  • The Murder of Ashley Ouellette and the Vanishing of Antonio Torres

    There are two ways of looking at the case(s) I am here to discuss today. One is as a discussion of two mysteries, one an unsolved murder and the other a missing persons case. The other possibility is that this is actually one case that has claimed at least two victims. My purpose here is […]

  • The Murder of Kayo Matsuzawa

    Last month, I was all set and ready to go with different case write-up, one about the 2007 murder of Brittany McGlone. I was only a few edits away from posting it when I learned that there had been an arrest in the case. I do not want to give the impression that this means […]

  • 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 […]

  • Quick Update: Lake Oconee Double Murder

    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 […]

  • Barbara Blount

    Barbara Blount

    Picture Found Here In the spring of 2008, a 58 year old woman named Barbara Blount was living a seemingly ordinary and peaceful life in Holden, Louisiana, a small town in Livingston Parish. She taught Sunday school at a local church and although she had been a widow for four years, she had several family […]

  • 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 […]
