US Marshals rescue 200 missing children over six weeks
The U.S. Marshals Service rescued and located 200 missing or endangered children over a six-week period, the agency announced on Monday. "Operation We Will Find You 2" focused on several hot spot cities such as Phoenix, Arizona, and Miami, Florida, where there were kids missing, it said. "Whenever a child is missing, whether we cannot explain how they went missing, whether we think it was a family abduction, or whether it's a runaway, they are at risk of being in danger and at risk of being trafficked, at risk of being hurt, we need to take it very, very seriously," U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald Davis told reporters on Monday. The Marshals worked with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) to help find and locate the children it was tasked with finding.
Where is the stock market headed in the 2nd half of 2024?
The stock market defied expectations with a strong performance over the first half of 2024. But the success poses a key question for investors: Is there room for stocks to go even higher? The S&P 500 climbed nearly 15% over the first six months of the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed about 4% over that period, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq soared roughly 18%. Analysts who spoke to ABC News attributed the strong gains to enthusiasm about artificial intelligence as well as resilient economic growth and expectations that interest rates would ease. But, experts predicted, the stock market will likely struggle to sustain its breakneck growth over the remainder of the year as investors turn away from increasingly high prices and weather uncertainty centered on the economic outlook and the November election.

Judge declares mistrial in Karen Read murder case after jury says it's still undecided
The judge in the Karen Read murder trial has declared a mistrial after the jury said it was unable to reach a unanimous consensus on the fifth day of deliberations Monday. Read was charged with killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, in January 2022. Prosecutors allege she hit O'Keefe with her car and left him to die in the middle of a snowstorm after the two got into an argument earlier in the day. Read has strenuously denied the allegations, and her lawyers alleged that a fellow police officer was involved in O'Keefe's death and colluded with others in a cover-up. She had pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating a motor vehicle under the influence and leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

A helmet-mounted indoor visualization and navigation device that allows first responders to see through dark smoke could soon be available to fire departments around the country, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The Department's Science and Technology Directorate is opening applications for fire departments around the country to apply for the technology developed by an Austin, Texas, startup Qwake Technologies.

Hunter Biden on Monday sued Fox News and its parent company over their production of a fictional miniseries that attorneys for the president's son called "an effort to harass, annoy, alarm, and humiliate him, and tarnish his reputation." The miniseries, called "The Trial of Hunter Biden," is described by Fox as a mock trial that seeks to show "how a possible Hunter Biden trial might look," and includes several sexually graphic images of Hunter Biden. In their suit, filed Monday in New York state court, attorneys for Hunter Biden accuse the network of "politically motivated attacks against the President and his family" and the "unlawful commercial exploitation of Mr. Biden's image, name, and likeness."
