RELEASED: North Korea has freed Robert Park, the Korean-American missionary who on Dec. 25 intentionally entered the communist nation carrying a letter calling on dictator Kim Jong Il to free political prisoners and resign. Prior to his release, Park, 28, reportedly told North Korea's official news agency that he had been misled by Western propaganda and is now convinced that North Korea "respects the rights of all people and guarantees their freedom." Since returning to the United States on Feb. 6, Park has not discussed his 43-day ordeal and his family has requested privacy.

ISSUED: A Vermont judge has issued an arrest warrant for Virginia mother Lisa Miller after she failed to appear in court with her 7-year-old biological daughter Isabella last month.

Currently the arrest warrant only applies in Vermont.
