Their father walked free after he was found guilty of repeatedly raping and sodomizing a young girl. 49's Crime Tracker team is on the job to protect you and your family.

The City Council has started the process to demolish a historic landmark, but says anyone who wants to buy Sumner School must "show them the money." In weather, expect hot, hazy and humid for the next couple of days at least. In sports, find out who the first player of the 2008 KU basketball recruiting class is.
