Tuesday, August 5th. The search intensifies for a missing 12-year-old girl in Minneapolis — and the urgency is high because she’s a type 1 diabetic. Then, a Wisconsin-born climate journalist disappears while hiking alone in Norway. We hear from one of his colleagues as a massive search effort continues. Plus, new criticism of Capitol security after the deadly attacks on lawmakers in June, and members of Congress debate ag policy at Farmfest.
Also in this episode: A Minnesota father appears in court after allegedly murdering his 16-year-old son, the U.S. Coast Guard releases its final report on the fatal Titan submersible implosion, and Hennepin County weighs a public takeover of HCMC. Plus, another possible healthcare strike in Stillwater, National Night Out for veterans in St. Paul, and a Danish zoo sparks controversy by asking for pet donations — to feed to predators.
