A family of three disappeared in northern Arizona while traveling from the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas earlier this month on vacation, according to local authorities.

The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in finding Jiyeon Lee, 23; Taehee Kim, 69; and Junghee Kim, 64.

The family was last known to be traveling together in a rented white BMW on Interstate 40 around 3:30 p.m. local time on March 13, per the vehicle’s GPS.

That day, winter weather in Arizona led to a deadly crash on that same road near Williams, Arizona, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

“The collision involved a total of 22 vehicles, including 13 passenger vehicles. A total of 36 drivers and occupants were involved in the incident, including two fatalities, and 16 injured persons were transported for medical care,” the department’s Facebook post reads in part.

The site of the crash is roughly an hour’s drive from the Grand Canyon and on the way to Las Vegas via I-40.

The missing family’s rental car has the California license plate 9KHN768.

“Law enforcement is aware of the large multivehicle accident that occurred on I40 on this day; however it is not known if this vehicle was involved in the accident,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information about the family’s whereabouts to contact them.

21/03/2025

South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has filed a criminal lawsuit against the family of the late actress Kim Sae Ron and YouTuber Kim Sae-eui, operator of the Garo Sero Research Institute channel. The lawsuit alleges that Kim Sae Ron’s family provided a compromising photo of Kim Soo Hyun to Kim Sae-eui, who then broadcasted it without consent. The charges include violations related to the unauthorized distribution of intimate images.  

The photo in question, reportedly taken during Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron’s past relationship, shows the actor partially n**e while doing dishes. Gold Medalist emphasized that this private image was never intended for public viewing.  

This legal action follows a series of events after Kim Sae Ron’s tragic death by su***de on February 16, 2025. Her family claimed that Kim Soo Hyun entered into a relationship with her when she was 15, while he was 27. However, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency contends that their relationship began when Kim Sae Ron was an adult.  

In response, Kim Sae Ron’s family has demanded a public apology from Kim Soo Hyun and is considering legal action against him for defamation, asserting that his denial of the early relationship damages the late actress’s reputation. 

Additionally, the family has filed a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Lee Jin Ho for allegedly spreading false information about Kim Sae Ron, contributing to her emotional distress prior to her death. 

These intertwined legal proceedings underscore the escalating tensions between Kim Soo Hyun and the family of Kim Sae Ron, highlighting complex issues of privacy, consent, and posthumous reputation.

20/03/2025

Nearly a year after her disappearance, Nikki Cheng Saelee-McCain’s case has been officially reclassified as a homicide, according to the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office. 

The 39-year-old mother of four and Redding resident was last heard from on May 18, 2024, just days after texting her family about her plans to divorce her husband, Tyler McCain, authorities said.

Originally filed as a missing persons investigation, the case is now ruled a homicide.

“Since the initial investigation, detectives have worked tirelessly to locate Nikki and to determine the events leading to her disappearance,” the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

It added that with assistance from Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, multiple search warrants have been executed at various locations, including her last known residence at 17277 Olinda Road in Anderson.

“Detectives have determined Nikki is a victim of homicide,” the agency said, noting that even though the investigation has identified several persons of interest, their identities remain undisclosed due to the ongoing nature of the case.

Last week, Tyler McCain and the Cheng Saelee-McCain family renewed their call for public help in the search for the missing mother, who would have turned 40 in November.

“I haven’t been in the public eye and … I haven’t done very well with it,” McCain said, according to Action News Now. “I apologize to everyone, especially my children, my wife’s family and mine, as well.”

Cheng Saelee-McCain was reported missing by family members on May 22, 2024. Three days later, on May 25, her vehicle, a 2002 Chevy Avalanche, was found abandoned in a remote area of Tehama County.

Her disappearance came shortly after Tyler McCain was arraigned on felony domestic violence charges. According to KRCR News, the case was dismissed when Cheng Saelee-McCain failed to appear for a follow-up trial hearing.

In the months following her disappearance, two fires — the Olinda Fireand Yolla Fire — were reported near the McCain residence. The fires, which occurred in July 2024, are believed to have destroyed vehicles belonging to the McCains.

A 103-year-old woman in China has died after waiting for the return of her husband for more than eight decades.

Du Huzhen died at home in Guizhou province, in southwestern China, on March 8, according to an obituary by her family which did not detail a cause of death.

Before her death, the centenarian held an old pillow cover in her hand which she used when she got married in 1940, said her family, the Shanghai Morning Post reported.

Du was three years older than her husband Huang Junfu.

