Detroit Michigan - History of the World's Greatest City
On Thursday, Detroit made history — and not in a good way. The heart of the U.S. auto industry and home to the Detroit Tigers, Eminem and the White Stripes, Motown, and (maybe) Jimmy Hoffa's body became the largest city ever to file for bankruptcy. In many ways, this financial crisis is 60 years in the making. As the Motor City faces an uncertain future, here's a look back at some key dates in the long, storied past of one of America's great cities:
July 24, 1701
Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac establishes a French settlement, Fort Ponchartrain du Détroit (the strait), along with 100 French soldiers and an equal number of Algonquins.
1760
Britain wins the city from the French.
1796
U.S. forces capture Detroit from the British.
Feb. 1, 1802
Detroit becomes a chartered city, covering about 20 acres. It is incorporated as a city of Michigan territory in 1806, unincorporated in 1809, then reincorporated in 1815, this time for good. The population in 1815 is about 850.
1827
Detroit adopts its forward-looking city motto: Speramus Meliora; Resurget Cineribus (We hope for better days; it shall rise from the ashes).
1850
Bernhard Stroh opens Stroh Brewery Company. Over the years, Stroh's acquires several rival brands, including Schaefer, Schlitz, Old Milwaukee, Lone Star, and Colt 45.
June 4, 1896
Henry Ford test drives his first automobile on the streets of Detroit.
1898
Ford establishes the Detroit Automobile Co., producing all of two cars before the company fails three years later.
1899
Ransom E. Olds opens Detroit's first auto manufacturing plant.
Nov. 3, 1901
Ford opens his second car company, Henry Ford Co. Ford leaves the company in August 1902, and it becomes the Cadillac Motor Co. Detroit is America's 13th biggest city, with a population of about 286,000.
June 16, 1903
Ford starts the Ford Motor Co. in Detroit; among the 12 initial investors are brothers John and Horace Dodge, who start manufacturing their own Dodge cars in 1915. Ford soon moves his operations to the suburb of Dearborn. (The company hasn't built a car in Detroit since 1910.)
Sept. 16, 1908
William Durant and Charles Stewart Mott found General Motors in Flint, Mich., as a holding company for Buick. (Today, GM is now the only one of the major U.S. automakers headquartered in Detroit proper.)
June 6, 1925
Walter Chrysler starts the Chrysler Corp. in Detroit. It is now headquartered in Auburn Hills, a Detroit suburb.
1950
Detroit's population hits 1.85 million, making it America's fourth-largest city, with 296,000 manufacturing jobs.
1958
The 3,500,000-square-foot Packard Motor Car Co. factory in Detroit, opened in 1903, is shuttered. It still stands today, a symbol of Detroit's long, slow decline.

Once the chest is opened and the Skull of Siren Song retrieved, your next task is to deliver it. The problem is, while this Skull is a powerful artefact that can be used as a weapon, it is also cursed. While aboard, it will slow down your ship.

🚨#BREAKING: A woman has been arrested after purposefully crashing her car into what she thought was a Jewish school
📌#Indianapolis | #Indiana
A 34-year-old woman named Ruba Almaghtheh intentionally crashed her car into a building in Indianapolis, which she believed was a Jewish school. She expressed her anger about the Israel-Hamas war, stating that she had been watching the news and "couldn't breathe anymore." During her interaction with the police, she referenced the Palestinian people. The targeted building, known as the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge, was referred to as the "Israel school" by the perpetrator. Thankfully, although there were people inside the building at the time of the crash, no one was injured. Ruba was arrested, and the FBI confirmed they are aware of the incident and are collaborating with Indianapolis police on the matter.

