TUCSON, Ariz. — The Pima County Sheriff's Department released a pair of ransom notes Friday in the hope that someone can identify the author due to similarities between them that indicate they were written by the same person, who authorities said used a "unique linguistic style." Authorities have not yet confirmed that the notes are authentic, but Guthrie's daughter, "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie , has said she believes they may be — and investigators haven't ruled them out either. GOT A TIP? They were sent on Feb. 2 and Feb. 6. NEW DETAILS FROM NANCY GUTHRIE RANSOM DEMAND REVEALED, 'HER LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS': REPORT According to the sheriff's department, the two notes share a "unique linguistic style" and are believed to have been sent by the same person. The style is so distinct, that someone may be able to recognize the writer, authorities said. The notes included references to the crime scene that may not have been public a...

Shark sightings are common each summer from coast to coast — and though attacks are rare, they do happen. In August, shark activity begins to ramp up as they migrate and feed along the way, often bringing different species close to shore, according to experts. Dr. Chris Lowe, professor of marine biology and director of the Shark Lab at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), confirmed there has been an increase in white shark activity so far this year. SHARK SIGHTINGS SPIKE NEAR AMERICA'S BEACHES AS JULY 4 CROWDS HEAD TO SHORE FOR WEEKEND "We expect by August, September or October to see even more sharks off the Southern California coast," he told Fox News Digital. Wyatt Wernath, national spokesperson for the American Lifeguard Association and a retired ocean rescue chief based in Cocoa Beach, Florida, said they've seen typical numbers for this time of year, although there have been "a couple little nibbles" where people were "bit on the heels...

Willie Nelson urged Americans to think again when it comes to building the future. Nelson, 93, encouraged followers to "fight against data centers invading our land" in a social media plea shared Tuesday. The country music legend reflected on being able to see "stars at night" in his Texas hometown, but that light pollution and "water thieving" were imminent in a looming industrial climate. KACEY MUSGRAVES ABRUPTLY CANCELS CONCERT DATES FROM 'MIDDLE OF NOWHERE' TOUR "I grew up in Abbott, and I still have a home there with farmed land where I can still see stars at night," Nelson told his followers. "And now our community, like many others, needs to fight against data centers invading our land. SINGER ZACH TOP SLAMS MODERN COUNTRY MUSIC, SAYS IT LACKS 'SOUL' "The last thing we need is a loud, water thieving, light polluting, data center anywhere near our town (or any others for that matter)."

While last week's SEC Media Days saw plenty of coaches putting themselves in the spotlight with a litany of quotes , one coach from the Southeastern Conference rose above the rest. Florida's Jon Sumrall made quite a name for himself in Tampa last week during his inaugural spin as a head coach in the SEC, creating a bit of a stink on social media with his comments regarding a reporter's cell phone going off. Sumrall apparently wasn't done hogging the limelight, though this time it was his wife generating the headlines when she dropped the bombshell that one of the toughest coaches in the conference loves getting pedicures. FLORIDA COACH BRINGS LAUGHS, NO FILTER AND LANE KIFFIN COMPARISON REBUTTAL TO FIRST SEC MEDIA DAYS The internet once again reacted in kind, with fans and media members arguing both sides of the issue. Some saw no problem with a man taking care of his feet - especially feet that used to play linebacker in the SEC - while others said the revelation that...

It's official: Tommy Paul and influencer Paige Lorenze have tied the knot. The tennis power couple married earlier this month on Long Island. It's also official that despite giving up her last name and the handle associated with it, her rebranding doesn't mean she's going anywhere. The switch to Paige Paul might have mistakenly been taken as a sign that she was headed for the quiet life of a tennis WAG and that her influencing days were behind her. They're not. She's not even letting what should be a fun time for a couple of newlyweds keep her trading her bikini for armor in order to take on an injustice on behalf of influencers everywhere. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Paige came across an unthinkable sign at a local Nantucket store called Four Winds Craft Guild. The sign , which is hanging from the ceiling, reads "No Influencers." This business has been around since 1948 and somehow isn't aware of...

