Glasgow has been missing since before sunup Jan. 28; his car was found abandoned the next day at a state park. Family and police say it's impossible to tell whether Glasgow killed himself, was...

Last night I was interviewed on BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight about the difference in the scale of media coverage following the disappearances of Madeleine McCann and Shannon Matthews. As so often with live broadcasts, the discussion was unsatisfying because it was too brief. However, I'm not quite certain whether I was on the right lines or not. First, the evidence, most of which was highlighted by an excellent Independent on Sunday article, Missing: The contrasting searches for Shannon and Madeleine. Coverage across all media, especially newspapers, has been noticeably less for nine-year-old Shannon than four-year-old Madeleine. Within two...

Where is accused terrorist Adam Gadahn? That’s what Taliban sources along the Afghan-Pakistan border are wondering about the American-born al-Qaida member. Gadahn, known as Azzam al-Ameriki (Azzam the American), joined al-Qaida in 2003 and has appeared in several bombastic al-Qaida videos since then.

At a late afternoon news conference, Reno police commander Ron Holladay said investigators think the same unidentified white male in his 30s is responsible for the earlier assault and last week's kidnapping of Brianna Denison, 19, from a friend's house near the University of Nevada, Reno campus.
