How images generated by AI are creating confusion during catastrophic weather events
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Zia Sad highlights the confusion caused by AI-generated images during extreme weather events. While some images from disasters like hurricanes appear real, many are manipulated, exaggerating damage and evoking strong emotions. A viral image of a girl with a puppy post-Hurricane Helen was mistakenly believed to be real, raising concerns about emotional manipulation. Experts emphasize the danger of these misleading images, which can create panic and trust issues. Jenny Catz, CEO of an emergency management app, advises people to scrutinize such images carefully, looking for signs of artificiality, and to source information from reputable outlets for authenticity.
Artificial Intelligence has come a long way in recent years, and now it’s easier than ever for machines to create images that look incredibly realistic.

The Evidence Room, Episode 38 – The Texas Killing Fields, Part 3
SUMMARY: The investigation into the murders of several women in League City, Texas, primarily centers on Clyde Hedrick, who was linked to the death of Ellen B. A key witness identified Hedrick as the last person seen with Ellen before her body was found. Despite his varying accounts, authorities were unable to initially prosecute him for murder due to inconclusive autopsy results. However, renewed investigation efforts, including exhuming Ellen’s body, supported the conclusion of a homicide via blunt force trauma. Testimony from his daughter further painted Hedrick as a manipulative predator. The complex case raises questions about past investigative failures and Hedrick’s connection to other unsolved murders.
In 1985, 29 year old Ellen Rae Beason’s body was found near the Galveston causeway. But it wasn’t until 2014 that someone was finally convicted for her death. Even though her body was found in Galveston County, Benson’s case is connected to the โKilling Fields’ murders in League City because of the prime suspect.
