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.
How to Find Recent Arrests
Arrests are a matter of public record, so unless the related documents are sealed or deleted by a court, anyone is free to access the information. The rules on reading these records may vary from place to place, but in Gainesville, Florida, you only need the basics to get started.

Reason First: What Motivates a Would-be Murderer?
All it takes is a phone call. Call it a prank. Call it a sincere yelp for help. Whatever the case, the idea of placing a phone call to a Sussex Technical High School official in Georgetown, Delaware has been taken seriously by Delaware State Police. A fifteen-year-old student of the school has been brought into custody for making “terroristic threats” against the institution of learning. What this signals is the ongoing war of unreason against rationality.

The Disappearance Files - Megumi Yokota - Japanese Citizen Kidnapped by North Korea
On a sunny but slightly malevolent-feeling seaside afternoon in November, North Korean agents kidnapped 13-year-old Megumi Yokota as she was walking home from a badminton court, less than seven minutes from her home. For years, all her parents, or anyone, would know about her was that she had disappeared into thin air, she was likely dead, and her body was likely in the sea. Her family went through the grieving process, and hoped that they would be able to move on, despite the circumstances of her disappearance.

Something Wicked (Part 4)
There is nothing more evil than a person that misuses and abuses the trust of the innocent. I'm not sure one could find a better visual description of the innocent than Aleah Beckerle. As an infant, Aleah suffered a stroke when meningitis overtook her tiny body. Left nonverbal and in a wheelchair, Aleah depended on the people that surrounded her for care. If any of them failed to feed her, she wouldn't eat. When her wheelchair was pushed to a position and parked, Aleah was left to sit there, often unattended, until someone came for her. Aleah depended on her mother, the very person that brought her life, for everything she needed to survive. It is my belief that Cara Darlene Beckerle failed her daughter miserably. She failed her in life, and she failed her in death. There is an old saying: "If you run with the dogs, you get the fleas." Rarely does one think of the impact those disease-ridden fleas may have before bringing them home to exist amongst the people you are supposed to protect.

Bad Cops (Part 2)
Law enforcement is a crucial part of our society. Of that, there is no doubt. Anarchy and lawlessness would surely reign supreme without the efforts of the police officers that are willing to sacrifice themselves, so that you may live safely and without fear. Sometimes though, the police are not the answer, but part of the problem. Bad cops exist, and Evansville, Indiana is full of them. Try as they may, the Evansville Police Department just can't seem to hire officers that weren't bullied all the way through school, entitled because of their participation trophies, and equipped with a firearm and the means to ruin a life in an instant with a lie should things not go their way. Why are the troubled officers, many that come with an arrest record, permitted to patrol the streets and rise through the ranks of the department? It is the intention of this author to shine a spotlight on the crimes committed daily by those sworn to enforce the laws of the State of Indiana and the United States of America. We common citizens are expected to live our lives within the letter of the law. If we step outside of those lines, we should be punished. Police officers are supposed to live by the same laws, but are rarely held to the same standards as the every day citizen. What happens when an entire department lives above the law? The case of Mark Healy is a perfect example of allowing people in a position of power to exploit that position.

What to Do If You Are Falsely Accused of White-Collar Crime
Often, people are involved in an illicit activity, but had no intention of taking part in an unlawful action involving money in high-end business transactions. These are victims of white-collar crimes who are ignorant; they are manipulated by other business members to take part in a grand scheme to obtain financial gain. The crime is committed under another person’s name to keep investigators away from the real culprit.

Most Wanted: Robert William Fisher
"If you leave me, I'll kill you," Many have used this threat to keep a significant other in a relationship for centuries. Some may have even followed through on the threat after a breakup. And there are others who may not have acted in the heat of the moment but put together a plan, and began to methodically ensure the death of a loved one(s).
