New York (AFP) - The rise of e-commerce and the logistical nightmare created by the Covid-19 pandemic have caused a surge in demand for warehouse space in the United States, and big investment funds have taken note.

For the families of the missing, the progress is agonizingly slow, and their anger, frustration and grief is palpable. ...
