The Friends of the Perry Hall Library kicked off the Perry Hall Library's first-ever speaker series on Tuesday.
Being a crime scene investigator is a lot less sexy than television shows would lead you to believe.

The 16-year-old also made 129 calls from her phone through the first six days of March 2009. Then, without any warning, the calls stopped on March 6, 2009. No more texts, voicemails or photos.