Soon after their marriage, Huang joined the Kuomintang army and left to fight in battles across the country.

In 1943, Du found Huang and stayed with him as he did his military service until she fell pregnant and returned home.

She gave birth to their son, Huang Fachang, in January of 1944. Days after their son’s birth, Huang Junfu returned home to deal with his mother’s funeral.

Not long after, Huang Junfu left home to return to the army and never returned.

He did send letters, but the last one was written on January 15, 1952.

“For Fachang’s education, you should let him attach importance on studying no matter how poor the family is. There will definitely be some time for our reunion,” Huang said in the letter.

The paper he used indicated he was working at a Chinese construction company in Malaysia.

During her husband’s absence, Du supported the family by doing farm work during the day and weaving straw sandals and cloth in the evening.

She refused other proposals of marriage, saying “what if he returns someday?”

Documents from a government department of Zunyi county which deals with overseas Chinese affairs showed that Huang Junfu settled in Malaysia in 1950 before moving to Singapore several years later.

The authorities said they had no more information about him.

Du’s family said they had tried various means to search for Huang Junfu, including posting notices in newspapers and hiring foreign agencies.

Granddaughter, Huang Liying, said Du appeared to be at peace when she died, as if she saw a vision of a reunion with her husband.

She said her family will continue to fulfil Du’s wishes and try to find Huang Junfu and his descendants.

Yesterday in Tokyo, a notable event took place involving Shohei Ohtani and renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The two collaborated to co-sign a unique 1-of-1 dual autograph art print trading card produced by Topps, blending the worlds of professional baseball and contemporary art.

This exclusive card is part of the 2025 Topps x Murakami MLB Tokyo Series Matchup Set, a 25-card collection featuring Murakami’s distinctive artwork celebrating players from both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs. Each set includes parallels and autographs, with the most coveted item being the dual-autographed card by Ohtani and Murakami. Priced at $120 per hobby box, these sets have garnered significant attention from collectors and fans alike.

In addition to the card signing, Ohtani was presented with a special gift: the #17 of 26 Murakami x MLB Elite Dodgers Jersey from Fanatics. This jersey is part of a collaboration between Murakami and MLB, resulting in a limited edition collection that infuses Murakami’s iconic vibrant colors and playful motifs into official MLB merchandise. The collection includes Nike MLB t-shirts, hoodies, and official Nike Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs jerseys.

These collaborations coincide with the MLB Tokyo Series, where the Dodgers and Cubs are set to play. The integration of Murakami’s art into MLB merchandise and memorabilia not only celebrates the sport but also bridges the gap between contemporary art and baseball culture, offering fans unique and collectible items that commemorate this special event.

China’s biggest hotpot chain Haidilao has offered to compensate more than 4,000 diners who visited one of its Shanghai branches, where two teens urinated into their hotpot broth.

A video of the boys peeing into their broth pot while dining in a private room was widely shared online last month. It is not clear who might have filmed the incident.
Police said the 17-year-olds, who were drunk at the time, were detained soon after the incident.

There is no suggestion anyone consumed the affected broth. Haidilao has apologised to customers, saying it has replaced all hotpot equipment and dining utensils, as well as disinfecting other crockery and utensils.

The incident happened late in February, though the company’s management only found out about it days later, after videos circulated on social media.
Haidilao said the staff on duty at the time had failed to stop the teens.

It took another week to find out which outlet it was, the company said, as it has dozens of outlets in the city.
Diners in Haidilao use their own personal hotpot equipment to cook their food, and broths are not re-used again for other customers. However, it is unclear in this case if the hotpot in question was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before it was used by the next customer.
“We fully understand that the distress caused to our customers by this incident cannot be fully compensated for by any means, but we will do our utmost to take responsibility,” the company said in a statement.

Haidilao said customers who dined at the outlet between 24 February and 8 March will receive a full refund, followed by cash compensation that is 10 times the amount they were billed.

The company has expanded quickly since it opened its first restaurant in Jianyang in Sichuan province. It now operates more than 1,000 restaurants across the world.
Haidilao is known for its customer service and family-friendly atmosphere, where ladies can receive manicures and kids are treated to candy floss while waiting for a table.

South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun is facing intense public scrutiny following allegations regarding his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. The controversy erupted after claims surfaced that Kim began dating Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor. His agency, Gold Medalist, has denied these allegations, stating their relationship occurred between 2019 and 2020, when she was of legal age.

