Betrayal, Burglars, and Blizzards Batter the East Coast

Here's a news article synthesizing the provided information:

Virginia Woman's Death Featured on "48 Hours" Amidst East Coast Weather Woes and Documentary Success

A new episode of the CBS true crime show "48 Hours" was set to air Saturday, January 31, 2026, focusing on the murder of Katlyn Lyon Montgomery, a Virginia woman who was strangled days after ending a relationship. The episode, titled "The Sneak Attack on Katlyn Lyon," was scheduled to air at 10/9c on CBS and stream on Paramount, according to CBS News. The broadcast coincided with a powerful storm impacting the East Coast and the successful opening of a documentary about Melania Trump.

Montgomery was found unconscious in her apartment after her daughter, Milani, alerted her roommate, Jacob Piercy, that something was wrong, CBS News reported. First responders initially suspected a drug overdose, but investigators later determined she had been murdered. Medical staff at the hospital noticed injuries on her head and neck when she arrived in the early morning hours of October 7, 2022. Robbie Burnette with Virginia's Bedford County Sheriff's Office was the lead investigator on the case.

The airing of "48 Hours" occurred as the East Coast was grappling with severe weather. A "bomb cyclone" brought blizzard-like conditions and heavy snow to the Southeast, ushering in frigid temperatures across much of the East Coast, CBS News stated. Tens of thousands of homes and businesses remained without power after a previous icy storm, which was blamed for dozens of weather-related deaths. Subfreezing weather was forecast into February, with heavy snow expected in the Carolinas, Virginia, and northeast Georgia. Every county in the Carolinas was under a winter storm warning through Sunday, CBS News reported.

In other news, the documentary "Melania," which details the 20 days before Donald Trump's second presidential term, earned $8 million at the box office during its opening weekend, Fox News reported. This marked the best documentary debut in over a decade. The film was 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, in California, authorities were warning residents about burglars using hidden, camouflaged surveillance cameras to monitor homes before striking, Fox News reported. The San José Police Department responded to a neighborhood on Thursday after a homeowner discovered a camera hidden in the bushes outside their home. Retired LAPD lieutenant Jeff Wenninger explained how criminals exploit routines and public clues to time home break-ins.

Russia's focus on Donetsk stems from its symbolic importance in Moscow's efforts to annex the predominantly Russian-speaking Donbas region and its potential to bolster Putin's narrative of victory.

Bioelectricity Sparks Cell Decisions; Gaza Braces for Peace

Multiple news sources report that cells throughout the body, not just in the brain, use bioelectricity to communicate and make decisions, particularly in a process called extrusion where unhealthy cells are ejected from tissue to maintain overall health. This process, vital for preventing diseases like cancer and asthma, is triggered by changes in electrical current flowing through cell membranes as tissue grows and cells become more tightly packed.
