Nicole Kidman Is Kay Scarpetta, Jamie Lee Curtis Her Sister in First Look at Patricia Cornwell Thriller Adaptation
Nicole Kidman is doing what medical examiner Kay Scarpetta does — examine things — in a first look at Prime Video's upcoming adaptation of the Patricia Cornwell novels. Kidman's Scarpetta can be spied at the 45-second mark in the Prime Video sizzle reel above, followed by a glimpse of Academy Award and Emmy winner Jamie Lee Curtis as Kay's sister Dorothy. More from TVLine The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Sets August Premiere on Amazon - See First Photos The Wheel of Time Cancelled After 3 Seasons The Bondsman Star Kevin Bacon 'Really Bummed Out' by Amazon Cancellation: 'I Wish I Had an Explanation' Ordered to series last September, the mystery-thriller stars Academy Award and Emmy winner Kidman as medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, who returns to Virginia (and her former job) amid complex personal and professional relationships — including the one with her sister, Dorothy. Additional cast members include Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) as Dorothy's daughter, Lucy Farinelli-Watson; Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire) as former detective Pete Marino; Simon Baker (The Mentalist) as FBI profiler Benton Wesley; Rosy McEwen (The Alienist) as Past Kay Scarpetta; and, fittingly, Jake Cannavale — Bobby's real-life son — as Past Pete Marino.

Cornwell's tagliatella bolognese-loving Scarpetta character was first introduced in 1990's Postmortem, and has appeared in nearly 30 novels since then — most recently, Identity Unknown (which hit shelves last autumn), with Sharp Force on deck for an October 2025 release. Both Kidman and Curtis (whose Comet Pictures back in 2021 secured rights to the Kay Scarpetta novels) act as executive producers on the series, alongside Cornwell, writer/showrunner Liz Sarnoff (Barry), Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, Chris Dickie, Chris McCumber, Per Saari,David Gordon Green and Amy Sayres.

Would you ask ChatGPT for dating advice? I did. Here is what it said
If Ms Parker had access to an AI chatbot, like I do, she would learn that we both suffer from an anxious (or preoccupied) attachment style. A deep craving for connection combined with a fear of abandonment. And Dorothy, you thought it was bad in 1928? You think you're frightening me with your hell, don't you? You think your hell is worse than mine? Your phone could only ring. Lately, attachment theory has exploded in popularity on platforms like TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. The psychological framework explains how early relationships with caregivers shape our understanding of adult relationships. It makes for great social media content because it's snappy enough for the byte-size attention span of the young and it feeds our fetish for therapy-speak. It creates at least some kind of structure for understanding the dumpster fire of modern dating. What would Dorothy Parker make of ChatGPT? (Image: free) The four main styles are secure, anxious/preoccupied, avoidant, and fearful/avoidant. Anxious and avoidant styles should really never be together, but we anxious folk love an avoidant heartthrob to fall head over heels for. And the result is typically an EF5 tornado that sucks up and spits out every shred of sanity you have left. I kept seeing attachment theory-related content in my feeds, and it piqued my curiosity. It coincided with conversations with friends about how AI chatbots could offer surprisingly decent dating advice (if taken with caution). Neurodivergent friends reported that it was helpful for decoding text messages and drafting responses, even in work situations. One friend told me it helped her to make sense of a toxic past relationship, helping her to unpack various manipulation tactics and patterns that presented in their messages. 