He-Artbreak In A Small Town: Where Is Kathleen Shea?
Kathy Shea was extremely excited about going back to school on March 18, 1965. The past few weeks hadn’t been a lot of fun for the kindergarten student. First she had to have her tonsils taken out, and then she caught chicken pox while she was still recovering from surgery. She had to miss quite a bit of school because of this, but she was finally feeling better and couldn’t wait to get back to class to see her friends. She was enrolled in the afternoon kindergarten class at Adams Elementary School, which meant she didn’t have to leave for school until after lunch each day.

The Mysterious Disappearance Of Alexandria Lowitzer
Alexandria Lowitzer was riding the school bus home from school on the afternoon of April 26, 2010 when she called her mother to tell her that she had forgotten her house key. The 16-year-old, who preferred to be called Ali, also asked if it was okay for her to walk to the Burger Barn where she worked to pick up her paycheck. Her mother, JoAnn, told her not to worry about not having her house key, as her older brother was still at the house so the door was unlocked. She did not, however, think it was a good idea for Ali to walk to get her paycheck. Although the Burger Barn was less than a half mile from their home in Spring, Texas, Ali had never walked there before; she only recently started working there and her grandmother had always driven her. It was a short walk, but there were no sidewalks along the main road Ali would have to take to get there.

Identifying the “most corrupt country in the world” can be difficult, as different organizations and studies use different metrics.
