Solving that case calls for finding her cousin, Briana's illegitimate son, Travis, who is in danger from the killers of his wealthy-despite-illiterate father, Arthur, who, years earlier, was a suspect in the murder of his much-older, rich wife, whose relatives, the DeMonts, would have motive to kill the lot of them.

Ernesta Griciunaite and Sandra Liegute had met only briefly before they boarded a plane in Lithuania in September 2005. By the time they landed at Dulles Airport 15 hours later, each was the other's closest friend. The Lithuanian exchange students, both 6 feet 3 and experienced club basketball players, had arrived in the United States to study and play ball for two years at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, a small Catholic school in Essex. Not knowing anyone here, they were thankful to have each other - not just on the plane but whenever they felt homesick during the early months of their visit.

A year ago, Brianas was a junior at the Naval Academy, working toward his economics degree, playing the sport he had loved since childhood, squeezing games of Nintendo in between his studies and lacrosse practice, planning the next night out with the high school sweetheart he intended to marry. "Trying to get better at lacrosse was my biggest worry," Brianas said. "You're playing, you're with your friends, you feel invincible, like you're on top of the world."

Briana CaBell didn't need a physician to tell her she had to do something about her diet. An admitted carb-fats-salt junkie who's been overweight as long as she can remember, CaBell has known for years that she needed to mend her food ways, to stop thinking of salty, deep-fried onion rings as a vegetable staple and, especially, curb her fast-food intake. The 30-year-old single Laurel resident said the time constraints of working two jobs, plus sharing a small catering business with her mother, squeezing in college courses and maintaining a schedule of church activities keep her on the run from before dawn to late in the evening.
