Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A father involved in a bitter custody battle over his 13-month-old daughter was found dead in his car yesterday, with the body of the little girl by his side. Unemployed salesman Eric Gleeson, 39, had failed to return daughter Alicia to her mother in Carleton, near Fleetwood, Lancashire, after collecting her for an outing on Sunday.
A passer-by found the pair at dawn in a lay-by on the A6 at Garstang, with a hosepipe leading from the exhaust. Both had died from carbon monoxide poisoning, said police. Mr Gleeson, who was said to have been depressed, had telephoned the girl's mother, Celeste Melville, on Sunday afternoon and told her she would not see her daughter again.