Tension Tuesday
President Biden ran for office to restore the soul of our nation. He is unequivocal: there is no place for hate in America against anyone. Period.
Today, he and Vice President Harris are announcing that their Administration will develop the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia in the United States. We look forward to continuing our work with community leaders, advocates, members of Congress, and more to develop the strategy – which will be a joint effort led by the Domestic Policy Council and the National Security Council – and counter the scourge of Islamophobia and hate in all its forms. For too long, Muslims in America, and those perceived to be Muslim, such as Arabs and Sikhs, have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks and other discriminatory incidents. We all mourn the recent barbaric killing of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a 6-year-old Palestinian American Muslim boy, and the brutal attack on his mother in their home outside Chicago.
Today’s announcement is the latest step as part of President Biden’s directive last year to establish an interagency group to increase and better coordinate U.S. Government efforts to counter Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and related forms of bias and discrimination within the United States. Moving forward, the President, Vice President, and our entire Administration will continue working to ensure every American has the freedom to live their lives in safety and without fear for how they pray, what they believe, and who they are.

Matheau Moore Trial - Week 7 - Murder Mondays
A man allegedly murdered his wife and made it look like a suicide. Matheau Moore, 51, stands trial in Delaware County, Ohio.
Wife Emily Noble, 52, was last seen on her birthday: May 24, 2020. She was reported missing the next day. Her body turned up in tragic and grisly fashion the following Sept. 16. She was found hanging from a tree in a wooded area near her home. There was reportedly a 20-inch USB cord around her neck. There were multiple injuries to her head and neck. Authorities determined that this was homicide.
Noble was so badly decomposed authorities had to use dental records to identify her.
Prosecutors argue Moore killed her and staged the hanging. He faces charges of murder and felonious assault.
Moore’s previous wife Lisa Pedersen told WBNS in a June 2021 report that he once choked her when she was pregnant with their first son. It was New Year’s Day 2001, she said. They had been married three months.
“He came over, and he did, for some reason, he ended up, yeah, putting his hands around my neck,” she reportedly said. “And he started to choke me.”
It was the only time he put a hand on her, and they kept in touch throughout the years, Pedersen said. Though they maintained contact, she noted that he, contrary to contemporaneous media reports, claimed to be participating in the search for Noble.
“Once the details were made clear to me, I started to lean toward his guilt,” she said.
Both of their sons are now dead, according to WBNS. One of the children reportedly died at 17 by hanging in a park the summer before Noble’s disappearance.

Tranifesto the Nashville Shooter Watch along
Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy headed to Nashville on Wednesday and demanded that Gov. Bill Lee release the writings of Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale.
Ramaswamy slammed politicians and law enforcement for their “stonewalled silence” on the deadly shooting by the 28-year-old transgender artists who opened fire in the private elementary school on the morning of March 27.
“We have to learn from tragedy to prevent it in the future,” Ramaswamy told a crowd as he stood in front of Davidson County Courthouse in Nashville Wednesday afternoon.
He railed against Lee, the Metro Nashville Police Department and the FBI as he repeated “Tell us the truth,” before adding: “The whole truth, nothing but the truth.”
“I do believe they’re hiding this manifesto,” he added.
Ramaswamy further slammed the FBI for “hiding and sitting on this manifesto” despite having released similar writings in other instances of mass shootings.
He called it “perfectly reasonable” for officials to release a redacted version of the writings.
“But what we do need to know is this killer’s motives, this killer’s psychological state of mind, the truth of the matter is that we have a mental health epidemic in this country that is driving a wave of violence around this country,” he said.

