Johnson: Allegations Against Gonzales Are Being Sorted Out

DNA at Guthrie home may offer limited clues, sources say

DNA recovered from Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home is described as low-level and may not yield a clean, usable profile for comparison in FBI or private databases; investigators say enhancement is possible but could take longer. A Florida lab is analyzing the samples as the case remains unresolved, with no suspects named. A DNA profile from gloves found near the home did not match the FBI’s CODIS. Authorities are turning to genetic genealogy via GEDmatch Pro and FamilyTreeDNA, both using opt-in consent. Rewards total up to $1 million for information, in addition to a $100,000 FBI reward.

NASA Declares Boeing Starliner Failure a Maximum-Level Mishap, Tightens Oversight

NASA has officially classified the Boeing Starliner’s 2024 failure as a Type A (maximum-level) mishap, signaling potential hundreds of millions in damage and the risk of losing a vehicle or the ISS. The incident involved thruster faults on approach to the ISS, leaving astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore on the station for nine months. A 312-page report blames design compromises, inadequate hardware qualifications, and weak oversight of subcontractors, and NASA pledges much stricter scrutiny with no launches until fixes are verified, while pursuing diversification away from SpaceX. The exact thruster failure mode remains under investigation.
