FILE - This undated drawing made available by the Library of Congress shows the U.S. Mail ship S.S. Central America, which sank after sailing into a hurricane in September 1857 in one of the worst maritime disasters in American history; 425 people were killed and thousands of pounds of gold sank with it to the bottom of the ocean. The U.S. Marshals Service captured former fugitive Tommy Thompson at a Hilton hotel in West Boca Raton on Tuesday Jan. 27, 2015. Thompson had been on the lam for two years, accused of cheating investors out of their share of $50 million in gold bars and coins he had recovered from a 19th century shipwreck.

Amanda Sapir picks up flags left at a memorial outside Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Tucson office on Friday, Feb. 4, 2011 in Tucson, Ariz. Volunteers dismantled a massive tribute Friday outside the Tucson hospital where U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and other victims of a mass shooting were treated. The volunteers removed thousands of candles, cards, photos, stuffed animals and flowers that blanketed the 60 foot-by-100 foot lawn in front of University Medical Center, where doctors performed life-saving surgery on the Arizona congresswoman, who is now in a rehabilitation facility in Houston. The items filled up 60 boxes, which will be stored in a locked area at the hospital until a permanent memorial can be built, hospital spokeswoman Darci Slaten said.
