When a fifty-two-year-old traveling nurse disappeared in Anchorage in 2001, the authorities showed little interest, and the Anchorage Police Department said they did not have available detectives to investigate the case. If the authorities had taken his disappearance more seriously, perhaps we would know the answer to the question: What happened to Thomas Nuzzi? Sources “Missing Person Thomas Anthony Nuzzi.” nd.

Russia's irredentist claims on its former holding Alaska have provided fodder for comedians, but the stakes at the Trump-Putin meeting in the Last Frontier are no laughing matter. Despite the escalating mutual nuclear threats between Washington and Moscow, Trump's call for a Russia-Ukraine "land-swap" obviously means Kyiv being forced to accept Moscow's annexation of much of its territory in exchange for the return of other pieces its own territory illegally occupied by Russia. Meanwhile, Moscow sends drones to threaten NATO member Lithuania, which sits on the critical corridor to the Russian exclave (and tactical missile outpost) of Kalningrad. Germany has responded by sending troops to the Baltic country—its first post-war foreign deployment. Appeasement of aggression failed to win peace at Munich in 1938, and there's no reason to hope it will in Alaska today. But the difference is that the contending powers today have nuclear weapons.

So you've got a lot of data…now what do you do with it? How do we turn a patchwork of energy technologies into a single cohesive model—one that's scalable, reliable, and ready to deploy? That's what we're talking about today: filling in digital gaps with GIS technology. Because doing so doesn't just mean improving workflows—it can also mean optimizing gains for utilities across the board. Our guest today is Matt Zimmerman, UDC Vice President of Systems Integration. Matt is giving an expert POV on the current state of digitalization, including an impactful case study showing how one utility is pulling off an end-to-end retirement of their paper asset construction—with UDC's help. This episode is packed with intel on how the design fabric of high-tech utility workflows operates in the real world. This episode is brought to you by UDC. As a GIS-centric systems integrator, UDC specializes in supporting its clients' projects and programs throughout the entire lifecycle—from conception to implementation.

“A Space Adventure Hour” While studying the neutron star at the center of the Kitolian Belt, Captain Pike and Number One decide that it's the perfect chance to test a new Starfleet innovation that should make extended missions easier: the Holodeck. What better time to push the ship's power resources to the limit than when circling the gravitationally collapsed core of a massive supergiant? What could possibly go wrong? Well, for one thing, a burgeoning television show could be canceled. Also, La'an could get trapped in a simulation with the safeties off. And, in the worst case, the entire crew could be lost as the crushing gravity of the collapsing star pulls the ship apart. But don't worry, Amelia Moon is on the case. But first, some diction lessons. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “A Space Adventure Hour.” We discuss the use of the Holodeck, La'an and Spock's tango, and the Last Frontier cold open as we also ask whether this very meta episode is really a love letter to Star Trek.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds season 3, episode 4 brings us a very whimsical Holodeck style episode with a "Who Dun it?" murder mystery. La'an is chosen to help test out the holodeck with the program and settings of her choice. She decides to put together a mystery from the collection of her favorite novels "The Amelia Moon Mysteries". What ensues is a satire of Star Trek and, specifically, TOS as she tries to figure out who killed the studio head, Tony Hart. He is responsible for helping create the show "The Last Frontier" (an obvious spoof of TOS as mentioned above). What ensues is sure to make you question what exactly you're watching. Oh ya...and there's a twist! We are joined in this episode by special guest Ken Purdie (Zach's cousin-in-law).

Mt. Iliamna is an active cone-shaped volcano located one hundred and forty miles (225 km) southwest of Anchorage and seventy miles (113 km) northwest of Homer. It is part of the Chigmit Mountains and rises from its base near Cook Inlet to 10,016 feet (3052.9 m), one of the highest peaks in the volcanically active area of the Alaska Peninsula. Ten glaciers radiate from the volcano's slopes. Iliamna last erupted in 1867, and observers have occasionally seen smoke wafting from the summit since then. However, it is the weather surrounding the mountain, not the volcanic activity, that makes Iliamna dangerous. Clouds frequently cloak the mountain's peak, and turbulent winds buffet this mountainous region, creating some of the most hazardous weather on the planet. Coastal fog and rain often create restricted visibility and a low ceiling. For aviators, flying in this area of the state can be challenging, dangerous, and sometimes deadly. Between 1958 and 1977, four mid-sized planes either crashed into Mt. Iliamna or were destroyed by the turbulence near the mountain, killing a total of seventy-nine people.

