I don’t believe so. He must be appealing on other grounds.

Thanks for posting - I keep checking in, hoping for some resolution to this case - I am sure everything is delayed because of Covid. Looking forward to covering this on my podcast about forensic genealogy case solves. RIP Barbie.

As Legally Bland posted above, the trial court decision was affirmed at the appeals court level. That exhausts his appeals EXCEPT: he can appeal based on a constitutional rights violation - for example, a tainted jury etc. The only thing I'm worried about is possibly an ineffective assistance...

Then poor family - that's a long time to continue to wait. I'm dying to know what evidence the state has in addition to all that was presented in the preliminary hearing - I'm hoping they didn't show their whole hand at that time, and they've been able to use the time since to do more digging.

Well he pretty quickly moved to Texas. The question is, where was he the night of the fire? Surely a man who had been until very recently living with the family and who was in the midst of a divorce from Gaylin would be suspect #1. I find it very odd that literally not a single article about...

This from the court documents: settles the 1-floor vs. two-floor question: "That at all times relevant and material to this cause of action, ROSE leased a two-bedroom, two-story apartment in the 100 block of East Columbia Street, commonly known as 103 E. Columbia Street, Flora, Indiana...

Found it! Thanks!!

This is my EXACT problem. I am trying to write up this case and the police and some articles say that the K's and Gaylin lived in the downstairs apartment... but then other articles say that Gaylin was downstairs and the girl were upstairs (which makes a lot more sense in why they couldn't get...

Right, Carter definitely sounds as though he is insinuating that the mom is stonewalling, and that there were people in her life/the girls were exposed to in the home who have not been named.

Hi - Any chance you can recall where you've read this? I've researched this case a ton and haven't seen this anywhere. TIA

Oh this is perfect, thank you for posting!

Hi - anyone know what's going on with Fleming's appeal? He is appealing, and appeals briefs should have been filed by now, but looks like nothing much going on for quite a few months.

Totally agree in the zero expectation of privacy. And I hope you're right about the vast majority of citizens being ok with this. Maybe it's just a very vocal tiny minority that isn't. I'll be covering the Deborah Dalzell case in FL, where the conviction really seems to have just been based...

Hi all - have you noted all the cases being solved by forensic genealogy? Having trouble distinguishing them, or wondering about the back story behind the connection between the victim and her killer? Wonder no more. My podcast covers cases solved using forensic genealogy, and considers the back...

I have to have faith that the evidence against FG as laid out in the preliminary hearing and the arrest warrant will be enough ... and they have probably amassed more evidence against him (hope). The ruling that the attack on the jogger is inadmissible really chafes me, though ... I’m a lawyer...

Thanks! Jodi’s case is so, so frustrating. Part of me is sure it’s one of the usual suspects (JVS, Tony what’s-his-name) and part of me fears it was an obsessed stranger who won’t be found since there’s no body and no DNA (I don’t think). What do you think??

We talked about the family's main suspect, her ex-boyfriend, and his odd and somewhat suspicious behavior. Denlinger laid out for me exactly how the attack on Michelle went down. We spoke about the day he interviewed and then arrested Burns, and how all that came about. And we spoke about...

For me, the clincher on the boyfriend (as if there isn't enough that makes him look suspicious!) is that when he returned her things to her family, he included her jewelry that according to her sister, she "always wore." If I am pissed at my spouse and stalk off in a huff, as Roxanne supposedly...

This is an important legal ruling, that the suspect's rights were not violated by surreptitious gathering of his DNA. Bodes well for all the forensic genealogy convictions. Bid to Toss DNA Evidence in Phoenix Canal Killings Rejected

Well the phone not pinging after the 2:57 text is interesting, because it implies that someone shut it off. So in your scenario, Ali would have been the one to do that, presumably so her mom could not find her - did she have an iPhone and was find my iphone a thing in 2010? No idea. OR...
