A former Illinois sheriff’s deputy has been convicted of second-degree murder for fatally shooting Sonya Massey after she called 911 seeking help. In Nebraska, a man has pleaded guilty to murder and related charges for killing a Catholic priest during a 2023 break-in at the priest’s home.

The House Oversight Committee releases more than 20,000 documents subpoenaed fromEpstein’s estate, on the heels of a smaller release of emails implying President Trump knewabout Epstein’s abuse. The documents include thousands of emails with high-profile contacts, financial and property records, excerpts from James Patterson’s Filthy Rich, and records of Epstein’s ‘fixers’ desperate attempts to improve his public image. Republican congressman Thomas Massie implies Donald Trump's ordering of a fresh investigation is making a “last-ditch effort” to keep the files on the late sex offender from becoming public. President Trump’s ‘Ghislaine Maxwell problem’ is just as serious as his ‘Epstein problem.’Maxwell’s transfer to ‘Club Fed’ just days after assuring Deputy Attorney General BlancheTrump did not participate in the abuse; it appears to be quite the ‘quid pro quo.’ In addition to the low-security facility’s general privileges, Maxwell is reportedly demanding VIP treatment that has the warden complaining she’s “tired of being Maxwell’s bitch.” Maxwell reportedly receives custom meals in her cell and enjoys private exercise time and accessto service puppies. Warden Tanisha Hall has been ordered to make all requestedaccommodations for Maxwell, including carrying out secretarial duties on her behalf, providingsnacks for her private meetings with guests, letting her visitors bring in computers, andpunishing staff members who refuse to cooperate. And Attorney Alan Dershowitz joins Nancy to discuss the latest developments in the Epstein Files and share his unique insight into the case. The emeritus Harvard Law professor was accused of having sex with “Jane Doe #3”—identified in court documents as Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Dershowitz long maintained his innocence, and in 2022 Giuffre withdrew those accusations and admitted she may have misidentified Dershowitz. He tells Nancy why he wants "everything out there" in the Epstein case.

When Melodee Buzzard is first reported missing, school officials fear the little girl hasn’t been seen in more than a year. The school district discovers Melodee was seen much more recently, enrolling in another year of homeschooling.Santa Barbara County sheriffs then find that her mom, Ashlee Buzzard, left Lompoc with Melodee on October 7; they were spotted together at a car rental. Security footage caught Melodee for the last time on October 9. Buzzard returns home the next day, alone. Melodee has now been missing for 35 days. The only photo authorities have of Melodee is more than two years out of date, as the little girl is “homeschooled” in Vandenberg Village, just north of Lompoc, California. Ashley Buzzard was arrested on Nov 7 for false imprisonment, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office. Ashley's arrest was for false imprisonment. This is not a child-related charge. So, this arrest is not related to Melodee. And it's not related to the ongoing missing person case directly. But, it is a case that came up amid this missing person case. Four days after her arrest, Ashlee Buzzard entered a not guilty plea to false imprisonment. Prosecutors argue that Buzzard should remain incarcerated due to her flight risk and potential for violence. However, her attorneys counter that she does not own a vehicle and did not specifically threaten Brewer with a box cutter. The judge agrees to grant Buzzard bail under close supervision and orders Buzzard to stay away from Brewer.The 40-year-old is once again walking free. Anyone with information asked to contact Santa Barbara County investigators at 805-681-4150. Anonymous calls can be made to the tip line at 805-681-4171. Contact the FBI at 800-225-5324. Anonymous tipsters can also share information online to the sheriff’s office.
