We're learning more today about the former Family Feud contestant who police say is a murderer who shot his estranged wife. The story is especially shocking for this young woman who competed against the suspect on the game show…never thinking he would be at the center of such sinister headlines.  The accused’s attorney says her client maintains he is innocent and will plea not guilty. And Imagine watching airline workers spill your medication out into the trash. That's what happened to a frustrated Spirit Airlines passenger who accidentally left his carry-on bag at the check in counter. Spirit Airlines did not return our requests for comment but the passenger told us that Spirit told him it is investigating the incident and the workers have been suspended. Plus, as a lifeguard this guy's used to saving humans...but on this day it was a four legged swimmer in distress! And perhaps his little girl will end up nominated for an Oscar one day for best film score! At 10 she composes her own music...but she's also shy ...so her mom stepped in. Now, people across the country are playing Olive's song.

He competed on Family Feud as his whole town cheered him on. However, his local hero status is over now that he's been arrested with cops calling him a murderer. They say he brutally killed his estranged wife by shooting her multiple times. And a scare at David Blaine's Vegas show as the illusionist jumped from 80 feet in the air and landed wrong, dislocating his shoulder. Lucky for him there was more than one doctor in the house who came to his aid, popping his shoulder back in place. All while the stunned audience watched. Plus, not long ago we told you about the guy being called a real-life MacGyver for inventively attaching his cell phone to a drone to call 911 after he got stuck in the snow. Until now we've never heard from the man himself - now he's speaking with Steven Fabian. And it's one of the most moving parts of the Oscars - the “In Memoriam” tribute remembering stars lost over the past year...but the family of late actor Paul Sorvino is not happy that he was left out. Yesterday we told you how his daughter, Oscar winner Mira Sorvino, was disappointed. Now Jim Moret speaks with his furious widow.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Despite no shocking onstage slap, it was still an Oscar night to remember. However, many are wondering if Angela Bassett went home miserable. She was up for best supporting actress and lost to Jamie Lee Curtis. And, while the whole crowd stood for Curtis, Bassett stayed seated. And there were quite a few moments that may have had you reaching for a tissue. From John Travolta remembering his Grease co-star, Olivia Newton John, to the historic wins for the stars of the night's biggest winner ‘Everything, Everywhere All At Once.’ There was no shortage of raw emotion. And the Oscar fashion police have plenty to talk about. Lots of stars dazzled in white, but one little problem with the traditional red carpet being champagne colored this year. Some stars ended up blending right in - literally! Plus, two New York police officers met their match when they tried to subdue a strapping 6 foot - 182 pound former college lacrosse player. And as Steven Fabian reports, it didn't help that bystanders were cheering the suspect on.

Is the former president of the United States about to be criminally indicted? That appears to be the case based on an offer Donald Trump has received, inviting him to appear before a grand jury investigating the hush money paid years ago to adult film star Stormy Daniels. So how serious is this? Les Trent caught up with Donald Trump's former attorney who is now the key witness against him. And spring break is getting underway...but if you pick the wrong beach, you may find an uninvited guest! An algae bloom called red tide has made some vacation spots looking, well, kind of gross...with thousands of dead fish washing up as spring breakers hit the beach. And The Talk is well into its 13th season...and the hosts, who tape the show in sunny LA, visited chilly New York and got a tour from our Les Trent. Plus, she was snatched from her bedroom and her miraculous homecoming nine months later gave hope to countless other families with missing children.

Every year Mexico is a top spring break destination...but after the kidnapping and killing of two people…will vacationers be too scared to go there? The State Department has issued do not travel warnings for some parts of Mexico and warns to reconsider or use extreme caution for the most popular destinations. But will people go anyway? And the White House joined in the widespread condemnation of Fox News' Tucker Carlson today for his misleading portrayal of the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Despite the growing chorus condemning him, Carlson is remaining defiant. Plus, the winner of that historic Powerball jackpot just bought a breathtaking mansion in the Hollywood Hills - and its 25 million dollar price tag leaves plenty of left over cash!

It could have been another tragedy in the air… but when a passenger allegedly tried to open an external door and stab a flight attendant, other passengers knew they had to spring into action. In a move that evoked memories of the passengers on September 11th who kept flight 93 from striking Washington, Steven Fabian says travelers kept this event from becoming a disaster. And medical tourism is not without its risks, and those risks are not limited to the procedures themselves. The nation learned today that the four Americans ambushed just over the border in Mexico had already been shot by the time this video was taken - leaving two of them dead and one injured. Plus, according to FBI crime data property crimes have decreased an average of 33% since 2010. Try telling that to anyone who's been the victim of a crime though, especially if the crime happened at their home. Jim Moret with a look at several robberies that happened… right in the victims’ driveways. Meantime, the lady who worked at this craft store refused to just stand by when she suspected a woman of shoplifting. She confronted the suspect about what was in her bag - wait until you see how much stuff was in there!

She was home alone when she thought a rumble was an earthquake. Turns out the jolt happened when a car careened into the teens house. A car driven by former Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson with his new girlfriend in the passenger seat. As Jim Moret reports, he reportedly hit a fire hydrant before he hit the house. And, this is not a flight you want to be on -- with passengers literally screaming in panic as smoke fills the cabin. It happened just seconds after take-off as the Southwest plane bound for Fort Lauderdale struck a flock of birds leading to an emergency landing. As Steven Fabian reports, it’s just the latest scare in the air. Plus, when the now convicted killer, Alex Murdaugh, took the witness stand, he had a big job to do: explain away that video which proved he'd been lying about being at the scene of his wife and son's murders moments before the killings. Some jurors are now talking about the trial...and as Les Trent reports, they say it's that video that sealed his fate. And, Chris Rock clapped back at Will Smith over that headline making “Oscars Slap.” Throwing shade at the star in a live Netflix special over the weekend. The reviews are mostly good, with one critic saying 'it was the best take down ever!"
