The note stated that she died not long after being taken and that her body was buried somewhere out in nature. This information comes from sources close to the investigation and was first highlighted in recent reporting by NBC News.

The Guthrie family got these two notes soon after Nancy went missing. The first one asked for a cryptocurrency ransom in exchange for her safe return. Details about the second message stayed private until now. According to ABC News reports it carried a much darker tone with no demands for money and no apology.

Nancy was last seen at her home in Tucson Arizona on January 31. Just a couple of days later authorities described the scene inside her house as very concerning and said they believed she had been abducted.0

Early in the search the FBI released doorbell camera footage showing a possible suspect breaking into the home. A person of interest was briefly detained but then let go. Since then unfortunately there has been very little new progress in finding Nancy.

Savannah Guthrie has been open about how tough it is to return to work while her mother remains missing. She recently filled in on the Today show and shared with co host Jenna Bush Hager that seeing familiar faces each morning helps her get through the days even when her heart is breaking. She tries to hold it together for the job but admits the pain is always there.

This latest revelation adds another layer of sorrow to a case that has already captured national attention and left the Guthrie family and their supporters hoping for answers. The investigation continues as authorities work to bring clarity and justice for Nancy.

If your pillow often ends up with saliva stains, especially if you’re a side sleeper, it’s worth taking a closer look. There can be several reasons behind it, and figuring out the root cause is the first step toward drier nights and better sleep.

What Causes Drooling During Sleep?

You might be surprised to learn that our saliva production actually slows down while we sleep. So why does the drooling happen? A big part of it comes down to gravity and how our mouth and muscles relax.

Here are some of the most common culprits:

Sleeping Position Matters
People who sleep on their side or stomach tend to drool more than back sleepers. When your mouth falls open and gravity pulls saliva downward, it can easily leak out. Mouth breathing, which often goes hand in hand with certain positions, makes the problem worse because relaxed muscles let everything flow more freely.

Night Guards or Dental Devices
If you wear a night guard for teeth grinding, it can sometimes feel awkward and trigger more drooling, especially while your mouth adjusts to having something in it overnight.

Acid Reflux or GERD
Stomach acid that creeps up into your throat can irritate the area and lead to extra saliva as your body tries to protect itself.

Nasal Congestion or Sinus Issues
A stuffy nose from allergies, a cold, or sinus problems forces you to breathe through your mouth, which opens the door for drooling.

Tonsillitis or Throat Inflammation
Swollen tonsils or other inflammation can affect how you swallow and lead to saliva buildup.

Swallowing Difficulties
Conditions like dysphagia make it harder to swallow saliva naturally, even during the day, and this can carry over into sleep.

Medications
Certain drugs, including some antibiotics or sedatives, can increase saliva production or relax your mouth muscles as a side effect.

Neurological Conditions
Issues affecting the nerves, jaw, or facial muscles can play a role, as can allergic reactions that ramp up saliva.

Sleep Apnea
This serious condition often involves mouth breathing and interrupted sleep, which can contribute to heavy drooling. If you suspect apnea, it’s important to talk to a doctor.

Practical Ways to Stop Drooling While Sleeping

The best approach depends on what’s triggering the issue for you, but these steps help many people see real improvement:

Switch Up Your Sleeping Position
Training yourself to sleep on your back can make a huge difference. Gravity works in your favor here, keeping saliva in your mouth where it belongs. It might take some getting used to if you’re a dedicated side sleeper, but a supportive pillow or body pillow can help you stay in place.

Consider a Mandibular Advancement Device
These oral appliances look similar to night guards but are designed to keep your airway open, reduce snoring, and limit drooling.

CPAP Therapy for Sleep Apnea
If apnea is part of the picture, a CPAP machine can improve breathing and posture, which often cuts down on drooling too.

Botox Injections
Some people get temporary relief from Botox around the salivary glands or mouth area. It’s not a permanent fix, but it can buy time while you address other causes.

Surgery as a Last Resort
In cases involving neurological conditions, removing or rerouting salivary glands is sometimes an option, though doctors usually recommend trying gentler solutions first.

