On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: Police are asking for the public’s help in locating missing 33-year-old Anna Belle Bettger, who was last seen in the Richmond area of Christiansted. The territory recorded yet another homicide after a man was fatally shot overnight near Haabets Gade and Simmonds Alley on St. Thomas, bringing the territory’s homicide count to 11 so far this year. We speak with Senator Marvin Blyden who defends his call for an emergency economic hearing amid rising fuel costs and ongoing conflict in the Middle East, following a statement by Senate President Milton Potter who said many of those concerns have been addressed by the Legislature in a March 2025 Committee of the Whole hearing.
