LAS VEGAS -- This Thursday marks four years since the disappearance of Everlyse Cabrera. The two-year-old went missing from her North Las Vegas foster home.
Though a legal battle over her loss has yet to be resolved in its entirety, one piece of it promises to impact the lives of other at risk kids.
This year, a scholarship in Everlyse's memory will soon be announced to benefit other foster kids.
Everlyse disappeared June 10, 2006. According to her foster parents, Everlyse used a stool to unlock the front door and disappear into the night.
A lawsuit brought by Everlyse's biological parents against her foster parents, Manny and Vhee Carrascall, and against Clark County, resulted in a $300,000 settlement, the bulk of which is still in dispute.
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. - North Las Vegas Police are looking for leads regarding the location of a convenience store robber, whom they believe could become increasingly violent.
His crime was caught on surveillance tape. The video shows the suspect brandishing his weapon and threatening the life of a convenience store clerk. 'He's very aggressive with the gun,' said North Las Vegas Police Sgt. Tim Bedwell. 'We're very concerned about the potential for more violence.'
Bedwell says his department's robbery detectives want to get this robber behind bars before he takes his crime to the next level. 'Our concern is the people who are doing these armed robberies tend to get more violent each time,' Bedwell said. 'There's a chance that, in this case, we may see the same kind of thing we saw in March, where we had a robbery of a 7-11, and the same person came back a week later and murdered the clerk.'

LAS VEGAS -- Police are creating car accidents at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. No one has been hurt. It's all part of a crash conference being held Monday.
The conference helps police departments analyze speed, driver attention and other factors that lead to accidents and looks at ways to prevent them.
There have been cars crashing into each other and motorcycles crash into cars, all to help law enforcement learn how to investigate crashes. That analysis can be the difference between guilty and innocent.
'On the criminal side, you want to make sure if you're ascertaining somebody for a misdemeanor or felony prosecution that you've dialed in who's at fault correctly, as well as if someone was going too fast or too slow,' said Officer Jim Byrne with the North Las Vegas Police.
