Defrosting Cold Cases

I have not done a “Sum it up!” in a while so it is time! During my newspaper rounds I found some interesting articles. The BBC reports about the 15 year old UK rape case against John Molt. Molt is accused of rape of a minor. “The court heard the father of accused Jon Molt [...]

The first Sum it up! for 2012 and I got a lot to share with you. First of all, another police department has decided to place all their cold cases online with information for the public. The Syracuse Police Department and the Criminal Investigations Division have established the Cold Case Unit with an email address and a telephone [...]

November 24, 2011 is Thanksgiving in the USA and there is a lot to be thankful for. It seems fitting that today of all days, my blog “Defrosting Cold Cases” is two years old. A lot has changed since the beginning. The publishing of posts has slowed down considerably because I have become more selective. [...]

Sum it Up #35 I finally understand my webmaster better. When I started this blog, I complained constantly about things that were not working. It irritated me when plugins had an updated version but they were not integrated in WordPress or the other way around. One day things worked, the other day a server somewhere [...]

Steve Mariotti has part two out from his series “How and Why I Teach in Prisons.” The link is here. A small quote: “A sad fact of prison life is that within three years of entry a majority of prisoners have no contact with the outside world; they lose all connection with their families. Joe’s [...]

Vidster is having a fantastic morning drinking coffee and making my round around the blogs. It is great to see people active! But before we get to the blogs, we must first pause. The mother of Suzie Lamplugh has passed away. She fought hard after Suzie disappeared to find her daughter and to get answers [...]

A mixed week, folks! Mixed because I did a lot and also, nothing at all. Caught some typos on the blog posts, rewrote the FAQ homepage, but did not add much blogging. Why? Good questions! I had no clue until I opened the file with bookmarks. Then it was clear what had been on my [...]