Dos and Don’ts for Managing Drooling

Do:
Stay well hydrated throughout the day.
Work on improving your overall sleep habits and posture.
Remember that drooling is common and nothing to feel ashamed about.
See a doctor or dentist if it’s really bothering you.

For babies and toddlers, drooling is completely normal as they grow, so there’s no need to worry.

Don’t:
Rely on alcohol or recreational drugs, which can make muscle control worse.
Start new medications without professional guidance.

Common Questions About Sleep Drooling

Is it normal to drool while sleeping?
Yes, a little is totally common and usually harmless, especially during deep sleep when your face muscles are relaxed and your mouth might open.

Why do I drool more on my side?
Gravity simply pulls the saliva out when you’re lying sideways. Back sleeping helps keep it inside.

Can drooling signal a bigger health issue?
It can sometimes point to nasal problems, reflux, allergies, or sleep apnea. If it’s sudden, heavy, or comes with other symptoms like snoring or trouble swallowing, get it checked.

Does it mean I’m in deep sleep?
Often yes. That full-body relaxation makes drooling more likely.

Can a blocked nose cause it?
Absolutely. Mouth breathing is a major contributor.

Do medicines play a role?
Some do, particularly ones that relax muscles or boost saliva.

How can I stop it?
Start with posture changes, treat any congestion, stay hydrated, and talk to a professional if needed.

Is it always too much saliva?
Not necessarily. It’s often just poor swallowing and mouth position during sleep.

When should I see a doctor?
If it’s severe, new, or paired with facial weakness, choking, or breathing issues.

Final Thoughts

Waking up with a wet pillow isn’t anything to feel weird about. For most people, it’s just part of deep sleep and relaxed muscles. Simple changes like adjusting your sleeping position or addressing allergies and congestion often solve it. If it keeps happening, a quick visit to your dentist or doctor can point you toward the right fix.

Share this with anyone who might be dealing with the same thing. Better sleep is worth it. Sweet dreams and drier pillows ahead!

Barron Trump grew up largely shielded from the spotlight. At 20, he is pursuing studies at NYU’s Stern Business School on its Washington campus and is often described as a quiet, private young man who rarely seeks attention.

Throughout his childhood and during his father’s time in the White House, Barron has always held a special place in the family. Donald once joked that he would not be the one changing diapers when Barron was a baby, leaving that to Melania while focusing on helping raise him into a fine person.

In public, Trump has occasionally shared warm glimpses of his youngest son, talking about his impressive height and passion for soccer. During the campaign for his second term, Barron reportedly played a bigger role behind the scenes, helping his dad connect with younger voters through podcasters and online influencers.

When Trump won the election, he took a moment during a big gathering of supporters in Washington to praise his son. “He knew the youth vote,” Trump said. “You know we won the youth vote by 36 points. He was saying, dad, I got to go out and do this and that one and we did a lot of them. He respects them all, he understood it very well. He said dad, you got to go out and do Joe Rogan, all these guys that we did. They were all great, right? Barron, they were all great.”

Not much is known about the private side of their relationship, but it turns out nicknames have been part of it. Melania once shared that she used to call her son “Little Donald,” describing him as a strong-minded, smart, independent boy who knows exactly what he wants.

So what about Donald? According to a new book, he has an unexpectedly sweet nickname for his tall, grown son. In their upcoming title Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan share that the president calls Barron “Honey.”

The moment reportedly happened after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Worried, Barron called his father right away. Trump responded calmly, saying something like “Calm down, honey, calm down.”

This glimpse into their bond has sparked plenty of reactions online, with many people finding the tender nickname both surprising and touching coming from the often tough-talking former president.

I lost my eight year old son Randy just one week before Mother’s Day. Everyone around me called it a terrible accident that no one could have stopped. I tried my best to accept that because I knew holding onto anger or blame would make it even harder to keep going.

Still there was one detail that kept bothering me. On the day Randy died his bright red Spider-Man backpack vanished. It might sound small compared to losing your child but that backpack meant the world to him. He carried it everywhere and even slept near it the night before a field trip so he wouldn’t forget it in the morning.

