• 10 Months Into His Daughter's Disappearance, Michael Richardson Is Still Searching

Olmstead was also hired by Bill Cosby when his son Ennis was murdered in 1997 and also worked on the JonBenet Ramsey case. "Since my daughter's disappearance I have exhausted my savings and reduced my method of living severely," confesses Richardson. According to US law, in the absence of children, the next of kin title falls to the persons in question: parents, father, then mother.

According to , Rev. Rul. 54-379 concludes that heirs at law, next of kin, or beneficiaries who are distributees of a person who dies intestate under state law have a material interest to receive the decedent's return information.

• Costlier Farewell for Indigents

In this slumping economy, North Jersey cemetery and funeral directors say more people are choosing cremation over more costly burials. But when an indigent dies, burial is the only alternative. Counties by law must pay to dispose of the bodies of people who have no next of kin to make funeral arrangements. They're also required by law to bury unclaimed bodies rather than choose a less expensive cremation -- despite lopsided costs and an increase in indigent cases.

• Miracle Is Needed to Keep Politicians Out of Life Decisions

AUSTIN, Texas -- I write about the Terry Schiavo case both as one who has personally confronted the "pull the plug" question on several levels in recent years and as a staggered observer of this festival of political hypocrisy, opportunism and the trashing of constitutional law, common sense and common decency. Look, the fundamental question in such cases is, "Who decides?" Preferably, the dying themselves, with a living will. In this case, evidence that Terry Schiavo did not want her life continued in its current pitiable state has been offered and accepted in several courts of law. Next, the next-of-kin, though in many cases someone else may be closer to the dying person, such as a longtime lover, and should be legally designated to make the decision through power of attorney.
