Their daughter, a Virginia Tech student, had disappeared five years earlier at the same time of year, around the same time of night and in the same place -- Charlottesville, Virginia. But even as speculation surged that the two cases could be connected, the Harringtons were still waiting for answers. Until now. Prosecutors revealed Tuesday that a grand jury has indicted Jesse Matthew Jr. -- the same suspect who's charged with capital murder in the Graham case -- in Harrington's death, too. The grand jury charged Matthew with first-degree murder and abduction with the intent to defile in the case of Harrington, a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student who went missing in October 2009.

The Commonwealth Attorney in Charlottesville, in a filing seeking a court order, said he wants to drop the misdemeanor case against Martese Johnson, who was arrested in the March 18 incident that made headlines across the country.

He pulled back the stroller's cover and saw that his son, Leo, 3, was conscious but bleeding from the left side of his head. Woolfenden checked Leo for other injuries and thought, "Let's get out of here." That was before he noticed his Achilles tendon, which resembled transparent tape covered in blood, and his left tibia protruding from his boot. The boot was next to his left stump, he testified before a federal jury Thursday, the third day in which survivors and family members of those killed in the Boston Marathon bombing shared their stories -- often gruesome and heartbreaking -- in the sentencing phase for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
