Mary Ann Verdecchia's disappearance rocked the Pittsburgh area in 1962.
One of the oldest and most memorable missing person cases in southwestern Pennsylvania is that of Mary Ann Verdecchia, who disappeared from Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood on June 7, 1962.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what's an animal horn worth? The answer: $200 if you're interested. Paintings, sculptures and other artistic works of seemingly all types were on display at various locations in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood during a monthly Art Crawl on Friday night. Baldwin Borough native Katie Moran, who grew up on Jenne Drive but now lives in the Allentown neighborhood of the city, is an active artist around town, so much so that the 2001 Baldwin High School graduate had three of her works accepted for display at The Irma Freeman Center for Imagination, near the city's Bloomfield border, on Friday.
