A 26-year-old woman from St. Louis has been missing for more than a month after traveling alone to Washington State, where the last confirmed traces of her trip center around Olympic National Park.

Alleacya “Angel” Boulia arrived in the area on November 6th, according to her family. The last confirmed sighting of her was on November 17th while shopping in Port Angeles. The following day, she sent her mother a message saying she was safe. After that, there has been no sign of her.

On November 30th, the rental vehicle she had been using was found parked near the Sol Duc area inside the park. Officials have not said how long the vehicle had been there or what, if anything, is known about her movements in the days between her last sighting and the discovery of the car.

Angel's mom, April Boulia said that investigators found her daughter’s camping equipment and three Subway sandwiches she had purchased at a Washington-area Walmart inside the vehicle. She also said police discovered an Olympic National Park maintenance worker’s checklist and pool-related equipment in the car, items she described as unfamiliar.

The National Park Service has said the investigation remains active and ongoing, though search efforts have shifted to a "limited, clue-responsive phase."
clue-responsive phase, where teams respond to new information rather than searching continuously. What happened after her last confirmed contact, and why unfamiliar items were found inside the vehicle, remains unexplained.

Just in time for Christmas, the state of Tennessee issued a pardon to Jelly Roll.

The pardon was signed by Governor Bill Lee and clears convictions from earlier in his life. Jelly Roll has spoken openly about his record and how it shaped both his music and his advocacy work, particularly around rehabilitation and second chances.

With the pardon now official, a legal chapter that began back in his teens is now closed.that part of his record is finally behind him.
Definitely not the usual thing to find under the tree! 🎄

December 20, 1968 is the date associated with the first confirmed case in what would become a string of unsolved mysteries.

That Friday night, two teenagers, 17-year-old David Arthur Faraday and 16-year-old Betty Lou Jensen, were parked along Lake Herman Road on the outskirts of Benicia, California, on what was reportedly their first date. What happened there would later be recognized as the initial case tied to letters that would soon follow, signed with a name and symbol chosen by the sender himself, Zodiac.

Within months of the Lake Herman Road case, letters and handwritten ciphers began arriving at local police departments and newspaper offices. Some included letters arranged to create code no one understood, while others were in depth with direct statements about motive and his future plans.

In those letters, he claimed responsibility for 37 incidents. Investigators, however, were only able to firmly connect him to seven cases, two of which involved survivors, leaving the officially recognized number far lower than what was asserted. The cases have since been reexamined in books, documentaries, and films, yet decades later, the identity behind the letters remains unknown.
