Is anyone following the Charlie Tan case? This one's out of Rochester NY. Dateline will be covering this Friday night. My nephew is an investigative reporter and will be featured as well. All this coverage has been somewhat of a career highlight for him. And, sorry girls, he's married.  |

I know there are a few of us here. I'm a member of Websleuths and am or have recently been actively following these cases and some others not as closely. DeOrr Kunz Jr. Toddler missing from campsite in Idaho. Big announcements yesterday by the PI hired to find him. Not looking good for the parents at all and I'm predicting (praying) someone cracks soon. John Beck. Elderly gent who disappeared in California recently. He'd been in legal trouble (lots of it) for a scam he'd been running through an infomercial but the family swears he wouldn't have disappeared on his own. Evidence seems to say otherwise. Tammy Meyers. Well known case of a Las Vegas mom who was shot in her driveway. Family lied about it being a road rage situation and they can't stop lying. Arrests have been made. Beverly Carter. Slain realtor. This case is wrapped up but for appeals. Guilty husband and wife murdering team are behind bars. Wife took a plea. Julia Niswender. Michigan college girl who was found dead in bathtub. Stepfather suspected and was charged on porn charges but found innocent. Allison Feldman. Arizona. Young woman found brutally murdered in her home around Valentines Day last year. Cops have DNA but no match. LE has kept very quiet on this one. Bryce Laspisa. Young man missing in California for a few years now. Vehicle found crashed and lots of theories but they're still looking for him. Titus Tackett. Toddler disappears during night while parents are out running an errand. Found the next morning in a diaper in a vehicle .7 miles away. Cause of death hypothermia. Is said to have walked BAREFOOT and in only a diaper all that way in 20 degree weather, opened the door of a minivan and climbed in, shut the door and died. IMO: No freaking way. There re are many others I follow and sadly. So many of them are children lately. Too many children dying, likely at the hands of their parents or trusted adults these days. What cases are you following? I tried to register; but couldn't get past the referrer requirement. What's this about? |

jinxmom2003 I don't think that is a requirement actually. I think that's just if you want to tell them who sent you there. Just leave that spot blank. It should let you proceed.

Happymomma, what's the general opinion of the justin ross case? Do people think he did it on purpose? Do they think the wife knew?

You can email them. They respond pretty quickly to get these issues straightened out. Rotsa Ruck |

Aaand it was about what I was expecting.
What seemed like an open-and-shut case turned into a rather anti-climactic resolution eh? As if some folks just, deserve to die. I can almost feel that lead detective's pain (not to mention the DA's!). Clearly that judge had moved on to bigger and better things. He did the popular-opinion thing and dismissed.
Is this case on Websleuths, I thought I'd found it but if so it's gone now.
I want to know what other people think. I myself don't see how you can separate the son from the mother on that crime and they remain thick as thieves. It's not that I care anything about the deceased dad. What I care about is folk getting away with murder!

This is so local to me. Millard is so obviously guilty, I have no idea how his defence team is going to defend him. The letters he wrote to his girlfriend are so damning. The DNA evidence is rock solid, as is the employees' testimony. I watch the recaps on our local news every night.
what sickens me most is that his mother is involved somehow with the Bosma case. She knew he'd stolen a truck and that it matched Bosma's and did nothing. It was in HER driveway in the trailer when found. I believe a neighbour saw it and called police.
They haven't formally charged him with his father or ex's deaths yet I don't think. They are investigating though.

I am not on websleuths and haven't heard of many of the cases mentioned here but I am currently following two cases
1 - Jessica Chambers - just before Christmas 2014, this beautiful young girl left her family home to go to the convience store. On her way there, someone attacked her, poured gasoline all over her, forced her to drink gasoline and lit her on fire alive. She died a few days later. They have made an arrest in the case but he is being tried for other cases first.
2 - Ross Harris - this is a local story for me but has been a national story. The dad that worked for Home Depot and left his 2 year old in a hot car all day...things really look like it was intentional and not an accident. He was just granted a change of venue so it will probably be Sept before jury selection begins again ( they were in the middle of jury selection when the change of venue was granted)

I have followed a local story here about a Mom, Michelle Lodzinski, accused of murdering her little boy 25 years ago in Sayreville, NJ. She said he went missing at carnival at a local park. Video and witnesses never placed the boy at the carnival. They found his body a short time later behind a building where the mom worked. No charges were ever filed. Fast forward 2014 they reopened the case, extradited the witch from Florida. Yesterday she was finally found guilty of this poor boys murder. Timothy Wiltsey was finally given justice. He would have been 30 years old. I remember the day he went missing like it was yesterday. So scary because it was the only missing child case in this area I have ever heard of and I had my own 4 year old at the time. Timothy can now rest in peace.

I'm not s member of web sleuths but often go and research cases mentioned here . I also like to watch Crimetime on LipTv ( YouTube ) where Alison Hope Weiner brings in experts to discuss current high profile cases. She has been featuring the Harris Trial and Missy Bevers case and has had an ex-FBI guy disgussing it. Each episode has a useful timeline so you can forward to something you may be interested in. youtu.be/fD7M2Wn7A9c |
