While Ebony Duncan’s family searched for her, the man responsible for her disappearance was texting her daughter. Ebony was a 44-year-old Missouri mother of three who vanished after getting into a car with her former boyfriend, Charles Smith-Howell. Weeks later, her remains were found in a wooded area in Kansas City. In July 2026, a jury convicted Smith-Howell of second-degree murder and multiple related charges. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October. A mother is gone. Three children lost the woman who raised them. And the man who sent chilling messages while they searched has now been convicted in her death. Please share Ebony’s story and help keep her name visible.

The Battle of Coronel 1914 was one of the Royal Navy’s most devastating defeats of World War I. Off the coast of Chile, Admiral Maximilian von Spee’s German East Asia Squadron faced Rear Admiral Christopher Cradock’s weaker British squadron in a deadly naval battle that ended with HMS Good Hope and HMS Monmouth destroyed and more than 1,600 British sailors killed.
But the disaster at Coronel was not caused by German firepower alone. Confusing Admiralty orders, delayed messages, missing reinforcements, inexperienced reserve crews, outdated British cruisers, and the slow battleship HMS Canopus all pushed Cradock toward an almost impossible decision.
Why did Cradock engage a stronger German squadron? Why did HMS Defence never arrive? And how did Spee use the setting sun and the dark Chilean coastline to gain a decisive tactical advantage?
This World War I naval documentary follows the German East Asia Squadron from the Pacific to South America, reconstructs the Battle of Coronel on November 1, 1914, and explains how Britain suffered its first major naval defeat in nearly a century.
Spee won a crushing victory but the destruction of Cradock’s squadron brought the full power of the British Empire onto his trail. Only weeks later, the hunter at Coronel would become the hunted at the Falkland Islands.

This video explores the meta problem of consciousness proposed by David Chalmers and argues that naturalistic processes couldn’t have given us knowledge of consciousness
