The suspect of a 2017 cold case has been arrested following a tip sent to a GoFundMe page. Michael Anthony Arredondo, 34, was arrested on October 15 for the murder of his friend and neighbor, Evin Paulos, 25. The two were last seen getting into a car together after a fallout and a fistfight. Paulos’ body was found with 30 stab wounds in the desert, 10 miles away from their neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona. Arredondo went on the run following the killing, eluding authorities and creating the very real possibility that Paulos’ family would never have justice. That changed when a person messaged the GoFundMe in Spanish saying Arredondo was in Mexico, according to AZ Central. “Please, I don’t know if this is a scam or not,” the slain man’s sister, Eviein Paulo, replied. “Can you send me some kind of evidence, send me a picture?” A picture of Arredondo was sent, sparking a joint operation between Mexican authorities and Phoenix cops. Speaking on Monday, Phoenix police detective Dominick Rostenberg said Arredondo had confessed, although no motive has yet been determined. He is being held on a $1.5 million bail. “I can let go of the anger that I’ve had for so long and just try to concentrate on life,” Eviein told KSAZ. A long-dormant volcano has swollen 3.5 inches in 10 months, scientists say—amid concern that it could erupt for the first time in more than 700,000 years. New research in Geophysical Research Letters, reported by the New York Post, detected a nine-centimeter uplift between July 2023 and May 2024 that has not subsided, signaling pressure building below the surface of the Taftan mountain’s summit near the Iran-Pakistan border. The work—based on Sentinel-1 satellite data—suggests either a change in the hydrothermal system or movement of magma. Locals reported sulfurous fumes in 2023, with odors detected up to roughly 30 miles away. “It has to release somehow in the future, either violently or more quietly,” volcanologist Pablo González told Live Science, stressing there is no sign of an imminent eruption but urging closer monitoring. The volcano—standing about 12,927 feet—has no confirmed eruption in the record of human history. Scouted selects products independently.

Two people, one of them a pedestrian, have been taken to the hospital after an aircraft landed on a soccer field, where it collided with a woman. The plane went down in Heartwell Park, Long Beach, California. KTLA reports it may have been an experimental vehicle. The pedestrian, a female in her 40s, was transported to a local area hospital. The network added that the aircraft’s elderly pilot may have been attempting to make an emergency landing at Long Beach Airport, approximately 1.5 miles away. The plane, in a red, white, and blue livery and covered with stars, lay crumpled on the ground. Long Beach Fire Department said in a statement that when emergency “units arrived, they found one small aircraft on its belly with broken landing gears. The plane’s fuselage was intact. When the plane landed, it collided with a pedestrian in the park.” It said that responders removed the pilot, an “elderly male, from the airplane and transported him via paramedics to a local area hospital.” Both patients suffered moderate injuries and were in stable condition.

Posted by Long Beach Fire Department on Tuesday 21 October 2025 Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the country is on the wrong track under President Donald Trump, according to a new poll, with independents driving the slide. In the 16th annual American Values Survey by the nonprofit, nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute, 62 percent say the U.S. is headed the wrong way, including 71 percent of independents and 92 percent of Democrats, while 24 percent of Republicans now agree. The poll, conducted by Ipsos, found majorities say the economy (65 percent), the federal government’s functioning (65 percent), foreign affairs (60 percent), and immigration policy (57 percent) are going in the wrong direction. On policy specifics, majorities say the administration has gone too far with cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Obamacare (60 percent), cuts to universities and research (55 percent), new tariffs (54 percent), and boosting ICE funding to accelerate arrests and deportations (52 percent). Nearly six in 10 oppose ICE officers concealing their identities or using unmarked vehicles during arrests (58 percent). PRRI CEO Melissa Deckman said independents “are very unhappy with Trump’s actions.” Scouted selects products independently. If you purchase something from our posts, we may earn a small commission.

