LWOP

I never heard of this and I did live in Kentucky at the time this occured. RIP Jessica..Finally after all these years that will serve his time. I think LWOP is worse then the DP anyway because you have to sit for the rest of your miserable life behind bars and KNOW exactly why your there. She was a beautiful girl. :blowkiss:

trial of the last two defendants to begin in September, I think Quincy Cross did not get a fair trial, I think the whole case stinks, and the two main witnesses lie, lie some more and then lie again, and I think they need to do an impartial investigation with outside investigators to look again at this case,

A western Kentucky murder went unsolved for six years, until one woman took matters into her own hands...

...On August 1st, 2000, police in Mayfield found the body of 18-year- old Jessica Currin, burned and dumped behind a middle school...

... Time passed, the case turned cold for investigators, but (Susan) Galbreath, a housewife with no police training, kept hunting...

...She set up an online tribute to Jessica on Myspace, inviting comments. That's where she found Victoria Caldwell. She was at that party...

...Galbreath helped put Kentucky State Police in touch with Caldwell. She eventually confessed and pointed to Cross as the ringleader...

That is really interesting. And encouraging!

 

[WholeLottaRosie]

Very cool. And so inspiring. Kudos to Susan!

 

[angeleleven]

I love hearing stories like that. Susan is a special person.

 

[elle1919]

just shows what a little faith and determination can accomplish

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Hmmm...I wonder if she is a member here?! LOL If not, she should be!

Kudos to Susan on a great job for Justice! :clap::clap::clap::clap:

 

[txsvicki]

Susan should be a Websleuth! If she's not though, she's one at heart. If not for her, the case may never have been solved. Very inspiring.

I love hearing about these success stories from armchair sleuths and detectives. (That might be why I joined here, heh heh).

Excellent work, Susan!

I was looking for an article on "Stan Galbreath ", but this was heartwarming, none the less!

 

[Kat]

I don't see a thread for Stan in the missing archives for the 1980's. I found a doe network page for him and a couple other forums have a listing for him but I'm not seeing a lot of activity for him on the internet with just a basic search.

If no one else does it, I will start a thread for him tomorrow morning (my time).

Veteran BBC investigative reporter Tom Mangold got an email out of the blue one day from a woman in Mayfield, Kentucky, asking him for help to find the murderers of a teenage girl. Intrigued, he flew out to meet her soon afterwards, and stumbled into an extraordinary story.
