    What is the most vexing true crime case in your life? What is the one case that you need to know how it ends?

    A case that I find intriguing is the disappearance of an Irish couple, Conor and Sheila Dwyer, in Co. Cork in 1991. Never found. It hits home with me because my parents are from Ireland, and I have a strange personal coincidence with this couple. (I hate vague posts like this, so if you really...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #28

    Can you provide a source for this and for where Harvey grew up, please? I also grew up in working class Flatbush in Brooklyn. I’d love ro know where they lived. I am just a few years younger than Donna. In those days, moving from Brooklyn to Queens was considered a step up the economic ladder.

    What is the most vexing true crime case in your life? What is the one case that you need to know how it ends?

    No, I disagree with it. I'm pretty sure he did it. But because he was acquitted, I consider it legally and technically "unsolved." I'm sorry he wasn't punished while he was still alive, but since he "unalived" himself, it looks like he was living in a personal hell the rest of his days.

    What is the most vexing true crime case in your life? What is the one case that you need to know how it ends?

    Yes, this one has kept me up at night, too. My two kids were college students in Massachusetts around the same time period as Maura, although not at the same college, so this one hit home with me. I have read the book and listened to the podcast. Very puzzling, and even eerie. No footprints...

    What is the most vexing true crime case in your life? What is the one case that you need to know how it ends?

    The murder of my doctor, Dr. Teresita Valera-Costello. She practiced in New York City. Her body was found stuffed in the trunk of her car in the Bronx in 1995. Two years later, her troubled son James would be tried for her murder. He was acquitted. I met James when he was a little boy at his...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #28

    Yep. The Adelsons probably thought Tally was a hillbilly backwater filled with poorly educated hicks. Maybe they thought the trial would be like in the movie "My Cousin Vinny." (That's actually one of my faves.) Boy, were they ever wrong. Although it took a while, TPD and the prosecution...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #28

    According to Stephen Epstein’s book, “Extreme Punishment”, Chapter 9: “DAN FINALLY MADE CONTACT with Wendi on September 11—the day after he returned from New York—persuading her that he’d file kidnapping charges unless she let him see the kids immediately. She relented. They met for ice cream...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #28

    I think of Jeff LaCasse's testimony -- or maybe it was during the police interview -- of the time he arrived at Wendi's, and she was pulling the children's artwork off the kitchen walls. Why? I don't think she was getting the walls painted. Too bad Jeff didn't ask her why she was doing it. In...

    NYC - Jacob Zieben-Hood - 34 -Found dead 08/01/25 - Husband indicted for assault 10/01/25

    I've only started a thread once before, so I hope I'm doing this right and that it's in the correct forum. From NBC News: Model indicted on assault charges after husband was found dead in NYC home A New York grand jury indicted a male model Wednesday, accusing him of attacking his husband, who...

    Sgt. Chris Corbitt just retired from TPD. I hope it's ok to insert the FB screenshot. So would this mean he wouldn't be able to testify in any future Adelson trials?

    "The email was included with court documents recently released in the case. It is not clear if the email was intentionally included in the documents or released by mistake." I just finished reading Ruth's book. She said she was told the email was included by accident. P.S. And I accidentally...

    UT - Charlie Kirk Murdered on Utah College Stage *Arrest*

    So from the newly released photos it looks like he is wearing a sleeveless black undershirt type of shirt over a long sleeved shirt. Someone earlier in this thread mentioned a kind of adhesive or sew-on decal based on the logo on the Disabled Vets org donor shirts maybe available on eBay? It...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #28

    I also was of the mind that there might not be enough evidence to indict WA. But then I watched Jeff LaCasse's unredacted interview with the police. https://youtu.be/WVpGpA-Qbno?si=tULJ9ZxSUxzEesZW When I saw that it was about 2.5 hours long, I thought there was no way I was going to spend...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #27

    It may seem a bit inappropriate to publicize your own book during a victim impact statement, but I'm glad Ruth did. I didn't know about the book, and now I plan to read it. Ruth, unfortunately, knows firsthand about dealing with unimaginable grief, and I think the book could be very helpful to...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #27

    I know some may think the evidence presented today, especially the phone calls and transcripts, was very tedious, but I didn't. That may be due to the fact that I only became aware of this case in the last couple of weeks, and I am completely fascinated by it. So, I haven't been bored by...

    NY - Oshea Sibley, 28, Stabbed to death, Brooklyn, Possible hate crime, July 2023

    I hope I'm allowed to post in this thread to ask for assistance in finding out the outcome of this case. I just got gas at the station where this tragedy occurred two years this month, and I was wondering if the suspect was convicted. I can't find any updates via Google. Can someone kindly tell...

    MANHATTAN - Active Shooter reported at 345 Park Ave.

    The gunman reportedly had played for Canada Football League. Perhaps it will be discovered that he suffered from CTE, a progressive brain disease found in some people who have received repeated blows to the head, such as football players. NFLer Aaron Rodriguez who was convicted of murder was...

    MI - Gwen Smith, 17, - Killed in apparent murder-suicide allegedly by bowling coach. - June 14, 2025

    I hope I have started this thread correctly. I searched but did not find any other mentions elsewhere on Websleuths. The girl's stepfather returned home to find the bodies of Gwen, 17, and her alleged killer, the coach, Ryne Leist, 33. Not known what, if any, their relationship was...
