Authorities are investigating a cross-state murder spree in Florida that left six people dead and a suspect also deceased, while the FBI continues its search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, who was allegedly abducted from her Tucson, Arizona home. Additionally, newly released documents shed light on the FBI's handling of surveillance footage related to Jeffrey Epstein's death, and U.S. Olympic skier Breezy Johnson is making plans for her broken and repaired gold medal.
In Florida, a series of connected murders unfolded across two cities. The Fort Lauderdale Police Department responded to a well-being check on the 500 block of Northeast 15th Avenue, where they found Larisa Blyudaya, 46, and Ben Azivov, 18, dead in their home, according to CBS News. The murder spree then continued to a gated community in Sarasota County, approximately 200 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale. The suspect was also found dead, authorities said.
Meanwhile, the FBI is actively searching for Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing since February 1. Over 4,000 calls have been made to a tip line in the last 24 hours, according to officials. The FBI is conducting an "extensive search" along roadways in Tucson, where Guthrie lives. A man who was detained in connection with the investigation was released and told reporters, "I didn't do anything. ... I'm innocent." Authorities believe she was abducted from her home in the middle of the night. The FBI released images and video of a person in a ski mask and gloves at Guthrie's door. Sources said the man detained was under surveillance before the images were released, according to ABC News.
In other news, newly released documents revealed the FBI's struggle to explain a missing minute from surveillance footage of Jeffrey Epstein's final hours in a Manhattan jail. The discrepancy fueled conspiracy theories, especially after then-Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino promised the agency would release the original footage, according to CBS News. The agency has never publicly explained how the video ended up with a gap. The FBI had already destroyed its master copy of the surveillance video.
Finally, U.S. Olympic skier Breezy Johnson is making plans for her gold medal after it broke. Johnson won the medal in the women's downhill event at the 2026 Winter Games in Italy. She told CBS News that she was "a little disappointed" that Olympic medal winners had to be careful about celebrating too enthusiastically. Johnson said she plans to keep her fixed original medal and trade in the replacement. She also plans to knit a special pouch to keep it safe, stating, "I am an avid knitter."
