Whodunnit, and why? All about criminal investigations and the forensic methods used to search for clues and collect evidence to get to the bottom of the crime.
Dalia Dippolito : Devil in Distress
This is one of those stories that will make your skin crawl. As someone who’s been studying psychology and human behaviour for over 2 decades, I can tell you that this particular person (Dalia Dippolito) is a rare breed, and we can all be thankful for that. Unfortunately for us, these people do exist. What’s even more unfortunate for all of humanity, these types of people are on the rise. I’ll give you my opinion on why that might be later on in this article.

Chatham County Sheriff deputies behaving badly...
In June 2019, I went to the Chatham County Juvenile Court where I worked for help, because I had worked there and they were family to me. What they did is horrid. My former, coworker a former US Marine,Will would not let me in the building saying there was a restraining order- this was not true. I asked him to check court records and he refused. While I waited outside on the front bench- My Borelis NorthFace backpack containing my MacBook Pro, Ipad , Silver Iphone 8 plus , my Paperwhite Kindle, Harvey's light blue wallet with my credit cars, driver's license , an envelope from Tijuana Flats, a copy of my separation notice that proved my termination was illegal, my step-father's wedding band I had carried every day since his death when I was 18, "disappeared." I asked to file a police report and was refused.

The lost sister: Where is Jessica Masker?
For many of us, our siblings are our closest friends. As kids, we may fight and disagree over things that now seem so trivial. But our siblings will often watch our backs. But what happens if one of your siblings disappears? It’s not like there is an instruction manual that prepares us for this situation. I recently spoke to a young woman named Christina Masker, who has spent the past eight years searching for her missing sister.

Ted, Americas second serial bomber
Two months after the una-bomber was arrested there was a suspicious package found in the lobby of the Poff Federal Building in Downtown Roanoke, VA. It was in a brown box wrapped in similar packaging to what Ted was known to have used. This had to be a copy cat crime otherwise, Ted being in prison was a lie. The building was evacuated immediately through alternative methods. The SWAT team was called in and VMI sent in their bomb disposal units. After several hours of work they had the bombs defused and everyone could return to work, Those who felt unsafe could go home for the rest of the day.

Beyond Depraved: LaLaurie Mansion’s Death Attic
On the evening of April 10, 1834, a fire broke out in an elegant three-story mansion in New Orleans’ French Quarter. The rescuers found a slave woman chained in the kitchen who admitted to deliberately setting the blaze. She felt it was worth the risk of dying in a fire to escape further torture at the hands of Madame LaLaurie, the lady of the house. After the authorities released her, she led them to the attic where worse horrors awaited them.

The abduction of Dorothy Forstein
Every year, people disappear. Although most of them return home, many others never do. What happens to these missing people? Did aliens abduct them? Although I don’t subscribe to alien abductions, it makes for good television. When people vanish, they have either walked away from their lives or someone else killed and disposed of them.
