Fairfax County

The disappearance of 5-year-old Melissa Brannen from a Christmas party in 1989 horrified the Washington, D.C., area and set off a search for her that came up empty. A groundskeeper at her Fairfax County, Virginia, apartment complex was later convicted of abducting Melissa and served nearly 30 years in prison. For many, that was the end of the case.

The head of a Maryland chapter of a prominent Pakistani political party has been accused of threatening to "slaughter" a man and his family in their Virginia home, according to Fairfax County, Virginia, police and a search warrant.

The mission of the center in Fairfax County is to "employ and support" people with disabilities, but a prosecutor said a worker sexually assaulted a 29-year-old woman with Down syndrome in its offices.

The 83-year-old retired World Bank economist was watching television in his Fairfax County, Virginia, home around 1 a.m. on March 11, 2016, when someone shot and killed him from outside a living room window and slipped away.

Everett Johnson said his former neighbor's face grew stern when he asked how she was doing during a chance encounter around the start of October in Fairfax County, Virginia. The mother from Saudi Arabia offered a surprising reply.

In one attack, a masked man with a gun held four women hostage in their Reston apartment, forcing them to perform sex acts on him as he filmed them with a camcorder, a prosecutor said.

Maria Reyes snapped her eyes shut as monitors in the Fairfax County courtroom lit up. Not only had the MS-13 attackers taken her daughter's life, they also had filmed her final, agonizing minutes.

As caterer Tyonne Johns cleared off party tables of plates and cups, making her way over to folding chairs, a dispute began at the park venue.

Mohamed Khweis never stood out in any particular way. The Alexandria, Virginia, man graduated from Fairfax County's Edison High School, earned a degree from Northern Virginia Community College and worked as a teller at an area bank.
