Airbus A320 fuselage panel problems, Thunderbird F-16C crash, ATC prime integrator, hand flying, Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems, Southwest Airlines meltdown fine, solar flares and A320 groundings, airline pay-for-delay compensation, and charging air travelers without REAL ID. Aviation News Airbus prepares A320 inspections as fuselage flaw hits deliveries Airbus engineers are inspecting 628 A320 family exterior fuselage panels for thickness defects. The skin panels have thickness deviations beyond Airbus's design tolerances. The panels were manufactured by a Spanish supplier Sofitec Aero and do not represent a flight‑safety risk at this time. Panels on the upper forward fuselage are the main concern, with deviations having also been found in some rear‑fuselage sections. The affected panels are not serialized, so Airbus must inspect the entire batch of potentially impacted airframes rather than trace specific parts. A320 Family final assembly line in Toulouse. Courtesy Airbus. Sofitec Aero is an aerostructures company that designs, manufactures, and assembles metallic and composite aircraft structures for major OEMs, including Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier, and several Tier‑1 suppliers such as Spirit AeroSystems and Stelia. It is a privately held firm, founded in 1999. Thunderbirds F-16C Fighting Falcon Crashes in California The 57th Wing Public Affairs Office issued a statement saying, “On December 3, 2025, at approximately 10:45 a.m., a Thunderbird pilot safely ejected from a F-16C Fighting Falcon aircraft during a training mission over controlled airspace in California. The pilot is in stable condition and receiving follow-on care.” The F‑16C went down during a routine training mission in controlled airspace over the Mojave Desert. The crash site is located in a remote desert area near the town of Trona, approximately two miles south of Trona Airport and about 27 miles from Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. Hydrazine: A Significant Hazard Each Time An F-16 Crashes (Or Fires Up The Emergency Power Unit) F‑16s use hydrazine in their emergency power units, so environmental and hazmat teams from Edwards Air Force Base were deployed to the site to evaluate and mitigate any hazardous materials concerns. The F-16's Emergency Power Unit (EPU) is a backup power system that utilizes H-70 (approximately 70% hydrazine and 30% water) to drive a small turbine, supplying emergency hydraulic and electrical power in the event of main engine or generator failure. Hydrazine is used because it is a monopropellant that can rapidly generate mechanical power without external oxygen, but it is also highly toxic, corrosive, and flammable, so its use is tightly controlled and largely limited to legacy or niche applications. US government selects contractor Peraton to lead air traffic control modernisation In Episode 865, we reported that two bids had been received to become the prime integrator for the FAA's project to overhaul the air traffic control system, called the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS). They were Peraton and Parsons Corporation. Congress had approved $12.5 billion for the project, and the Agency has indicated that an additional $19 billion might be requested. The US Department of Transportation (DOT) selected Peraton as the prime integrator. The national security company is owned by Veritas Capital and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. Flight Global says Peraton is a “provider of technologies for large, complex organisations, offering services including cyber security, systems engineering and modernisation, cloud computing and data management.” According to Veritas, the company specializes in buying and growing companies that sell technology and services to U.S. government agencies in defense, intelligence, civil, and health markets. Examples include acquisitions or control of federal IT and mission‑support businesses such as Northrop Grumman's federal IT arm (combined into Peraton) and health IT and analytics providers serving Medicaid and Defense Health Agency programs.

