Shorty, The tragic case of your aunt is one that has gotten to me more so than other cases. I think it's because the news coverage was so little compared to other murders that happened that year. It wasn't right that she didn't get as much news coverage. When a local doctor, a nurse, and three...

The victim's husband was working out of town when the murder occurred. A local bootlegger testified that Maurice was cruising around town with him at the time of the murder. I think the jury didn't find his testimony credible because of the boot legging. Most people who read about his case...

If any of the web sleuths happen to know someone who frequented the Circle N, or someone who was "in the life", in Knoxville during the 1989 time frame, please run this case by him or her. Unfortunately, most people who run in these circles don't live past age forty, so if anyone knew anything...

So sorry about your mom. It's frustrating for law enforcement when they know a person is guilty, but have no evidence against the person. Keep putting pressure on the DA and homicide detectives.

This is one of those cases I cannot leave be. Please help police solve the 2001 torture murder of a young unidentified African American female, who was possibly biracial or a very light skinned African American. This victim was murdered in the worst possible way. Someone has gotten away with...

Detectives don't think those cases are connected. It's interesting that there were four gruesome murders within two miles of each other in the time frame of only a few years. The murders happened in nice neighborhoods, too. They're closing in on Pauline George's murder. I'm hoping Jamie Hickman...

Then maybe she was much younger than estimated.

I think she might have told the man she had dinner with the week of her death that she had never been married. Police questioned him. We can't be certain she was telling him the truth about whether or not she had ever been married.

It was dark, so I'm not sure the cousin could have recognized him. Most men dressed alike back then.

Maurice Mays had a lot of enemies. He was a young African American saloon owner in Knoxville's Bowery, the worst part of town in the early twentieth century. That area has been cleaned up and is now called the Old City. Maurice was also the African American son of Knoxville's mayor, who was...

Mark Anthony Williams, known as Tony, gave up a college football scholarship to join the police academy. He was only 24 when he died of three gunshot wounds in 1989. July 7, 1989 about midnight Tony was off duty and riding his motorcycle down Interstate 40 in Knoxville, Tennessee. This section...

It seems like there were so many hitch hikers who were murdered by serial killers in the 1970s and 1980s.

Police had a guy in custody a couple of months ago, according to KTVU. I guess they couldn't find evidence against him. I wonder if he is the same suspect they almost arrested forty years ago. It seems to me, the Doodler would have died of AIDS. Because he was seducing gay men in San Francisco...

It sounds very sad. Her mom's Facebook post said Amy has a serious drug addiction. There are three different scenarios that could happen when an addict goes missing. Very troubling.

If the yard was excavated only a month after she was reported missing, the must have had information all along that she had been murdered. What was going on that she didn't like the people living nearby? It seems she was afraid to stay alone if she asked her brother to stay with her. Did she...
