If you've been following the sad story of Lana Leigh Bailey, the 18-month-old baby who went missing in Kansas last week, the news you least wanted to hear is in. Cops have found a baby's body, and they think it's the missing Kansas girl. Considering police had already charged 27-year-old Kyle Flack with killing Lana as well as her mother and two other adults, it was only a matter of time.

The discovery means the case can move forward in court.

Just a few days ago, Priscilla Rodriguez, mother of 8-year-old Leila Fowler who was stabbed to death in her home on April 27, told CBS that not knowing who murdered her daughter was making things much harder to handle. Now, after a 2000-hour police investigation in Valley Spring, Calif., authorities have arrested a suspect -- Leila's 12-year-old brother was taken into custody on May 11.

A tragedy is unfolding in New Jersey as reportedly a man is holding at least two children hostage. The tense hostage situation has been going on since last night when a man killed his 42-year-old girlfriend, Carmen Kelly, and one of her children. Carmen Kelly is the mother of five, and there are believed to be at least two children still being held hostage in the house, though possibly there could be more.

Remember the quote from Shrek about ogres and onions? Both have layers that make them complex. And so it is with Charles Francis Gaskins, the white supremacist sentenced this week to life in prison for murdering a child molester.

On the outside layer -- the most superficial there is -- the story sounds almost like a celebration. Neil Hayes was a bad, bad man, and we have one less child molester on the streets! It's tempting to say that this man did a public service!

But did he? Did he really? Let's move on to the second layer.

The case of 8-year-old Leila Fowler, who was stabbed to death in her Valley Springs, California home, keeps getting stranger and stranger. Leila was found last Saturday, stabbed to death in her room after her 12-year-old brother said he saw a tall man with long gray hair running from the scene. Originally, a neighbor confirmed the account and claimed to have also seen the man, but now that female neighbor has recanted her story and police believe that the person is an unreliable witness. Police say when they tried to get her to contribute to a sketch, she wouldn't give them any information.

Jodi Arias' defense team made closing arguments on Friday and her lawyer, Kirk Nurmi, stressed circumstances that weighed in favor of Jodi killing her lover, Travis Alexander, in self-defense, not out of a premeditated "covert" operation to kill him out of rage and jealousy. Travis was found shot in the face, stabbed 27 times, and his throat was slit. The prosecution contends that Jodi drove from California to Arizona with the express purpose of killing him. Jodi contends that she killed him in self-defense after he attacked her for dropping his camera.

The victims from the Boston Marathon bombings have been laid to rest. But what about the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev? His parents and widow have refused to claim his body. And now, Massachusetts cemeteries are refusing Tsarnaev's body as well.

Since he was killed on April 19, Tsarnaev's body has remained at the Boston morgue. Peter Stephan, owner of Graham Putney and Mahoney Funeral Parlor, finally agreed to make arrangements for the body -- despite the jeers of protesters. "They can protest, but what do you do? In this country, we bury the dead," he said. But Stephan hasn't been able to find Tsarnaev a final resting spot, and Islamic law prohibits cremation.

A 35-year-old grandmother (yes, a 35-year-old grandmother) has been arrested in Yuma, Arizona after her grandson, 3, fatally shot himself with her loaded gun. It's unclear how it happened, exactly -- was she trying to wrangle the gun away from him when it went off? Or did he just pick it up and pull the trigger? -- but regardless, Rachel Spry is going to be held accountable for the death of this beautiful little boy.
