Kessler Twins, Who Performed With Frank Sinatra, Die By Assisted Suicide On The Same Day

Twin sisters Alice and Ellen Kessler, known in the entertainment world as the Kessler twins, both died by assisted suicide at the age of 89. The sisters rose to fame in the 1950s and performed with some of the biggest stars of the day including Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Rock Hudon, and Sammy Davis Jr., per CNN. They enlisted the help of the German Society for Humane Dying to commit suicide.  “The decisive factor is likely to have been the desire to die together on a specific date,” society spokesperson Wega Wetzel told the outlet of their planned deaths. “Their desire to die was well-considered, long-standing, and free from any psychiatric crisis.” Assisted suicide in certain circumstances has been legal in Germany since 2020. During an interview last year with the Italian outlet Corriere della Sera, the twin sisters said they were choosing assisted suicide because of their “desire is to go away together, on the same day. The idea of ​​one of us going first is very hard to bear.” “They had been considering this option for some time. They had been members of the organization for over a year. A lawyer and a doctor conducted preliminary discussions with them,” the the German Society for Humane Dying said in a statement, per Today. “People who choose this option in Germany must be absolutely clear-headed, meaning free and responsible. The decision must be thoughtful and consistent, meaning made over a long period of time and not impulsive.” The Kessler sisters were born in Nazi Germany and escaped with their family from East Germany to West Germany in 1952. They launched their careers by performing at Lido in Paris, which was a popular place for cabaret performances. The twins went on to achieve international fame and also appeared on popular American television programs, including “The Ed Sullivan Show” and “The Dean Martin Show.” The official Instagram account for “The Ed Sullivan Show” paid tribute to the sisters following their deaths, writing, “Honoring the extraordinary lives of the Kessler Twins. Alice & Ellen were dazzling stars, true legends, and sisters whose grace, charm, and magic will shine forever.” Assisted suicide is becoming increasingly more common around the world, with Canada leading the charge as the world leader in euthanasia. As The Daily Wire previously reported, assisted suicide accounts for one in 20 deaths in Canada. The country is also planning to start offering euthanasia to the mentally ill and to minors.

Conservative Leaders Gather to Keep Antisemitism Out of the GOP, Conservative Movement

