UNITED STATES

A Baptist pastor in Missouri’s Ozarks was issued a $30,000 bond after spending two years in jail for allegedly shooting his wife’s lover. Matthew Dedmon, now 49, shot 57-year-old Joe Newburn multiple times in the chest on May 28, 2022 after he allegedly spotted the other man with his wife in a car outside the Iguana Roja Restaurante in the Ozark Courthouse Square Historic District, Ozarks First reported. Dedmon had suspected Newburn was having an affair with his wife, the outlet reported.Newburn died the next day at Cox South Hospital, the Ozark Police Department wrote in a Facebook post.The Heritage Baptist Church pastor was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. For two years, he had been kept behind bars without bond. JUDGE RULES MISSOURI SEX OFFENDERS NO LONGER NEED TO POST WARNING SIGNS OUTSIDE THEIR HOMES ON HALLOWEENIn September 2022, Judge Laura Johnson wrote that letting Dedmon out on bond would put the public in “grave danger.””The evidence is that Defendant possessed a loaded gun on the square in Ozark outside a busy restaurant, and that gun was discharged three to four times, resulting in the victim’s death. This put everyone on the square in grave danger,” Johnson wrote in her decision, obtained by Law & Crime. “There was evidence that this conduct was out of character for Defendant, which causes concern about Defendant’s decision-making and judgment.””The seriousness of the charge increases the risk that Defendant will not appear,” she continued. “For these reasons, the Court will detain Defendant without bond.”For two years, Dedmon’s attorneys and state attorneys clashed in a legal fight over a “motion to endorse” witnesses and discovery. MISSING MISSOURI MOTHER’S REMAINS FOUND 6 MONTHS AFTER MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCEHowever, on Oct. 1, the judge granted Dedmon $30,000 bond, provided that he wear a GPS monitoring device and remain on house arrest. According to a defense filing seeking his release on bond, Dedmon’s attorneys argued that the state’s slowness to endorse witnesses violated their client’s rights under Missouri’s constitution. “This case has been pending for well over two years. Counsel for Defendant has worked diligently during that time to ready this case for trial. Just as Counsel for Defendant believed that depositions were concluded (as she had deposed all endorsed witnesses) and the matter was finally ready to set for trial, the State filed its motion to endorse, [redacted],” the filing read.”The Defendant adamantly opposes this motion to endorse. However, the Defendant submits that should the Court grant the State’s motion to endorse, in whole or in part, that the Defendant should be granted release on bond due to the State’s inexcusable act of late endorsements, which if allowed, will cause an inevitable lengthy delay of the Defendant’s trial.”TWO MEN ARRESTED IN MISSOURI AFTER POLICE DISCOVER 5 ADULTS, 7 CHILDREN IN BACK OF U-HAUL: REPORTSChristian County Prosecuting Attorney Kristen Tuohy could not be immediately reached for comment. As of Wednesday morning, Christian County Jail records did not indicate that the pastor had been released. His attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.The shooting victim, Newburn, had “always been the guy next door that everyone wanted to know,” could “build a bike better than Schwinn” and “build a hot rod as if he some day would be in Nascar,” according to his online obituary. He is survived by two children and a “host of grandkids.”Dedmon’s murder trial is scheduled to begin on March 3, according to Ozarks First.