Mike Johnson Fox Interview
The ascension of Mike Johnson to the post of speaker of the House marks the latest and perhaps the most consequential event to date in the alliance of white evangelical Christians with the Republican Party.
It also adds a chapter to the alliance of evangelicals and former President Donald Trump. If there were many in the Capitol and in the country surprised to see the little-known Johnson as speaker, they share that amazement with those who could not imagine Trump in the White House.
Beyond that, there is the eye-opening fact that these utterly different personalities — and the conservative Christian movement itself — all owe their current status and power to their cooperation with each other.
Who is Mike Johnson? An ardent conservative who embraces far-right policies
POLITICS
Who is Mike Johnson? An ardent conservative who embraces far-right policies
How Johnson came to be speaker
Those in conservative circles are still debating Trump's role in the rebellion that ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy in early October. As president he had a relationship with McCarthy, even calling him "my Kevin" at times. This year he was not pleased to see McCarthy strike a deal with Democrats on the debt ceiling in the spring and again on the government shutdown deadline this fall. But the anger that boiled over and forced McCarthy out came from within his own ranks of House members.
Thereafter, Trump did put an endorsement for Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, one of the several candidates who would be nominated to succeed McCarthy but unable to get a majority of the whole House to elect him. Jordan had been perhaps the fiercest defender of the former president during Trump's first impeachment proceeding in 2019.
Trump's backing was a big plus for Jordan, who had not been part of the leadership before. But in the end, even that endorsement was not enough. The fear among swing-district Republicans was that Jordan's high-profile abrasiveness would dim or even doom their own reelection prospects in 2024.
POLITICS
What the House speaker election fiasco says about Trump's power
When Jordan failed, the House Republicans entertained a new batch of candidates for their nomination, and among them, Johnson initially got just 32 votes out of more than 200. The field shrank to just Johnson and Tom Emmer of Minnesota, the House majority whip and next on the leadership ladder. Emmer prevailed 117 to 97.
Trump had made it clear earlier that Emmer was not his pick, calling him "totally out of touch with Republican voters" and a "globalist RINO." The Minnesotan had voted to certify the results of the election in 2020, apparently making him anathema to Trump and therefore to many House Republicans. Without even taking the issue to the floor, Emmer withdrew.
Johnson, a junior member of leadership little known outside Louisiana but a champion of Trump's false claims of election fraud in 2020, suddenly stood tall. Trump came out for him, clearing that hurdle. So the choice for his party confreres had become Johnson now, or who-knows-who and who-knows-when. After three weeks of indulging their personal preferences, they were ready to be done.
Johnson's conservative record
Trump erupted with predictions of success for Johnson on social media. He will certainly be the most pro-Trump speaker. He may also be the most conservative speaker in generations, and surely the most public about his religiosity. The first photos to go viral after his selection showed him leading the House GOP in prayer.

MightyMeatia News Round-Up!
A jury has found Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of all seven criminal counts against him. The former FTX CEO faces a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison.
Bankman-Fried, the 31-year old son of two Stanford legal scholars and graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, had pleaded not guilty to charges including wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering tied to the collapse late last year of crypto exchange FTX and sister hedge fund Alameda Research.
The jury returned a swift verdict after receiving the case at around 3:15 p.m. on Thursday.
The trial, which began in early October, pitted the testimony of Bankman-Fried’s former close friends and top lieutenants against the sworn statements of their former boss and ex-roomate.
The government’s key witnesses included Caroline Ellison, Bankman-Fried’s ex-girlfriend and the former head of Alameda, and FTX co-founder Gary Wang, who was Bankman-Fried’s childhood friend from math camp. Both pleaded guilty in December to multiple charges and cooperated as witnesses for the prosecution.
The central question for jurors to consider was whether Bankman-Fried acted with criminal intent in taking customer funds from FTX and using that money to pay for real estate, venture investments, corporate sponsorships, political donations and to cover losses at Alameda.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos told the court in his closing argument on Wednesday, there was “no serious dispute” that $10 billion in customer money that was sitting in FTX’s crypto exchange went missing. The issue, he said, is whether Bankman-Fried knew that taking the money was wrong.
“The defendant schemed and lied to get money, which he spent,” Roos said.
In the absence of a successful appeal, Bankman-Fried now awaits sentencing. His case has been compared to that of Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of medical device company Theranos, which ceased operations in 2018.
Holmes, 39, was convicted in early 2022 on four counts of defrauding investors in Theranos after testifying in her own defense. She was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison, and began serving her punishment in May at a minimum-security facility in Bryan, Texas.

