Beneath it were some unwashed bowls in the sink, an uneaten bag of popcorn and a stick of butter.IDAHO MURDERS BODYCAM FOOTAGE SHOWS SURVIVING ROOMMATE'S CHILLING ACCOUNTPolice found the refrigerator fully stocked and the dishwasher loaded. They marked a single cigarette butt outside the back door and found an undeveloped disposable Kodak camera.Several photos show handprints on the windows, but those are not believed to have been useful to investigators, who eventually found the suspect with the help of investigative genetic genealogy techniques that traced a DNA sample left on a knife sheath recovered from the scene, to generate a tip that led to the killer.See the photos:Bryan Kohberger, 30, is now serving four consecutive life sentences without parole, plus another 10 years, for the murders he committed inside.Around 4 a.m. on Nov. 13, 2022, he entered the house with a large knife and killed four of the six students inside. The victims were Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. Three of them were attacked in their sleep and killed in bed.COURT BLOCKS IDAHO POLICE FROM RELEASING MORE MURDER VICTIM BEDROOM FOOTAGE AND MATERIALSThe photos do not include any taken inside the victims' bedrooms. A judge in Moscow, Idaho, issued a temporary injunction barring the release of pictures that could violate the victims' privacy as their parents grapple with the impact of public records requests.Kohberger pleaded guilty in July, weeks before he would have gone to trial and potentially faced the death penalty. As part of the plea deal, he agreed to waive his rights to appeal and to seek a future sentence reduction under Idaho law.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe plea also prompted Judge Steven Hippler, who was overseeing the case after the defense argued for a change of venue from Latah County to Boise, to lift a longstanding gag order, paving the way for the release of photos and other evidence.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris addressed her bungled answer from a 2024 interview on "The View" during Tuesday's edition of the ABC talk show about her new book, "107 Days.""The book is about a reflection, and that day and that interview for me, really was symbolic of the issue," Harris said, telling the co-hosts she thought the differences between her and former President Joe Biden were "obvious."Co-host Sunny Hostin asked Harris during the October 2024 interview if there was anything she would have done differently from Biden throughout their term together. Harris responded at the time, "Not a thing comes to mind," which appeared to cement the perception that she wasnt a change candidate."Hostin pressed Harris again Tuesday, asking about her differences with Biden. The former VP admitted she knew her close ties to the president would become an issue.KAMALA HARRIS AIDE URGED 'THE VIEW' HOSTS TO ASK AGAIN AFTER VP FLUBBED QUESTION ON DIFFERENCES WITH BIDEN"In the moment, I knew," Hostin told Harris, referencing her question posed to the former vice president. "The Trump campaign weaponized your answer against you, my question, and some, including James Carville and Jake Tapper, point to that answer as a turning point in your candidacy."Hostin asked Harris if she believed the moment tipped the election."No, no," Harris said as co-host Joy Behar chimed in, "Good, because Sunny doesn't want to take the blame."Harris said during the interview that she didn't fully appreciate how significant an issue her closeness to Biden was during the election cycle. She believed during the campaign she often pointed out the differences between her and Biden without seeming disloyal.KAMALA HARRIS BREAKS SILENCE ON BIDEN DROPOUT, ADMITS SHE HAS REGRETS ABOUT HER HANDLING OF SITUATIONHostin added, "That President Biden was deeply unpopular, I did realize that."Her response to Hostin's question at the time went viral for the wrong reasons. It appeared in ads for President Donald Trump and was widely viewed as a damaging moment for her candidacy.The former vice president also addressed the moment in her book and wrote she had no idea she "pulled the pin on a hand grenade" in her answer to Hostin's question.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"Stationed at various places around the set, my staff were beside themselves. Political operatives have an eye to see a moment, and I could kick myself for giving the other side that moment. During the commercial break, while I was having a bit of fun with some young students Id noticed in the audience who were obviously playing hooky, offering to write notes to their teachers after the show, Opal [Vadhan] passed me a note from our team, telling me to return to that question and mention that a big difference would be that I would put a Republican in my cabinet," she wrote.However, Harris acknowledged the damage had already been done.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) captured two illegal immigrants who escaped custody after allegedly choking a female Border Patrol agent.Juan Carmen Pardon Mendez, 29, and Juan Carlos Padron Barron, 23, both from Mexico, have been "taken back into custody and will be criminally prosecuted to the fullest extent allowed under the law," according to ICEs Houston office.ICE said both men "escaped from custody on Sept. 22 in Conroe, Texas, after one of them was able to get out of [his] restraints and choked a female Border Patrol agent who was transferring them to the Montgomery Processing Center.""It is sickening that another law enforcement officer has been needlessly harmed as a direct result of the continued demonization of legitimate law enforcement activities by political leaders and certain members of the media," ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations acting Field Office Director Gabriel Martinez said in a statement.MASSIVE ICE OPERATION NETS GANG MEMBERS, MURDERERS, CHILD PREDATORS: 'WREAKED HAVOC'"Every time they