Same, i agree!

Paul read us the Prologue this past weekend at his book signing party at CrimeCon. I went right out and bought it. Not at all what I expected - very well written and deeply insightful.

Today I would like to suggest this case out of NY. A woman likely in her 20's, found in 2000, has quite a few identifiers available (DNA, fingerprints...), yet sadly she remains unidentifed...

Good news, that one has been waiting for awhile. I hope Galveston John Doe and Springfield Skull are funded soon since they’ve been waiting for funding for over a year now

Galveston John Doe has been fully funded, I hope Spring Grove John Doe will be fully funded as well.
