NEW YORK — Palms were sweating. Heart rates were elevated. Quick prayers were being whispered.
The family of the only suspect in the disappearance of a British journalist and Indigenous official in the Amazon is claiming he is innocent. The family also alleges that authorities are trying to force a confession. Police in the state of Amazonas, where the disappearance took place, have said they can't comment on the accusations because the case is now being handled by Federal Police. Freelance journalist Dom Phillips and Indigenous official Bruno Pereira were last seen on Sunday morning in the Javari Valley, Brazil’s second-largest Indigenous territory which sits in an isolated area bordering Peru and Colombia. The two men were in the Sao Rafael community. They were returning by boat to the nearby city of Atalaia do Norte but never arrived.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission has selected a Republican attorney to serve as its new leader. The commission voted 5-1 on Friday to make Don Millis the new commission chairman. He replaces Democrat Ann Jacobs. The position is crucial; the chair approves the vote canvass following elections and certifies results. The chair also sets the agenda for the commission and can influence how questions are framed, a key power on a panel that's evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. State law required that the next chair be one of two Republicans in the form of Millis or Bob Spindell. Spindell has taken many positions that have angered Democrats, including casting an Electoral College vote for Donald Trump in 2020.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The University of California, Davis graduation ceremony was abruptly cut short Friday morning after extreme heat left six people hospitalized.
Angered by the unrelenting toll from gun violence, tens of thousands of people are expected at rallies this weekend in the nation’s capital and around the United States demanding that Congress pass meaningful changes to gun laws. The second March For Our Lives rally will take place Saturday in front of the Washington Monument. It's a successor to the 2018 march organized by student protestors after the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida. Now with recent shootings from Uvalde, Texas, to Buffalo, New York, bringing gun control back into the national conversation, organizers of this weekend’s events say the time is right to renew their push for a national overhaul.
Americans are putting more on their credit cards and taking out fewer mortgages, as they need to increasingly borrow to cover the higher cost of everyday essentials and respond to rising interest rates.

A lawsuit filed by the sister escalates the battle between the four Spanos siblings over control of the NFL franchise. Dea Spanos Berberian filed her a petition in San Joaquin County Superior Court and is seeking sole control of the family trust that has a 36% stake in the ownership of the Chargers.

A 29-year-old Idaho woman convicted of torturing and killing her 9-year-old stepson has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. Monique Osuna received the sentence Thursday in Fourth District Court. KTVB-TV reports that Osuna previously pleaded guilty to murdering Emrik Osuna in a deal that eliminated the death penalty. Erik Osuna, the boy's biological father, has also pleaded guilty to murder and is scheduled to be sentenced June 27. Videos from nanny cameras throughout the home show Erik and Osuna abusing Emrik, who is also forced to exercise for hours and becomes malnourished. He died in September 2020 at St. Luke's Children's Hospital in Boise.
Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to rescue a point for France in a 1-1 draw at Austria in the Nations League on Friday. But the defending champion is in last place with just two points from three group games. Mbappe curled a fine left-footed shot into the top corner in the 83rd minute for his 27th international goal. World Cup winner France is under pressure ahead of Monday night’s must-win home game with Croatia, which won 1-0 at Denmark thanks to Mario Pasalic’s goal midway through the second half. The Danes top Group 1 with six points while Austria and Croatia have four.

Records show Republican former U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci spent nearly $12 million in his failed primary bid against Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. Only about $290,000 of that was from outside donors. Post-primary campaign finance reports filed Friday show the governor spent $6.8 million during the primary season. He heads into the fall with nearly $7 million on hand. That's 10 times the amount of Democratic rival Nan Whaley. She is the former mayor of Dayton. Renacci reported loaning his campaign $15 million. DeWine bested Renacci and two other rivals critical of his COVID-19 policies. Whaley reported raising over $1 million as of June 3.
Authorities say the person killed when a steel crossbar collapsed at a freeway construction project was a Las Vegas police officer. A police procession on U.S. 95 followed the removal of the officer’s body more than six hours after the 7 a.m. Friday incident at U.S. 95 and the 215 Beltway in northwest Las Vegas. The officer’s name wasn't immediately made public, and it wasn't immediately clear if he was on-duty at the time. A state transportation spokesman says an oversized piece of construction equipment towed on a trailer dislodged the beam erected as a height warning for trucks approaching an interchange overpass work zone.

A judge has dismissed a case against five suspects charged in the 2012 killing of renown Puerto Rican boxer Macho Camacho after authorities said the star witness fled the island. Prosecutors have requested a second opportunity to have their case heard, adding that they have contacted authorities in Florida for help since they believe the witness is now there. Friday's ruling comes three months after Puerto Rico’s Justice Department announced the accusations against the five suspects with great fanfare since it marked the first time anyone was charged in nearly a decade since the killing.
The Louisiana Department of Corrections has suspended a prison warden while it investigates allegations that he crashed a state car while under the effects of prescribed pain pills. A news release Friday said Elayn Hunt Correctional Center Warden Kirt Guerin was suspended May 31. That was the day after state police arrested Guerin and ticketed him on a DWI charge. State Police investigators say Guerin hit a brick sign and tree while on his way to work around 7 a.m. on Memorial Day in Prairieville, sustaining minor injuries. Deputy Warden Stephanie Michel is acting warden. It was not clear whether Guerin has an attorney who could speak for him.

