True Crime Heroes
Journalism has always played an important role in society. We rely on newspapers, television and magazines to stay up to date on current events. When crimes are reported journalists set out to uncover the truth. While conducting their own interviews they can bring to light information that was overlooked by law enforcement, and generate new leads. In some cases it is their dedication that leads to an arrest.

Murder Mysteries
The FBI has estimated that nearly 40% of all murders in the United States go unsolved every year. In 2018 alone this means that over 6,000 killers were never apprehended and remained free to walk the streets. Even with the advancements in DNA testing and evolving crime scene techniques investigators are still filing cases as cold every day. They are haunted by the mystery surrounding the victims and hoping for the break in the case they need to finally get them justice.

Cold Case Files
Christmas Day is no longer a day of celebration for David Sheppard. Instead it is a time of reflection, of sadness, of wondering why the world is cruel, why the good die young. In David’s case this was proven when his uncle, who was more like a best friend than a relative, disappeared back in 1995. David was 14 at the time, only five years younger than his uncle Daniel Sheppard. In December 1994, Daniel was helping his nephew strip down his BMX bike. He assured David the end result would be the envy of his school mates. He was going to sandblast and powdercoat it at the place he worked and told David: “you’ll have the coolest bike in the school bike rack.

How Sexual Assault was Legalized in Georgia
In November of 2018, while going to the Ga Supreme Court and Ga Court of Appeals I met the man that would fundamentally alter my life. I had been a Juvenile Probation Officer for Chatham County. Wrongfully terminated for nothing more than filing a grievance. I met Shawn, a Tow Truck driver with R. Mayer Towing. My car had died in front of the Court of Appeals in downtown Atlanta. AAA came out, wouldn’t accept my digital AAA card and so became the moment that over two years later leads to this article.

Leave no witnesses alive
The American public regarded the 60s as our most divisive decade. Young people expressed themselves unlike anything ever witnessed in past decades. Americans opposed the Vietnam War, fought for civil rights and watched a man walk on the moon. Although Cincinnati was the birthplace of Charles Manson, there are other heinous criminals and crimes associated with Cincinnati. For example, the Cincinnati Strangler prowled the Queen City around the time when someone murdered the Bricca family. Today, authorities still don’t know who killed the Briccas.

She worked in a massive building since it was the corporate office to one of the largest tech companies in the world - 100 floors, beautiful staircases, small trees inside of the building, ivory floor and walls, expensive artwork framed in gold.

Cold Case Files
Four decades have passed since Kevin Docherty lost his twin sister. But the pain he feels is still as raw as ever.As is his desperation for answers. Kay Docherty was asked by a girl at her school, Toni Cavanagh, to help her babysit on July 27, 1979. The twins’ mother Jean, who Kevin says was firm but fair, said no. Kay, 15, was bitterly upset – Toni was one of the popular girls at school and she wanted to fit in. “Toni had more freedom than any other girl at that age,” Kevin said. He has since found out that Toni had asked a few other friends at school if they wanted to go out that night for a disco. “Most girls weren’t allowed and my sister definitely wasn’t allowed out after dark.” Kay retreated to her room in tears when her mother refused her request. Kevin said his mother asked him what he thought. “I had band practice and I said to mum ‘I’ll take her there and I’ll pick her up in a couple of hours when I finish’,” Kevin said. Toni’s home was just around the corner from the family’s Warilla home. However, when Kevin returned to Toni’s place later that night, there was no sign of the girls. “Toni’s stepmother said ‘they’re not here, they went to the movies’.”
