What's in The News Today

Parents of a 3-year-old girl forget their daughter at Chuck E Cheese. The girl named Harmony was left behind in the restaurant in Bel Air, Md. The parents did not become aware of their daughter missing until the 11 p.m. news that evening. The parents of Harmony share custody and assumed that a family member would take her home. The police were unable to locate her parents that is when her face appeared on the news. She was released from child services to her mother once they realized that it was a mistake and not abandonment.

An Ex-FBI agent is believed to be held in Iran as a hostage. Robert Levinson went missing 5 years ago this week on a business trip in Iran.  The FBI director Robert Mueller and Christine Levinson wife of 37 years is offering a $1 million award for his return. The FBI will put up billboards with pictures in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other places within the region. Levinson vanished from Kish Island on March 9, 2007 and was thought to be dead until a "proof of life" video appeared in late 2011.  In the video he addressed his wife "my beautiful, my loving, loyal wife Christine and that he is being held hostage and that his diabetic medicine is running out and he is not in good health." He didn't name his captors, but begged for the United Stated to deal with them. He also said "he needs the help of the United States government to answer the requests from the group that has held him captive for the last 3 1/2 years." Levinson was retired 10 years from the FBI before he vanished. He worked for  a private investigation firm at the time he went missing. He is a father of 7 children, and his family wants to generate as much press as possible this week being the 5 year anniversary of his disappearance.
