Police hunt missing 2-year-old
MANASSAS - Police were searching Monday for a missing 2-year-old girl.
Karynne Sheldon was last seen at 10:30 a.m. in the yard of a construction business where her mother works as a receptionist. Her mother reportedly had gone inside to answer a phone.
William County police spokeswoman Kim Chinn said there were no indications the girl had been abducted. She said Karynne might have walked into a heavily wooded area nearby.

Boyfriend waives hearing in death
PRINCE GEORGE - A man accused of strangling his pregnant girlfriend and abandoning her baby daughter waived a preliminary hearing Monday.
Malcolm Ruffin, 31, was in General District Court long enough to sign the waiver, then was returned to the Sussex County Jail. A grand jury is expected to decide Nov. 19 whether to indict him for first-degree murder.
Ruffin has been in jail since Aug. 21 when he led police to the body of Antitca Hurt, 22, in a wooded area. The Petersburg woman was nine months pregnant with her third child. Her 1-year-old daughter, Juliyuah Hurt, was found crawling around a Chesapeake street the day before.

Prince William studies curfew plan
MANASSAS - Prince William County police would conduct unannounced, late-night roundups of teen-age curfew violators under a proposal being considered by county supervisors.
The proposal would bar people younger than 17 from being out from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. weekdays and midnight to 5 a.m. weekends. Exceptions would be given for teen-agers who are with a parent, at work, on an errand for an adult or at a school-sponsored function.
Supervisors have scheduled a hearing on the plan for Nov. 19.