Tropicana Field has gotten used to hosting playoff games since Kevin Cash took over as manager of the Tampa Bay Rays, but over the next few days, the stadium will be used as a base camp to support the Florida Department of Emergency Management ahead of Hurricane Milton.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis directed Florida crews that were dispatched to North Carolina to help the state dig out of Hurricane Helene’s aftermath to return to Florida to prepare for Milton’s arrival, which is churning in the Gulf of Mexico as a dangerous Category 5 storm.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFlorida emergency officials launched evacuation orders for most of the state’s western coast in preparation for Milton. Many of those same regions were still trying to dig out from Helene.”Time is running out,” DeSantis said Tuesday, via USA Today. “There’s no guarantee what the weather’s going to be like starting Wednesday morning … You may have a window where it may be safe, but you may not. So use today as your day to finalize and execute the plan that is going to protect you and your family.”Milton is expected to bring a deadly storm surge, destructive winds and flooding rain, according to Fox Weather. Forecasters warned of a possible 10- to 15-foot storm surge in Tampa Bay. It is the highest surge ever predicted for that location and has led to evacuation orders for communities all along the coast.HURRICANE MILTON: PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM LOOTING WITH THESE 4 STEPSThe storm could also bring widespread flooding, with five inches to a foot of rain forecast for the Florida peninsula, and even up to 18 inches in some places.Tampa Mayor Jane Castor issued a dire warning for those who choose to stay behind in mandatory evacuation zones as Hurricane Milton barrels toward Florida.”Helene was a wake-up call, this is literally catastrophic,” Castor said on CNN. “If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die.”Before this Atlantic hurricane season started, forecasters said everything lined up to be a monster busy year, and it began that way when Beryl was the earliest storm to reach Category 5 on record. Then, nothing.From Aug. 20 – the traditional start of peak hurricane season – to Sept. 23 it was record quiet, Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach told The Associated Press.Fox News Pilar Arias and the Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The fall of 2024 will see scores of new book releases coming a store or library shelf near you. While borrowing from the library can be a great money saver, keep in mind that when it comes to new reads, it’s very likely you may have to wait a bit before the book becomes available to you. Many well-known authors, such as Rebecca Yarros and Freida McFadden, have new books for fall.HALLOWEEN-THEMED BOOKS THAT WILL GIVE YOU A FRIGHT THIS SPOOKY SEASONAdditionally, memoirs, including one by legendary actor Al Pacino, are on many people’s must-read list for fall. Check out this book of new reads for fall 2024. Rebecca Yarros is a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author.She has penned over 20 novels throughout her career, including “The Empyrean” series, an extremely popular fantasy read. So far, there are two books in the series, “Fourth Wing” and “Iron Flame,” both published in 2023. HOW THE RISE OF AUDIOBOOKS HAS REVOLUTIONIZED READINGExcited readers now don’t have to wait too long to find out what happens after the massive cliffhanger the second book ends on — as a third book, “Onyx Storm” is on the way, set to be published in January 2025. Meanwhile, Yarros’ newest book is set to hit shelves on Nov. 19, 2024. It’s a romance book called “Variation.” The book is described as “a new contemporary romance about the summer, [as] acelebrated dancer returns home and unearths years of family secrets and deep regrets with the Coast Guard rescue swimmer she never forgot,” according to the book’s description. Sophie Cousens is a London-born author who spent several years working in television. She is now the author of a handful of romance novels. “This Time Next Year” was her debut novel. She is also the author of “Just Haven’t Met You Yet,” “Before I Do” and “The Good Part.” FALL ROMANCE BOOKS TO COZY UP WITH BY THE FIRECousens’ newest romance novel, “Is She Really Going Out With Him,” has a planned publish date of Nov. 10, 2024. The book is “a hilarious love story about a disillusioned divorcée who agrees to let her children play matchmaker,” according to the book’s description. Katharine McGee is the author of “American Royals” and “The Thousandth Floor” trilogy.”The Thousandth Floor” trilogy came out first — with the first book of the series being published in 2016, “The Dazzling Heights” in 2017 and “The Towering Sky” in 2018. 10 MOVIES BASED ON BEST-SELLING BOOKSShortly after, the first book of the “American Royals” series came out in 2019. This book was followed by three more novels in the series. While McGee’s newest book, “A Queen’s Game,” is similar to “American Royals,” it is separate from the series. “I was doing background research for the ‘American Royals’ series when I stumbled across the stories of Alix, Hélène, and May: three princesses at the end of the Victorian era whose lives became wildly entangled, as they were all at various points linked to the same three princes,” McGee told Town & Country of her newest book. “I immediately knew that this was my next project! It has everything that readers have come to expect from the American Royals series — drama, forbidden romance, and secrets — set against the glittering backdrop of nineteenth-century Europe,” she also said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER”All too often, history follows the exploits and decisions of men, but it’s fascinating to realize how much these young women (and their choices about love!) changed the course of history.”This book, published on Oct. 1, 2024, is the first of a two-book series, according to the source. Freida McFadden is the author of the popular “Housemaid” series. The series falls into the thriller genre, and will have readers scratching their heads with each page turn, trying to figure out the mystery that unfolds.  The first book of “The Housemaid” series was published in 2022 and was followed by “The Housemaid’s Secret” in 2023 and “The Housemaid Is Watching” in 2024. “The Boyfriend,” a book separate from the series, was published on Oct. 1, 2024.”Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can’t shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot,” the description of the book begins. “Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He’s charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet,” the description continues. “The brutal murder of a young woman ― the latest in a string of deaths across the coast ― confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.”For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle”Sydney should feel safe. After all, she is dating the guy of her dreams. But she can’t shake her own suspicions that the perfect man may not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every move, and if she doesn’t get to the truth, she’ll be the killer’s next victim,” the description concludes. Fans of Al Pacino can get an inside look at the actor’s life with his new memoir “Sonny Boy.” This book not only dives into Pacino’s time spent making historic films such as “The Godfather,” but also his life prior to his blockbuster movie roles. Pacino’s memoir is planned for release on Oct. 15, 2024.”From Here to the Great Unknown” is a highly anticipated memoir for fall 2024. This book was begun by Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley, before her death on Jan. 12, 2023. After her passing, Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley Keough, took on the task of finishing her mother’s story. “Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley was never truly understood … until now. Before her death in 2023, she’d been working on a raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir for years, recording countless hours of breathtakingly vulnerable tape, which has finally been put on the page by her daughter, Riley Keough,” a description on the book’s website reads.”Few people had the opportunity to know who my mom really was, other than being Elvis’s daughter,” Keough said in a previous statement released by publisher Random House. “I was lucky to have had that opportunity and working on preparing her autobiography for publication has been a privilege, albeit a bittersweet one,” she also said. “I’m so excited to share my mom now, at her most vulnerable and most honest, and in doing so, I do hope that readers come to love my mom as much as I did.”This book was published on Oct. 8, 2024.

