News Center 7′s Taylor Robertson spoke to Shelton’s grandaughter Maria Walling, who shared her reaction to hearing the news her grandmother’s killers had been found.

A Miami-Dade County jury needed less than three hours to find Dale Ewers guilty of the first-degree murder of a Miami Beach woman, the rape of her girlfriend and two other felonies, in a 34-year-old cold case that hinged on semen found on a tiny square of a towel. With the small square of cloth […]
Many investors have seen Novavax (NASDAQ: NVAX) as a promising recovery story ever since the biotech launched a plan to cut costs to better match the revenue opportunities ahead of it. Once one of the biggest coronavirus vaccine hopefuls, Novavax’s shares soared by more than 2,700% in 2020 — then plummeted as the development and […]
Throughout history, attempts by mere mortals to plumb the inner recesses of the soul have been seen as hubristic. Shakespeare had Hamlet express this powerfully when he rages against those who “would pluck out the heart of my mystery”. He accuses Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of trying to play him like some kind of instrument, rather […]
Scientists have found some planets may migrate toward the hearts of their planetary systems early on in their lives, possibly explaining the lack of planets we see that are around twice the width of Earth. Over the years, scientists have managed to observe many exoplanets that are either smaller or larger than Earth, but planets […]
For 141 years, physicists have pondered a deceptively difficult question—what would happen if a sprinkler worked in reverse? Two camps formed—one arguing that a water-sucking sprinkler would have to spin clockwise, and another camp pushing for an counter-clockwise motion. Scientists from New York University took care of the problem by designing just such a device, […]
A pilot and explorer who embarked on an $11 million-expedition at sea believes he has solved one of the world’s greatest mysteries: the final resting place of Amelia Earhart’s plane that vanished in 1937. Tony Romeo, a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer and CEO of Deep Sea Vision, sold commercial real estate to fund […]
Eight giant, 160-foot-deep (50 meters) craters in the Siberian permafrost have baffled scientists since their discovery more than a decade ago — but a new theory may finally explain how they formed. The craters are unique to Russia’s northern Yamal and Gydan peninsulas and are not known to exist elsewhere in the Arctic, suggesting the […]
NEW YORK (AP) — Even as Donald Trump seeks his third straight Republican presidential nomination, his live appearances still present an unsolved riddle for many news outlets: How do you cover him? The question hung in the air as CNN, MSNBC and some streaming outlets started — then stopped — showing Trump’s speech following Tuesday’s […]
In the spring of 2018, Elizabethton High School teacher Alex Campbell gave his sociology class a wildly ambitious assignment: he asked them to solve a case, gone cold for decades, involving a potential serial killer. Elizabethton is a small city in northeast Tennessee bordering the Appalachian Mountains. In the 1980s, a police task force was […]
Scientists offered a new explanation for the huge craters that keep appearing in Siberia. These craters, first spotted in 2012, can be more than 160 feet deep and over 65 feet wide. They may be due to hot time bombs made of natural gas building up under the frozen ground. Scientists are putting forward a […]
The largest primate ever to walk the Earth went extinct because it could not adapt to its changing environment, with the mighty beast reduced to living off bark and twigs before dying off, scientists said on Wednesday. Gigantopithecus blacki, which stood 10 feet tall and weighed up to 660 pounds, thrived in the forests of […]
