Decades after a woman was killed and her body was dumped in the woods of New Jersey, a suspect has been extradited from Canada to face murder charges, according to law enforcement. It was an ATV rider who had found Tignor’s body on the dirt access road that ended in a cul-de-sac, Somerset County Prosecutor John McDonald said. Bridgewater police and Somerset County investigators searched the woods for days, looking for any evidence or clues that could lead them to the killer. Tammy Tignor Somerset County Prosecutor's OfficeDNA evidence found on the Newark woman’s body provided no answers. A first-degree murder charge against Creter was authorized in May 2023, the prosecutor’s office said, but there was an issue: Creter had since moved to Winnipeg, Canada, in 2002.

Forty-six percent of Americans say they get less alone time during the holidays, according to a new survey commissioned by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine, released on Tuesday. To figure out whether alone time energizes or depletes you, Durvasula suggests dedicating a full day or weekend to just yourself and observing how it affects your emotions. To unwind while alone, Lazarus suggests activities including journaling, meditating, exercising and listening to music to help replenish yourself and be more present when reconnecting with others. In fact, 36% of people say they are more irritable because they don’t get enough alone time, the survey found. “We often don’t get to turn down the volume on that constant state of social monitoring and social calibration,” Durvasula said.

But in times of healthy demand for homes, auctions can deliver benefits for sellers looking to ride out the frenzy.

Instead, almost all of the recent mentions of Hegseth on Fox have been supportive or sympathetic. Hegseth told police the sex was consensual and he was never charged with a crime.

CNN —Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of sexual battery by a woman who claims that in September 2016 the music producer dangled her from a 17-story balcony as others were on site, including his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Once Combs gained entry, he spotted Bongolan on the balcony and “advanced on her,” the suit states. This alleged incident, however, was stated in Ventura’s suit as having taken place after an August 2015 so-called freak-off, the term prosecutors and others allege was used to describe Combs’ drug- and sex-fueled parties. In May, CNN published a surveillance video that showed Combs physically abusing Ventura in 2016 in a Los Angeles hotel. Combs apologized two days after the video was broadcast in a video shared on social media.
