A pathologist from Lubbock, Texas, Dr. Joseph Sonnier, was murdered in his own home, leaving behind the authorities and loved ones with a trail of mysteries. With each unsettling truth revealed, the case became as strange as it could ever get—a murder-for-hire plot, a complicated love triangle, and two heartbroken families (the victim’s and the killer’s). After nearly a decade, following David Shepard, the murderer’s conviction in 2013, NBC Dateline is finally set to revisit the gruesome murder of a celebrated doctor, whose murder was the result of a not-so-carefully orchestrated plan....

Hawley was among the GOP lawmakers who rejected the Electoral College results that delivered the White House to President Joe Biden. Supporters of Donald Trump spurred by these false claims of election fraud stormed the Capitol on January 6, leading to five deaths. After donors and local figures distanced themselves from the senator, Hawley gave a bullish response when asked by KTVO whether he had helped incite the mob and was putting his political career ahead of his constituents....

After all, what NFL team would hire a coach who spurned another after a month-plus of negotiations? Well, the Raiders weren’t scared off by McDaniels’ cold feet. Four years after the Colts-McDaniels saga, Las Vegas hired McDaniels to be its new head coach. This was a relative surprise. Rich Bisaccia had been successful as the interim coach in Las Vegas, but evidently, Raiders owner Mark Davis was “blown away” by McDaniels....

Smith, now playing for the Rockets, drained a 3-point shot in the third quarter (with the help of a friendly bounce) and then told the crowd to hush. The crowd didn’t listen and decided to boo him instead. According to ESPN’s Kevin Arnovitz, Smith was booed every time he touched the ball Tuesday. When Smith, an Atlanta product, was asked about the boos, he wasn’t very kind to the hometown fans....

That said, the direction of Resident Evil 6 is in-line with Capcom’s long-range plans for the series - exemplified by the publishers decision to launch the upcoming title alongside other blockbuster properties set for release in Holiday 2012 (Assassin’s Creed 3, Halo 4, and the yet-to-be [officially] announced Black Ops 2). Speaking with Game Informer, Senior Vice President of Planning and Business Development at Capcom, Christian Svensson, offered up his thoughts on the new high traffic release window (as opposed to the January and March launch dates of Resident Evil 4 and 5, respectively):...

Leadership in the House is less about getting people to like you than it is about inspiring fear, and there is no better practitioner of winning through intimidation than the former pest exterminator from Sugarland, Texas. DeLay is a cold, pragmatic politician. All of K Street lives in fear of him. He has threatened to cut off access to trade organizations that hire Democrats, and his aggressive fundraising stops just short of a shakedown....

The Red Devils fought back and earned a draw via a scrappy Juan Mata goal which came from a rebound off an Ander Herrera header with just over ten minutes to go. The match was notable for the number of first-team players Manchester United were missing due to all of the World Cup participants enjoying an extended preseason break. Of the debutants, Tahith Chong enjoyed a particularly impressive game after coming on in the second half....

The Bills had an AFC championship game appearance all but locked up on Sunday, after Gabriel Davis’ fourth touchdown of the night gave Buffalo a 36-33 lead with just 13 seconds left to play. Well, as the saying goes, man plans, football gods laugh. In this case, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs drove down to field-goal range, gaining 43 yards in less than 13 seconds, kicked the game-tying field goal and then won in overtime....

Hawley’s book, Manhood: The Masculine Virtues Americans Need, is set to hit bookstore shelves next May, according to The Kansas City Star. The book will reportedly focus on traits that Hawley says are masculine—such as “responsibility, bravery, fidelity and leadership”—and builds off a speech that the Republican senator previously gave in which he slammed Democrats for supposedly teaching men “that their manhood is the problem.” An opinion article published by the Star last week dubbed Hawley “a laughingstock” after the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U....

Hawley was among the GOP lawmakers who most prominently questioned the results of the 2020 presidential election and pushed for Congress not to certify the results on January 6, 2021. A photo of the senator outside the Capitol, raising his fists in the air in a show of support to gathered supporters of Donald Trump, has since become synonymous with politicians backing the former president’s “Big Lie.” In a piece published Friday, the editorial board of The Kansas City Star said that Hawley, and fellow Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas, “owe good Republicans [the truth] about the lies of Jan....

Yarde (23-2, 22 KOs) will face fearsome unified light-heavyweight champion Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs) at Wembley Arena on Saturday night. On paper, it is a huge step up for Yarde, who was stopped in 11 rounds on his previous world-title tilt against Sergey Kovalev in 2019 and was forced to avenge a second career defeat when he stopped Lyndon Arthur in four rounds in December 2021. As their records show, there is formidable punching power on both sides of the equation, with a thrilling shootout anticipated....

In footage that has resurfaced on TikTok, the black Labrador retriever, who comes from Norfolk in England, U.K. appears overjoyed at receiving the present, regardless of what is inside. In fact, the pooch initially appears hesitant to even unwrap the gift, evidently enjoying the feel and texture of the paper in his mouth....

The tiny rodents are eating their way through native insects, seabirds, and plants that are not found anywhere else. The findings of the study were published in the PeerJ - Life and Environment journal. The mice were introduced to the Farallon Islands, 30 miles off San Francisco, by 19th-century sailors. Their population has since soared to about 50,000, inhabiting an area roughly the size of two football fields. There is now a proposed plan by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to eradicate them....

Many were expecting to see a lot of the games that ended up being announced today, like the sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man, Gran Turismo 7, and, of course, RE8.
