    CHICAGO (WLS) — The body of a Chicago Public Schools teacher who went missing over one week ago was pulled from Lake Michigan on Monday morning, officials said.

The Chicago Police Department said its marine unit recovered a woman’s body from the water in the 3100-block of South Lake Shore Drive on the city’s South Side just before noon.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the woman as 53-year-old Robert Healy Elementary special education teacher Linda Brown.

Police said Brown was seen on Saturday, Jan. 3 in the Bronzeville neighborhood’s 4500-block of South King Drive, not far from where she lived.

Investigators later found her car near 35th and Lake Park Avenue.

Police said in a statement on Friday afternoon that a surveillance image had captured Brown, at an unknown time and day, in the area of the 3500-block South Lake Park Avenue, before her body was ultimately recovered on Monday.

Brown’s family spent days searching for her.

Those who knew Brown have described her as a loving woman and wife. In a text message, her family said they are “absolutely heartbroken.”

Brown’s former student, Rene Lopez, said she had a unique way of reaching people.

“She just made us believe in a sense of hope,” Lopez said. “She just created a sense of community, a safe space within her classroom.”

Brown was Lopez’s sixth grade homeroom and science teacher at Dr. Jorge Prieto Math & Science Academy, and she also taught his brother and 10 of his cousins.

“We always carried a piece of her with us. We always reached out for advice, and she always had a safe space for us to be able to ask questions, to express ourselves,” Lopez said.

Lopez said he became the first in his family to graduate, and Linda played a strong role in that.

“I want the city of Chicago to really understand how much of an impact she played to her community,” Lopez said. “Although she’s no longer here physically, her legacy will continue to flourish through all the lives that she was able to touch.”

Former CPS teacher Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued a statement on Monday, saying, “I am deeply saddened by the news of Linda Brown’s passing. As a special education teacher at Healy Elementary she made an immeasurable impact on countless young lives and was a vital member of the Bridgeport community. I’m praying for her family, and for her students as they grieve and remember Linda and all the joy she brought.”

Robert Healy Elementary’s principal sent a message to the school community on Monday, saying, “It is with deep sadness that I update you on a situation impacting our community. Ms. Linda Brown, one of our teachers, has passed away. Our thoughts are with her family during this difficult time. We know that this loss will raise many emotions, concerns, and questions for our entire school, especially our students.

We are working closely with the Chicago Public Schools Crisis Management Unit to provide grief counseling and support to students and staff members. Our own school-based mental health professionals will also be available for students who need ongoing services.

Information about the funeral service will be made available as soon as we have it. If your child wishes to attend, we strongly encourage you to accompany them to the service. If the funeral is scheduled during school hours, students who wish to attend will need parental permission to be released from school.

We are deeply saddened by this loss and will do everything we can to help our school community heal.”

On Monday, police said they are conducting a death investigation, pending autopsy results.

How Brown ended up in the water was not immediately clear.

Her cause of death was not immediately known.

Twin Cities high school students hold walkouts after fatal shooting of Renee Good

    MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Some students in Minneapolis returned to class on Monday, but others stayed home over safety concerns following the deadly U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement shooting on Wednesday.

The district is offering families the option of remote learning for January.

Young people continue to make their voices heard as federal agents increase their presence outside schools and near school bus stops.

As students returned to class on Monday, planned walkouts took place across the Metro.

From Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, where an ICE operation took place last Wednesday, near where Renee Good was killed, to Roseville and Maple Grove.

The student walkouts are a show of solidarity and concern, not only for classmates, but for their communities.

“My church has been getting threats because it was associated with Renee Good,” said Ria De Looze, a senior at Maple Grove High School. “I know a lot of my friends who might not necessarily be immigrants are feeling fear just on the possibility of being racially profiled.”

The Maple Grove protest stayed on campus with speeches, a short march and a remembrance for Good.

“The heart of the message is to express our need for justice,” said De Looze.

