investigation
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.
Case File 141: Not My Favourite Things
A lone figure is typing on a laptop on neat table, humming and rewording an old tune. "A frozen pond picture of the scene of the crime, a bull hood ornament pointing to who will end up doing time. All wrapped in brown paper, tied up with string…. These are not amongst my favourite things."

My Angel
Julie grabbed her keys, threw her yellow scarf around her neck, picked up the lukewarm toast on sitting on the kitchen bench and bit into a corner. With the toast still hanging out of her mouth she slung her handbag on her shoulder, grabbed her travel mug full of coffee and headed out the door giving a wave to her little Maltese Yorkie who was already curling up in his bed, grateful that Mum was going to work and giving him a few hours to sleep.

Savannah PD The not so finest...
When I moved to Georgia I would have told you how amazing they were, from their patrol to their detectives, even two years ago I would have told you that until today. These events occurred and no one in law enforcement will hold these officers to answer for their actions. I don't hate law enforcement, there just needs to be some answers and accountability for the actions of the bad one because they have an impact on someone's life. I am not suggesting a lynch mob but every system that should allow someone to have these actions looked into from an AUSA, to the Department of Justice, to Internal Affairs and their own police chief and the district attorney refuse to even respond to an email. So Vocal is the only way I have to hold them accountable. Even Facebook has suspended my account just for posting links to these stories.

The wheels of justice can turn painfully slow
Before advances in genetic testing, if someone committed a brutal homicide, either he would avoid capture or an innocent person would end up in prison. When genetic testing came out, it freed many innocent people. Whenever I scan the latest news for true crime stories, I always look for updates on cold cases. It still amazes me when I see a killer captured 30 or 40 years after committing a heinous crime.

Pooler PD Exposed Part Three - The Patrol Division
In December 2018, I was driving home from attempting to pay a speeding ticket. I was driving the speed limit and had not even committed a traffic violation by the officers own admisssion- Bloomingdale PD simply would not take my debit card and told me to go pay it online, which I was headed home to do. Then the flashing blue lights. I was pulled over and was told my license was suspended, my driver's license photo was plastered across the officer's console. I had never been arrested. Never been in handcuffs with the exception of training. The Officer took my license (which he kept and the department has never returned), drove me to the Pooler PD , booked me, took my finger prints, and despite Ga state law drove me back to my apartment complex, telling me to have someone pick my car up from the Olive Garden parking lot. When he came to court, he left the courtroom just before the case was called. Little did I know this was the beginning of an ongoing pattern of harassment that continues today.

St. Valentines' Day Massacre
There are some great unsolved mysteries in America. The Boston Heist Paintings. The Zodiac Killer. What happened to the escapees at Alcatraz. Anything to do with Area 51. Today though, I will be talking about something else. It is a mystery that captures everyone’s attention. A mystery that has already been solved, but never proven. The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. On Valentine’s Day in 1929, seven gang members were shot in a Chicago warehouse, hit by a rival gang run by the infamous Al Capone. Unable to prove Capone's connection legally, we may only speculate what, today, would have been a straightforward case. Today, I will be telling you a brief history of Chicago’s gangsters, the massacre itself, and the resulting effect the shooting had on the criminal justice system at the time.
