There have been statements that Jim Jones abused marijuana, speed, LSD, and other various drugs. His autopsy confirmed that he had elephant-like quantities of barbiturates in his system at his time of death.

I held off on listening to the phone calls because I didn’t want to make character assumptions based on my impression of her sure-to-be nasty voice. I finally caved today, and I am loving the Casey-Lee conversation released on 7/28. Here’s my summary! Her brother Lee asks if Casey is going to...

I’m in the car, kids, and I’m not getting out! I am feeling some collective disappointment because these bystanders opted not to act with violence. I don’t have it in me to hurt someone. I have no kung fu skills. I wouldn’t even begin to respond in a physical fashion, and I will not question...

Seven million people are currently incarcerated in the US, and I am sure that many of them would enjoy a furlough or reduced sentence to be with ill and dying family members. Mathematically, we can not financially support all families’ wishes. I have sympathy for this child, but I am hesitant...

Hey Britney! Good work on the naked publicity. Please tell me more about how it's just so difficult to safely restrain your children when running from the paparazzi. Those mean people continue to invade your privacy by taking pictures of your naked privates in public. How awful!

I think there are two issues here. First, when the family sold the house, they profited an additional $13,000 from the transaction (within 7 months). While I understand the family has the "right" to sell the home, it seems ungenerous to keep this money. Second, I could empathize with a church in...

I am clearly the “odd man” out here, but I am disappointed that the OJ spectacle has been cancelled because Rupert Murdoch finally grew a heart. OJ deserves a forum to hypothetically confess because it’s been a challenge for him to continue to front his innocence for his family, friends, and...

I would like to know more about the context of the quotation because I firmly believe JonBenet would fully have the capacity to read the names of her immediate family regardless of her reading skills. Names are typically sight words; kids learn to recognize the shape prior to developing any...

I saw the episode on 48 Hours, and I found the story about the belt to be odd as well. I would assume that Kent was on his back for someone to undo the belt from his waist. It was stated in court that Ryan was choking Kent with the belt while Kent was facedown on the pavement. Finally, Kent was...

To be frank, I don’t think it’s worth our time to attempt to inform this person about the potential risk involved in this situation, as it does not appear as though she is making a logical decision for herself and her child. I suspect that we could flood her with scary stories, and she would...

This mystery is interesting to me from a few different perspectives. First, because this potential crime occurred in a contained environment, investigators already have a small cluster of possible suspects based on the passengers aboard at the time that George was discovered missing. From a data...

This story just keeps getting better, kids. Let’s review the timeline here… Friday 5:00am – parents leave home for Vegas vacation Saturday 11:00pm – officers retrieve children from home Monday – officers contact parents Tuesday – father refuses to respond to officers’ phone calls; father...

After viewing the pictures of the enclosures/cages, I have a few notes to add to this topic. I was attempting to buy into the philosophy that these people were trying to keep these children safe; however, the spaces that they created for them are genuinely farmish, reminiscent of my...

So, this is my first post, and I have been lurking for days. But, this one sent me over the edge! As a local, there are few tidbits I would like to add. The youngest son is autistic (as reported on KTVU.com), and he clearly requires a higher standard of care. Obviously, a 10-year-old needs a few...
