Last night on "48 hours mystery - hard evidence" I watched this story: Jeff Krotine (husband)--Ramona Krotine (wife / murdered).
I couldn't decide whether he was guilty or not (they were on his 3rd trial - other 2 were hung) but then the evidence that convinced me he was guilty was her shoes. Did anyone watch this?
He was found not guilty and I was shocked... she was originally wearing strappy / dress shoes (went to a party) and the husband said she never came home but they found her dead in the trunk of her car with tennis shoes on (I think they were on the wrong feet - can't recall) and her dress shoes weren't in the car (they didn't say if her dress shoes were at her home).. I was dying for them to say whether or not they found her dress shoes at home. Anyone know where documents on this case can be found? Probably not, huh? Plus it doesn't really matter b/c he was found not guilty (even though the last jury said they thought he was guilty).

Mark Winger killed his wife Donnah Winger and tried to frame Roger Harrington (after killing him as well). This is a sad, yet fascinating true story of a cold blooded sociopath....

PS- as far as I can tell, Mark Unger was one of the few who did not have a girlfriend on the side? it generally seems as though if a woman (wife) is murdered, a girlfriend turns up someplace in the picture, even if not direct motive...
and men wonder why they are always first suspect...

48 Hours Mystery: Lies and Whispers
A Woman is Murdered and a Young Man's Life Hangs in the Balance of an Unprecedented Legal Battle
Feb. 20, 2010
<snipped>
For nearly a decade, Attorney Sherman Powell's faith in the innocence of accused murderer Daniel Wade Moore has never wavered. "If I had had any idea that he did this horrible crime, I wouldn't represent him. It's just that simple," Powell told "48 Hours Mystery" correspondent Erin Moriarty. "I've talked to a lot of defendants," Powell continued, "but after sitting there nose-to-nose with him there was no doubt in my mind that he was telling the truth that he did not do it. He knew nothing whatsoever about it." How does a man get tried three times for the same murder? Well explain, but first we need to go back to the afternoon of March 12, 1999.
Doctor David Tipton, a psychiatrist, was married to Karen, who was a 39-year-old housewife. "She was in the prime of her life," Tipton said. "She was prettier than shed ever been in her life." Tipton, who was also 39, said he came home from work earlier than usual that day to go to the theatre. When he walked from the garage into the house, he noticed the deadbolt on the door was not locked. Tipton went into the foyer to hang up his coat. "I still think Karens upstairs. This is a big house," he explained. "I did call for her She should have been there with the children. At that point saw a drop of blood. One small drop of blood on the foyer, on the tile. The next thing I saw was more blood in the foyer, toward the door. And I walked up the stairs and was the most surprised person on the face of the earth to get to the top and find a dead body there that looked somewhat like Karen." Karens nude body was lying at the top of the stairs.
Tipton called 911: My name is David Tipton. Im at 2330 Chapel Hill Road and my wife has been killed. Theres blood everywhere and Im really concerned about my children.
Investigators began searching for clues as officers tracked down the Tipton children, who were still at school where they had never been picked up. "In a case where a woman is found in her own home, murdered in the middle of the day, who is usually the first suspect? Who do you look at first?" Moriarty asked Collier. "Youd start, normally, with either the husband or wife," he replied. "Even from the beginning, I realized that I had to be a suspect. Because, I was the first on the scene and the husband. I knew that," said Tipton. Police believed Karen was murdered sometime between 1 p.m. - after a phone call to a friend - and 2:30 p.m., when she usually picked up the kids from school. Dr. Tiptons office manager told police that he left his office in neighboring Huntsville at 3:30 p.m. "He had an alibi that we were able, at least that same day, to partially substantiate," said Collier.
It was enough for police to allow Dr. Tipton - the natural suspect by his own admission - to go back into his home the night of the murder. "But if they let him back in the house, the crime scene, they didnt consider him a suspect who might try to destroy any kind of evidence?" Moriarty asked Collier. "Well, I cant get into their heads, but thats a reasonable statement," he replied. Collier said Tipton didnt have any injuries or anything to indicate to officers that he had just been involved in a brutal murder.
Police needed some answers. There was no murder weapon or fingerprints found at the scene. But there was pressure to make an arrest. "High profile. Rich doctor's wife. Beautiful lady. Brutally slain. Don't you think there was a little bit of pressure on the police department? I think there was a lot of pressure on them. They had to have something," said Powell. Three times now, both the Tipton family and Daniels Moore's mother have gone through the excruciating wait - anxious for the jury to announce its verdict on all five counts of murder combined with robbery, kidnapping and sexual assault. The jury would have to find Moore not guilty on all five counts.
"And on the first one, we held our breath," Virginia Byrd said. "And on the last one, Daniel looked at me and he just (sigh) and it was over." Not guilty. It was finally over and Daniel Wade Moore walked out of court a free man.
Not everyone thinks Moore is innocent. The ultimate victim, then, remains Karen Tipton, who can never go home, never watch her children grow up, and whose death now seems destined to remain a mystery.
*Don Valeska remains a prosecutor for the Alabama Attorney Generals office. He is chief of the Violent Crimes Division.
Daniel Wade Moore has moved out of Alabama. He is seeking representation to pursue a civil case against the city of Decatur and its police department, claiming he was denied his constitutional rights related to a fair trial.

