After 40 years apart, a Chilean mother reunites with two children stolen during dictatorship
SUMMARY: Teresita de Jesús Padilla has reunited with her two sons after they were taken from her in Chile four decades ago. The children were illegally adopted during Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship, part of a dark chapter involving state corruption and child trafficking. Tim Rolnick and Travis Murdoch, now in their 40s, grew up in the U.S. and only recently discovered their origins. In 2020, Tim learned about his family in Chile through a DNA test. Following an emotional reunion in Santiago, both sons expressed a deep connection with their mother. They now aim to rebuild their family and create new memories.

Ohio’s ‘wandering bears’ signal a possible comeback for the species
SUMMARY: Black bears could be making a comeback in Ohio after virtually disappearing in the mid-1800s. According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, sightings have sharply increased since 2022. More than 1,500 sightings have been reported, mostly in rural areas near West Virginia and Pennsylvania. In 2025, there were 537 sightings in 69 counties. Experts say the rise in sightings could be due to both more bears and more cameras capturing them. Most bears in Ohio are young males passing through, but there is evidence of reproducing females. Researchers have begun putting satellite GPS collars on bears to track their movements and are asking residents to continue reporting any sightings.
