NEWS BREAK: NANCY GUTHRIE UPDATE

The search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, is nearing the one-month mark and authorities have still yet to identify the suspect(s) in the case. A $1 million reward has been offered by the Guthrie family for information that results in the whereabouts of their missing family member.

As the 84-year-old remains missing, both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Pima County Sheriff's Department made sudden changes to their personnel. Earlier this week, after a final search of the Guthrie home, the FBI withdrew most of its officials and investigators from Tucson, sending them to Phoenix. Just two days later, the Pima County Sheriff's Department followed suit, pulling additional officers off the case.

“This remains an active investigation and will continue until Nancy Guthrie is located or all leads have been exhausted,” the statement read. “The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is refocusing resources to detectives specifically assigned to this case. As leads are developed and resolved, resource allocation may fluctuate. PCSD will maintain a patrol presence in the Guthrie neighborhood.”

While that seemed like an ominous sign for the case, NewsNation's Brian Entin explained.
Why FBI, Pima County Sheriff's Department Likely Moved Personnel

Entin believes the FBI moving back to Phoenix "makes sense" due to the overwhelming amount of video evidence they need to pour over.

“The fact they’re going back to Phoenix doesn’t really surprise me, and I don’t think it impacts the investigation that much. It just doesn’t feel that active in Tucson. They are still going to keep a contingent of FBI agents on the ground here in Tucson," he said.

"In terms of the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, I’m told they are still keeping a number of detectives on the case, but it won’t be all the detectives like it was.”

The Guthrie family recently took action by appearing to install a new security system in the 84-year-old's home following a final sweep from the FBI.

THE FINAL WORD ON YLENIA CARRISI

 While searching for updates on the disappearance of Tyrone Power's granddaughter 32 years ago, I came across this story by the investigator from 2017...

I still receiving many e-mails from different part of the world in different languages in reference to Ylenia Carrisi case,and once for all I will make this statement I will NOT give out ANY information on Ylenia case. And this is the last time that I will give you my final report on this case, therefore read it very careful with an open mind and I am sure you will get the answer to your question's.:

Getting lost in New Orleans has long had a certain cachet. The people who lives there saying the city is unique, the food spicier, the music livelier, the mysteries stranger. But the mystery of Ylenia is distinctive even by New Orleans standards.

The main characters are a former American matinee idol's granddaughter and a mesmerizing street musician. The scene is the waterfront and the streets of the French Quarter. Swirling in the background is the blend of Spanish, French and African cultures that has drawn writers like Lafcadio Hearn and William Faulkner and apparently Ylenia working on her book.

The Italian news media, which has recounted every twist of the mystery on newscasts and in newspapers news full of incorrect information’s and defamatory accusation’s including a possible sic relation with Masakela and the uses of narcotics from Ylenia all shallow low blows to increment the sale of a magazine. In addition they (Italian Media) even hinted of voodoo. Semi celebrity in Italy, simply horrible individuals like GENTE, STOP, CHI L’HA VISTO and the surrounding sharks in the picture like Roberto Fiasconaro only there for the news and the $.

Ylenia Carrisi, a 23-year-old blonde with green eyes, disappeared on Jan. 6, a week after arriving in New Orleans, leaving behind her passport and some baggage. That night A young woman, whose body has never been found, jumped into the Mississippi River at the edge of the French Quarter and vanished. The questions she left behind are still unanswered.

Ylenia is a minor television celebrity in Italy, for a short time a counterpart of Vanna White on an Italian game show. But she is best known as the daughter of two Italian singers, Al Bano and Romina Power, and as the granddaughter of the American actor Tyrone Power and his actress wife, Linda Christian.

Ylenia and her parents came to New Orleans on vacation last July, says Fabrizio Mazza, the Italian Consul in New Orleans, and Ylenia meat again street musician, Alexander Masakela, a 54-year-old cornet player Individual that already meet the Carrisi and Ylenia in Italy at the Carrisi city of Cellino with a Jamaican accent. Enchanted by the city and apparently by Masakela, Ylenia stayed behind when her parents went on to Florida, saying she wanted to continued write her book.

According to our investigative discovery Ylenia rushed to Florida two days later, telling her parents that she feared that two men were trying to drug and kill her.

Nevertheless, Ylenia, who was on leave from her studies at the University of London, returned to New Orleans on Dec. 30. Our investigative discovery quoted that Romina as saying that her daughter wanted to "find characters for a book she was writing." And no fear for her daughter to return after Ylenia clearly stated “two men trying to drug me and kill me” No Police report nothing!!

