Just moments ago, investigators at Camp Mystic disclosed that they had found a long, blonde hair bun entangled in branches along the riverbank—precisely where they suspect the last missing 8-year-old girl may have attempted to flee.
At first glance, the hair corresponded with the girl’s description: soft, golden-blonde, styled in a small, disheveled bun—the same hairstyle she was last observed wearing. For a fleeting moment, rescuers believed they were one step closer to locating her.
However, the DNA results soon followed.
In a shocking and heartbreaking turn of events, forensic analysis confirmed that the hair does not belong to the missing girl, but rather to her best friend, one of the 27 girls who had already been located.
This revelation has completely altered the course of the investigation.
Detectives are now contemplating several unsettling scenarios:
Was the best friend present at the riverbank with her… even after she was reported found?
Could the missing girl have kept the hair as a memento?
Or—most disturbingly—did someone intentionally place the hair there to mislead the search efforts?
One member of the search team remarked quietly:
“We thought we were getting closer. Now it feels like she’s slipping further away.”
Parents and volunteers are heartbroken, and the girl’s family is once again engulfed in excruciating uncertainty. Police have narrowed the search area, particularly around the river’s edge, and have enlisted specialists in forensic mapping and behavioral profiling to reconstruct the movement patterns of the girls during their final hours at camp.
📌 A complete DNA analysis and an updated map of the riverbank site are available in the comments below.
The question on everyone’s mind now is:
If her best friend was here… where is she?
And what truly transpired on that riverbank?
Stay with us. This case is far from resolved.
A Silent Promise in the Darkest Hour
It’s a story that has etched itself into my memory—one of sorrow, resilience, and the quiet heroism of those who wear the badge not just with duty, but with heart.
That day began like many others for my colleagues—routine patrols, paperwork, radio calls buzzing with the pulse of the city. But everything changed when a call came in that would shake them to their core.
A neighbor had heard cries—faint, desperate, and unrelenting—coming from an apartment down the hall. Something felt wrong. They responded immediately.
Behind the door lay a scene none of them would ever forget.
In the dim, stuffy room was a baby girl—frail, filthy, and utterly alone. Her tiny body trembled from exhaustion and hunger. She had been left for days, soaked in her own diapers, her cries hoarse from crying out into silence.
Her mother, a hardworking woman struggling to make ends meet, had gone to her job believing the child was safe in the care of her husband. But addiction is a cruel thief—it had taken hold of him completely. In its grip, he had vanished, abandoning his own daughter to suffer in silence.
The officers didn’t hesitate.
They worked quickly but gently, with a mixture of urgency and heartbreak. One officer retrieved a bottle and formula from the near-empty kitchen, mixing it with shaking hands. Another cleaned and changed the baby’s diaper, her uniform damp from the mess, but she didn’t care. As they fed the child—drop by precious drop—tears welled in their eyes. Tough men and women, trained to face danger, overwhelmed not by fear, but by sorrow.
There was no media crew, no applause. Just a quiet room and the sound of soft cries fading into peaceful gulps as the baby drank. In those moments, each of them made an unspoken vow—she would not be forgotten. Not today. Not ever.
They stayed with her until emergency services arrived, cradling her in their arms like she was their own. And in a way, she was—for in the thin thread of compassion that binds humanity, we are all responsible for one another.
What happened that day wasn’t just a rescue—it was a reminder. That behind the uniforms are people who carry these moments home with them, who lie awake at night wondering what more they could have done, and who show up the next day ready to do it all over again.
Because sometimes being a police officer means more than enforcing the law. Sometimes, it means holding a baby in the quiet of a broken home, whispering through tears, “You’re safe now. You’re loved. We’re here.”
Dannie Mountford, 19, from the West Midlands, was 36 weeks and two days pregnant when her waters broke — while she and her new husband were dancing on the dance floor.
Dannie and her husband Carl were confident that their baby daughter wouldn’t arrive until January, despite the fact that they had planned the wedding in just six weeks.
Dannie’s waters ruptured while dancing with her new beau on the evening of their December 18 wedding, while she was still wearing her dress.
Dannie was subsequently brought to the hospital, where she gave birth to baby Jasmine the next morning.
Dannie stated, ” “I was dancing with my new husband one second and giving birth to my baby girl the next.
