Investigators

seek videos

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Investigators in Arizona want residents near Nancy Guthrie’s home to share surveillance camera footage of suspicious cars or people in the month before the disappearance of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother.

The 84-year-old has been missing from her Tucson-area home since Feb. 1. Investigators are asking residents in a 2-mile radius around Nancy Guthrie’s home to share videos that could be “important to our investigation.” The Pima County Sheriff’s Department says investigators are analyzing several pieces of evidence, including a pair of gloves.

Adoption

will stand

(AP) — The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that a U.S. Marine and his wife will keep an Afghan orphan they brought home in defiance of the U.S. government’s decision to reunite her with her Afghan family. The ruling likely ends a bitter, yearslong legal battle over the girl’s fate.

Four justices on the Virginia Supreme Court on Thursday signed onto an opinion reversing two lower courts’ rulings that found the adoption was so flawed it was void from the moment it was issued. The justices wrote that a Virginia law that cements adoption orders after six months bars the child’s Afghan relatives from challenging the court, no matter how flawed its orders and even if the adoption was obtained by fraud.

Speaker objects

to tracking

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday that he did not think it was appropriate for the Justice Department to be tracking the search history of lawmakers who are reviewing files from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The rare rebuke to the Trump administration came as photographs emerged revealing an apparent catalog of records reviewed by a Democratic member of Congress who was among a group of lawmakers given an opportunity to read less-redacted versions of the Epstein files at a department annex and on department-owned computers.

The Justice Department said in a statement that, as part of the process of permitting lawmakers to review the Epstein files, it “logs all searches made on its systems to protect against the release of victim information.”
