Anna's ex-boyfriend has mentioned that he would have been on the cruise if they hadn't broken up. I wondered at the time if it was hopeful thinking, but more recently have wondered if he was actually part of the original plan. Cruises are often planned many months in advance. If the original...

The reason schools, like WSU, take a long time to deal with these issues is, to a great extent, fear of lawsuits. More lawsuits will not fix that problem. Almost any termination of employment risks a lawsuit, especially with state employees. Most terminations will be reviewed by lawyers to...

I have seen many posts commenting that no friends of any of the teens are publicly speaking out. I am not surprised. Most teens are now social media savvy. In many cases, posters on non-moderated sites have questioned witnesses as being suspects. In some cases, even making death threats. I...

I have only followed this peripherally. It seems that LE is releasing very little information. My experience in these cases is that frequently LE knows much more than expected and is just waiting for final proof. Or possibly, they are waiting for reasonable cause to intervene. I do have a low...

Are there any reports about where she rented the car? If using a large rental company, there is likely a great deal of information to be obtained. If she used a local "rent-a-wreck" type place, there would be a lot less information.

Trying to read between the lines, it appears that an individual who was a member of a gang recognized another individual who was member of another gang and they started firing at each other - as opposed to a gang-planned event. It also feels like they have a good idea of who was involved, they...

There seems to be a lot of spin attached to the reporting of this case. “Family Friendly” isn’ta good description of a place filled with hundreds of people at 1 AM. Especially when the owner says he closed the bar 10 months ago to make renovations to try and prevent events like this from...

There seems to be a strong "copy cat" pattern at play. The murderer of the United Healthcare CEO left messages on the casings. Subsequently, we have had two murders in the last 10 days, where messages were left on casings. The two most recent shootings occurred with the shooters on a rooftop (as...

I don't know if any of this sex business will make it into the guilt phase of his trial, although I suspect his lawyers may try to have it admitted. These allegations do make me wonder if the video camera in the judge's chambers were there to defer sexual interactions or to record them for later...

I think he threw Maddie's school computer in the trash which could be one of the claims. Trial expenses wouldn't likely go through small claims court.

Apparently, a large group of people travelled together for this confrontation and made a video of the event. According to the WBTW link in the first post, most of these kids travelled from the Myrtle Beach/Conway area to this very small town for this. This comes across as generalized...

At least this is all over. I was dreading the trial(s). The sexual assault trial would involve multiple descriptions of the various ways Maddie was abused. Even the murder trial might require this evidence also since, without the sexual assault evidence, SS has no motive for the crime. Without...

The Daily Mail strikes again. The only way this could happen is if XK was going down the other stairwell to the first floor, implying BK was on the ground floor. I believe BK was going down the stairs and encountered XK.

Looking at the island on Google maps, it is a very large and almost undeveloped island, maybe 20-30 miles long. There is a ranger station and a few campgrounds, but most of the island is undeveloped and likely only accessible by foot.

The "confidential information" is likely a tip or rumor that had not been investigated. If it were really important, this information would have been shared with the judge. IMHO.
