Almost twenty five years after a five-year-old Etan Patz went missing in New York City, a man named Pedro Hernandez abruptly confessed to doing the crime.

He claimed he lured Patz into his store while Patz was waiting for the school bus, and then suffocated him before dumping his body in a large trash bag.

Hernandez is due in court today and even though he was the one who came forward and admitted the crime, he is expected to plead

QUITE a day for bigamy cases!

Poor Reese Witherspoon.

While her baby bump is healthy as can be - her parents' bizarre legal case is getting weirder and weirder.

A Nashville judge has ordered the Sweet Home Alabama star's father to be put under investigation. John Witherspoon is accused of bigamy and possibly dementia.

Betty Witherspoon is accusing her husband of getting married to another woman even though her and John are technically still married although they have not lived with each other since 1996.

Here's what she said:

"My husband's spending practices have accelerated. I now understand that he may have borrowed $400,000 at Bank of America and either forged my name or had his girlfriend posing as his wife sign."

Wow!!!

DRAMA.

We hope Reese is able to concentrate on herself when the time comes, and not let her parents hateful relationship ruin what should be a magical time of her life - you know, with the baby and all.

Keep on truckin', gurl!

What a relief for her!

Courtney Wagner, the daughter of Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner, can rest easy and know she will not be charged for possession of heroin and cocaine.

The cops who initially searched her home forgot that they needed a search warrant to go into a private home, and thus their initial findings of cocaine and heroin in Wagner's home has been wiped off the record.

We still hope that that is a wake up call for Wagner and she will get herself the help she desperate needs if she is still using those awful drugs.

However, she is a free woman and will not be going to jail.

Silly cops.

Mistakes are for kids!

What a traumatic story. This really hit us hard.

Just days after a judge ruled against Josh Powell of Graham, Washington, in a child custody case against the parents of his missing wife Suan Powell, he and his two sons were killed when he intentionally blew up his house with all three of them inside.

A social worker brought his two young sons to his home for a supervised visit when Powell grabbed the children and dragged them inside and blocked the social worker from entering the home.

As she was walking back to her car, she called her supervisors to report the incident and also to tell them she could smell gas coming from the home.

Moments later, the house exploded.

Powell sent an email to his lawyer just a few minutes before the explosion that said:

"I'm sorry, goodbye."

Powell had been under investigation in the 2009 disappearance of his 28-year-old wife Susan. Powell was also ordered to undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation after it was discovered that his father Steven had been arrested on child porn and voyeurism charges last fall.

This is just such a bizarre and unbelievably tragic story. We can't even imagine what this family is going through right now.
