The wisecracks are as ingrained in New Jersey lore as Bruce Springsteen's songs about fast cars. Former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa has attended every event at Giants Stadium since 1976, the story goes, buried in a final resting place somewhere under the west end zone. As former New York Giants punter Sean Landeta once joked, "It gives a whole new meaning to kicking into the coffin corner." More than 20 years after a self-described mob hit man set the rumor mill in motion with an interview in Playboy magazine, the question lingers: Is the answer to one of the enduring...

LIVINGSTON, Tenn. — Four days a week Todd Matthews earns $11.50 an hour working for an automotive parts supplier. He punches in at 4:15 a.m., punches out nearly 11 hours later, then drives half a mile to his little beige house on a hill where, in the distance, he can glimpse the Appalachian mountains. He spends the next seven to eight hours at his desk, beneath shelves lined with miniature plastic skulls, immersed in a very different world. Their faces seem to float from his computer — morgue photographs, artist sketches, forensic reconstructions — thousands of dead eyes staring from...

Associated Press - 11:53 AM ET CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Osama bin Laden is accusing the pope of helping in a "new crusade" against Islam. In his latest audio message, bin Laden says Pope Benedict played a "large, lengthy role" in an effort against Islam that included cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that were published in Europe.

And the pope raised widespread anger in 2006 with a speech in which he cited a medieval...

SAN FRANCISCO -- From the moment the girl's body was found stuffed in a duffel bag nearly four years ago, her image haunted detective Scott Dudek - her feminine pajama pants, the single ankle sock decorated with snowflakes, the butterfly clip in her hair. Yet so much was missing - she had no identification, and no one had filed a missing person report. "We had this beautiful child, and no one was coming forth to claim her," Dudek said. "But you knew instantaneously this was someone's little girl." The FBI's crime database lists about 6,000 unidentified victims nationally. Some of...
