With few new leads 45 days after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, investigation “becomes much harder,” expert says

Nancy Guthrie has been missing for 45 days, and with the latest update in the case being of little use to authorities, one expert tells CBS News the extended timeline means it “becomes much harder to keep the investigation going.”

Law enforcement sources told CBS News that additional images were obtained in the last couple of weeks from surveillance cameras installed at Guthrie’s Tucson home, where she is believed to have been abducted from in the middle of the night on Feb. 1.

The images, taken from a camera fastened to a fence and focused on the back of the house and another that showed the driveway and front of the garage door, captured family members, landscapers and pool workers stretching back weeks prior to the kidnapping. Nothing was deemed suspicious, and no images reviewed showed the suspect captured on the front door camera.

In the seventh week of the investigation into the disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, doorbell camera video shared by the FBI on Feb. 10 remains the only known images of the suspect.

Lance Leising, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, told CBS News it all points to “a lack of meaningful leads. That’s the initial thing it says to me.”

“It becomes much harder to keep the investigation going, keep it current and fight for new leads,” he added.

DNA recovered from the scene is still being analyzed, with investigators turning to forensic genetic genealogy in hopes of breaking the case open. It’s a technique that’s been used in the past to find other high-profile criminals, including Bryan Kohberger, the man who killed four University of Idaho students in 2022.

Leising warned, however, that the process “takes a while.”

“Maybe you’ve got multiple people within the same DNA family that could potentially be suspects. You have to investigate each one of those independently,” he said.

Authorities also continue to receive tips, with over 1,500 potential leads coming into the FBI after the Guthrie family announced a $1 million reward. But it’s been nearly three weeks since the family last called on the public for help and more than a month since law enforcement held a news conference to discuss the case.

“I’d like to be hopeful that — and I’m sure the family is incredibly hopeful — that the silence is because they’re on to something,” Leising said. “They just need to investigate harder.”

泽连斯基英国议会讲话 表明乌克兰愿意分享实战经验

2026年3月18日 11:24 / 联合早报

1 killed, another injured in shooting at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico

March 17, 2026 / 10:49 PM EDT / CBS/AP

One person was killed and another was wounded in a shooting at a U.S. Air Force base in New Mexico on Tuesday, according to military officials.

The Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, in southern New Mexico, was put on lockdown at about 5:30 p.m. due to reports of an active shooter, according to a statement released by the Holloman Air Force Base. The person who was wounded has been taken for medical treatment.

Security officials confirmed the base is safe and the lockdown has been lifted.

“Emergency personnel are responding to the situation and there is no threat at this time,” the statement reads.

Officials have not released the identities of those shot or any further details about the shooting.

The roughly 93-square-mile base houses the 49th Wing, which supports national security work and includes combat-ready airmen and guardians, according to its website.

Democrat Patty García gains party’s nomination after controversial last-minute dropout by incumbent

A controversial move allowed García to run unopposed in the Democratic primary for Illinois Congressional District 4

Democrat Patty García secured her party’s nomination for Illinois’ 4th Congressional District after a controversial last-minute decision by her former boss, incumbent Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García, not to seek re-election allowed her to run unopposed.

A heavily Hispanic district situated in Chicago and its suburbs, Illinois’ 4th Congressional District is considered one of the deepest-blue House districts in the country, giving García a marked advantage in the November general election.

After serving on Rep. García’s staff since his 2019 election, she is widely considered his handpicked successor. The two are not related. Rep. García sparked controversy last fall when he announced he would not seek re-election two days after the filing deadline had passed. The maneuver left only García on the ballot, forcing progressive candidates Byron Sigcho-Lopez and Mayra Macías to run as independents.

Critics called the maneuver an unfair attempt by Rep. García to tip the scales in his district’s next election. The House later passed a resolution of disapproval against him, led by fellow Democrat Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash. Nearly two dozen House Democrats defied Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., to vote in favor of the rebuke.

The measure passed 236 to 183, with 23 Democrats joining Republicans to rebuke Rep. García. Four lawmakers voted “present” — Reps. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., and Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio.

García is a Chicago native and longtime Democratic political strategist who has served as Rep. García’s chief of staff since 2023. She is running on a progressive platform that closely mirrors her boss’s priorities and is pro-union and a staunch opponent of President Donald Trump.

Her campaign website states that immigration enforcement is “being used to terrorize working-class communities.” She has pledged to work to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with her website stating, “Patty has confronted abusive tactics head-on and will fight for dignity, due process, and to abolish ICE so families can live without fear.”

