It was two years ago today that Michael and Mary Short were found murdered in their Henry County home. The body of their nine-year-old daughter, Jennifer, was discovered more than a month later in North Carolina. No arrests have been made, but a team of investigators continues to work full time on the case. As Jennifer Wishon reports, they're reaching out to the public to help solve the mystery.

The 2003 blackout affected several states, leaving 50-million Americans without power -- some for several days. It began when an overloaded power line in Ohio touched a tree limb that an Akron-based power company left untrimmed.

Federal investigators proposed changes in legislation to mandate maintenance schedules for the utility industry, but the efforts fizzled.

Vijay fired a 4-over 76 today without a birdie, but on the first hole of the three hole playoff he drained this putt for bird.
That proved to be the difference. While Leonard and Dimarco scrambled, Singh made par on the third extra hole to win by a shot, claiming the Wannamaker trophy for a second time.
