    GUILTY TX - Alanna Gallagher, 6, Saginaw, 1 July 2013 - #14

    I think he looks like a middle aged woman in the mugshot.

    Re: the earlier discussion about lead. In my area there is routine blood testing lead. All kids get tested. I only knew or heard of one child to test (mildly) positive. His family were members of a beach club with a manmade beach. The sand was trucked in from parts unknown and apparently...

    GUILTY IA - Kraigen Grooms for child sexual abuse, Ottumwa, 2013

    It looks like when ICE posted this to their twitter feed they posted the pic itself to twitter, not a link to the information sheet. I think the photo is out there forever - if they take the info down on the ICE site, the pictures are still on twitter connected to all the retweets. (but maybe...

    GUILTY IA - Kraigen Grooms for child sexual abuse, Ottumwa, 2013

    It definitely looks like a child was cropped out but I don't think we can know what that means. It's possible this guy is just someone who may have information - in other cases where they have asked for the public's help they have put out the screen shots of the adult and said that the person...

    You use a website like this one: http://www.tineye.com I've tried it before but I've never been successful so I don't know if I'm doing it right. It will only hit on an exact match of a photo. So it won't make a match unless the image is exactly the same - it doesn't recognize...

    I agree. The urgency with which ICE is promoting this (front page of their website) leads me to think there's a child in a dangerous situation and they are trying to identify him/her. I think the young man is not the person at risk but someone who can identify the child.

    I noticed that too. On one of the ICE info sheets, they call him "John Doe". That was the only reference to sex that I saw.

    I learned about reverse image search from watching the MTV show Catfish. That's one of their go to websleuthing moves. Those photos look like screen shots that investigators extracted from a web chat or Skype.

    GUILTY IA - Kraigen Grooms for child sexual abuse, Ottumwa, 2013

    http://www.ice.gov/cyber-crimes/ I'm not sure what the mandate of ICE/HLS is in terms of investigating domestic crime, but they have a child exploitation investigations unit and a cyber crimes unit.

    OH OH - "The Red Shoe Mystery" - Lola Celli, 24, Grandview Heights, Feb 1946

    The 1940 census data is online now and might be useful for this case. You can see exactly who was living in the neighborhood, around the bus stop etc in 1940. I tried to make some headway on this last night but it's very time consuming and I didn't get too far. I did find Lola's family's...

    Mwm78 mentioned on alannas board that he looks like he could have european spanish features... If he's European he could be middle/upper middle class and not have had braces. They're not as into perfect teeth as we are in north america.

    He's very recognizable - especially the smile. I bet they'll get calls right away.

    I agree. Probably has or will have a diagnosis of major mental illness but the crime seems driven more by personality factors (poor impulse control, lack of empathy, obsessive thinking). If he mounts a defense to this, I can see an attorney trying to find evidence of a past traumatic brain...

    Initially, a lot of what I've read about TH and his behavior made me think of a schizophrenia diagnosis (pacing, weight gain, flat affect, self medicating, friendless). But the crime against allanna and the sex obsession don't fit. Medications for schizophrenia and the illness itself interfere...

    Post your PROFILE

    CPH was not truthful about the call but people don't always correctly remember what they hear, especially when they're upset or taken off guard. As CPH is talking, Mari is saying in her head "Who is this guy?" "What is he talking about?" - she's taken off guard. In my work, people...

    Post your PROFILE

    I've come to this case as a result of reading Lost Girls. There's an Oak Beach resident who many suspect of being the LISK (not sure if I can post initials/name). But this person has had a long term marriage. It seems like this would be unusual in that serial killers don't seem to be able to...