Union Urges ‘Back-to-Basics' Approach to Pilot Skills Captain Wendy Morse is a Boeing 787 captain and serves as first vice president and national safety coordinator at the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). In a recent interview at the Skift Aviation Forum in Fort Worth, she said the union is advocating for pilots to “go back to our roots” and maintain strong manual-flying proficiency throughout their careers. Morse said, “So the biggest thing is [getting] back to basics…We have to maintain a basic level of flying, a basic level of flying skills, and we have to continue to maintain those basics. This business about positive rate, gear up, [and] put on the autopilot is not a good idea. We have to keep flying the airplane so that we're good at it.” Boeing closes Spirit AeroSystems purchase in major supply chain realignment Boeing has completed its takeover of Spirit AeroSystems. Under the $4.7 billion deal, Boeing re-acquires most of Spirit AeroSystems. Airbus picks up parts of Spirit in its supply chain. Operations in Subang, Malaysia, went to Composites Technology Research Malaysia, and the subsidiary Fiber Materials was sold earlier this year to Tex-Tech Industries. Portions of the Belfast, Northern Ireland, operations will continue as an independent subsidiary branded as Short Brothers. Trump administration lets Southwest Airlines off the hook with a multimillion dollar waiver for 2022 holiday travel meltdown In 2023, the Biden administration fined Southwest Airlines $140 million for the 2022 holiday travel meltdown. The US Department of Transportation has now waived the final $11 million installment of that fine. The DOT says Southwest has made worthwhile investments in its operations control center and “the Department is of the view that it is more beneficial for the flying public to give Southwest credit for significantly improving its on-time performance and completion factor.” The 10-day schedule meltdown resulted in 17,000 canceled flights, roughly half of Southwest's holiday season flight schedule. Southwest paid out $600 million in refunds and reimbursements to passengers who were affected. Add in additional labor costs and lost revenue, and the airline reported a $914 million after-tax loss. Aviation News Follow-Up A320 Groundings – There Was No Solar Flare In Visual Approach, Airplane Geeks co-founder Courtney Miller argues that the data does not support the case that the October 30, 2025, uncommanded altitude decrease of a JetBlue A320 was caused by solar radiation. Looking at proton flux data, Courtney says, “We are talking about high-energy protons traveling from the sun to Earth, penetrating the Earth's protective magnetic field, and also penetrating the aircraft's hardware shielding to deliver what's called a Single-Event Upset (SEU). Another term you may have heard for it is a “bit flip”. The proton flux usually arrives associated with a solar flare, but not always. NOAA tracks and reports these events. In the days leading up to the “intense solar radiation” that Airbus referenced as the potential issue in the JetBlue upset, there was no intense solar radiation.

Pay-On-Delay Would Send Airfares Soaring, Says Transport Minister The Australian Federal Transport Minister, Catherine King, told ABC Radio in Sydney that an EU-style “pay-on-delay” compensation scheme would drive up airfares in Australia. The federal government has proposed airline customer protections, and the Minister's comments come after a consultation period ended. EU 261 requires that airlines pay passengers compensation for delays and cancellations within their control. King feels the Australian market is too small to sustain such a measure. “It is costly to administer compensation schemes. Those costs are generally passed on to passengers,” she said. Fliers without a compliant ID will have to pay TSA $45 next year The TSA says that starting in February 1, 2026, air travelers in the U.S. without a REAL ID will be charged a $45 fee. The initially planned $18 fee was raised after officials realized this identification program would cost more than anticipated. The fee applies to travelers 18 and older who are flying domestically without a REAL ID or other accepted form of ID. The non-refundable fee will be required to verify identity through the TSA Confirm.ID system. Confirm.ID replaces TSA's older manual “forgot my ID” procedures. It's a more automated, technology‑assisted process that uses a traveler's biographic and possibly biometric information to verify identity and screen against watchlists. Confirm.ID is meant as a last‑resort option for people who arrive at the checkpoint without a compliant ID, not as a routine substitute for REAL ID or a passport. The fee can be paid online before arriving at the airport. Travelers can also pay online at the airport before entering the security line, but officials said the process may take up to 30 minutes.

