New York family hopes human remains found in basement will lead to answers about missing father.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Long Island family excavating their concrete basement made a grisly discovery this week they hope might give them answers to a nearly six-decade-old mystery.

Suffolk County police said the family, who owns a home in Lake Grove, N.Y., stumbled upon what could possibly be the remains of the home's long-lost owner.

Homicide Det. Lt. Kevin Beyrer told reporter DNA tests on the remains dug-up late Tuesday night will help determine if it's George Carroll, the family's patriarch, who disappeared in 1961.

"We can't say for sure that it is the father, but we suspect that it is," Beyrer told Newsday. "It was just always a family legend or lore that the father was buried in the basement since 1961."

Police said the four Carroll children spent years searching for their father - a Korean War veteran -- looking online for any clues about his whereabouts. They never received a straight answer from their mother, Dorothy Carroll, on what happened to her father.

Dorothy Carroll died in 1998, Newsday reported.

Based on the rumor that his father might be buried in the home, his son Michael Carroll, 57, hired a company with ground-penetrating radar to examine the basement. The family has owned the house since 1955.

Based on those results, Michael Carroll's sons, both in their 20s, started digging a few months ago, police said.

Around 10 p.m. Tuesday, they found the remains. On Wednesday, they called the police.

Michael Carroll, a respiratory therapist, told Newsday that he had no doubt that the remains were human bones. He believes they are his father's.

"I'm happy for my dad because he's out of there," he told the newspaper. "He didn't deserve to be in the hole. Now I can give him a decent burial."

Beyrer said there is no indication that a missing-persons report was ever filed for George Carroll, but it is under investigation. He said the remains were discovered about four to five feet underneath the basement's concrete floor. DNA tests will determine who the remains belong to, and the medical examiner will work to determine the official cause of death.

He said the hole may be an old well, which some of the older Carroll children remembered had been covered up by concrete at some point.

At the moment, there is no indication of foul play and it is unclear who the remains got into the basement hole.

Michael Carroll told Newsday that he was only months old when his father disappeared and only has one photo of him.

Tennessee death row inmate chooses pickled pig knuckles, tails as last meal before execution by electric chair

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Tennessee death row inmate chose pickled pig knuckles and pig tails as his last meal before a scheduled execution by electric chair Thursday, officials said.

Edmund Zagorski, who was sentenced in 1984 to die for killing two men during a drug deal, will be delivered the meal Thursday prior to being put to death, the Tennessean reported. He was moved to death watch earlier this week despite questions surrounding his execution.

The 63-year-old convicted killer will die in an electric chair after he requested the courts to halt his initial execution on Oct. 11 because he wanted to avoid the "unspeakable" torture of a lethal injection death, his lawyer said at the time.
TENNESSEE INMATE ASKS TO BE EXECUTED BY ELECTRIC CHAIR TO AVOID 'TORTURE' OF LETHAL INJECTION DEATH
Zagorski had opted not to order a last meal for his Oct. 11 death, the Tennessean reported. At the time, other inmates at Riverbend Maximum Security Institute who are friendly with Zagorski reportedly collected money to get him pizza.

"Should he change his mind and want to have dinner, his meal will be the same as the one provided to the other inmates at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution," the TDOC said when Zagorski chose not to select a last meal.

Death row inmates are given $20 for a meal of their choice prior to their execution.

If he is executed as scheduled, Zagorski will become the second person put to death by electrocution in Tennessee since 1960. Daryl Holton chose to die in the electric chair in 2007.
TENNESSEE CONVICTED CHILD KILLER BILLY RAY IRICK PICKS DELUXE BURGER COMBO AS LAST MEAL BEFORE EXECUTION
A lawyer for Zagorski said the inmate wanted death by electric chair because it's "the lesser of two evils."

"Faced with the choice of two unconstitutional methods of execution, Mr. Zagorski has indicated that if his execution is to move forward, he believes that the electric chair is the lesser of two evils," attorney Kelley Henry said.