The general election in District 4 will be a clash among progressives. Sigcho-Lopez is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, a socialist political group that has seen a resurgence in American politics with the election of figures such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Meanwhile, Macías states on her campaign website that she is running for Congress “because everything she has fought for is being rolled back and the community that raised her is being directly targeted by the Trump Administration.”

澳洲驻阿联酋基地遭伊朗发射物袭击 无人员伤亡

发布/2026年3月18日 11:43 / 联合早报

澳大利亚驻阿拉伯联合酋长国空军基地星期三（3月18日）遭一枚伊朗发射物袭击，无人在袭击中伤亡。

法新社报道，遭袭击地点是澳洲驻阿联酋明哈德空军基地（Al Minhad Air Base）。澳洲总理阿尔巴尼斯说：“我确定没有澳洲人员受伤，所有人都很安全。”

明哈德空军基地基地此前曾遭伊朗无人机袭击。阿尔巴尼斯说，没有迹象表明伊朗故意针对澳洲发动袭击。

事发于悉尼时间18日上午9时15分（新加坡时间18日清晨6时15分）。

阿尔巴尼斯对媒体说：“发射物击中通往空军基地的一条道路，引发小规模火灾，一栋宿舍楼和一处医疗设施轻微受损。”

明哈德空军基地位于迪拜以南24公里处，自2003年以来一直是澳洲军队驻地，也是澳洲在中东地区开展军事行动的主要枢纽。澳洲军方说，这个基地最多驻有80名澳洲军人。

黄仁勋：英伟达重启生产面向中国市场的H200晶片

2026年3月18日 09:21 / 联合早报

英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋披露，公司加速启动面向中国客户的H200人工智能晶片生产，显示英伟达重返中国这一关键市场取得新进展。

据彭博社报道，黄仁勋星期二（3月17日）在美国加州圣何塞举行的一场新闻发布会上说，英伟达已获得“许多中国客户”的H200销售许可，目前正“重启生产”。他指出，情况较数周前已明显改善，“我们的供应链正在被重新激活”。

此前受美国出口限制影响，英伟达人工智能晶片在中国市场几乎被封锁，公司一直寻求恢复销售，超威半导体等同行也面临类似处境。特朗普政府近期已开始允许企业向中国出口性能较低版本芯片，但仍需逐案审批。

尽管英伟达去年12月已获美国总统特朗普批准，可向中国客户销售H200，但相关业务尚未贡献收入。同时，美国监管层设置的多重限制拖慢审批进度，全面恢复自由销售的可能性仍然不大。

据悉，H200对华出口需要接受美国方面的审查，并被征收25%关税；监管机构还考虑对单一客户采购量设限，最多7.5万枚晶片，总出货量或控制在100万枚以内。

中国市场曾贡献英伟达约四分之一营收，如今占比已大幅下降。尽管全球需求依然强劲，但作为全球最大的单一半导体市场之一，中国对英伟达的长期增长仍具有重要意义。

Venezuela defeats U.S. 3-2 for first World Baseball Classic title

Updated on: March 17, 2026 / 11:20 PM EDT / CBS News

Venezuela stunned the United States in the World Baseball Classic final, beating the Americans 3-2 for the country’s first WBC title.

Maikel Garcia got Venezuela on the board with a sacrifice fly that scored Salvador Perez in the top of the 3rd. Then Wilyer Abreu added another run with a solo shot in the 5th.

The U.S. bats, meanwhile, had been silenced until the bottom of the 8th, when Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper hit a game-tying two-run home run.

But a leadoff walk in the top of the 9th allowed Eugenio Suárez to knock in what would prove to be the winning run, smacking a double to left center field and scoring pinch runner Javier Sonoja.

Daniel Palencia struck out two in a perfect bottom half to finish a three-hitter and get his third save of the WBC, striking out Roman Anthony to end the game. Venezuelans ran onto the infield to celebrate as the Americans stared while leaning on their dugout railing.

Despite a heralded roster of stars led by Aaron Judge, Harper and Paul Skenes, the U.S. lost its second straight final of baseball’s premier international event and remained without a title since 2017. Judge was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in the championship game.

Ahead of a matchup with political overtones, players and coaches avoided discussing the government turmoil between the nations, heightened when the U.S. military captured Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro in January. The sellout crowd at LoanDepot Park was heavily pro-Venezuela, with some booing American players during the introductions.

Venezuela became the second Latin American nation to win the WBC, after the Dominican Republic in 2013. The U.S. took the title in 2017 and lost the 2023 final to three-time champion Japan on this same field.

