Missing Illinois woman believed alive with California friend
Anu Solanki, 24, vanished on Christmas Eve prompting a costly four day search. Cell records show she left the Chicago area voluntarily with Karan C. Jani, 23, and authorities say they are together but have not located them. A Honda Civic was found in a forest preserve and the search cost about $250,000. Her husband did not know of the friendship and had suggested she might be placing a Ganesh statue in the Des Plaines River.

Fisk University seeks cash from Georgia O Keeffe art collection
Fisk University in Nashville faces financial peril despite owning a 101 piece art collection donated by Georgia O Keeffe. A protracted 2 year legal dispute blocks a $30 million deal with an Arkansas museum and may delay any proceeds for years. The school, with 900 students, has mortgaged buildings and drained endowment while Mellon grants offer relief. A prior 2005 vote to sell two signature works underscored ongoing financial strain.
