The Mystery of the wreck of the Lady Mary
The Lady Mary left the Port of Cape May on the morning of March 18, 2009 on a routine scallop fishing trip. The vessel with it's crew of seven traveled 66 miles to the restricted scallop fishing area known as the Elephant Trunk. Some time between 5:10 and 5:40 a.m. on March 24, the boat sank and six of the seven crewman were killed. Jose Arias was asleep below deck when the accident occurred, managed to put his survival suit on, and was rescued. He has no idea what sent the Lady Mary 211 feet to the bottom of the ocean. Was it swamped in rough seas? Or did a passing container ship strike the boat without ever knowing it? After months of reporting the Star-Ledger has tried to uncover the mystery of the wreck of the Lady Mary. (Video by Andre Malok / The Star-Ledger)

The Littlest Victims: Violence and Innocence
It was a gun that would put Hutchins in prison. It would be another gun that would change his life and bring him closer to his 4-year old son, Quadir. Of the nearly 400 people that were shot in Newark last year, two were younger than 5 years old. Quadir Hutchins was one of those children.

The Pot Predicament
A Star-Ledger special report on medical marijuana's future in N.J.
This January, New Jersey became the 14th state to pass a medical marijuana law, allowing the use of cannabis to treat certain medical conditions. The Legislature set July as the deadline to launch the program, but Gov. Chris Christie has asked for a six to 12 month delay to plan for the growth and distribution of marijuana. With so little information about how New Jersey’s program will work, The Star-Ledger visited two states with very different cannabis laws -- New Mexico, which the New Jersey Legislature looks to as a model of a responsible medical marijuana program, and Colorado, which has lax laws and is seen by some as a state that has lost control.
