Daphne's Case Files : Daphne presented a really interesting raft of information today some of which I believe is new—Nancy had put her home up for sale in the past; Annie's different businesses and partners, plus rumors that A&Ts house is up for sale and they are not in the area; electrical permits for Nancy's House, plus the remains of 6 bodies found between May and now in the general vicinity of Hwy 10, including one yesterday.

Brian Entin interviews another forensic psychologist person involved in police work. He believes Nancy's abduction was a home invasion gone wrong and states some compelling reasons why.

Ben Ayers sheds some more light on the unfortunate presumed- death of Hillary Dawa Sherpa and his conversation with Chris Thrall, who is the last person to speak with Hillary Dawa.

Thom Pollard's take on the Everest season, speaking with [Backcountry Pod] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHh26dSRWa0) about what happens when the hordes leave the mountain and the remaining few elite (and some not so elite) climbers remain. He shares some fascinating insights into the workings of the mountain and the climbing season.

Pollard is always a blast to listen to IMHO, he was a part of the legendary Everest Research Expedition (cameraman) that found the lost body of Mallory.

Ben Ayers of Everest Live! discusses this Everest season, the numbers (more than 700 record! the latest news as of 4 hours ago of the No 0s crowd, the record setters this season and like that. Discusses the Tyler dilemma (I think that's a moot point now) The Ice doctors will be removing the ladders from the Icefall soon so people are desperate to complete their climb!

Lots of interesting stuff from Ben, as usual. Give a listen!

Big thanks to Ben for keeping it real this Everest climbing season

Kristin Harila of Norway, with Mingtemba Sherpa and Pasang Rinzee Sherpa, and Justin Sackett of the U.S., with Tenjing Sherpa, have not yet confirmed, but they may join the final push. Sackett moved up to Camp 3 yesterday and planned to reach Camp 4 this morning. Harila was on her way to Camp 4 earlier today, and she knows tonight is her best chance.

Also, "crazy basejumper" from the UK reportedly headed for summit from camp 2

The best channel for Everest reporting this season. Not least because they live and work in Nepal.

Ayers reports the mountain will close probably on the 28-29th of May, the vast majority of climbers have completed their Everest climb for this year but there are still a few who wil opt for a late window.

Thanks for the great reporting Ben! Best of luck to you and the team going forward into your new adventures.

>Teams are positioned at the South Col to make the first major summit push of the 2026 season, while other teams leave Basecamp to take advantage of one of the best weather windows in recent memory.

• Biyaya was the first person from his community to summit Mt Everst in 2019 - (3 summits at the time of his passing) - he was 35 years old. Cause of death has not been determined AFAIK.

Ben Ayers of 'Everest Live' takes a deep but gentle dive into Nepal's society, its foundations, and some of its norms and where Bijaya fit into that mosaic. (not sure why my embedded links are not going live.