The Legend - Bobby Knight - RIP
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Bob Knight, one of the most successful and influential figures in the history college basketball, passed away on Nov. 1, 2023 surrounded by family and friends. He was 83 years old.
Knight's coaching accomplishments are legendary. He went 902-371 during a 42-year head coaching career that included stops at Army (1966-71), Indiana (1972-2000), and Texas Tech (2002-08). Those 902 wins ranked No. 1 all-time when he retired in 2008, and currently ranks sixth. He was a four-time National Coach of the Year, a five-time Big Ten Coach of the Year, and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame (1991), the College Basketball Hall of Fame (2006), and the IU Athletics Hall of Fame (2009).
While he enjoyed tremendous success at each of his three head coaching stops, he became a larger-than-life figure in the sport thanks to his accomplishments in Bloomington. Hired by IU at the age of 30 in 1971, he led the program to three NCAA titles (1976, 1981, 1987), five Final Fours (1973, 1976, 1981, 1987, 1992), and 11 Big Ten Regular Season Championships (1973-76, 1980-81, 1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1993) in his 29 years as head coach. Knight's 1976 team, which went 32-0 on its way to the NCAA title, remains the most recent to go undefeated on its way to an NCAA title. His 1975 and 1976 teams, meanwhile, each went undefeated (18-0) in Big Ten play, and no Big Ten team has gone undefeated in a single season in league play since. Indiana's 37 consecutive Big Ten wins during that period also established a new conference standard that has never been seriously threatened.
Knight's dominance at IU stretched through all three decades that he coached in Bloomington. The 1970s included four Big Ten titles, two Final Fours, and one of the greatest teams in college basketball history with the undefeated 1976 national champions. As great as the 1970s were, the 1980s were even better. College basketball's most successful team during the decade, Knight's teams captured two NCAA titles and five Big Ten championships. In the 1990s, the Hoosiers won two more league crowns, advanced to another Final Four, earned 10 NCAA tourney bids, and four straight Sweet 16 trips. The 1990s also featured one of Knight's greatest teams to not win an NCAA title, as the 1993 team went 17-1 in the Big Ten, was the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, and featured four players that would eventually be first-round NBA Draft picks.
In addition to his accomplishments representing Indiana University, Knight also enjoyed similar success on the international level. He assembled and coached arguably the greatest amateur men's basketball team in history, as he led the 1984 U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in Los Angeles, and guided the U.S. team to the 1979 Pan American Games gold as well.
While his teams excelled on the court, Knight's student-athletes also embodied what it meant to be a student-athlete. During his IU coaching career, 98 percent of his four-year players earned their degrees.
Besides being one of the sport's most successful coaches, Knight was also one of the most innovative. He revolutionized and popularized the 'motion offense,' an offensive style originally credited to one of Knight's mentors, Henry Iba. Unlike traditional 'set' offensive plays, the motion offense relied on player movement, proper spacing, passing, cutting, and screening to create scoring opportunities. It's a style of play that became synonymous with Knight and his IU teams, and it remains very much a staple of many of the game's most successful coaches to this day. Defensively, Knight was equally committed to a single style, as he had a deeply-rooted belief in the merits of the man-to-man defense.
The successes of both styles were enormous throughout his IU tenure, as his Hoosier teams were traditionally one of the Big Ten's most efficient offensively and one of the most difficult to score against defensively. As a result, Indiana won 73.5 percent of its games during Knight's tenure, the best among all Big Ten programs during that period. IU also earned 24 invitations to the NCAA Tournament during his 29 years, going 42-21 (.667) in those games. Overall, 28 of Knight's 29 IU teams earned postseason invitations.
While Knight's system and his unwavering belief in those coaching philosophies were a big part of his success at IU, an even more important component of his success was the abundance of exceptional student-athletes that he attracted to and developed in Bloomington.
In all, Knight coached nine Big Ten MVPs and 27 All-Americans at IU. His first Big Ten MVP was Steve Downing, who earned the honor in 1973 after leading Knight's second Hoosier team to the program's first Big Ten title in six years and its first Final Four trip in 20 seasons. The next to win the award was Scott May, the Big Ten's MVP in both 1975 and 1976 who also became Knight's first National Player of the Year in 1976. Calbert Cheaney became Knight's second National Player of the Year in 1993 after guiding IU to a Big Ten title, an Elite Eight berth, and becoming the Big Ten's all-time leading scorer with 2,613 points, a mark that stands to this day.
The list of Knight's legendary IU players doesn't end there. Far from it. Quinn Buckner was a two-time All-American, a three-time Big Ten champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and a future NBA champion whom Knight often referenced as the greatest leader in program history. Isiah Thomas was a 1981 All-American who guided IU to the NCAA title that same season before going on to a Hall of Fame and championship professional career with the NBA's Detroit Pistons. Steve Alford was a Big Ten MVP and two-time All-American who led the 1987 team to an NCAA title. And current IU coach Mike Woodson was a two-time All-American and 1980 Big Ten MVP who was Knight's first IU player to score 2,000 career points.
Knight was born on Oct. 25, 1940, in Orrville, Ohio. A multi-sport standout at Orrville H.S., Knight played basketball at Ohio State for Hall of Fame Coach Fred Taylor from 1958-62. A key reserve on those Buckeye teams, Knight played alongside future Hall of Famers John Havlicek and Jerry Lucas and helped OSU to the 1960 NCAA title and NCAA runner-up finishes in both 1961 and 1962.
After graduating from Ohio State in 1962, Knight spent one year coaching high school basketball at Cuyahoga Falls (Ohio) H.S. before enlisting in the Army in 1963. While in the Army, Knight accepted an assistant coaching position with the men's basketball team, and two years later was promoted to head coach at the age of 24. He went 102-50 in six years with the program and earned four NIT invitations before IU Athletic Director Bill Orwig announced his hiring as IU's new head coach on March 27, 1971.

