Most likely he would not be prosecuted by the US. There was a case a few years ago where a woman died with scuba-diving on her honeymoon and her husband was prosecuted there and bled guilty to manslaughter and served 18 months. When he returned to the US he was prosecuted again in Alabama but...

What kind of eyes did the Apollo astronauts use? This is an NASA statement that has bothered me, and I've seen it multiple places. All of the Apollo missions to the moon involved the capsules orbiting the moon

It has been my experience on Websleuths that it is hard to get definitive information about events that happen in the Bahamas. Piercing things together as best I can, I can envision a scenario where a rapid wind comes up and a wave causes her to fall overboard (very easy in a boat that size)...

I find it quite disturbing that we seem to have a kidnapping by a non-custodial parent and the police weren't concerned. Apparently they felt she was safe so enforcing the law became a non-issue. It doesn't appear that anyone felt the need to get social services or courts involved. I hope this...

From the People article linked above it seems like LE knows a lot more about this case.

Unless he gets a free lawyer from the state, his defense will deplete all non-protected assets.

I have followed this case peripherally. I didn't get significantly involved since the primary source of information has been from family members. Much of this related to a nasty child-custody case. My sleuthing experience is that family members tend to have an agenda and control the release of...

He apparently lists New Hanover as his home address, but somehow votes in Surry County. Unlike other states such as South Carolina, there is no financial savings listing an expensive vacation home as primary residence. Something just seems off about this situation. This issue was brought up in...

This is still a missing persons case with a victim still assumed to be alive and in need of aid. LE doesn't have time to do deep dive assessments of possible suspects since there is still hope of a successful recovery. Unfortunately, with today's 24 hour news obsession, there is a great deal of...

I think she was actually on the cruise. Nevertheless, I don't think she had direct involvement with review of surveillance video. Thanks for the correction

I am somewhat surprised, but not completely, by the delay in an arrest of some sort. We actually know little of what happened. Although widely reported that the stepbrother is a suspect/POI in this case, LE has never made such a statement to the best of my knowledge. The source of this...

My experience is that LE releases information if they think it will lead to useful tips. I don't know if LE released a capture from a Ring brand camera or just used the term "Ring" in a generic fashion. I do know that my Ring doorbell camera doesn't capture video like that seen in the Facebook...
