The girl reportedly was found in Washington County.
A suspect in the kidnapping of a 2-year-old girl from Preston County, WV, was taken into custody by police on Friday in a parking lot outside of Italian Village Pizza in Baldwin Borough, not far from the Route 51 cloverleaf. The suspect was caught by a Pleasant Hills Borough police officer after police pursued his vehicle on Route 51 North. According to Baldwin police Chief Michael Scott, police units from Baldwin, Pleasant Hills and West Mifflin Borough were able to box the suspect in the parking lot.

Ritter was the fourth young woman killed in seven months in Washington County in 1976-77.
The rape and strangulation death of Brenda Lee Ritter, 18, of North Strabane Township on May 18 or 19, 1977, is a case that still haunts police. Ritter's death occurred as the fourth in a series of slayings of young women in Washington County. The murders of Deborah Capriola, Mary Irene Gency and Susan Rush left county residents on edge. The death of Barbara Lewis in Penn Hills within the same time frame left investigators wondering if Ritter's strangulation death was at the hands of the same killer. According to a Sept. 28, 2003, story in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Ritter left her boyfriend's home in Chartiers Township at about 10:10 p.m. on May 18, 1977, during a raging thunderstorm. The boyfriend, Larry Bonazza, and his mother made …

Tell us why you voted—or chose not to—in the primary election that included candidates for U.S. president and legislators, and key state offices.
What was it that kept voters from the polls Tuesday? The number of registered voters who came out to cast their ballots yesterday hovered at around 20 percent for both Allegheny and Washington counties. The dry and typically spring weather can't be blamed for the light voter turnout. So was it apathy? Being disenfranchised with the slate of candidates? Convinced it wasn't worth effort since Romney and Obama were 'going to win' the party nomination anyhow? Not worried about federal and state legislative offices? Unhappy with the tone of politics? In Allegheny County, which has 888,686 registered voters, a mere 19.34 percent turned out to cast their ballots, according to the county's Division of Elections website. Of those 171,916 voters, 37…
