A violent incident in Indianapolis resulted in the death of a 76-year-old woman, identified as Mary Ogle, who succumbed to blunt force trauma allegedly inflicted by her husband, Terry Ogle, 79. The tragedy unfolded on Friday afternoon at their residence on Questend Drive South when emergency responders discovered Mary unresponsive in a rear bedroom, having suffered severe injuries reportedly caused by a hammer.

According to police reports, Terry Ogle called emergency services to report the incident, revealing the nature of the emergency as a domestic disturbance. During the call, he mentioned feelings of depression and expressed suspicion that his wife might be having an affair, stating, "I just lost it."

Upon arrival, police found significant blood evidence throughout the house, indicating a struggle had taken place. Terry Ogle was detained but required hospitalization for a self-inflicted wrist injury and other health concerns.

He has been arrested on preliminary murder charges, although formal charges have yet to be filed by the Marion County Prosecutor's Office. The couple had a long history in the education sector and were known in their community, making this incident particularly shocking for residents.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.

Doomsday Clock Reaches Record Low as Global Threats Escalate

The Doomsday Clock has been recalibrated to 89 seconds to midnight, marking the closest it has ever been to catastrophic disaster. This adjustment, announced on January 29, 2025, reflects heightened concerns over nuclear threats, the misuse of artificial intelligence, and ongoing climate change, according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS). Initially established in 1947, the clock symbolizes how near humanity is to potential annihilation, adjusting its position based on global events and existential risks. The latest change comes amidst escalating tensions from the ongoing war in Ukraine and unrest in the Middle East, which experts warn could lead to nuclear conflict. “Every second’s extension may heighten the risk of global ruin," said Daniel Holz, a BAS scientist. The clock was previously set at 90 seconds to midnight in 2023, driven by similar fears associated with geopolitical instability and environmental challenges. The BAS underscores the urgent need for global leaders to address these threats proactively to avert disaster.

OpenAI Pursues $40 Billion Funding Amid Market Competition

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is reportedly seeking $40 billion in new funding, aiming to elevate its valuation to $340 billion. According to the Wall Street Journal, Japan's SoftBank is leading this funding effort, negotiating an investment of between $15 billion and $25 billion. This potential investment would mark SoftBank's largest backing of OpenAI. The funding drive comes on the heels of market disruption caused by Chinese startup DeepSeek, which recently launched a competitive chatbot developed at a significantly lower cost compared to U.S. counterparts. As reported by the Financial Times, the funding plan follows OpenAI's previous round completed just three months ago, which valued the company at $157 billion. The new funds would aid OpenAI in fulfilling its $18 billion commitment to the Stargate initiative announced by former President Donald Trump, intended to bolster artificial intelligence infrastructure in the U.S. SoftBank’s investment may exceed $40 billion as it continues to pivot towards AI technologies. Shares of SoftBank rose by 3% following these reports.