Suddenly it was gone.

His teacher Ms. Bell said she never saw it after the ambulance left. The principal told me they had searched every classroom and hallway. The officer who came to our house always looked uncomfortable when I asked about it. He gently said that sometimes things get misplaced during an incident like that. I sat across the kitchen table from him and pressed him again. My son is gone because of what happened at school yet the one thing he had with him that day disappeared right after.

He had no answer for me. No one did.

And then Mother’s Day arrived like a storm I wasn’t ready for. Every year Randy would make me breakfast himself usually spilling milk everywhere and bringing in flowers from the yard with dirt still on the roots. That morning I sat alone in the living room with his dinosaur blanket across my lap and an empty cereal bowl on the coffee table. The house felt too quiet.

Around nine o’clock the doorbell rang. I ignored it at first because I couldn’t face another sympathy card or pitying look. The ringing continued and then came loud knocking. I finally dragged myself to the door ready for whatever it was.

When I opened it a little girl stood there clutching Randy’s backpack with both hands. She looked about eight or nine with messy hair and eyes full of tears.

As soon as I saw that familiar Spider-Man fabric my heart nearly stopped.

“Are you Randy’s mom?” she asked.

I could only nod.

“I know you’ve been looking for this” she said.

She held it tighter.

“Randy told me to keep it safe. He was my best friend.”

“What’s your name sweetheart?”

“Sarah.”

I invited her inside. She hesitated but finally stepped into the kitchen still carrying the bag like it was something precious. “I didn’t steal it” she said quickly.

“I believe you” I replied.

“I was protecting it for him.”

Those words broke my heart all over again.

Sarah placed the backpack on the kitchen table. “Open it” she told me.

My hands shook as I unzipped it. Inside I found balls of lavender and white yarn knitting needles and some tissue paper wrapped around something soft.

I carefully pulled it out. It was a handmade unicorn or at least it was trying to be one. One leg was missing the body tilted oddly and the horn sat crooked.

“It was Randy’s gift for you” Sarah said fast. “From craft class.”

I stared at the lopsided little unicorn in disbelief. “Why a unicorn?” I whispered. “Randy loved dinosaurs.”

Sarah wiped her nose on her sleeve. “He said you liked them.”

The ache hit me hard. Months earlier I had joked about loving unicorns and drinking coffee from an old unicorn mug. The fact that he remembered that left me speechless.

Under the yarn I found a folded Mother’s Day card in Randy’s messy handwriting.

Mom
It’s not done yet. Don’t laugh.
Sarah says the horn is the hardest part.
I love you more than cereal breakfasts.
Love Randy.

A sound escaped me before I could stop it. Sarah started crying too.

Then in a small voice she added “There’s more.”

At the bottom of the bag was a crumpled piece of paper someone had tried to hide. I unfolded it slowly.

Dear Mom
I’m sorry I ruined the Mother’s Day wall.
I know you’re tired of problems.
But I promise I’m not bad.
Love Randy.

I looked at Sarah confused. “What is this?”

She stared at her shoes. “Ms. Bell made him write it.”

A chill ran through me. “When?”

“Before he fell.”

The kitchen went quiet.

Sarah explained that another boy Tyler had spilled paint on the Mother’s Day display and ruined some decorations. Randy got blamed because he was holding glue while helping Sarah with her project. “He kept saying he didn’t do it” she whispered. “He said you knew he wasn’t a liar.”

I looked back at the note seeing how hard he must have pressed the pencil. My son spent his last moments worried that he had disappointed me.

“Did anything else happen?” I asked.

Sarah put her hand on her chest. “He told me his chest felt squished again.”

“Again?”

She nodded still crying. “Yes but he said not to tell you because you were sick.”

I could barely breathe. Randy had been hiding chest pains from me so I wouldn’t worry.

Sarah wiped her tears. “I told him to drink water. My grandpa says water helps when something hurts.”

I knelt in front of her. “You were trying to help him.”

“But it didn’t work.”

“No” I said softly. “But you were kind to him and that matters.”