Christian, Jewish, and other conservative leaders gathered in Washington, D.C., Tuesday to urge the conservative movement and the Republican Party to prevent antisemitism from taking a foothold on the Right. “The conservative movement and the Republican Party cannot flirt with antisemitism,” Pastor Mario Bramnick, president of the Latino Coalition for Israel, declared in remarks Tuesday at The Line Hotel. Bramnick is one of four co-chairs of the National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism. “Wherever it arises on the Left, Right, or in between, we declare in America zero tolerance to any antisemitism in our nation,” Bramnick said. “It is an anti-Christian, anti-American, and anti-Western way of living.” Another co-chair, Luke Moon, opened the gathering by recounting the task force’s history and noting that while “the fight on the Left is still happening,” he warned of “an emergency threat on the Right.” “People who were aligning themselves with the Democratic Socialists of America called for a full boycott—military and otherwise—of Israel,” Moon, a pastor and executive director of the Philos Project, recalled. “The Left did not call, ‘Enough!’ Did not stop that road.” He called on conservatives to “build a robust coalition that is willing to take on the challenge we have on the Right.” A third co-chair, Ellie Cohanim, former deputy special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism at the State Department during the first Trump administration, also addressed the gathering. A Jew who grew up in Iran and immigrated legally to the U.S., Cohanim warned that “where antisemitism rises, freedom falls. Jews are the world’s canary in the coal mine. When hatred of Jews is tolerated, it signals a deeper moral decay, one that inevitably threatens everyone in that society.” She remarked that in the coalition, she saw “Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and all faiths, who refused to let hate divide us.” The fourth co-chair, Victoria Coates, head of The Heritage Foundation’s center for national security, could not attend because she was in Helsinki, Finland. What Is Antisemitism? Rabbi Yaakov Menken, executive vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values, set forth two tropes as emblematic of antisemitism. “If you look at someone saying that Jewish property is stolen—anything owned by Jews is acquired by fraud or deceit—or should I say, occupation—that is an antisemite,” he said. The other trope involves the claim that “Jews are unfair with everybody else.” Menken said this explains why so many people refer to the Jewish state of Israel by “a European colonialist monicker.” He pronounced “Palestine” with an F at the beginning, adding, “It sounds like a combination of ‘false’ and ‘Frankenstein,’ because it actually is.” Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, attacked the idea that Zionism is a Christian heresy. He attacked those who would claim that “pro-Israel Christians are squeezed by a brain virus,” asking if that would apply to U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, or Secretary of State Marco Rubio, or even President Donald Trump. He declared that Americans can offer “no appeasement” to antisemitism, “only a war against this racist hatred against the Jewish people.” Leo Terrell Leo Terrell, senior counsel to Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights in the Justice Department, also addressed the gathering. Terrell said the president and Attorney General Pam Bondi are “100% committed” to fighting antisemitism. “Help me help you,” he said. “I’m committed. I’m all in. I will never compromise fundamental rights, the civil rights of Jews in this country.” “We haven’t done enough until everyone is treated equally, and that’s just basic common sense,” Terrell added. The Christian Response Many speakers emphasized their Christian faith, pushing back on the idea that “Christian Zionism” is a “brain virus” or a “heresy.” Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, noted that in much of American Christian culture, “being a good Christian means defending the Jews.” He recalled his parents going to school with survivors of the Holocaust. “Don’t believe the media: America’s Christians stand with Israel,” he said. Reed also cited George Gilder’s book “The Israel Test.” He argued that in every collectivist ideology, such as socialism, Nazism, or communism “because they punish success and they are based on a politics of envy and resentment, they are either antisemitic at the origin or they become antisemitic.” “Any economic system or ideology that is based on the hatred of, the envy of, and the resentment of merit-based success and achievement … will come to hate the Jew,” he warned. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, noted that “80% of what we read about in scripture took place” in Judea and Samaria, the land now euphemistically referred to as “the West Bank.” “If we continue to foster this false idea that there is this land available to the Palestinians, we will continue to foment antisemitism,” he warned. Gerald McDermott, an Anglican theologian who teaches at Reformed Episcopal Seminary, directly addressed the claim that Christian Zionism is a “brain virus.” He noted that the idea that God gave the Jews the land of Israel appears “1,000 times” in the Bible, and is “all over the New Testament.” “It’s a brain virus for Christians not to see it,” he argued. “Unity is never worth preserving if it’s used to protect evil.” A Choice in the Movement Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., the first congressman to wear a kippah on the House floor, warned that conservatives “have a choice in our movement today.” “Are we going to do what the Democrats did” in ignoring the threat, “or are we going to stand up and are we going to punch it right in the face?” The post Conservative Leaders Gather to Keep Antisemitism Out of the GOP, Conservative Movement appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Trump defends H-1B; undercuts his own immigration narrative

Whether it’s building the wall or mass deportations, President Trump’s most memorable position for the past decade has been immigration.But in a recent interview on Fox News, the president made it clear that his view on H-1B visas doesn’t align with his illegal immigration policy.“Does that mean the H-1B visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration? Because if you want to raise wages for American workers, you can’t flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of workers,” host Laura Ingraham said to the president.“You also do have to bring in talent,” Trump responded.“Well, we have plenty of talented people,” Ingram fired back, to which Trump responded, “No, you don’t.”“You can’t take people off … an unemployment line and say, ‘I’m going to put you into a factory; we’re going to make missiles.’ … It doesn’t work that way,” Trump continued.“I mean, the truth is, like, Trump has always been a little squishy on this issue,” BlazeTV co-host Lomez says on “Rufo & Lomez,” pointing to an episode of the “All-In Podcast” where during an interview, the president spoke about preserving student visas.“Let me just tell you that it’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, from the greatest schools and lesser schools that are phenomenal schools also. … What I want to do and what I will do is you graduate from a college, I think you should get, automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country,” Trump said.“And that includes junior colleges, too. Anybody graduates from a college, you go in there for two years or four years. If you graduate or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country,” he continued.Lomez tells co-host Christopher Rufo that he believes Trump is compromising with Big Tech, noting that the industry says “they’re dependent on these H-1Bs to sort of continue the business model that they currently have.”While this is “actually probably true,” he’s not pleased with Trump helping this industry in this way.“It is not therefore incumbent on the United States people and on President Trump to allow them to continue these abusive practices with regards to H-1B. So while that might be their business model, it ought not to be their business model, and we may have to take some coercive action so that they change their business model,” Lomez says.However, he also believes that what President Trump has said regarding H1-Bs is being taken "way out of proportion.”“It is a statement on a news show that is not necessarily reflected in what is actually happening from a policy point of view,” Lomez says.“By this point, it sort of surprises me that people don’t understand the way he speaks publicly is not always indicative of his policy prescriptions,” he adds.Want more from Rufo & Lomez?To enjoy more of the news through the anthropological lens of Christopher Rufo and Lomez, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Scientists Just Discovered A Previously-Unknown Indigenous Population That Lived In Isolation In Argentina For 8,500 Years