Roseville Area High School students walked from their school to the Grace Church parking lot, stopping along the way on the Hamline Avenue Pedestrian Bridge.

At Roosevelt High School, many of the students saw Border Patrol agents come onto school property as school was getting out. Their message, stay away.

While the districts have not endorsed the protests, they have acknowledged the weight of the moment and students’ First Amendment rights in letters to parents. A freedom students say is needed now more than ever.

“If you don’t speak up, it’s going to continue happening,” said Zaden Grulkowski, a sophomore at Maple Grove High School.

Firefighters from same Cincinnati Fire Academy class both promoted to second-highest rank 27 years later

    CINCINNATI (WCPO) — Almost 30 years ago, two firefighters met at the Cincinnati Fire Academy. Now, thanks to recent promotions, they’re at the top of the department together.

In 1999, John Davis Jr. and Craig Coburn met for the first time.

“January 10, 1999. We were in the drill yard for the first time,” Davis said. “For me, I was terrified, and his (Coburn) demeanor that he has now is what he’s pretty much always at. Cool, calm, and collected.”

Davis was brand new to firefighting, while Coburn was coming in from a smaller department and trying to land a job in his home city.

They, along with their fellow class recruits, supported each other through the fire academy and ever since.

“We’ve had a great relationship our entire careers. We didn’t always work together; we worked different districts, different houses, different assignments,” Coburn said. “We call each other classmates when we see each other.”

And as the years went by, they were both promoted a number of times.

“Every rank that we went through, it’s always a congratulations. Whether it’s a phone call or it’s a text. ‘Hey, proud of you, classmate, proud of you, classmate,” Davis said.

Now, almost exactly 27 years later, both Davis and Coburn have been promoted to assistant chiefs in command, the second-highest rank in the entire department. Davis was promoted to assistant chief of the Cincinnati Fire Administration Bureau, and Coburn is now assistant chief of the Cincinnati Fire Operations Division.

“I texted him, I don’t know what day it was, but I was like, did you ever think 27 years ago this is where we could end up? We both just said nope,” Coburn said.

“I was excited that I got it, but I was really excited to see him. It was just a breath of fresh air for us,” Davis said.

Davis and Coburn’s new positions will allow them to work together more often than before. Both with the goal of making the city and the fire department better.

“We’re both here for all the people, our people, and the community,” Coburn said.

Abandoned Westminster Mall draws vandalism and over 400 police calls since closing in 2025

    LOS ANGELES (KCAL, KCBS) — The abandoned Westminster Mall has turned into a hotspot for vandalism since shuttering in late 2025, according to police who are attempting to raise awareness about the issue.

“The Westminster Police Department has become aware of multiple videos on social media showing tagging, vandalism, and trespassing amongst other criminal activity occurring inside the Westminster mall,” said a Facebook post from the department.

They said that they have partnered wth onsite security and the property owners to help try and mitigate the issue, which has turned into more than 400 calls for service at the location since it closed in October last year.

Westminster police spoke with CBS LA on Monday, noting that the constant calls have been drawing a lot of the department’s resources in recent months.

“It’s tapping us dry through most of our shifts,” said Officer Andy Stowers.

Over the weekend alone, police said that they were called for service at the abandoned property 57 times, resulting in 30 arrests and 20 reports made.

“The Westminster mall is closed and no persons are allowed inside,” police said. “The Westminster Police Department will be conducting full enforcement for any criminal activity committed at the mall.”

Stowers had a strong message for people planning to continue vandalizing the mall.

“Please just don’t go inside. We are gonna arrest anybody and everybody that we’re able to for various crimes, different reasons, whatever it is we can do to keep people out of the property,” he said.

Video posted on social media shows the chaos inside the massive vacant building. The walls have been covered in graffiti and the floors are covered in the shattered glass from the windows of now-empty storefronts. In the background of the video, the sound of banging and breaking glass can be heard.

“It was heartbreaking and scary. I’m not gonna lie, I was super scared,” said Donny Mohler, a former mall employee who recorded now-viral video over the weekend.

