Woman Loses $10K Wedding Ring in the Ocean—She Knows What To Do
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Missouri nurse's beach vacation turned into an underwater treasure hunt when she lost her $10,000 wedding ring off the Florida coast—and miraculously found it hours later in the ocean's depths. Sarah Maune, known as Sarah Kraffty on social media, is a 32-year-old nurse from the city of Washington in Missouri; she also shares recipe content online. The dramatic incident, which took place in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Maune told Newsweek, was recounted in a video shared on her TikTok account @sarahkraffty. The footage, posted on June 4 and now viewed over 6.8 million times, begins with her standing on the beach, saying: "Going to find my missing wedding ring in the ocean." The video then cuts to scenes of Maune diving repeatedly beneath the waves in search of the precious piece of jewelry. After several attempts and emerging empty-handed, she finally spots a glimmer beneath the water. "Oh my God. I found it, I can't believe I found it," she says, placing the ring back on her finger before resurfacing. A screengrab shows Sarah Maune standing on a beach, holding her hand up to show the ring missing on her finger. A screengrab shows Sarah Maune standing on a beach, holding her hand up to show the ring missing on her finger. @sarahkraffty on TikTok The luxury jewelry market—particularly rings—continues to flourish globally. A report by market research firm Grand View Research estimated the luxury jewelry market's value to be at $49.1 billion and projected it to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.7 percent from 2025 to 2030. "Rings dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2024," the report said. "Rings hold significant emotional and symbolic value and are commonly used for engagements, weddings, and other meaningful life occasions." Maune told Newsweek the viral video was filmed on May 31 during a family trip to the small seaside town. She had lost the ring "while snorkeling out to the coral reef and noticed, when we got back to the beach, it was gone off my finger," she said. "I forgot it was on my finger from the morning when we went out to breakfast." The ring, Maune said, carries deep emotional weight. "My wedding ring was bought by my high-school sweetheart! He worked multiple jobs and as a farm hand at that time. It's worth around $10,000 but more sentimentally to me." Determined not to lose the symbol of her relationship, Maune launched her own underwater recovery mission. "I was out snorkeling for multiple hours. I had my GoPro and just decided to film searching for it … I stayed calm and tried not to panic," she said. "I had a general area I knew where I lost it. I could tell where I entered the water by where I put my stuff down on the beach and just tried to retrace my steps out to the coral reef," Maune added. The successful recovery came only after hours of effort. "By the time I found the ring, I was in the water for quite a while. It was actually my second swim to the buoy where the reef was, about 100 yards offshore," Maune said. "I was tired but not giving up. The day before, I spotted a black-tip reef shark, and the day I lost it, someone spotted a hammerhead shark. I was extra-cautious." The moment of discovery was nearly as unexpected as the loss. "I picked up so many shells and I thought it was going to be another shell," Maune said. However, she later "spotted something that caught my eye and couldn't believe I found it."

Senior Rescue Dog Who 'Lived Outside For 15 years' Making Up For Lost Time
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A rescue dog who has spent almost all of her life living outdoors is finally getting to experience some much-deserved home comforts. Veronica Pflueger, a development director at Hope Animal Rescue, a non-profit in North Carolina, shared footage to her Instagram, @wethreepitties, showing the moment she found 17-year-old rescue dog Sheba enjoying a nap on her bed. It's well-earned to say the least. "Sheba was surrendered to a local county animal in May of 2023 after her previous owner unfortunately lost his housing and couldn't take her with him," Pflueger told Newsweek. "She was 15 at the time and had spent her entire life living outside prior to being surrendered. The first half of her life was spent on a chain. Then another local non-profit provided and built a metal run and enclosure for her outside so she would at least be unchained." Sheba has fully converted to becoming an inside dog who loves nothing more than napping. Sheba has fully converted to becoming an inside dog who loves nothing more than napping. wetheepitties/instagram Pflueger first met Sheba after the local shelter reached out to Hope Animal Rescue for help. "Given Sheba's age at the time she was surrendered and the condition she was in—she had skin issues, oral issues, and was heartworm positive—she was an urgent placement need for the shelter so they reached out to see if we had a foster home available," she said. Pflueger has been fostering dogs for a decade but had never taken on a senior dog before. She found herself drawn to helping Sheba though. "For whatever reason I couldn't get her out of my head and no one else or any other rescues were willing to take her so we said yes," Pflueger said. Having initially agreed to foster Sheba, within months Pflueger had decided to adopt. They recently celebrated two happy years together with Sheba, now 17, transformed from a struggling senior shelter dog to an "indoor couch queen that enjoys the finer things in life." Those finer things include frequent naps, regular snuggles with one of Pflueger's other dogs and being petted by her husband. "I think she might be in love with him," Pflueger said. Sheba also helps look after any of the new fosters that arrive in the house. Read more Most popular dog breeds with Gen Z, X, millennials and baby boomers Most popular dog breeds with Gen Z, X, millennials and baby boomers "Sheba is in retirement," Pflueger said. "She had never had a comfy dog bed before, let alone a couch or human bed to sleep on. Once we introduced her to these comfy spots, she decided that's where she was always meant to be and we'd often find her jumping up on the couch or choosing to wander down to our bedroom for an afternoon nap in our bed." Pflueger shared heartwarming footage to her @wethreepitties Instagram showing Sheba making up for lost time with a nap on his mom's bed. On the clip, which has been viewed 2 million times since being shared in February, Pflueger can be seen going over to pet her pooch companion and, for a brief moment, it looks as if Sheba is smiling. "There is honestly nothing better than seeing a dog who lived outside for 15 years sleep peacefully on a comfy, cozy bed," she said. "It may seem like an insignificant thing for lots of other dogs, but for her those moments are everything because she quite literally never had that before." Sheba might have lived much of her life as an "outdoor dog" but most experts agree there is no such thing. As Rob Halpin from Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals explained to The Dodo: "Keeping pet dogs outside consigns them to a life of loneliness and frustration. "Dogs are highly social animals whose ancestors and cousins—the wolves—live in packs. Wolves hunt together, sleep together and play together," he said. "Dogs don't have packs. They only have us. Depriving dogs of human companionship by forcing them to live outside blunts their natural desires and is its own form of animal cruelty." The thought of Sheba spending all that time outside is difficult for Pflueger to contemplate. "It honestly breaks my heart to think that she spent 15 whole years sleeping on the ground or in a plastic igloo... especially given how much she LOVES all of the comfiest spots in our home," she said. Thankfully, that's all in the past now. "When we took her in, we vowed to make sure she was comfy and cozy and in a peaceful and warm environment for the rest of her life," she said. It's a promise Pflueger has certainly delivered on.