'I use it because I've been naïve in the past and I feel like I can still be a bit naïve,' she said. ChatGPT helps with reading between the lines and gauging what someone's intentions are. Another friend found it useful for making sense of a manipulative relationship. A real anxious/preoccupied meets fearful/avoidant Tsunami Rollercoaster. She told me she typed in an overview of the relationship to the chat, everything of note that happened that she could think of. The chatbot had terms for every twist and turn she was riding under the track. There was the 'love bombing', the 'textbook manipulative reframing', 'push-pull dynamics', 'abandonment and emotional whiplash'. 'This is a loop of emotional destabilisation,' ChatGPT said. 'He creates chaos, you get hurt, he plays the victim, you soothe or save him, repeat.' 'It's not your fault for wanting to believe in the calm. Of course you did. That's your heart. That's your capacity for love and hope,' it added. The bot recommended no contact, confiding in a close friend, writing everything down and to start 'reconnecting with your own nervous system.' READ MORE MARISSA MACWHIRTER Once I had grappled with the jarring concept of confiding in a bot, I took an online attachment theory quiz and asked ChatGPT to unpack my newly diagnosed style. Overthinking, overanalysing, struggling with trust, tick tick tick. It was kind of fun, in a self-indulgent way. I decided to include some scenes from the latest dysfunctional dynamic I was entrenched in. For good measure, I rewrote some of Parker's prose for my modern dilemma: I mustn't. I mustn't, I mustn't. Please don't let me text him. Please keep me from doing that. I know, just as well as you do, that if he were worried about me, he'd call no matter where he was or how many people there were around him. Please make me know that.' 'The craving to text him? It's not love. It's the ache for closure, for clarity, for something kind to undo the cruelty,' ChatGPT replied. 'But you won't get it from him – you never have.' 'If he cared, he'd be here. He wouldn't be ignoring you while showing off to strangers. If he respected you, you wouldn't be begging your gut to stop screaming.' The bot also called my Parker prose the 'sound of a soul fighting its way out of a trap'. The advice was to block him and focus on myself in a myriad of ways. While I have saved you, dear reader, from the clichéd nuances of the situation, there is one thing I have to admit. No matter how I repackaged my plea for relationship advice, the responses were actually pretty good. And not far off what a friend would say. Read more I asked ChatGPT why it thinks it can help with relationship problems in a meaningful way. It doesn't get overwhelmed by emotion, it's trained on thousands of real stories, and it's judgment-free, is always available and doesn't get tired. 'I can give you clarity, consistency, language, and support when you're navigating something that's designed to disorient you,' it said. And unlike human friends, I can moan to it every hour about how hard it is not to text him. It's patient every time. Using an artificial intelligence chatbot to navigate relationship problems is very bizarre. I'm left wondering how this free resource will change romance forever. Though I suspect it already has. As far as navigating the murky waters of dating in The Twenties and relationships that blur reality beyond recognition, especially when they are toxic and manipulative, I would say it's a decent tool to add to the kit. But definitely not the only help we should be seeking. Mental health support is incredibly difficult to access if you don't have the funds to go private. ChatGPT can mimic Esther Perel for free if you prompt it right, and it pulls from scores of psychological and philosophical texts to provide pretty decent, straightforward answers. I have enjoyed whining to it all day about my latest crappy relationship (I'm sure my friends are enjoying the respite). But oh, God, keep me away from that telephone. Keep me away. Let me still have just a little bit of pride. I think I'm going to need it, God. I think it will be all I'll have.

