Lisa Bryant. Bryant, a Princeton graduate, was found shot to death at a base hotel. Graves pleads innocent, faces the death penalty. In Tennessee, rangers search for 10-year-old Philip Roman in the Great Smoky Mountains with infrared helicopter sensors after footprints were found west of his last sighting near Clingmans Dome. In Virginia Beach, Rep. Owen Pickett urges FERC to speed review of Lake Gaston water pipeline, citing decades of delays and court challenges. North Carolina officials warn withdrawal could hurt coastal ecosystems and regional development.