He said that he didn’t see any security personnel on the premises the entire time he was there.

“It was wide open,” Mohler said.

As of Monday evening, some entrances to the mall had been blocked by chainlink fences. All of the first floor doors and windows were boarded up as well.

City officials voted in 2022 to replace the mall with a housing, apartments, restaurants, hotels and more, but there was no timetable for when that project would be completed.

‘One big family’ | Kentucky high school star hoops player, coach share special connection beyond the game

CNN Newsource on January 13, 2026

By Mike Dyer

Click here for updates on this story

    ERLANGER, Kentucky (WCPO) — Lloyd Memorial senior point guard Anthony Blaackar always seems to have a smile around school.

“It doesn’t matter if he scores 30 points or 10 and we lose,” Lloyd athletic director Bill Pilgram said. “He seems to keep everything in perspective and sees the balance of life. He appreciates the natural gift he has of playing the game of basketball.”

Blaackar’s gift on the basketball court was on display last week in the Juggernauts’ 63-53 win at Holy Cross. He and those who know the star best are still reflecting on his 30-point and 10-rebound performance.

“It was kind of like an out-of-body experience at some point for me because I was just watching him,” Lloyd boys basketball coach Michael Walker said. “He was just hitting every shot. Being 13 of 19 from the floor — that’s really, really good. He was just efficient. He also played great defense that night as well. I think that’s going to be one of the games he’s going to remember for a while.”

Blaackar, who is uncommitted to a college program, is a 9th Region Player of the Year candidate. He followed up that performance at Holy Cross with a 31-point game at Scott on Jan. 8. Through 13 games, Blaackar averages 22.8 points and seven rebounds for Lloyd (10-3).

“I’m having a lot of fun,” Blaackar said. “We’re winning. I think we’re shocking a lot of people.”

Lloyd has its sights set on a possible return trip to the Ninth Region final for a second straight season. The Juggernauts were the regional runner-up last season in the program’s first appearance in the game since 1996.

“I feel like a lot of people underestimated us coming into the season,” Blaackar said. “But now we’re starting to see we’re a pretty good basketball team.”

Lloyd has persevered all season. The program’s culture has set a significant standard.

“I love how no matter what, no matter what we go through, everybody always sticks together,” Blaackar said. “It’s like one big family here.”

Lloyd senior point guard Anthony Blaackar (left) moved in with head coach Michael Walker and his family two years ago. Family means everything to the 18-year-old, who moved in with Walker and his family two years ago. Blaackar has persevered through adversity in life.

Walker and his wife, Brittany, have shared life lessons. Blaackar is best friends with University of South Carolina freshman EJ Walker, a former Lloyd star and Michael and Brittany’s son.

While basketball talk stays at Lloyd, Coach Walker and Blaackar have formed a special bond.

“Being around him and this program, it teaches you to take nothing for granted,” Blaackar said. “And it really teaches you how to become a man.”

Blaackar, who excels academically, has improved his time management, his effort with chores and has embraced responsibility.

“It’s been a joy to have him in our house and call him family, along with his mother (Megan) and his grandmother (Roberta) as well,” Walker said. “It’s just been a blessing.”

Megan Blaackar, Anthony’s mother, said she’s very proud of her son’s efforts. She still remembers arriving home from third shift at 4 a.m. years ago as Anthony held a basketball in his hand with a plastic hoop.

“I think his life is going great,” Megan said.

Megan, who attends each of Lloyd’s games this season, said she’s grateful for the support that the Walker family has provided. Megan knows her son has a bright future.

“I really hope that he gets to do what he wants to do, play basketball and continue his education,” Megan said.

Lloyd senior point guard Anthony Blaackar and his mother, Megan. Pilgram said the Walker family continues to embrace Blaackar while the star point guard excels with their guidance.

