About one in five children sleep walk, most kids are just found wandering at home…but this 10 year old somehow let herself out of the house, and disappeared. Her frantic family went public with her disappearance…and one concerned citizen knew just what do to do help. And there's a good chance you'll be spending time in the kitchen this long Thanksgiving weekend....so it’s the perfect time for a reminder that fires are more likely to start there than any other room in the home. Alison Hall has some tips to keep you safe. Plus, today is what's known as Black Friday - a big day for shopping. However, this year, you may have to leave some extra time for store employees to unlock what you need. Thanks to shoplifters, pricy stuff is being kept locked up at many stores. And if you're shopping for baby items you may be shocked to find some cash hidden inside the packaging. Turns out a group of moms has been quietly leaving money and gift cards where new parents might find them - tucked away in products like formula and diapers. With families spending as much as $800 a month to care for a newborn it can be really helpful this holiday season.

It's been 28 years since Lyle and Erik Menendez were in court - but today the brothers spoke directly to a judge from prison as they continue their efforts to be released. There was so much interest in the spectator seats inside the courtroom, a lottery was held to pick who could go inside. And President-elect Trump's already set a record for creating a cabinet filled with people more known for their television appearances than their policy achievements. And there may be one more. Former wrestling star Hulk Hogan says 'he' might also have a role. Plus, once upon a time, the conflict over the Thanksgiving dinner was who got the white meat. Now plenty of folks are wondering how to negotiate the political divide. And heartbreak for the family of a young woman who'd gone missing earlier this month. She'd last been seen about to change planes at LAX. Now her father, who'd gone to Los Angeles to search on his own -- has been found dead.

He's still not saying where he is, but there may be some clues in the proof of life video he recently shot. And warning to players from the NFL and NBA. Watch what you post on social media, lock up your valuables, and upgrade your alarm systems. This, after a series of robberies of pro-athletes by what's believed to be a South American criminal gang. Among the victims, Travis Kelce. And detectives say they've just recovered his stolen watch. Plus, you've got to hand it to the fans and players at last night's Browns/Steelers game. A surprise snowstorm hit mid game, making it hard to see and leaving everyone with the feeling they were trapped in a snow globe. And one week from today is Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which is traditionally one of the busiest shopping days of the year. But with Thanksgiving so late in the month, the big sales are starting early. They're calling it "black-vember".

Interest in the Menendez brothers continues, thanks to the hit Netflix series. And there's a new twist… Does married Lyle Menendez have a girlfriend? And, earlier this week we aired our exclusive interview with Jay Leno who was walking to a restaurant when he says he fell and was badly bruised. Instead of going to the hospital - he went for lunch - chicken parm to be exact. We spoke with the Manager of the restaurant. Plus, the mounting questions about Matt Gaetz alledged sexual misconduct - including accusations he had sex with a minor - today formally took its toll. Gaetz officially withdrew his name from consideration as attorney general. It was clear the former Florida congressman could 'not' get the votes needed for confirmation. Gaetz denies any wrongdoing. And the Country Music Awards were handed out last night and the moment that still has people talking is Carrie Underwood's surprise performance.

He set fire to a house that he thought belonged to the trooper who pulled him over. Turns out it was the trooper's father's house.
