3-Year-Old Girl Found Dead on Beach, Coast Guard Asks for Help Identifying Body
The identity of the girl — found dead at Edem Beach near Athens, Greece, on July 27 — is not yet known, nor is her cause of death A girl believed to be 3 years old was found dead on a beach in Greece, and authorities have yet to identify her. The girl was found at Edem Beach, located in the seafront neighborhood of Palaio Faliro outside of Athens. The Hellenic Coast Guard shared in an "urgent announcement" on Sunday, July 27, that the girl had been discovered in the early morning hours that same day. The coast guard said that 'the body of a minor girl, approximately 3 to 3.5 years old,' was found in 'the sea area' of the beach, which is located just a few miles from the capital city of Athens. A man discovered the girl and immediately called emergency services, according to Greek newspaper Proto Thema. An ambulance transported her to a children's hospital, but she was pronounced dead. One eyewitness, who said they came to the beach around 3 a.m. local time for a night swim, said they noticed a police and first responder presence around about half an hour later, Proto Thema reported. "I was about 100 meters away when they shone their lights on the sand — there was a small girl, wearing a one-piece swimsuit. An ambulance came, they covered her with a blanket, and took her away,' the witness, identified as Mr. Marios, told Greek outlet SKAI, according to Proto Thema. 'The child's death appeared fairly recent,' said Marios. He also said that 'based on her features, I don't think the child was Greek.' The girl showed no visible signs of abuse, and how she ended up alone remains alone, according to Proto Thema. Her cause of death is also unknown, pending a forensic examination and autopsy, the newspaper reported. In their 'urgent announcement,' posted in both Greek and English on July 27, the Hellenic Coast Guard declared that it 'is issuing an urgent appeal to the public for information regarding the discovery of a deceased minor girl.' The girl 'had short brown hair, a slender build, and tanned skin,' and was wearing a 'long-sleeved turquoise and fuchsia one-piece swimsuit,' the coast guard said.

'Every piece of information, no matter how small it may seem, could prove crucial,' the announcement concluded. 'Complete confidentiality is guaranteed." Read the original article on People

Speaker Mike Johnson Slams Ghislaine Maxwell's 20-Year Sentence: ‘A Pittance'
"I think she should have a life sentence at least," he tells NBC's "Meet the Press with Kristen Welker" Ghislaine Maxwell's 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking is 'a pittance,' Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told NBC's 'Meet the Press with Kristen Welker' Sunday. 'I think she should have a life sentence at least.' The Trump administration's Justice Department recently granted Maxwell limited immunity during a series of recent interviews, allowing her to answer questions without her responses being held against her. Maxwell has made clear she wants her sentence thrown out or reduced; President Trump wished her 'well' in an interview and said a pardon is something he's 'allowed to do.' More from TheWrap Speaker Mike Johnson Slams Ghislaine Maxwell's 20-Year Sentence: 'A Pittance' | Video The Best New Shows on Netflix in July 2025 Connie Chung Says 'Shame On' Shari Redstone and the Ellisons: 'I Fear the End of CBS as I Knew It' | Video 'Anne Rice's Talamasca' Spinoff Taps 'Interview With the Vampire' Star Eric Bogosian as Guest Star In a firestorm of controversy over the administration's whipsaws around the Jeffrey Epstein matter, the Republican speaker has stood firm. 'I mean, think of all these unspeakable crimes, and as you noted earlier, probably 1,000 victims,' Johnson continued. 'I mean, you know, this, this is, it's, it's hard to put into words how evil this was, and that she orchestrated it and was a big part of it, at least under the criminal sanction, I think is an unforgivable thing. So again, not my decision, but I have great pause about that, as any reasonable person would.' In 2021 Maxwell was convicted on five of six charges stemming from her years working with Epstein. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022. Welker also asked Johnson if Maxwell 'can be trusted' following two days of interviews with Deputy Attorney General Tom Blanche. 'I hope so. I hope that she would want to come clean. We certainly are interested in knowing everything that she knows,' he answered. 'And as you'll note, in our House Republican majority, we're working towards that. Chairman Comer and our oversight committee has already issued their own subpoena. They, they want to bring in Ghislaine Maxwell as well. I hope she's telling the truth. She is convicted. She is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking, and so her character is in some question. But if she wants to come clean now, that would be a great service to the country, and we'd like to know every single bit of information that she has. I certainly hope she's telling the truth.' Blanche has yet to make a public statement about his conversations with Maxwell. That the department's second in command is interviewing a witness personally is 'highly unusual,' former prosecutors told NBC News. Attorney Jack Scarola, who represented approximately 20 of Epstein's victims, was denied a request to attend Maxwell's interview. Catherine Christian, a former Manhattan assistant district attorney and an NBC News legal analyst, also told the news outlet the interviews could be part of a larger plan to distract from Donald Trump's ties to Maxwell and Epstein. The president is fending off rising inquiries into the exact nature of those relationships, including calls for clarification from within his MAGA base.
