MELODEE, 9, MISSING, MOMMY: 'NO COMMENT,' WALKS FREE WITH ANKLE MONITOR

Sean “Diddy” Combs will spend a lonely Valentine’s Day in the MDC after filing his second defamation suit against NBC, receiving two new lawsuits alleging sexual assault, and prematurely accepting support from Kanye West, whose days-long meltdown on X has likely ended his career. Instead of breakfast in bed, Combs will eat cereal in the mess hall at 6 a.m., returning five hours later for a chicken patty sandwich or chickpea burger. Instead of champagne and caviar, he will have chili with whole wheat bread. Combs filed a $100 million lawsuit against NBC Universal, Peacock TV, and the production company Ample, alleging that their documentary, The Making of a Bad Boy, “assumes Combs’ guilt” and falsely labels him as “the embodiment of Lucifer.” Combs specifically objects to Al B. Sure’s insinuations that he was involved in the deaths of Kim Porter, Notorious B.I.G., Andre Harrell, and Heavy D, as well as Rodney Jones’ accusations that he sexually assaulted minors. His attorneys argue that the defamatory claims not only damaged his reputation but also jeopardized his right to a fair trial scheduled for three months from now. Kanye West showed his support for Combs by posting “FREE PUFF” on both his Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter. West then posted a series of messages demanding Combs’ release, including a plea to the President, stating, “PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.” Joining Nancy Grace today: Joshua Ritter - Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Prosecutor, Host of Courtroom Confidential on YouTube, joshuaritter.com; Xr, Instagram & TikTok: @joshuaritteresq, YouTube: CRConfidential Dr. Bethany Marshall - Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker," featured in hit show: "Paris in Love" on Peacock ; Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive Chris McDonough - Director At the Cold Case Foundation, Former Homicide Detective, Worked over 300 Homicides in 25 year career, Trained the first Native American Homicide Task Force; & Host of YouTube channel, "The Interview Room," Lynn Shaw - Founder and Executive Director of Lynn's Warriors, Host - Lynn's Warriors on YouTube, lynnswarrior.org, X: @lynns_warriors Youtube: @LynnsWarriors Germania Rodriguez - Chief US rReporter at dailymail.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bryan Kohberger’s attorneys say investigators found blood from an unknown man on a handrail in the victims' home and another person's DNA on a glove outside. Anne Taylor argues this could indicate Kohberger's lack of involvement in the crime. Although court filings acknowledged the unknown DNA samples last year, they did not disclose that at least two of the samples were from blood. During Kohberger’s last hearing, Taylor accused authorities of withholding information, saying police did not disclose the unidentified blood when obtaining a search warrant for Kohberger's arrest. She argues this omission should invalidate some evidence collected during the search because it was not properly authorized. Kohberger's attorneys also allege the FBI illegally obtained his DNA, violating the Fourth Amendment's protection against illegal searches and seizures. They argue that submitting Kohberger’s DNA to a public ancestry database was improper because law enforcement cannot legally use the site. The attorneys also claim that police did not submit two other blood samples from the scene to the FBI’s DNA database due to eligibility issues and failed to inform the magistrate judge about them. Taylor argues this omission should disqualify some of the evidence obtained Joining Nancy Grace today: Philip Dubé - Court-Appointed Counsel, Los Angeles County Public Defenders: Criminal & Constitutional Law; Forensics & Mental Health Advocacy Dr. Shari Schwartz - Forensic Psychologist (specializing in Capital Mitigation and Victim Advocacy); X: https://twitter.com/TrialDoc; Author: "Criminal Behavior" and "Where Law and Psychology Intersect: Issues in Legal Psychology" Chris McDonough - Director At the Cold Case Foundation, Former Homicide Detective; Host of YouTube channel, "The Interview Room" Scott Eicher - A founding member of the FBI’s Cellular Analysis Survey Team (C.A.S.T),Currently with Precision Cellular Analysis handling Criminal, Defense and Civil Cases Dr. James Williams - Leading courtroom expert on firing squads; an Emergency Room Physician and a Bioidentical Hormone Therapy practitioner at Anahata Wellness Center; anahatahormones.com Dr. Thomas Coyne - Chief Medical Examiner, District 2 Medical Examiner's Office, State of Florida; Forensic Pathologist, Neuropathologist, Toxicologist; X: @DrTMCoyne Joseph Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University; Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet"; Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan"; X @JoScottForensic Howard Blum - Author: "When The Night Comes Falling, A Requiem for The Idaho Student Murders"; Website: Howardblum.com INSTA: howard_blum_author ; TW/X: howardblum Sydney Sumner - CrimeOnline Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wendy Williams, the former talk show host known for her catchphrase, “How you doin’?” has been under a court-ordered guardianship since 2022 after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. However, the star is disputing both her diagnoses and need for a guardian. Williams calls her life a prison and accuses her guardian of emotional abuse. After a successful trial run of The Wendy Williams Show, the talk show is broadcast internationally and garners 2.4 million daily viewers. Williams trades off with Ellen DeGeneres as the number one female daytime television host for years. The daily show runs for 12 years straight while Williams starts her own reality TV production company with her manager, and husband, Kevin Hunter. Williams’ health issues become apparent in the later years of The Wendy Williams Show. Williams has always been open about her cocaine addiction in the 80s and 90s, which she overcame with no treatment. The host also diagnosed with Graves’ disease, which causes hyperthyroidism. In 2017, Williams passes out during a taping of the show, and in the following years fills months of several seasons with guest hosts due to struggles with her health issues. In 2019, after 20 years of marriage, Wendy Williams files for divorce from her manager and husband, Kevin Hunter, after discovering he fathered a child with another woman. Williams does not take the betrayal well and begins drinking heavily. Just before the divorce, Williams reveals she’s been in rehab for some time. During the treatment, Williams is diagnosed with alcohol-induced brain damage. By 2021, doctors say Williams, 57, has alcohol-induced dementia. January 2022, Williams’ bank freezes her accounts after documenting a “pattern of unusual and disturbing” financial events. Wells Fargo requests a New York Supreme Court hearing to determine if Williams is in need of a guardian. A judge determines Williams’ is incapable of making informed decisions and appoints a temporary financial guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. Williams attempts to return to work in late November with plans to release a podcast, but the show never airs and by March 2023, Williams virtually disappears from the public. Williams is now asking for the guardianship to end. Joining Nancy Grace today Elizabeth J.

The Feds expect to file additional charges against luxury real estate agents Tal and Oren Alexander, and their brother Alon, as the number of women accusing the siblings of rape climbs. The brothers plead not guilty at their first Manhattan court appearance, all three appearing in matching beige jumpsuits, slip on shoes, and handcuffs on their wrists and ankles. Prosecutor Elizabeth Espinosa informed the court that a superseding indictment in the works, will add new allegations against the three siblings. While prosecutors previously alleged 40 victims, Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Espinosa now says the government has interviewed more than 60 people who have reported being sexually assaulted by at least one of the brothers. In addition to victim accounts, Espinosa said that investigators gathered a "substantial" amount of evidence, data from iCloud, Instagram, Facebook, dating apps, cell phones, laptop computers and electronic storage devices.
