Is it just me or are "missing person reports" on the rise here in the Capital Region? Let's hope this trend doesn't continue. Months ago it was Shaker teacher Meghan Marohn, more recently Schenectady teen Samantha Humphrey, and now this - a man from Rensselaer County who police say has been missing for weeks - his car left abandoned on the side of the road...

You don't see or hear about this very often - normally our big NY Lottery winners from the Capital Region buy their tickets from Stewart's, or Cumberland Farms, not a tiny little convenience store on Lark Street in Albany.

It sold on October 17th for $1.2 million. Check out Cole's former sprawling estate. It has 6 bedrooms, 4 and a half bathrooms, a three-and-a-half car heated garage, and sits on 4.6 acres.