Paloma Laguens/IDACOR CONICET/Museo de Antropologías UNCThis 1,000-year-old statuette is just one of the many artifacts left behind by this previously-unknown population in present-day Argentina. A new analysis of prehistoric and ancient DNA has revealed a previously-unknown Indigenous group that lived in central Argentina for roughly 8,500 years. The early history of human settlement in the southern tip of South America had long remained mysterious. By the time humans first occupied the region about 12,000 years ago, it was one of the last locations on Earth to be populated. Now, the discovery of this new Indigenous lineage begins to fill in a gap in researchers’ understanding of who was living in present-day Argentina thousands of years ago. Uncovering A Previously-Unknown Population That Flourished In Prehistoric Argentina Stephanie Mitchell/Harvard Staff PhotographerHarvard University’s David Reich, one of the 68 co-authors of the new study. Previous studies had identified three separate Indigenous groups in the area throughout the prehistoric era: one in the central Andes, another in the tropical lowlands of Amazonia, and a third in Patagonia. Until now, it was unclear who, if anyone, was living in central Argentina. A new study published in Nature, put together by 68 co-authors across the world, used DNA analysis to identify a different Indigenous group that appeared in South America’s central Southern Cone about 8,500 years ago. Scientists analyzed the DNA, primarily bones and teeth, from 310 prehistoric and ancient people whose remains date as far back as 10,000 years. The genetic material gathered for this study has increased the amount of prehistoric and ancient DNA data from the region more than ten-fold. “This part of the world was almost a blank spot on the map,” David Reich, senior author of the study and professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, told the Harvard Gazette. “Like most of South America, there was very little data.” Wikimedia CommonsCueva de las Manos in Santa Cruz, Argentina, one of the few significant prehistoric archaeological sites in the region. Likewise, very few archaeological sites from the prehistoric era exist in this region. The Cueva de las Manos, or the Cave of the Hands, in central Argentina is one rare example of such a site. The cave’s prehistoric artwork was made between 13,000 and 9,500 years ago. It’s assumed that the people who made the cave paintings were ancestors to the hunter-gatherers that European colonizers came across thousands of years later — and they may be connected to the population uncovered by the new study. A Resilient Indigenous Population That Kept To Itself For Thousands Of Years Before the discovery of this new Indigenous lineage, scientists analyzing the DNA first expected to learn more about migration patterns in prehistoric South America. Instead, they found a group that persisted for thousands of years that did not migrate, and instead mostly kept to themselves, only barely mixing with other Indigenous groups at the edges of their homeland. Finally, the new study shows that the archaeogenetic trail of this lineage ended at around 1800 C.E., though the genetic line still exists in some forms in the DNA of modern Argentinians. It is likely the main Indigenous American lineage in Argentina today. Paloma Laguens/IDACOR CONICET/Museo de Antropologías UNCAnother artifact, also about 1,000 years old, made by a member of the newly-identified Indigenous group. There is still much that scientists have yet to discover about the newly-identified Indigenous lineage. For instance, it’s unclear why exactly the population primarily kept to themselves. There are no geographical features in the region that would’ve prevented groups from interacting. Meanwhile, the newly-found population was able to endure environmental challenges like droughts, technological advancements, and the introduction of new languages. This is unusual compared with similar findings in prehistoric Europe and Asia. In many of those populations, things like droughts or the introduction of a new language prompted migration and intermixing and thus led to some sort of change in the genetic lineage. “In this region you have a diversity of language and diversity of cultural changes, and you see interactions with other groups in the archaeological evidence,” co-author Rodrigo Nores told Science Magazine. “But the population is the same.” Researchers believe that future studies with more samples from underrepresented communities may help to shed light on the lack of migration and interaction with other groups. Scientists hope to fill in more gaps in the timeline of prehistoric South America, a timeline that had been almost completely shrouded in mystery until now. After reading about the discovery of this previously-unknown Indigenous group in Argentina, learn about the ancient Siberian population that scientists believe could be the ancestors of Native Americans. Then, read about the 20,000-year-old genetic link that scientists discovered between Indigenous Brazilians and Australians.

