- A church caught on fire yesterday around 9:30 AM near Merchant Street. The fire department was called to the scene, and they were able to knock down the threat quickly. Only little damage was done to the exterior of the church; the interior of the church was not affected. The fire appears to have been accidental, but an investigation is taking place. (KOLO)
- Earlier last week, Kathleen "Kathy" Griffin was reported missing on Jan. 25. She was last seen in a Junkee Clothing Exchange van in Midtown. Griffin had lost the ability to recognize herself and loved ones due to a recent traumatic illness episode. Last Thursday evening, a report was released which confirmed that Griffin was found dead in her vehicle. Her cause of death will not be disclosed until examiners are able to perform an autopsy.
