Although most of us associate graduations with happy thoughts, in some cases they can produce opposite reactions for some people. This mentally-ill woman could have seen this next step in her daughter's life as a form of losing her daughter.

Likely, the only witness to BK's activity that night is BK himself. I suspect what the defense is trying to accomplish is to enter some type of evidence that BK was driving around minding his own business without putting BK on the stand. It doesn't seem to me that he has appropriate...

The US Constitution prohibits ex post facto laws on criminal cases. The Supreme Court over the years has made exceptions in specific cases, but, in general, you cannot retroactively create a crime or increase punishment. I found this wikipedia article interesting (scroll down to the United...

My thoughts are that the seeming silence from LE over the last few weeks signifies that LE doesn't need new tips from the public, and possibly has a good theory of what happened and are just waiting for something to happen or results to come in. If they were actually clueless, I suspect they...

After reviewing my previous post, I need to make a correction. Fentanyl dosing is in micrograms not nanograms. Sorry for any confusion. These are still very small amounts of chemical.

It sounds like one or two people were trying to make a getaway (from LE? rival gang?), and needed a getaway car and no witnesses. A red Ford fusion is not a particularly discrete car for a getaway and has probably been ditched in the everglades or a river.

Actually, potency has nothing to do with onset of action. It simply means that you need a lower dosage by weight to accomplish the same result. All opiates when taken intravenously, nasally or by inhalation have a very rapid onset (morphine has a slightly slower onset of action, but that is...

Although I suspect MS was killed (planned? negligent? accidental?), we know nothing about what happened between the end of the party and the disposal of her things and body the next morning. Suicide, IMHO, cannot be excluded. MS was not a typical tween/teen. She had been repeatedly violated...

Although most people's immediate response to a suicide or accidental death would be to call 911, IF SS's DNA material was present in a place it shouldn't be, that would be an reason to not call 911 and dispose of the body.

The images referenced by LE was phone related. There are a plethora of devices that can hold a phone and record. Theses are generally aimed at vloggers and influencers, although I suspect many people use these for video calls also. I recently saw a presentation of a device that can actually...

A couple of things bother me about this case. 1) She left home with a backpack but left it in her car. Possibly this was done to make her family think she would be gone awhile, giving herself more time before they came looking. 2) Why park at the courthouse when the only known sighting is a mile...

I don't think there are any legitimate grounds for a lawsuit (that doesn't mean one won't be filed, however). There is no evidence Washington State University knew, or should have known, that BK was homicidal. The reports we have are that he was kind of a weird dude, socially awkward, and had...

I'm not local, but have visited Orlando often. It doesn't seem like the kind of place where a person could live in the woods. I don't remember seeing lush forests in Central Florida. It is also a strangely specific note for a perp to fake on a victim's phone. It still seems possible that she was...

Very sorry to hear this. The end result does clear up a question I had about why the search started so early. Apparently LE knew very early on about the splashing in the pond.

There seems to be a unspoken assumption that the Petito/Schmidt lawyers were working on contingency. Do we know that? There also is an unspoken assumption that the Laudries are rich and could make a large payout. Do we actually know that? Did the Petito/Schmidt lawyers take the case for free...
