The growth and developments in science and technology never cease to amaze. Nearly 25 years after the terror attacks on September 11th -- just a few weeks removed -- investigators have identified another person killed that awful day. How did it happen? DNA testing and family tree research -- together known as genetic genealogy.

A family in Colorado is facing $300,000 in medical debt, more than two years after a K-9 officer living next door climbed the fence and attacked a two-year-old girl and her father. Recently, the K-9 handler was found 'not guilty' in the incident because he has immunity as a member of law enforcement doing his official duties -- in this case, he was cleaning the K-9 officer's cage. In this edition of "Ask the Attorney," Holly consults KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas on this immunity claim and why the family is having such a hard time finding a lawyer to take their case.

The Trump Administration dubbed today "economic D-Day" for Iran. The plan calls for a severe intensification of sanctions on the country, pressuring America's allies to also cut any economic ties with Iran. We hear live from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who explains the administration's plans. At the same time, the trade war with Canada ramps up -- each side now planning a 50% tariff on incoming goods. Greg and Holly give their takes on both economic developments.

It's being called the Integrated Warfighter Ecosystem -- a coalition made up of small and midsize businesses from around the country, all of which have something to offer to the Department of Defense. Defense companies descended on Payson on Friday to celebrate the launch of this new coalition. But what's its purpose, what does it hope to do, and why Utah? KSL NewsRadio's Heather Peterson gives Greg and Holly some insights into the new group.

The Flock cameras are multiplying. Sometimes, they're growing without permission. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that an unauthorized camera recently appeared on city property in Millcreek… right by city hall. The problem is that no one knows where it came from or who installed it. The camera's since been cut down, but it once again brings up questions of security and privacy when it comes to these kinds of surveillance cameras.

A majority of Americans consistently rank Congress as having low or very low ethics. A Gallup poll from earlier this year said 71% of Americans didn't rank Congress as having high ethical standards. Here's the dumb question: is anyone actually surprised? Reporting from Cami Mondeaux, Deseret News congressional correspondent, explains that Congress may be in for an ethics reckoning. She joins Inside Sources to explain.

This could be yet another example of social media freaking out without having all the facts. Plans have now been released for a memorial event at Utah Valley University on the first anniversary of the murder of political influencer Charlie Kirk. But you may remember a few weeks ago -- when the university announced they'd close campus on that day -- social media freaked out because a memorial had not been announced. Claims that UVU was ignoring the tragic events from a year ago spread like wildfire. But now, it looks like those claims were wrong.

Pumpkin spice season is just about here -- Starbucks kicks it off tomorrow! At the same time, more and more Americans are buying their fall and Halloween decorations early; in fact, most are buying them before September. It's still above 90 degrees, and we're already talking about fall! What is it about the fall season that just has so many people excited? Greg and Holly have a lively chat about the impending fall season.

Despite some real challenges for Utah's tourism economy, visitor spending was up in 2025 -- just over half a percent. And with that increase, the state's economy saw $13.7 billion from tourism. That comes even with big drops in visits from China and Canada, fewer visits to state and national parks, and a slight decrease in passengers flying through Salt Lake City International Airport. So what's driving up the total spending in our state? And what kind of effect does that have on the overall economy -- how does it help those of us who live here? Communications Director at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute Nick Thiriot joins the conversation.

Displaced residents of the North Union Apartments in Midvale continue to search for answers and direction nearly one month since a massive fire all-but-destroyed the complex. The big question still remaining today: whether insurance will cover their lost items. Unfortunately, we're no longer just talking about fire damage, but theft as well. Throughout it all, multiple residents who spoke with KSL say they're still being left in the dark on what's happening.

Dozens of new fires across the state over the weekend, closing canyons and highways, and resulting in several evacuations. Since Friday morning, 55 new fires have popped up. That brings our total fires for the year -- thus far -- to 948. Roughly half of those have been caused by people. In nearby Reno, Nevada, the Hawk Fire sparked over the weekend. Officials believe the fire was deliberately set, and it's resulted in the evacuation of close to 100,000 people. Utah Firewatch -- Greg and Holly get listeners caught up on the latest blazes.

With summer vacations wrapping up, it's the perfect time to chat about vacation movies! KSL Movie Show hosts Val Cameron and Andy Farnsworth join Greg and Holly to discuss the big movie of the week: Spa Weekend.

It's a question that's probably been asked in some form for thousands of years: what defines cheating in a romantic relationship? A new survey finds that 1 in 7 partnered Americans have romantic feelings for someone else. But with definitions around infidelity being so unclear, many might not consider their feelings to be true cheating. Deseret News family reporter Lois Collins chimes in with more on the research.

Would you shame your neighbors for using too much water in the ongoing drought? The city of Denver has been pushing folks to complain about their neighbors, but the campaign hasn't resulted in significant water reductions. If shaming doesn't work, what's the best way to get people to conserve water? At the same time, everyone's talking about this impending super El Niño and what it could mean for Utah this winter. But with so many months to go until winter, could the fall see any action? KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson joins Greg and Holly with his own little crystal ball.

There's a lot of excitement for the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA VI). It comes out in November, and some U.S. Army soldiers can get four extra days off to play the game when it comes out. It's thanks to a reenlistment tactic from an Army unit at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Is this a good way Is this a good way to get younger military service members energized and excited to continue their service? KSL NewsRadio's Cam Elliott plays a lot of GTA and joins the conversation.

As artificial intelligence grows and expands, the threat it poses to our elections grows with it. Whether it's fake advertising, misleading information, or downright lies, AI could have a profound effect on upcoming elections. State leaders took action in 2024, requiring things like disclosures on political ads using AI. But did that go far enough? We've seen issues in other states in this very midterm election cycle, so does the state need to do more? State Senator Heidi Balderree joins Inside Sources to explain her proposal that would take things a step further than in the past.

More than $1 million -- that's how much money Utah kids lost last year to online scams. The data comes from a new FBI report just released. Utah ranks only 23rd for the number of complaints from victims 17 and younger. But the state ranks 3rd in the country for money lost. Nationwide, victims 17 and younger reported nearly $13 million in losses. Ouch. Greg and Holly discuss ways parents can better help their kids avoid these costly mistakes.

Worries over privacy and security with the ever-growing Flock cameras have made it to Utah's Capitol Hill. Governor Spencer Cox has ordered a full privacy review amidst concerns and allegations that the data on those cameras is being misused. The comments from the Governor came during his August news conference and came following a report from the Utah Civic Compact about cameras in Weber County being accessed millions of times by out-of-state agencies. During his monthly news conference, the governor also spoke about the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) and the need for more reform for this agency. Greg and Holly kick off the show discussing both of those topics.

Several ski resorts across Utah and the western U.S. are placing their bets on lots of snow this year. Many have already announced their first days of the upcoming season… and it's early. Greg has many years of experience as a member of a ski patrol and outlines what will happen to all those people who make early reservations… should the snow not fall.

If you look at recent pictures of the White House, do you even recognize it anymore? Constant construction has the building looking trashy -- not something you'd generally associate with the leader of the free world. President Trump recently took journalists on a tour of the sites, including his new ballroom -- which has been paused by the courts -- and a new massive helipad. Greg and Holly have strong opinions about what the President is doing to the "people's house."

More and more people have developed a distrust of election polling over the last few decades, and fake polling certainly isn't helping. In fact, fake polling may be doing even more harm thanks to artificial intelligence. Greg and Holly discuss fake polling out of California and the dangers that could come to our electoral process should this deception continue unchecked.
