Kamille McKinney Found Dead; Bill Clark Honored: The Week In News

BIRMINGHAM, AL — The past week was full of noteworthy news items, but perhaps none quite as high-profile as the news surrounding the kidnapping of 3-year-old Kamille "Cupcake" McKinney. The 10-day investigation into the young girl's disappearance ended this week with some tragic news, as police discovered the toddler's dead body in a dumpster.

Kamille's death and the subsequent murder charges against two suspects dominated much of the Birmingham news stories this week, but other stories gained a great deal of attention as well, including an honor for UAB football coach Bill Clark, and an arrest of a man who led police on two separate chases in two weeks.
