Credit card companies will give college students an insane amount of credit on the theory that: A. college students often don't have enough life experience to use credit wisely, so they will use the hell out of their credit card and pay only the bare minimum (thereby racking up interest, which...

Just want to note that the correct name of the genetic genealogy laboratory is Parabon Nanolabs, not Parabon Labs.

An arrest has been made: Arrest made in 2009 murder of Mahomet woman Morning newscast just now said that the suspect's listed address is only a few streets away from Holly's address (where Holly was killed). Press conference scheduled for 11am. [This last bit is just bits and pieces I caught...

The timeline and the hair (wavy) seem to line up, but there's a substantial difference in height: Elsie was definitely on the tall side at 5'8" to 5'10", and the unidentified remains are on the short side at an estimated at 5 ft. to 5'3". I know that height on skeletal remains can be off, but...

Not to nitpick (or get too off-track)...but Christianity is a spectrum, and a belief in the doctrine of sola fide kind of depends on specific denomination. Roman Catholics, for example, certainly have "good works" in the mix, and we're definitely also Christian.

This case kind of reminds me of Leanne Bearden; she's the young woman who backpacked around the world with her husband for a couple of years, and disappeared once they returned to the US. (There's a massive thread about her case in the WS archives somewhere.) Her body was found (suicide) not...

Life is cheap to some people. Murders have happened over billions of dollars, and over issues as trifling as "he looked at me wrong." Murders have happened with no motive at all, simply because Life Is Cheap to some people. There isn't necessarily a motive, and if there is (and we ever find...

The blogger Sean Munger has written a couple of entries about Jay Pringle's disappearance: https://seanmunger.com/2014/04/19/disappeared-jay-pringle-missing-37-years-today/...

Just a suggestion (and hopefully this doesn't get me banned from the board): please make sure there will be sufficient parking for locals who are planning to drive to the convention. I was so excited that CrimeCon was in Indy--usually big events like this are held on the coasts, but finally...

Local newscast this morning (WAND-TV) reported that cause of death was a defective aorta.

Found alive in Georgia; was staying with friends and says she didn't realise she'd been reported as missing and doesn't know where her son is: Homicide Suspect's Mom Found in Georgia; Tells Son: "Talk to Police"

It's at 3pm on Saturday. I think. There's also an "Up and Vanished: The Tara Grinstead Case" session on the same day, and I keep getting my Taras confused when I look at the scheduler--

I'm a little behind on all the nuances of the "shopkeeper" discussion, but..."shopkeeper" is one of those kind of clumsy, catch-all words that you learn in beginning language courses. "Juan is a shopkeeper. Pedro enjoys ice cream. Jose y Maria va a la playa." If I remember correctly, I think...

We have a pet having surgery today, so I'm going to end up driving in later and leaving earlier than I had originally planned, so I can be home when he needs his medicine. But I am tentatively planning: Friday: Cold Case Research 101 (this is the one I'm most excited about) All the "Day in a...

We should have some kind of WS ribbon to wear on our shirts to recognize fellow WSers. Or maybe just cover ourselves with fingerprint dust so we can spot a WSer a mile away--

I'm still working on my schedule of sessions to attend, but will try my best to make it. Just promise to overlook my glaring social awkwardness--

I just registered! I've had a pretty stressful and sad semester, so Mr. Mouse has been encouraging me to treat myself to CrimeCon. (How weird it sounds to say that I'm cheering myself up by immersing myself in true crime for 3 days, but you guys know what I mean.) I agree it would be nice to...

Local news is reporting that LE is digging in a field outside of Penfield, IL. They aren't saying who or what they're looking for, but Matt Mullins (Heather's brother) says that they may be looking for his sister (or maybe just evidence from her case?)...
