FBI probes disappearance of 'Survivor' star and teen son after custody violation

The FBI is investigating the disappearance of former 'Survivor: China' contestant Jaime Dugan and her 16-year-old son, Harper Huffman, after she failed to return him to his father following a weekend visit on Aug. 30. A South Carolina judge has issued an arrest warrant for Dugan after she missed multiple court dates and refused to disclose their whereabouts. Harper's father, Erik Huffman, has sole custody and is actively searching for his son, expressing concern for his safety. The case stems from a contentious 2024 divorce, during which Dugan made unsubstantiated abuse allegations against Huffman that the court deemed unfounded.

FBI Bribery Probe Into Collins Collapsed After Trump Purge, ProPublica Reveals

FBI Bribery Probe Into Collins Collapsed After Trump Purge, ProPublica Reveals

ProPublica revealed that the FBI had sufficient evidence in late 2024 to launch a bribery investigation into Sen. Susan Collins and defense contractor Navatek, but the probe was terminated after the Trump administration dismantled anti-corruption units. The case centers on allegations that Navatek CEO Martin Kao funneled nearly $900,000 to politicians, including Collins, to secure over $40 million in annual government contracts. While Collins’ office denies the claims as a 'smear job,' Democrats have launched a $3.4 million ad campaign linking her to the allegations and unrelated Epstein file votes, intensifying pressure in her tight 2026 re-election race against Democrat Troy Jackson.

ProPublica Report Challenges Collins' Defense of FBI Corruption Probe

ProPublica reported that the FBI investigated allegations of bribery involving Sen. Susan Collins and defense contractor Navatek until the Trump administration dismantled the unit in 2025. Collins and her staff have denied wrongdoing, claiming the FBI cleared them years ago, but ProPublica states the investigation was active until 2025. The Portland Press Herald editorialized that Collins' complacent response is disrespectful to voters. The Washington Post noted the allegations complicate her campaign message in Bath, Maine, where she is credited with securing Navy contracts for Bath Iron Works.

Philadelphia Missing-Women Probe Expands after Million-Image Cache from Olney Home

Police say nearly 60 people appear in more than 1 million images and videos recovered from the Olney home of Eugene Horsch, tying seven women to the residence, with five appearing injured or dead in some footage (though some later were found alive). Investigators note some material may be staged and parts could be real; no bodies have been recovered. The FBI is reviewing the files (about 30% done), more interviews are planned, and another search of the Chew Avenue home is slated for late September. Evidence also includes fake credentials, drugs, a gun, and chemicals being analyzed for DNA, as authorities pursue leads in the ongoing missing-women investigation.

Bodies have not been recovered; Horsch remains in federal custody on firearms and credential charges. Authorities say an update could come this week as the probe continues.

Massive driver’s license data leak triggers FBI probe

Digital scans of millions of driver’s licenses from the U.S. and Canada were found for sale on the dark web, tied to a popular identity‑verification company. The incident—potentially the largest exposure of government‑issued IDs—has prompted an FBI probe, with numbers cited around 153 million licenses plus additional IDs, travel documents, and medical cards. If you’re affected, monitor or freeze your credit, report fraud to the FTC, and contact your DMV to address a compromised license.
