Betrayal, Burglars, and Brutal Weather Batter the East Coast

A Virginia woman was strangled to death days after breaking up with her boyfriend, according to CBS News. Katlyn Lyon Montgomery was found unconscious in her apartment after her roommate, Jacob Piercy, called 911 when Montgomery's daughter, Milani, alerted him that something was wrong. First responders initially suspected a drug overdose, but medical staff noticed injuries on Montgomery's head and neck when she arrived at the hospital on October 7, 2022. Lead investigator Robbie Burnette with Virginia's Bedford County Sheriff's Office determined that Montgomery had been murdered. The case will be featured on "48 Hours" on CBS and streaming on Paramount on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 10/9c, according to CBS News. The episode is titled "The Sneak Attack on Katlyn Lyon."

In other news, a documentary titled "Melania," detailing the 20 days before Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration, earned $8 million at the box office in its opening weekend, according to Fox News. This marks the best documentary debut in over a decade. The film is expected to finish third behind "Iron Lung" and "Send Help," but ahead of "Shelter," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Amazon reportedly paid $75 million for the distribution rights.

Meanwhile, California authorities are warning residents about burglars using hidden, camouflaged surveillance cameras to monitor homes before striking, according to Fox News. The San José Police Department responded to a neighborhood on the east side of the city on Thursday after a homeowner discovered a camouflaged camera hidden in the bushes outside their home. Retired LAPD lieutenant Jeff Wenninger explained to Fox News how criminals exploit routines and public clues to time home break-ins.

The East Coast is also grappling with severe weather, as a "bomb cyclone" brought blizzard-like conditions and frigid temperatures, according to CBS News. Tens of thousands of homes and businesses remained without power after a previous icy storm that was blamed for dozens of weather-related deaths. Some areas unaccustomed to snow were bracing for several inches, with subfreezing weather forecast into February. Heavy snow was expected in the Carolinas, Virginia, and northeast Georgia, with up to a foot possible in parts of North Carolina. Every county in the Carolinas was under a winter storm warning through Sunday, according to CBS News.