Then Ylenia mingled with street musicians and the homeless, and took notes. She stayed with Masakela in a scruffy hotel on St. Charles Street, five blocks from the French Quarter, where Masakela played his cornet for donations.

Mike Stark, who owns a French Quarter mask and hat store called The Little Shop of Fantasy, said that some homeless people he knows told him that Ylenia worked "very hard at being a street person."

On Jan 6. At 11 P.M., A young woman jumped into the Mississippi River near the Aquarium of the Americas, on the edge of the French Quarter. Shortly before, she had told a security guard, Albert Cordova wearing very thick vision glasses “I belong in the water." The woman swam through the fast brown currents about 100 yards toward the middle of the river.

A barge then came by, making waves. The woman screamed for help and then vanished. The Coast Guard searched 90 miles of the river, almost to the Gulf of Mexico, and found only the body of an unidentified man.

The security guard, Albert Cordova, has uncertainly identified photos of Ylenia as depicting the woman who spoke to him.

According to our investigations and interview’s local residences told us there is a magic about that river. People who've been drinking too much can believe, 'I can swim that damn thing.' "
Ylenia parents last heard from their daughter on Jan. 1, and despite her deceptive drowning, they say they fear she is being held hostage. Why??

On Feb. 18 they issued a statement from Switzerland, saying, "The investigations to find our daughter alive, and probably held against her will, are actively being pursued." It also said "there have been numerous and reliable sightings worthy of pursuit." That very week, for example, came an unconfirmed report that Ms. Carrisi had been seen in St. Augustine, Fla. But an NCIC was issued to Ylenia Maria Sole Carrisi that # M705944984 number that later on will disappeared.

Masakela has not been accused of any wrongdoing, but Ylenia parents say they are suspicious of him. He had "some kind of power over her, Romina said at a New Orleans news conference after her daughter vanished.

Masakela has no official address and has proved elusive in recent weeks, but in an interview he said Ylenia "I believe she is safe."

The police say only that the investigation is continuing as an inactive case!

During our investigations in New Orleans we interview many residents, who note that it would not be the first time a stranger has come to the city and disappeared from her previous life.

And many including laws officers told me New Orleans is "a magical town" that attracts many people "who are trying to escape from wherever they've been." This what append to Ylenia? That she was trying to escape from wherever she’s been? We know and we can prove that the jumping into the river was the biggest untruth story ever told. And in addition Ylenia body was never found therefore my friends no body Ylenia Maria Sole Carrisi she is alive and I be acquainted with this facts and why all this happened? Remember some peoples trying to escape from wherever they've been and live a new life! And I am ok with this now that I know the actuality of the facts.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF YLENIA CARRISI

Many people are unaware of the sad disappearance of actor Tyrone Power's beautiful grand-daughter Ylenia Maria Sole Carrisi. It is a mystery that has yet to be solved even over 20 years after her disappearance.

Carrisi was born in Rome on November 29, 1970, the eldest daughter of Albano Carrisi and Romina Power. Her maternal grandparents are American actor Tyrone Power and Mexican actress Linda Christian.

In 1983, she appeared alongside her parents in the Italian film Champagne in paradiso. Later on, she was the letter-turner on La Ruota Della Fortuna, the Italian version of Wheel of Fortune. She envisaged for herself a career as a novelist, studying literature at King's College London, where she received the highest marks in her year.

During her studies, she began to entertain the idea of traveling the world solo with nothing but a backpack and her journal. She decided to take a break from studying and returned to Italy where she sold all her belongings in order to pay for the voyage. She began in South America. After having spent a few months in Belize, she decided to leave the day after Christmas 1993 by bus to New Orleans, Louisiana. Her brother Yari, also an experienced traveler, had decided to surprise his sister by visiting her that Christmas. He arrived on a rainy 27 December in the village of Hopkins, going door to door in search for her, only to find that the day before, she had hopped on a bus heading to Mexico. Unfortunately, he arrived 24 hours too late for she was already heading to New Orleans, where she disappeared on January 6, 1994.

Ylenia was last seen in the French Quarter area sometime during the month. Police efforts to find her did not yield any result. At the time of her disappearance, Ylenia was staying in the LeDale Hotel with African-American street musician Alexander Masakela, twenty years her senior. Masakela was arrested on January 31 on an unrelated charge but eventually released for lack of evidence to connect him to Ylenia's disappearance.

