A deadly human smuggling attempt off the coast of Del Mar in Southern California left at least three people dead, including a 14-year-old boy from India, and prompted charges against five individuals, federal prosecutors said. At dawn on Monday, witnesses at Torrey Pines State Beach spotted an overturned beaten-up panga boat in the surf near Del Mar. Bystanders, lifeguards and rescue crews attempted to save those in the water and on the beach, but three people died.

A breakthrough has been made in a complex and confounding crime mystery in Northern California, but authorities are still no closer to finding the killer of Trinity County schoolteacher Kay Adams. On Aug. 3, 1987, a Trinity County man named Nickolas Medin returned home from a work trip to find his wife, a 48-year-old school teacher named Kay Adams, missing. Adams, who also went by Kay Josephine Medin, had vanished from the couple’s Hyampom home but had left behind her purse, glasses and car.

On the evening of Feb. 14, Liz went out with friends in Isla Vista to celebrate Valentine’s Day. A short walk from her freshman dorm, they hung out at Lao Wang Noodle Bar, where Liz was captured on cellphone footage with a young blond man. She left the restaurant with him at 10:06 p.m., friends remembered. Twenty-one minutes later, she was found lying on a sidewalk, unconscious and with severe injuries, under a third floor walkway at a campus dorm. She died in the hospital six days later.

On Feb. 11, 2024, a group of friends gathered at a South Lake Tahoe home to watch the Super Bowl between the 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. Appetizers, drinks and weed were consumed, and as the evening wore on, some of the friends allegedly started taking what they thought was cocaine. By the morning, four were dead. At about 9 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 12, South Lake Tahoe police received a 911 call reporting multiple overdoses at a home at 596 Roger Ave. There, officers found a grim scene.
