22-year-old newlywed Keris Riebel lost her life in a brutal manner when a man with a machete entered the Dollar Tree store in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, where she worked and killed her.
According to authorities, the tragic incident took place at the shop at 1120 Wyandot Ave. around 4:25 p.m.
When police officers and an ambulance arrived at the scene, Riebel was pronounced dead.
The killer, later identified at 27-year-old Bethel Bekele was tracked down and arrested in the 100 block of South Fifth Street, where he was sitting in a parked automobile near the Wyandot County Sheriff’s Office. He was since charged with murder.
The reason behind the killing remains a mystery.
It is also not known whether the killer and the victim knew each other from before or she simply found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The entire community is mourning the loss of the young woman who had married the love of her life just recently.
“It’s terrible to see something like this in Upper Sandusky, because it’s such a wonderful place,” one of the residents of the neighborhood said.
During these difficult times for the family and Riebel’s husband, who has taken some time off of work to grieve, the victim’s aunt started a GoFundMe page to help with the funeral expenses.
Riebel was a Bachelor of Science in Human Resources and had many plans. She and her husband had just started their life together and were looking forward to getting a pet and starting a family, but that was all taken away from them in the blink of an eye.
Riebel was described as a “wonderful spirit with a faith-filled heart” by Wynford Local Schools, where she graduated in 2019. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and radiated joy and optimism. Truly one of a kind.
“The death of such a brilliant and promising young woman is extremely tragic, and our hearts go out to her husband, family, and loved ones during this difficult time,” the GoFundMe states.
Rest in peace beautiful soul. We hope the justice would be served and the killer would get what he deserves, many years behind bars.

Sir Michael Caine has had an impressive career. Appearing in over 130 movies throughout the seven decades of being part of Hollywood, he’s considered a living icon.
What’s even more impressive about this legendary actor is that he’s been married to the love of his life since 1973 and they are still going strong, something not typical for most Hollywood love stories.
Caine first spotted his future wife in a commercial, as she as well worked as an actress and a model. Looking at her, Caine’s palms started sweating and he just knew she was the one. Luckily, they happened to have a mutual friend who helped the Dress to Kill star get into touch with Shakira.

Nearly five decades later, they share one of the most beautiful love stories the world has ever heard of.
Speaking of her impact on his life, Caine revealed that she has saved his life, literally.
Back in the day, he experienced troubles breaking his bad habits, which included drinking a bottle of vodka and smoking several packs of cigarettes a day. But thanks to Shakira and her support, Caine changed his life from the core and became a healthy man.
“She saved my life, really. Without her, I’d have been dead long ago,” the actor admitted.

Considering his age and health, Caine’s decades-long career might be coming to an end, or at least that’s what fans have been assuming ever since Shakira shared that he had undergone a major back surgery at London Hospital in March of 2022.
Caine was treated for spinal stenosis, a condition of narrowing of the spinal canal that gives rise to symptoms of compression of the spinal nerves or sometimes the spinal cord and which leads to severe back and leg pain.
Speaking with BBC Radio’s Kermode and Mayo’s Film Review, Caine said that the 2021 film, Best Sellers, might be the last time he would be seen in a movie.
“Funnily enough, it has turned out to be my last part, really,” Caine admitted.
“I don’t have any… there haven’t been any offers, obviously, for two years because nobody’s been making any movies that I wanna do, but also I’m 88,” he said, as per Page Six. “There’s not exactly scripts pouring out with a leading man who’s 88, you know?”

He, however, starred as Lord Boresh in Medieval in 2022.
“I know my days are numbered and that’s the main worry,” he told The Sun back in 2017. “I’ve had to cut back on the drinking and I’m always looking up what’s the best thing against cancer, so I’ll eat that or do this or not do that.”

Recently, the couple have been spotted enjoying a night out. As Caine walked using a walking frame, his wife was there to support him.
The two were nicely dressed. The Dark Knight actor wore a navy blazer with a blue button-down shirt, while his better half wore a red lace blouse with a silky black blazer and matching pants. She rounded off her look with an eye-catching pair of pearls earrings and a red handbag.