In relation to her disappearance, a security guard testified that he saw a woman vaguely matching her description jump into the Mississippi River saying the words "I belong into water". A Coast Guard search turned up no sign of the young woman's body, which may have been washed out to sea. In any case, it has never been established that the person was Ylenia. In 1996, two years after her disappearance, an unspecified caller assured emphatically that Ylenia was still alive but her whereabouts were unknown.

Carrisi's parents last heard from their daughter on New Year's Eve. They reported her missing on January 18.  In November 2006, Albano stated for the first time that he believed the security guard's story. In January 2013 he requested the declaration of the presumed death of his daughter. She was reportedly discovered in June 2011 in a monastery in the United States. Her father dismissed the report as "shameful speculation containing not a bit of truth.". The mystery has yet to be solved...

WHY IS THERE NO BIGFOOT IN HAWAII?

Bigfoot has long been the king of North American folklore, a towering, hairy figure said to roam the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest and the rugged mountains of the Rockies. For decades, blurry photographs and shaky eyewitness accounts have kept the legend alive, fueling endless debates about whether such a creature could exist. But in Hawaii, the silence is deafening. No footprints in volcanic soil, no grainy photos near palm trees, no late-night encounters on jungle trails. Why is Bigfoot absent from paradise?

The answer begins with geography. Hawaii is one of the most isolated landmasses on Earth, sitting more than two thousand miles from the nearest continent. For Bigfoot to reach the islands, it would need to swim across the Pacific or hitch a ride on a canoe—a feat that defies biology and common sense. Unlike species that arrived naturally or were introduced by humans, a giant primate would have no plausible migration route to Hawaii. The ocean is an impenetrable barrier, and Bigfoot, for all its supposed strength, is not a creature built for open-water travel.

Then there is ecology. Hawaii’s ecosystem evolved without large mammals. There are no native bears, wolves, or primates—only birds, insects, and marine life. Bigfoot, often described as a terrestrial omnivore requiring vast forests and abundant prey, would find Hawaii’s environment unsuitable. The islands lack the sprawling temperate forests and large game populations that cryptid enthusiasts claim Bigfoot needs to survive. Even the lush rainforests of Kauai or Maui cannot provide the resources a creature of that size would require.

Culture offers another clue. Hawaiian mythology is rich with supernatural beings—night marchers, Menehune, and spirits tied to the land—but none resemble Bigfoot. If a giant ape-like creature had ever roamed the islands, it would likely appear in oral traditions passed down through generations. Instead, the absence of such legends suggests Bigfoot is a continental myth, not a Pacific one. The stories that haunt Hawaii’s nights belong to its own unique pantheon, not to the forests of Washington or Oregon.

Finally, there is the modern reality. Despite Hawaii’s popularity with tourists and hikers, there are zero credible Bigfoot reports from the islands. In an age of smartphones and social media, the lack of evidence speaks volumes. While Sasquatch enthusiasts argue that Bigfoot is elusive, Hawaii’s compact geography and high human presence make total invisibility improbable. If Bigfoot were here, someone would have seen it, photographed it, or posted about it by now.

So why is there no Bigfoot in Hawaii? Because the islands’ isolation, ecology, and cultural history make it virtually impossible. Bigfoot remains a creature of mainland forests—a phantom of the pines, not the palms. The legend belongs to the misty mountains and endless woodlands of North America, not to the volcanic slopes and tropical beaches of the Pacific. In Hawaii, the only giants are waves, and the only mysteries are those whispered by the ocean...

THE WIZARD OF OZ CURSE

The Wizard of Oz is remembered as one of Hollywood’s most magical films, but behind the shimmering Technicolor lies a darker legend—a supposed curse that haunted its cast and crew. While the idea of a supernatural hex makes for a chilling tale, the truth is far more human, and perhaps even more unsettling.

The production was fraught with danger from the start. Buddy Ebsen, the original Tin Man, nearly died after inhaling aluminum powder used in his makeup, forcing him to abandon the role. His replacement, Jack Haley, fared only slightly better, suffering an eye infection from the revised formula. Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch of the West, endured second- and third-degree burns during a fiery stunt gone wrong, and her stunt double was hospitalized after a broom prop exploded. Even the snow that blanketed the poppy field was toxic—made entirely of asbestos, a substance now infamous for its deadly effects.