“Coaches and players talk all of the time about the importance of caring for each other and becoming a family, but Anthony and Coach Walker have put that notion into real-life action, gaining a lifetime relationship that will impact each of them forever,” Pilgram said.

Blaackar said he is grateful for Walker in his life.

“He’s paved my way of high school basketball and really helps you,” Blaackar said. “He’ll take time out of his day to help anybody. And that’s what a lot of people don’t know about him. He’s a really good guy off the court. He’s welcomed me in.”

Blaackar will continue to smile and invest his time and commitment to basketball. He also enjoys playing chess on an app before every game. It’s a way to calm his nerves before tip-off.

That approach has paid dividends throughout the season. Blaackar is certainly a leader the Juggernauts can count on in basketball and beyond.

“I never want to make anybody’s day a negative day,” Blaackar said. “I want to try to be as positive as possible. And really a bad morale or being upset or something — it’s not going to help anyone. It is ok to be upset and stuff, but I’d rather be a positive, uplifting guy who can smile and enjoy themselves.”

Man says animal rights activists targeted his house for all the wrong reasons

    PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A South Park man says several people protested in front of his house, claiming someone who lives there is promoting animal abuse because they work at PPG Paints Arena. But the homeowner said the protesters were there for all the wrong reasons.

Lou Ruzzi and his family have been living in South Park for decades on a road where nothing much happens. But late last week, he was on a walk and coming home from that walk, he found loud animal rights protesters in front of his house.

“They said they were protesting against the rodeo that was being held at PPG Arena coming up in February,” Ruzzi said.

And the reason they picked Ruzzi’s home in particular? One of his daughters works at the arena.

“She’s an usher there. She has nothing to do when it comes to scheduling these types of events,” Ruzzi said.

KDKA learned the group protesting is the Christian Animal Rights Association.

“Their rationale was that they wanted to get to the employees basically because they weren’t getting what they wanted from management,” Ruzzi said.

Ruzzi says not only were these people protesting a part-time usher at PPG Paints Arena, but his daughter doesn’t even live with him.

KDKA reached out to Matthew King, who heads up the Christian Animal Rights Association. He confirmed his group was responsible for the protest and also confirmed its goal of raising awareness about alleged animal cruelty at rodeos.

“You are talking to the wrong person. You are going after the wrong people. Go protest at the PPG Arena,” Ruzzi said.

“Stay out of the neighborhoods. We don’t want you here,” Ruzzi said.

High school coach reunites with San Clemente firefighter who saved his life

    LOS ANGELES (KCAL, KCBS) — An Orange County man who suffered a heart attack on a pickleball court last month reunited with the off-duty firefighter who saved his life.

“One minute you’re there and enjoying time with friends,” Pickleball player Rob Frith said. “It hit me so fast I dropped on the back of my head.”

Frith, who coaches football at San Juan Hills High School, remembered nothing after his heart stopped last month until he woke up in the ambulance to the hospital.

He told a crowd at Orange County Fire Authority Station 59 that firefighter John Rowlands saved his life.

“I’m 1,000% an advocate for you have to act. You can’t hesitate,” Frith said. “If someone goes down, you assess the situation. Don’t feel a pulse, no breathing, you have to start chest compressions. Chest compressions saved my life.”

Rowlands, who is about to celebrate his third anniversary on the job, was off-duty and playing on the next pickleball court when Frith had his heart attack. He ran over as soon as he saw Frith go down. He spent 10-15 minutes giving chest compressions until paramedics arrived.

“At first, it was just being there and making that he was stable,” Rowlands said. “He was breathing. He was just unconscious, and as soon as he started to deteriorate, I just knew you have to start chest compressions, keep the blood circulating.

Several other things went in Frith’s favor that day, including the arrival of an Orange County Sheriff’s deputy with an automated external defibrillator, or AED for short.

Rowlands, along with a retired firefighter and nurse, all worked to keep Frith alive with the defibrillator and chest compressions. Doctors treating him for the sudden cardiac arrest eventually found an undetected heart defect.

