The son of a 57-year-old Northern California woman who has been missing since late last month told reporters during a press conference this week he's confused by his mother's mysterious disappearance - and desperate for her safe return. People has learned that investigators believe Elvira Babb was kidnapped sometime around June 30, when her son received a text message demanding $60,000 in cash for her safe return. John Babb said during Tuesday's press conference that he initially thought the text seeking the ransom money was a joke.

The Princess Bride is one of those childhood classics that, no matter how many times you see it, you notice something new almost every viewing.
