I stand corrected. Lancaster County Virginia is very close to Newport News.

This is a very interesting case that is certain to receive a more attention as the new evidence in the Colonial Parkway case unfolds. Lancaster Pa seems a long way from Newport News Va. and the murder of Mary Harding seems a lot different from the Parkway cases but her body was disposed of by...

As far as I can tell, the type of gun used to kill Kathy Netherland has not been disclosed. The type of gun used to kill Tommy Ballard has not been officially disclosed but Law enforcement has in their procession a “rife that is of the same caliber” as the one used to kill Tommy. They believe...

There are lots of different types of gangs. I am not aware of any that murdered random citizens as an initiation. If there is any precedent for that sort of thing by any type gang that operate in Kentucky, I might reconsider, but otherwise I would dismiss it outright. We do not have the full...

This case appears to be one of the many old sexually motivated murder cases solved by DNA but this case appears to be a little different and some questions are raised. From all that I can tell, there was no semen, blood or other biological material that DNA, for forensic purposes, is usually...

The more I learn about this case, the more I am coming to accept that this was not the work of a trained or highly skilled assassin. It was probably the work of an ordinary man without any particular skill set or access to specialized equipment. The shell casing was found on the ground near...

After watching the Netflix Documentary, it occurs to me that it was either a very well orchestrated professional “hit” or it was the impulsive act of a random “nut case” who just got really lucky. If you have the money and wherewithal to hire pros who can pull this off and get away with it...

I am not aware of how Law Enforcement would know about a credit card unless a family member provided the information or they otherwise had access to her mail. In this particular case, the investigation was complicated by the fact that until the body was found almost a year later. Philadelphia...

This case has always been a mystery within a mystery to me. It would seem extremely unlikely that the identification was wrong and equally unlikely that she arrived at the place her body was found any other way than by her own volition. I have to assume it was a plan she concocted to take off...

Regarding #1 above, he has been identified by name and there has been extensive online coverage about him and all the reasons he must be guilty. There are photos of him that do bear a striking resemblance to the composite and he does have family ties to the remote area where the body was found...

There was a documentary on this; possibly Netflix. The problem with the investigation is that they have never been able to place anyone with a motive, which would presumably mean a political opponent of Palme, anywhere near the crime scene. They have also never linked anyone with possible...

Something that has always bothered me about this case is the report that Wone asked for and then drank a glass of water soon after arriving at the townhouse. This has always struck me as very odd but context is everything and I have never read a full account of the interview. If the roommates...

I have moved back and forth between Redding and California’s Central Coast. In San Luis Obispo there was the case of Kristen Smart which was very similar. A young girl vanished and a very sketchy guy with a strange story was the last person known to be with her. No charges were filed because...

There is a lot of evidence in the bathroom that was not consistent with suicide but not really evidence of murder either. The fact the gun was uncocked is either highly suspicious or something easily explained; “experts” seem to disagree. The gunshot residue results don’t make a lot of sense...

A list of all of the serial numbers of the bills was given to bank tellers in the Seattle Metro area. Realistically, I can not believe many took the trouble to verify the number of every(or any for that matter) of $20 bills that crossed their counters. No lists were distributed elsewhere. In...