Michael Peterson killed his lovely wife, Kathleen Peterson. I worked on that appeal (on the RIGHT side - of justice!) He also killed a friend of his in Europe. Her body was exhumed during the trial for the death of Kathleen and what was originally deemed an accident was found to have been homicide. VERY interesting case.
This case was made into a movie on Lifetime.
I was concerned when first dealing with the case on appeal - what if it really was an accident. After reviewing the evidence, I am absolutely, positively certain that he did it. The jury agreed.
May Kathleen rest in peace. Her death tore apart a family.

I've got another one (being a former prosecutor makes this an easy question). Rae Carruth, the Carolina Panthers football player, had his pregnant "girlfriend", Cherica Adams, murdered. Carruth was in the vehicle from which the fatal shots were fired. Cherica later died in a hospital but doctors were able to save her unborn son. He was born with disabilities. This was such a sad one.

I read Carruth's story and I always hoped he was innocent. It seemed he had so much going for him, and I could never understand ( I do now after doing this for so many years) why he had to kill Cherica and try to kill his baby. It is always about money and getting rid of women. Ray had a career in football and he use to give back to his community. He was a young, successful guy. I don't know why he could not have chosen another way out. Was it that big of a deal to pay another ailmony for him? I know he may not have been playing another season due to an injury but he could afford it.
Shouldn't Carruth be up for parole soon?
Prayers for Cherica and baby.
Ray is/was a coward.

Somewhere in this thread is listed Ira Einhorn. I just did a quick search so I'm not sure how far back he's listed.
Actually I don't even like mentioning his name if possible. No need to give this piggy man any more attention. However, he contacted a Philadelphia reporter. She went to interview him. This is a link to the original letter the narcisstic creep face sent to her.
Holly Maddux was the victim of this monster. He's notorious in Philadelphia. At one point we had a cardboard face of him people would throw tomatos at. France kept him over there where he spent a bunch of years roaming free, marrying. Ms. Maddux was a beautiful woman. The Chief Of Police in Upper Darby now was at the time the Philadelphia Detective who found Holly's body in nutter's closet. His name is Michael Chitwood who is one heck of a Detective.
RIP Holly. I'm sorry your poor family suffered so. I'm glad this man is languishing in prison.

They need to make a TV show on the ID Channel about these cases
I was living in the apartment complex where she worked and died. Police and ambulances were there in the parking lot that evening as I was leaving to go to work. It was a somewhat upscale apartment complex and the violent crime rate in Hendersonville was low, and she seemed like such an unlikely murder victim since she was so clean cut, extremely polite, and very soft spoken.
I didn't know about the details you provided and always wondered how and why that could've happened. I can just remember seeing the flyers up at the mailbox kiosk after the murder asking for donations for her three kids and thinking how it was the most senseless tragedy I had ever heard of. It made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
