Good news on missing MO boys

The press conferences have been covered by Fox news: not only has 13-year-old Ben Ownby been returned to his family after his disappearance just over four days ago, but the police also returned Shawn Hornbeck to his family, after he'd been gone four years!

There aren't many details made available about the boys' ordeals, but they do seem to be very happy to be back with their parents again, and their folks are justifiably teary-eyed.

I'm always pleased to see happy endings to stories of missing kids -- those seem so rare, by comparison to the miserable news of losses.

And I hope some very unpleasant things happen, for a very long time, and under lock and key, to the man who abducted these two boys.