Justin Lin, known for his work on the Fast and Furious franchise, is officially set to direct Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions' live-action Helldivers movie. With a script from Gary Dauberman, Lin is reportedly focusing on character, world-building, and thematic depth as he brings the popular Arrowhead Game Studios franchise to film. The long-anticipated Amazon God of War TV series is now moving into pre-production, with Frederick E.O. Toye directing the first two episodes. Casting has begun for Kratos and Atreus, putting to rest ongoing speculation about who will take on the lead roles. Toye's previous work on Shogun, The Boys, Westworld, and Watchmen signals a high-quality adaptation. Meanwhile, recent rumors linking Christopher Judge to the role have been dismissed. A mysterious statue discovered in the Mojave Desert, tied to a teaser from Geoff Keighley, has sparked intense speculation about what game it represents. Fans have theorized connections to God of War, Diablo, Fallout, Doom, Baldur's Gate, and even Half-Life due to nearby road names, but multiple insiders have ruled out several of these possibilities. The statue continues to generate discussion as more clues appear. Industry commentary also includes discussion around claims from HipHopGamer regarding a new PlayStation experience that could feature elements from all generations of PlayStation hardware and include a social component reminiscent of PlayStation Home. This speculation opens broader conversations about what PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gaming may look like in the next hardware cycle. The controversy involving Bungie's Marathon art dispute has reached a resolution, with artist Fern “4nt1r34l” Hook stating that the issue has been resolved to her satisfaction. Bungie previously acknowledged that a former employee had used her work without permission during the game's early development and removed the affected assets from the project. Yacht Club Games, the studio behind Shovel Knight, is facing a critical moment as it prepares for the release of Mina the Hollower. According to Bloomberg, the studio's future stability depends heavily on the game's sales performance. With the team having downsized and paused work on a separate 3D Shovel Knight project, the success of Mina the Hollower may determine the direction of the studio moving forward. Additional updates include a significant reduction to Helldivers 2's PC install size, a new limited-edition Genshin Impact DualSense controller for PS5, the soft launch of MLB The Show Mobile on iOS and Android, and new accusations that Sony used generative AI artwork for its PlayStation Advent Calendar promotional campaign. This episode brings together the biggest stories shaping PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and the wider gaming industry, with insight into upcoming adaptations, studio challenges, production reveals, and the future direction of gaming.
In the desolate Mojave Desert, Edwards Air Force Base is home to America's most advanced and secretive aircraft, a place where the boundaries of technology are pushed daily.

Reports of rap music's demise have been greatly exaggerated. The rap game is alive and well, especially in the indie world, which is thriving right now. As 2025 has moved forward, the list of real album of the year contenders keeps getting longer. The Backwoodz cinematic universe continues to release great music at an unreal pace. While billy woods' Golliwog and the new Golliwog remix album are still in heavy rotation, Armand Hammer have returned with a new album called Mercy, produced entirely by The Alchemist. On this week's episode, the three bad brothers you know so well share their first reactions to Mercy and to the August Fanon-produced Golliwog remix record. It's not all Backwoodz talk, though. The bros sit down with rapper and producer Chester Watson to discuss his influences, his ballet roots, and his new beat tape and crew project, Psychic Warfare Department. They wrap up the episode by talking about Outkast's recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Nate's vision quest into the Mojave Desert, where he caught a live set from the homies Open Mike Eagle and Video Dave.

On his debut episode of the California Now Podcast, new host Josh Meyers dives head-first into the weird and wonderful folklore that stretches across this state from the hub of spiritual tourism in Mount Shasta to UFO sightings in the Mojave Desert. First up, Meyers chats with Zach O'Brien, founder of the digital publication Active NorCal. A Lemurian expert, O'Brien explains how Northern California's mystical landscape inspires imagination and legend, noting that “as soon as you get into these different areas of Northern California — be it Mount Shasta, the Redwoods, or Lake Tahoe — there's a palpable feeling, and so much can run wild in your imagination when you see these places.”The conversation then turns to one of the most enduring legends: Bigfoot. O'Brien also touches on Tahoe's “Tessie” and where travelers can explore these myths firsthand. Next, Meyers heads south to the Mojave Desert to chat with Ken Layne, host of the radio show The Desert Oracle. Together, they break down the haunting story of Yucca Man. “Yucca Man is one name for a phenomenon that's been experienced all over the world in wild, desolate places—eight feet tall, colorless, with glowing red eyes and a terrible roar,” Layne explains. Layne also recounts a chilling close encounter of his own on a stretch of desert highway. “I slowed down, stopped, and those lights just sat there behind me — then backed away at impossible speed, eight miles down the grade in seconds.” The region's otherworldly landmarks are also accounted for as Layne plots out some of more surreal spectacles tucked away behind the desert foothills, from the mysterious Giant Rock near Landers to the iconic Integratron in nearby Joshua Tree, a hand-built dome said (by some) to channel alien energy.