Former U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has become the latest big name to sign on with the Saudi-funded breakaway LIV Golf series. The decision is an about-turn by DeChambeau, who had previously said he would continue playing on the PGA Tour. That may not be possible now, as the PGA Tour announced Thursday that players who defect to the renegade series will face banishment from future tour events. Charl Schwartzel remains on course to win the maximum prize of $4.75 million at the inaugural LIV Golf event outside London. The former Masters champion has a three-shot lead over over fellow South African Hennie Du Plessis.

Radhika Fox, EPA assistant administrator for water, made the announcement Friday alongside Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig in Des Moines. The money will be distributed over the next five years to Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
NEW YORK — He’s going to a penalty box — but it won’t be at MSG.
Robert Redford and George R.R. Martin are the big names behind “Dark Winds,” but they’re not the most important. That distinction belongs to the Native American creators and actors who made the AMC mystery series. The director of “Dark Winds” says the storytelling is “an inside job,” with the result a Native American “film noir.” Based on the Tony Hillerman novels featuring Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police, “Dark Winds” puts the newly teamed lawmen on a double-murder case. The series starring Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon and Jessica Matten debuts Sunday on AMC and streaming service AMC+.
Florida State has fired baseball coach Mike Martin Jr. after the Seminoles failed to advance out of NCAA regionals for a second straight year. Athletic director Michael Alford said a national search for a new coach would begin immediately. Martin succeeded his father, Mike Martin Sr., after the 2019 season and went 77-54 overall, 35-31 in Atlantic Coast Conference games and 2-4 in NCAA regional games. Alford said making the change was not easy but that the program was not performing to the level of its high standards. Mike Martin Sr. is the all-time leader in college baseball coaching victories.
Wisconsin elections officials say Donald Trump’s pick for governor can stay on the ballot, despite questions over the required paperwork he submitted to be allowed to run. The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission voted unanimously on Friday to allow construction company co-owner Tim Michels to appear on the ballot for the Aug. 9 primary. Trump endorsed Michels over three other Republican candidates seeking to oust Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in the presidential battleground state. But Democrats filed a complaint with the elections commission arguing that Michels didn’t include his correct mailing address on his nomination papers.
AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas judge on Friday temporarily halted the state’s child abuse investigations into two families with transgender children, agreeing they faced immediate harm.
A white Chicago police officer captured on video struggling with a Black woman who was walking her dog in a lakefront park last summer has resigned from the department. A Chicago Department spokesperson says Officer Bruce Dyker resigned in May before any formal disciplinary action was announced against him. Dyker, who was placed on desk duty shortly after the incident, had been a Chicago officer since 1998. Videos showing Dyker grabbing Nikkita Brown shortly after midnight in August 2021, as she walked her dog at North Avenue Beach later went viral and prompted a police investigation. Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she was “quite disturbed” by the videos.
Bryson Worrell had four hits for the second straight game and East Carolina used a five-run eighth inning to beat Texas 13-7 in the opening game of the Greenville Super Regional. East Carolina (46-19), looking to reach its first College World Series, played in front of its largest crowd (5,723) at Clark-LeClair Stadium. The Pirates are now 2-12 in their seven super-regional appearances. Alec Makarewicz highlighted the eighth inning. He made a diving stop with a runner on third for the third out and he led off the bottom half with a fortunate home run to give ECU a 9-7 lead. His long shot to left-center field appeared to be caught by Douglas Hodo III, but it popped out of his glove and went over the wall.

Officials in the eastern Idaho city of Idaho Falls have agreed to pay $11.7 million to a man who spent about two decades in prison after being wrongfully convicted. The Idaho Falls City Council voted Thursday to accept the settlement agreement with Christopher Tapp. Tapp was convicted of rape and murder following the 1996 death of 18-year-old Angie Dodge. He was released in 2017, and DNA evidence cleared him in 2019. Tapp sued the city of Idaho Falls and the Idaho Falls Police Department in October 2020. The city asked that the lawsuit be dismissed, but opted to settle the lawsuit Thursday.
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has laid out a roadmap for the series of hearings it is holding this month as it examines President Donald Trump's responsibility for the melee. The next hearings won’t take place in prime time like the debut on Thursday, but they will go into greater detail about specific aspects of the insurrection. On Monday, lawmakers are expected to present evidence that Trump engaged in a “massive effort” to spread false information that the election had been stolen — even though advisers and allies told him repeatedly he had lost.
The brother of a man fatally shot by police outside an Alabama school that officials say he was trying to enter had “serious mental issues." Justin White tells WIAT-TV that 32-year-old Robert Tyler White seemed a little “off” the last time he saw him last week. Officials say a “potential intruder” later identified as White went to several doors trying to get into Walnut Park Elementary School in Gadsden on Thursday. A summer literacy program was being conducted at the time for nearly three dozen. children. All the exterior doors were locked, and police say White was killed after attempting to grab an officer’s gun.
A hole-by-hole look at The Country Club, which is hosting the 122nd U.S. Open. It's the fourth time at Brookline, and a playoff has decided the winner at each one. The course has been restored by Gil Hanse and it's a composite for championships of the three 9-hole courses. It features a 510-yard par 4 and a 131-yard par 3. There is plenty of history at Brookline. Part of the land was used for horse racing and steeplechase. There's even a pond that doesn't really come into play. It was used for skating and curling in the 19th century.
