Missouri miracle

Stories of missing children usually don't end well. But one from Missouri this week ended very well- twice as well, in fact.

A tip about a pickup that matched the description of one used in a kidnapping just days ago led police to a St. Louis suburb apartment where they discovered the 13-year-old, Ben Ownby. But they also found someone they did not expect to find- 15-year-old Shawn Hornbeck who has been missing for four long years.

Michael Devlin, 41, has been arrested and charged with kidnapping. We can only imagine what else he will likely be charged with.

Hornbeck's mother and stepfather have been advocates for missing children ever since his disappearance and both were relieved at a news conference Saturday that their son was OK.

We are too. Sometimes, tragic stories do end well.
