In the 1990s, a young woman with dreams and goals went to the United States for a new experience, and to work toward her longterm life plans. She never made it back home to Sweden.
The Murder of Loretta Jones
The saying goes that the wheels of justice turn slowly. And this could not be more true than an investigation that was nearly 50 years in the making. Were it not for the relentless efforts of two individuals, the murder of Loretta Jones may have never been solved.
The Abduction and Murder of Sarah Payne
The disappearance of a child doesn’t take long to hit national news. And when Sarah Payne disappeared while playing with her siblings, the news didn’t just hist national headlines - it went international.
The Pied Piper of Tucson
It’s a tale as old as time - by all accounts, a mediocre white man oozes charisma and charm and gathers a following. We all know that this is generally how cults start. There’s not doubt that Charles Schmid had all the makings of a cult leader. Thankfully, he never quite got that far, or that organized.
The Disappearance of Charlene Downes
There are some cases I research that are not always as they appear. That is to say, something comes up that makes the case far, far bigger than it actually is. What started as me researching the disappearance of a teenager definitely turned into something much bigger, and much darker.
The Scissor Sisters
We often hear stories of how far some people will go for family. I’ve researched a couple of cases where children will go the extra, bloody, mile for their parent. The case of Ireland’s infamous Scissor Sisters is not much different in terms of motive, but rather nuanced in terms of opportunity and means.
The Infamous Evelyn Dick
Everyone loves a story that withstands the test of time. And for the residents of Hamilton, Ontario, the story of Evelyn Dick certainly does just that.
The Disappearances of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope
Circumstantial cases often rely on the totality of evidence - how each piece fits together to create a bigger picture, almost like putting a puzzle together. Sometimes, the puzzle is left with some empty spots. Sometimes, the puzzle comes together completely. But it’s always reliant on how each individual piece fits in with the whole, rather than relying on one ‘smoking gun’. In the case of the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, the puzzle was forced to form a picture that doesn’t seem to match the pieces given.
The Disappearance of Evelyn Hartley
Unsolved cases are the hardest to fathom. My necessity for conclusions and answers make these cases frustrating for me. But they do need to be discussed. These cases do need exposure. Even when the cases are over 70 years old. Like the mysterious disappearance of Evelyn Hartley.
The Murder of Emily Longley
People in positions of extreme wealth and privilege often think that they can get away with anything. Some even think they can get away with murder.
