In Joplin, police are trying to arrest a man named Byron D. Lang, who's been charged with second-degree murder in connection with a 2-year-old's death there back in 2008. Lang skipped out on his bond, Kathee Baird reports, and though authorities think he probably fled to Texas, there's a chance he might be in the area for Christmas. More from the Globe.
Hat Tip: Many thanks, Kathee!