label the brave men and women who work for ICE, CBP, or Border Patrol as Nazis or bounty hunters, they might as well paint a bright target on their backs because attacks like this are inevitable and will continue to occur," he added.Both suspects were captured Tuesday with help from law enforcement partners, ICE said.HOMELAND SECURITY RELEASES POKEMON-THEMED VIDEO TO HIGHLIGHT IMMIGRATION ARRESTSThey initially were detained "during an ICE-led multi-agency enforcement operation targeting violent criminal aliens and egregious immigration offenders near Spring, Texas," according to the agency."Padron Barron has illegally entered the U.S. at least three times and was previously expelled on Dec. 13, 2022, and Jan. 1, 2023," ICE also said. "This is the first time that U.S. immigration officials have encountered Padron Mendez."ICE added that the operations that resulted in the initial arrests of both men "are part of the current administrations focus on restoring public safety by targeting the worst of the worst illegal aliens and have resulted in historic numbers of transnational gang members and dangerous child predators being removed from local communities throughout Southeast Texas."

AI has become a part of all walks of life, and that includes fantasy football.As the NFLs popularity has grown, so has football fans' desire to play fantasy football and run their own teams. Super Bowl champion Nick Foles told Fox News Digital that AI has helped him get into fantasy football in his post-playing career."(AI has) intrigued me to actually do fantasy football because now I have all the information. Im at the beginning stages, so you get to see the genesis of me starting to play fantasy football because of this," Foles told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"So Im actually at the beginning stages like a newbie out there, but it intrigued me that they have this WatsonX AI in it to make these decisions because, beforehand, Im like I dont have time to research all these players to build a fantasy team, but now with it, it allows that."Foles compared using AI in fantasy football to how an NFL general manager has different departments that acquire information for him."You are the general manager of your own fantasy football team, but beforehand you didnt have information a general manager has, like Howie Roseman for the Philadelphia Eagles. He has this entire staff that the Eagles are paying that does sports analytics, free agents, rookies, whatever it may be," Foles said.RAVENS' DERRICK HENRY SLAMS HELMET, FLAILS ON BENCH FOLLOWING COSTLY FUMBLE VS LIONSThe ESPN Fantasy Football App has more than 12 million players, and Foles said the IBM features within the app makes it a more enjoyable process."But it makes it a more enjoyable process with more information to where hopefully you make better decisions and you have a great outcome. But as we know in football injuries happen, different things happen, offenses change, defenses change, but I think its an amazing tool to help the users make better decisions and learn more about the game honestly," Foles said.The new AI models from IBM arm fantasy football players with information to help them buy low and sell high on players in trades, and predict which players might boom or bust depending on their matchup that week.Foles played 11 seasons in the NFL, and was named Super Bowl LII MVP for his incredible performance with the Eagles in their Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots. The one-time Pro Bowler played five seasons with the Eagles (two different stints), one season with the then-St. Louis Rams, one with the Kansas City Chiefs, two with the Chicago Bears, one with the Jacksonville Jaguars and one with the Indianapolis Colts.Across 71 games (58 starts), Foles had a 29-29 record with a career completion percentage of 62.4%, throwing for 14,227 yards and 82 touchdowns with 47 interceptions.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been on "constant suicide watch" following his July conviction, according to his attorneys.In the disgraced music mogul's most recent demand for prison release, Diddy's lawyers claimed he has faced "inhumane" living conditions at MDC Brooklyn. His legal team proposed a 14-month sentence ahead of his Oct. 3 hearing for federal charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. The "I Need A Girl" rapper has already spent 13 months behind bars.Diddy's legal team claimed the musician had been "sufficiently punished" for his crimes."Mr. Combs has suffered physically and mentally, and continued incarceration serves no positive goal. Courts do not simply punish, but must restore and rehabilitate with a goal to returning the convicted person to their community as soon as practicable," the sentencing memorandum, obtained by Fox News Digital, stated. "Upon release, Mr. Combs fully intends to abide by every order of this Court and to renew and repair relationships that have been damaged, in a healthy, positive, and lawful manner. After embarking on this journey, Mr. Combs will devote attention to his family and community and to creating new initiatives and opportunities for others."DIDDY COULD FACE SUBSTANTIAL PRISON TIME AFTER GUILTY VERDICT, WARNS OJ SIMPSON'S LAWYERLawyers for Diddy also argued the sentencing guidelines should not apply in his case, claiming they "do not adequately consider the pervasive violence and inhumane conditions of confinement that Mr. Combs has experienced at MDC."According to the filing, "The consequences of Mr. Combss detention at MDC for the past year has further included:Fox News Digital reached out to MDC Brooklyn for comment.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

One they all as grown adults had a right to choose," the rapper's petition for release, obtained by Fox News Digital, read. "Like many aspects of sex and intimacy, it was not without its complications, its bouts of jealousy, and, at times, its frustrations.

