4 U.S. citizens were kidnapped at gunpoint in Mexico in a case of mistaken identity, official says.
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for the return of four Americans thought to have been kidnapped at gunpoint on March 3 in Matamoros, Mexico, just south of Brownsville, Texas, authorities said. A woman in the group had been seeking a cosmetic medical procedure, and cartel gunmen targeted the group in a case of mistaken identity, a law enforcement official with knowledge of the matter told NBC News. Part of the kidnapping was captured on a video that showed a gunman dragging people from a white minivan (above) into a white pickup and fleeing the scene.

A plastic surgeon at Rutgers Medical School tells us there’s no clinical evidence proving the notion that running ages the skin by stretching it. Here's what to know.

People are selling boxes of the new, limited Girl Scout cookie flavor on eBay for huge markups.
In a continued sign of the pending apocalypse, there's now a black market for Girl Scout cookies. Boxes of Raspberry Rally cookies, which came out in August and are sold exclusively online, are selling on eBay from $15 a box to $180 for 10, compared to the Girl Scouts' price of five or six bucks. "We’re saddened that the platforms and the sellers are disregarding the core mission of the cookie program and are looking to make a profit off of the name without supporting our mission," the Girl Scouts said in a statement. EBay told Today.com that the sale of the Raspberry Rally cookies does not violate its policies. Read the full story here.
