Missing Chantrel Donegan found safe
UPDATE: Chantrel Donegan is found safe.
A search is underway for Chantrel Donegan, a beloved member of the Huntsville, Alabama community, who has been reported missing.
Her brother, Byron A. Donegan, took to social media, posting an emotional plea for help: “Alright y’all, I never thought I would have to do this, but if anyone has seen or heard from my sister, Chantrél Donegan, please reach out and let me know. My mom said they haven’t seen or heard from her since Sunday at church. I just want to make sure she’s alright.”
Chantrel was last seen attending services at Saint Bartley Primitive Baptist Church, and since then, her family and friends have been unable to contact her.
The church, deeply concerned for Chantrel’s safety, issued a public message to the community:
“Hello Huntsville, AL, and surrounding areas! One of our own members, whom we love dearly, is missing—Ms. Chantrél Donegan. We ask for your prayers for her safe return! If you have any information regarding her whereabouts, please contact the Huntsville Police Department or reach out to her brother, Byron A. Donegan.”
The family, church community, and Huntsville Police Department are all actively seeking any leads or information that may help locate Chantrel.
Anyone who may have seen or heard from her is urged to come forward and help bring her home safely.
In a surprising turn of events, the FBI seized the phone and electronic devices of Shayne Coplan, the 26-year-old CEO of Polymarket, a prediction market platform.
The action was taken early Wednesday morning, just a week after the platform accurately predicted a significant political event.
The reasons for the seizure remain unclear.
However, some speculate that the move might be politically motivated, as Polymarket’s predictions diverged from traditional polling methods.
It’s possible that the government is investigating potential market manipulation or accusations of rigging the platform to favor a particular outcome.
Coplan was not arrested during the seizure, and the FBI has yet to provide an official statement.
Polymarket is a platform that enables users to make predictions on a variety of real-world events. It uses a decentralized model to ensure transparency and fairness.