The love between Michael Caine and Shakira is a true inspiration.
We wish them great health and many more years of love.

An incredibly heartwarming photo showing six generations of women from the same family has gone viral recently as it captured the attention of a large number of people.
At the top end of the age scale is 99-year-old MaeDell Taylor Hawkins who is holding her seven-month-old great-great-great-granddaughter Zhavia Whitaker in her arms while the rest of the women, including MaeDell’s daughter, Frances Snow, 77, granddaughter Gracie Snow Howell, great-granddaughter Jacqueline Ledford, 29, and great-great-granddaughter Jaisline Wilson, 19, are posing behind them. Today, MaeDell has more than 620 grandchildren from her own daughters and their children’s children.
“I know it’s rare for six generations … it’s even rarer for all of them to be the same gender,” MaeDell’s granddaughter Howell, 58, told Good Morning America. “We’re all girls — girl power, as well.”

When they snapped the photo and shared it on the social media, none of them knew it would attract that much attention.
“We just kind of planned a day, and we just all met and grandma knew we were coming,” Howell, who now lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, said.
MaeDell got married back in 1940 when she was just 16 years old. Her husband was 50-year-old rail worker Bill Taylor who at the time had 10 children and needed someone to take care of them while he was at work. MaeDell took the role of a mother and went on to have 13 children on her own.

The family lived a very simple life as they lacked electricity, running water, and a stove, among the rest.
Getting married young was normal back in the day. Speaking of it, Howell said, “Now we don’t. We have children later in our life, so families are not that big. Having six generations is very, very rare to start with.”
The Kentucky matriarch now boasts a whopping 623 descendants, according to a family chart shared by her daughter-in-law, Janice Taylor. They include 106 grandchildren, 222 great-grandchildren, 234 great-great-grandchildren and 37 great-great-great-grandchildren.
“If everything goes well, the baby’s doing well, Grandma’s doing well – we’re all going to meet back in June and get another picture,” the family shared.

Actress Donna Mills is one of those women who are gifted with exceptional beauty. No matter how many years pass by, they still look as gorgeous as ever.
Her looks, along with her talent, helped Mills become a household name. From the moment she landed a role on the CBS daytime soap opera The Secret Storm in 1966, it was obvious she was meant for great things. As all eyes were on her, her career skyrocketed with the iconic role of scheming, manipulative vixen Abby Cunningham on the long-running primetime soap opera Knots Landing and a major recurring guest-starring role in the popular soap opera General Hospital.

At the same time as her career blossomed, Mills was also trying to find love. Eventually, she started a relationship with guitarist Richard Holland, the ex-husband of singer Chaka Khan with whom he had a son, Damian. Many believed that Mills and Holland made a somewhat odd couple as their personalities were very different. She perceived herself as an active and motivated go-getter, while Holland rarely found motivation to do things. Those close to him always described him as laid back.
The public even believed that he was with her for her money and the comfort she provided for him. Shortly after they started a relationship, Holland settled with Mills in her $1.5 million mansion where she prepared a room for his son who visited them and sometimes stayed with them over the weekends.

