1983 Minnesota Cold Case may Point to Uncaught Serial Killer
She just wanted to sun herself by the Lake. She deserved some “me” time after such a trying week. Behind her, he moved as silent as a specter. The stranger’s monstrous, pugilist’s hands tightened around her neck like a constrictor preparing to feed. She saw nothing but black and he slowly released pressure…

The disappearances of Felipe Santos and Terrance Williams
While in grade school during the 70s, I can recall when police officers would visit our school. They would tell us about the perils of drugs, stranger danger and tell us to obey the law. They also claimed to be our friends and to approach them if we were in danger. I still remember the following words:

The Mystery of Baby John Doe
February 28, 1988 saw some early signs of springtime life for bitterly cold Cheyenne, Wyoming. Lots of townspeople were out walking that day to release some of that pent up winter energy.

Dead to rights (follow up from Merlot wins in the end)
I'd had a few weeks off enjoying the ocean with my two boys Belgian Malinois I'd had a hectic month so time off was just what I needed, every time supplies were required I'd put my usual disguise on! As far as the locals new an elderly lady in her 55's to 60's lived here not a young curvaceous 5'2 brunette, I'd had so many aliases I had forgotten my own birth name! I'd gotten use to the many disguise's & was becoming to comfortable being someone else I never celebrated a birthday as I didn't even know when the actual date was! Come to think of it I wasn't even shore of my actual age, Years ago I new that this would be a solitary life! One of loneliness & that! Is why I chose this profession, The first kill was the hardest! Once I'd learned how to cut off my emotions it just kept getting easier! In fact you could say I'd become colder than Ice. We were getting low on stock & I needed to do a run into town, I lived so far away from civilisation I doubt anyone would even venture out this far and even if they did I had made sure they'd never find my place, all access roads or tracks leading curious people to snooping any where close to my retreat would eventually take them back to the local beach cantina it was a long roundabout trek but it worked out all the same, I'd covered my tracks like I've said many times matriculates in everything I do, check! triple check! never leave any stone unturned always stay three steps in front of everything & everyone.

The Jack the Ripper Case and Why it Caused the Media Frenzy that it did.
Jack the Ripper is to date one of the world’s most prolific serial killers. He was active in London before the term “serial killer” came into existence, which makes him one of the earliest serial killers to have existed. His modus operandi, while not unique in this day and age, gave the media at the time a lot to write about.

To the Georgia State Patrol ..
I had never met a Ga State trooper until 7/12/2019. While the Pooler PD was terrorizing me over either a dead car battery or being in need of gas and leaving me in a Starbucks parking lot with my two animals, then taking them away and leaving me in the car for months before they took the car with no legal reason, which they remain in possession of and have been lying about for almost two years I met one.