An 83-year-old widow can keep her Honolulu home after reaching a settlement with the city over nearly $600,000 in fines stemming from what she says was an online rental listing error. Sandra May, a retiree, rents an attached apartment on her property to supplement her fixed income. After her rental unit was accidentally advertised online as available for short-term stays, the city fined her $10,000 a day for nearly two months. Because May was hospitalized following a serious car crash, she did not initially see the city's notices, allowing the fines to balloon to $590,000. Under Honolulu ordinances, it is illegal to rent or advertise residential properties for periods of less than 30 days outside designated resort zones. 83-YEAR-OLD WOMAN SUES HONOLULU AFTER WEBSITE ERROR TURNED INTO $590K NIGHTMARE Attorneys representing May from the Pacific Legal Foundation argued the unit was never actually available for short-term stays and that the listing stemmed from a website glitch on the...

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) entered the final 100 days before the midterm elections Sunday at its Washington headquarters with debts exceeding cash by more than $2 million and no plans for its customary transfers to congressional campaign committees, after an early-spending strategy raised questions about support for House candidates in decisive swing districts. Federal Election Commission filings showed the DNC ended June with $16.3 million in cash and $18.5 million in debts, leaving liabilities approximately $2.2 million above its reserves. The Republican National Committee (RNC), by comparison, reported approximately $128.5 million on-hand and no outstanding debt. The New York Times reported that the DNC had asked vendors to delay spending bills until after the elections and informed congressional leaders it would not make its traditional transfers to the House and Senate campaign committees. The New York Times also noted that the DNC and an affiliated committee spent...

Popular children's YouTube educator "Ms. Rachel" faced criticism Sunday after a federal filing showed she gave $3,000 to Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate campaign, supporting the progressive Democrat in a nationally watched primary increasingly divided over Israel. The donation prompted National Republican Senatorial Committee spokeswoman Samantha Cantrell to warn parents about both figures, The New York Post reported . "Abdul El-Sayed and Ms. Rachel are one and the same, forcing their socialist, they/them, anti-America agenda on our children," Cantrell told The New York Post. "Parents should be worried when they head to the ballot box." DAVID MARCUS: IN BOOMING DETROIT, VOTERS SKEPTICAL OF SOCIALISM SNAKE OIL Rachel Griffin Accurso, who produces children's content under the name, "Ms. Rachel," was listed in a Federal Election Commission 48-hour notice dated July 19, according to the New York Post.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's recent admission that he lacks the legal authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has done little to ease ongoing tensions between himself and the Jewish community. Jewish leaders told Fox News Digital that they are still concerned about the mayor's rhetoric, which they believe deepens divisions at a time of heightened concern over antisemitism. Israel has remained one of the defining points of tension between Mamdani and the Jewish community in New York City since his campaign. When running for mayor, Mamdani said that he would seek to arrest Netanyahu, despite many pointing out that he did not have the authority to do so, which he ultimately admitted on Tuesday. The issue resurfaced this week after Mamdani released a video explaining that while City Hall lacks the authority to arrest Netanyahu, he believes the prime minister should be held accountable under the International Criminal Court's warrant. MAMDANI GOES ...

WNBA star Sophie Cunningham ruffled plenty of feathers with her recent comments regarding protecting women's sports. Several media personalities and even some fellow WNBA colleagues were quick to bristle at her statement about keeping biological men out of girls' sports, but the Indiana Fever guard has not backed down. The latest person to take umbrage with Cunningham's comments is a familiar and unlikely one, though, as childhood friend and podcast co-host, West Wilson, took to X to voice his displeasure with "right wingers" turning the trans in women's sports debate into a mountain of an issue. WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS WNBA STAR SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM AFTER SHE SPEAKS OUT IN SUPPORT OF PROTECTING WOMEN'S SPORTS "Transgender athletes in American sports is such a borderline nonexistent issue that right-wingers have convinced a massive portion of people in our country that these people are a threat to sports in America when mathematically, that's not the c...

