A 39-year-old Charlotte woman last seen driving from a home on July 16 has been reported missing, police said today.

Joe Marusak continues to update this story.
2. For Panthers rookie QB Bryce Young, ‘lofty expectations’ and a birthday as camp begins
Carolina Panthers training camp is upon us.
This year, there’s a lot of new faces around camp and none more important than quarterback Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Scott Fowler writes Young arrives to camp with nothing less than the weight of the franchise on his shoulders.
3. Opinion: Ignore the pearl-clutching conservatives. ‘Barbie’ is not anti-men
America’s got Barbie fever, folks. Well, at least some do.
It was only a matter of time before Greta Gerwig’s new movie “Barbie” became a right-wing target, given its mainstream popularity and message of female empowerment. Some are calling it “woke” and “man-hating feminist propaganda.”
Paige Masten saw the film and says those critics either didn’t pay enough attention or deliberately misunderstood the point.