Aaron Johnson is a powerful social activist and thought leader dedicated to fostering environments where Black-bodied individuals can fully express themselves. His TED Talk, “Chronically Undertouched,” highlights the profound absence of safe, loving, platonic touch in the lives of many Black men. His work is rooted in addressing this deep cultural and emotional wound. Aaron helps men of African descent transition from being chronically undertouched to developing personalized “touch plans,” creating practices that honor safety, connection, and dignity. Beyond individual guidance, Aaron cultivates retreats and workshops on Black-owned land in the Mojave Desert, where BIPOC communities can gather for healing, meditation, song, and collective renewal. In this episode, host Shay Beider and Aaron Johnson dive into the profound impact of platonic touch for Black men and BIPOC communities. Aaron shares his personal journey of reclaiming touch and accepting his tears after confronting the deep cultural barriers shaped by history, racism, and social conditioning. Aaron introduces his “Touch Plan” framework, starting with deep listening, grounding practices, singing, and gradually introducing platonic touch with consent and presence. This conversation also touches on the role of culture, history, and collective healing, highlighting Aaron's retreats, workshops, and films, including Dark and Tender, which documents men of African descent rediscovering tenderness, connection, and emotional expression. The conversation highlights how nurturing physical and emotional connection can support holistic wellness, resilience, and collective empowerment.

Our very own Greg Franklin just won the Best Director, Animation award at the Jane Austen International Film Festival for the short film THE WHISTLE, which also took home the award for Best Animation! Congratulations Greg! So to celebrate, Greg is programming this episode, but he's not letting the prestige go to his head! He's bringing on the MIDCENTURY SLEAZE in what he promises is a return to this podcast's exploitation roots after we sunk to new highs in our last episode with NATIONAL VELVET. First, the immortal Tura Satana and her gang of fast-drivin', karate-choppin' go-go dancers cut a swath of mayhem through the Mojave Desert in boob-meister Russ Meyer's masterpiece FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! (1965). This is Meyer's first appearance on the podcast, which only confirms Greg's assertions that we've lost our way over here. FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! is streaming on Roku Channel. Then, we dig ourselves even deeper underground with SINS OF THE FLESHAPOIDS (1965), a bit of microbudget weirdness from the bizarre minds of brothers Mike and George Kuchar. This sci-fi dystopia takes place a million years in the future when lazy-assed humans leave all the work to human-like robots called fleshaopids. Can these discount androids find love? It only takes 45-minutes to find out--a major selling point for Philena. SINS OF THE FLESHAPOIDS is streaming on tubi. John Waters has called both of Greg's picks "the best movie ever made," which is refreshing after all the horse movies and hippie musicals. In our opening segment, Greg tells us more about THE WHISTLE, and we discuss the ongoing end of TikTok and Stan Lee's AI avatar--coming to a comic con near you! NEXT EPISODE: Cory is on tour so cannabis comic Ngaio Bealum returns for our HALLOWEED EPISODE with ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948) and Vincent Price in THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES (1971).

Joshua Josue was such a pleasure to talk to and to learn about! We chatted about how he was first inspired by the “La Bamba” movie and Los Lobos and knew he wanted to be a musician. We also talked about his new album “Beneath the Sand,” writing in English vs. Spanish, and his dog Bogart. Recorded in the Mojave Desert, Joshua Josue's “Beneath the Sand” features an all-star lineup of musical guests, including: Roly Salley (GRAMMY-winning writer, The Chris Isaak Band), Mitch Marine (Dwight Yoakam's band), Hershel Yatovitz (Chris Isaak's band), Steve Berlin (LosLobos), Joel Guzmán (Los Super Seven), and Murry Hammond (The Old 97's).Joshua's lyrical journey – written largely on the open road through Mexico andCentral America – is as deeply personal as it is universal. Songs like the title track "Beneath the Sand," born from a year of grief-stricken travels, capture the essence of transformation in vivid, cinematic detail. The album is rich in both English and Spanish, reflecting Joshua's multiculturalupbringing and his artistic fusion of Americana and Chicano influences.With two tracks from the album already under consideration for GRAMMY nominations, Beneath the Sand is poised to make a significant impact.

