27-year-old Isaiah Thomas has made it to California after walking 3,000 miles from Philadelphia. Thomas, who is now being called the "Black Forrest Gump," said he's hoping to make a difference in his community with his "faith walk" by using donations to build a trade school in Philadelphia. CBS News' @Jerickaduncan spoke to Thomas, also known as Hmblzayy, about his experience crossing America by foot and live streaming it for viewers around the world. "The things I really wanted to accomplish during this journey — bringing people together, being able to just allow God to use me to help these connections happen," he said.

In their first interview with a national outlet, the parents of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old American influencer who died under unclear circumstances while on vacation with her fiancé in Zanzibar, are trying to figure out what happened to their daughter, who was celebrating her birthday and engagement. "She was supposed to be happy," her mother, Yolanda Endres told CBS News' @Jerickaduncan. "And then she's just gone." Endres and Robinson's father, Harry Robinson, said they heard once from their daughter's fiancé, Joe McCann, 11 hours after an incident that supposedly led to her death. They were later informed by the hotel that Ashly had died. CBS News has reached out to McCann's company, Asymmetric, for comment, but did not hear back. The State Department confirmed to CBS News that an American citizen had died in Zanzibar, but did not provide further details for reasons of privacy.

What would you do if you were offered to sell your property to an unnamed company offering $26 million? A family in Kentucky turned the offer down. We went to Mason County, Kentucky to ask Delsia Bare and her mother Ida Huddleston why they chose not to sell their farm to a company hoping to use the land for an AI data center. Here’s what they said.
