Hello, I'm Creshon Saunders at the CNN. com newsroom in Atlanta. Here is a look at what is happening NOW IN THE NEWS.


A massive search is on for a six year old boy. Cole Puffinburger was kidnapped Wednesday from his Las Vegas home. His grandfather's being held for questioning as a person of interest in the case. Now police say Clemons Tinnemeyer was involved in significant drug dealing 1 worth millions of dollars. They believe the boy was kidnapped by Mexican drug dealers 2 trying to recover lost money and property. Now the missing boy's aunt spoke 3 about him: "Just really hard to have one of our babies out there with strangers. Coz he is a very very good boy, he is very shy. Please just bring him home safe,so he is Okay. "


All right, just 17 days to go before the huge election. Here’s what the presidential candidates are up to today. John McCain is in North Carolina and Virginia. His running mate Sarah Palin is in Landcaster Pennsylvania. She is expected to be on Saturday night live, tonight. Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden are in Missouri.


One of the famous faces of the current financial crisis will have to talk to grand jurors. A source tells CNN former Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld has been subpoenaed 4 in connection with 3 grand jury investigations 5. They are looking into the bankruptcy 6 filing for the investment bank. It is the largest bankruptcy filing in US history. Earlier this month Fuld blamed the failure on government inaction and loss of confidence in markets.


The latest victim of the economy: Mervyns' Department Stores. Mervyn's has stores in seven states and it's closing every single one of them. The fifty nine year old company filed for bankruptcy back in July. Earlier in the week, Linens 7 'n Things announced it was closing all its stores.


That scene is exciting. Hundreds of thrill seekers converged 8 on Fayetteville, West Virginia earlier today to plunge 9 nearly 900 feet into a river. The drop takes less than 10 seconds, but the excitement is endless. Once jumpers reach the water, they flow down the river and get off at the water's edge. The jump off the New River Gorge 10 Bridge is part of the West Virginia's largest one day festival. Looks like fun.


Those are the headlines at this hour. For more on these stories and other news of the day, CNN is your source on line on TV, even when you are on the go.