Listeners, please see the introductory video on the Avealto website, www.avealto.com.Walt Andereson, CEO and Co-founder of AVEALTO, was our guest for this program. We focused on Walt's company's progress in developing high-altitude communication platforms to provide affordable internet access to underserved areas, including discussions about funding, regulatory approvals, and technical capabilities. Later, other topics were explored including Mars colonization, satellite technology, and frequency reuse strategies, with Walt presenting his company's terrestrial communication technology as a cost-effective alternative to satellite services. The conversation concluded with discussions about investment opportunities and upcoming events, including an art exhibition featuring aerospace-related artwork.Concerning program detail, Walt talked about his company's progress and future plans. Walt explained that they are close to securing funding for their first three vehicles, with a term sheet signed and due diligence underway. He mentioned their plans to operate in Malaysia, where they have received positive responses from regulators and a potential customer. Walt expressed hope that the funding will go through, as they have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.Walt shared the introductory video referenced above explaining Avealto' s platform, which provides affordable internet access to underserved areas by deploying platforms 20 kilometers above Earth. They briefly touched on space exploration, with Walt expressing skepticism about the feasibility of long-term human habitation on Mars and advocating for O'Neill colonies instead.Walt presented Avealto's new telecom technology that uses high-altitude platforms at 20,000 meters to provide internet service to remote areas. Unlike traditional satellites, Avealto's platforms offer low latency and low power consumption, allowing for affordable connectivity in areas currently unserved by traditional means. Walt explained that the company has developed test vehicles and is working with UK-based manufacturers to build the final 331-foot-long vehicles, which will be launched and maintained to provide coverage for 45,000 square kilometers. The technology aims to compete with satellite operators by offering 75-80% lower costs, targeting telecom operators and direct home users in underserved regions.Walt explained the supply and pricing of helium, noting that while it's a byproduct of natural gas, its limited commercial uses make it expensive. He discussed their balloon-based communication platform's coverage capabilities, highlighting its potential to provide connectivity in underserved areas like the Mojave Desert and remote regions worldwide. Walt also addressed regulatory considerations, explaining that as an unmanned aerial vehicle, they operate under aviation regulations which are increasingly harmonized globally, and described their experience with high-altitude operations, including navigating the jet stream and military airspace.Walt discussed the regulatory and technical challenges of using frequencies in Southeast Asia, highlighting successful negotiations with Malaysian regulators and plans to expand to other countries like Indonesia and the Philippines. He explained the limitations of their solar-powered technology, which currently operates within 30 degrees of the equator, and mentioned a potential future partnership with Electric Sky to overcome these constraints. Walt also shared that they recently secured funding to build their factory in the UK and are on track to begin operations in Malaysia within 23 months, with plans to produce and deploy multiple vehicles to address the digital divide.Walt explained his company's terrestrial communication technology, which provides high-capacity, low-latency connectivity at a lower cost than satellite services like Starlink. He noted that while they have many MOUs, securing long-term contracts is challenging due to the commoditized nature of the satellite industry. Walt emphasized that their technology offers superior quality compared to satellite-based services, as it provides dedicated, non-contended capacity to serve towers and infrastructure rather than individual devices. He also clarified that they do not pursue military contracts, citing ethical and commercial reasons, and instead focus on providing affordable connectivity to underserved areas globally.The group, consisting of Space Show supporters Marshall Martin and Joe Pistritto, discussed space colonization options, with Walt advocating for O'Neill colonies in space over Mars settlement due to Mars' 38% gravity and lack of valuable resources. Walt expressed concerns about Elon Musk's Mars plans, noting that solving Earth's climate change would be 100 times cheaper than terraforming Mars. Joe shared his interest in Mars settlement while Marshall suggested farming could be a key activity on Mars. The discussion concluded with concerns about payload capabilities, with Joe noting that reliable, affordable large-payload launches are crucial for both O'Neill colonies and Mars missions.Walt discussed the challenges and opportunities in the satellite internet