Missing Toddler Case Is 'Unlike Anything' Before, not reported missing for two months

Missing Toddler Case Is 'Unlike Anything' Before
Evelyn Boswell's mother didn't report her missing for over 2 months

A missing-toddler case made headlines Friday when the girl's grandmother was pulled over in a reportedly stolen BMW, the Knoxville News-Sentinel reports. Angela Boswell, 42, and her companion William McCloud, 33, were arrested in North Carolina and charged with possessing stolen property. Whether this helps in finding Evelyn Boswell—a 15-month-old Tennessee girl last seen in December—remains to be seen. Investigators say the case is muddied by the fact that Evelyn's mother, Megan, has given conflicting statements, and didn't report her missing until Tuesday. For more:

'Kinda vanished': "Well the reason I didn't report it or anything was I knew the person who had her, and I didn't want them to run away with her," the East Tennessee woman tells WCYB. "And as soon as they thought anything was going on they just kinda vanished. ... In a way I knew that as soon as anything went down this person was going to disappear and they have. They won't answer phone calls."

Trump Was Furious That Cruise Ship Passengers With Coronavirus Were Brought Back to U.S.

Trump Was Furious That Cruise Ship Passengers With Coronavirus Were Brought Back to U.S.
State Department officials flew back more than 300 passengers from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, including 14 American citizens who tested positive for the virus. The move took Mr. Trump by surprise.


WASHINGTON — President Trump was infuriated that 14 American citizens who had tested positive for coronavirus were permitted to return this week to the United States, said two senior administration officials. The decision had taken the president, a self-declared “germophobe,” by surprise.

Officials at the State Department decided to bring back the citizens, who had been quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan, after consulting with a senior official at the Department of Health and Human Services. But officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention objected, concerned that the passengers, among hundreds of Americans being evacuated from the ship, could spread the virus. News organizations reported on the decision on Monday, and the passengers arrived in the United States that day.

Mr. Trump, furious at not having been briefed on the Americans who had tested positive, relayed his anger to Alex M. Azar II, the health and human services secretary, and other top officials. They then alerted the White House interagency task force on the coronavirus, which Mr. Azar oversees. One official said Mr. Trump views shutting the borders to infected people as critical to keeping the country safe and wants to be seen as managing a proper response.

pitbull-ish dog doing good. dog protects lost child even from neighbor who first found him.

Get those treats ready, because Buddy surely deserves them. First Coast News reports a 3-year-old boy who went missing in Florida this week is now "safe and sound," and it's partly because his family's dog was with him the whole time, keeping watch over him. Fox News cites a Facebook post by the Suwannee County Sheriff's Office that notes a mom in Suwannee County placed a 911 call Tuesday, "frantic" because her young son had disappeared from their yard along with Buddy. Deputies, investigators, and K9 units converged on the area around the home, but a call from a neighbor soon led them closer to the missing pair.

The neighbor told the 911 dispatcher he'd found a child and dog in the woods, but that the dog wouldn't let him near the boy. WCTV has some of the bodycam footage released by the sheriff's office that shows Buddy leading deputies to the boy. "Fortunately, we were able to reunite the child with his mother, thanks in part to 'man's best friend' and an alert neighbor," the Facebook post notes, using the hashtags #givethatdogabone and #LassieaintgotnothingonBuddy. "It was such a good ending to something that could have been tragic," Sheriff Sam St. John says, per WCTV. (Read more uplifting news stories.)
