Has anyone else looked into the tide and weather conditions on January 1, 2003, around the King Kong Blue Hole? I’ve been researching dive conditions that might have been present that day, and it seems like there might have been some pretty strong currents reported in the area during that time of year. Obviously, this might not solve anything, but could it have played a critical role in whatever happened during the dive? Just thinking about what hidden factors might've contributed. Would love ... ...View Post & Comment
I worked with both Jennifer and the missing Bahamian man, Mark Gibson, at the field station on Andros Island and was with them up to just a few weeks before they went missing. As they were both my co-workers and my friends, maybe I can offer some information that can clear up a few of the details for you.... ...View Post & Comment
I've been reading about Jennifer Nicol's case, and something that keeps puzzling me is the King Kong Blue Hole itself. I've heard it's a popular but challenging dive spot, and I can't help but wonder if the conditions there might have played a role in Jennifer and her instructor not resurfacing. Does anyone know more about the specific risks associated with diving in that area? Are there currents or anything that might make it more dangerous than other dive sites? It's unsettling to think that b... ...View Post & Comment

Has anyone ever heard about the Blasingain case? I recently stumbled upon it and can't stop thinking about how little info is out there regarding Jamie Blasingain's death in Wyatt, Missouri. From what I found, there's no indication of an investigation or anyone being held accountable, which just feels so strange. Jamie seemed to have had a quiet life in Mississippi County, working as a deckhand. It feels like his story just faded into the background without any real answers. Has anyone in this c... ...View Post & Comment

I just came across this case about Jamie Blasingain, and it really struck me how sometimes, even when there’s a lot of information about someone's life, the circumstances of their death can remain so unclear. It’s tough to wrap my head around the fact that there isn’t much public discussion or clarity about how Jamie’s life ended. Given his job as a deckhand with CBG Waterfront, I wonder if there were any unusual circumstances present in his work environment that could have contributed t... ...View Post & Comment

Hey everyone,I've been reading through a lot of discussions surrounding Jamie Blasingain's case, and something that caught my attention was his employment at CBG Waterfront. It's mentioned that he was working as a deckhand on the Mississippi River. Isn't it odd that there's so little information about the circumstances of his passing? For someone who spent so much of his time on the water, I wonder if his job played any role in whatever happened to him.The river life can be tough and full of ris... ...View Post & Comment

I was re-reading some of the old posts about Christopher Van's disappearance, and something stuck with me about the community's response at the time. I remember how quickly everyone in Eugene banded together, from organizing search parties to offering emotional support to the family. You don't often see such a tight-knit sense of togetherness in larger cities, and it makes me hopeful that with this kind of civic spirit, we might reach a breakthrough. I know it's been a few years now, but maybe i... ...View Post & Comment

I've been following the discussion about the tragic events in Maumelle and wanted to spotlight something that hasn't been talked about much: the role of pets in understanding the dynamics of domestic situations. The fact that the dogs in the Wilbanks home were also found shot raises questions about the psychological state of the individual responsible and how pets are sometimes caught in the midst of domestic violence. Pets often provide emotional support and can be considered part of the family... ...View Post & Comment
Hello, I’m glad to see this case spotlighted and specifically your comments about the pets. This case has troubled me from the very beginning, one reason being because of the pets being killed. I grew up with Jim and Elizabeth Wilbanks and had communicated with him a few years before his death, and I truly do not believe he did this. The case was closed by Maumelle police within THREE days. What kind of investigation is that? The fact that the pets were killed is one of the first signs to me t... ...View Post & Comment

Has anyone else looked into the area where Shane was found? Ebb Guillot Road seems pretty secluded, and I wonder if any neighbors heard anything that night. It's a tragedy that this happened in such a remote location, making it more difficult to gather witness accounts. I can't help but think about his family and how they must be feeling, especially with so many unanswered questions. It’s baffling that such a well-liked and helpful person could meet such a violent end, and in a place where he ... ...View Post & Comment

I recently came across a detail about the investigation into Destiny Mayes' case that has been sticking with me. It's just devastating to think about what her family must have gone through hearing all the things that came out. The part that particularly gets me is how he had the audacity to order everyone out of the house like it was an everyday thing. Witnesses saw him in that brown Crown Victoria, with the blood on the driver’s door handle—just blatantly ignoring the mess he left. Law enfo... ...View Post & Comment
Hi, I\'m her cousin. Our family appreciates you thinking of us. He was sentenced to 35 years and 15 years probation to follow. To us no amount of time will ever be long enough. She left behind a beautiful little girl and an extremely loving family who will forever be heartbroken by this act of violence. During the trial they tried to go for the insanity plea, thankfully he was deemed fit for trial. His current release date is set as 10/02/2051. He truly is an evil person. ... ...View Post & Comment
I've been following the case of Destiny Mayes, and one thing that still puzzles me is the motive behind it all. From what I understand, Uthman "Q" Jalabi was someone Destiny knew, but why did things escalate to such a violent extent? It seems like an unthinkable leap from knowing someone to committing such a crime. I feel for Destiny's family; the confusion and pain they must be going through is unimaginable. Does anyone have more information about the relationship between Destiny and Q or any i... ...View Post & Comment

