Your daily glance at the headlines in South Florida:
  • The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office closed a 25-year-old cold case yesterday with the help of DNA evidence that linked a Fort Myers man to the 1984 murder of Vickie Lynne Long in Jupiter. The suspect, Todd Clayton Campbell, was 22 and lived on the same street as the Longs when the 28-year-old single mother was raped and beaten to death in a wooded area in the neighborhood.

[Sun-Sentinel]
  • The Fort Lauderdale Commission is joining the popular trend for red light cameras, agreeing to their installation at ten of the city's most dangerous intersections. [Sun-Sentinel]
