Jack Pearadin, a Navy reservist who has hunted gems at Arkansas's Crater of Diamonds State Park since 2013, unearthed a 6.03-carat diamond earlier this year and livestreamed the discovery on TikTok. Collectors told him the stone could be worth over $1 million, though an appraiser told the Associated Press it might fetch about a fourth of that. It is the largest diamond found at the park this year. The park lets visitors keep what they find; more than 37,000 diamonds have been discovered there since 1972.

An Associated Press report profiles Thomas, a 35-year-old Pennsylvania man who ran up about $75,000 in debt on DraftKings and FanDuel, filed for bankruptcy in late 2023, and self-excluded from both platforms. Two years later, he says an Instagram ad offering a $20 bonus drew him into Kalshi, a prediction market, and he relapsed.

Tennessee officials were unable to carry out the execution of Christa Pike, 50, on September 30 after two administered doses of pentobarbital failed to kill her. Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, was taken by ambulance to a hospital; her attorneys said she was alive and receiving care. She was sentenced to death in 1996 for the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer, committed when Pike was 18. Governor Bill Lee ordered a third-party review of what happened and halted the state's one remaining scheduled execution this year.
