The officers took with them his picture and some intelligence: he's missing part of two fingers on his left hand. He doesn't go anywhere without his girlfriend, who's four or five months pregnant. They also thought Flesher might be with his one-armed brother, but neither man could be found. They crept up driveways and surrounded the homes, guns at the ready, to no avail.

"But it took a traumatic experience to bring this home."

Father's Day: Single, male, broody?

Google's cupcake princess, Marissa Mayer, and Kevin Rose, the playboy of the Webhead world, would make an awfully cute couple. Not romantically — the two are dating other people at the moment. But we hear Mayer is pushing hard for an acquisition of Rose's Digg, for a price below $200 million.
