LETHBRIDGE, ALTA. - Police in Lethbridge say alderwoman Dar Heatherington, who disappeared over the weekend, has been found alive and well in Las Vegas.

OK, usually when someone goes missing, and her car, purse, and keys are found in a parking lot, it does not bode well for a happy outcome to the case. Now a lot of people are going to want to know how the hell she ended up in Las Vegas after vanishing in Great Falls, Montana, but for the nonce the main thing is that she is alive and apparently in good health. I don't know that I've ever been at either end of the emotional scale that her family in Lethbridge must have experienced over the last few days.
