Channel 2 gets inside the mummified babies story *

KCBS had a good story at 11 p.m. tonight showing the valises, 1930s newspapers and silk wrappings that contained those two mummified newborns found in a Westlake-area apartment last year. The coroner's investigators talked on camera and there were photos of Janet Barrie, the nurse who authorities believe kept the remains. But the story is not on the CBS 2 website that I can find, though admittedly all local station websites owned by TV networks are among the least navigable of news sites.

Also: Channel 2 reporter Serene Branson was back on the street with a story on the local reaction to the killings of that SoCal couple hijacked by pirates near Somalia.

* Posted Wednesday: Channel 2 put up the story at 1:29 p.m.
