3-Year-Old Girl and a Dog Were Found Dead in a Car. The Child's Mother Claims She Fell into a River at the Time of the Tragedy
Kelly Brown, 40, said she was 'swept away" as she fell into the Penobscot River in Maine NEED TO KNOW A woman has been charged with manslaughter after her 3-year-old daughter and a dog were found dead in her locked vehicle Kelly Brown, 40, allegedly claimed to have fallen into a river in Maine on her way to take out trash when the tragedy occurred The woman's bail has been set at $50,000 A woman has been charged with manslaughter after her 3-year-old daughter and a dog were found dead in her locked vehicle — during a time when she allegedly claimed to have fallen into a river on her way to take out trash. The Penobscot County Sheriff's Office (PSCO) initially discovered the vehicle of 40-year-old Pennsylvania resident Kelly Brown outside a local business in Milford, Maine, on the evening of Aug. 9, according to Maine State Police (MSP). Inside the car, police officers discovered the young girl dead, and they later located the mother "nearby." After calling in help, MSP arrested Brown, and she was booked at the Penobscot County Jail around 5 a.m. local time the following morning. During an appearance at Penobscot Judicial Center on Aug. 11, Brown was formally charged with manslaughter. According to an affidavit and court documents obtained by CBS affiliate WABI, NBC affiliate WCHS and Brown told police that she left her daughter in the car while she was picking up trash in the area, but she fell into the Penobscot River and was 'swept away." A spokesperson for the MSP did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for confirmation on Sunday, Aug. 17. Attorney information for Brown was not immediately available. According to court records obtained by WABI, police assert that Brown left her child and a small dog inside the parked car in a Milford Freshies parking lot around 2 a.m. local time on Aug. 9. She briefly returned to the vehicle around 6 a.m., but apparently did not come back again until police and EMS arrived 14 hours later, the outlet said. Brown, her daughter Fiona and their 13-year-old family dog Penelope left Pennsylvania on July 30 for an annual trip to see family in Maine. According to Brown's mother claimed she had been "hallucinating" and posting 'disturbing' videos on Facebook since late July. The mother, the daughter and their pet had been camping alongside rest stops on their way back to their family camp. Brown told authorities that she wanted to teach Fiona about keeping nature "clean." Brown said her daughter and the dog were alive when she last left them in the vehicle. She claimed that she then slipped and fell into the river and was 'fighting to stay above water," according to the affidavit obtained by Police found the child's body "resting, face down, on the driver's side seat very close to the driver's side door," while the dog's head was resting on her foot, the outlet reported. Brown's family later reported her to police, stating that she had been acting odd and claiming she had been seeing spirits, per WABI. The affidavit obtained by alleges that Brown 'began to scream' when she learned of the deaths of her daughter and dog. While Brown, who was covered in scratches and bruises, told police that she fell into the river, surveillance footage allegedly contradicted her claims, according to WABI and WCHS, and her clothes were not wet by the time she returned to the vehicle. 'Kelly Brown's alternative explanation for abandoning her daughter and dog in the locked closed car on a hot August day contradicts the surveillance video and observations of the law enforcement officers when she appeared on the scene and was later interviewed,' the affidavit said, per According to WABI and WCHS, a judge placed Brown's bail at $50,000. Police said they found no other signs of the possible causes of death for the child beyond heat exposure. The Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta then determined the girl's probable cause of death was the result of being left in the car for hours on end, WCHS reported. Attorneys and the judge agreed to meet again on Sept. 26, according to WCHS. Brown's case will then go in front of a grand jury. Read the original article on People

UK Reveals Deadly Reason Why Putin Wants Ukraine To Hand Over Unoccupied Land To End War
The Ministry of Defence has revealed why Vladimir Putin wants Ukraine to hand over large swathes of its unoccupied land to end the war. In its latest intelligence update on the conflict, the MoD said Russia would be forced to fight for more than four years and suffer nearly two million casualties if it had to fight for it. The analysis came as Putin set out his peace plans at a summit with Donald Trump in Alaska. According to the Reuters news agency, the proposed deal would see Ukraine fully withdraw from the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions in return for a Russian pledge to freeze the front lines in the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. But the MoD said: 'Based on the rate of Russia's incremental battlefield advances so far in 2025, it would take Russian forces approximately 4.4 more years to gain 100% of the four Ukrainian oblasts' territory. 'Based on Russia's average daily casualty rate in 2025 so far, as reported by Ukrainian general staff, 4.4 more years of war would lead to approximately 1,930,000 further Russian casualties (killed and wounded). 'This is in addition to the approximately 1,060,000 casualties Russia has already likely sustained since launching the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, including around 250,000 killed or missing (presumed dead).' After his talks with Putin, Trump told Fox News: 'I think we're pretty close to a deal. Ukraine has to agree to it. Maybe they'll say 'no'.' But speaking following talks with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels today, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: 'The constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible to give up territory or trade land. ' He said any such moves would need to be discussed at a three-way summit involving him, Putin and Trump. Von der Leyen, also insisted that 'international borders cannot be changed by force'.

Top Armed Services Democrat calls Trump-Putin summit ‘very disappointing'
Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said he was very disappointed by the historic summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. In an interview on NewsNation's 'The Hill Sunday,' Smith criticized the U.S. president for appearing to emerge from his meeting more aligned with Putin in pushing for an end to the war in Ukraine without first agreeing to a ceasefire. 'The summit in Alaska was very disappointing,' Smith said in the interview. 'We took the demand for a ceasefire off the table in exchange for nothing.' Smith also criticized Trump's 'deference' to the Russian leader, contrasting that approach with the antagonism on display during the explosive Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in February. 'The deference that President Trump showed to Putin—never once just stating the basic notion that Ukraine has a right to exist as a sovereign, democratic country and that the invasion was illegal, unlawful,' Smith said. 'And you contrast that with the way President Trump and Vice President Vance treated Zelensky when he was in the West Wing back in February — it sends the wrong signal if we're trying to force Putin to the table and get a negotiated end to this war,' he continued. Smith said it 'makes sense' for Trump to be trying to get Putin and Zelensky in a room together, saying, 'I applaud that effort, but you have to understand what Putin wants out of this.' 'Putin wants all of Ukraine, and he's just trying to play President Trump and buy time to get in a better position to do that,' he continued. 'That's the calculation of Putin that has to be changed.'
