This undated evidence photo released Monday, May 20, 2013, by the West Valley City Police Department shows the family minivan Josh Powell says he used to take his sons on a camping trip the night Susan Powell disappeared. Citing a lack of leads, a police agency said Monday that it is closing the active investigation of the disappearance of Susan Powell, a Utah mother whose now-dead husband was a prime suspect. West Valley City police called the news conference to offer new details in the case that's been largely kept under wraps since Powell vanished in 2009. The announcement came after police spent two days searching in rural Oregon last week for any trace of Powell's body. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)

Ap Top NewsThe pope and the devil: Is Francis an exorcist?In this image made from video provided by APTN, Pope Francis lays his hands on the head of a young man on Sunday, May 19, 2013, after celebrating Mass in St. Peter’s Square. The young man heaved deeply a half-dozen times, convulsed and shook, and then slumped in his wheelchair as Francis prayed over him. The television station of the Italian bishops’ conference said it had surveyed exorcists, who agreed Francis either performed an exorcism or a prayer to free the man from the devil. The Vatican was more cautious Tuesday, saying Francis “didn’t intend to perform any exorcism. But as he often does for the sick or suffering, he simply intended to pray for someone.” (AP Photo/APTN)
