I always suspected that the Bellannack, Hakari and Donna Lass murders were related. It turns out that Bellannack’s killer lived in the same building as she did. Just another aspect of the crimes that appears different. I have suspected that whoever killed Hakari had followed her there and took...

Now that the Parkway murders and the Appalachian Trail murders have been solved, only the Route 29 murders remain of the 1990’s Virginia murders that are still unsolved. Since there is no DNA or other biological evidence available, the odds don’t look good.

Potts is a pretty bad guy; possibly good for multiple murders and a history of. Sexual abuse of young girls but no history of a crime that was similar to the Janose case. I think there was a not entirely unfounded belief that he had committed other serious crimes in Polk County but I doubt this...

I’ve never been to the area around Tina bar where the two bundles of bills ($6000) were found. It is my understanding that this private land at the end of a dirt road past farmland just west of Vancouver Wa. In cold weather months, when the skyjacking occurred, there was generally no one...

It leaves open the possibility that it was just a deranged individual who had gotten a hold of an improvised handgun walking the streets of London looking for a random victim. Maybe an attractive woman; maybe anyone. Even big time celebrities can have bad luck.

I caught the Red Cold podcast yesterday. Jeff Buziak was on the show. It was very interesting with some intriguing insights. He shed some light on two very important issues that are critical to solving the case. Jeff related that he is “of the belief” that Lindsay was first stabbed in the...

This was the 1970’s. There was no technology available to read or record serial numbers. Bills circulated and we eventually “retired”; ie burned without the serial number ever being recorded or checked. Nobody knows for sure that the bills were negotiated but there is no evidence that they...

The FBI has a pretty good idea where he jumped based on the “bump” of the airplane and it was over the flat farmland/pasture north of Vancouver Wa. A dead body would have been found quickly but none was; DB survived and got clean away. The found on the riverside; two bundles of bills right...

I have followed this case for a while and I am convinced that his was not a random street crime nor a hookup related robbery. Somebody had a pretty good reason for wanting Alan dead. If the cause of death could not be established or suicide could not be ruled out, I would expect an...

STL, I think you got it about right. A “business takeover” may have been the plan all along. My initial thinking was that the plan was to get the cash from the safe before it was taken to the bank. They may have gotten opening time wrong. What never made sense was the “get away” vehicle...

This is an interesting case that I have just taken a bit of a deep dive into. This is a situation where a low risk individual, who no one appears to have anything to gain or any other motive, is murdered. Something that is obvious is that this was a well planned murder targeting Scott...

This is an interesting case I had never heard of. The prosecution of Lemuel Prion is a Classic example of a 90’s era wrongful conviction. “Why waste more time on an investigation that may never be solved when you’ve got a guy who is a despicable lowlife the jury will hate and any conviction...

I can’t say I am very familiar with this case but something that seems fairly obvious is that the Stachowicz call was made by the killer to make sure she was home alone. We can infer from it that she did not recognize the voice of the caller and the voice was consistent with a male in the age...

To me, the most interesting aspect of the case is that his body was dumped in a fairly remote spot in dense vegetation that effectively delayed discovery (which isn’t unusual) but the vehicle was a abandoned fairy nearby the body dump site; which is unusual. Significantly, the vehicle was not...

Even though the Manner of Death has been disclosed, the actual Cause of Death, to the extent that it can be ascertained, has not been disclosed. Alan’s death; presumably a murder, appears to be very unusual. There is perhaps an active investigation that is still going on and there are...
