Police have found a missing girl with help from community page on Facebook called Prayers for Brittany Mae Smith.

Brittany, age 12, had been considered missing since December 6 but was found unharmed today in Roanoke County, Virginia, where she is from, according to CBS News.
Police have an arrest warrant for Brittany’s alleged abductor, Jeffrey Scott Easley. He is also suspected in the murder of Brittany’s mother, who he used to date. She was found dead on December 6 and that’s when police reported the girl as missing.
The Prayers for Brittany Mae Smith page contains a copy of the police alert concerning the child and her mother’s boyfriend, but as of this writing has yet to be updated to reflect the fact that she was found unharmed.
The Facebook page, a website called FindBrittany.com redirecting to the Roanoke County, Virginia police department, and an 800 number have helped law enforcement officials collect over 700 tips on the case.
In addition to supplying tips to local law enfrorcement, Brittany’s subsite on Facebook has amassed a following: 435 people have clicked “like” since the page when up on Wednesday.
The page includes updates on the search for her along with numerous written prayers and links to religious content, much of it followed by comments along the lines of “amen.”
If you happen to know anything relevant to this case, we hope you click on Brittany’s page and let her loved ones know. Even if you don’t, this one’s worth “liking” and subscribing to.
Why do you suppose that Facebook might give law enforcement officers only partial access to a missing minor’s profile? How do you feel about the use of pages to help search for an abducted child?

On Thursday a jury convicted Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's longtime lawyer/boyfriend, of consipring to help Smith obtain illegal substances by fraud and giving a false name for a prescription.

Smith's psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, was also found guilty on conspiracy charges and, according to the Associated Press, "convicted on two separate counts of unlawfully prescibing and obtaining Vicodin through fraud and use of a false name."

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who provided Smith with painkillers including Vicodin, was acquitted of charges that he had prescribed excessive drugs to an addict.

"This is not just a victory for me, but for patients everywhere who suffer chronic pain," said Kapoor outside the courthouse.

Stern was acquitted of seven of the 11 charges originally lodged against him. Sentencing likely won't happen until January.

Fake rumors claiming Will Smith died in a car accident on November 22, 2009, are floating around the web the same day the false rumors of Ray J's death surfaced.
"Will Smith was driving his Porsche in the Hollywood Hills earlier today when he suddenly lost control and flipped his car," say the fake rumors.
The false report goes on to claim that "paramedics arrived on the scene within minutes but were unable to revive Mr. Smith.”
Well those false quotes can be summarily dismissed right away, because if Will Smith were ever -- heaven forbid -- involved in a car accident and paramedics were called, you can best believe the Associated Press or even TMZ or Routers or UPI would be all over it faster than the scammers trying to get searchers to click on their malware links with false titles like "Will Smith dead" to lure web surfers to their websites.
According to CNN.com, however, Will Smith is involved in great projects, like the one described in this video of singer Kenny Lattimore, who gave the news agency the details of a project called The ASHE Foundation that helps put shoes on needy children's feet.
"Thanks to actor Will Smith, the ASHE Foundation took its first shipment of shoes to Africa in January," reads the CNN transcript of the interview that preceded Kenny Lattimore's portion.

"Will Smith was in church one Sunday and he heard me begging for shoes and he said, "OK, I'll pay for 15 people -- 15 members of the congregation to go to Africa to deliver these shoes," said Dion Fearon founded a non-profit called the ASHE Foundation.
It's no surprise to hear of the actor's charitable contributions decided upon in a sanctuary. Jada Pinkett Smith, Will's wife, called her husband just a "straight up Christian" in a popular spread of the married couple in Essence (that needs to be fully scanned into Google Books like Ebony and such ASAP!) -- as opposed to Jada herself, who dabbles in other faiths .
Unlike Ray J, Will Smith does not have a readily apparent and verified Twitter.com nor Facebook.com account -- but these false rumors of Smith's early demise are thankfully, nonetheless, false.