Some doctors have said inmates being executed by lethal injection will feel like they are simultaneously drowning and burning alive.

"Ten to 18 minutes of drowning, suffocation and chemical burning is unspeakable," Henry said, adding the choice isn't to delay the execution.

Five people -- including three children -- were struck by a vehicle Thursday morning in Florida, police said.

All five victims were waiting at a school bus stop in Tampa around 8 a.m. when a vehicle speeding down a residential road hit them, police said. The victims were transported to a local hospital and one child was in critical condition, according to FOX13 Tampa Bay. The kids' ages range from 6 to 8 years old.

The driver of the vehicle was detained, the station reported. It wasn't immediately clear whether the person was facing charges.

All three kids attend Carter G. Woodson, which was about 9 miles away from their bus stop, according to FOX13. Helicopter footage showed backpacks sprawled across the sidewalk and emergency vehicles blocking off the roadway.

An ambulance responding to the scene was also involved in a crash. Helicopter footage from that wreck appeared to show the ambulance hit a utility pole after striking a vehicle. There were injuries in the crash, a Tampa Fire Rescue spokesperson told the station, but the number of victims wasn't clear.

This is the second such vehicle incident this week involving schoolkids at a bus stop.

A fourth child, 11-year-old Maverik Lowe, was critically injured in the incident and airlifted to a hospital, police said.

Shepherd was charged with "three felony charges of reckless homicide" and "a misdemeanor count for passing a school bus, with the stop arm extended, causing injury."

Migrant caravan coordinator asked the Mexican government to provide dozens of buses to speed up the group's journey northward.The Mexican Government did not provide buses.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The leading migrant caravan trying to make its way to the United States border is admitting defeat after asking the Mexican government to provide dozens of buses to speed up the group's journey northward.

The setback comes days after caravan leaders asked for "safe and dignified" transport to Mexico City, a checkpoint along the way for a group that has been dwindling in size as members either apply for protected status in Mexico or drop out over fatigue exacerbated by the sweltering weather conditions they have been facing.

"The attempt to travel by bus failed," caravan coordinator Walter Cuello told the Associated Press Wednesday night.

It has been a tumultuous journey so far for the leading caravan, which is now estimated to contain around 4,000 people - down from a peak of more than 7,000.

The caravan crossed into Mexico from Guatemala around Oct. 19 and, at the start of this week, appeared to be pushing northward at a faster pace with the help of free rides being offered to them in trucks and other vehicles.

But the arduous nature of the trek - walking day by day to new towns and cities and sleeping on the streets - has been eating away at the migrants' morale from the outset. The request for bus travel for all also indicates an increased sense of urgency amongst the caravan's members to make it to the U.S. border - despite thousands of American troops awaiting them there and a steady drumbeat of warnings from President Trump and U.S. officials to turn around.

"Of the friends that I have been with, all want to go back," Hasiel Isamar Hernandez, a 28-year-old mother of three from Honduras, told the Associated Press days ago. The caravan originated in that country as many are trying to flee its pervasive poverty and violence.

Not all of the migrants that have abandoned the journey though are going back to Honduras. Mexican Interior Secretary Alfonso Navarrete Prida said about 2,300 of them so far have applied to stay in Mexico under a government plan, and hundreds more have accepted assisted repatriation.

Around 3 a.m. Thursday morning, the lead caravan, according to the Associated Press, hit the road from Juchitan in southern Mexico for a trek to Santa Maria Jalapa del Marques, about 35 miles to the west.

The group is moving early because temperatures at their destination are forecast to peak at 93 degrees today.

The leading caravan is still about 900 miles from the closest entry point into the U.S. - but their intended route remains a mystery. However, choosing Jalapa del Marques as the next stop appeared to indicate they are opting to travel via Oaxaca state's eponymous capital instead of turning north toward the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, which is a common transit route toward McAllen, Texas.

