In the 1987 murder of Lita Sullivan, it took 11 years for hitman Phillip Anthony "Tony" Harwood's ex-girlfriend to go to police and tell them that her then-ex had accepted $25,000 from Sullivan's estranged husband to pose as a flower-delivery man and shoot Lita. So there's one case where the...

I just now stumbled across this update from a year later: https://www.kshb.com/news/crime/suspected-stowers-institute-researchers-murderer-stalked-female-victim-before-killing Looking like the alleged perp stalked Behrensen before the killings.

A news article about his court appearance yesterday says he has an attorney, but didn't name the attorney.

Well since you seem to have a Lawrence, KS, connection, here's one with a Lawrence connection. This case was in _In Cold Blood_ as the perpetrator was on Death Row with Smith and Hickock. You may already be familiar with this case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowell_Lee_Andrews KU student...

It's Texas. I'm a shrinking little wallflower nerd and I lived in Texas two years and I learned that stuff such as how a revolver works and how to brace for the recoil etc. No big!

I'm reminded of the first chapter of the novel _The House of Mirth_ where the...

For one thing, there are two separate jurisdictions. The women were reportedly abducted (or got in vehicle in any case) in Jackson County, Missouri, and the homicides likely happened in Clay County, Missouri. It's possible there's back and forth or some kind of behind-the-scenes discussion...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand another one today I wonder who will prosecute this. Jackson County (which includes Kansas City) or Clay County (which includes Excelsior Springs)? Location abducted from or location held captive/possibly some killed? Presumably Clay County?

That's exactly what I was thinking. The river carried her there. Off topic but I suspect that's where little Lisa Irwin ended up too. (totally different case)
