Boebert Expects Recount, JonBenét DNA Testing, and Weiser Makes Hires

Sunday, November 8, 2026

Good Morning! On this day in 1904, Democrat Alva Adams unseated Republican Gov. James Peabody in a fraud-marred election. The following March, Colorado had three governors in 24 hours.

In case you missed it on The Flyover Podcast, Ayla took on the warning spreading all over social media that coffee on an empty stomach is doing damage you can’t feel. Gastroenterologists weighed in, backed by endoscopies on more than 8,000 people, and their answer isn’t what the internet says. Plus, a common morning combo can backfire, sending blood sugar levels climbing when you’d least want them to. So is your pre-breakfast cup safe or not? Tune in here!

Today’s sponsor, Dr. Steven Gundry MD, shares why he believes an overlooked everyday item may affect weight and energy, along with a DIY approach to explore at home.

Boebert Campaign Expects CD4 Recount

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert's campaign expects a recount in the 4th Congressional District, where Democrat Eileen Laubacher still holds a narrow lead.

Laubacher, a retired Navy rear admiral, led by about 3,000 votes Friday, and the race remains uncalled. She leads in Arapahoe, Douglas, and Larimer counties, while Boebert leads on the Eastern Plains.

"We are investigating some very unusual voting patterns and expect this election to head to a recount, one way or another," campaign attorney Scott Gessler said. He didn't specify the patterns.

Laubacher's lead is well above Colorado's automatic recount threshold of 0.5%, though a candidate can pay for one.

Counties must finish counting by Nov. 13, and Nov. 25 is the deadline to request a self-funded recount.

Lakewood Mourns Fallen Agent Nick Graham

Hundreds of people gathered Friday outside Lakewood police headquarters, leaving flowers, cards, and candles around the patrol SUV of fallen Agent Nick Graham.

A second memorial is growing at the RTD bus stop near West Colfax Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard, where Graham, 33, was killed Thursday. Law enforcement agencies across Colorado have posted condolences.

Graham joined the department in 2019 and handled 322 cases, the biggest caseload on its major crimes team. His father recently retired from police work, and his mother worked in a crime lab.

"His accomplishments tell us what he did. The gratitude of those he helped tells us how much his service mattered," Chief Philip Smith said.

The department is directing donations for Graham's family and the three wounded agents to the Lakewood Police Employee Assistance Foundation. Funeral details are expected in the coming days.

Boulder Police Weigh JonBenét DNA Testing

Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn says his department is in talks with labs that could run forensic genetic genealogy on DNA from the JonBenét Ramsey case.

Redfearn, in his first interview about the case, spoke for an ABC News 20/20 special that aired Friday. He said police are re-interviewing suspects and testing new evidence.

Some samples are so small that one test could use them up, leaving nothing for better methods later. So police are holding off until they're confident the technology will work, since they may have only "one shot at getting it tested," Redfearn said.

The 6-year-old was found dead in her family's Boulder home on Dec. 26, 1996. In 2008, touch DNA pointed to an unknown male, and prosecutors cleared the family.

Her half-brother, John Andrew Ramsey, is confident the killer will be identified. "It's not a question of if, but when," he told ABC.

McKinney National Readies First Flights

McKinney National Airport’s first commercial flight departs on Wednesday for Fort Myers, Florida, one of 11 destinations served by Avelo Airlines, the airport’s only carrier for now.

The airline unveiled five routes in June, all to Las Vegas and Florida, then added four more, including New Orleans and Nashville, with service starting in December.

For Collin County travelers, the airport offers a closer option than DFW Airport or Love Field. The terminal opens with four gates but is built for six, and Airport Director Ken Carley said leaders will gauge demand and work with Avelo to add routes.

South Texas Braces for Flash Flooding

Gov. Greg Abbott mobilized state rescue teams as rounds of storms threaten flash flooding across South and West Texas through early this week.

Available crews include Texas A&M swiftwater boat squads, game wardens with hoist-equipped helicopters, state troopers, and medical teams with ambulances.

Parts of deep South Texas could see 4 to 6 inches of rain through Monday, with the Rio Grande Valley facing the greatest flash flood risk, according to the National Weather Service.

Coastal Bend neighborhoods could pick up 2 to 3 inches of rain by today, with minor coastal flooding possible at high tide.

Abbott urged Texans to watch local forecasts and stay off flooded roads.

Kilgore Giveaway Triples Its Ham Supply

Credit Union of Texas handed out 300 turkeys and 300 hams in Kilgore on Saturday, tripling the ham supply from its first giveaway.

The giveaway debuted at the branch’s opening last year, when the credit union passed out 300 turkeys and 100 hams. This year, it added 200 hams to help meet local needs.

Local food shelters and nonprofits helped run the drive-through event, and people waiting in line said it took some pressure off rising costs. The credit union hopes to keep the giveaway going each year and stock more next time.