Three more caravans are now behind them.

A second, smaller group of 1,000 or so migrants is more than 200 miles back. A third band of about 500 from El Salvador has made it to Guatemala, and a fourth group of about 700 set out from the Salvadoran capital Wednesday.

Mexico's government so far has flip-flopped on how they plan to deal with the caravans.

The first two caravans were confronted by Mexican federal police at a bridge crossing along its border with Guatemala. The officers stopped them from walking en masse over the bridge - but didn't prevent them from entering their country entirely. The migrants simply waded across the Suchiate River to get past the police, sometimes in their line of sight.

Stunning images have emerged this week capturing the second caravan moving across the river.

In the first week after the leading caravan got into Mexico, federal police sometimes enforced obscure safety rules, forcing them off paid mini-buses, citing insurance regulations, added the Associated Press. They also stopped some overloaded pickup trucks carrying migrants and forced them to get off.

But in recent days, officials from Mexico's immigrant protection agency have organized rides for straggling women and children as a humanitarian effort. And police have routinely stood by as migrants piled aboard freight trucks.

Also Wednesday, a Guatemalan woman gave birth to the first known caravan baby at a hospital in Juchitan. Mexico's governmental National Human Rights Commission said it had arranged for medical attention for the woman.

A 9 year old boy was hit by a pickup truck while crossing the road to get on the school bus in Memphis, Tennessee

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A child has died after he was hit by a pickup truck as he was about to board a school bus on a Mississippi highway.

Lee County Coroner Carolyn Green identified the child as 9-year-old Dalen Thomas.

Authorities in Lee County are investigating the incident that occurred on Highway 370 at around 7 a.m. Wednesday morning, according to ABC Mississippi affiliate WTVA.

Thomas was taken to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where he later died, according to Green.

ABC News has reached out to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, but they did not return a request for comment.

State troopers said Thomas was a student at Baldwyn Elementary School, according to WTVA. When they arrived at the scene it appeared the driver of a westbound Toyota pickup truck struck the child as he was crossing the road to get onto the school bus, according to WTVA. The driver has been cooperating with authorities.

"The bus was properly stopped when a truck hit the student," Baldwyn School District Assistant Superintendent Raymond Craven told WTVA. "We are asking for prayers for the family and for the school."

"We are working with law enforcement to investigate the accident. The safety of our students will always be the number one concern," Baldwyn School District Superintendent Jason McKay told WTVA.

ABC News reached out to Baldwyn Elementary School, but they did not respond to a request for comment.

Four other students were on the school bus at the time of the incident, Mississippi Highway Patrol told WTVA. The school district made arrangements to get the other four students to school after the accident.

Hungover employee falls asleep in cargo hold of an airplane

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
American Airlines flight 363 was only supposed to have 86 people on board -- its 87th was hungover and asleep in the cargo hold.

A hungover employee for regional carrier Piedmont Airlines fell asleep in the cargo hold of an American Airlines flight from Kansas City last week and took the one-hour ride to Chicago, Sgt. Rocco Alioto, spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, told ABC News.

Because the area of the hold was pressurized and heated, he survived and was discovered by ground employees upon landing at O'Hare International Airport, according to American Airlines.

AP

The employee was interviewed by the Chicago Police Department and told authorities that he had been drinking the night before and fell asleep in the cargo hold after arriving at work, according to a police spokesman.

He has been suspended from work pending the investigation, American Airlines said.

M. Spencer Green/AP

A source briefed on the incident told ABC News that he wasn't discovered before departure likely because there was no luggage loaded in the forward hold for the flight.

The FBI worked the case alongside the Chicago Police Department; all declined to press charges.

AP

"A Piedmont Airlines employee, who was working an American Airlines flight on the morning of Oct. 27 at Kansas City International Airport (MCI), inadvertently fell asleep in the forward cargo hold of a Boeing 737-800 aircraft," American Airlines said in a statement. "The flight subsequently took off with the team member in the cargo hold, which was heated and pressurized.