Surveillance video was released in May 2024, showing the rapper physically assaulting his then-girlfriend in the elevator lobby.WATCH: SEAN DIDDY COMBS ASSAULTS EX-GIRLFRIEND CASSIE VENTURA IN HOTEL VIDEOAccording to the judge, there would be no way to guarantee the safety of others should the musician be released.Diddy could spend a maximum of 20 years behind bars, 10 years for each count he was convicted of.

A Pokmon-themed video released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to highlight immigration arrests is going viral.The clip, as of midday Tuesday, has more than 37 million views on X. The video shows federal law enforcement taking suspects into custody on American soil as the theme song for the hit TV show plays in the background."I will travel across the land, searching far and wide," a voice sings in the video as men are seen being placed in handcuffs.The Pokmon Company and Nintendo did not immediately respond Tuesday to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.CALIFORNIA ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WITH 49 PRIOR ARRESTS TOPS ICES WORST-OF-THE-WORST LIST"Gotta Catch Em All," the Department of Homeland Security wrote in a caption alongside the clip.The video ends with a showcase of U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcements "Worst of the Worst," with those captured being displayed as Pokmon cards.SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTS AFTER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SCREAMS DURING VIRAL DC ARREST: 'WHAT I VOTED FOR'Among those featured on the mocked-up cards were Nery Garcia Linares, a 32-year-old alleged sexual predator from Guatemala who was arrested by ICE Newark on Sept.18, and Moises Lopez-Zepeda, whom DHS described as 44-year-old "criminal alien" from Mexico who was taken into custody by ICE Houston on Sept. 19.Lopez-Zepeda previously was "convicted of intoxicated manslaughter with a vehicle in Rockwall County, Texas, and was sentenced to 12 years in prison," according to DHS.Both cards have a snowflake symbol apparently representing ICE to indicate their weakness.