While the U.S., Japan and the Dominican Republic got much of the attention ahead of the sixth edition of the 20-nation event, Venezuela’s success was not that surprising. Sixty-three players born in Venezuela appeared on Major League Baseball opening-day rosters last year, second-most from outside the U.S. behind the Dominican Republic’s 100.

Venezuela went ahead in the third inning against McLean, getting the start because Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers decided the two-time Cy Young Award winner would make only a first-round appearance.

Salvador Perez sliced a first-pitch single and Ronald Acuña Jr. walked with one out. The runners advanced when McLean bounced a curveball, and Garcia followed with a sac fly to center.

Abreu doubled the lead when he drove a fastball 414 feet to center. His helmet fell off when he rounded second and he hopped in excitement as he neared the plate, where he was greeted by a line of teammates.

Rodriguez allowed one hit in 4 1/3 innings before Venezuela turned to its bullpen.

U.S. players had arrived at LoanDepot Park in game-worn U.S. Olympic hockey jerseys coordinated by outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and Jack Hughes, who scored the gold medal-winning goal against Canada last month.

In a darkened ballpark filled by fans wearing wristbands with festive blinking lights, Judge and Arraez led the teams down the foul lines for the introductions while carrying their nation’s flags.

March 17 (Reuters) – A conservative legal activist won U.S. Senate approval Tuesday to become a federal judge in Louisiana, despite objections by Democrats and a former Fox News host over testimony she gave five years ago opposing a ​ban on mandatory arbitration for workplace sexual assault or harassment claims.

The Republican-led U.S. Senate voted 51-45 ‌to confirm Anna St. John, the president and general counsel of the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute, to a seat on the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Louisiana.

Republican President Donald Trump announced St. John’s nomination in a January social media post that touted ​her “strong record of tirelessly fighting to protect Free Speech, champion Religious Liberty, and keep men out of women’s ​sports.”

The New Orleans-based lawyer has worked since 2015 at legal activist Ted Frank’s Center for ⁠Class Action Fairness, now part of the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute, helping advance its campaign against class action settlements ​it says benefits lawyers while delivering little to no relief to consumers.

“She knows our Constitution like the back of ​her hand and has the smarts and experience to be a great, fair judge,” Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement on Tuesday.

Her nomination was opposed by Democrats including Senator Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on ​the Senate Judiciary Committee, who during a hearing earlier this month said her “record reflects a partisan ideology and raises ​serious questions about her ability to impartially administer justice.”

He pointed to opposition to her nomination from former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson, ‌who a decade ⁠ago filed a high-profile lawsuit accusing Roger Ailes, Fox News’ former chief executive, of sexual harassment. Ailes, who died in 2017, denied the claims.

Carlson in an opinion piece she co-wrote that was published online, opens new tab January 29 by the progressive group Alliance for Justice Action claimed that St. John while testifying before Congress had sought to “gaslight” women seeking to eradicate forced ​arbitration following the onset of ​the #MeToo movement.

The bipartisan Ending ⁠Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act was passed by Congress in 2022 and bans companies from forcing employees who allege sexual assault or harassment to settle their ​claims with an arbitrator without the option of filing a lawsuit.

St. John testified in ​November 2021 before ⁠the U.S. House of Representatives’ Judiciary Committee against the bill, saying in a written submission that arbitration can be a faster, less expensive way to resolve disputes, “even when serious harms such as sexual harassment and assault are at issue.”

Asked during a ⁠February 4 ​hearing about her testimony, St. John again defended arbitration, saying it “can be ​beneficial and that it can result, and often does result, in much higher recoveries for plaintiffs and sexual assault survivors.”

White House, after top counterterrorism official quits, says Trump had ‘strong’ evidence Iran would attack US

By Greg Norman-Diamond | Fox News
Published March 17, 2026 5:57pm EDT

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back Tuesday on “false claims” in the resignation letter of the nation’s top counterterrorism official, saying President Donald Trump had “strong and compelling evidence” that Iran was going to attack the United States first.

Joe Kent wrote on X earlier this morning that, “After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.” Kent said he could not in “good conscience” support the ongoing war with Iran, claiming that “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

“There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that ‘Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation,” Leavitt responded. “This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.”

“As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first,” she added.

Leavitt said, “This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors,” and, “President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.”

The press secretary said Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism – a sentiment that House lawmakers agreed with earlier this month when they passed a resolution containing the same language.

“The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury,” Leavitt continued.

“Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage,” she added. “The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal– nuclear weapons.”

Leavitt said the president “ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.”

She also slammed the “absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries,” calling Kent’s claim “insulting and laughable.”

“President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon,” Leavitt said. “As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period.America First.”