market, emphasizing the limited profitability of deploying large numbers of satellites due to replacement and maintenance costs. He highlighted the potential for competition with other companies and the need to efficiently use available frequencies to meet growing demand. Walt also mentioned a business model involving backup service for urban areas and the possibility of expanding capacity in the future. He concluded by pitching a convertible note investment opportunity to private investors, offering a 20% discount on a larger deal.Walt discussed his company's plans to reuse frequencies for satellite communications, explaining how they can avoid interference by using low-power signals and focusing on ground-level communications rather than satellite links. He noted that while the FCC would be challenging to work with, there are many countries eager to solve their digital divide through this technology. The group also discussed streaming services' impact on bandwidth usage, with Joe sharing his experience as an early Starlink user in California's Amador County. David provided information about an upcoming art exhibition in Fairfax, Virginia featuring an aerospace engineer's work, and Walt expressed interest in attending the opening reception.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Desert raptors get most of their water from eating prey animals. Biologist Blair Wolf explains, “if you think of any insect or a mouse or something like that, they're maybe 75% water.” Those animals become less plentiful in a hotter, drier climate. Extreme warming poses a direct danger to the raptors (such as this Harris's Hawk) and leads to lower rates of reproduction. Lacking sufficient water, they may not be able to produce eggs, and there must be enough food for their nestlings to thrive.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

In which a 700-year-old Venusian designs a mysterious whitewashed dome in the Mojave Desert, and John would like to change history at the mutiny on the Bounty. Certificate #13181.
When the navigation app suggested a route that would cut almost an hour off their drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, Shelby Easler and her brother followed the alternate directions. However, the “short cut” led them along a dirt path for hours that left them stranded in California’s Mojave Desert during a dust storm. They were able to reverse course, but they eventually had to be towed because of all the damage to their car from the rough terrain. The app developer apologized to the numerous travelers who followed those wrong directions. It's important who we rely on for guidance. As believers in Jesus, we’ve been given the Holy Spirt to lead and direct us in matters of truth. When Jesus knew that He’d soon die and be taken from His disciples, He assured them He wouldn’t leave them stranded. He urged His disciples to obey His commands and spoke of the promised Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of truth, who would be with them forever and live inside of them (John 14:15-17). “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (v. 26). Let’s continue to follow the Holy Spirit’s prompting as we go throughout our day. We know He’ll never lead us astray.

A twisting, deeply engrossing investigation into the many lingering questions surrounding the sudden disappearance of the McStays, a family of four who vanished from their suburban San Diego home without a trace—until their skeletal remains were found in the Mojave Desert nearly four years later—from New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Rother.On February 15, 2010, Joseph McStay, his wife Summer, and their two young sons were reported missing from their new home in San Diego County. They left eggs and fruit rotting on the counter. Their Dodge truck sat in the driveway. Their dogs were abandoned outside without food. But investigators found no blood, signs of a struggle, or clues to their whereabouts. Did the family take an unannounced vacation? Were they running away from personal problems? Or were they victims of foul play? Nearly four years later, a motorcyclist found the McStays' remains in and around two shallow graves, one hundred miles away in the Mojave Desert. Their skulls showed signs of blunt-force trauma, likely due to the sledgehammer buried with them. Authorities focused on Charles "Chase" Merritt, a close friend and subcontractor for Joseph's company. Despite a lack of physical evidence, scenarios that defied logic, and numerous unanswered questions, prosecutors convinced a jury of Merritt's guilt. After an emotional sentencing hearing, the judge imposed the death penalty. But did another possible suspect, who was ignored by investigators and ducked a subpoena to testify, get away with murder?In this twisting, deeply researched true-crime mystery, New York Times bestselling investigative journalist Caitlin Rother hunts for answers to reveal the truth behind a heinous crime that became a nation's obsession, with a controversial trial in its wake, and lingering questions of justice.Joining me to discuss, DOWN TO THE BONE: A Missing Family's Murder and the Elusive Quest for Justice—Caitlin Rother
