Watch riveting real-life mysteries and shocking crime tales — 24/7.

1. Texas man goes missing.

Four years ago, Texas State student Jason Landry disappeared while driving home for the holidays. To this day, his family is searching for answers.

Volunteer teams from Inyo County Search and Rescue and Texas EquuSearch have conducted the search. These search teams scoured both Mount Whitney’s main trail as well as its more difficult Mountaineer’s Trail before planning to reevaluate them Saturday and Sunday when weather conditions should improve.

Landry’s disappearance caused quite the uproar in small-town Texas, as true crime fanatics deluged local sheriff’s offices with fake tips and public-information requests from true crime enthusiasts. His case inspired conversations about being more cautious at night and using phone locators trackers when hiking; now, his family must come to terms with the possibility that their son may have been murdered by someone they knew; while the attorney general classified this investigation as cold case; his father Kent insists they won’t give up looking.

2. Vaccines are being pushed.

After years of vaccinations, boosters, rules and restrictions, some people are becoming “tired, jaded and fed-up.” Dr Mark Wall, senior clinical director for population health at Greater Manchester NHS Foundation Trust states: “If we continue pushing these groups to have vaccines at certain times or under certain conditions then vaccine uptake may decline in those groups.”

One of the defining moments in modern vaccine skepticism occurred in 1982 when an NBC affiliate broadcast an hourlong documentary called DPT: Vaccine Roulette. This show harshly criticised medical institutions while raising new concerns over long-term vaccine risks such as neurological damage.

Since then, public anxieties regarding vaccine safety have fluctuated as medical and political elites work to protect everyone. One of the most successful efforts has involved penalties or costs such as Australia’s “No Jab, No Pay” scheme or fines in Italy for refusing vaccinate children.

3. Car accidents.

An automobile accident, also referred to as a traffic collision or road crash, occurs when two moving or stationary objects collide, often with fatal results. Serious car crashes often leave victims with medical bills, lost wages from time off work and rehabilitation expenses that impact their quality of life – sometimes leaving victims with lasting physical injuries such as traumatic brain injuries that affect quality of life for years after. While the term “car crash” remains controversial among organizations preferring terms like vehicular homicide or staged accident instead.

4. Lara Trump is running for governor.

Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump and RNC Co-Chair and Fox News host from Wilmington (NC State grad) may consider running for North Carolina Senate as she does not plan to seek reelection this time around. Her eligibility to run in a state which mandates candidates reside there for 90 days is still up in the air however.

Republicans close to Trump have been encouraging her to run in what they see as a competitive race for Senate. Yet her friends suggest she remains tentative to make an announcement yet due to her young children still needing care and the potential disruption it would cause her schedule. One source says she could make her decision as late as the fall; for now the focus should remain on what will happen if Tillis chooses another route than running against Democrats for Senate.
