The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein case is spreading around the world. Politicians, diplomats, business leaders and royals have seen reputations tarnished, investigations launched and jobs lost. It comes after a trove of more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents revealed their ties to the U.S. financier and convicted sex offender who died behind bars in 2019. In some of the most recent developments, one of the world's largest logistics companies replaced its chairman, and the top lawyer for Goldman Sachs said she will resign.

While overall colorectal cancer rates have inched down in recent years, rates for those under 50 have risen. It is now the top cancer killer of Americans under 50. Van Der Beek died this week at 48 from colon cancer. Doctors say people should reduce their risk by eating a healthy diet, get screened starting at age 45 and don't wait to have worrisome symptoms examined.

FBI agents are fanning out across an Arizona neighborhood not far from Nancy Guthrie’s home. They're knocking on doors and searching through thick desert terrain.

The man told several media outlets on Wednesday that he had nothing to do with last week’s disappearance of Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie. Hours earlier, the FBI released images of a masked person on Nancy Guthrie’s porch the night she went missing near Tucson.

James Van Der Beek, best known as the titular character on “Dawson’s Creek,” has died at 48, according to a statement from his family posted on Instagram.
