NEWS IN BRIEF
Wall Street has first
winning finish in
nearly two weeks
NEW YORK (AP) - Wall Street
scratched out its first winning
session in nearly two weeks
Wednesday in volatile trading
that saw investors vacillate
between bargain hunting and
profit taking.
Analysts were skeptical the
upturn would last, characterizing
it as just a short break in the
market's eight-week slide.
The Dow Jones industrials
closed up 69.37, or 0.8 percent,
at 8,542.48, according to prelim
inary calculations, after advanc
ing as much as 250 points earli
er in the day and then falling
into negative territory.
Yeast experiments
challenge scientists'
notions about aging
(AP) - An entire diet and
supplement industry has
sprung up around the notion
that one of the keys to a long
life is removing oxygen mole
cules called free radicals from
your body. But now experi
ments with yeast have called
that theory into question.
The experiments challenge the
notion that free radicals play a
central role in aging and longevity.
Sales of “antioxidant" vita
mins and supplements have
grown since earlier studies
suggested that free radicals
damage cells and DNA.
Abducted 5-year-old girl found dead,
investigators say killer left ‘calling card’
STANTON, Calif. (AP) — A kidnapped
5-year-old girl was sexually assaulted and
suffocated before her nude body was dumped
near a rural road in what investigators said
Wednesday was a “calling card” from the
killer warning that he intends to strike again.
Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona
said Samantha Runnion was asphyxiated
sometime Tuesday, though he did not say
bow she was killed.
Autopsy results showed she was alive for
Wirs after her abduction Monday evening.
.The sheriff also said Samantha may have
fought against her killer and inflicted “injuries
to his hands, arms and possibly face.”
“Don’t sleep, don’t eat, because we’re
coming after you,” Carona warned the killer
in a televised news conference near the girl’s
home in Stanton.
Authorities said there was no prime sus
pect, and Carona warned parents in the area to
tell their children to stay away from strangers.
Samantha’s abductor was described by police
as a Hispanic man with slicked-back black
hair and a thin, black mustache.
“We believe that he is a serial rapist and
perhaps a serial killer and would strike
again,” the sheriff said.
The news spread fear in Stanton, a city of
38,000 southeast of Los Angeles.
Tammie Pike, 31, clutched the hand of
her 6-year-old son, Anthony, as she headed
to a memorial to say a prayer for Samantha.
“I’m scared to let him go out,” said Pike,
who instructed her son to yell “fire” and to
run if a stranger approached him.
“I’m only allowed to talk to friends of my
mom,” Anthony said.
Samantha’s 27-year-old mother, Erin
Runnion, who made an anguished plea for
the return of her daughter a day earlier,
remained in seclusion Wednesday.
Samantha’s body was discovered
Tuesday afternoon, less than 24 hours and
about 50 miles from where she was abduct
ed kicking and screaming outside her apart
ment building by a man who pulled up in a
light green Honda or Acura car and asked
for help finding his puppy. Samantha was
playing with a 5-year-old friend at the time.
The abduction was at least the third
high-profile disappearance of a child in
the United States this year. Seven-year-
old Danielle van Dam of San Diego was
found dead, and a neighbor is on trial.
Fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Smart of Salt
Lake City has been missing since June 5.
Two men who had gone out to do some
hang-gliding spotted Samantha’s body in a
ravine near a glider launch site. It was in
neighboring Riverside County near heavily
traveled two-lane Highway 74, on the edge
of the Cleveland National Forest.
“The way the body was found, the fact it
was not buried, not hidden and such, and
how it was left is almost like a calling card,
like a challenge: ‘I’m here and I’m coming
back again.’ This is the reason why we’re
saying this person is going to strike again,”
FBI agent Richard Garcia said.
The remains were identified by the girl’s
grandmother from photos.
“Because the body was found very
quickly, we have a high expectation that
there will be significant forensic evidence
found at the scene and significant forensic
evidence found on the body of Samantha
Runnion,” the sheriff said.
Samantha’s mother, a British Petroleum
analyst in Long Beach, and stepfather, Ken
Donnelly, who works at an investment
firm, were at work at the time of the kid
napping. Her grandmother, Virginia
Runnion, was at home.
