But first, we’ll cover a double-take headline from this week. Former First Lady Jill Biden’s first husband – William Stevenson – has been accused of killing his current wife.

After the flames are gone, a new crisis begins. This episode pulls back the curtain on the invisible aftermath of disaster; the paperwork, permits, insurance battles, and endless waiting that stall recovery. Through conversations with her brother, Nataly explores why rebuilding takes so long and how resilience is tested long after the headlines fade.

In this episode, Nataly confronts what happens when professional distance disappears and grief becomes public. As media attention intensifies, she reflects on the emotional toll of telling her story again and again, and how reporting became both a survival mechanism and a container for pain she didn’t yet know how to carry.

This episode will focus on several recent stories coming out our newsrooms from coast to coast. They include the arrest of a man accused of hoarding human remains in his home and in storage units, an octogenarian arrested for the alleged murder of his wife nearly 40 years ago, and an update on the legal saga stemming from the Uvalde Elementary school massacre, and murder investigations in Kansas and Ohio.

Episode two picks up in the quiet aftermath of the fire, when the adrenaline fades and reality sets in. Nataly Tavidian reflects on the moment she learned her family home was gone—a phone call from a close colleague/TV reporter who was reporting live from the property.

The episode centers on the shock of seeing what remains for the first time and the emotional weight of hearing devastating news from someone who knew the house, the family, and its history. Through archival audio and a year-later one-on-one conversation with her friend, the episode explores how grief shows up in unexpected ways, even for journalists trained to stay composed.

Episode 2 examines the human side of disaster reporting, the role of compassion in moments of loss, and the difficult transition from breaking news to personal reckoning.

In the first episode of Rising from the Ashes, KNX News reporter Nataly Tavidian recounts the day Southern California’s wildfires stopped being a story she was covering - and became the one she was living.

While reporting on the Palisades Fire, Nataly was sent to cover a new blaze threatening Pasadena and Altadena: the neighborhood where she grew up and the home her parents built after immigrating to the U.S. As evacuation orders spread, she rushed home while still on the air, trying to reach her family and rescue what mattered most.

The episode captures the collision between professional duty and personal loss, as Nataly and her brother returned to their property under extreme conditions, salvaging family photo albums and home videos while unsure if they would ever see the house again.

Episode 1 sets the foundation for the six-part series, exploring survival mode, adrenaline, and the moment a reporter becomes part of the disaster she is documenting - marking the beginning of a year-long journey through grief, recovery, and rebuilding.

This week, we’re covering several crimes reported over the holidays and diving into the Bondi Beach attack and a concerning rise in antisemitism. We'll also provide an update on the Brown University shooting.
