Authorities say the initial investigation indicates Taylor was specifically targeted.

A murder suspect is on the loose in Statesville, North Carolina area. Several schools are in lockdown while authorities search for the man. He is wanted in connection with a man's body that was found in a wooded area over the weekend. 3 other suspects in that case have been arrested.

Police continue their search for Chester Arthur Stiles, the man they say videotaped himself raping a 3-year-old girl. Meantime the man who took the tape to police is said to make a court appearance in Nevada later today. 26-year-old Darren Tuck says he found that tape in a desert. Police say he held on to the tape for more than 5 months and admitted showing it to others. Tuck could be formally charged with child porn possession. The girl on the tape who is now seven was found by authorities on Friday.

US Supreme Court starts its new term today. And justices are preparing to tackle some tough issues like child pornography laws and executions by lethal injection.

It expects some extra time in airports security lines? If your children want to bring remote-controlled toys on the plane, the TSA says the screeners would be checking those toys more closely because terrorists could use them to set off explosives. So, to make travel easier, the agency suggests packing remote-controlled devices in your checked luggage.