“It was a huge surprise, but it has added to the memory of our wedding day and will make it even more wonderful in the future.
“I felt something dribbling down my leg while dancing, and when it didn’t stop, I hurried over to my mother, who assisted me to the restroom.
“All of the wedding guests came in to check on me while I was in the restroom, and someone called a cab to take me to the hospital.
“My wedding gown was not removed until I was in the labor and delivery room. My waters had burst on it, so it was soaked.”
Dannie and Carl, both 18, planned their wedding in just six weeks in the hopes of being legally married before their daughter was born.
Their joyful day, however, was cut short when baby Jasmine arrived early.
Dannie, who works full-time as a mother, added: “We left the reception around 10.30 p.m. to go to the hospital, but several family members lingered for the remainder of the event.
“As I walked out of the place, the DJ was still playing and others were still completing their drinks. We hadn’t even started cutting the cake!
“Fortunately, Carl hadn’t consumed much alcohol at the reception and had remained quite sober.
“Despite the fact that he was quite stressed when I went into labor, he was incredible during the birth as he calmed down.”
Dannie had been in labor for about six hours when she arrived at the hospital.
Jasmine came healthy and accompanied by Dannie’s husband and mother, despite being astonished by her presence.
Dannie stated, ” “Despite barely weighing 6 pounds 4 ounces and arriving almost a month early, Jasmine is doing great and was the ideal wedding gift.
“It also meant that all of our friends and family were the first to find out, which was incredible.
“It’s been a whirlwind since then because it was such a surprise, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

A trip to the beach is what holiday fantasies are made of.
Lying in the sun with soft sand between your toes and water lapping against your feet is a magnificent image.
If you want to enjoy the ocean, remember to keep safe in it. Keep an eye out for waves and never turn your back on the sea.
You may be familiar with rip currents and fluctuating tides, but you may be unaware of the dangers of square waves.
Yes, this does happen, and it’s a stunning sight. However, it is also one of the most terrifying sights to see in the water.
A square wave, also known as a “cross sea,” is formed when two waves collide to form a square shape that resembles a checkerboard.
The European Space Agency stated in 2010 that “the conditions are quite common in the ocean and occur when a windsea and a swell, or two swell systems, coexist.”
According to a 2004 survey, “a large percentage of ship accidents occurred in crossing sea states.”
These square waves do not occur frequently, but when they do, they are usually near the coast.
The Île de Ré on France’s western coast is a fantastic site to watch them from a safe distance.
It can be difficult for boats and swimmers to navigate these cross-seas because they can create waves up to 10 feet high and shift the direction of the wind.
Again, this is quite unusual, but if it does occur, do not go out on a boat or swim in the water because it may be rough.
Instead, you may spend your time sunbathing on the sand or swimming in the shallow water until the weather improves. Then you can go swimming safely and without crowds.
What happens if you become entangled in a square wave?
When you’re in the water, you may not notice that the waves are arranged in a grid, but you will notice that the swells grow larger and you must swim against two opposing currents.
Swimming out too far in the first place is preferable, as is getting out of the water as soon as the waves become too large.
Square waves frequently endanger boats and ships further out, so stay in the shallows to keep safe.

Michael Strahan has given a heartbreaking update about his daughter‘s current health situation amid the 20-year-old’s cancer battle.
The 52-year-old Good Morning America host confronted one of the most challenging and heart-wrenching experiences a parent can endure late last year when his daughter, Isabella Strahan, was diagnosed with cancer.
In October 2023, Michael announced his temporary departure from hosting Good Morning America, citing “personal family matters” as the reason. It was only recently that the public learned that he spent that time supporting Isabella as she faced the early stages of her cancer journey.
Isabella goes public with her battle
Isabella, just 18 at the time, received a diagnosis of a brain tumor after experiencing severe headaches, nausea, and vomiting. She underwent emergency surgery to remove the malignant mass behind her brain a day before turning 19 on October 27, 2023.
Although she initially kept her battle private, Isabella later chose to share her journey on social media. She posted a video of her journey on YouTube, which included pictures from the hospital, with her father by her bedside. During her recovery, her twin sister, Sophia, provided additional support as Isabella relearned how to walk and underwent radiation therapy.
Painful chemotherapy
Just days ago, Isabella detailed her experiences with chemotherapy in a candid vlog on her YouTube channel.
