(NewsNation Now) It’s been almost five years since Minnie Shackleford was found dead on her own bathroom floor in Decatur, Alabama. Not just dead, but murdered.
She was just 44 years old.
Jerry Rankin, Minnie Shackleford’s son, and Giselle Crosby, Minnie’s daughter, join “Banfield” to discuss the case.
On Feb. 4, 1974, a 19-year-old college student was in her apartment in Berkley, California, when a group of armed men and women stormed in, beat her fiance and kidnapped her.
The abduction made headlines across the world, not only because of the shocking nature of the crime but because of who the crime victim was: Patty Hearst, the granddaughter of publishing giant William Randolph Hearst.
Ashleigh looks into the case and the evidence that is still being debated today.
Instead of a snowman, an artist brought a knee-high cube of gold to Central Park on Wednesday.
The 410-pound Castello CUBE had its own security detail. Artist Niclas Castello made it out of 24-karat gold. The cube, which took more than 4,500 hours of work to create, is reportedly worth $11.7 million.
Ashleigh breaks down what it would cost to buy the Central Park patch of grass on which that cube lies.