Sarah told me Randy tried to put the unicorn back in his backpack because he didn’t want me to see the apology note before the gift. Then he collapsed. Teachers shouted paramedics rushed in and the kids were hurried out of the room.

Through all the chaos the backpack stayed under the table. “Before it happened he told me to protect it until Mother’s Day” Sarah said quietly. “That’s why I took it home. I was scared the grown ups would throw it away.”

Instead of answering I pulled her into a tight hug while she sobbed against me. That backpack held everything left of my boy’s heart. It wasn’t just the unfinished unicorn. It was proof of who he was in his final hours kind thoughtful and always thinking of others.

After Sarah calmed down I asked who looked after her. “Grandpa” she said. I called him and he arrived an hour later looking tired and worried. He apologized for her showing up unannounced but I shook my head. “She gave me something very special.”

The next morning I took the backpack back to school with the apology note the half finished unicorn and the card inside. Ms. Bell met me in the hallway and looked shocked when she saw it. I handed her the note. “This is what my son wrote before he died” I told her quietly.

She covered her mouth with her hands.

I asked straight out if Randy had really ruined the display. After a long pause she admitted the truth. “No” she whispered. “He didn’t.”

Sarah held my hand as we stood there. I looked Ms. Bell in the eyes and said the only thing that needed saying. “I don’t blame you for what happened to my son. But the last thing you made him feel was shame for something he never did.”

Three days later the school held its Mother’s Day event. Before it started Ms. Bell stood up and publicly admitted that Randy had been wrongly blamed.

It didn’t take away my pain. Nothing could.

Then Sarah walked to the front holding a small gift bag. Inside was the finished unicorn. It was still a bit crooked with a lopsided horn and one ear bigger than the other but to me it was perfect.

“I finished it for him” Sarah said softly. “Almost.”

That Mother’s Day I thought I had lost the last pieces of my son forever. Instead a brave little girl brought his backpack to my door and inside it Randy left behind the most beautiful reminder that love finds a way to stay even after everything.

The event took place on June 18, right around the time of the first anniversary of Ozzy’s passing at age 76. Sharon took to Instagram that day to share her regrets along with a video of the stunning sculpture.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t be at Hellfest for the unveiling of Ozzy’s statue,” she wrote. “Unfortunately I had an unexpected trip to the hospital earlier in the week.”

She made sure to express her gratitude to everyone involved. Sharon thanked Olivier Garnier, Ben Barbaud, and the whole Hellfest team, along with a special shoutout to sculptor Philippe Pasqua for creating such a beautiful piece.

While she didn’t go into specifics about her latest hospital visit, fans know Sharon has always been pretty open about her health challenges over the years. Back in late 2022, she had a scary medical emergency that landed her in the hospital. A month later, she recalled on The Talk how she had passed out during filming and ended up getting thoroughly checked out at multiple facilities, though doctors never pinpointed exactly what caused it.

Even without being there in person, Sharon is doing everything she can to keep Ozzy’s memory alive. She and their son Jack have been working on plans for an AI avatar of the rock legend. As she explained at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, people will be able to chat with it and hear responses in Ozzy’s own voice, based on what he would actually say.

When some folks criticized the idea, Sharon pushed back during an episode of The Osbournes podcast. She made it clear this wasn’t about money but about preserving her husband’s spirit for the family, especially their grandkids.

Ozzy Osbourne, born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham, England, in 1948, became a heavy metal icon as the frontman of Black Sabbath. His life was full of highs and lows, from his early marriages and battles with addiction to his long, loving relationship with Sharon. Together they raised Aimee, Kelly, and Jack while navigating the chaos of fame through their reality show and beyond. Ozzy continued performing despite health struggles like Parkinson’s until his final Black Sabbath show in 2025, passing away shortly after.

Sharon herself built an impressive career managing bands and becoming a familiar face on TV as a judge and host. Like Ozzy, she faced her own health battles, including colon cancer in 2002 and a preventive double mastectomy years later. Through it all, their bond remained strong, with Sharon often calling them two oddballs who found each other and made it work.

The Osbourne family continues to honor his legacy in their own ways, keeping his spirit alive for generations to come.

