    26/10/2018 Duration: 40min

    (CNN) Law enforcement officials from New York to Florida are examining clues to find the person or persons who sent 10 packages containing what appear to be explosive materials to prominent Democrats, critics of President Donald Trump, and to CNN's New York offices as authorities classify the incidents as domestic terrorism. Three new packages were detected Thursday -- two intended for former Vice President Joe Biden and one for actor-director Robert DeNiro -- each bearing the same markings as the seven packages detected earlier this week. And authorities now believe several of the packages went through the Opa-locka, Florida, processing and distribution center, according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation. via Knit

    Two-thousand volunteers are combing several miles of rural Barron, Wisconsin, Tuesday in the hopes of finding clues in the case of missing 13-year-old Jayme Closs. As volunteers embarked on the ground search, they were told to keep their eyes open for anything that looked like it did not belong, like phones, weapons and clothing, said Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald. The death of a 61-year-old American tourist on the Turks and Caicos islands is being investigated as a murder, local authorities told ABC News. Marie Kuhnla was found on Tuesday morning in the bushes close to a resort near Leeward, a popular beach area located in the western region of the archipelago, the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force wrote on Facebook. She was pronounced dead less than an hour after she was found, police said.

    The 911 dispatcher's log from the morning that a 13-year-old girl went missing following her parents' murders in Wisconsin has revealed grim details about the ordeal and how quickly she may have vanished. Denise Closs, 46, and her husband James Closs, 56, were shot and killed in their Barron, Wisconsin home on Monday in a double murder that has shocked the nation. A Saudi operative put on journalist Jamal Khashoggi's clothes after his murder and walked out of the Saudi consulate and through the streets of Istanbul in an attempted coverup. The EXCLUSIVE video obtained by CNN adds to mounting questions about the holes in the Saudi explanation of the journalist's death. Prosecutors continue to interrogate the staff of the Istanbul consulate on Monday. US President Trump had told the Washington Post that the Saudi story was "all over the place" and that there has been deception and lies. via Knit

    Justin Schneider plead guilty to a count of felony assault after he drove an Alaska woman to a dark street, threatened to kill her, choked her until she was unconscious, and then proceeded to masturbate on her face. Having already spent a year in home confinement and being sentenced to two years in prison with one year suspended, Schneider now has no time left to serve for the assault. Now, there is an effort to oust the judge for giving Schneider too lenient of a sentence, and for not requiring that he register as a sex offender. Could Chris Watts have to reenact the murder of his wife Shanann Watts in court? Past trials, including that of Jodi Arias and Susan Wright have included court demonstrations of the murders to help prove or disprove the defense's claims. If Chris Watts stands by his story, that he found his wife strangling his two young daughters and proceeded to attack her, he may need to demonstrate to police how exactly those events transpired. Police are searching for missing Kierra Coles,

Wanda Barzee, Elizabeth Smart's captor, checked into a Salt Lake City hotel yesterday after being released from prison where she served for 15 years. The hotel is just miles from the home where Barzee's husband kidnapped 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart in 2002 in the middle of the night. The couple held Smart captive for nine months, starving her, force-feeding her drugs and alcohol and threatening to kill her if she fled.

    Is there a possible new "witness" to the Watts family murders? We look into whether an Apple watch could have tracked Shanann or Chris' movements the night of the killings. Plus, new details from the Colorado couple's friends after the accused killer dad was arrested. Did they have suspicions about Chris the night he stayed with them before his arrest? And we're learning 33-year-old Chris Watts actually spoke to his father multiple times in person before he was charged. Could Watts' dad be compelled to testify about what he knows? Elizabeth Smart, who was 14 at the time of her kidnapping, is revealing that her captor would touch her while she was being raped and laughed when she woke up in vomit after being forced to drink. That same captor, Wanda Barzee, is now a free woman thanks to the lawyer who argued that her time in federal prison should count toward her state conviction. Barzee is now 72-years-old but Smart is speaking out, saying she is still a threat to society. Smart