The two stayed together and she always considered their relationship “turbulent.” During the 20 years they were going on and off, they never started a family or had a child on their own.
Mills was way too busy building her career and never felt like something was missing in her life, until she reached 54 and decided she wanted to become a mother. Many criticized her decision, saying it was late for her to embark on such a journey as parenthood, but Mills was determined to have a child. In 1994, at the height of her acting career, Mills adopted daughter Chloe, who was just four days old.
The role of a mother was so fitting to Mills that she made a shocking decision to put her career on hold and focus on raising her baby girl.
Chloe is a celebrity in her own right. She is an influencer and a model, as well as a member of the popular California-based arts, politics and media club Soho House. She’s dating musician Bailey Joshua.
Just like her daughter, Mills found love herself. Although her relationship with Holland was an unstable one, the Knots Landing star never lost hope of falling in love again. For the last 20 years, she’s been together with another Hollywood star, actor and producer Larry Gilman, whom she describes as her soul mate.
He is best known for his roles in the television series Texas Rangers between 1980 to 1981, the feature film Secrets, and the popular CBS war comedy-drama television series, M*A*S*H.
In 2015, he surprised her with a vineyard.
Recently, Mills posed alongside two other stars of her kind, Linda Gray and Joan Collins. The three 80s lead women appeared radiant and glowing, leaving their fans in awe.
It’s safe to say that the three actresses defy age.
The trio had come together for a magazine shoot, as was evident from Mills’ caption, which read:
“What a delight working with these lovely ladies. Thank you Hello Magazine @hellomag for a terrific story in your latest issue.”
Mills was dressed in a sparkling pink outfit, while Collins stunned in a gorgeous black dress and Gray opted for a shimmery gray and silver attire.
As expected, the post attracted the attention of many who dubbed the three ladies “icons,” “soap queens,” and “legends.”
“Dallas, Dynasty & Knots Landing in one frame. These Iconic ladies made those shows!” a fan wrote.

In June 2022, Mills appeared on the Tamron Hall Show where she discussed her decision to take a break from acting and focus on her daughter and fans couldn’t believe she was 81 at the time. Stunned by her looks at such advanced age, they couldn’t help but comment. “She hasn’t aged a bit,” one fan wrote.
Some two years ago, in an interview, Mills revealed her secret to such a youthful looks and said that she minds her eating by avoiding pasta, starch, and sugar, and never misses her workout, which involves weight training and stretching. She also revealed that she’s been dancing at the ballet room in her home gym.
Her diet consists of proteins, fruits, and veggies, most of which grow in her own garden.
Mills says she doesn’t like undergoing cosmetic procedures but embraces her wrinkles and loves to age naturally. She avoids the sun and does her own makeup.
We are very glad Donna Mills found love and is living her life to the fullest.

According to statistics, approximately eight million children are reported missing worldwide every year.
Just imagine the fear and the devastation of parents whose children end up in the hands of complete strangers. That has to be the worst thing a mom and dad could ever experience.
Sadly, the UK government reports that public understanding of parental child abduction is alarmingly low.
A story which comes from South Africa and involves attempted abduction made one grandmother a hero. Her bravery and quick-thinking helped save her grandson from ending up in the hands of the wrong people.
Grandma Zelinda was asked to watch over her 3-year-old grandson Lucas while his parents were away from home.
She started her story by saying that she put the little one to sleep.
“I overheard some noises coming from the front door in the middle of the night. The power went off across the entire home when I attempted to turn on the light in my room. I knew right away that something wasn’t right. I walked straight to Lucas’ room and gently cuddled him without waking him upandI immediately heard footsteps coming from the ground floor of the home, indicating that someone was inside.
“It was absolutely dark inside the house, and I was going on the roof with Lucas in my arms, my heart racing fast, and I began to quiver with panic. I made a little drop off the stairs in an effort to locate the home intrudersthen I walked to the kitchen and opened the entrance to the garage because I heard footsteps in the house’s living room. I was unable to go since the garage door was locked and I didn’t have the key,” the grandma explained.
“Without waking Lucas, I popped the trunk of the car and put Lucas there gently. I wanted to shout but refrained because I felt like I was choking on terror. When I returned to the kitchen, a powerful hand grabbed me and whispered, ‘Don’t move, don’t make noise, where is the child?’ in a deep voice.
“There were two men with masks. They questioned me ‘WHERE IS THE CHILD?’ once more. When I informed them that he wasn’t at home, one of them became angry, grabbed me by the back of my head, slammed me on the floor of the living room, and yelled, ‘Don’t MOVE.’ Using handheld flashlights, the men started looking through the home.
“I could have gone out the door and fled, but I knew Lucas was there, so I stayed still on the floor as they instructed me. I grabbed a chair and tossed it in the living room’s huge window as soon as the men entered the kitchen. The sound was really loud, and the glass broke. The men fled in terror, oblivious of what was taking place.”
“I sprinted over to Lucas, who was still asleep, embraced him, and gave him a kiss. I broke down in uncontrollable tears. After hearing the noise, neighbors arrived. They called the cops. Thank goodness nothing happened and nobody was injured. I used to see reports about kidnappings of children, but I never imagined it would happen to me.”
“The grandma received praise from the police and her neighbors for her composure and tenacity. And Lucas asked his grandma, “Grandma, what happened to the window?” as he noticed the shattered window in the living room.”
After everything was over, Lucas woke up, looked at the window and asked his grandma what happened to it. She replied, “I broke it.”
“Will Mom and Dad be unhappy because you shattered the window?” Lucas asked.
With a smile of relief on her face, the grandma replied, “I’m sure they’ll understand.”
Needless to say, the grandma was dubbed a hero.

