A grueling manhunt for the suspect wanted in a highway shooting spree stretched into its fifth day as authorities said they believe he retreated deep into a forested swath of southeastern Kentucky with no indication he has fled elsewhere. “There’s so many people that have eyes on this investigation around the world that now we should have gotten a pretty good tip that he exited the woods,” Pennington told reporters 72 hours into the operation. Amid the search, authorities went to his home in Woodbine, about 23 miles from the shooting site, to collect evidence. The search by foot remains daunting, Pennington said, as temperatures have stayed above 80 degrees during the day. “I hope he doesn’t have water, and I hope he doesn’t have food," Pennington said at a news conference Tuesday.

Steve Bannon's 'We Build the Wall' is officially a zombie charity — its last director quit Tuesday. The scam non-profit has one last victim: its defense lawyer, who said he hasn't been getting paid. The lawyer told a Manhattan judge he can't advise and defend a company with no 'human' client. He also has no prospect of getting paid, Weddle told the judge. Bannon was first charged with defrauding donors through the charity by federal prosecutors, in August 2020.