"Our top priority is ensuring the well-being of the Piedmont employee," the statement continued. "He did not request any medical attention upon arrival in Chicago, and we are grateful that he did not sustain any injuries. The American team is very concerned about this serious situation, and we are reviewing what transpired with our Piedmont and Kansas City colleagues."

A woman in Arizona was rescued after six days after a car crash that left her vehicle suspended in a tree.

The 53-year-old was driving on U.S. Route 60 on Oct. 12 near Wickenburg, roughly 65 miles northwest of Phoenix, when she lost control of her car, Fox 10 reported, citing the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS).

The vehicle went through a fence and dropped 50 feet before getting caught in a tree, where it was suspended for nearly a week.
FATAL CAR WRECK TOOK 18 HOURS TO FIND
Department of Transportation workers spotted the damaged fence and the vehicle six days later on Oct. 18. A DPS trooper followed human tracks from the wreck and found the woman, wounded and dehydrated, near a river bed.

The woman reportedly told the officer she stayed inside of the vehicle for a few days before getting out. She tried to walk toward railroad tracks to find help, but didn't make it. She was airlifted to a hospital.

Col. Frank Milstead, of DPS, said that "everyone involved" with aiding the stranded woman "is exemplary and to be commended. Due to their outstanding efforts, this woman's life was saved."

A rancher and highway workers who were chasing a cow found a 53-year-old woman who survived in the Arizona desert for six days after a car wreck that left her seriously injured, officials said Wednesday.

The unidentified woman was discovered curled up in a dry riverbed and severely dehydrated on Oct. 18.

"She was in the fetal position, and there was no movement," Arizona transportation worker Zach Moralez said. "We started asking her a bunch of questions: 'How long have you been here? Do you have any pain?'"

"She was in the fetal position, and there was no movement. We started asking her a bunch of questions: 'How long have you been here? Do you have any pain?'"
- Zach Moralez, Arizona transportation worker

Moralez, his rancher brother Dave Moralez and a co-worker were corraling a cow on the highway when they saw a damaged fence, a mangled car and footprints leading from the vehicle, Reuters reported.

The wrecked car had dropped 50 feet and landed on a mesquite tree.

"We got down there as quick as we could, hollering out if anyone could hear us," Zach said Wednesday. "No response."

Though the group did not find anyone at first, they didn't give up and found the woman with the help of an Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper.

"I don't know if she could have made it there another night," Dave said, according to Reuters, citing a local source.

Despite being somewhat lethargic and in pain, she was alert enough to open her eyes and answer questions. Moralez said she was dirty from sleeping on the ground and had facial trauma - likely from the crash.

She was airlifted to a hospital about 15 minutes later, ending her six-day ordeal in a rural area.

The woman told the trooper she stayed inside the vehicle after the Oct. 12 crash for several days before climbing out, Fox 10 Phoenix reported. The accident happened when she lost control of her vehicle on a rain-slicked road near Wickenburg, Ariz., about 65 miles north of Phoenix, according to Reuters.

She walked toward the area's railroad tracks hoping to be found, but didn't make it due to her condition, the report said.

DPS Director Col. Frank Milstead commended the transportation workers and the rancher.

"Due to their outstanding efforts, this woman's life was saved," he said in a statement.

Zach said it's a good feeling to know that he helped make the difference between life and death for someone.

"I believe people are put in the right place in the right time," he said.

The creator of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" said in a Twitter video that he served in World War II to "defeat fascism."

"I've lived through the Great Depression. I served in World War II in our fight to defeat fascism. I've seen the invention of television and performed on television even before my family owned one," he said.

The screenwriter, actor and director went on to say he has seen a lot of things in his life but said he could not "bear to see" is the United States be "destroyed by racism, fear-mongering and lies."
