A dietician who became the founder of the Remnant Fellowship Church in Brentwood died Saturday when the Cessna owned by her production company went down in Percy Priest Lake. Gwen Shamblin Lara, her husband, Joe, and five other church leaders are presumed dead. Investigators had changed from a rescue mission to a recovery mission Sunday morning. According to the Federal Aviation Administration website, no one on that flight was qualified to fly the plane. Joe Lara, 58, had a pilot's license but had not updated his medical certification since 2017. The medical certification is required every two years. Brandon Hannah, another church leader with a pilot license, was on the flight, but he didn't have a certification for the Cessna 500 series, according to the FAA database. The Laras took off Saturday morning from Smyrna and the plane went down moments later. A recording of the communication between the control tower and the pilot, captured on LiveATC.com, revealed an alarm going off in the cockpit of the plane seconds before it crashed, suggesting a mechanical failure in the aircraft, which was built in 1982. ... The Remnant Fellowship, founded in 1999, reportedly has more than 1,500 members in 150 congregations around the world. Gwen Lara had said being overweight was a sign of greed and gluttony. She said children were to obey parents, wives were to obey husbands and members were to obey church leaders.

Caitlyn Jenner’s role in the culture is not an especially demanding one, which generally seems like a good fit. For many years, she played a sort of goofy comic relief role on a cable reality show about rich Los Angeles people going on vacation and doing Facetime calls. Now, she is a sort of utility famous person, the type of celebrity who gets photographed on red carpets and at airports without ever really seeming to be urgently on the way to or from any particular thing. She went on The Masked Singer and covered a Kesha song, badly. As a life, it seems frictionless and airless and dull, an utterly glamorous and toweringly vacant inconsequentiality. But it is not without some hardship. Recently, for instance, while in her own airplane hangar, Jenner witnessed a person packing up his own hangar nearby. “And he says, ‘I’m moving to Sedona, Arizona,'” Jenner told Sean Hannity, in an interview filmed in Jenner’s hangar. “‘I can’t take it anymore. I can’t walk down the streets and see the homeless.'”

Last October, Jane was around four months pregnant when Brazoria County, Texas, jailers put her in solitary confinement, according to a letter she sent to her mother, which was viewed by The Appeal. Jailers had accused her of possessing controlled substances while in custody, her mother told The Appeal. She’d been in jail since August on a failure to appear charge, according to court records. In solitary, she was not allowed to make phone calls, buy food from the jail commissary, or even bring with her the food she had already purchased, Jane’s mother told The Appeal. “They took my food,” Jane wrote to her mother in a letter dated Oct. 12, 2020. “I’m going to starve. So is the baby.” Jailers permitted her to have extra cough drops, her mother, Hannah, told The Appeal. “She would order cough drops every day and suck on them in hopes of trying to numb her hunger,” said Hannah. Hannah requested that The Appeal use pseudonyms for herself and Jane, citing legal concerns. “Mom Please call them,” Jane pleaded in an Oct. 13 letter. “This is not enough food and I’m losing weight already.” In an Oct. 21 letter: “They are still starving me here… I had a bump, it has diminished to a completely flat stomach.” And the next day she wrote, “I haven’t felt the baby move or flutter at all today.” During Jane’s check-up in early November—while she was still in solitary confinement—the doctor could not find a heartbeat, according to Hannah. “That’s when they rushed her to the ER and it was too late,” said Hannah. “She had just lost the baby.”
