An image of an email: Subject line: This is a real request - sent gift to wrong email email body: Hello - I made a huge mistake when I bought my sister tickets to a college football game for tomorrow Dec 29. I accidentally had the confirmation and tickets sent to this email address instead of hers ([redacted]@gmail.com). Could you please look and see if you have emails from SeatGeek and/or Ticketmaster about tickets for the Pinstripe bowl at Yankee Stadium? SeatGeek is telling me they can’t RE-send the tickets to her correct account so I’m trying everything I can think of to get them to her. If you have those emails/tickets, could you please let me know? And maybe you can transfer them to my sister if you have a active Ticketmaster account? It’s getting so close to the game and I’m hoping I can figure this out for her big gift.

A quote from a news story about Brian Kohberger, convicted killer: “He is smart enough that in four years we will have to give him a Ph.D.,” the woman told her colleagues, according to the report from Idaho State Police Detective Ryan O’Harra. She continued, “Mark my word, I work with predators, if we give him a Ph.D., that’s the guy that in in that many years when he is a professor, we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing ... his students at wherever university.”

A post from reddit with a picture of an owl looking at the camera in a tree without leaves against a dark sky: PSA: Owl Attack on the Libba Cotten Bikeway Was out for a run this evening and got attacked by an owl on the Libba Cotten Bikeway. It came out of nowhere and clawed the back of my head at first (I've got some nice scratches on my scalp now), then came for me a few more times as I was trying to get away. Attempting to scare off the bird before making my getaway was a total failure. The stupid bird even managed to steal my hat :( Needless to say, I'm posting this to warn runners, bikers, and walkers who use that route after dusk...I've included a photo I got of the avian culprit. A cursory search brought up a few articles in various local new sources mentioning barred owl attacks in Chapel Hill and Carrboro over the past few years, but none mentioning the bikeway.

On 10/12/2021 at approximately 9:15 pm, a telephone interview was conducted with MD #1. MD #1 stated that "I did not use the ISP kit as I can not spend two hours in a room with one patient. I did not know that children are to go to Springfield. I thought I could not transfer the child out, and I felt compelled to do the exam. The father's DNA will be on the child anyway. We have never done a full forensic kit on children."
