At least three people died and six others were injured when a car crashed into a supermarket in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon, according to authorities. The incident occurred at a 99 Ranch Market in the Westwood neighborhood, where the vehicle became lodged inside the building, as reported by the Los Angeles Fire Department. In other news, the search for "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, continues into its second week, while the U.S. military struck its 39th alleged drug-carrying boat on Monday.
The victims of the supermarket crash were identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner as 42-year-old Deris Renoj, 52-year-old Leonel Mateo, and 28-year-old Zih Dao. 99 Ranch Market stated that the victims included two employees and a customer, and the store will remain closed for the immediate future. Aerial footage showed the vehicle inside the supermarket.
The search for Nancy Guthrie, who was reported missing on February 1st after not attending church, continues. Authorities believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Her family has pleaded for her return, and Savannah Guthrie has directly appealed to whoever may have taken her mother. The FBI is taking two emails seriously, including what appears to be a ransom note with a second deadline set for later on Monday, according to CBS News. Nancy Guthrie was last seen on Saturday night, January 31st. As a possible deadline passed for the family to pay a ransom, experts noted that law enforcement appeared uncertain if the demands were legitimate.
In other developments, the U.S. military struck a vessel allegedly involved in drug trafficking on Monday, killing two people and leaving one survivor. The military's Southern Command stated the vessel was operated by "Designated Terrorist Organizations." The U.S. Coast Guard was notified about a "person in distress," and the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center Ecuador is organizing a search-and-rescue effort.
Additionally, a former Palm Beach, Florida, police chief who investigated Jeffrey Epstein in the mid-2000s told the FBI that Donald Trump called him at the time to say, "thank goodness you're stopping him, everyone has known he's been doing this," according to an FBI account of an interview in 2019. Trump has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