Clinton Body Count [RUMBLE ONLY]
Scholars of the Clinton Body Count posit that there are spikes in deaths around key scandals in the Clintons’ political careers. For example, the Whitewater scandal in the early 90s, the impeachment trial in the late 90s, and Hillary’s doomed run for the White House in 2016.
But the deaths have continued to this day and they all have key details in common. The people who died mysterious deaths were shot spontaneously and in public places, sometimes from behind, sometimes by unknown assailants and often just before they were set to release incriminating evidence concerning the Clintons’ activities. In most cases, there were no signs of theft at the crime scenes. And while some of the deaths were ruled “suicides” despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, other cases remain officially unsolved.
The death of Bill Clinton’s former aide Mark Middleton is a classic of the genre. It was ruled a “suicide” by the Perryville sheriff’s office this week, despite the suspicious circumstances in which his body was found.
In early May 2022, Middleton, 59, was found dead attached to a tree with an extension cord tied around his neck. He also had a gunshot wound to his chest but no gun was found anywhere near his body at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas. In fact, the gun that fired the fatal shot was never recovered.
Middleton was President Bill Clinton’s “fixer” during his presidency and was found dead shortly after it was revealed that he was the man who introduced Clinton to Jeffrey Epstein and who admitted the notorious pedophile to the Clinton White House on 17 occasions.
Like Bill Clinton, he also flew on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” private jet numerous times, according to The Daily Mail who state the controversial ruling on Middleton’s death “raises more questions than answers as it rules he died by suicide – despite no sign of the weapon that killed him.”
And they are not wrong. As high-profile figures connected to the Clintons and Jeffrey Epstein continue dropping dead, the Epstein clean-up conspiracy has become so obvious that even the mainstream media are struggling to contain it.

On Sunday, an Alaska Airlines flight made an unexpected diversion to Portland International Airport in Oregon following an incident involving an off-duty Alaska pilot attempting to interfere with the aircraft’s engines, officials said.
Horizon Air was responsible for the operation of Alaska Airlines Flight 2059, which was en route from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco before being diverted and landing safely. It’s worth noting that pilots frequently utilize jump seats in the cockpit for their commuting needs.
According to Alaska Airlines, “The jump seat occupant unsuccessfully attempted to disrupt the operation of the engines. The Horizon Captain and First Officer quickly responded, engine power was not lost, and the crew secured the aircraft without incident.”
A recorded communication from LiveATC seemed to suggest that one of the flight’s pilots reported the individual’s attempt to shut down the engines. The recording stated, “We’ve got the guy who tried to shut the engines down out of the cockpit and he doesn’t sound like he’s causing any issue in the back now. Other than that we want law enforcement as soon as we get on the ground and parked.”
The flight’s pilot successfully landed the plane in Portland without any reported injuries, as confirmed by Kieran Ramsey, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Portland. Ramsey assured the traveling public that there was no ongoing threat related to this incident.
The off-duty pilot involved, 44-year-old Joseph David Emerson, is now in custody and faces charges including 83 counts of attempted murder, 83 counts of reckless endangerment, and endangering an aircraft, according to records from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.
The pilots’ union refrained from immediate comment on the situation.

