Fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra, ra, ra

Well, it's been an interesting holiday...this Christmas...had pre-Christmas celebrations and spent the actual holiday well not with them...I spent it with friends and coworkers... intersting.. different for me. I did talk with both mom and dad...my first time not participating in family celebrations.
The funniest thing that for dinner a friend and I decided to take dinner together and decided that we didn't feel like making anything...so we went to get Chinese :) just like in A Christmas Story!! We got them to sing Deck the Hall and everything (not really, but it would have been funny)

Anyway so I hope all have had a wonderful time celebrating the birthday of Jesus.

Heaven La'Shae Ross (AKA Shae Shae)

Well it finally happened...a story that I worked on countless times, first the girl missing, then searches, then her room catches fire, someone spots her in Florida....there was year anneversery, birthday celebrations without her...I kept my hope up for the first year...after that 2nd time I talked to her mother...and then the 3rd...I felt sorry for her..I couldn't imagine a happy ending for this, the first open ended story in my career that I worked on.

And today we learned that her remains were found

This heart ache of a story is finally nearing a close...

New Alabama Head Coach?

Ok so I'm a couple hours late with this...but I don't promise to be late breaking...BUT it looks as if UA has extended a coaching offer to Rich Rodriguez.

Barry Krauss was in town here in Huntsville for a book signing tomorrow and so we pulled some strings and talked to him today about what he thinks...I'm a bama fan, not a CRAZY one, but I do like my crimson tide...it was great to chat with a guy that people would (in my news director's words) give thier eye teeth to just shake hands with.

This is interesting...wikipedia says that "Rich Rodriguez is the current head football coach at University of Alabama." and later goes on to say that he hasn't accepted yet...ok, come on rumors keep flying...I'll wait my happy self for another day or two to see if he accepts...he's not even going to acknowledge it unless he accepts, and he won't say ANYthing until he decides...we all know that's how it's going down.

Ok let's hope this shuttle launch goes all well so that Justin and I have a story for tonight...if they decide to post-pone we're making preps for bad checks devision of Madison County...some of these people that they are after have dozens of bad check warrents out with thousands of dollars of bad checks written...that's rediculous...maybe we should do away with checks altogether? here with the check/debit cards and credit cards, you almost don't need them...ALMOST I said...some of these poeple are just rediculous...
Madison County Worthless Check Division no pictures that I could find..but there's the link anyway

Amber Alert Hoax

ok so the media, police and everyone else got PLAYED by this most recent amber alert here in North Alabama.
So aparently a child was left in the car at a gas station in Albertville while the mother and her other daughter paid for gas and went to the bathroom...aparently someone for a truck hopped into that running car and drove it off...we all thought/hoped that he didn't realize the kid was in there, that he just wanted a car and was now starting to have a VERY bad day.

Justin and I go to Albertville find out that the mother was visiting her boyfriend there from Rainbow City (Gadsden basically) and was on her way back. The family was all gathered together waiting for good news. When we got there the mother's boyfriend showed up and took her back to his place and the rest of the the family was upset that she would go rest at a time like this...we also got wind that the family didn't really like the boyfriend, but didn't think much of it.

So today I find out that they found the boy...dead...in the trunck of the car...in the boyfriends 2nd residence near Gadsden. He is charged with murder, she is charged with hindering an investigation. The rumor now is that "G" was beat to death by the boyfriend for having bad grades...HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS??? and then the mother..what are you thinking??? ..if this is indeed the case (which a judge and jury will have to decide, I suppose)....

Then today we go to Gadsdsen and find our way around found kids that knew him and played with him in his neighborhood. Found the Courthouse to get some updated info...and also one of the Atlanta stations and most of the Brimingham stations, we talked to the bereau guys from NBC 13, very cool..the photog has won 3 emeys!! wow!

a wild wekk so far with a very sad story
