A Long Island Mystery - When Suffolk County police were searching for 23-year-old Shannan Gilbert in 2010, authorities made a startling discovery near Gilgo Beach. They UNCOVERED the remains of four young women wrapped in burlap bags. Over the next year, they'd find the remains of 11 people in all, including Gilbert. Now five years later, police still don't know who's responsible. We bring you a look at the case with an in-depth investigation from Newsday, and discuss the details with reporter Tania Lopez. Plus, an exclusive interview with Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy Sini, who is now leading the investigation.
Brooklyn's Lost WWII Memorial - For Memorial Day, in honor of the men and women who gave their lives serving our country in the armed forces, we follow Toba Potosky, president of the Cadman Park Conservancy, on his mission to re-open and restore the Brooklyn World War II memorial erected by New York City Parks Commissioner Robert Moses in 1951. Celebrating America's Bravest: Why Sgt. Mills is As 'Tough As They Come' - On his third and voluntary deployment to Afghanistan, Army Staff Sgt. Travis Mills suffered an unimaginable loss: all four of his limbs. He discusses his new book, Tough as They Come, how he continues to overcome life's challenges and physical barriers, and why he became an advocate for veterans and amputees.
