Lisa Irwin was only 10 months old when she vanished from her family’s home in Kansas City, Missouri. Her mother had been the last person to see her on the evening of October 3, 2011, but by four a.m., the following morning the infant was missing. It’s been nearly 13 years since anyone has seen the missing girl, and with each year that passes the updates in her story become fewer and farther between. Meanwhile, the facts that do remain in the disappearance of Baby Lisa strongly implicate her parents, but police have never made any arrests over the course of this lengthy and fruitless search. From the very beginning of the search for Lisa Irwin, police have described her parents as being non-cooperative . To make matters worse for the missing baby’s parents, her mother Deborah Bradley, publicly admitted that she’d failed a polygraph test administered by authorities. On top of failing a polygraph test, the parents of the missing child were brought under further scrutiny when cadaver dog

Casey Anthony is refusing to go quietly into obscurity after she was acquitted in the murder of her child several years ago. Now numerous media sources are claiming the formerly-accused child killer wants to find her way into the homes of the public — via reality television. The Daily Beast reports that Casey Anthony wants to make an “intimate” reality television show , starring herself of course. The show would focus on the woman once-dubbed “Tot Mom” by the media, as she lives her day-to-day life post-acquittal. Viewers would see Anthony go on dates, find employment and just go about the motions of her life after escaping responsibility for her daughter’s 2008 death. Would you watch this potential reality television show starring Casey Anthony? A lot of people find this entire concept laughable, and television execs are reportedly shying away from the idea of running such a show.

New Hampshire Teen Aiden Studer has been arrested after police say he pushed over a porta-potty with a woman and her four-year-old child inside of it. The incident reportedly took place in Derryfield Park in New Hampshire, where police say an argument between the teen and the mother of the child had taken place prior.

There are currently 155 missing people in Las Vegas, Nevada — according to NAMUS — but that number could actually be higher. Who are these missing people, and why haven’t many of them gotten the media and public attention that every missing persons case deserves? Carroll Eugene Streich Thirty-seven-year-old Carroll Eugene Streich vanished from Nellis Airforce Base on June 1, 1969 — though, according to NAMUS, his last known contact was in 1972. Loved ones of the missing man believe that he might have intentionally gone AWOL, as this was during the war in Vietnam.

What happened to this missing man? If he’d gone AWOL voluntarily, wouldn’t he have at least reached out to loved ones over the course of the past several decades? Marie B.

A Florida man has been arrested after police in Lakeland say he shot his husband to death last week.

Authorities in Lakeland noted that while the 30-year-old victim had one shot that entered the front of his body, the backside of his body contained nine other gunshot entry wounds.

Is it legal to masturbate at work? While this might not seem like a question that pops up often, it’s actually widely asked. However, the answer to this question greatly depends on a number of circumstances. Masturbation is a natural part of human existence, and is a totally healthy thing to do, but what happens if you feel the need to rub one out during a work shift? Could you get fired? Worst yet: Could you be charged with a crime? Private vs Public Property Public indecency is illegal in public spaces in every state, but does your place of employment count as a public space? Furthermore, isn’t the privacy of a bathroom designed to keep private things private ?
