It's funny you should mention that. I figure skate, and I have two related scars. One from my forehead hitting the ice and causing a severe laceration, another from a collision with another skater where her blade went into my leg. Falling and hitting your chin on the ice is also incredibly...
I'm glad the Patz family has found peace and justice in this verdict. But I'm surprised that out of 18 jurors between two trials, 17 voted to convict. Maybe the evidence was more compelling in the courtroom, or I'm missing a piece of the puzzle, but I can't get past the possibility of a false...
Well, from what I recall, Matthew was only linked to crimes involving young women. His thing seemed to be raping and killing young women, so Hourihan doesn't fit that profile. But I hope the investigators looked into the possibility. He's now serving four life sentences with no possibility of...
If I worked in the Philly police department, I would take whatever amount of money I could get - even $500 would be a start - and take out a Facebook ad targeting all U.S. adults ages 63+ asking, did know this child? Did you possibly witness this crime? It could be tricky because Facebook may...
In one of the "Finding Tammy Jo" podcasts, it's mentioned that Tammy's mom's obituary listed Tammy as deceased, years before her body was identified. Does anyone know why she was listed that way? Her half-sister and I believe her cousin are both interviewed on the show saying they never once...
I've listened to the first three episodes of the podcast series, and I really like it so far. I've only previously listened to Serial, and I was worried I'd be spoiled by that, but Finding Tammy Jo is really well done. It's a good refresher on the facts in the case, and it's obvious the people...
I'm so sorry to hear about Detective Gates' passing. It's always sad for these victims when the original detectives assigned to their cases, who tended to have the most passion for them, IMO, can no longer do that work. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
I live in Charlottesville, about an hour south of where Nicole's car was found. I wanted to address a few common themes here...
The fire: Forest fires in the park or around this area aren't uncommon. I feel like I hear about one every few weeks in the warmer months. It has been pretty warm and...
I can't find it now, but I recall an article written before Jennifer's body was found that mentioned an aunt and uncle who planned to raise her if she was found alive. I would guess they were cooperative with investigators at the time, but I haven't seen anything recent mentioning them.
I just came across this case after reading this long article, which has lots of info from people who knew Quincy in middle school and about his mom's background...
Jason Callahan's sister (half-sister? Unsure) posted in the Jason Doe Facebook group a week or so ago that the family has still not heard anything, either.
I am worried maybe they discovered some problem with the DNA sample, and as a result, it's impossible/much harder to know for sure. Or does...
I am relatively new to this case. I listened to Serial this summer and have gotten through three episodes of Undisclosed, but I've read some articles about the other episodes.
To add on to the comments about Baltimore police not properly investigating this...one thing I have never heard...
Good grief. Why didn't they just get the sample from Jason's sister in the first place? I try to remind myself, as frustrating as this is, it is so much harder for his family. It is really not fair to them.

I don't know what employees you're referring to, but if they worked at a medical facility they were likely caught in a facility-run audit. I don't personally care about Ashley's rights to privacy under patient confidentiality laws, but health care workers are told time and time again...
New article: http://www.martinsvillebulletin.com/news/focus-shifts-on-short-case/article_53446710-4556-11e5-8dd2-c38b33b63d69.html
From the way the article is written, it sounds like they haven't gotten a new lead that sent them in this direction but wanted to try something different. I'm...
Some of these descriptions are so obviously wrong. She was 16, weighed 110 lbs and only 4'6? No way. Maybe someone mistyped and meant to say 5'6. Sad that these young girls are missing for so long and nobody even bothers to get basic facts right so people can look for them.
I was wondering the same thing. Does this indicate the toothpaste cap and used condom were actually in his pocket? Or maybe they were somehow stuck to him when the body was fished out, but other items, like toilet paper, weren't? Or they just didn't list TP because that was considered part of...
There are still things we don't know that could have (or maybe still could) sway this case -- like whose fingerprints were on the septic tank lid? Or had too many days passed to be able to determine who touched it that Sunday?
The sheriff's deputy testified he kicked the lid off and it went on...
This is heartbreaking. I think I gave his parents the benefit of the doubt for a long time because I couldn't fathom that one of them could intentionally put their live child in the septic tank. But now it's hard to come up with any other explanation.
If they put him in the tank, how does the...