A person has been taken into custody after a vehicle was driven into a section of the White House perimeter. Secret Service officers said the suspect, who has not been named, rammed into the estate’s vehicle gate near the corner of 17th and E Streets. No motive has been made public, nor have any further details about the incident been released. In a post on X, the Secret Service said, “An individual drove a vehicle into the Secret Service vehicle gate located at 17th & E St, NW, in Washington, D.C. The individual was arrested [and] the vehicle was assessed and deemed safe. Our investigation into the cause of this collision is ongoing.” The incident happened at about 10:37 p.m. on Tuesday. Images show a dark grey vehicle with two of its doors open being inspected by a bomb disposal robot. 7News DC reported that the Secret Service said, ”The individual was immediately arrested by U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers, and the vehicle was assessed by Secret Service and the Metropolitan Police Department and deemed safe. Additional information will be provided upon conclusion of the investigation.” An Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on Monday caused many popular apps and online services to crash, and even affected services in the bedroom. The company Eight Sleep, which offers “Pod” mattress covers that operate on autopilot via the internet—adjusting temperature, elevating your body, and playing integrated soundscapes to enhance sleep—had to apologize after reports emerged that users experienced problems controlling the bed and setting it to offline mode, causing some beds to overheat or remain in positions that disrupted sleep. “The AWS outage has impacted some of our users since last night, disrupting their sleep. That is not the experience we want to provide, and I want to apologize for it,” posted the CEO of Eight Sleep, Matteo Franceschetti, on Monday. In response, users on X who purchased the “Pod” for $2,000 or more voiced their frustrations. “Would be great if my bed wasn’t stuck in an inclined position due to an AWS outage. Cmon now,” one user posted on X. After 6 p.m. ET on Monday, AWS noted that all services returned to normal operations, yet some Eight Sleep users called for the systems to be modified so beds could work offline in the future. Retired sportscaster and former Today co-host Bryant Gumbel has been hospitalized after a “medical emergency”, TMZreported on Tuesday. Sources told the outlet that the 77-year-old was taken to a local hospital from his Manhattan apartment building on Monday evening, and remains hospitalized as of Tuesday afternoon. A family member reportedly told TMZ that Gumbel is “okay” but provided no further details about his condition or why he was taken to the hospital. Gumbel began his television career in 1972 as a sportscaster for KNBC-TV in Los Angeles. He worked for NBC for nearly 25 years, serving as a co-anchor for its Today show for 15 years before moving on to host CBS’s Public Eye and The Early Show. Gumbel also became the first Black journalist to receive a Sports Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award for his work on HBO’s series Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, which he hosted from 1995 to 2023, when he officially retired. His older brother, Greg, who was also a broadcaster, died last year at age 78, according to TMZ. The Daily Beast has contacted Gumbel’s representatives but received no immediate response. Trump critics are flooding the company that is demolishing part of the White House with one-star reviews. Maryland-headquartered Aceco LLC is facing backlash for destroying a portion of the East Wing, which houses the first lady’s offices, to make way for President Donald Trump’s $250 million ballroom. “Destroying ‘The People’s House’ with no regard for their permission,” read a one-star review on Google Maps. “Deplorable act no matter the reason.” Another person added, “The White House is a Historical Landmark. How is this legal?” The company’s rating dropped at one point to 1.8 stars, until Google revised it to 4.1. Former CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta also questioned the project in a Monday post on X. “So any president can just start destroying portions of the White House? Is that how this works?” he wrote. Trump’s 90,000-square-foot project is expected to be completed “long before” the end of his presidency, according to White House officials. “They’ve wanted a ballroom for 150 years,” Trump said during an event at the White House. “And I’m giving that honor to this wonderful place.” The ballroom marks the White House’s first structural change since the Truman Balcony was added in 1948.

Ryan Coogler’s hit horror movie Sinners is being resurrected, just in time for Halloween. The vampire flick, starring Michael B. Jordan as not one but two blues-playing gangsters, will return to select IMAX theaters across the country for one week only beginning Thursday, Oct. 30, just ahead of Halloween weekend. The film, which is written and directed by two-time Oscar nominee Coogler (Black Panther), broke records when it premiered in April, delivering the biggest opening weekend for an original story since Jordan Peele’s Us in 2019. The film retained a captive audience through its second week and beyond, in large part due to word of mouth praise for the filmmaking, acting, and unique story, which blends Southern gothic storytelling with a bit of vampirism in the 1930s Jim Crow South. The movie, which opened on April 18 and maintained an impressive audience through mid-July, ended up with a total box office haul of nearly $370 million globally. Sinners is currently the fifth highest-grossing movie of the year, and the biggest horror movie by far. Outfits from the film are listed as some of this year’s most sought-after Halloween costumes, according to Gizmodo, so fans of the film will likely jump at the chance to see the movie on the big screen once more. A Las Vegas-bound flight from Boston was forced to return on Monday night after a 37-year-old man from Louisville, Kentucky, became “verbally abusive” on board. The JetBlue plane left Logan International Airport at 8:18 p.m. and almost made it to Buffalo, New York, before turning back to the Massachusetts capital. At 10 p.m., JetBlue operations notified troopers that the plane was returning to the gate due to a “non-compliant passenger who had been verbally abusive,” according to state police. The Airbus A321 made a safe landing at 10:30 p.m. The man is being summoned to appear in court for interfering with the flight crew, state police said. His name has not been released. “Safety is JetBlue’s first priority, and we appreciate everyone’s patience while we addressed this situation,” the airline said in a statement. Back in August, another JetBlue passenger at Logan got into trouble with the law after stripping completely naked at a gate. State troopers quickly swarmed him and hauled him away.