The situation escalated when Kim Sae-ron’s aunt accused Kim Soo-hyun of initially pursuing the actress when she was 15 and later distancing himself after her DUI incident in 2022. She also alleged that his agency contributed to Kim Sae-ron’s financial struggles, which reportedly played a role in her tragic death by su***de on February 16, 2025—coincidentally Kim Soo-hyun’s birthday.

The backlash has significantly impacted Kim Soo-hyun’s career. Prada has cut ties with him, and his estimated 19 brand deals—including luxury, fashion, cosmetics, finance, and retail brands—are now at risk. Beauty brand Dinto has already halted promotional activities featuring him. Additionally, he has lost approximately 300,000 Instagram followers, with netizens calling for a widespread boycott.

His upcoming Disney+ K-drama Knock-Off, co-starring Jo Bo-ah, has also met boycott demands, though production remains on schedule. As the controversy unfolds, Kim Soo-hyun’s career hangs in the balance, with ongoing public and industry reactions shaping his future in the entertainment world.

The long-term impact on Kim Soo-hyun’s career remains uncertain, as industry stakeholders and the public await further developments.

An Easley, South Carolina, mother is accused of having a baby in an apartment and then killing the infant after the delivery.

Police said first responders were called Friday night to come to a home on Nations Way in Easley for a woman in medical distress.

They said they found out when they arrived that the woman had recently given birth and her child was found dead with serious injuries.

An arrest warrant said An T Ngo delivered a baby boy in the home on Friday. It said during delivery, and after, she repeatedly stabbed the newborn with a metal letter opener until he died.

“Ms. Ngo did have the baby in the apartment,” Easley Police Chief Brandon Liner said during a news conference on Tuesday. “It is very apparent that Ms. Ngo is the one that tragically murdered this child.”

Ngo is charged with homicide by child abuse.

“I will be honest with you: I’ve been doing this two and a half decades, and I’ve never seen anything this gruesome,” Liner said. “I’ve never seen anything this bad.”

The arrest warrant said Ngo cut the umbilical cord, placed the child in a trash bag, and put it in another room.

Ngo showed an extreme indifference to human life by conducting this act of violence and then not seeking medical attention for the newborn, the arrest warrant said.

Easley police and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division are investigating.

Ngo appeared before a judge for an arraignment hearing Tuesday afternoon at the Easley Municipal Court. She was given no bond. The judge said that because of her charge’s seriousness, a circuit court would need to set that.

13/03/2025

MELBOURNE, Australia — A man from Memphis, Tennessee, was sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife during their honeymoon in Fiji in 2022, a court official said Friday.

Bradley Robert Dawson, 40, will have to serve at least 18 years in prison before he can be considered for release, a Fiji High Court registry official in Lautoka said.

Dawson was convicted in December of murdering his wife, Christe Chen, who was then 36, at the exclusive Turtle Island resort in the Yasawa archipelago two days after the newlyweds arrived in the South Pacific nation. He then fled by kayak to a nearby island.

He was sentenced by Justice Riyaz Hamza on Wednesday.

Hamza told Dawson he had shown disregard for Chen’s right to life and her personal liberty.

“Your conduct after the incident was appalling. Having inflicted serious and life-threatening injuries to the deceased you fled the scene of the crime, leaving the deceased alone and helpless,” Hamza said, according to The Fiji Times newspaper.

Chen’s body was discovered in the couple’s room by resort staff with multiple blunt trauma wounds to her head after the couple was heard arguing and did not appear at breakfast or lunch the next day.

Dawson pleaded not guilty to the charge and was tried over eight days.

His lawyer Anil Prasad told the court that prosecutors had failed to provide sufficient evidence to convict Dawson, the Fijian Broadcasting Corp. reported.

Prasad said that while the prosecution alleged that Dawson was planning to flee Fiji, authorities failed to acknowledge that many of the couple’s personal belongings remained at the resort.

Prasad also said Dawson had no injuries to suggest he had been involved in a physical altercation with his wife.

But the judge said he was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Dawson and no one else had committed the crime.

Under Fijian law, prisoners can apply for parole after serving a minimum term set by a court, although the parole board is currently unstaffed. Critics argue the lack of an effective parole option is a cause of prison overcrowding.

American live-streamer Johnny Somali (real name: Ramsey Khalid Ismael) is facing deportation after pleading guilty to multiple charges in South Korea. Known for his controversial and offensive content, he sparked outrage with his behavior, which included:

⚠️ Disrupting a live music performance in Seoul
⚠️ Playing obscene sounds on public transportation
⚠️ Disrespecting the Statue of Peace, a memorial for WWII “comfort women”
⚠️ Harassing a convenience store worker and causing damage

Somali arrived an hour late for the hearing, which was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on March 7 at Seoul Western District Court, citing a stomachache.
He was wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, the symbol and slogan of US President Donald Trump. He was asked to remove it, because wearing a hat is not allowed in South Korean courtrooms.

