Kit Colburn Search Cost: $33,000, and Rising

The two-day search for a 10-year-old runaway in Warner Robins totaled about $33,000 so far.

13WMAZ contacted the more than 20 agencies that helped in the search for Kit Colburn to tally the cost.

The total does include the cost of more than 600 hours of overtime owed to Warner Robins police officers for their efforts.

We requested that figure more than three days ago from the City of Warner Robins through an open-records request. Out of more than 20 agencies, the City of Warner Robins was the only one that could not provide an answer within three days' time.

We will update you on their costs when they make them available.

Houston County Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director Jimmy Williams says they spent about $4,600 in personnel and equipment costs.

Cut Out the Junk - Mail, That Is

Cut Out the Junk - Mail, That Is

Who would like to get less junk mail in your mailbox? Me, me!! Here are a few ways you can reduce the number of unsolicited credit card offers, catalogs, yellow pages and random of other flotsam that arrives in your mail box daily.

But first a little reminder, that if you have donated to a group or purchased a product from a company, legally they can still send you mail until you specifically tell them not to.  The following options will help with the unsolicited selling and sharing of your name.

Another quick tip is to setup junk email account (think Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo) for doing requests like this just in case your email falls into the hands of a spammer.
