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

NBC News' Dateline revealed new details about Idaho college murder suspect Bryan Kohberger, including his phone activity, disturbing search history, and a chilling selfie taken before his arrest. The report details Kohberger’s searches for Ted Bundy, pornography, and the Britney Spears song “Criminal.” His phone also contained a selfie dated December 28, 2022, showing him staring into the camera in a black hoodie—similar to the clothing Bundy wore in a YouTube video found in Kohberger’s search history. Dateline also uncovered new information about the killings. Investigators believe Ethan Chapin was the last victim targeted. He was allegedly asleep in bed when the attacker “carved” his lower legs with a blade. Before that, the killer reportedly chased and stabbed Xana Kernodle, who was still awake after ordering food from DoorDash.

A juror’s vertigo halted another day of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial before it began. The trial will resume Friday after a break for the Juneteenth holiday on Thursday. Prosecutors had planned to rest their case this week after presenting evidence over six weeks, but the delay means they likely won’t finish until Monday. Combs’ federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial has revealed new details about the disgraced rap mogul. Text messages introduced in court included a surprising item: a list of his favorite sermons. Titled “PD’s Favorite Sermons,” the list was compiled by a YouTube account called “Assistants PD” and surfaced during Jane Doe’s testimony. Another revelation came from one of the civil sex trafficking lawsuits against Combs, which describes his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, as “the Ghislaine Maxwell to Combs’ Jeffrey Epstein.” Prosecutors allege Combs forced Cassie Ventura to take part in so-called “freak-offs,” while the defense claims she participated voluntarily. Jurors again watched footage of Combs’ drug-fueled sex parties, with the defense showing longer clips than the prosecution.

Jurors in Sean "Diddy" Combs sex trafficking trial were shown three "freak off" sex tapes given to the state by Cassie Ventura. Combs mother, sister, and three sons were in the courtroom listening to his ex talk about these orgies. Jurors cringed and some turned their heads. The galley was unable to view the video. Jurors watched on small monitors with headphones. In other testimony, a paralegal specialist with the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, Ananya Sankar, said she reviewed the accuracy of the government charts that summarize exhibits. The charts show the jury text messages and other information that haven't been discussed in testimony, but were submitted into evidence. Among the evidence, texts between Combs staff planning "hotel nights," Diddy and Cassie, with Khorram and other staff discussing getting $4,000 cash to the hotel. Khorram tells assistant, Dave Shirley, “Heads up, he’s probably about to do wild king tonight.” Shirley responds, "...need to reup on baby oil". The jury also sees a text from Khorram to Cassie, "Hi, Dave is at your door with the green". Prosecutors say they expect to rest their case as early as tomorrow, Wednesday.

Inside a federal courtroom in Manhattan Monday, prosecutors presented jurors with portions of three sexually explicit videos said to feature Sean Combs in what witnesses have described as “freak-off” sex marathons. The clips, played only for jurors and courtroom parties wearing headphones, came from a cellphone linked to Combs and turned over by his former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura. Two teenage brothers have been sentenced to 20 years in prison for their roles in a drive-by shooting that killed a 5-year-old girl in Albuquerque. The shooting, part of a surge in violence in 2023, led New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham to declare a public health emergency, temporarily restricting guns in public parks and playgrounds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A major shakeup hits the Sean Combs trial after the judge dismisses a Black male juror. Judge Arun Subramanian says concerns emerged about the juror’s candor after he allegedly gave conflicting statements about his residence. Combs’ defense team vigorously objects to the removal of “Juror 6,” arguing it reduces the panel’s diversity. The dismissed juror is replaced by a 57-year-old alternate—a white accountant from Westchester. Paralegal specialist Ananya Sankar completes cross-examination as jurors review text messages between Sean “Diddy” Combs and his staff about purchasing drugs. In one thread, Combs’ head of security, Faheem Muhammad, receives approval to buy thousands of dollars’ worth of narcotics. Other messages between Chief of Staff Kristina Khorram and Muhammad show Combs once requested 15 MDMA pills, also known as molly or ecstasy.