Seo Kyoung-duk, professor of general education at Sungshin Women’s University in Seoul, who is known for promoting Korean culture and history of his own accord, claimed that the US streamer, while attending the hearing, displayed inappropriate behavior, including responding to the judge’s questions while having his hands in his pockets.

Following his actions, he was indicted for “obstruction of business,” which carries a penalty of up to 5 years in prison or a fine of 15 million won (~$11,300). His guilty plea has made deportation highly likely, though sentencing is still pending.

This case has ignited debates on influencer accountability and cultural respect. Should countries take stricter action against disruptive content creators? Drop your thoughts below! ⬇️

At the astonishing age of 108, Sh*tsui Hakoishi has been certified as the world’s oldest female barber.
Her impressive title was confirmed by LongeviQuest.

Sh*tsui’s salon is around a three-hour drive from Tokyo, located on the fringe of Tochigi Prefecture surrounded by mountains. In her compact workspace, one will find vintage items such as a pair of scissors that she has been using since the pre-war period.

She was born to a family of farmers on 10 November 1916, when the world was still in the midst of the First World War.

Sh*tsui decided to become a barber at the age of 14 when her friend’s mother asked whether she would like to become an apprentice at a hair salon in Tokyo. She packed her bags and headed to the city, all on her own.

In 1934, at the age of 18, Sh*tsui passed the barber examination and soon became a popular barber at the shops she worked in.

Sh*tsui married Jiro at the age of 24, and opened her own salon with her husband and they were later blessed with two children.

But tragedy soon struck. Jiro was conscripted to the army during the Second Sino-Japanese War and died. Sh*tsui’s salon, which doubled as her family home, was reduced to ashes during the bombing of Tokyo by the US military.

Thankfully, both Sh*tsui and her children were safe as they had already evacuated to her hometown in Tochigi.

In 1953, Sh*tsui opened salon Rihatsu Hakoishi in Nakagawa-machi, and she is working there to this day.

In an interview with Tennen-Seikatsu, Sh*tsui said she sticks to “three nevers”: never hold a grudge, never be jealous, and never fight with others. This was something Sh*tsui’s mother had taught her. In the same interview, she said that hurting others will always come back to hurt you.

Sh*tsui spends most of her time in a care home, yet she is still able to look after herself. And whenever her old clients ring up for a haircut, she will be there.

Becoming a Guinness World Records title holder was at the top of Sh*tsui’s to-do lists in recent years, and she is glad to have finally ticked this one off.

Southwest Airlines boasts that its passengers’ “bags fly free” — but not for long.

Starting May 28 — just in time for the busy summer travel season — only Southwest’s most elite Rapid Rewards A-List Preferred members and passengers who book their top-tier Business Select fares will receive two free checked bags. Frequent flyer A-List Members, Southwest-branded credit card holders and other select customers will be allowed one checked bag.

Everyone else will be charged for their first and second checked bags on flights booked on or after May 28, the carrier says.

It’s a break with Southwest’s 54 year history — one that could undermine customer loyalty to the carrier, according to experts.

“This is how you destroy a brand. This is how you destroy customer preference. This is how you destroy loyalty. And this, I think, is going to send Southwest into a financial tailspin,” airline industry analyst Henry Harteveldt, of Atmosphere Research Group, told CBS News senior transportation correspondent Kris Van Cleave. “Southwest, with these changes, becomes just another airline.”

Just last September, Southwest CEO Bob Jordan told Van Cleave bags would continue to fly without charge.

“Bags will still fly free,” Jordan said. “It’s the third thing customers look for after fare and schedule: Bags fly free, on us. Ninety-seven percent are people who are aware of our policies. So it’s a huge consumer advantage. So bags will absolutely fly free.”

But when pressed if they’d always fly free, he acknowledged, “Well, never say never. … It’s like saying open seating would never change 20 years ago. Consumer preferences change, but from everything that we see, there’s no reason to reconsider this at all, especially right now.”

“When 97% of your customers say they fly you because of your ‘bags fly free’ policy and you make dramatic changes to it, you are telling almost all of your customers, ‘Your business doesn’t matter to us anymore,’” Harteveldt said. “We are watching an airline self-destruct. This is the equivalent of deliberately sailing a ship into an iceberg.”
