Meanwhile, shares of Johnson & Johnson and Coca-Cola increased 1% and 2%, respectively, in the premarket after both companies logged better-than-expected corporate earnings. Netflix stock was muted, however, after the company reported weak earnings but strong subscriber growth. United Airlines saw its shares soar approximately 1%.

A Florida homeowner returned to his house to a strange sight. Clothes were littered across the lanai, and a naked woman was in his pool, authorities say. 

When deputies responded to the scene, they asked her to put her clothes back on and get out of the pool. She told them to leave her alone and refused their requests again and again. Eventually, she got dressed, but officials say she still resisted arrest and said she wasn’t planning on going anywhere. 

The 42-year-old woman was eventually identified through jail booking photos upon her arrival at the Charlotte County Jail. 

Heather A. Kennedy now faces charges related to trespass and resisting arrest. What else do we know about this strange story right now?

Fifty-two years after Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, the founder of Amazon reached space’s shoreline. At about 9:12 a.m. this morning, Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket lifted off with Jeff Bezos, his brother Mark, 82-year-old Wally Funk, and 18-year-old Oliver Daemon on board.

A few minutes later, the capsule that carried the crew members separated from the booster, giving the newly-minted astronauts a few moments of microgravity. 

“You have a very happy crew up here, I want you to know,” one person said. 

The capsule skirted the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere and space, at a point known as the Karman line. 

About 10 minutes after take-off, the capsule began its descent. 

“It was so amazing, it was so amazing,” Daemen said as they landed. Jeff Bezos was pumping his fists and offering a thumbs-up sign through the window. 

Even billionaire rival Richard Branson, who just returned from his own spaceflight, offered a congratulatory message today.

Earlier this year, the ex-husband of the well-known animal rights attorney Jennifer Emmi said he was scared for his life. He was worried, too, about his children, and their au pair who eventually became his girlfriend. 

Apparently, Emmi had been scheming to kill his new romantic partner. She pleaded guilty to several charges against her a few weeks ago after a six-month investigation. 

Last year, Emmi had apparently spoken to both a farmhand and a military sniper about murdering the woman. 

Now Emmi is behind bars, with her bond set at $3 million in cash. 

“I was set up, and I have been repeatedly set up,” she said at one point. “All I can say is I want the truth to come out. The whole thing is crazy. I don’t want to hurt anyone.” 

When is sentencing scheduled?

Dolores Diaz and her three children were walking in Queens when a 24-year-old snatched her five-year-old son Jacob, authorities say. The man, James McGonagle, apparently hopped into his maroon sedan and started driving with the child.

Diaz and her other children chased the vehicle, trying to pull the passenger door open.

Finally, Diaz rescued her son by pulling him through the window. Onlookers apparently tried to stop the car, video shows. 

“It’s quick. I said, ‘Oh my God, my kids, please,'” Diaz said of the incident. “Because I’m screaming, the people [started] coming, and they [helped] me. One lady [came] and called the police.” 

McGonagle, who also later punched a police officer, was ultimately arrested, but his accomplice remains at large. 

“If they didn’t give my brother back I would have to punch them,” the boy’s brother said of the ordeal.