Riley Gaines, the host of "The Riley Gaines Show," torched USA Today writer Nancy Armour over her recent and controversial Caitlin Clark column. In the opinion piece published earlier this week, Armour compared the lynching of Emmett Till to Caitlin Clark putting "Black" and "queer" WNBA players "in danger." "It shouldn’t need reminding this country has an awful history of Black people being harmed, even killed, in the name of 'defending' White women. The irony of the WNBA's All-Star Game is that it's happening this weekend in Chicago, the hometown of Emmett Till, who became an icon of the civil rights movement after his tragic murder," Amour wrote. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "The local art gallery is currently hosting an exhibit imagining his life if he hadn't been lynched. While it’s incumbent on the WNBA to do more to protect its players, there also should be an expectation on Clark ...

The drama that shadowed coach Mike Vrabel during the offseason due to his relationship with NFL reporter Dianna Russini was nowhere to be seen Friday when New England Patriots players reported for training camp. Vrabel must feel he's not only survived but surmounted the ongoing nature of the saga because, well, the thing is not a public topic now as his team gets ready for its first practice on Saturday. PATRIOTS COACH MIKE VRABEL BREAKS SILENCE ON DIANNA RUSSINI PHOTOS THAT LED TO 'DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS' Vrabel, in his second year as the Patriots coach, met with reporters for more than 14 minutes on Friday to kick off the start of camp. And he fielded not one question about the Russini scandal or anything connected to it. It was all football – which Vrabel deftly handles like Ted Williams did fastballs back in the day. Vrabel was asked about the status of second-round draft pick Gabe Jacas, who remains unsigned. Reporters indeed concentrated six of their 20 or so quest...

It's a little late in July for a fireworks mishap — those are typically centered around the Fourth of July weekend festivities — but a minor league baseball team's pyro display went sideways in the most literal way imaginable on Thursday. The Richmond Flying Squirrels — Double-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants — were hosting a fireworks display on Thursday night after their 3-1 loss to the Hartford Yard Goats. I think there's a compelling case for benching pre-planned fireworks if you lose, but that's for another time. Despite the L, the Flying Squirrels went ahead with their display over CarMax Park, and the aftermath has been making the rounds on social media. CANADIAN POLICE POLITELY ASK PEOPLE TO STOP BRINGING THEM UNEXPLODED WWII GRENADES Now, most importantly, no one was hurt, which is, personally, how I like my fireworks mishaps. If we're going to have them, let's keep it safe. Sometimes I see videos of fireworks mishaps , and it can be a little h...

CNN and SiriusXM host Michael Smerconish acknowledged Wednesday on "The Michael Smerconish Program" that he could no longer claim noncitizen voting never occurred after New Jersey disclosed that a software error improperly registered roughly 6,600 noncitizens and fewer than 400 cast ballots. "I can’t say that any longer," Smerconish said . "I don’t know how often it does happen, but I can’t say any longer, ‘This never happens.’" Smerconish said he had previously reached the opposite conclusion after discussing a January New York Times analysis titled "Initial Review Finds No Widespread Illegal Voting by Migrants, Puncturing a Trump Claim." The analysis found no evidence of widespread fraud but noted that noncitizens sometimes appeared on voter rolls. Smerconish said the New Jersey disclosure would give President Donald Trump and his allies a lasting response when opponents disputed that noncitizen voting occurred. GOP ERUPTS OVER 6,600 NONCITI...

The fight over President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act has moved from squabbles within the GOP to the top Senate Republican and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt publicly sniping at one another. Leavitt suggested on Thursday that Trump’s patience was wearing thin with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., over his flagship election security legislation. "His patience is running out. He wants to see as much of the Save America [Act] passed as possible by the August recess," Leavitt said of the heavy-handed president. "He knows that's what the American people want to see passed." REPUBLICAN SAYS TRUMP'S TOP ELECTION PRIORITY 'DEAD' IN SENATE AS GOP FRACTURES AHEAD OF MIDTERMS "And I would just add, you know, the American people … elected overwhelmingly Republicans to lead not just this White House, but also the House and the Senate," she continued. "The House did its job. The Senate needs to do its job, too." But...
