She Was Murdered in the Morgue. The Only Witness Was the Doctor... and She Was Next.
A murder in a morgue is like a fire at the fire station. It’s a special kind of brazen. But when I, a homicide detective with twenty years on the force, discovered our only witness had vanished from the locked crime scene, I knew this wasn't just a murder. It was something far more sinister.

The Ghost of Highway 10. AI-Generated.
The desert night on Interstate 10 is a lonely place. For truckers like Ricky Vargas, it was just another long haul, the hypnotic drone of the engine and the endless stretch of asphalt his only companions. He was moving a shipment of heroin for a powerful syndicate, a job he’d done a hundred times. But tonight was different. Tonight, he had an appointment with The Ghost.

I am not Surprised on Emmanuel Haro
This case is just “too easy” to handle just like the Carlee Russell case, the Susan Smith case, and the Chris Watts case. A 7-month-old baby boy gets kidnapped by an unknown Hispanic man after he assaulted his mother. The parents pleading with the news media for the son's return until the police found inconsistencies costs them to backtrack and not speak on the case.

Whispers in the Dark
It was a late Thursday night when Kelly Stone, the host of Midnight Radio, tuned her microphone and settled into her chair. The station, an old building tucked on the outskirts of the city, was quiet except for the hum of the equipment and the soft buzz of the neon "ON AIR" sign. Kelly loved this time of the night. It felt like she was the only person awake, the only voice on the airwaves.
