Sadie Robertson Huff is leaning on family history as she brings her children into the spotlight.

The “Duck Dynasty” alum defended her decision to film with her kids for the show’s spinoff series, crediting her mother’s example for giving her the confidence to say yes. Huff has embraced the choice as a full-circle moment as she films her day-to-day life for “Duck Dynasty: The Revival.”

“You know what’s cool is, I told my mom this the other day. I said, ‘I hope you feel complimented by the fact that I’m doing so many things the same that you did for me as a kid. Like I’m wanting to repeat my childhood with them.’ And my mom was like, ‘That’s the nicest thing ever,'” Robertson told Fox News Digital while discussing her partnership with Minno, a Christian streaming app and digital media platform for kids.

“And I really mean that. Like, you know, I think giving me the confidence to say yes to doing a TV show with my kids was because my mom did it with me when I was a kid, and I’m so grateful that she did,” Huff added.

Huff admitted the decision has come with added pressure now that she’s the one calling the shots.

“Now, there’s so many fears, there’s so many things that we’ve had to navigate in hard days. It was certainly way easier to do a TV show as the kid. I was just having fun. Now as the mom, you’re weighing all these things.”

“… It was such a good experience for me as a kid, I wanted them to have it and my kids loved it. Every day Honey would be like, ‘Is the film crew coming tomorrow?’ She had so much fun filming. She is the biggest ‘Duck Dynasty’ fan. She loves to watch the show, and it’s actually been really fun. So I don’t know that we’re doing a lot differently.”

Huff revealed she’s actually been “leaning in a lot” when it comes to her mom’s wisdom on how to raise her kids in the spotlight. Calling her mom her mentor, Huff explained Korie Robertson has been her guiding light.

Huff gained fame alongside her family while starring in A&E’s hit reality TV series, “Duck Dynasty” in 2012. Her reality TV fame helped launch her entertainment career, which features a “Dancing with the Stars” appearance, published faith-based books, and motivational speaking gigs.

Huff married fitness coach Christian Huff in 2019, and the couple shares three daughters: Honey, Haven and Kit.

While Huff shares her life on camera, she also shares it online with her 5.3 million Instagram followers. She told Fox News Digital she’s constantly trying to discern where the boundary lies when it comes to her children’s privacy.

“We feel so called by Matthew 5 — ‘be the light of the world’ — and so that’s why we chose to share our family because we do feel like hopefully we can help other families see a family of faith and a family who really loves each other. We have all the struggles everybody else does, but this is where we find, you know, our hope.”

“… There’s a lot we keep private,” she added. “And then, when we decide to share all the things that we do share, it’s for the purpose of bringing people hope, bringing people to laugh. Hopefully steering people in the right direction … We try to keep our focus clear on social media.”

Huff and her husband also rely on their faith when it comes to day-to-day parenting.

“Christian and I always say that, ‘I don’t know how you do it without faith. I don’t know how you do it without the Holy Spirit being in your life, just helping you,’ because parenting is hard. There’s a lot of insecurities that come around parenting. And I think, especially in this day of social media, the temptation — and even ChatGPT, the temptation is like, ‘Well, what are they doing? What are they doing? Let me ask chat the question.’ And what I don’t think people are realizing, or maybe they do, but you don’t have another answer for it, is that just makes you more and more anxious.”

“It’s like, okay, well, you always feel like you’re not doing enough, someone’s doing it better. You always feel a little panicky, a little on edge, a lil anxious. But yet, when you parent with faith, and you don’t have to go to social media or ChatGPT, but can go to God and say, ‘God? You knit these little kids together in my womb. How do I parent them, you know? Give me the grace for today. Give me this strength for today, give me the wisdom.‘”

She contrasted that uneasy, pressure-filled mindset with what she said is her more grounded reality. Huff explained that while it can be tempting to seek answers from modern outlets, she’s learned they don’t offer the same sense of peace or direction.

“I have realized, even in my own life, when I turn to things like ChatGPT, or when I turn to things like social media — it’s not that you can’t learn some from that. But if that’s my source, I’m gonna be anxious and I always feel like I’m not doing enough. But when I’ve turned to God, prayer, and even mentors in my life — my mom, my grandmother, friends that I see doing a great job — that’s when I feel strengthened. And that’s where I feel like I actually have direction for how to be a good mom.”

Michigan authorities have identified the man responsible for the murder of 16-year-old Sheri Jo Elliott, putting an end to a four-decades-old cold case and marking the latest crime to be solved using advanced DNA technology. 

Roni Collins, a 75-year-old resident of Grand Blanc, has been named as Elliott’s killer, according to the Michigan State Police.

On Nov. 16, 1983, Elliott left her home in Flint to walk to the bus stop and was never seen again.

She was reported missing several hours later when she failed to return home from school.

Authorities searched alongside Elliott’s family for several days in an agonizing effort to locate their missing loved one. 

“It was terrible. But we went and passed missing signs to everybody you know in the neighborhood and in town and stores would put the missing in the windows,” Elliott’s aunt, Judy Sika, told FOX 66. 

Four days after her disappearance, Elliott’s body was discovered in a ditch in nearby Saginaw County. 

An autopsy revealed she had been sexually assaulted and shot multiple times, according to authorities.