The two women visited Camp Lejeune, the biggest Marine Corps base on the East Coast. They connected with families there and stopped by Lejeune High School, where they chatted with students and took part in conversations about artificial intelligence.

Melania gave a short speech in the school gymnasium to express her appreciation for the sacrifices military families make every day. Unfortunately, the talk got off to a bumpy start when the microphone started feeding back loudly, forcing her to pause and hand it off until the issue was sorted out.

Once everything was working again, she told the crowd, “I want to thank you, all of you, because you are military families behind our nation’s defense, and thank you for your service. My husband, the president, is sending best regards. We are both thinking of you, and you’re in our thoughts and prayers for holidays, every day, but especially for the holidays.”

The discussion at the high school centered on AI, a topic Melania has addressed before. Back in September, she hosted a White House Task Force meeting on Artificial Intelligence Education as part of her Be Best initiative, where she highlighted important links between the technology and protecting children.

This time, standing in front of Marines and their loved ones, she spoke with real gravity about how AI could reshape the battlefield. “AI will alter war more profoundly than any technology since nuclear weapons,” Melania said. She explained that in future conflicts, speed will be everything as systems become increasingly automated. “Artificial Intelligence will take center stage in the theater of war.”

Her words left many thinking about the rapid changes technology is bringing to national security and how we prepare for them.

The Morning Show actress, now 57, posted a heartfelt message on Instagram the following day. She opened up about how much he meant to her and the rest of the cast, calling him “Papa Burrows.”

“Oh boy… Papa Burrows,” she began. “The hardest thing about writing this is that you spent a lifetime making people feel loved, and now it feels impossible to put all of that love into a few paragraphs.”

Aniston recalled how Burrows would affectionately refer to her and the Friends cast as “the kids.” He would joke around by asking, “Where are the kids?” or say things like, “Let’s see if the kids can make the joke work,” adding a bit of playful pressure that they all appreciated.

She highlighted how generous his own children were in sharing him with everyone else fortunate enough to know him. “He was a father figure to me,” Aniston wrote. “He always checked in on me. He worried about me, celebrated me, taught me, guided me, and held me through the hardest times and the best of times. He spoiled us rotten.”

Beyond that, she emphasized the deeper lessons he passed on. “Most of all, he taught us, the kids, how important it is to love and respect one another. To take care of each other. To have each other’s backs and support each other, no matter what. And we did just that.”

Aniston wrapped up her message with warmth and a touch of sadness. “I miss your voice. I miss your laugh. I miss your brilliance. Wherever you are, I hope someone is asking, ‘Where are the kids?’”

Along with her words, she included several photos from over the years. One showed the two of them sharing a warm hug at an awards event. Another was the iconic shot Burrows himself took of the full Friends cast on a plane heading to Las Vegas back in 1994, right before the pilot episode aired.

There were also more recent images, like a casual selfie of them reuniting behind the scenes, plus a fun moment where Aniston made a silly face while David Schwimmer posed with Burrows at some gathering.

Aniston is not the only one remembering him fondly. Other Friends stars like Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc have shared their own tributes as well. Burrows leaves behind an incredible legacy from directing hits like Cheers and Will & Grace, and he will be deeply missed by so many in the industry and beyond.

President Trump arrived at the 2026 G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, where world leaders had gathered to talk about economic issues and global challenges. French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte were there to greet him, and their interaction quickly caught everyone’s attention.

Trump and Emmanuel Macron have a long history of those famously firm handshakes that sometimes look like a contest of strength. This time though, it was Brigitte who found herself in the middle of it. After greeting her with kisses on both cheeks, Trump held onto her hand for around 14 seconds while her husband placed a hand on Trump’s back.

Videos of the exchange spread fast on social media. Many people called the handshake awkward, with one observer joking about it as a “weird handshake tug of war.” Others had stronger opinions, describing the moment as inappropriate, while some saw it differently.

As Brigitte tried to pull her hand away, Trump seemed in no rush to let go, which added to the buzz online.

The timing made it even more interesting. Just a couple of months earlier, Trump had made some pointed remarks about Brigitte and her marriage during a private event. He had criticized France’s stance on certain international matters and took a jab at the Macrons’ relationship.

