Here are the top stories in Alpharetta-Milton today:

1. A missing man from Marietta was found dead in Roswell last week. 64-year-old Hussein Esmail was found in a small pond in east Roswell on Thanksgiving. His family had reported him missing on Nov. 13; there aren't any indications of foul play, but there will be an autopsy. He had been last seen by Roswell police on Nov 11, where he was evaulated with EMTS and let go. At the time, Esmail told the police he was familiar with the area and wanted to walk home. (Fox 5)