“This means everything,” Frith’s wife Tara Frith said to Rowlands. “You are our forever hero, along with the other men that were there with you that day. I cannot thank you enough.”

Frith’s wife, son and daughter shared the emotional reunion with Rowlands.

“It felt good,” Rowlands said. “It was really cool to know that we had the right people there at the right time to keep a family together.”

Mobile care van brings services to Brooklyn residents on pretrial supervised release

CNN Newsource on January 13, 2026

    NEW YORK (WCBS) — A community care van is rolling through South Brooklyn neighborhoods to deliver case management and check-in services to people facing criminal charges while out on pretrial supervised release.

On Livonia Avenue, community navigator Troy Johnson climbs behind the wheel of the van, which functions as a mobile office for Brooklyn Justice Initiatives staff. Johnson has worked as a navigator since May, visiting people on supervised release to help them comply with court orders.

“I spent some time in prison. I realized during that period that, no, I’m not a bad boy,” Johnson recalled. “So I’m always looking for opportunities, even outside of the workplace, to help others.”

The pilot program targets Brooklyn residents who have previously struggled to meet the terms of their release. Instead of requiring them to travel to an office, the van brings services directly into their neighborhoods.

Curtis Huggins, Director of Community Initiatives at the Brooklyn Justice Initiative, said participants receive far more than basic check-ins.

“They essentially get a mobile office without having to come into the office to complete their check-ins, get wraparound services, they get provisions, care packages, clothing items,” Huggins said.

The initiative is a partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice. City officials say research shows that increasing compliance with supervised release conditions can lower recidivism.

“Supervised release participants return to court at a rate of 87%. And so the city has really been focused on looking at the flip side of that statistic. How do we make it much higher? How do we serve people better?” said Jordan Montoya, executive director of Diversion and Transition at the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice.

During a stop in Midwood, Johnson met with 39-year-old Allen Keller, who received a care package filled with snacks while checking in with his case worker.

“It’s been helpful in the sense that it kept me out of jail,” Keller said. “My counselor… is helping me rebuild bridges with my family members. And that is a tremendous strain in my life.”

The van primarily serves parts of South Brooklyn considered transit deserts and focuses on participants 35 and older, many of whom juggle work, child care, or responsibilities to aging parents.

“These are individuals who are parents, community members who have a variety of obligations outside of the court system. And we allow them to be able to maintain, engage with that,” Huggins said.

In some cases, workers transport participants to their new Brownsville hub on Livonia Avenue, where they can access additional services such as hot meals and free haircuts before their court appointments.

“We can potentially assist them in whatever it is that they need in their life to put it back on track,” Montoya said.

The three-year pilot aims to give participants a stronger shot at a second chance while leaders study whether the approach can help build safer communities across Brooklyn.

Mother diagnosed with perimenopause after years of unexplained symptoms

CNN Newsource on January 13, 2026

    ATLANTA (WUPA) — For seven years, a metro Atlanta wife and mother of five says she knew something wasn’t right with her body, but it took years and a new doctor to finally get answers that changed her life.

Jen Stone is a stay-at-home mom who makes time for fitness, often working out alongside her husband, Greg. On this day, she’s exercising alone at an all-female gym in Gwinnett County, something she says has become part of learning to take care of herself.

“You have to find the time for yourself,” Stone said. “That’s what I’ve been learning over the past couple of years.”

Stone says for years her body sent warning signs that were hard to ignore. One of the most troubling symptoms, she said, was painful intercourse with her husband. When she brought her concerns to her doctor, she says she was repeatedly told nothing was wrong.

“My previous OB-GYN had been gaslighting me about the symptoms and the things that I was feeling,” Stone said. “Telling me that I wasn’t going through what I was going through.”

The symptoms continued to pile up: hot flashes, irritability, joint pain, hair thinning, and brain fog. Stone says the physical and emotional toll followed her home and affected her family life.

“It wasn’t because I was trying to make them suffer,” she said. “It was because I didn’t have the knowledge of what it is I was supposed to be feeling.”

