I like things MyWay, my coffee, my schedule, and my treatment. So I talked to my doctor about self-injecting with the Vivgard Hytrulo Pre-Filled Syringe, which contains F. Gartegamid Alpha and Hyaluronidase QVFC.
It's injected under your skin, subcutaneously. It means I can inject in my space, on my time. It's my treatment, MyWay. Visit vivgardmyway.com, that's V-Y-V-G-A-R-T myway.com, and talk to your doctor about Vivgard Hytrulo, brought to you by Argenics.

At 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve 2002, four Modesto police officers pull up outside a single-story ranch house at 523 Covina Avenue. The front windows face the street, but heavy drapes cover them, blocking the view in or out. A 27-year-old woman has been missing from this house since that morning. She is eight months pregnant. Her husband says he went fishing 90 miles away and that he came home in the afternoon to find her gone. Officer Matt Spurlock leads the way up the brick walkway. Behind him, Sergeant Byron Dürrfeldt is on the phone to the supervisor, who runs a detective unit called Crimes Against Persons. I'm requesting the assistance of a cap detective, sir, Dürrfeldt says. Spurlock tries the front door. It opens. Most of the lights inside are on. There's a Christmas tree in the corner of the dining area. The officers inventory the presents underneath it.
In the nursery, new baby clothes are stacked in a white crib. Miniature sailboats hang from the ceiling. One of the officers stops in front of a life preserver on the wall. It reads, welcome aboard.
In the living room, a tan and white throw rug is bunched up on the floor against the patio door. Officer John Evers steps around it and leaves it where it lies.
They work through the rest of the house room by room. Closet doors open. A shower curtain slides back.
On the kitchen wall, there's a chalkboard where Laci has written, Merry Christmas in a youthful script. On the counter, leftover pizza sits in an open box with a container of ranch dressing next to it. And beside that, a telephone book, open.
The police see a full-page ad with a photograph of a young man being handcuffed by a uniformed officer and underneath it the words criminal defense, former deputy district attorney. The lawyer lists his specialties. One of them is murder. Scott Peterson will later give an explanation for that. Sitting in an interview room at the Modesto Police Department, he says he had the phone book out to call hospitals. There are two accounts of that day, the day Laci Peterson disappeared. First, the way Scott Peterson tells it that night to a detective with a notebook. Then the same day again, the way investigators will say it really happened. I'm Megyn Kelly, and this is MK Confidential.
AI can clone your voice, forge your signature, even create fake documents that fool experts. And criminals are using these tools right now to potentially steal from you. How? It's called title fraud. Your property records are public by law. Your name, your address, even your signature. It's all sitting in a database that anyone can access. A cyber scammer can pull your records, use AI to forge a transfer document, file it with your county, and on paper, they're the new legal owner of your property. Then they can borrow against your equity or even sell your property long before you realize anything is wrong. But let me tell you about Home Title Lock. They monitor your property's title 24-7, alert you of any changes, and if you are a victim, their team of restoration experts will spend up to $1 million restoring your title. So when's the last time you checked your title records? You can do it today. Use our promo code MEGHAN at hometitlelock.com to get a free title history report, plus a free trial of million-dollar triple lock protection, so you can make sure you're not already a victim.

Laci Peterson has been missing for a few hours. There is no body, nor even, police must consider, necessarily, any crime. Still, the officers don't leave that house before securing it. And out at the curb, Sergeant Duerfeld calls his supervisor back with a list of six things that do not sit right.