According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, who spoke with the Daily Mail, there was more to the greeting than just the handshake. She suggested Trump first told Emmanuel Macron something along the lines of “I’m ready for tonight” and then “Pleasure.” Turning to Brigitte, she claimed he said “Hello, sweetheart.” Brigitte reportedly replied with “Happy birthday,” noting that Trump had just turned 80.

Body language expert Judi James also weighed in. She observed that Trump seemed particularly focused on Brigitte, greeting her warmly with open arms and cheek kisses, while Macron tried to join in more actively. James noted that even after the main greeting, Trump kept holding Brigitte’s hand as they moved along, with Macron following behind.

Of course, lip reading interpretations aren’t always perfect and haven’t been independently confirmed here, but the story has definitely fueled plenty of conversation given the recent history between Trump and the French leaders.

Michelle, now 62, stepped onto the stage in a light brown pencil skirt that featured a beautiful portrait of her late mother, Marian Robinson. It was a heartfelt tribute to the woman who had passed away in 2024 at the age of 86. The skirt had been custom made with help from Michelle’s longtime stylist, Meredith Koop.

In her speech, Michelle explained how much it meant to her. She said she was so proud of her husband and noticed right away that he was really affected by it. She gave him a moment because this skirt, with her favorite portrait of her mom on it, was something he had not seen until just minutes before.

Michelle gently placed her hand on Barack as he wiped away tears. She went on to say that she had spent a few weeks getting used to how special the skirt was, but it was hitting him hard for a very good reason. She added that her mom, Marian, would have been so proud of him as a son-in-law and the wonderful man he had always been to their family. Marian loved how he dreamed big and always found a way to make those dreams happen, especially for the South Side of Chicago. Michelle ended with a simple “I love you.”

While Michelle had known about the skirt for weeks, the moment Barack saw it in person during the event was the first time for him, and it clearly touched him deeply. He shared that he felt a little shaken because he loved his mother-in-law so much.

Marian Robinson had been known as America’s “first grandmother” during the Obama years. She played a big part in raising Malia and Sasha, and even when the family lived in the White House, she chose to stay out of the spotlight and focus on what mattered most to her, her loved ones.

Photos from the event quickly spread across social media, with many people praising the thoughtful gesture and the emotional reaction it brought out.

One person wrote that the skirt with her mom’s portrait made them cry and called it so lovely. Another described it as a masterpiece and said Michelle’s mother looked beautiful. A third simply called it one of a kind and beautiful.0

Of course, not everyone online agreed, with some commenting on body language or a kiss in the pictures, but others quickly defended the couple and highlighted how much love and care was there. It was a reminder of the strong bond the Obamas share and the lasting impact of family.

The statement included the powerful Tibetan Buddhism mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum,” which speaks to compassion and is often translated as “the jewel in the lotus.” The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.

Friends and admirers quickly offered their thoughts online. One meditation teacher called him a giant who built a meaningful bridge between Tibetan wisdom and the modern world. Another longtime student expressed deep gratitude, saying his teacher would live on in their hearts.

Robert Thurman spent three decades as the Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University. He earned high praise over the years, with The New York Times naming him the top American expert on Tibetan Buddhism and TIME magazine including him among the 25 most influential Americans back in 1997.

Beyond academia, he co-founded Tibet House US to help preserve and share Tibetan culture. In his own words, he credited the Tibetan people and the Dalai Lama for bringing sanity and purpose to his life. He often spoke about how Tibetan traditions embodied values like nonviolence, altruism, and education in a way that felt truly special.

He was married to Uma’s mother, Nena Thurman, since 1967. Together they raised four children: Uma, Ganden, Dechen, and Mipam. Robert also had a daughter, Taya, from an earlier marriage to Christophe de Menil.

His legacy stretches far beyond his family. Through his books, translations, and teaching, he introduced countless people to Buddhist thought while staying grounded in real life and human connections, including his pride in his daughter’s accomplishments. He will be remembered as someone who lived his principles with depth, humor, and genuine warmth.