New Studies Reveal How Prehistoric Humans Traveled With And Bred Their Canine Companions

New Studies Reveal How Prehistoric Humans Traveled With And Bred Their Canine Companions

Einar Storsul/UnsplashA modern Siberian husky, which has ancestral connections to ancient dogs. Two new studies published in Science are revealing more information about the history of domestic dogs. One study analyzed dozens of ancient dog genomes and found that canines were migrating across Eurasia with early humans as far back as 10,000 years ago, showcasing how important the creatures were to our ancestors even during the Stone Age. The second study took a look at hundreds of dog and wolf skulls to determine when exactly the wide range of diversity seen in modern dogs emerged. This latest research is changing much of what we know about some of the earliest relationships between humans and their canine companions. A Variety Of Dog Skull Shapes Among Early Human Populations Allowen Evin, a bioarchaeologist at CNRS University of Montpellier in France, spoke with Nature about the results of the dog skull study. “We often assume that dog diversity emerged since the Victorian period over the last two centuries,” said Evin. “But no — what we found is that from the beginning, there is a huge diversity, much more than what we expected.” Evin’s research took a look at 3D scans of the skulls of 643 dogs and wolves that lived over the past 50,000 years. The team identified a distinctive dog skull shape — with a shorter snout and wider face than wolves — that first appeared in fossils from northwest Russia that date back nearly 11,000 years. Around that same time period, dogs associated with late hunter-gatherers and early farming populations showed an “explosion” in skull shapes and sizes, accounting for more than half of the diversity in today’s breeds. Carly Ameen/University of ExeterTwo of the dog skulls used in the analysis. “By about 10,000 years ago, half of the amount of diversity present in modern dogs is already present in the Neolithic,” Carly Ameen, a bioarchaeologist at the University of Exeter who co-authored the study, told NPR. “So very early on in our relationship with dogs, we not only change them from wolves, but they begin to change among themselves and generate a lot of diversity.” This early diversity likely reflects deliberate breeding efforts as humans adapted dogs for specific purposes, including hunting, protection, and companionship, the researchers said. This desire to breed certain traits into canines was evidenced in the second study, too — this time through DNA. Genome Study Reveals Regionally Distinct Dog Populations A companion study analyzed 73 ancient dog genomes from East Asia and Central Eurasia, including 17 that were newly sequenced. All of the canines studied lived within the last 10,000 years. This research revealed that early humans brought their dogs along with them as they migrated across Eurasia. The genome analysis found that different human ancestries tended to be associated with regionally distinct dog populations. For example, ancestry from ancient people in northeastern Siberia was linked to Arctic dogs, whose descendants include modern huskies and sled dogs. In some cases, however, disconnects between human and dog ancestries in certain populations suggest that canines were traded between civilizations, likely to bring out specific traits in working animals. Laurent Frantz, a population geneticist at Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich who co-led the genome study, noted that dogs with Arctic ancestry proved especially popular, appearing with hunter-gatherers on the Eurasian Steppe and later with Bronze Age populations in southern China. However, the researchers also noticed that even the earliest samples of known dogs from 11,000 years ago didn’t look much like wolves, which could only mean one thing: Humans already had dogs by that point. Canine domestication, then, had to have happened much earlier. Sumit Surai/Wikimedia CommonsDogs have been a key part of humans’ lives since ancient times, as evidenced by this mosaic found at Pompeii. “[B]y 11,000 years, you already had dogs all the way in Siberia and in Europe for thousands of years, probably… long enough for them to become different,” said Frantz. “So we’re looking at a time where everybody had dogs already.” Despite these new insights, major questions about modern dogs are still unanswered, including exactly when, where, and why wolves were first domesticated. Remaining Questions About Early Dog Domestication One major challenge in the research is identifying very early dog fossils, which likely closely resembled those of wolves. Genome studies suggest the main dog lineages began diverging around 20,000 years ago during the Pleistocene period, but confirmed dog fossils from that era remain elusive. None of the 17 Pleistocene skulls analyzed in the new research, for example, showed signs of domestication. Meanwhile, early dog trade might stretch even further back than the new studies indicate. To find remains from the first domestic dogs, researchers may need to look beyond skulls to other features like lower jaws or rely on DNA analysis of fragmentary remains, scientists said. “Very early dog has to look very similar to a wolf,” noted Evin. While answers to these questions may remain elusive for now, one thing is certainly clear: Domesticating wolves and other animals was vital to humanity’s success as a species. “Without them, we have no food,” Ameen said. “Without them, we have no plants to eat. We have no cereal… It’s possibly one of the most important things that humans have ever done. And the dog is the first species we make this relationship with.” After reading up on these new studies into domestic dogs’ origins, learn the heartwarming stories of these famous dogs throughout history. Then, check out 44 ancient artifacts that reveal how our ancestors truly lived.