Social media makes it easy to connect with people, but it also makes it just as easy for fraudsters to pretend they are someone they are not. Fake accounts, misleading checkmarks and smooth-talking profiles are everywhere, and not everyone knows how to spot them. I recently received an email from Marie from Boynton Beach, Florida, with a similar concern:"I have been on X, and it seems quite a few people turn out to be not who they say they are. Mostly the ones that are verified. I am not that good tech-wise. Is there a way other than me knowing immediately they are a fraud?? Thank God I am not the type to give personal information or money."It is a fair concern, Marie. With scams becoming more polished, the line between real and fake accounts is harder to see. Let's break down why fraud is so common on social media, the red flags you should look out for, and the simple habits that can keep you from getting duped.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

Anyone can create an account in minutes, post content instantly and connect with strangers worldwide. This openness is what makes social media engaging, but it is also what makes it ripe for abuse. Fraudsters exploit the fact that posts, comments and messages are consumed quickly and often without much scrutiny.Verification systems that were once meant to help users identify legitimate accounts have also lost some of their power. On platforms where checkmarks can be purchased, scammers can buy credibility without earning it. Add in the algorithms that reward viral content and sudden spikes in engagement, and you get the perfect environment for fraud to spread unnoticed.Scammers know people often lower their guard on social media. In these spaces, users share personal details, build emotional ties with influencers and trust posts that look familiar. As a result, the combination of speed, trust and visibility creates an ideal environment for fraud to spread rapidly.META DELETES 10 MILLION FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS THIS YEAR, BUT WHY?When people think of scams, they often imagine losing a one-time sum of money. The reality is far more damaging. Clicking a bad link or handing over credentials can snowball into long-term consequences. Once scammers get access to your information, it can be sold on dark web marketplaces, used to open fraudulent accounts or leveraged for identity theft.There is also the reputational cost. If your social media account is hijacked, scammers can use it to trick your friends, family or followers, spreading fraud even further under your name. Cleaning up that mess can take weeks and may permanently damage your credibility.There are simple ways to protect yourself without needing technical expertise. I have listed some of the crucial steps below.Fake accounts often have clear giveaways. Look at how long the account has existed, whether it posts original content and the kind of followers it has. Scammers usually recycle generic profile photos or steal images from real people. Reverse image searches can help you confirm if a photo belongs to someone else.Even with verification, be skeptical. On platforms where checkmarks can be purchased, anyone can appear "official" without being trustworthy. Treat every new interaction with caution until proven otherwise.FACEBOOK CRYPTO ADS LEAD TO DANGEROUS MALWARE SCAMSFraudsters often send links over DMs, comments or even ads. These links may lead to phishing sites designed to steal your credentials or malware that installs silently on your device. One careless click can expose your information.This is where having strong antivirus software comes in. Even if you accidentally land on a malicious site, a strong antivirus can block harmful downloads and warn you before malware runs. Think of it as a safety net for moments when curiosity gets the better of you.The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have strong antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe.Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices atCyberguy.com/.Phishing scams frequently mimic login screens for X, Instagram or Facebook. They are designed to trick you into typing your username and password into a fake form. Once you do, the scammer immediately takes over your account.A password manager can be a lifesaver here. It only fills in your login details on the genuine site you have saved. If it does not recognize the page, that is a red flag that you are looking at a fake. On top of that, a password manager makes it easier to use strong, unique passwords for each account, which limits damage if one gets compromised.Next, see if your email has been exposed in past breaches. Our No. 1 password manager pick includes a built-in breach scanner that checks whether your email address or passwords have appeared in known leaks. If you discover a match, immediately change any reused passwords and secure those accounts with new, unique credentials.Check out the best expert-reviewed password managers of 2025 atCyberguy.com/.The less information fraudsters can find about you, the weaker their scams become. Many impersonators use details like your hometown, job or relatives to build trust. If your email, phone number or address is floating around the web, scammers can weaponize that too.A personal data removal service can help here by scrubbing your details from people-search sites and data brokers. While not foolproof, reducing your digital footprint makes you a harder target for impersonation or social engineering scams. They arent cheap, and neither is your privacy. These services do all the work for you by actively monitoring and systematically erasing your personal information from hundreds of websites. Its what gives me peace of mind and has proven to be the most effective way to erase your personal data from the internet. By limiting the information available, you reduce the risk of scammers cross-referencing data from breaches with information they might find on the dark web, making it harder for them to target you.Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visitingCyberguy.com.Get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web:Cyberguy.com/.SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION PHISHING SCAM TARGETS RETIREESFraudsters often pretend to be well-known figures, influencers or even customer support staff. They use urgency like "limited offer," "you have won," or "your account will be closed" to pressure you into responding fast.When money, gift cards or personal details are involved, slow down. Contact the real brand or person through official channels to verify. If you are unsure, simply ignore the request.One of the strongest defenses you have is your gut feeling. If a verified profile is asking for money, if a giveaway sounds too good to be true or if someone's tone feels off, it probably is. Scammers rely on you ignoring that little voice that says something is not right.Take a breath, pause and think before you act. That moment of hesitation often makes the difference between staying safe and becoming a victim.Social media can be entertaining, informative and even empowering, but it is also one of the easiest hunting grounds for fraudsters. They thrive on speed, trust and distraction, hoping you will react before you think. While no tool or habit can guarantee absolute safety, combining skepticism with smart protective steps puts you in a much stronger position.Do you think paid verification badges make it harder to spot scammers?
