 I ran into some issues with this blog and I am no longer updating it. I looked at other servers but maybe it is just that I am old school and stuck in my ways but I did not find another that gave me all of the things I wanted and was looking for.  So in the end I stayed with Blogger.com  Many of the stories here will be there but it is not a copy/paste situation.  I am researching every case again and putting them together again.  Who knows, maybe my position has changed, maybe not.  Maybe there is more information available.  Keep in mind I started this on ..read more

  I came across this case when I was reading a book called “Burned: A Story of Murder and the Crime that Wasn't” by Edward Humes. Much like the book I read recently on the murder of Roger “Scott” Dunn, the case did not end when the book did. In the latter case there had been a prosecution without a body. The book was published in 2005 and in 2012 Scott Dunn's body was finally found. Humes' book was the story of a woman who was convicted of starting a fire that killed her three children. This is one of those cases in which I was glad I read the book to know more of the story because while ..read more

Once again I have come across a case that as I sit down to put things together I am unsure what my opinion is on what occurred in the case. There is not a lot of information out there on this case and I was forced to rely partly on comments made on some websites to which I will, as always, let you, the reader know when things like this occur. Part of the reason that there is not a lot of information about the crime itself or the victim is the fact that the person who was convicted of the crime, Donald Ruby, was not only exonerated but was said to be “factually innocent.” There is still a disp ..read more

Clayton and Molly Daniels

This is one of the few cases that I blog about that does not involve a murder. There was a “plan” for a death; there were other crimes; there was even a dead body involved. These things alone make the case interesting. However, the other side of this case is the almost humor in the stupidity, arrogance and idiotic ideas of the perpetrators. The fact that they thought they could get away with their crime seems so ridiculous. I do not think the show exists any more, I could be wrong, but there used to be a show called America's Dumbest Criminals. I completely believe that Clay and Molly Daniels ..read more

I am pretty sure this is one of the cases that I discovered while watching “Forensic Files,” which is in my opinion one of the best true crime shows. Unlike other shows this one is only thirty minutes long so there is little time to be bias and it fully sticks to the facts. They have portions where they interview people of course but again, it is full of facts. You can generally find the episodes fairly easy through different streaming apps, including YouTube so if you have not seen this show and you like true crime, which if you are here I suspect you do, it is worth checking out.

  I have about three passions in life, true crime, genealogy and history. I admit that I am not an expert in any of these fields and I also admit that when it comes to history I am least interested in the World War II era. I do not know why, maybe it is the whole Hitler aspect, but I am least interested in that era. But, when it comes to civil rights and things like that I at least thought I knew quite a bit. I of course know about the cases such as Emmett Till, Medgar Evers and such. Apparently I had heard about Willie McGee or his name would not have made it to my list but I am unsure h ..read more

So, I walked into my research on this one thinking that at worse I would have the issues that I often face doing a very, very old crime where dates and stories conflicted from read to read. I thought this case was pretty cut and dry... there was a mass murder, there was a perpetrator... the end. But thankfully for both you and I, I do not just stop at just a few things. I will dig and dig, sometimes to the point that I have to force myself to stop, this is just such a case. This case happened in 1920 and is still considered to be the worse mass murder incident in North Dakota. It is also all ..read more

The Murders of the Lawson Family

 You have often heard me state how I love hearing stories from the early 1900's and prior. But, you have also heard me state they prove difficult to research because it is hard to distinguish between fact, rumor, and just a story that becomes a legend disguised as a fact. This is just such a case. There often are just not enough facts known to make a decent story out of things and so things become “fillers” so to speak. I am not saying that I do not do the same sometimes, however, I do not state things as facts if I cannot prove them to be so, if there is conflicting information, or as in ..read more

The Murder of Roger "Scott" Dunn

I told you I would get away from Kentucky this time!! Now I have moved on to Texas. I have seen this case covered on many crime shows including one of my favorites, Forensic Files. I am sure most of you have watched that show but for those of you who have not you should check it out. It is on several different streaming channels. It is a short thirty minute show that focuses solely on forensics. They do not have time to be overly bias one way or another in my opinion and is just long enough to give the facts. I am also in the middle of reading a book that was written in 2005. It was written ..read more

I bet you guys thought I would be done with Kentucky cases! Well, to be fair, I thought I was for a while too. I checked out a few more on my list that were clustered with the last several I have done recently and nothing “caught my bones.” So I moved on and it just so happened the next case that I decided to write about is from Kentucky. But, I will say this is not a death penalty case so it is not completely like the others. In fact, this case is quite interesting because it first involves what is called the “dual sovereignty doctrine.” Basically it means that state governments and the fede ..read more
