The Double Disappearance of Diamond Bynum and King Walker
One thing that will be a bit different about this case is there is a distinct possibility that no actual crime was committed. Two vulnerable people left their home, likely of their own accord, in an unfamiliar neighborhood, out into a small city full of abandoned buildings. It’s entirely within the realm of possibility that […]

The Murder of Bill and Peggy Stephenson
This is yet another case that’s been on my back burner for several months. To say it’s an odd one would be a gross understatement on multiple levels. Not only did the victims, an elderly, churchgoing couple, seem to be unlikely targets for a double homicide, but the known details of that homicide make it […]

The Vanishing of Jackie Markham
I have been wanting to write about this case for over a year. At least, that’s what I assume, since I have a file containing notes I took on the Disappeared episode that date back to March of last year. So, no time like the present. The case concerns the suspicious missing person case of […]

The Murder of Richard Clements
Today I am going to be writing about an elderly man who was murdered in his Toronto apartment early in the winter of 2008. This is a somewhat neglected case, one that I feel could benefit from more attention. According to those that knew him, the victim was a kind and generous man, and being […]

Update on the Dermond Murder This new update popped up a few days ago, and I wanted to share it. A few years ago, I did a write-up on this case. That was on my previous, less-user friendly web platform that I no longer use. I still have the article on my computer, but like […]

Judy Wardrip
It was a chilly December evening and Janet Wardrip was nearing the end of her long drive home. For Janet, “home” meant the family-owned and operated Bethany Motel founded by her father and currently managed by herself and her younger sister, Judy. Judy had been running things all day while Janet attended a photography class […]

Matthew Margolies
Greenwich, Connecticut is frequently associated with both affluence and, in the true crime community, with the 1975 murder of Martha Moxley. Yet there is a working class enclave within the opulent community, and with it, there is a lesser known, unsolved murder. The Byram River is a shallow, narrow waterway at this point in its […]

Rachel Anthony
Today I am going to talk about the abduction and murder of Rachel Anthony, a mother, grandmother and sister. On a bitterly cold night in February, 2001, Rachel was working the closing shift at a liquor store when she was abducted by one or more assailants, suffocated, and deposited in off of a rural road […]

Dylan Koshman
In May of 2008, Dylan Koshman was 21 years old and looking to move out of his family home in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan, and begin making a living elsewhere. Dylan was the middle son of five siblings, and he also had a large extended family that he was close to. Most people who knew Dylan describe […]