Storm chaser shares memories of 2019 Linwood tornado
LINWOOD, Kan. – On May 28, 2019 a mile wide EF-4 tornado in Douglas and Leavenworth County, Kansas injured 18 people and the super cell produced another tornado causing damage all the way in Kearney Missouri. Communities had to rebuild, but luckily no lives were lost. The storm turned out to be one of the most significant in history for the scientific community. FOX4 Newsletters: Sign up for daily forecasts and Joe's Weather Blog in your inbox In the six years since the devastating Linwood tornado we've heard from the survivors, who rode out the EF-4 in their homes. 'Had Jesus on my side, I lived through it,' Linwood resident Dennie Roberts, whose wife was killed in Kansas City's 2003 tornado, said. FOX4 also spoke with thrill seekers who were sent flying in storm chasing tour vans. 'Immediately it just flipped us and we just bounced and rolled and banged like metal for what seemed like forever,' Jeff Lieberman said on the tornado's first anniversary. That day as FOX4 meteorologists were watching the radar and FOX4 crews were first on the scene to the damage alerting first responders to the immediate need extreme meteorologist and storm chaser Reed Timmer and his team were also watching the super cell as it formed south of Lawrence, Kansas. Timmer shared memories this week on .' Joe's Blog: So, why has it been so gray lately (WED-5/28) 'It was wrapped in rain and we chased the storm for a little while it produced a brief tornado in the rain and we knew it was gearing up to produce a large one,' Timmer recalled. As the tornado formed Timmer was trying to pull off something he hadn't been able to do before on a storm of its magnitude. The problem was the tornado was rain wrapped. 'You almost have to get into the path of the tornado to be able to see it back in the inflow notch and that's a very dangerous place to be,' Timmer they were able to launch a sensor called 'Dorothy' into the mile-wide twister recording wind speeds of 190 miles per hour, and thermodynamics like pressure fall, temperature and relative humidity. But as the sensor and parachute climbed in the mesocyclone to heights of more than 27,000 feet there was just one problem after the tornado passed and clean up began, finding it. Thankfully, 'Dorothy' was located 30 miles away in Leavenworth, Kansas while pots from Free State growers were found 50 miles away in Smithville, Missouri. Download the FOX4 News app on iPhone and Android With that single sensor recovered its the first time they were ever able to get data recovered at 10 times per second. Timmer says hopefully data collected will help go along way in better understanding tornadoes and maybe one day even preventing them. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Jane Doe no more: Remembering the unsolved murder of Dorothy 'Marie' Garlington
Editor's Note: In the video above, Susan Rogers of Odessa Crime Stoppers explains how local law enforcement actively reviews cold cases. She addresses the challenges of decades-old investigations and the time involved in processing evidence and DNA with today's technology. ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – On a spring afternoon in 1977, three men were out hunting rattlesnakes in a remote patch of West Texas when they stumbled upon something far more unexpected than a serpent. Among the mesquite bushes, weeds, and caliche, they found a decomposing body, abandoned, beaten, and forgotten in the brush northeast of Odessa. It would take weeks before authorities could even identify the young woman. But nearly five decades later, we know her name: Dorothy 'Marie' Horton Garlington. She was just 19 years old. She was known to many as 'Marie.' She had only been in Odessa about six months and worked as a go-go dancer at the Kon Tiki Lounge off 14th and Grant. The last time anyone reported seeing her alive was around May 4, 1977, walking away from the club. She never made it home. Dorothy's body was found on May 22, 1977, in a field near Loop 338. 18 days after she was reportedly last seen. She had suffered massive trauma to her head, her jaw shattered, her skull crushed. A blood-covered rock was discovered near the body and is believed to have been the murder weapon. Her cause of death was from blunt force trauma to the head, according to the Medical Examiner's reports. At the time, law enforcement had no way of knowing who she was. There were no missing person reports, no one waiting at a police station, no frantic phone calls from a family member. Days passed, and her body, which was badly decomposed, was ultimately buried under the name 'Jane Doe' in an Odessa Cemetery. More of The Big 2 Files: After 44 years and a dig through concrete, Judie Munguia is still missing According to Ector County Sheriff's records from the time, she was wearing black shorts, one sandal, and costume jewelry rings. A white blouse was found nearby. From the time she was found (May 22) until July 8, 1977, when deputies found her fingerprints in their files, Dorothy's identity was a mystery. It was only by chance that a sheriff's investigator decided to sift through fingerprint records at the Odessa Police Department. A minor shoplifting arrest two months prior, Dorothy had stolen a $5 small set of cosmetics, which provided the only fingerprint match…She was finally identified. 