Could Elon Musk Be Deported By Donald Trump? What to Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Steve Bannon has called for Elon Musk to be deported from the United States, after the dramatic bust up between the tech billionaire and President Donald Trump. In his War Room podcast Thursday, Trump's former White House chief strategist from his first term said: "Elon Musk is illegal … Deport immediately." The validity of Bannon's claim about Musk's naturalized U.S. citizen status is now likely to face more scrutiny than ever. Newsweek contacted Musk for comment on Friday via emails sent to the press offices of Tesla and SpaceX, where he serves as CEO, outside of regular office hours. Why It Matters Over the past few months Musk had been one of Trump's closest political allies spending $292 million to support him and other Republicans during the 2024 presidential election, providing vocal support on his social media platform X and heading the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which he left at the end of May. However, in the past week this relationship unraveled and Musk has now suggested Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance, while the president suggested Musk's companies could lose government contracts potentially imperiling SpaceX's relationship with NASA. What To Know Speaking to the New York Times on Thursday, prominent conservative commentator Bannon said: "They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately." Bannon later doubled down on this argument during an appearance on his War Room podcast when he said: "Elon Musk is illegal, and he's got to go. He's illegal? Deport immediately." "You're going to ship these other people home. Let's start with the South Africans, OK?" In October, 2024, the Washington Post published an article claiming that Musk had previously "worked illegally in the United States" by setting up a company while on a student visa in 1995, despite never enrolling in Stanford University as promised. Citing "former business associates, court records and company documents" the publication said Musk used a J-1 student visa to enter the U.S. but instead worked on a startup that became Zip2 without the requisite work visa. According to the Post, in a 2005 email used in a defamation lawsuit, Musk admitted that he applied to Stanford because he otherwise had "no legal right to stay in the country."

(left) and Elon Musk addressing reporters in the Oval Office of the White House on May 30, 2025 in Washington, D.C. (right). More Anna Moneymaker/Kevin Dietsch/GETTY The case was raised at a campaign event by then President Joe Biden who said: "That wealthiest man in the world turned out to be [an] illegal worker here when he was here. "I'm serious. He was supposed to be in school when he came on a student visa. He wasn't in school. He was violating the law. He's talking about all these illegals coming our way?" In a post on X shortly after the Post's story was published Musk denied the allegation against him, saying: "I was in fact allowed to work in the U.S." Born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1971, Musk moved to Canada in 1989 and later to the United States in 1992 to attend the University of Pennsylvania. He became a U.S. citizen in 2002 through the naturalization process after several years of living and working in the country. U.S. law states that citizenship gained through naturalization can be revoked if it was "procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation." Speaking to Wired about Musk, Professor Stephen Yale-Loehr, an immigration law expert at Cornell Law School, said that if the claims of illegal working are true "on purely legal grounds, this would justify revoking citizenship, because if he had told the truth, he would not have been eligible for an H1-B, a green card, or naturalization." Amanda Frost, a legal expert at the University of Virginia, said: "If a noncitizen violated the terms of a nonimmigrant visa, and then adjusted to immigrant (green card) status without admitting the violation, and then naturalized without admitting the violation, that person could be denaturalized on the ground that their naturalization was 'illegally procured." In a string of attacks on Friday, Musk called for Trump to be impeached, described what the president called his "Big Beautiful [spending] Bill" as "The Big Ugly Bill" and said Trump's tariffs policy would cause a recession in the second half of 2025. Trump fired back on his Truth Social website claiming Musk "just went CRAZY" adding: "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!" As the row intensified Musk posted: "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public." What People Are Saying In a post on X, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk said: "Let me get this straight: Democrats tried to put Trump in prison for 700 years, take his business empire from him, impeach him twice, take him off the ballot, and censor him on all social media—all the while they were sitting on info that Trump was on the Epstein list? This is total and complete nonsense." Reacting to the Trump-Musk bust up House Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said: "Oh man the girls are fighting aren't they?" On X, Ashley St. Clair, the mother of one of Musk's children, posted: "hey @realDonaldTrump lmk [let me know] if u need any breakup advice." What's Next It remains to be seen whether the Trump-Musk feud will continue and if so to what extent it will influence government policy. Trump has not given any indication he think's Musk's American citizenship should be investigated and according to Politico the two men are due to speak on Friday.
