Alex Venegas, better known as Flyysoulja, packed up and left the house he shared with his twin brother Franky months back. The split came after nonstop arguments that wore them down, with Flyy pulling away from what he calls Franky’s wild ways.
He recently proposed to his partner on Valentine’s Day, sharing a toddler son and a four-year-old daughter from before, embracing a dad role that keeps him grounded.
Flyy insists blood ties run deep, noting past help with Franky’s legal bills, even if it went unappreciated. Right now, though, calls go unanswered, like those from jail after Franky’s latest bust in Naples, Florida.
Their once-tight bond, famous from lip-kissing clips that riled the internet back in the day, feels like ancient history amid this rift.
Observers point to clashing paths as the core issue. Flyy chases family stability, while Franky sticks to a street-edged life that keeps landing him in trouble. This breakup mirrors earlier public spats where they accused each other online, hinting at deeper family strains bubbling under the surface.
Franky’s Legal Nightmares Pile Up Fast

His rap sheet stretches back years, packed with domestic battery claims, like allegedly shoving a girlfriend into a pool and reckless driving busts. These incidents stack up against their 2021 breakout via the “I’m an Island Boy” freestyle that exploded on TikTok, turning juvenile detention grads into overnight sensations.
No signs point to slowing down. Each arrest draws eyes back to the duo’s faded glory, with Franky often at the center while Flyy dodges similar heat. Fans and outlets track these run-ins closely, questioning if jail time will force change or just fuel more tabloid fodder.
Flyy’s Fresh Start, Shared Money Woes
Flyysoulja shifts focus to fatherhood and solo hustles, landing a mental health hold in late 2025 that his brother downplayed publicly. He avoids Franky’s spotlight, prioritizing kids and a ring on his fiancée’s finger over joint projects. Their act fizzled long ago, with sporadic reunions failing to stick amid bad blood.
Combined, the brothers sit on a $3-4 million net worth as of early 2026, fueled by OnlyFans runs, Cameo clips, merch drops, and club gigs despite platform bans and backlash. Viral cash flowed quickly post-2021, but ego clashes and spending sprees burned bridges and bucks alike.
Word spreads of dried-up TikTok revenue and failed ventures like podcasts, leaving them scraping by on scraps. Flyy eyes reconciliation down the line, admitting both need maturity, yet daily life stays separate. Fans wonder if solo paths lead to real wins or just echo their meme-status fadeout.
Their saga grips because it captures internet fame’s raw truth: quick highs crash hard without a plan. Franky’s cells and Flyy’s crib paint two roads from the same start, both chasing peace in a post-viral haze.
Nancy Guthrie , 84, got dropped off at her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson around 9:50 p.m. on January 31, 2026, by her son-in-law after a family dinner.
The garage door shut two minutes later, but by morning church, she missed service, leading relatives to rush over by 11 a.m. They found her gone, phone, wallet, car, and meds all left behind despite her limited mobility from chronic pain.
Blood trailed near the front door, DNA-matched to her, with the doorbell cam ripped away. Pima County deputies called it foul play fast, shifting from search to crime scene with homicide pros on site. Sheriff Chris Nanos stressed she couldn’t wander off alone, calling her vulnerable but sharp-minded.
The FBI jumped in alongside local teams, drones, K9s, and border patrol, combing the hills, but there was no trace five days later. Personal items scattered signaled a forced grab, turning a quiet retirement spot into a taped-off nightmare.
Ransom Notes and Family Heartbreak Explode
Media tips poured in with ransom demands for crypto millions, one hitting TMZ with a Bitcoin address and deadline, another at local CBS with home details cops took seriously. A California guy faced charges for a fake one, but real ones linger under FBI scrutiny; no confirmed sender yet.

Savannah Guthrie, her NBC Today co-host, and her siblings, Annie and Camron, dropped a raw video plea on February 4, straight to whoever holds her: “Confirm she’s alive. We’re ready to talk. No tricks.” They highlighted her frailty, constant pain, and medication needs that could kill without doses.
Savannah bailed on the 2026 Winter Olympics opening in Milan, and Craig Melvin too, staying stateside for the fight. President Trump rang her up post-interview, pledging extra feds, and the White House blasted tip calls nationwide.
Leads Thin as Desperate Clock Ticks
Pacemaker data cut at 2 a.m., hinting at an early snatch, maybe while asleep, per the sheriff. No suspects named, no public threat alert, but tips flood in from canvases and cams. The homicide angle looms with blood volume unclear, and officials are mum on the injury scope.
A Tucson resident for over 50 years, with Kentucky roots, widowed since 1988, a church regular, and now a national fixation. Family clings to hope she’s out there, urging whispers to 911, as forensics grind on.
This grabs hearts because a frail grandma brutally targeted spotlights random evil. Savannah’s poise amid grief rallies support, but silence from shadows tests limits. Every hour without meds amps dread; the public’s eyes stay glued, praying the quiet widow beats the odds for reunion.