Most of the habits children acquire during their younger days are there to stay for a lifetime, and that is why it is important to teach them how to be responsible and understand the importance of being punctual and hard-working.
Now if you think this isn’t true for the children of celebs or even royals, you are far from the truth.
Prince George, who is second in line of succession to the British throne is said to be well aware of the future that awaits him. His parents, William and Kate, make sure he knows he would become a king one day and expect from him to act accordingly when the time comes for such a huge role.
In the meantime, he and his siblings lead a normal life, as much as something like that is possible.

During an episode of Apple’s Time to Walk, Prince William spoke of the family’s estate Norfolk home of Anmer Hall and said that they spend plenty of days of the summer there. The children have lots of fun and enjoy the surrounding and everything it offers.
“We spend as much time as we can here, it’s very peaceful,” William said.
According to him, the couple’s eldest child, Prince George, loves helping around.
During a visit of a local farm in Wales in March, George got interested in a robot silage sweeper, which the owner, Gary, kept in a barn and used it for moving feed with it.
“That was George’s job at half term – moving feed,” Kate revealed.

As it turns out, the royal children have been doing farming in the past as well. Back in 2020, while speaking to elementary teacher Rhian Roberts, who is also a farm owner, William shared that the children helped deliver lambs during their time off from school.
“We’ve been lambing with the children this week,” William told Rhian. “Charlotte wasn’t sure at first, but George was straight in there. Louis loves the tractors.”
The family also loves visiting Scotland and enjoying the nature there. “George, Charlotte and Louis already know how dear Scotland is to both of us and they are starting to build their own happy memories here too,” William said last year.

William and Kate have rules that their children follow, including going to bed at a given time. They usually use a trick to get them to sleep.
“We started watching one of [David Attenborough’s] newest documentaries. It’s amazing at bedtime when I can crowd the children, just shouting ‘we’re going to watch one of David’s documentaries’ and they come herding in,” William told BBC Radio 4.
“It’s the easiest way to catch my children and get them ready for bedtime.”
Watching these episodes is a true enjoyment for the family.
“The most recent one — the extinction one — actually George and I had to turn it off,” he explained.
“We got so sad about halfway through. He said to me, ‘You know I don’t want to watch this anymore.’”
“You know, he’s seven years old and he’s asking me these questions already, he really feels it. And I think every seven-year-old out there can relate to that,” William added.

William and Kate also make sure to limit the time their children spend in front of a screen, whether that’s mobile phones or TV.
George, Charlotte, and Louis all have inherited their father’s love for music.
“Most mornings, there’s a massive fight between Charlotte and George as to what song is played in the morning. And I have to, now, basically prioritize that one day someone does this one, and another day it’s someone else’s turn. So George gets his go, then Charlotte gets her go. Such is the clamor for the music.”

One of the songs they all love is Shakira’s Waka Waka.
“There’s a lot of hip movements going along. There’s a lot of dressing up. Charlotte, particularly, is running around the kitchen in her dresses and ballet stuff and everything,” William explained.
“She goes completely crazy with Louis following her around trying to do the same thing. It’s a really happy moment where the children just enjoy dancing, messing around, and, and singing.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales are wonderful parents.