'The investigator at the time went over to the Odessa Police Department and was going through some fingerprint files, just seeing if they could find anything, and he just stumbled upon these fingerprints from this case a few weeks earlier,' Rogers said. Dorothy 'Marie' Garlington was born to Mr. Eston W. Horton and Mrs. Neida Gay Henry, who at the time reportedly lived in Nederland, Texas. At just 19 years old, she had recently moved to Odessa, where she lived intermittently in local motels and worked in several bars under the name 'Marie.' According to previous reports from that time, she had previously been married and divorced. Though she had few known local connections, she was still someone's daughter, a young woman navigating early adulthood in a new city. Her life, like so many who at the time came and went in oilfield towns, left behind only fragments: a fingerprint from a petty arrest, a white blouse found near her body, and scattered recollections from those who briefly crossed her path. But behind those pieces was a person. A young girl who never made it home. According to archived reports, Garlington had been working at several local clubs. Investigators interviewed bar staff and fellow performers, but few remembered her personally. Contemporary coverage reflected a notable lack of empathy. One bar manager, interviewed in 1978, focused more on Garlington's appearance and popularity with customers than on who she was as a person. Few coworkers remembered her beyond her stage name, 'Marie,' or the fact that she could dance. Yet the absence of personal recollection does not diminish the fact that she was a person, a person whose life and death mattered. Law enforcement interviewed numerous individuals during the initial investigation. 'I know a lot of people were talked to because of the type of work she did,' said Susan Rogers of Crime Stoppers. 'She came across a lot of people… There have been hundreds of hours of investigation on this case.' Reports had also shown that prior to her death, she had been in a relationship with a man that others described as 'physically abusive' and who had previously threatened her life. But according to those same reports, he had been ruled out as a suspect for unspecified reasons. When her identity was eventually confirmed weeks later, law enforcement notified her family. According to officials, her parents chose not to have her remains moved. Dorothy Marie Garlington remains buried in Odessa, in the same grave that was originally marked for a Jane Doe. 'She's still buried here in Odessa,' Rogers said. 'Her family decided to leave her where she was.' The case is now more than four decades old. Despite hundreds of hours of investigative work, no arrests were ever made. Garlington's death was part of a troubling pattern of unsolved cases in West Texas during the late 1970s and early 1980s. A 1978 Odessa American report listed eight violent deaths that remained unsolved, including another dancer, 26-year-old Eula Mae 'Kay' Rogers Miller, who was found stabbed in her Odessa apartment in July 1970. Her murder, like Garlington's, remains open. While no known connection exists between the two women, both worked in the city's nightlife scene and were killed under violent, unresolved circumstances. Miller's story will be featured in KMID/KPEJ's July Cold Case Spotlight. By the late 1970s, law enforcement agencies in the Permian Basin were battling a spike in crime. Overwhelmed departments struggled to keep pace with rapid population growth and an uptick in violent offenses. Sheriff Elton Faught acknowledged the burden, telling reporters in 1978, 'Investigations in cases like this are always continuing…' And Garlington's case is one of them: still open, still active, and still surrounded by questions her family hopes one day to have answered. 'She's got family that really are still interested,' Rogers said. 'I've talked with her sister, who lives down in Houston… they still have a lot of questions about what happened and why nobody's ever been arrested.' Garlington's murder was also among the earliest in what would become a deadly pattern. Just a few years later, Odessa would earn national infamy as the city with the highest murder rate in the United States. In March 1982 alone, four people were killed within three weeks, their cases still unsolved more than 40 years later. To learn more about how the wave of violence escalated, and the victims whose stories remain untold, read KMID/KPEJ's special investigation: Dorothy Marie Garlington was young. She was far from home. And though her time in Odessa was brief, her life mattered. More than 40 years have passed since she was found in a quiet field outside town, her name unknown, and her story nearly lost. But today, investigators are still searching for answers. Her case is still active. And her name is no longer forgotten. Anyone with information about the 1977 murder of Dorothy Marie Garlington is urged to contact Odessa Crime Stoppers at 432-333-TIPS or submit a tip anonymously through the P3 Tips app or on their website. Even the smallest detail could help close a case that's been open for decades and bring justice to a young woman who never got the chance to grow old. A reward may be available for information that leads to an arrest or resolution in the case. Gabriella Meza is a Journalist/Digital Reporter with ABC Big 2 News.
