The Least Suspected Person May Be EJ's Shooter—The DAYS Twist No One Expects
Despite being innocent all along, Johnny (Carson Boatman) has been arrested for attempted murder of his father. All the evidence points to him, but EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) knows his son was telling the truth when he said he handed him the gun after confronting him with it that night.

While Johnny's await remains to be sealed, many suspect it was young Rachel (Alice Halsey) who shot her uncle. She's been traumatized ever since that night, with motive to retaliate for EJ taking her grandmother away.
Rachel is certainly a viable suspect, but there's one part of the story many are overlooking.
What if the shooter all along was…wait for it… EJ!
After all, he was already beating himself up for the way Johnny learned about what he did to Sami (Alison Sweeney), resulting in his existence. Could Johnny's final confrontation at gun point have been EJ's last straw? Did the guilt become too much to bear and the gun in his hand seem too convenient? After months of mystery, did EJ actually shoot himself?

It may be the only way to clear anyone of the shooting, while also drawing in enemies who have since become suspects, like Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Rafe (Galen Gering).

Oxford's Geoffrey Esper takes fourth on the Fourth at Nathan's hot dog contest; Chestnut wins again
Geoffrey Esper, the fast-eating teacher from Oxford, placed fourth in Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating Contest on July Fourth at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York. As expected, the title went to Joey Chestnut, his 17th at the holiday event. Esper's total of 44 hot dogs in 10 minutes was impressive, but not enough to outdo Chestnut's buffet of 70.5 dogs. Once again, Esper wore a worn Boston Red Sox cap during the competition. Esper, 50, has strong ties to Central Mass. He is a teacher at Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School in Charlton and holds bachelor's and master's degrees in physics from Clark University. Esper has a handful of second-place finishes at the holiday event. He placed second a year ago, when Chestnut was sidelined and Patrick Bertoletti emerged with the crown. He placed second to Chestnut the three prior years. This article originally appeared on Telegram & Gazette: Oxford's Geoffrey Esper takes fourth on the Fourth at Nathan's hot dog contest

Caitlyn Jenner's Manager, Sophia Hutchins, Dies At 29 In ATV Accident

Authorities and family sources told the outlet that Hutchins was riding on an ATV down a road near Jenner's house when she collided with the bumper of a moving car carrying two passengers. Hutchins' ATV went careening off of the shoulder of the road before plummeting 350 feet down into a ravine. Hutchins was pronounced dead on the scene, according to TMZ. The passengers in the other vehicle were uninjured in the incident. HuffPost has reached out to Jenner and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for comment.

Back in 2018, Hutchins, who previously lived with Jenner, gushed about her bond with the reality star while referring to the two of them as a 'great match.'
