LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Good morning and happy Wednesday!

Here are some top stories from around our area for August 25, 2021.

Developments in the Crystal Rogers case

FBI agents spent all day searching a Bardstown neighborhood in connection with the disappearance of Crystal Rogers yesterday. Crews left the Woodlawn Springs subdivision late Tuesday and it’s unclear if they found any new information.

Rogers’ mother, Sherry Ballard, says she’s hopeful for closure after waiting for answers for the last six years. 

This was the newest development in the case since last July. It's unclear if investigators will continue the search Wednesday.

Last chance!

Today is the last day you can enter to win $1 million in the Kentucky Shot At A Million vaccine lottery. If you’ve received at least the first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or the one-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19, you can enter the drawing.

The winners will be chosen Thursday and announced on Friday.

After a cancelation in 2020 and a delay earlier this year, the Louisville Pride Festival has once again been canceled.
