Details to be revealed: Authorities on the north shore are expected to provide details this afternoon in the slayings of two people whose bodies were found burned beyond recognition earlier this week. Until now, much mystery has surrounded the deaths. Please check back with NOLA.com for coverage of the press conference, which begins at 1 p.m.
Bounce: Here's a problem most of us will never confront — receiving a $1 million check only to have it bounce. But it happened recently to New Orleans boxer Regis Prograis, Ted Lewis reports.
Coming home, finally: It took decades for the Department of Defense to identify the remains of Houston Temples. Now, finally, a Navy sailor who was killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor nearly 81 years ago is coming home to rural Washington Parish.
Zion 101: Did you happen to catch the Pelicans’ game last night? Everyone’s favorite NBA team won a tough game against Toronto, but the real show came from Zion Williamson, columnist Rod Walker says.
Personalities: Former Saint Scott Fujita retired from football, but not for a life of fishing and golf. Jeff Duncan caught up with Fujita in California, where he has a busy job that might surprise some people. (Spoiler alert: He’s still a Saint.) And you probably know by now that French President Emmanuel Macron is in the U.S. this week, with a stop Friday in New Orleans. But maybe you didn’t know Grammy winner (and Kenner native) Jon Batiste’s role in the choreography of this diplomatic event. Congressman Troy Carter has a lofty new title to add to his political resume. Congrats. And Ian McNulty has details about the long-awaited return of Miss Shirley.