Her search for answers eventually led her to a new doctor and a diagnosis she says brought both relief and tears.

“When I found out, at 38, I cried in her office,” Stone said.

Dr. Sherika Newman, founder of Doctor in the Family, says Stone’s experience is far from rare. Newman explains that Stone was diagnosed with perimenopause, the stage before menopause when hormone levels begin to change.

“We’re recently discovering that perimenopause can start in your mid-30s,” Newman said.

For Black women, Newman says the experience can be even more challenging. Studies show Black women may remain in perimenopause for about 10 years, compared to six to eight years for others, and symptoms can look different.

“One uncommon symptom is frozen shoulder,” Newman said.

Stone says the biggest improvement has been at home. She now speaks openly with her children, both her daughters and her sons, about perimenopause and what her body has gone through.

“I’m an open book with my kids,” she said. “I want them to be informed and to be able to make informed decisions as life progresses for them.”

After years of struggling without answers, Stone says she hopes sharing her story helps break a cycle for future generations.

Dr. Newman says there are now more than 70 known symptoms associated with perimenopause, which can be physical, emotional or both, and she encourages women to advocate for themselves if something doesn’t feel right.

Water aerobics gets a high-energy makeover

CNN Newsource on January 13, 2026

By Nicky Zizaza

Click here for updates on this story

    BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The instructor of a water aerobics class in Baltimore calls the non-traditional workout “Big Energy,” and attendees say it is helping them start the new year strong.

WJZ’s Nicky Zizaza jumped into the pool to kick off our Health Watch series, Fitness Remix 2026.

The water aerobics class is held inside a Baltimore pool at Digital Harbor High School. The class is breaking stereotypes about water aerobics.

The music is loud; the energy is high, and the man leading the class has turned fitness into a movement.

“I will give 100 percent. Big energy,” the group chants before class begins.

Terrell Talbert did not seek out water aerobics. The class found him in June 2025. Now he is known simply as Big Energy, a name he proudly embraces.

“I was subbing for another instructor, and she asked me to sub a water aerobics class,” Talbert said. “I thought it would be something different than the normal classes I teach.”

That something different quickly became something he fell in love with.

“I did it, and I fell in love instantly,” Talbert said. “It is great for your joints.”

Talbert transformed the class into an energetic faith-based experience.

“When I first started, I was going easy,” he said. “Then I was like, no, I’m Mr. Big Energy. I have to put my own spin on it, my own love for it, and my own passion, and that’s when I said I’m gonna change the music, change the moves, and we just gonna go all the way Big Energy.”

Participants said the impact goes far beyond the pool.

Dr. James Darby admits he was skeptical at first.

“I kind of strayed from workouts because I have a really bad ankle injury,” Darby said. “I cannot run anymore or do impact workouts.”

He started attending about three months ago.

“I have gone from 397 pounds to 357 pounds,” Darby said.

For others, the class represents a turning point before medical intervention.

“I was considering surgery,” said attendee Nicole Pulley. “He told me to come to him first. I have lost 17 pounds since I started.”

Talbert said the focus is not just physical fitness but mental health.

“When I look at fitness, I look at mental health,” he said. “When you are stressed and moving your body, that dopamine rush goes straight to your head.”

Despite the intensity, the workout is gentle on the body.

“There is no swimming,” Talbert said. “Your head never goes underwater.”

He said it is especially helpful for people with joint pain.

“If you have knee problems, this will not make them worse,” he said.

Talbert also brings something personal to the pool.

“I have been a big guy all my life,” he said. “Big jokes and fat jokes do not bother me.”

What he has created is more than a workout class. It is a community where people feel strong, supported, and seen.

“This is more than water aerobics,” Talbert said. “It is a full experience.”

Talbert teaches two classes a week, and all are welcome to sign up. Since starting, he has become a viral fitness sensation. He also leads step classes, dance classes, and a fitness boot camp.
