Local woman trying to recover mom's Facebook account after stranger memorializes it
A Facebook account full of family memories was memorialized by a stranger without the family's knowledge. Now, a woman is fighting for access to her mom's account. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] News Center 7's Taylor Robertson meets with Hannah Couch and learns about how much this profile means to her and her family LIVE on News Center 7 at 11. Couch says her mom, Soni May Shaw, used Facebook like a scrapbook, and now those memories are gone. TRENDING STORIES: 6-year-old boy dies after drowning in Butler County City says arbitrator ignored 'simply obvious dangers' by reinstating fired police sergeant Suspect in murder of local 32-year-old father arrested in Kentucky 'My mom, she was incredible. I don't think I've ever met someone who didn't love her,' Couch said. 'She was diagnosed with cancer in June of 2023 and it started in her lungs. She has the BRCA gene, and it mutated to an untreatable and incurable brain cancer.' Shaw passed away last summer. 'She was a photographer, softball mom, a great grandma,' Couch said. 'She was actually kind of getting popular on TikTok out of nowhere. She posted, like, easy Sunday game day recipes to feed a family, because Sundays were her thing.' After her mom passed, Couch found comfort reading through old posts. One day, she went to check her mom's profile and it was memorialized. 'The only thing that I can see is my memories that she's tagged me in or stuff that I've tagged her in,' Couch said. Couch says she was shocked, and she immediately tried to find who had memorialized the page, but no one came forward. 'Somebody took that away from us,' Couch said. It made Couch curious. How simple is it to convince Facebook someone is dead? 'I made a fake Facebook. I made myself the legacy contact and then I reported it to memorialize it,' Couch said. 'I found some old lady picture on Facebook, made it her profile picture, I put her picture with a ChatGPT obituary and all you have to do- you don't have to be logged into Facebook- I just went ahead through a Safari browser, report - memorialized.' Couch says she has reached out to Facebook nine times since May and has only gotten one response. 'They basically told me that there was nothing that they could do. It was irreversible and once it's done, it's done,' Couch said. 'It's cruel and Facebook has to do something about it.' News Center 7 reached out to Facebook to see if it's possible to recover Couch's mother's profile, but we have not heard back. Couch says she is considering legal action, but she hopes it doesn't come to that. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Joy Reid Blasts Mainstream Media for ‘Selling a Lie' About L.A.
Ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid is accusing the 'mainstream media' of 'helping' Donald Trump spread his narrative about what's happening in Los Angeles during the protests against his ICE raids. Not too long after losing her coveted primetime spot on MSNBC in February, Reid wrote in her 'A Daily Reid' Substack newsletter on Wednesday that 'the mainstream media at this point, is participating in selling a lie: that Los Angeles is so out of control, it's plausible that Trump would send in the military as an occupying stabilizing force.' The new podcast host said she and members of her 'Joy Reid Show' staff have been in L.A. since last Thursday, where she's gotten a different picture of the city than what's been portrayed. 'The lies the regime is telling about Los Angeles are easy to disprove. You just have to go to Los Angeles,' she wrote. 'Starting on Thursday, we were all over the city—from West Hollywood to downtown, including city hall.' All the former TV host and her team saw on the ground in L.A. was ICE 'terrorizing randomly selected brown people all over the state and making racial profiling great again,' she wrote, in order to meet 'MAGA Nosferatu's 3,000 brown person a day kidnap quota.' On Sunday, 'our photographer ventured into the belly of the downtown protests that followed day three of random, military-style ICE raids that took place all over Los Angeles County,' she wrote of the 'warlike operation' that made stops at unassuming places one normally wouldn't hope to find the violent criminals Trump said his raids would prioritize. The president deployed about 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to quell protests against the expansive ICE raids in the city over the weekend, even though mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom insisted they were under control until the armed forces incited violence. Those reports have not deterred the president from escalating the White House's response to demonstrators, who he's called 'animals' and a 'foreign enemy.' 'Trump, Bondi, Hegseth,' and 'the puppy killer' Kristi Noem 'have created a fake, dystopian version of Los Angeles as a cheap excuse to launch a military occupation of California,' Reid went on, and are now threatening to 'use the Insurrection Act to put the whole country under martial law.' Helping his cause is 'dramatic media coverage,' Reid wrote, linking subscribers to CNN's dystopyian reports from on the ground. 'Mainstream journalists are even going so far as to casually inquire about the insurrection act,' she continued, 'which gives Pam Bondi the chance to do her Leni Riefenstahl act' in her comments to press Wednesday morning. Reid also quoted from Mayor Bass' comments to local outlet NBC4 on Tuesday, that 'those of us in Los Angeles understand that the unrest that has happened are a few blocks within the downtown area. It is not all of downtown, and it is not all of the city. Unfortunately, the visuals make it seem as though our entire city is in flames, and it is not the case at all.' L.A. is a 'perfectly normal, quiet city almost everywhere,' Reid concluded—and the 'the businesses Pam Bondi pretends to care about? The risk to them is not their own dish washers, cooks, clerks and construction workers. It's the Trump regime, that keeps kidnapping their employees. Maybe they should stop doing that. If they do, and withdraw their occupation forces, L.A. and the rest of California can go on about its business.'

Ex-CIA analyst who admitted leaking docs about Israel strike on Iran gets 37 months in prison
An ex-CIA analyst was sentenced to more than three years in prison Wednesday for leaking top-secret documents about Israel's plans to retaliate against Iran last year. Asif William Rahman, 34, had pleaded guilty in January to two counts of willful retention and transmission of classified information after he was arrested for absconding with records from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency last October that indicated Israel was planning to launch airstrikes in response to a massive Iranian missile attack. Rahman, who had been a CIA employee since 2016 and had access to top secret documents, leaked the stolen information on social media platforms — forcing Israel to delay its attack. Advertisement He was sentenced to three years and one month in federal prison by US District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles, which is less than the government had demanded. 3 Rahman was sentenced to more than three years in federal prison. AP 'Asif Rahman violated his position of trust by illegally accessing, removing, and transmitting Top Secret documents vital to the national security of the United States and its allies,' US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert said in a statement. Advertisement 'The urgency with which Mr. Rahman was identified, arrested, charged, and prosecuted is a testament to the commitment and professionalism of the investigators and prosecutors who brought him to justice. 'This case should serve as a stern warning to those who choose to place their own goals over their allegiance to our nation.' Rahman was working in the US Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on Oct. 17, 2024, when he sneaked the documents out in his backpack, brought them to his home, photographed them and then transmitted them to other individuals, before destroying evidence of his actions, according to the Justice Department. The top-secret documents appeared on the 'Middle East Spectator' Telegram channel the following day and 'appeared publicly on multiple social media platforms, complete with the classification ranking,' prosecutors said. Advertisement The documents laid out intelligence gathered from satellite images of an Israeli base taken on Oct. 15 and 16. The breach forced Israeli officials to postpone their attack until Oct. 26. 3 The ex-CIA employee pleaded guilty in January to leaking classified information.

WAEL HAMZEH/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Advertisement Rahman 'repeatedly accessed and printed classified National Defense Information' up until his arrest in November of 2024, according to the DOJ. In the spring of 2024, when he was working in Virginia as a CIA analyst, he disclosed a batch of five secret and top-secret documents, making copies and giving them to people who weren't allowed to see them. And in the fall of 2024, he leaked another 10 classified documents. 'I fully accept responsibility for my conduct last year,' Rahman said in court Wednesday, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. 'There was no excuse for my actions.' Rahman's attorneys blamed his actions on 'family-related grief' and traumatic assignment in Iraq, compounded by Israel's war against Hamas.
