Nun Hit, Killed by Hit and Run Driver

An anti-crime group held a vigil this morning, for the Philadelphia nun who was killed by a hit and run driver.

Sister Paul Mercedes was on her way to early morning mass when she was struck at that intersection Monday. The nun had been on leave from teaching so she could tend for her ailing parents.

Cat owner turns to DNA to implicate dog

A cat owner, frustrated that officials couldn't prove a neighbor's dog had killed her pet, took a cue from television legal dramas and used DNA evidence to pursue the case herself.

A lab that analyzed the DNA concluded that the dog was linked to the cat's death, but officials said they still can't make a case because there were no witnesses.

Man Chained in Kennel

A 75-year-old Polish man was chained up by his wife in a dog kennel because she was fed up with him coming home drunk.

Zdzislawa Bukarowicza was chained up by his wife Helena and fed on dog food and water because she was sick of him spending all their money on vodka.

He survived almost three weeks living on an old blanket in the dog kennel and being fed from the dog bowl despite temperatures of minus 20 degrees at his home in Scinawa.

He was eventually freed when friends, who had not seen him at their local for several days, called the police.
