Five years ago tonight, I went over to the local Best Buy in Woodland Hills. I decided to buy a DVD to watch.
I ended up buying So Proudly We Hail, starring Claudette Colbert and (future Superman) George Reeves.
At the same time, a tragedy was unfolding half-way across the country in Overland Park, Kansas.
Recent high school graduate Kelsey Smith was abducted from a Target parking lot that evening. This led to a family's frantic search and a drama that captured the attention of a nation.
Thanks to a security camera video, cell phone pings, police detective work and the total ineptness of the killer, Kelsey was found and her killer was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Today begins a time of remembrance and reflection.
