What began as a search for a missing Long Island woman has ended with a sad outcome. A body found last week has been identified as 32-year-old Brittany Kritis-Garip.
Brittany had been missing since March 20th, after unexpectedly exiting a vehicle in what investigators called a distressed state in Oyster Bay. What exactly led up to that moment is still unclear, but she was a passenger in the car.
Last week, a body was located in the Long Island Sound near Lloyd Harbor Road after a 911 caller reported a person in the water. Two days later, Suffolk County police confirmed it was Brittany. Authorities say they do not currently believe this involved a criminal act, however her cause of death has not yet been released as the investigation continues.

A sad case out of southwest Alabama came to light late Sunday night, as a large law enforcement presence gathered outside a home in Wilmer. Now investigators are trying to piece together what had happened.
Inside the home, authorities say 46-year-old Lisa Gail Fields and her children, 12-year-old Thomas Cordelle Jr. and 17-year-old Keziah Arionna Luker, were found lifeless in separate rooms. Keziah was also eight months pregnant. An 18-month-old child who was also inside the home was not harmed.
Apparently Keziah’s boyfriend, who was working offshore, noticed activity on her phone through Life360 and couldn’t reach her. He contacted a family member nearby to check on the home. That person went inside, found what had happened, took the toddler to safety, and called authorities.
The sheriff said the home appeared to have been gone through and left in disarray, suggesting someone may have been searching for something. Investigators say they do not currently have any suspects and also mentioned they do not believe this involves a domestic or family-related situation. For now, exactly what led up to it remains unclear as the investigation continues.

The FBI is now pushing back on speculation around the "new DNA evidence" in the Nancy Guthrie case, making it clear the sample everyone is talking about isn’t new at all.
According to officials, the FBI had requested that genetic material nearly three months ago, but Pima County initially sent to a private lab in Florida instead. So that lab has just now transferred this original hair sample to the FBI’s lab for testing.
So what is different now is where that testing is happening, which makes a difference when the sample is a rootless hair. Because the FBI has access to forensic methods that can be used to examine it, and hopefully, determine the source.
That kind of testing has come up in other recent cases as well, including the investigation involving Rex Heuermann, where hair without a root was successfully identified. So for now, the real story isn't that its newly discovered, but whether this existing sample (now in the FBI’s hands) can produce anything more definitive.
