"This is truly a great moment for the state of Louisiana and for the

DNA evidence was the key to Lee's arrest. A career criminal, he

southwest Atlanta tire store. Authorities say Lee's DNA matches samples
taken from five women murdered in the state since 2001.

"They are unable to speak for themselves, so this task force spoke for
them and spoke loudly."

University who was abducted from her home last March. The entire state
is breathing a sigh of relief.

The Avalanche "Field of Dreams" promotion is again one of its most popular this season as little leaguers get to meet the Salem players in the pre-game.
Salem's Trevor Mote leads the team in runs batted in, but sometimes even the best of hitters need a little help on the base paths. Hector Gimenez is on the run from second, but the catcher is gunned down at the plate to keep last night's game scoreless in the third.
Wilmington's Justin Cowan opened the scoring in the top of the fourth with the blast to the base of the wall in left center. Scott Walter scores and it's 1-to-nothing visitors.
But Mote would pick up his 24th RBI of the season with this solo homer.