LIVE - Speaker of the House Election Part 4
The House is expected to vote Wednesday on whether to install Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) as its speaker. Late Tuesday, Johnson became the fourth Republican pick for the post since the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) three weeks ago. It remains unclear whether Johnson can accomplish what the other three could not: achieve a majority vote in the full chamber. Johnson, vice chair of the House Republican Conference, has maintained a lower profile than previous GOP picks for speaker since his election to Congress in 2016.

Apollo 11 Re-LIVE (Week 1)
Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon and is one of the most iconic events in the history of space exploration. Here are some key facts about the Apollo 11 mission:
Mission Objectives: Apollo 11 was launched by NASA on July 16, 1969, with the primary objective of landing astronauts on the Moon and returning them safely to Earth. The mission aimed to demonstrate the capabilities required for lunar exploration.
Crew: The Apollo 11 crew consisted of three astronauts:
Neil Armstrong: Mission Commander
Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin: Lunar Module Pilot
Michael Collins: Command Module Pilot
Lunar Module: The Lunar Module, named "Eagle," separated from the Command Module in lunar orbit. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface in the Lunar Module while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit.
Lunar Landing: On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin piloted the Lunar Module to a successful landing on the Moon's surface in the region known as the Sea of Tranquility.
First Steps on the Moon: On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the Moon. He famously declared, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Activities on the Moon: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin conducted various experiments, collected samples of lunar soil and rocks, and planted the American flag on the Moon's surface. They spent about two and a half hours outside the Lunar Module.
Return to Earth: After spending approximately 21 hours on the lunar surface, the Lunar Module's ascent stage rejoined the Command Module in lunar orbit. The astronauts then began their journey back to Earth.
Splashdown: Apollo 11 successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969. The crew was recovered by the USS Hornet.
Historic Achievement: Apollo 11 was a historic achievement and a major milestone in the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. It demonstrated American technological prowess and fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon before the end of the decade.
Scientific Contributions: The mission brought back valuable scientific data, including lunar rock and soil samples, which provided insights into the Moon's history and the solar system's formation.
Apollo 11's success marked the beginning of a series of lunar missions and was a significant moment in human history. It remains an iconic event, with Neil Armstrong's first step on the Moon being one of the most memorable moments in the 20th century.

LIVE Interview with Matheau Moore! The Ohio murder trial we have been covering!
A man allegedly murdered his wife and made it look like a suicide. Matheau Moore, 51, stands trial in Delaware County, Ohio.
Wife Emily Noble, 52, was last seen on her birthday: May 24, 2020. She was reported missing the next day. Her body turned up in tragic and grisly fashion the following Sept. 16. She was found hanging from a tree in a wooded area near her home. There was reportedly a 20-inch USB cord around her neck. There were multiple injuries to her head and neck. Authorities determined that this was homicide.
Noble was so badly decomposed authorities had to use dental records to identify her.
Prosecutors argue Moore killed her and staged the hanging. He faces charges of murder and felonious assault.
Moore’s previous wife Lisa Pedersen told WBNS in a June 2021 report that he once choked her when she was pregnant with their first son. It was New Year’s Day 2001, she said. They had been married three months.
“He came over, and he did, for some reason, he ended up, yeah, putting his hands around my neck,” she reportedly said. “And he started to choke me.”
It was the only time he put a hand on her, and they kept in touch throughout the years, Pedersen said. Though they maintained contact, she noted that he, contrary to contemporaneous media reports, claimed to be participating in the search for Noble.
“Once the details were made clear to me, I started to lean toward his guilt,” she said.
Both of their sons are now dead, according to WBNS. One of the children reportedly died at 17 by hanging in a park the summer before Noble’s disappearance.
