After recovering from her third heart transplant operation in as many decades, a detention officer is back to the beat. As a child, Jenn Green, 49, of Wyoming, was a hero as a child after thousands of people chipped in to make her the state's youngest ever heart transplant recipient. The teen from Gillette was days from death when she went under the knife as a 13-year-old in what was then a pioneering procedure that needed the state's governor to intervene. Doctors expected her to live another 15 years, but after the 'best, fastest recovery I've had,' she's now 36 years later.

However, dive team leader Jason Souhrada stuck a cheap sonar to a four-foot boogie board after realizing that no one had ever checked Jack's Creek, a mostly inaccessible pond on their route home. 'I was inspired by YouTubers who had viewed multiple times in that area but couldn't find them,' Souhrada told Fox News. 'I noticed what seemed to be an upside-down car, but wasn't positive because this was my first time finding anything.'

If we can't do this, the family's never going to get answers. We carry this burden.'

Since being mysteriously vanished twelve years ago, the son of a missing Florida woman has reported that the remains discovered in a pond near Disney World are his mother's. Tim Lemire, Jr.'s mother Sandra Lemire, 47, was last seen in May 2012 after she had gone on a date with a man she had never seen online. The man was not declared a perpetrator in her abduction, but the probe was eventually dismissed. Divers from the Volunteer-Based Sunshine State Sonar discovered the missing woman's burgundy minivan in the murky waters of a pond at the Disney World exit on Interstate 4, finding her remains and some personal property in the back. Tim said he was still processing the life-changing news and expressed appreciation to the divers who helped him with the closure in the decades-old mystery. 'It's a lot of mixed emotions,' he said. 'I'm glad she wasn't murdered, abducted, or something like that because we've been doing this for years.'

In the aftermath of Adam Johnson's tragic death in a freak on-ice crash, Adam Johnson's former team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, make neck protection gear MANDATORY for its minor-league players

When asked if his team would follow suit, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said, "We're right now trying to tell our players about some of our safety products in those vulnerable areas." New ways for NHL players to shield themselves in situations that aren't always covered are ultimately what Sullivan hopes to see come out in the long run. That may be one of the positive things that may have arisen as a result of this horrific tragedy,' he explained.
