Whodunnit, and why? All about criminal investigations and the forensic methods used to search for clues and collect evidence to get to the bottom of the crime.
The End of Bernie Madoff: Money, Mental Health, and Suicide
“Bernie Madoff, infamous Ponzi schemer, has died,” a CNN notification on my phone alerted me, reminding me not of the magnitude of his Ponzi scheme, but of the lives that were lost. I ignored the news for a bit, continuing to write and enjoy my morning coffee, before entering “Bernie Madoff” into Google. A deep dive ensued, and when I finally closed my browser, my feelings remained the same, if not more palpable, apathetic to the financial losses but immensely saddened by the inane loss of life.

Vanished in the Night: Where is Corey Edkin?
New Columbia, Pennsylvania is a small town in eastern Union County. Residents describe their town, which they affectionately refer to as “Newky,” as the sort of place where everyone knows each other. With less than a thousand residents, it was considered to be calm, quiet, and safe. But residents would wake up on October 12, 1986 to news that would make them question just how safe their town was — and how well they really knew their neighbors.

Lawyers oh my.. the ethics corruption runs rampant in Georgia.
Let us start with Alan Lowe... No one would expect ones own former attorney to withhold legal documents for over a year from December 2019 to a few months ago and then lie to the Ga State Bar about it. However now he has reached the Big Leagues of being a Defendant in the Federal RICO by even threatening to have me arrested for going to him for help, emailing him, trying to get him to keep from be victimized after I had been raped and still witholding documents including documents sent to the Ga State Court of Appeals in a case that Chatham County created and still won't assist in even helping his own former client after $43,000 in payments and me paying him to do his job. The Feds can figure it from there..considering I am was probably on my death bed and he has had since December 2019 failed to even return a phone call, to do anything to help including withholding evidence that would overturn a wrongful termination and has prevented the needed evidence from going to Federal Law Enforcement. One of UGA not so finest. His partner Ellen has had the same opportunity but won't return an email either. Now they have made themselves defendants in the Federal RICO case rather than attorneys for the victim.

Savannah Police Department Exposed
If you ever want to meet the worst police chief in the world aside from Ashley Brown who has zero concern about his officers murdering animals, stealing my car, falsely arresting me, and leaving me in a car with a dead battery for months in a Starbucks parking lot..and Gay Yandura the Police Chief of Brookhaven Ga, that is allowing my sexual assault to go uninvestigated and his Deputy Chief Brandon Gurley to threaten me and not investigate the sexual assault because I spoke up about Detective Sarah Miller refusing to interview me when she requested it...It would be Roy Minter of the Savannah Police Department.

How the mummified body came to be in Corey’s closet would remain a mystery.

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:
