Good morning, Feeders! We might be heading into a holiday weekend, but we’re not slowing down.

Tom MacDonald is off to Maple Shade, N.J., where a man has been arrested for the 1979 death of a young New York City boy. Etan Patz disappeared 33 years ago today.

Lizz Fiedler will take another look at the case of a Pennsbury student who stands to receive millions for the loss of her leg in a school bus accident. The award would be a precedent-setting case.
