Missing woman found dead in Fresno County, Turlock police report
A woman who went missing May 2 in Newman was found dead in Selma in Fresno County, the Turlock Police Department said Monday night.
The Selma Police Department notified Turlock police that it was investigating the discovery of a deceased person.
Turlock police said the person matched the description of 44-year-old Kelsy Ramos. Detectives from the Stanislaus County city traveled to Selma and confirmed Ramos' identity.
Both agencies ruled out foul play at the scene.
The Selma Police Department will continue leading the death investigation, and the official cause of death will be determined pending coroner and toxicology reports.
Ramos' family was notified, police said. 'To Kelsy's family, friends, and loved ones — our hearts are with you. We ask our community to join us in lifting them up during this incredibly difficult time,' the Turlock Police Department posted on Facebook.
Ramos was last seen by family members around 10:30 a.m. May 2 in Newman. By 10:55 a.m., she was reportedly in Turlock, driving her white 2017 Nissan Versa near Fulkerth Road and Countryside Drive. Later that day, at 3:23 p.m., her vehicle was confirmed to be in Fresno on West Shaw Avenue.
She was reported missing to Turlock police at 3:39 p.m. the same day.
A Facebook group titled 'Finding Kelsy Ramos' was created by Ramos' mother, Teri Ramos, to aid in the search and has already gained nearly 2,000 followers. A missing-person flyer shared in the group notes that Ramos took blood pressure medication, which she did not have with her.

Sonoma man arrested after police say they found him with meth, guns
Police officials in Santa Rosa and Petaluma arrested a Sonoma man Wednesday on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine and firearms, authorities said. Police identified the suspect as Kelly James Roach, 59, who is a convicted felon and prohibited from possessing firearms, officials said. On the 5300 block of Old Redwood Highway in Petaluma, detectives initiated a traffic stop on Roach, searched his vehicle and discovered a loaded 1911 Colt .45 in a Crown Royal bag on the floorboard, police said. About 2½ ounces of suspected methamphetamine was found under Roach's seat cover, authorities said. Roach was booked into the Sonoma County Jail. Detectives also executed search warrants at two storage units on the 6000 block of Commerce Drive in Rohnert Park on Wednesday, according to a Facebook post by the Santa Rosa police. There, they located a stockpile of handguns, rifles, rounds of ammunition and firearm parts. It was not clear if the storage units belonged to Roach. Santa Rosa police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

16 billion login credentials from Google and other sites leaked online, report says
Sixteen billion login credentials have been leaked and compiled into datasets online, giving criminals "unprecedented access" to accounts consumers use each day, according to researchers at cybersecurity outlet Cybernews. According to a report published this week, Cybernews researchers have recently discovered 30 exposed datasets that each contain a vast amount of login information — amounting to a total of 16 billion compromised credentials. That includes user passwords for a range of popular platforms including Google, Facebook and Apple. Because 16 billion is roughly double the amount of people on Earth today, the number signals that impacted consumers may have had credentials for more than one account leaked. Cybernews notes that there are most certainly duplicates in the data and so "it's impossible to tell how many people or accounts were actually exposed." It's also important to note that the leaked login information doesn't stem from a single source, such as one breach targeting a company. Instead, it appears that the data was stolen through multiple events over time, and then compiled and briefly exposed publicly, which is when Cybernews reports that its researchers discovered it. Various so-called "infostealers" are most likely the culprit, Cybernews noted. Infostealers are a form of malicious software that breaches a victim's device or systems to take sensitive information. The report comes amid a recent wave of cybersecurity attacks, which have grown more advanced in recent years. Two insurers, Erie Insurance and Philadelphia Insurance Companies, announced that their networks were hacked earlier this month. On Friday, Aflac said hackers gained access to its customers' personal information in a cybersecurity attack last week. Experts worry the situation may only get worse, CBS News' 60 Minutes recently reported. Experts call for "cyber hygiene" Many questions remain about these leaked credentials, including whose hands the login credentials are in now. But, as data breaches become more and more common in today's world, experts continue to stress the importance of maintaining key "cyber hygiene." If you're worried about your account data potentially being exposed in a recent breach, the first thing you can do is change your password — and avoid using the same or similar login credentials on multiple sites. If you find it too hard to memorize all your different passwords, consider a password manager or passkey. And also add multifactor authentication, which can serve as a second layer of verification through your phone, email or USB authenticator key.

Man charged with attempted kidnapping of Memphis mayor
A Memphis man was charged on Wednesday for attempted kidnapping after allegedly stalking Mayor Paul Young (D). Police said Trenton Abston, 25, has also been charged for criminal trespassing after visiting Young's home on Sunday. Investigators said at the time of Abston's arrest, officers recovered a taser, gloves, rope, and duct tape from his vehicle. 'Upon further review of both public and private security camera footage, we have determined that the suspect did not approach multiple homes, as initially reported,' the Memphis Police Department said in a Wednesday statement. 'Instead, after scaling a wall, the individual went directly to the Mayor's residence,' they added. Abston is scheduled to appear in court on Monday morning. Young addressed the incident in a Facebook post on Wednesday, thanking officers for apprehending Abston while citing a growing concern for targeted political violence after two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota were shot over the weekend along with their spouses. 'In today's climate, especially after the tragic events in Minnesota and the threats my wife and I often receive online, none of us can be too careful. The link between angry online rhetoric and real-life violence is becoming undeniable,' Young wrote. 'What starts as reckless words online can all too quickly become something much more dangerous. The angry rhetoric, the hateful speech, and the heated threats create a culture where violence feels like a next step instead of a red line,' he added. 'We cannot allow that line to be crossed.'