In the video titled “Vlog 8: Recovering from Chemo at home,” the 20-year-old bravely opened up about the intense physical pain she’s enduring during her treatment journey.
Describing her ordeal, Isabella expressed the agony she felt, likening it to a “heart attack” while trying to alleviate her headache with an ice pack on her newly shaved head. “Everything hurts,” she confessed, saying that she was feeling the strain on her eyes, mouth, and jaw.
Michael Strahan gives an update
Then, yesterday, Michael said while hosting Good Morning America that: “The last three days have been a little rough because she [Isabella] had a fever that kind of comes and goes.”
He continued: “I had to take her to the hospital and thought she’d come home a few hours later … It’s been three days, but hopefully she’ll be home today.”
Michael also commented on how Isabella, whose chemotherapy treatment began at Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in Durham, North Carolina, has experienced “expected” side effects. Though, he did admit that the process has still been difficult.
“It is tough to see her go through it, but I know she’s a tough young lady and she’s going to make it through it,” he told his fellow hosts.
Fortunately, though, Michael shared that the support their family has received from other family members and friends, as well as fans online, has helped them during this process.
“I think, for her, so many people have reached out and said, ‘I’m glad you’re doing this,’ ‘Thank you for doing this,’ ‘This has really helped us,’” he said. “All that support that she is getting from people she doesn’t know, on top of people that she does know, has kept her in a very positive space. So thank you to everybody.”
We are sending our thoughts to the Strahan family at this difficult time, and wish Isabella all the best.

There are ticks. Most people get the creeps just thinking about them. And for a good reason! Not only do these tiny bugs bother you and get in your way, but they can also spread dangerous diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. So, if you find a tick in your home, you should get rid of it right away.
Find the issue and separate it.
The first thing you need to do is figure out what kind of tick it is. It might be a dog tick, a brown dog tick, or a black-legged tick. As soon as you know what kind of tick it is, you should take the right steps to stop it from spreading. Your kids and pets should stay away from the area until the tick is gone.
Steps to protect
Cover your skin with gloves and long-sleeved clothes to keep ticks away. This will make it less likely for a tick to attach itself to you.
Clean very well
Ticks can hide in your clothes, your bed, and even the cracks and holes in your house. Because of this, it is important to clean really well anything that the tick has touched. If there are ticks on your clothes or bedding, wash them on high heat to get rid of them. Pay extra attention to cracks and edges when you vacuum the affected area.
Get rid of ticks
Don’t freak out if you find a tick on your skin. Get as close to the skin’s surface as you can with fine-tipped tweezers to grab the tick. Make sure not to twist or jerk as you slowly and steadily pull yourself up. This will stop the tick’s head from coming off and staying in your skin. Once the tick is out of the area, clean it with soapy water or alcohol. The tick can be gotten rid of by putting it in alcohol or flushing it down the toilet.
Watch how you bite.
You should keep an eye on both the person who was bitten and any bite sites you find. Keep an eye out for signs like a rash, fever, or aches and pains in your muscles. If you have any strange symptoms or if the bite area gets infected, you should see a doctor right away.
There are little ticks that can do a lot of damage. Ticks can be dangerous, but you can keep yourself and your family safe by taking the steps needed to get rid of and stop them. Spread the word about this article on Facebook to help other people stay safe.

The UK is experiencing unusually large scabies outbreaks and doctors urge people to seek medical treatment if they notice red dots on their body and not to ignore the symptoms.
Scabies is an itchy rash caused by mites that spreads through close skin contact. Early treatment is important in order to stop the spreading. Anyone can be affected by it.
Some of the common symptoms are intense itching, particularly at night, and a raised rash or spots.
Scabies typically causes a rash across the body, not including the head and neck, and often appears between fingers, around wrists, underarms, waist, groin, and bottom.
The young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems can get scabies on the head, neck, palms, and soles. In immunocompromised individuals, a highly contagious form called crusted scabies may cause a flaky rash on elbows, knees, hands, and feet.
As per NHS, the number of cases of people affected by the infection who were diagnosed in hospitals around the country is over 3,600.
According to Prof Kamila Hawthorne, RCGP chairwoman, many people who experience the symptoms refuse to seek medical help because of the “social stigma” surrounding the infection. She said that the number of GP diagnoses was “above the five-year average and rising, with the north of England seeing a spike in cases.”
