Vatican says new leads are worth pursuing in the disappearance of employee’s daughter 40 years ago

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:34:41 GMT

ROME (AP) — Exactly 40 years after the teenage daughter of a Vatican employee disappeared, the Vatican said Thursday that new leads “worthy of further investigation” had surfaced hopes of finally getting to the bottom of one of the Holy See’s enduring mysteries.Emanuela Orlandi vanished June 22, 1983, after leaving her family’s Vatican City apartment to go to a music lesson in Rome. Her father was a lay employee of the Holy See. Over the years, her disappearance has been linked to everything from the plot to kill St. John Paul II, a financial scandal involving the Vatican bank and Rome’s criminal underworld.The Vatican’s criminal prosecutor, Alessandro Diddi, said Thursday he had recently forwarded to prosecutors in Rome all the relevant evidence he had gathered in the six months since he reopened the investigation into Orlandi’s disappearance. In a statement, he vowed to keep pursuing the case.Popular interest in the case was renewed last year with the four-part Netflix...

Chastain chasing Trackhouse’s 1st win this season at the team’s home track of Nashville

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:34:41 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ty Norris has heard NASCAR fans both cheer and boo Ross Chastain, who seems to make more enemies by the race. The president of Trackhouse Racing doesn’t mind: Norris thinks NASCAR should have 40 other drivers just like his “ Melon Man.”“Ross is a driver that has become comfortable in making other drivers uncomfortable,” Norris said. “He doesn’t mind going three-wide. He doesn’t mind going up against the wall. He doesn’t mind poking his nose in there when he wants the space.”That aggression has crossed a line at times for some. Chastain punched Noah Gragson after the race at Kansas earlier this year. Chastain also spun Chase Elliott, NASCAR’s most popular driver the past five years, early in the final stage of last year’s finale — costing Elliott a chance at a second title.His on-track encounters are plentiful and that kind of driving and emotion from Chastain helps make NASCAR more interesting — even if others get ticked off. Norris ma...

Cómo es estar en el interior del sumergible del Titanic que desapareció con 5 personas a bordo

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:34:41 GMT

(CNN) — Aunque tiene aproximadamente el tamaño de una minivan, con cinco adultos a bordo, el sumergible del Titanic que desapareció este domingo puede parecer pequeño y estrecho. Y en la inmersión a miles de metros hacia el fondo del océano Atlántico Norte, la vida en su interior también puede pasar de caliente a fría.Conocido como “Titán”, el buque inició el descenso de dos horas y media hasta los famosos restos del naufragio del Titanic a primera hora de este domingo, cuando perdió el contacto con su buque nodriza, el Polar Prince, a la hora y 45 minutos de iniciado el viaje.Un sumergible —a diferencia de un submarino— tiene reservas de energía limitadas y necesita un barco de apoyo en la superficie para lanzarlo y recuperarlo. El Titán suele pasar entre 10 y 11 horas en cada viaje a los restos del Titanic, mientras que los submarinos pueden permanecer bajo el agua durante meses.Haciendo honor a su nombre, Titán pesa 23.000 libras y está hecho de fibra de carbono...

Florida Gov. DeSantis picks up backing from 15 South Carolina lawmakers as he makes a campaign swing

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:34:41 GMT

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is rolling out endorsements from 15 South Carolina lawmakers, hoping their support for his Republican presidential campaign will help him make his case to voters in the first-in-the-South primary state.The endorsements, shared first on Thursday with The Associated Press ahead of DeSantis’ town hall in North Augusta, come from 11 state House members and four state senators from across the state, with a heavy concentration in South Carolina’s conservative Upstate. It’s a show of force for DeSantis in a state that current Republican front-runner Donald Trump won handily in the 2016 primary and where he has maintained popularity.The list includes Sen. Josh Kimbrell, a Spartanburg Republican who has been bullish on DeSantis’ candidacy since before he officially entered the race. On Thursday, he called the governor “the only candidate in this race who can defeat” President Joe Biden.Many of the new endorsements are fr...

WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. (WSVN) — A 13-year-old boy had a harrowing encounter with a reptile in Winter Springs, narrowly escaping with his life after being bitten by an alligator in his right hip and mid-thigh area, but the resilient teenager managed to flee the scene and promptly dialed 911 for help.“I’m OK, though. I can walk and I can stand” Gabriel Klimis told dispatchers. “It just stings a little bit, but I’m good.” When questioned about the alligator’s whereabouts, the teenager admitted he was unaware of its current location after he hastily retreated from the creek.

Promptly responding to the distress call, paramedics arrived shortly before 7 p.m. transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.Local authorities shed light on the elusive nature of the reptilian predators.“It doesn’t have to be very deep water for...
