Nevaeh Buchanan Body found

Family members of missing Nevaeh Buchanan say they believe the body found by investigators west of Monroe today is that of the 5-year-old girl. "I'm very, very sad," Shaun Lawson, Nevaeh's uncle, told a crowd of about 200 people gathered Thursday outside of the Charlotte Arms Apartments, where the girl went missing May 24. "It took Nevaeh's life to bring everyone together. ... (Authorities) are waiting for actual confirmation, but (the body) does match Nevaeh's description."
Earlier, police cordoned off an area near the River Raisin around Dixon Road in the area of Ida-Maybee and Neiman roads. By 7 p.m., at least four people in white Hazmat suits were walking along the south bank of the River Raisin in an area just east of railroad tracks near Yensch Road.
Monroe County Sheriff's Department and FBI officials would not confirm late Thursday that they had found the child's body. No positive identification of the body had been made by early Thursday evening but sheriff's deputies arrived at the apartment complex about 8:30 p.m. where people, some of them crying, had gathered as news of the developments unfolded.

National Doughnut Day

Happy National Doughnut Day! In honor of the big day, the dueling doughnut heavyweights are giving away morning treats. At Dunkin’ Donuts, any drink purchase scores a bonus doughnut. Krispy Kreme is doing a straight giveaway—one freebie per customer. If you'd rather part with a buck or two for a superior doughnut, check out The Serious Eats Honor Roll for top picks around the country.
What's the one holiday that can bridge all divides, bring together all Americans regardless of race, color, gender, age or favorite college football team? National Doughnut Day. Celebrated the first Friday of June -- that's TOMORROW -- it's a great excuse to treat friends, co-workers and most importantly yourself to a few dozen doughnuts.
The perfect marriage of starch, sugar and fat, the doughnut is the quintessential working man's snack. Perhaps that's why nearly every doughnut shop in the city -- Magee's, Spudnuts, Winchell's, Krispy Kreme, Yum Yum or any of the thousands of strip mall vendors -- offers a passable version. As long as they're not horribly stale, I'm happy to eat these miraculous deep-fried concoctions anytime, anywhere. But as a self-proclaimed doughnut aficionado I do have a few favorites.

David Carradine Murdered

This morning we woke up with the news that the suicide fact of well known Hollywood movie actor David Carradine is disputed. People close to him say David never called a suicide hotline, did not appear to suffer from depression and never mentioned receiving treatment from depression. Thai police says Carradine was not murdered and most likely died from Asphyxiation, reports WashPost.
David Carradine was a very talented actor. He had a long career in television, on stage and in the movies. He made an impression on many by the types of roles that he took. There was always a little mystery surrounding him as a person. He came across as a person who kept much of his life private; he was a shy person, according to some of his own statements. David came from a talented family of actors, so, it is no surprise that he was skilled at what he did.
If you grew up during the 70’s like I didb, you remember him from his television days. He was on Gunsmoke. Most noteworthy to a kid growing up during that time; he was a wise man on the show. He used his martial art skills in life to teach and inspire a young trainee on the television show, Kung Fu. Kids all around the nation wanted to be like “young grasshopper” with an adult who took the time to mentor him in life lessons.
