A man who had gone missing in the Angeles National Forest in Southern California has been found,five days after he was reported missing. George Null was spotted deep in Bear Canyon in the Buckhorn, Mount Waterman area, a remote part of the forest, CBS Los Angeles reports.
"The area he was located was about 2,500 feet," Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Sergeant John Gilbert told CBS L.A. "The mountaintop he came off of in order to get there is at approximately 8,000 feet, so over several days, he'd made a lot of progress downstream." CBS L.A. spoke with the 58-year-old's sister, Rebecca Latta, who said Null is an experienced hiker and Eagle Scout but became disoriented during his hike because many trail markers were burned during last year's Bobcat Fire.Authorities made two gruesome discoveries Tuesday after a Missouri woman walked into a police station and told officers that she fatally shot one of her children and drowned the other, officials said. Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said at a news conference that authorities believe both children were killed Tuesday morning.
Strong storms with damaging winds and baseball-sized hail pummeled Texas on Tuesday, leaving more than one million businesses and homes without power as much of the U.S. recovered from severe weather, including tornadoes, that killed at least 24 people in seven states during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
