Local twins visit Oprah to tell tale
WICHITA - The 19-year-old Kansas twins told their own story of sexual abuse at the hands of their father and two brothers to a local newspaper in hopes of inspiring others to report such crimes.
The show is expected to air sometime next month.
The Hendersons have said they revealed their lives as sex abuse victims in a three-part series in The Wichita Eagle last month with the hope of inspiring others to report abuse.
Now, Kellie and Kathie Henderson will retell their story at a taping in Chicago with Oprah Winfrey and her 7 million viewers on her daytime television show.
State regulators say they have received several reports of sexual abuse because of the story series.
"While we haven't had a big influx of reports, I would say that
we had a few that specifically said when they reported suspected sexual abuse that they were reporting because of having read the article," said Jean Hogan, director of the Wichita regional office of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. "If even one child is protected as a result, it is positive."
The Eagle series described how the Henderson twins were sexually abused for about 10 years. At age 13 in March 2005, they confided in neighbors who called police. The sisters regard the neighbors and police who investigated as heroes who saved their lives. Kathie said she had contemplated suicide before their rescue.

CRIME
Catapulting drugs presents issues
HERMOSILLO, Mexico — Drug smugglers are using an ancient invention as a new way to move marijuana across the border from Mexico to Arizona.
The discovery of two "drug catapults" in the Mexican state of Sonora marks the latest twist in the cat-and-mouse game traffickers play with authorities.
U. S. National Guard troops operating a remote surveillance system at the Naco Border Patrol Station say they observed several people preparing a catapult and launching packages over the fence late last week.
The officer says the catapult was capable of launching 4.4 pounds of marijuana at a time. He says soldiers seized 35 pounds of pot, the vehicle and the catapult.
A Mexican army officer says the 3-yard (3-meter) tall catapult was found about 20 yards (20 meters) from the U.S. border on a flatbed towed by a sports utility vehicle.
The smugglers left before they could be captured. The surveillance video of them using the catapult was released Wednesday.

The latest prank has officials worried the sandbar could become a target for more mischief and they are warning such activity is illegal. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says anyone caught leaving items on the sandbar a few hundred yards from shore will be arrested.
A 16-year-old art student admitted that he put the piano on the sandbar in Biscayne Bay as part of an art project.
