John Riley Audience Editor

A brutal attacker's cold case was finally solved after 50 years. A behind-the-scenes tour of a Disney park after all the guests leave. And is it really OK to take a baby to a concert?

Rottler's quest for answers would span decades – past her marriage, past the births of her children and grandchildren, past the loss of loved ones.  She never gave up. This is her story.

The image drew mostly negative reactions, but sparked a debate: How young is too young to be at a show?πŸ‘Ά