How Jeremy Steinke Helped His 12-Year-Old Girlfriend, Jasmine Richardson, Murder Her Entire Family

How Jeremy Steinke Helped His 12-Year-Old Girlfriend, Jasmine Richardson, Murder Her Entire Family

Jeremy SteinkeJeremy Steinke was 23 years old when he helped his 12-year-old “girlfriend” kill her family. In April 2006, the community of Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada was horrified when Marc Richardson, Debra Richardson, and their eight-year-old son Tyler were found murdered in their home. Their 12-year-old daughter Jasmine was also missing. But as investigators soon shockingly discovered, Jasmine and her older “boyfriend” Jeremy Steinke were the killers behind the brutal triple homicide. Steinke, then 23 years old, had met Jasmine through a friend. He purportedly didn’t know her true age — though he knew she was very young — and the two fell in love. Then, when Jasmine’s parents forbid their relationship, Jasmine suggested killing them. And Jeremy Steinke helped her do it. But while Jasmine Richardson was tried as a minor and sentenced to 10 years for the gruesome crime, Steinke, of course, was tried as an adult. He was sentenced to life in prison. This is his story, from his childhood of abuse to his purported “remorse” over the Richardson family murders. Jeremy Steinke’s Abusive Childhood Jeremy Allan Steinke was born on January 15, 1983 in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. And as the jury heard at his murder trial, Steinke’s upbringing was anything but stable. He spent most of his childhood with his mother, Jacqueline Ann May, who struggled with alcoholism. They moved often, which made it hard for the young boy to make friends, and Steinke’s mother’s boyfriends and husbands were frequently abusive. According Runaway Devil by journalists Robert Remington and Sherri Zickefoose, Steinke endured terrible abuse as a child. At one point, one of Steinke’s stepfathers locked the boy in a deep freezer. At another, Steinke broke the arm of one of his mother’s ex-boyfriends while defending himself with a lead pipe. “Jeremy’s dad started using the belt on him around two,” Steinke’s mother testified, according to reporting by CBC in 2008. “He would sometimes pick Jeremy up by the ears and carry him to his room, or grab him by the ears and drag him to his room.” Medicine Hat High SchoolJeremy Steinke’s high school yearbook photo. Steinke’s life at school, where his classmates called him “Stinky” wasn’t much better. CBC reported in 2008 that Steinke was diagnosed with depression and hyperactivity at the age of 13, and soon began cutting. He even tried to hang himself. “He continuously would say to me that he wished that he wasn’t alive,” May, Steinke’s mother, testified. “He wished he was dead.” By the age of 14, Steinke had started drinking. He then began to consume other substances as well, including shrooms, ecstasy, acid, and marijuana. Then, in 10th grade, he dropped out of high school. Though Jeremy Steinke spent the next several years trying to find ways to continue his education or find a job, he eventually seemed to give up. Instead, Steinke became immersed in the goth subculture. According to reporting from the New Zealand Herald in 2016, he described himself as a “300-year-old werewolf” and began to wear a vial of blood around his neck. Then, through mutual friends, Jeremy Steinke crossed paths with a girl named Jasmine Richardson. Jeremy Steinke Meets Jasmine Richardson According to Runaway Devil, Jasmine Richardson — though just 12 — had embraced the violent fringes of the goth subculture as much as Steinke had. On social media, she posted a picture of herself holding a replica handgun, and claimed she was 16. Jasmine also listed her interests as “hatchets, serial killers, criminal psychology, blood, moonlight, human anatomy, and ‘kinky shit,'” and claimed to be a fan of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. It was during this time that Jeremy Steinke, 23, met Richardson through a mutual friend at the beginning of 2006. They soon began “dating.” But when Jasmine’s parents, Marc and Debra, heard about their daughter’s much-older boyfriend, they refused to allow the relationship to continue. Wikimedia CommonsJasmine Richardson was 12 years old when she started dating Jeremy Steinke. As a result, Jasmine Richardson reportedly began to plot their murder. According to the New Zealand Herald, she sent Steinke an online message which read: “I have this plan. It begins with me killing them and ends with me living with you.” Meanwhile, Steinke also began expressing his desire to hurt Jasmine’s parents online. “My girlfriends family are totally unfair,” he wrote. “…She is slowly going insane…Their throats I want to slit, they will regret the shit they have done… Their blood shall be payment!” And Jeremy Steinke and Jasmine Richardson soon put their plan into action. The Gruesome Richardson Family Murders On April 23, 2006, Jeremy Steinke arrived at the Richardson family home in Medicine Hat. He snuck into the family basement wearing a neoprene mask and carrying a knife, and when he encountered Debra Richardson, Steinke stabbed her to death — 12 times. Marc Richardson, hearing his wife in distress, came running. Google MapsThe Richardson family home. Though Marc tried to fight back with a screwdriver, Steinke stabbed him 24 times. And when Marc Richardson asked why he was doing it, Steinke replied: “It’s what your daughter wanted.” However, Steinke and Jasmine Richardson both told different stories about what happened next. According to Reuters in 2007, Jasmine claimed that Steinke ordered her to then murder her eight-year-old brother, Tyler, who was upstairs in his bedroom. Steinke, however, testified that he stood in the doorway and watched as Jasmine stabbed her brother and slashed his throat. She reportedly did not want to leave her brother “an orphan.” After the murders, Jeremy Steinke and Jasmine Richardson had sex, according to Reuters. They later went to a party where they were seen kissing so intently that they made some guests uncomfortable, and where partygoers also noticed that Steinke had a black eye. The two also reportedly bragged about the murder. Indeed, it didn’t take long for investigators to find them. The very next day, April 24, the two were arrested in Leader, Saskatchewan. There was little doubt about their guilt. Steinke had even bragged to an undercover police officer about the murder, stating that while it was Jasmine’s idea, he had also been inspired by the film Natural Born Killers. Jeremy Steinke Is Sentenced To Life In Prison After the Richardson family murders, both Jeremy Steinke and Jasmine Richardson were put on trial. Jasmine, tried as a minor, was found guilty and sentenced to a 10-year Intensive Rehabilitative Custody and Supervision (IRCS) sentence, which included four years in a psychiatric hospital. Steinke, who claimed at trial that there had been no murder plot and that he had been “surprised” by Debra Richardson, was also found guilty. He was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder, and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility for parole after 25 years behind bars. “He said he was extremely remorseful,” Steinke’s lawyer stated. “If he could take it back, he would, but he just couldn’t speak. He actually did say those things. I think it’s an apology. I definitely think that’s what it is.” Jeremy Steinke, who now goes by the name Jackson May, remains in prison to this day.