“While not a serious condition, scabies can be very itchy and irritating,” she said.
“If not properly treated, it can spread and increase a patient’s risk of complications, such as secondary skin infections or make existing skin conditions worse.”
One of the reasons for the scabies outbreak, despite the social stigma attached to it, is the shortage of treatment.

5 Things Your Partner Should Never Do During Intimacy
If you and your partner have reached a stage in your relationship where you've mutually decided to engage in physical intimacy, chances are you've had conversations about it and feel comfortable enough with each other to explore that connection. However, especially if you're new to intimate experiences, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between what’s healthy and enjoyable, and what may be harmful or disrespectful.
To help guide you through this important aspect of a relationship, here are five critical things your partner should never do during moments of intimacy.
1. Pressure You Into Being Intimate
Before you and your partner ever share intimate moments, you should have open and honest conversations about it. Intimacy should always be mutual—it should happen because both of you want it, not because you feel obligated or guilty. Being in a relationship does not mean you owe anyone anything. Consent is continuous, and you're allowed to change your mind at any point—even during intimacy. A respectful partner will always honor your decision without guilt-tripping or coercion.
2. Force You Into Acts You're Uncomfortable With
It’s perfectly normal to explore and try new things during physical intimacy. However, you should never be made to feel like you must do something that you’re not comfortable with. Clear communication about boundaries, preferences, and limits is crucial. A caring partner will listen, respect your limits, and never push you into situations that make you uneasy. Intimacy should be built on mutual respect, safety, and trust—not pressure or fear.
3. Make You Endure Painful Intimacy
Intimacy might feel unfamiliar at first, especially if it's new to you—but it should never be painful. If your partner dismisses the importance of things like foreplay, or engages in acts that are physically uncomfortable (such as dryness or roughness), that’s a red flag. Painful intimacy is not only unpleasant but can also be physically harmful—leading to injuries or increasing your risk of infections. You have every right to stop and speak up when something doesn't feel right. Pleasure, comfort, and consent are not optional—they are essential.
4. Ignore Your Emotional or Physical Needs
A partner who only focuses on their own satisfaction during intimate moments is not considering your needs, and that’s a problem. True intimacy involves mutual care and attentiveness. Your partner should listen to your cues—both verbal and non-verbal—and be willing to adjust based on your comfort. If they continue with something you clearly dislike or disregard your preferences, it shows a lack of respect. Being heard and valued during physical connection is just as important as any other part of the relationship.
5. Remove Protection Without Consent
One of the most serious breaches of trust during intimacy is when a partner secretly removes protection—such as a condom—without your permission. This act, often referred to as stealthing, is extremely dangerous. It exposes you to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unplanned pregnancy, and emotional distress. Most importantly, it violates your consent and trust. If a partner does this, it's a major red flag that they do not respect your autonomy or safety.
Final Thoughts:
When physical intimacy occurs between consenting individuals, it should be rooted in respect, open communication, and shared understanding. You are never obligated to engage in anything that feels wrong to you—your body, your rules. If someone violates your boundaries or continues
Always prioritize your well-being, emotionally and physically. A healthy relationship is one where you feel safe, valued, and empowered—especially during your most vulnerable moments.

BRIGHTON, Colo. – A teenager who pleaded guilty to killing a 10-year-old girl was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years, according to KDVR.
Aidan Zellmer, 17, was charged as an adult in the death of Kiaya Campbell on June 7, 2017, after they left her father’s home to go to a shopping center.
As part of a plea deal, Zellmer pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder after deliberation on Feb. 1.
“In 27 years as a prosecutor, I have never seen a 15-year-old commit such a violent act,” 17th Judicial District Attorney Dave Young said.
An Amber Alert was issued and a massive search was launched.
Neighbors found her battered body in a ravine behind homes near 128th Avenue and Jasmine Street the next day.
She had been beaten to death, according to an Adams County Coroner’s Office autopsy report.
According to an affidavit released after Adams County District Judge Sharon Holbrook imposed the mandatory sentencing, Zellmer and Campbell left the house to go steal Pokeman cards and candy.
The affidavit showed Zellmer hit Campbell in the head five times with a metal pipe and dragged her into a ditch, leaving her there to die.
