When her grandmother's home was burglarized, 12-year-old detective, Jessica Maple, used her highly developed sleuthing skills to crack the case wide open. 'Early Show' anchors Chris Wragge and Eric Hill chronicle this young crime fighter's detective work. "When I went to my grandmother's house, I went to the garage and I saw there was broken glass on the garage window and there were fingerprints everywhere," Maple recounts as a photo of the house appears. The burglars had taken off with most of her grandmother's furniture. "I thought to myself, since this is a bad economy, people are going to want money instead of keeping the furniture. And I know that pawn shops, they give you money for... selling stuff to them," Maple explains. After a trip to the nearest pawn shop, Maple and her mother found nearly all of the missing furniture, got the sellers' addresses, and handed the evidence over to the police.