Human life expectancy has potentially been pushed to the max, new research suggests.The recent increase in people’s longevity appears to be slowing down despite new developments in medicine, according to a study published in the journal Nature Aging.During the 20th century, human life expectancy at birth rose by about 30 years in high-income nations, the study noted, driven by advancements in public health.ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS MAKE UP 60% OF AMERICA’S DIET, WHO’S AT BIGGEST RISKResearchers from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) analyzed the national vital statistics of the longest-living populations in Australia, France, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, as well as Hong Kong and the United States, from 1990 to 2019.Since 1990, the average life span has only risen 6-½ years in the countries in the study, which casts doubt on expectations that human life expectancy would exceed 100 years in people born today.The researchers concluded that overall life expectancy improvements have slowed down, and that radical human life extension is “implausible in this century” unless the biological aging process can be “markedly slowed.”Study co-author S. Jay Olshansky, PhD, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at UIC, shared his reaction in a conversation with Fox News Digital.”We’re demonstrating what actually happened in all of these populations in the last three decades,” he wrote in an email. “The decline in improvement was particularly pronounced in the United States.””As long as aging is unchanged, life extension through disease reduction must yield diminishing gains — that’s the overall conclusion in this paper.”The researcher also suggested that most people past age 60 are living on “manufactured time,” meaning they’re surviving on new medical technology.”We should all be grateful that these life-extending technologies work, because without them, we would be living much shorter lives,” he said.TO REDUCE DEMENTIA RISK, SENIORS SHOULD TAKE UP THIS OUTDOOR ACTIVITY, STUDY SUGGESTSOlshansky explained that humans were not made to live as long as they do now, as the natural life expectancy for humans is 30 to 60 years.”This means the vast majority of the population that now lives past age 60 is living on survival time that was manufactured by medicine,” he said. “The power of medicine to extend human life is extraordinary.”Medical interventions for disease reduction could be considered “temporary” bandages, according to Olshansky.”Living longer means we’re exposing ourselves to the currently immutable force of biological aging – which has already become the dominant risk factor for death in high-income countries,” he said.For more Health articles, visit foxnews.com/healthMore than 30 years ago, researchers predicted that medicine would advance at “breakneck speed,” but that life expectancy wouldn’t follow, Olshansky noted.”The prediction has come true and … the period of rapid increases in life expectancy is over,” he said. Dr. Marc Siegel, senior medical analyst for Fox News and clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center, who was not involved in the study, shared his opinion of the findings.”I disagree with this because aging is tied to inflammation,” he told Fox News Digital. “Current treatments (metformin, Lipitor, Ozempic, etc.) and diet strategies, as well as newer treatments in the works, may decrease oxidative stress, inflammation and insulin resistance, all of which contribute to cellular longevity,” the doctor added.The time has come for people to focus on healthspan extension, not lifespan extension, according to Olshansky.”This paper represents the strongest empirical evidence supporting the need to slow aging, because the [bandages] we’re now creating may produce an expansion of our carespan – especially if they make us live longer and deeper into the aging red zone, where frailty and disability dominate.”Olshansky advised the public to “control what we can control” and to avoid activities that shorten lifespan, such as unhealthy eating, smoking and substance abuse.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThe scientist also encouraged people to take advantage of access to medicine by visiting their doctor and taking prescribed medications.”Take advantage of the social determinants of health — education and access to medical care — because these interventions work to increase the chances of living longer and healthier,” he said.”And then focus on extending the most precious commodity on earth — healthy life.”
