The actor Gene Hackman died of heart disease about a week after his wife, Betsy Arakawa, died from the effects of hantavirus, which causes a respiratory illness and is associated with rodent droppings, the authorities in New Mexico said.

The two were found dead at their home in Santa Fe, N.M., on Feb. 26.

Mr. Hackman’s body was found in a mud room, and Ms. Arakawa’s on the floor of a bathroom, according to a search warrant affidavit. A dead dog was discovered in a crate near Ms. Arakawa’s body.

Here’s what we know.

What happened?

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies were called to the home on Feb. 26 after a maintenance worker who had gone to the home to perform some work became concerned when no one answered the door.

Caroline Darian and her two brothers were frantically moving their mother out of the family house that had effectively become a crime scene when she was interrupted by a call from the police saying they had something to tell her in person. It could not wait.

She was already shattered by the news that the father she always believed was loving and supportive had been arrested on suspicion that he drugged and raped her mother, and that he allegedly brought other men to join him in violating her for almost 10 years.

What, she wondered that day in November 2020, could there be left to learn?

What came next was a new shock, Ms. Darian testified on Friday in her father’s trial. Besides the thousands of photos and videos the police said her father kept of her unconscious mother being abused, the officers had discovered two photos of another woman asleep in bed, with the covers off and the lights on. It took Ms. Darian, who goes by a pen name she created after the accusations, a while to register that the woman was her.

“I realized right away I was drugged in that photo,” Ms. Darian, 45, testified before the criminal court in Avignon, France.

Madeeha Bawar Ali sobbed quietly on the rooftop of her neighbor, as men gathered around looked out over the devastation brought by floods that their city in Pakistan had not seen in nearly 40 years.

“We built our house with our own hands, and now it’s gone,” said Ms. Ali, 25, as her husband and two boys, ages 2 and 6, ate a meager lunch of lentils in silence one morning last week. A fan, a television screen and a few other hastily gathered belongings sat nearby in metal boxes — a life’s worth of savings now cluttered on a roof battered by the heavy rains that triggered deadly flooding and submerged large parts of Punjab Province.

The Punjab floods are the latest in a string of extreme weather events this year that have wrought devastation across Pakistan, a country of 250 million people. Overflowing rivers turned villages into islands; urban flooding forced residents to trudge the streets of Karachi through waist-high water; and glacial outbursts swallowed entire communities in the country’s mountainous north.

About ‘Serial’ Season One:

A high-school senior named Hae Min Lee disappeared one day after school in 1999, in Baltimore County, Maryland. A month later, her body was found in a city park. She’d been strangled. Her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was charged with murder, and within a year, he was sentenced to life in prison. The case against him was largely based on the story of one witness, Adnan’s friend Jay, who testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae’s body. But Adnan has always maintained he had nothing to do with Hae’s death. Some people believe he’s telling the truth. Many others don’t.

Sarah Koenig sorted through thousands of documents, listened to trial testimony and police interrogations, and talked to everyone she could find who remembered what happened between Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee. She discovered that the trial covered up a far more complicated story than the jury — or the public — ever got to hear. The high-school scene, the shifting statements to the police, the prejudices, the sketchy alibis, the scant forensic evidence — all of it leads back to the most basic questions: How can you know a person’s character? How can you tell what they’re capable of? In Season One of “Serial,” she looks for answers.

When it launched in 2014, “Serial” became a global sensation that has been credited with launching the modern era of audio journalism. The New York Times Company acquired Serial Productions in 2020.

This episode of “Serial” was produced by Sarah Koenig, Julie Snyder and Dana Chivvis, with editorial advisory by Ira Glass and editing help from Chana Joffe-Walt and Joel Lovell. Production and operations managed by Emily Condon. Fact-checking by Karen Fragala Smith. Original scoring by Nick Thorburn, who wrote the theme song, and Mark Henry Phillips, who mixed the show.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the man at the center of a political and legal maelstrom, was detained on Monday after arriving at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Baltimore.

The move came only three days after he was released from federal custody in Tennessee, where he faced criminal charges of human smuggling.

Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, posted on social media that law enforcement officers were “processing” Mr. Abrego Garcia for deportation. She did not indicate where he would be sent, but Mr. Abrego Garcia’s lawyer said that the administration had signaled that it would deport him to Uganda.

Mr. Abrego Garcia, a metal worker who had brushes with the law but no criminal record while living illegally in the United States, was first deported to El Salvador in March, where he was held in a notorious prison complex. Though the Trump administration initially admitted in court filings that his deportation occurred because of an “administrative error,” it swiftly shifted course, insisting that Mr. Abrego Garcia was a dangerous criminal and accusing him of being a member of the violent street gang MS-13.
