Marissa Carmichael Is Still Missing and the Case Remains Unsolved
As of January 2026, the Greensboro Police Department confirms that the investigation is still active, with no new public updates available. Detectives have followed up on tips, including false alarms like the discovery of a body near the Greensboro Arboretum in March 2025, which turned out not to be Marissa.
That’s the frustrating reality at the two-year mark: this case has never stopped hurting her family, and it has never stopped bothering the Greensboro community—be

Issa Rae Just Leveled Up Again: The Paramount Deal That Could Shape What We’re Watching Next
Issa Rae’s career has always moved like a strategy, not a streak.
Even when the industry tried to treat her like a “moment,” she kept building like she was planning a decade ahead: create the work, own the pipeline, bring your people with you, then expand the kind of stories that get funded in the first place. That’s why this latest move matters, not just for Issa fans, but for anybody paying attention to who gets to be a real power player in Hollywood.

Texas is moving fast toward a hemp/THC overhaul that could change what adults can legally buy, who can afford to sell it, and how aggressively the state enforces the rules. And in places like North Texas—where CBD and vape shops are on every other corner—this isn’t some abstract Austin policy debate. It’s payroll. It’s rent.
