LeftInTX's JournalLittle Afghan refugee child has been abducted
Speaking to KENS 5's Henry Ramos through a translator Tuesday evening, Riaz Sardar Khil thanked searchers for their ongoing efforts in looking for Lina Sardar Khil, whose disappearance led to the issuing of an AMBER Alert Monday night.
"During our entire lives we have not been as saddened as we were yesterday and today," Khil said through his translator before getting emotional.
Khil said Lina's mother was watching her on the playground of their northwest-San Antonio complex when the little girl made her way to a nearby path and suddenly disappeared. Her mother thought she may have returned to their apartment unit, but when she didn't find her there either a search ensued.

"There were other children and adults at the playground area at the time of the disappearance."
Before everyone blames rednecks and Qanon, this was at an apartment complex where many immigrants and refugees live. The apartments are mostly low income. It is an immigrant/refugee community. As a matter of fact, just last week someone told me about the resettlement office and these apartment communities. It's over near Ali Baba, numerous Middle East and Indian restaurants and grocery stores and the UTHSC. The little girl was playing outside and her mother, who is pregnant went inside. When she came out, her little girl was gone. (My guess is it is someone who lives in the apartment complex)
Human remains found 40 years ago identified as member of The O'Jays R&B band
(CNN)Partial human remains found in a garbage bag nearly 40 years ago have been identified as belonging to Frank "Frankie" Little Jr, a member of the R&B band The O'Jays, according to police.
The Twinsburg Police Department in Ohio announced the news on Tuesday, saying DNA from relatives was used to help identify the remains found on February 18, 1982. Police said that not much is known about Little's disappearance and death.
Little was raised in Cleveland, according to the news release. In the mid-'60s, he was a guitarist and songwriter for The O'Jays. The band released a statement to CNN saying that he was part of the band in the early days and that they haven't heard from him since.
"He came with us when we first ventured out of Cleveland and traveled to Los Angeles, but he also was in love with a woman in Cleveland that he missed so much that he soon returned back to Cleveland after a short amount of time," reads the statement.

A better article:
TWINSBURG, Ohio Human remains discovered in Twinsburg in 1982 have now been identified as those of Frank Frankie Little, Jr., who was a guitarist and songwriter for the R&B band The OJays, as a result of genealogical research from the DNA Doe Project.
Little was born in Cleveland in 1943 and raised here. In the mid-1960s, he was a guitarist and songwriter for The OJays. He also served in the U.S. Army for two years, including a deployment to Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
Frankie was a member of the band in the 1960s, Hendershott said. He played guitar with the band in the studio and on tours.
Little was last known to reside in Cleveland, and it is believed he was last alive in the mid-1970s. Not much is known about his disappearance or death.

What I learned:
The O'Jays formed way back in 1958
Little was with the group in the early 60's
The group went to California.
Little didn't went to be in California and went home to be with his GF (The band probably lost touch with him shortly after)
Little went to Vietnam
He was last seen in the late 70s
His body was dumped what appears to be a rural area.
You wonder what he did with himself from the time he left the O'Jays until the time he disappeared? You wonder what happened with his girlfriend? Was he drafted? What was life like for him after Vietnam?
Everyone has a story. He had a brush with fame, which draws our interest, but everyone has a story.
Whoever killed him, knew him. We wonder what happened to meet such as gruesome end.
So many questions about a life cut tragically short...

Texas loses ranking as top grapefruit producer due to brutal cold snap back in February
Texas loses ranking as top grapefruit producer due to brutal cold snap back in February
Nine months following the historic February Freeze across Texas, the state's grapefruit industry is still reaping the detrimental impacts from the frigid weather.
The winter outbreak that had swept into the subtropical southeastern portion of the state on Valentine's Day ushered in icy conditions and extreme cold temperatures that damaged two different crops of grapefruit across the region. This season's crop of grapefruit, which had only been blooming at the time of the winter outbreak, is expected to provide less than a third of an average harvest.
Texas had been the number one provider of fresh grapefruit in the nation ahead of the outbreak, but the damage done to the groves has since dropped them down to third in the nation, Dale Murden, the president of Texas Citrus Mutual, a trade group that represents the interests of the state's citrus growers, told AccuWeather's National Reporter Bill Wadell.
Murden had also spoken with AccuWeather via email back during February. Also a grower, he had mentioned that when temperatures dip below 28 degrees and stay below that mark for five hours or longer, the fruit on the branches begins to freeze on the inside, damaging the crop. "Most everyone" saw temperatures drop to at least 21 degrees, he had added

This news is a month old, but it explains why I couldn't find my wonderful Texas grapefruit at the grocery store today. I miss my 5 pound bags of Texas Sweet Scarletts