It's so tough to wrap my head around the tragedy that happened to Kara Ewing and her family. One thing that's been really sticking with me is the role of law enforcement in this case. From what I've read, the Washington County Sheriff's Office acted quickly, which made a big difference in apprehending Lisa Akers the very next morning. It’s heartbreaking that they couldn't have saved Kara, but at least their swift actions prevented any further harm.I'm also curious if anyone knows more about th... ...View Post & Comment
Hi, my name is Acasia. And I was also one of the other people there BUT the only one to have stayed and called 911 over and over again. (service wasn\'t the greatest) The only relationship that Kara and Lisa had was that they were roommates and didn\'t talk to eachother. That day still haunts me, she even pointed the gun at me and the gun jammed. And Washington county might have been on it and was able to get her but that didn\'t mean shit, she dragged on her time in jail to when it ce down for ... ...View Post & Comment
Hey folks, I've been diving into Lawrence Zamora's case, and something just doesn't sit right with me about his last known location. I’ve lived around Phoenix for a while now, and 59th Avenue and West McDowell is usually bustling, especially in the early evening. With all those people around, you'd think there'd be more eyewitness accounts or CCTV footage. Has anyone heard if detectives checked with nearby businesses for camera footage or anything else that could shed some light on his whereab... ...View Post & Comment

Has anyone else noticed the unusual dynamics surrounding the altercation between Jeffery Rigsby and Ronald Carter? I've been following this case closely, and it strikes me as strange that the situation escalated to an exchange of gunfire.

I have screenshots of the guy saying he would shoot Jeffery if he showed up. It had something to do with his “wife” at the time. Her bf after him passed away as well.

Because he was married his wife done everything and kept everything away from the family. ... ...View Post & Comment

I have been looking into this case as well as several other missing people in Schuylkill County. There is something dark within this county. I talked with this one person about a year ago. She told me what she was told happened to James. And that he was not alive anymore. She even showed me the house where she claims he was held and then eventually killed in.

Hey everyone, I’ve been following the tragic case of Donald Carlton and can’t stop thinking about his family. I read about his passion for golf and old westerns—he seemed like such a vibrant person.

Has anyone ever discussed the timeline inconsistency regarding Jamie Barrera's ex-boyfriend and his various accounts of the night she disappeared? It's been bothering me ever since I looked into this case. It just doesn't add up. One report mentioned that he claimed he left Jamie at the hotel, while another story suggested they went their separate ways later that night after picking his wife up to confront Jamie. These discrepancies make me wonder if he knows more than he's letting on or if ther... ...View Post & Comment
Jamie is my aunt and I wonder this every single day. There’s no way she could possibly go missing and him have nothing to do with it. He was very shady with our family as well during that time.

Has anyone else looked into the role of local law enforcement leading up to Amanda McCaig's tragic death? From what I’ve gathered, Amanda had been experiencing harassment and stalking by her ex for quite some time. This makes me wonder, did Amanda or her family report any of these incidents to the police prior to the murder? And if they did, what actions were actually taken? It's so upsetting to think that maybe more could have been done to protect her. While it's too late to change the past, ... ...View Post & Comment

I knew Aaron - we were in the same unit at Fort Hood and deployed together during Desert Storm. There was no way he pulled a gun on this kid. I think the kid went over there to rob him. I think that was the kids intention all along. He knew Aaron had money from his pensions and probably thought he would be an easy mark. It\'s really sad that happened and I can\'t really believe it. The last time I talked to him was about 13 years ago. I can definitely attest to everything they said about him. He... ...View Post & Comment

Hi everyone,I've been following the case of Ashley Minatel and something that's really been on my mind is the location where this all happened. Peoga Road is not exactly bustling with activity, right? For an area that's usually so quiet, it's hard to grasp how something this terrible could occur without more people taking notice. I just keep thinking about how isolated that road is—did anyone hear something but dismiss it, thinking it was something else?And then, there's the part about the 35-... ...View Post & Comment
Hi I was a good friend of hers and I too have always been disturbed that Mike, Ashleys boyfriend at the time and father to their child has never been charged with anything at all. In fact he was never even brought back in for questioning after the initial night they took him in for questioning after the incident happened. So many things are wrong with how he says this happened and no one believes it him that was close to her or even some that knew him and were friends with him at the time.

I can’t stop thinking about the courage it must have taken for Raymond Curly’s family to go through all this. Losing a loved one in such a horrific manner is beyond comprehension. I'm particularly struck by how young Raymond was—just 23. It's absolutely devastating to have someone’s life cut short before it even really began.

Raymond Curlee (not Curley) was my uncle. In 1978 he was a gentle giant that had an upholstery shop on the north side service road of I-30 in far east Dallas. The night he was killed, he had stayed late to finish a project. As it got late, he decided to rest on a cot he kept in the back room of the store. As he slept, Barber was walking along the service road in front of Raymond’s shop when he noticed light shining through the front window. Barber realized it was a soda machine and decided to ... ...View Post & Comment
