A date with Evil
It was May 1, 2013. The sun has not yet risen into the sky. I had just reached over to turn off my alarm clock. It is 5:30 a.m. I have started receiving some text messages, " Hey it's Shane, I will pay you $50.00 to do me a favor." I asked him what it was that he needed. He goes on to explain to me that he's very intoxicated, he is at a friend's house, he needs to leave before this guy's mother wakes up and kicks him out. I was already awake getting ready to go to work this morning anyway.

Elizabeth Amelia Dyer's Horrifying Murderous Life
There can be not many more troublesome things possible than giving your child over to the consideration of a stranger, saying a quiet supplication for the existence you won't see unfurl. Trusting, despite yourself, that you will one day meet once more.

The Unsolved Case of Kayla May Berg. Top Story - March 2022.
Article first published on Medium LOST AND FOUND, and LOST AGAIN On August 10th, 2009, two worried mothers made the decision to go to the police department for help. Their two daughters, Kayla and Natasha, failed to return home from the previous evening’s event. Each mother was told the night before that their daughter was staying at the other girl’s home for the night—not true, and not an uncommon teenage shenanigan. This time, what they sold as an innocent sleepover was actually a pretext to get away from their respective houses for the night to attend an outdoor bonfire party.

The unsolved murder of Dayton police officer Kevin Brame
The Ohio Attorney General's website has over 2,000 images of murdered men and women who still need justice. In previous columns, I have discussed different people I have found on this site. Many of these cases have been long forgotten by the public and the media. Many have fallen by the wayside to make room for the latest unsolved homicides.

A war criminal gets honoured!
On the eve of the New Year 2022, the UK’s former Prime Minister Tony Blair got honoured with a knighthood. War of offence itself is the ugliest war crime. Hence, whoever plans for an offensive war and engages in such wars is a war criminal. Any bad negotiation for peace is better than any war. Whereas, Tony Blair is one of the co-architects of a genocidal war against Iraq on a fabricated accusation that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. During the long occupation, Mr. Blair and his partner President George W. Bush couldn't find any weapon of mass destruction in Iraq. So the war was planned only to kill Muslims and destroy a Muslim country. So, Mr. Blair is very happy that the war has met its stipulated target. This is why while he was the Prime Minister, Mr. Blair didn’t pay any heed to more than 2 million people’s anti-war protest rally in Hyde Park in London. His craze for war went on. As per stipulated aim, the US and the British Armies caused the unprecedented destruction in Iraq. Even in World War I or II, no country was bombed as badly as done in Iraq. So, Mr. Blair has proven to be one of the ugliest and cruellest war criminals in human history.

What the Heck is a Mandy or Amanda Scam?
I recently moved to a new city and made some adjustments to my profile on Indeed. Lots of employers started sending me messages, telling me they thought I’d be the perfect match for a job within their company. I wasn’t interested in most of the listings, but there were a handful that caught my attention. Most of these job listings were remote, with a higher income than I was used to.
