Search for missing mom, 33, and her ex-boyfriend 'after he returns home with children from vacation and tells relatives he strangled her'

Police are searching for a missing mother and her ex-boyfriend after the man told his brother he strangled her while they vacationed with her children.

Lynn Jackenheimer, 33, from Ashland, Ohio, was last seen a week ago on Hatteras Island in North Carolina with her two children and former boyfriend Nathan Summerfield.

They are no longer a couple but have a three-year-old son together, who was on the vacation.


Summerfield, 27, returned to Ohio on Sunday to drop off Jackenheimer's 13-year-old daughter and the young boy to their grandparents' homes before fleeing in his car.

Chevrolet to let buyers return cars after two months

By Toby Talbot, AP

It's not exactly a money-back guarantee, but it's pretty darned close: General Motors said today that it will allow Chevrolet buyers to return their vehicles up for up to one to two months after making the purchase.

GM announced this morning that participating U.S. dealerships will allow consumers to return 2012 or 2013 model-year vehicles with several conditions attached as part of the "Chevy Confidence" program.

Among the stipulations: Chevys must be "bought during the program" and have fewer than 4,000 miles on the odometer with "no damage," GM said in a news release. The vehicles can be returned within 30 to 60 days after they were sold, GM said.

Alligator bites off teen's arm in Florida

MOORE HAVEN, Fla. (AP) – An alligator at least 10 feet long lunged at a teenager swimming in a river and bit off the teen's right arm below the elbow, state wildlife officials said Tuesday.

Kaleb Langdale, 17, survived the encounter Monday in the Caloosahatchee River west of Lake Okeechobee. Wildlife officers who caught and killed the alligator retrieved the arm, but doctors were unable to reattach it.

"We found the alligator that was responsible," Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said. "We were able to kill the alligator and dissect the alligator, remove the arm and transport the arm to the hospital to see if the doctors could reattach the limb."

The alligator was 10 or 11 feet long, Pino said.

Million-year-old water found under Maryland

Some of the water under Maryland is older than a million years, the first such ancient groundwater found along the Atlantic Coast, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.

The oldest water was found in the deepest parts of the upper Patapsco aquifer, with shallower groundwater tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years old, according to a new study by the USGS, the Maryland Geological Survey and the Maryland Department of the Environment. The aquifer provides freshwater for the region east of Washington and Baltimore.

Iran just can't stop pumping oil

Sanctions may have cut Iran's oil exports by a million barrels a day. Yet the country is still producing oil at full tilt and storing the excess on tankers, as cutting back is complicated and potentially harmful.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Despite sanctions that have crippled Iran's oil exports, the country continues to pump at nearly pre-sanction levels.

And since the oil rich nation is struggling to sell its oil, it has begun funneling the excess crude to storage locations on land and sea.

Pa. mayor cuts city workers' pay to minimum wage

The fiscal and political crisis in nearly-broke northeastern Pennsylvania city of Scranton was expected to deepen Tuesday as public employee unions said they would seek to hold the mayor in contempt of court after he defied a judge and slashed workers' pay to minimum wage.

The attorney for three unions, including firefighters and police, said he expected to proceed on several legal fronts Tuesday, including a motion to hold Mayor Chris Doherty in contempt and a separate federal lawsuit alleging violations of labor law.

Doherty last week ignored a court order and cut the pay of about 400 city workers to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. He said it was all the cash-strapped city of more than 76,000 could afford, and he promised to restore full pay once finances are stabilized.

"It's incredible," the unions' attorney, Thomas Jennings, said Tuesday. "I've never had a public official just say, 'I'm not going to obey a court order. I'm not even going to try. He can't tell me what to do.'"
