She was living at her grandmother Pauline Varner’s Orlando home at the time and drove her red minivan.“I haven’t heard from her since and of course, that scared me,” Varner told WESH 2 News in 2012.For the next 12 years, the case went cold. Until last month.“Of all the cases we were working, this was the case I was least optimistic about,” said Mike Sullivan.Sullivan and his volunteer dive group Sunshine State Sonar have been searching for Lemire for the past year and a half.“You know what cracked it?” said Sullivan. “It was two weeks ago.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:00 GMT

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is confident Sweden will join the military alliance by July at the latest, he told German news agency DPA this week. The next NATO summit will be held in Washington from July 9-11 and the Nordic country will be a fully-fledged member by then, he said. Sweden and Finland abandoned decades of neutrality and both applied to become NATO allies in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. While Helsinki’s bid was swiftly approved, Stockholm’s is being held up by both Turkey and Hungary.

Two weeks out from the caucuses, DeSantis-Haley rivalry dominates airwaves as Trump maintains front-runner status

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:00 GMT

Waukee, Iowa (CNN) — With TVs inside a packed central Iowa sports bar tuned to the Citrus Bowl, the phrase “dumpster fire” could be heard over the pub’s speakers midway through the second quarter. But the criticism wasn’t directed at the Iowa Hawkeyes’ lackluster performance in the New Year’s Day game.Rather, it was a political ad attacking the presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who walked into the bar later, hoping to convince Iowans the description was far from apt.“We’re going to get it done,” he told one man after taking a swig of Guinness.Two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, the airwaves here are filled with ads from allies of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley attacking DeSantis and vice versa. Indeed, after DeSantis exited the bar, a commercial calling Haley “Tricky Nikki” aired, paid for by a super PAC supporting the Florida governor, a representation of how the pair are mercilessly going after each other as the race intensifies.B...
