Shanda Vander Ark is guilty of the 2022 murder of her 15-year-old son Timothy Ferguson, the jury determined in about an hour of deliberation on Dec. 15. Vander Ark was convicted of open murder and first-degree child abuse.
That's where she learned she was sentenced to life in prison without a chance of parole, plus 150 years on top of that: www.wzzm13.com/article/news/investigations/shanda-…
It's been 60 years since WZZM-TV signed onto the airwaves for the first time in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The original studio of the station was located in downtown Grand Rapids in what is now a ballroom in the Amway Grand Hotel. About 9 years later, the station moved its operation to where we are now in Walker.
13 ON YOUR SIDE thanks West Michigan for its continued viewership and support as we celebrate 60 years!
A crew was doing drain work in Kent County when they made a historic discovery — mastodon bones that are at least 11,000 years old.
