"Perfect night!!!"

-Mary W's post on Facebook

 

"The ride was loads of fun, with Captain Good getting us started by cracking great jokes and launching the narrative for the trip. Far more rollicking fun than spooky, it was great for all ages."

The son of Rob Reiner is under arrest in Los Angeles in connection with the death of the Hollywood director and his wife. That's according to jail records. The couple was found dead inside their home on Sunday and were apparently the victims of a stabbing. Nick Reiner was arrested earlier today and had his bail set at four-million-dollars.        Authorities are still searching for a suspect who shot and killed two students and wounded nine others at Brown University late Saturday afternoon. It was revealed late last night that a man who was taken into custody early yesterday at a hotel in Rhode Island is not the shooter. Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha [[ ner-OH-nah ]] said that based on analysis of the evidence "there is no basis to consider him a person of interest."        The FBI says a pro-Palestinian group was plotting to bomb multiple U.S. companies in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. Bill Essayli of the United States Attorney's office said the four arrested were part of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, a "far-left" anti-capitalist group that's intent on spreading chaos. Essayli said the group planned on using improvised explosive devices that they were in the process of testing in a remote camp in the Mojave desert.        Boston art dealer Brian Walshe has been found guilty of murdering his wife. The father of three was convicted of killing and dismembering Ana Walshe on New Year's Day in 2023. Prosecutors said he tossed her remains in dumpsters. Her remains have not been found.        Erika Kirk and Candace Owens are set to meet for a private discussion. Erika Kirk is the widow of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and in the weeks following his assassination conservative podcaster Candace Owens has become a prominent proponent of conspiracy theories that seek to provide an alternative explanation for his death.        Week 15 of the NFL season ends with Monday Night Football in Pittsburgh. The Steelers will play host to the Miami Dolphins. The Steelers enter at seven-and-six and are in first place in the AFC North. The Dolphins are six-and-seven and will be knocked out of playoff contention with a loss. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. eastern.
