Congratulations and have a happy life. The beauty of this story has always been somewhat damaged for me by the knowledge that the paramedic who slid down the parallel well to rescue her committed suicide with a shotgun eight years later. Many have tried to claim it was the post-traumatic stress from the rescue, but I have trouble believing that. A good rescue is the affirmation we get that what we're doing in the emergency services is worth it.
MIDLAND, Texas - A former Midland police officer who helped in the 1987 rescue of "Baby Jessica McClure" was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in federal prison on charges of sexual exploitation of a child and improper storage of explosives.
William Andrew Glasscock Jr., 52, pleaded guilty to the charges in February, admitting he used a hidden camera to film a 12-year-old girl undressing and getting in and out of the shower last summer at his home.
He also admitted he stored 400 pounds of high explosives, 1,700 blasting caps, a detonator cord, an artillery shell, two pipe bombs and four homemade hand grenades at his Midland County home.
