A Stolen Life: Jaycee Dugard’s story

Until the day my life was stolen.” Simon and Schuster has just released A Stolen Life, a memoir by Jaycee Dugard. A portion of the proceeds from the book and audio book (read by the author) will go to The JAYC Foundation, which provides support and services for the timely treatment of families recovering from abduction and the aftermath of traumatic experiences.

Still Searching for Madeleine McCann

Kate and Gerry McCann appeared on Oprah this week to remind the world that they are still seaching for their daughter, Madeleine McCann, who disappeared two years ago from a resort in Praia da Luze, Portugal.

Of the age-progressed sketch, Kate said, “I don’t know that little girl.” She went on to say that the...

Luis Meza Valdiva took his 22-month-old daughter, Yosseline, by gunpoint from her mother on East 14th Street in San Leandro this morning. I could not find this listed on the Amber Alert website. My information comes from the Chronicle: Valdiva is described as a Latino man with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds.
