Gretchen Harrington, eight, was abducted by a family friend during a Bible camp in 1975, police say.

    Surely there’s a better way to write that title.

      Agreed. Had to click in to understand. Maybe that’s part of the point of bad titles. Anyway, here’s the subtitle which makes more sense:

      A retired US church pastor who presided nearly half a century ago at the funeral of a kidnapped eight-year-old girl has been charged with her murder.

        Malaysian here. If UK news isn’t world news then something horrible must have happened last night.

      Sidebar says “News from around the world” not “News impacting the world”. If you don’t like it, down vote it and move on; or better yet, start a new community that you see fit. This is Lemmy after all, and anyone can create a community/an instance to shape the fediverse to their hearts’ content.

      Not if you’re USian. But apparently ‘politics’ only exists for USians. Confusing, I know. Probably best not to worry about it. If you’re not interested, just scroll on by.
