Mother charged in bathtub deaths of two daughters in Cleveland
Amber Hill 22 faces two counts of aggravated murder after coroner ruled the deaths of her 4 and 2 year old daughters as homicides. Authorities say Hill, a past abuse victim, called ex husband Jamie Cintron who found the girls in the bathtub and pulled them from the water. Hill is held on death by own action watch. In separate items, a teen girl in Bartow, Alyssa Frank 15, was found safe after running away with a high risk sex offender met online. The suspect William Joe Mitchell 46 remains at large. A third item notes EPA analysis finding three Senate climate bills would similarly curb emissions if international action accompanies U.S. limits.