“You just don’t know what a terrible thing it is in your mind when they tell you they found her body,” Sika told FOX 66. “That was awful.”

However, a break in the case came after the MSP reopened the investigation in 2023 alongside the Western Michigan University Cold Case Program to take a fresh look at the evidence.

“The students assisted in reorganizing and digitizing decades of investigative material, providing critical support to the renewed investigation,” MSP said in a statement. 

The newly reexamined evidence led police to Collins, but not before he died by suicide in January of this year before authorities could obtain a voluntary DNA sample.

Using DNA collected from Collins’ autopsy, investigators “analyzed and conclusively matched evidence recovered from Elliott in 1983, identifying him as the individual responsible for the crime,” MSP said. 

The case is only the latest to use forensic genetic genealogy to lead investigators to the individual responsible for a long-unsolved murder.

“They worked up logical family members, and that can be a thousand people that you have to vet and verify who could probably be related to this person,” Tom Myers, a retired FBI forensic agent, told Fox News Digital. 

“Then you start to develop who’s the likely person,” Myers added. “It’ll usually come down to three or five people like that. Or sometimes, maybe it’s one person who stands out and then when you crosscut that with somebody who’s been a bad boy their entire life then that’s a good chance that that’s who your person is.”

According to Myers, the reality of testing cold case evidence also comes with the possibility that samples may have been damaged or degraded over time. However, the implementation of genetic genealogy has made it easier for investigators to do more, with less. 

“They now can get DNA from a single hair strand, versus a strand of hair with a follicle,” Myers said. “In the 1980s to 1990s, it was a nickel-sized stain down to a dime. Now, it’s three to five skin cells – you can’t even see it. That’s the DNA.”

In light of yet another cold case being solved by genetic genealogy testing, Myers insists the new technology will likely act as a deterrent for aspiring criminals who may rethink their crimes due to the increased possibility of being caught. 

“Investigative genealogy is more comprehensive and, of course, a bigger thing,” Myers told Fox News Digital. “But if [investigators are] on top of their game, you better be afraid, because they’ll get it.”

This ain’t your grandmother’s “Mummy.”

Nearly 100 years after the iconic monster graced the big screen comes a reimagining from New Line Cinema. The starring mummy isn’t an ancient Egyptian high priest. It’s an adolescent girl.

The film follows the Cannon family. Charlie (Jack Reynor), the father, is an American reporter stationed in Cairo, bringing his pregnant wife Larissa (Laia Costa) and their two young children Katie and Sebastian (Emily Mitchell and Dean Allen Williams) for a months-long stint overseas. Tragedy strikes when Katie is kidnapped from the family garden. The police are puzzled by her disappearance and the case immediately goes cold.

Eight years later, the Cannons find themselves settled in Albuquerque, New Mexico, staying at the home of Larissa’s religious mother, Carmen (Veronica Falcón). Charlie is now working at a local TV station instead of working at a dream job he was previously offered in New York and with them are teenage Sebastian (Shylo Molina) and 8-year-old Maude (Billie Roy).

Out of nowhere, Charlie receives a call from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. Authorities found Katie alive and mysteriously found in a 3,000-year-old sarcophagus and wrapped like a mummy.

Charlie and Larissa immediately fly to meet Katie (now played by Natalie Grace) in the hospital. Their daughter appears to be in a grim, vegetative state with colorless skin, cracked teeth and nails as thick as clay. They take her home, but it doesn’t take long for her to violently act out. Meanwhile, Cairo Police Detective Dalia Zaki (May Calamawy), who was brought on the case when Katie first disappeared, attempts to seek the truth about what happened to Katie.

This “Mummy” is a departure from the one that we’re used to. That’s likely because Universal has the rights to the long-standing depiction of the movie monster, which is why “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” doesn’t feel much like a “Mummy” movie at all. It actually feels more like an “Exorcist” movie, especially with Natalie Grace’s brilliantly twisted performance as the possessed Katie, rivaling Linda Blair in the Oscar-winning classic.

The aforementioned Lee Cronin, who previously wrote and directed 2023’s “Evil Dead Rise,” brings his creative team back, making “The Mummy” feel like an extension of his horror predecessor, from the striking compositions by cinematographer David Garbett to the dramatic score from composer Stephen McKeon.

The film, produced by genre heavy hitters James Wan and Jason Blum, falls prey to what many other horror flicks rely on: gross visuals. Shock value has often replaced genuine terror, and this “Mummy” is no different. The physical trauma post-mummy Katie poses on herself and members of her family is quite gruesome, which seems to pass for horror these days.

While Cronin’s “Mummy” keeps viewers engaged despite its lengthy runtime, it really falls apart in the third act. But Veronica Falcón deserves a shoutout, bringing comic relief as the no-nonsense grandma, as does young Billie Roy, who goes from adorable to malicious when under Katie’s control.

‘UNDERTONE’ REVIEW: AN UNSETTLING HORROR FILM THAT’S MEANT TO BE HEARD

“Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” displays quality film making in an otherwise fairly forgettable version of a revered Hollywood monster. Horror fans may get their fix, but this is far from a must-see.

“Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” is rated R for strong disturbing violent content, gore, language and brief drug use. Running time: 2 hours, 13 minutes. In theaters now.