These accidents were real, but they weren’t the work of a curse. They were the result of early Hollywood’s relentless pursuit of spectacle, where safety often took a back seat to innovation. Yet rumors persisted. Some claimed a Munchkin actor hanged himself on set, pointing to a shadowy figure in the background of a forest scene. In reality, it was a bird brought in to make the set look more alive. Others whispered about Judy Garland being forced onto harsh diets and drugs to maintain her youthful appearance—a tragic truth exaggerated into something even darker.

Film historians like John Fricke have spent decades debunking these myths, reminding us that the chaos on set was born of ambition, not the supernatural. Still, the legend of the curse endures, fueled by fascination with Hollywood’s golden age and the eerie contrast between the film’s whimsical charm and the suffering behind the scenes.

In the end, The Wizard of Oz remains a masterpiece, but its magic came at a cost. Not a curse, but a cautionary tale—a reminder that even the most enchanting stories can hide shadows behind the curtain...

THE KENNEDY CONSPIRACY: LYNDON B. JOHNSON

Lyndon B. Johnson’s ascent to the presidency on November 22, 1963—just hours after John F. Kennedy was assassinated—sparked a flurry of speculation. Among the most persistent conspiracy theories is the claim that Johnson, motivated by ambition and internal tensions, orchestrated the assassination. But how credible are these notions?

In the immediate aftermath of Kennedy’s death, President Johnson moved quickly to establish the Warren Commission to investigate the tragedy. The commission, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren and appointed by Johnson on November 29, 1963, reviewed 552 witness testimonies and extensive evidence from the FBI, Secret Service, and other agencies. Its conclusion was decisive: Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone; no domestic or international conspiracy was confirmed. 

Despite these findings, conspiracy theories swirled—some mentioning Johnson. As noted by historian Kaleena Fraga, Johnson and Kennedy had a strained relationship. Rumors suggested Johnson feared he might be replaced on the ticket in 1964. Books such as The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ—co-authored by controversial figure Roger Stone—cite an offhand remark allegedly attributed to Richard Nixon: “Lyndon and I both wanted to be President, the difference was I wouldn’t kill for it.” But mainstream historians acknowledge these claims lack concrete evidence.  

Modern investigations continue to reject Johnson involvement. The Encyclopedia Britannica describes his ambition and complex relationship with the Kennedys, but notes “there is scant evidence that Lyndon B. Johnson was actually involved in the assassination.” Despite motives suggested by conspiracy theorists, historical records remain inconclusive and unsubstantiated. 

In recent years, sensational claims have occasionally resurfaced—such as alleged leaked audio implicating Johnson and an alleged hitman. These stories, however, often originate from partisan or fringe sources (like Alex Jones), and lack rigorous authentication.

Official government actions further dismantle conspiracy claims. The Warren Commission’s comprehensive review, backed by unanimous agreement among leaders of the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and Kennedy’s own Attorney General brother, Robert F. Kennedy, supports the single-shooter theory. A later House Select Committee on Assassinations (1976–79) did conclude a probable conspiracy, but it did not implicate Johnson, instead highlighting potential acoustic anomalies and unidentified second shooters—without naming any high‑level orchestrator...

THE SLAUGHTER OF RITA CAMILLERI

In July 2019, Jessica Camilleri, a 25-year-old Australian, murdered her 57-year-old mother, Rita Camilleri, by stabbing her at least 100 times with multiple knives, four of which broke during the attack. She then decapitated her mother and carried her head out onto the street.

Despite warnings from a neighbor and family friend that Jessica posed a serious threat, Rita remained convinced of her daughter's innocence, stating, "Not my Jessica, she wouldn't hurt a fly." Two weeks later, Rita was dead.

Rita Camilleri was a kindhearted, selfless 57 year old mother and grandmother who met an awful fate at the hand of her own flesh and blood, her daughter Jessica. Jessica, then 27, suffered from numerous mental health conditions and refused to get the help she so desperately needed, despite the efforts of Rita and other family members. As a result the unthinkable happened.

Jessica initially claimed she acted in self-defense, stating her mother had tried to k*ll her. However, she later admitted to a forensic psychologist that she had "hacked like a butcher" and twisted her mother's head off.

In 2021, Jessica was found not guilty of murder due to "substantial mental health issues," including ADHD and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and was instead sentenced to 21 years in prison, with a non-parole period of 16 years, for the lesser charge of manslaughter...
