A lot of people, including some of the detectives who worked on the case, do not believe Steve Crawford acted alone in the killing of Arlis Perry. Yesterday, someone asked an odd question about Steve Crawford's brother, Bill Crawford, who served as a police officer in Mountain View, Calif., for...

The dog that murdered the baby was a spayed female pit bull the owners adopted from an animal shelter.

In small towns and rural areas in the US, children did, and still do, play outside after dark. I grew up in the 50s and it wasn't at all unusual for us to play outside until suppertime and then go out again after supper. Children were much more savvy and comfortable in the outdoors than they are...

Ted Bundy lived three miles from Ann Marie Burr's home and didn't know her at all. The Burrs weren't on his paper route and his uncle did not live in their neighborhood. On the night the child disappeared, it wasn't just "raining," it was storming and raining so hard people driving cars had to...

She was abducted the night of August 31 (not August 13), 1961, i.e., on Thursday night just before Labor Day weekend.

Some of this information is incorrect. First, there was more than just “rainy weather” that night; there was a terrible storm and the rain was torrential. Second, Ted Bundy lived three miles from the Burr house, not just blocks away. Third, while Ted was, indeed, a paperboy at the...

There are a lot of "hunting accidents" around Bardstown. In September 2009, a man named Derek Downs was squirrel-hunting when he was accidentally shot by Michael Unseld. Last June -- almost 7 years later -- someone went to Unseld's apartment, shot him dead and the shooter has never been...
