A US woman feared dead was reported alive in Mexico. But police now say that isn’t true

28 October 2026 at 10:00

Mexican police had said they found Shayna Feinman in Tijuana, raising the hopes of missing Arizonan’s family

Arizona authorities say their Mexican counterparts were resoundingly mistaken when they publicly claimed recently that they found alive a woman who was feared slain after disappearing in 2024 – a turn of events that her sister has called “turmoil” and “heartbreaking”.

The case in question centers on Shayna Feinman, who was reported missing in rural Yavapai county, Arizona, in March 2024 at age 38.

The Mummies of Guanajuato

28 October 2026 at 05:46

In the historic city of Guanajuato, in central Mexico, lies one of the world's most unsettling collections of human remains. The Mummies of Guanajuato are a collection of more than a hundred naturally mummified bodies that were exhumed from the Pantheon of Santa Paula municipal cemetery more than a hundred years ago. Unlike the famous mummies of ancient Egypt, these people were not deliberately preserved for the afterlife. Their bodies dried out under unusual burial conditions, and they were discovered decades later when cemetery workers began removing remains from old graves.

“Chupacabra” que aterroriza cidade no México é filmado; divulgação de imagens da criatura é feita por ufólogo

27 October 2026 at 18:15

O ufólogo Jaime Maussan divulgou um novo vídeo da criatura apontada por internautas como o “chupacabra”. A figura com rabo, unhas grandes e aparência clara viralizou na internet após ser supostamente flagrada atacando animais em uma área residencial de Ciudad Juarés, na fronteira do país com os Estados Unidos, no último dia 17 de outubro.

As novas evidências da circulação da criatura, de acordo com Jaime, foram registradas em 14 de outubro, entre 19h e 20h no Valle del Juárez.

O vídeo foi obtido por meio de uma câmera-trap instalada na área de mata dessa região, um tipo de dispositivo utilizado para monitorar a atividade da fauna silvestre e acompanhar a presença de cervos.

Um homem, chamado Armando Reséndiz, relatou que recuperou os cartões de memória para verificar o material e se surpreendeu com a presença da criatura.

Veja a gravação:

Ataques a galinhas

O ufólogo afirmou ter começado a investigar o caso depois que um garoto viu a criatura pegar uma galinha pela cabeça e correr em uma árvore.

Segundo as informações locais, uma equipe foi mobilizada para tentar localizar o “chupacabra”, instalando uma câmera de segurança próximo ao local.

Os pesquisadores dizem ter capturado provas da existência do bicho, após ele ser flagrado escalando um grande muro de tijolos.

Durante uma coletiva de imprensa, a equipe de quatro assistentes de pesquisa que trabalham com Maussan disse aos jornais locais que a criatura tinha quase 1,80 metro de comprimento (seis pés), da cabeça até a ponta da cauda, que eles acreditam ter, sozinha, aproximadamente um metro e meio de comprimento.

“É um predador. Não estou dizendo que é extraterrestre, mas é algo assustador”, disse Maussan à mídia local mexicana. Não há, até agora, qualquer confirmação científica de que se trate de um “chupacabra”.

A lenda do chupacabra

O chupacabra, nome que significa “sugador de cabras”, é uma figura do folclore das Américas. A criatura é descrita como responsável por mortes de animais de criação, principalmente cabras, mas também ovelhas e galinhas.

Every place Trump has renamed during his second presidency, from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Ontario

  • The Trump administration has changed the names of buildings, a mountain, and bodies of water.
  • An executive order renamed Lake Ontario as "Lake America" amid the trade war with Canada.
  • The president has since floated the idea of renaming the Atlantic Ocean as "American Ocean."

First, the Gulf of Mexico, then Lake Ontario. Now, President Donald Trump has said an ocean could be next.

At a Mississippi rally on Monday, the president floated the idea of renaming the Atlantic Ocean the "American Ocean" and said he thinks "Europe will be thrilled."

He first raised the idea at a Tennessee rally in early October, pitching "Trump Ocean" or "Ocean of the Americas" for either the Atlantic or Pacific. At a South Carolina rally in mid-October, he said Google CEO Sundar Pichai told him "no" to changing the ocean names on Google Maps because they touch a lot of countries.

The White House referred Business Insider to the president's comments.

It wouldn't be the first name change Trump has made or suggested in his second non-consecutive term in office.

In August, he signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario — one of the five Great Lakes, bordering both Canada and the US — to Lake America. He's also renamed a gulf and a mountain, and has mused about renaming a river, calling New Mexico "New America," and rebranding the Strait of Hormuz as the "Trump Strait."

Besides renaming numerous government programs and buildings after Trump himself, here's a look at other places the administration has renamed — so far.

On the first day back in the White House, Trump signed an executive order titled "Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness."

It directed two actions: rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America," and restore Alaska's Denali, the highest mountain in North America, to its former federal name, Mount McKinley. President Barack Obama previously restored the mountain's Native Alaskan name, meaning "the high one" in the Koyukon language, in 2015.

Trump's executive order acknowledged that "congressional action is required to establish a renaming in public law," but called for federal agencies to use the new names in the interim.

Both Google and Apple have since updated their map features to reflect the name change. The Associated Press continued to refer to the body of water as the Gulf of Mexico, leading the White House to bar AP from some press events.

In 2023, the Biden administration changed the names of Army bases named after Confederate leaders, renaming them after Medal of Honor recipients, military leaders, and other war heroes, including women and people of color.

Hegseth reversed the changes in a series of orders in 2025, restoring the names of Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Benning, Fort Pickett, Fort Lee, Fort Gordon, Fort Hood, Fort Polk, Fort Rucker, and Fort Bragg.

The change came amid rising tensions over the trade war with Canada. In August, the US imposed new 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods after negotiations fell apart, prompting Canada to announce retaliatory tariffs of up to 50%. Trump has since reversed some of those tariffs.

Canadians were already calling for boycotts of US products and travel before the August executive order. Carney said in his X response to Lake Ontario's name change that the US "is changing."

"Their trade relations, their foreign policy, their national monuments, their hydronyms," he wrote. "Canadian women and men also know that things must be called by their name, and this lake is called Lake Ontario — today and forever."

Google Maps and Apple Maps show the new name to US users. The change applies only to US federal use.

At the time, Trump also floated renaming an ocean after the US — something he has since repeatedly pitched at recent rallies. The insistence comes despite Trump saying that Pichai told the president "no" when asked to change the Atlantic Ocean's name on Google Maps.

"This time I'm not doing it," Trump said at the South Carolina rally, referring to Pichai's response. "Oceans are different, sir. They cover really a lot of countries. Please don't ask us to do that."