On the morning of October 7, 2010, Lisa Donlon dialed 911 and told the dispatcher she had just shot and killed her husband. When the police arrived at the twenty-foot by twenty-foot, one-room shed where Lisa lived with her husband, Jason, and their three young sons, they found Jason lying in bed on his stomach. Lisa had shot him once in the head and five times in the back. She claimed she'd killed him in self-defense while he slept. Her two youngest sons were present in the cabin when their mother murdered their father. Lisa's body showed signs of abuse, and she told a horrific story about the torture she'd endured at the hands of her husband, Jason. Still, people asked the age-old question. Instead of killing Jason, why didn't she take her children and leave? Sources Bottaro, Angelica. “How to recognize and end the cycle of abuse.” June 8, 2022. Verywell health.

"Workers and drug dealers and dancers came and went, many with few ties to the state and no one to notice if they went missing..."In the early 1980s, a quiet pattern had begun to form: women were disappearing in the region surrounding Anchorage. Many had come to Alaska in order to escape their problems or to otherwise have a fresh start in the "Last Frontier." But amidst a transient population, these women's disappearances were shrugged off, presumed to have simply gotten lost in the shuffle.Following the discovery of a few bodies, however, investigators with the Anchorage Police Department and Alaska State Troopers started to make connections between victims. Despite being separated by time and distance, these young women had seemingly been hunted by a serial killer with ritualistic tendencies...Part one of fourResearch, writing, hosting, and production by Micheal WhelanLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

Most of us like to believe we can trust the police, but not everyone goes into law enforcement for the greater good. Some enter the police academy because they crave power over others and what better job than policing offers this power? I believe most police officers are good, and a few are bullies.

Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms make their home in the San Juan Islands, in Washington State, and their latest spring tour saw them make a stop at the Albino Skunk Music Festival in May 2025. This was two weeks ahead of their own festival, the inaugural East Sound Music Ramble, and part of an eastern swing that preceded other engagements including Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The duo has been very much on the go lately, which is in keeping with their recent past: sojourns to Louisiana, to celebrate the music of Cajun and country legend Jimmy C Newman; to The Last Frontier state for the Alaska Folk Festival; and to Vermont, where Caleb connected with Noam Pikelny, which led to becoming a guest member of bluegrass supergroup Mighty Poplar, to name a few. I spoke with Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms on a picture perfect spring afternoon in Greer, SC, in between their two sets at Skunk Fest, where we touched on all of these travels, both physical and musical; their own region's musical “rogue-ness”; the raw simplicity and danceability of their take on country music; and the importance of slowing down and being present. That and more awaits you, including their music, both live and on record, in this episode.

Most people understand they face the risk of encountering wild animals when they enter the woods in Alaska, but they do not expect someone to shoot them. When a series of murders occurred in parks and on trails near Anchorage in the summer of 2016, residents demanded more information from the police. Were the murders related to each other? Was a serial killer stalking the city? Was it safe to go hiking after dark? And what were the police doing to solve these murders? Police remained tight-lipped, and tensions rose.

In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Josh McMullen, historian and author of The Glacier Priest, for an inspiring conversation about one of the most fascinating and overlooked Catholic figures of the 20th century—Father Bernard Hubbard, S.J.Known as “The Glacier Priest,” Father Hubbard was a Jesuit geologist, adventurer, and missionary who explored the Alaskan frontier during the 1930s and 40s. A gifted lecturer and photographer, he brought the beauty of God's creation and the Gospel message to thousands—both in person and through his extensive travels and publications.Josh shares how he first encountered Father Hubbard's story, what compelled him to write the biography, and how Hubbard's deep faith, love for nature, and willingness to suffer for the Gospel remain deeply relevant today.This episode is a powerful look at a priest who combined scientific curiosity with spiritual depth—and who used his unique calling to evangelize, educate, and inspire.Topics Covered:Who was Father Bernard Hubbard and why his story still mattersThe Jesuit priest who became a national celebrityWhat it meant to say Mass in the wilds of AlaskaHow Hubbard's work helped shape America's view of AlaskaThe tensions between religious vows and public acclaimThe beauty of redemptive suffering and the Sacred HeartWhy creation drew him closer to the CreatorWhat we can learn from Hubbard's life about vocation, sacrifice, and mission

When testifying at his trial, Teddy Kyle Smith said he thought he was shooting Enukins in self-defense when he fired his rifle at Chuck and Paul Buckel. Few believed him, but his testimony highlighted the inequalities of jury selection in rural Alaska.
