A series of unrelated events, ranging from a decades-old cold case to the temporary depletion of condoms at the Milan Cortina Olympics, dominated the news cycle this week. Other stories included a high-profile interview and the ongoing search for a missing woman.
In Wahoo, Nebraska, the 1969 murder of 17-year-old Mary Kay Heese, who was found beaten and stabbed to death, was revisited in a "48 Hours" segment on CBS. According to CBS News, Heese disappeared on March 25, 1969, after leaving school. A witness reported seeing her get into a car with two men. The case remained unsolved for decades. A new investigation began in 2015.
Meanwhile, the Italian organizing committee for the Milan Cortina Olympics addressed a shortage of condoms in the athlete villages. According to CBS News, the supply ran short due to higher-than-anticipated demand. Additional supplies were promised and were to be distributed between Saturday and Monday. The provision of condoms has been a long-standing tradition at the Olympics.
Former President Barack Obama spoke out on the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shootings in Minnesota. In an interview with podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen, Obama addressed the "unprecedented nature" of the ICE deployment of over 2,000 agents in an operation dubbed "Operation Metro Surge." He stated, "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous," according to CBS News.
Also making headlines was Gisèle Pelicot, who became the public face of sexual abuse after a mass rape trial in France. In her first U.S. interview with Seth Doane on "CBS News Sunday Morning," Pelicot discussed her memoir, "A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides," and her decision to testify publicly.
Finally, the search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, continued. According to ABC News, the 84-year-old was reportedly kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1. The FBI released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask near her home.
