“The Golden Bachelor” star Gerry Turner was overjoyed when he proposed to financial services professional Theresa Nist, putting a fairy-tale stamp on his journey to find love again at 72. The couple rushed to get married, eager to start their new life together. But the fairy tale is over. Just more than three months after their sprint to the altar, in a gala ceremony televised live on ABC, the widower and his new bride are breaking up. The couple announced the bombshell during an emotional interview Friday on “Good Morning America.” While maintaining that they still love and cherish each other, they say they realized the obstacles of moving forward as husband and wife are too daunting. After a number of heart-to-heart conversations, “we’ve come to the conclusion that it’s probably time to dissolve our marriage,” Turner said in the interview. They also said they were nervous about how fans would react to the shocking news. Much of the decision was linked to the inability to decide how to merge their lives. One challenge? Nist lives in New Jersey, while Turner is from Indiana. They

After the war, he returned to Indian River County, Florida, and became a beloved milkman — only to be shot dead while on his delivery route in 1968. Now, 56 years later, the so-called “Milkman Homicide” has finally been solved. Thomas J. Williams, who died in 2016, has been identified as Grayam’s killer, the Indian River Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Thursday. Williams “had confessed to Grayam’s murder, his guilt echoing from beyond the grave,” officials said while announcing that the cold case had been cracked.

La comida nunca surgió de la nada para Karla Tatiana Vásquez. Las historias siempre seguían. Cada vez que su abuela o su madre cocinaban, Vásquez sabía que algo especial se avecinaba. Su comida desveló recuerdos, especialmente sobre El Salvador, la patria de la que habían huido a finales de los años 1980 durante la guerra civil del país. Vásquez nació en el país centroamericano pero no tenía ningún recuerdo de ello. Era una bebé cuando su familia se la llevó a Los Ángeles, donde muchos miembros de la familia terminaron estableciéndose. Cuando era niño, a Vásquez le costaba mucho decir “salvadoreño” sin tropezar en la montaña rusa de una palabra. En la escuela, luchó contra la ansiedad y el sentido de pertenencia. Se sintió perdida. Pero en la mesa se sintió castigada. Entre bocados de tortilla y el plato frío de carne picada salpicón de res, la abuela, la madre, el padre y las tías de Vásquez se turnaron para desentrañar historias que sirvieron como fragmentos de un tapiz más grande que constituía su identidad. El plato favorito de Vásquez cuando era niño: salpicón de

A notorious fake priest who left a trail of doubt and disbelief among the faithful he’s accused of swindling from coast to coast will soon face judgment in Riverside County, sheriff’s officials say. For months, Malin Rostas, aka “Father Martin,” donned black garb and showed up at Catholic churches across the U.S. and Canada claiming to be “a visiting priest from Chicago,” according to investigators. But when his all-too-trusting hosts would leave him alone in the rectory — a priest’s personal quarters next to the church — investigators say Rostas would rifle through their valuables and make a hasty exodus with their cash. In March, Father Peter Raydar, of the appropriately named American Martyrs Roman Catholic Church in Queens, N.Y., got burned for $900. “He’s a vulture, he’s a vulture,” Raydar told a local TV station. “It’s very sad that someone is going to come to any house of worship and just violate everybody.” But, Raydar confessed, the alleged fake priest had done his homework. He’d learned the names of people at the church, used ecclesiastical vocabulary and knew where to find the loot, he

In just the last few years, two former Los Angeles City Council members have gone to prison for corruption, one more has been sentenced for fraud and bribery and two current members face accusations of ethics violations. At least four high-ranking city officials have pleaded guilty to or been found guilty of roles in various corruption schemes. It should be obvious that L.A. needs a stronger, more independent Ethics Commission to prevent and penalize corruption and help rebuild public trust in scandal-plagued City Hall. But doing so requires voter support, and time is running out to get a comprehensive reform package on the November ballot. This is a test for Council President Paul Krekorian and his fellow council members’ commitment to fixing City Hall. If they fail to act quickly, it will be clear that they cannot be trusted to make substantial changes to the city’s political structure. Activists and civic leaders will have to organize and impose reform from outside. The City Council has about two months to sign off on the proposals, which may sound like a long time. But there’s been almost

My mother, a UCLA graduate, switched her allegiance on a dime the day I enrolled at USC. She and my father attended every Trojans home game from that day forward. Familial blood may be thicker than alumni water but not so, it seems, when it comes to spousal relations. And I know about it all too well. My husband, Brad, and I, both divorced and not in the market for anyone who didn’t ooze quality, had engaged in a keyboard courtship. He was avid, while I was reluctant at best. I refused to meet him for months, having been single for six years and not the least bit interested in sharing anything with anyone ever again. But he said he was willing to wait however long it took for me to muster up the courage, and he would even manage to overlook the fact that my diploma was from USC because he (unfortunately) was a devoted Bruin. Letters soared back and forth between us, and because we were both 50 and counting, once I caved and we came face to face we wasted no time

Many state capitol buildings feel unapproachable, tucked away downtown or barricaded behind lanes of noisy traffic. Not so in Salt Lake City. The Utah Capitol sits at the mouth of a verdant canyon, flanked by parks and neighborhoods, perched below the Wasatch Mountains and presiding over the city with authority. It’s a grand building , just over a century old, with a copper-clad dome and a neoclassical design that mirrors the U.S. Capitol. Inside, the state Legislature convenes every January for 45 days. In deeply conservative Utah, the Republican supermajority passes one law after another that outrages progressives, educators, young people and more. Outside the walls, these marginalized groups protest these same bills. Ten years ago, my wife and I moved a block away from this stately old building, serendipitously finding our new home an easy launchpad to attend rallies. The stack of homemade signs accumulating in our basement testifies to our proximity. In January 2017, we joined 6,000 Utahans in the Capitol rotunda — 1,000 more than the official capacity of the space — for the existential roar of the Women’s March. The following

But that would be the last communication, Megan Kingsbury says, she would ever have with her sister. Later that evening, Megan Kingsbury says her mother, Krista Naber, reached out to see if she had spoken to her sister recently because Naber had not heard from Maddi Kingbsury in hours. Megan Kingsbury says she wasn’t worried at first, but then Maddi Kingsbury did not respond to her new messages or phone calls either.  “…regardless of how busy she was or what she had going on, she always got back to us,” Megan Kingsbury told “48 Hours” correspondent Peter Van Sant. Her interview is featured in “The Disappearance of Maddi Kingsbury,” an all-new “48 Hours” airing Saturday, April 13, at 10/9c on CBS and Paramount+. Madeline “Maddi” Kingsbury Maddi
