tend to be men who believe that their family is an extension of themselves.

Some family annihilators see their families as status symbols. Other slaughter the family to “punish” them for being people instead of acting out whatever fantasy existed in his head.

Some kill the entire family purely to punish the mother, even if she is the first victim. And then there are those who believe that they’re protecting their family from something “worse” by killing them here an now.

What caused Kristopher Karolkiewicz to allegedly murder his wife and kids?

Perhaps Kristopher’s latest firing was the inciting incident. On social media, that is the prevailing theory — and it certainly fits the profile.

But we don’t know — and it’s possible that we never will. It has been more than 5 days.

Statistically, the massacre of the Karolkiewicz family was not even the most recent familicide in the US. It is possible that the latest victims have not even been found yet. This is part of our reality.

If there’s anything to take from this horrific tragedy, it’s that staying for your children might not be doing them any favors.

(But then, some killers use divorce as an excuse to commit the same heinous crime.)

You don’t need love in your heart to find love!

It turns out that Marjorie Taylor Greene’s next job is being a wife (again).

This week, she tied the knot with her fiance.

Remarkably, it was a Vegas wedding.

PHOTO ONE

On Tuesday, July 28, MTG married fiance Brian Glenn.

TMZ reports that the pair tied the knot in Las Vegas — complete with photos.

The former congresswoman wore a white wedding gown while her new husband wore a tux.

They walked right in front of row after row of slot machines on their big day.

Only in Vegas! And, specifically, the Bellagio Hotel.

According to the report, a cameraman followed the newlyweds as they played craps.

A group of kids were also reportedly present, watching the two.

MTG and her man applied for a marriage license in Clark County on July 24 — last Friday.

It is very common to seek a marriage license at least a few days in advance of a wedding. Many remain valid for a month or longer.

Of course, Vegas is almost synonymous with rapidly-assembled weddings that may be spur of the moment or even ill-advised. Only time will tell how these two fare.

However, we know that the wedding was not truly spontaneous.

MTG and Glenn became engaged in December of 2025.

At the time, the then-planning-to-retire congresswoman tweeted: “Happily Ever After.”

Notably, both Greene and Glenn recently left jobs with major conservative installations. She left a GOP-controlled congress, and Glenn left a conservative network hilariously titled “Real America’s Voice.”

It would seem that they are choosing each other. But MTG, at the very least, will still make time to post unhinged conspiracy nonsense on social media. Life’s all about finding that balance.

Greene’s falling out with Donald Trump is only one piece of a larger picture of fractured conservative alliances.

Some believe that, despite her unhinged beliefs on many topics — including her love of antisemitism and her loathing of vaccines — MTG couldn’t carry on with the Trump regime’s handling of the Epstein files.

Realizing that the man she’d supported was also a prolific monster may have felt like a betrayal.

Others, however, believe that she simply stepped away to flee a sinking ship — and could plot a political comeback once Trump is finally out of the picture.

We hope that Greene and Glenn are very happy together. So happy, in fact, that neither feels any inclination to enter the political arena in any way, shape, or form.

We have tragic news to report from the world of music today.

Kavinsky — the French DJ best known for his contributions to the 2011 Ryan Gosling film Drive — has passed away.

He was just 50 years old.

The artist, born Vincent Belorgey, was found dead at his home in Paris on Tuesday evening, according to a report from Reuters.

French authorities have opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, though prosecutors said first responders found no signs of suspicious activity at the scene.

Officials have not announced a cause of death.

According to the Paris prosecutor’s office, investigators are working to determine what led to the musician’s death.

Authorities emphasized that there was no immediate indication of foul play, but the inquiry remains active.

The news has prompted an outpouring of tributes from fans and fellow musicians around the world.

Kavinsky rose to international prominence with his 2010 single “Nightcall,” which found a massive audience after appearing on the Drive soundtrack.

The haunting synthwave anthem became synonymous with the film and helped establish Kavinsky as one of the defining artists of the retro-inspired electronic music movement.

More recently, the musician introduced his signature sound to a new generation when he performed “Nightcall” during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics alongside Belgian singer Angèle.

The performance renewed interest in the song and further cemented its place in pop culture.

French leaders were among those honoring the late performer.

French Culture Minister Catherine Pégard described Kavinsky as one of the country’s “most singular voices,” praising music that was both nostalgic and timeless.

French President Emmanuel Macron also paid tribute, calling the artist “forever a source of French pride.”

Kavinsky leaves behind a legacy that stretched well beyond France, with “Nightcall” remaining one of the most recognizable electronic tracks of the past two decades.

Additional details about his death have not yet been released as authorities continue their investigation.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

In the meantime, our condolences go out to Kavinsky’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

One of the many, many messy pieces of the Summer House fallout was a wild detail.

In their four years of marriage, Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke never had sex.

Why did that happen? Well, they’re now explaining that there were several factors.

One of them was that Cooke tried to have her read a book about dating an entrepreneur.

‘There were no dates’

At the Summer House reunion, both Cooke and Batula revealed that they had never actually consummated their marriage.

On July 28, during Part 2 of the In The City reunion, Batula explained that “part of it” was an issue with her mental health.

“Depression will do that,” she said simply.

Even before they married in 2021, their sex life was a topic in therapy.

“I wasn’t getting courted. There were no dates,” Batula explained. “He would work all day, work all night, then come to bed, tell me an email, and then try to have sex with me.”

“It felt like there was no foreplay. There was no emotional intimacy. There was no conversation,” Batula lamented.

She summarized: “There was nothing else happening in the relationship.”

“I felt like I was just an object at that point,” Batula expressed, understandably.

“Then the depression hit also, and then it was just an unfortunate storm,” she characterized.

Batula noted: “Then he would still go out. He would still do these things. We get into big fights –”

‘Your solution was for me to read a book on how to date an entrepreneur’

This is when Cooke interrupted.

“Can you imagine?” he asked, seemingly seeking sympathy.

“Like this is not like a guy-girl thing,” he characterized.

“But like we get married, Cooke described, “and there’s just, like, we never have sex.”

They did clarify that the never was hyperbolic. Batula and Cooke confirmed that they had sex three times in their four-year marriage.

“Every date we ever went on, trip, getaway, I’m putting in the hours now or then, so we can provide for a family later,” Cooke explained. Which is to say that his unhinged grind mindset (grindset) was a factor.

“It takes a toll on our romantic and intimate relationship,” Batula explained. “Your solution was for me to read a book on how to date an entrepreneur.”

She continued: “So like you’re literally saying exactly what I’m saying is that you worked really hard for our future, but it did have an effect on our marriage and our relationship.”

You know that moment in A Muppet’s Christmas Carol when young Scrooge and his would-be wife sing about how their love is gone because he’s too fixated on building a career and fortune and forgot to nurture their relationship?

It sounds like that, but way more modern and way more cringe.

Many people are entrepreneurs. Guys who use that specific identity as a label are often waving a red flag, however.
