SANDY SPRINGS, Ga -- A Lawrenceville family is charged with embezzling more than two million dollars from a dental practice in Sandy Springs. Police said the mother was an employee of the practice, and she paid her husband and daughter a salary even though they didn't work there.

Rosemary Dsouza was the business manager at Dental TLC on Hilderbrand Drive in Sandy Springs. She worked for the thriving practice for 18 years. She was recently fired after being arrested along with her husband and daughter.

Dr. Roger Abbott, who runs the dental practice, said Dental TLC is known for its close knit staff. "We have 35 people here," he said. "We call ourselves "The Tribe" and it's just that we discovered we had a traitor in our midst."

Pricey puppy stolen from Petland Dunwoody

Submitted by Devin Fehely, 11Alive Reporter
Wednesday, May 29th, 2013, 1:54am

The owner of Petland Dunwoody is asking the public for help tracking down an expensive puppy that was stolen from the store over the weekend.

Owner Hunt McDannald says someone walked out of the crowded store Saturday with a 10-month-old Maltese Shi-Tzu mix. The puppy retails for $1350.

The store has filed a report with Dunwoody Police. They're currently pouring over hours of security camera video, hoping to pinpoint who took the puppy and when.

It's not the first time Petland Dunwoody has been targeted. Last year, someone asked to see a dog and then bolted out the front door. The store was able to eventually that dog and hopes to find this puppy as well.

8-foot-long alligator seen in Chattahoochee River

Submitted by Michael H. King, Digital Executive Producer

ATLANTA -- An eight-foot long alligator has been spotted several times recently in the Chattahoochee River.

Yes, you read that right.

According to National Park Service officials at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, the gator has been spotted several times over the past six years. They said it has apparently found a comfortable spot in the swampy area near Cochran Shoals Park, not far from Interstate 285 and Interstate North Parkway.

They said they think the alligator is the same as the six-foot gator that was seen in the area in 2007. The alligator seen most recently is estimated at about eight feet in length.

Curiously, alligators are not known to be able to withstand the winters in north Georgia, and as such, are not ordinarily found this far north. Apparently, officials said, the gator has found an area where it can burrow and hide during the winter months.
