Has anyone else been thinking about the timing of Michael Bartoli's murder? It's been bothering me how it happened so close to the holidays. That time of year is supposed to bring people together, but instead, this family lost someone in such a tragic way. I can't imagine what they must go through every December, especially without any closure or justice being served. With the location being near a fairly busy intersection, you’d think someone might have seen or heard something. If anyone has ... ...View Post & Comment

I've been closely following the case of Michael Wayne Bartoli, and something that stands out to me is the location where his body was found. That area near Tropicana Avenue and Pecos Road is generally busy, with lots of people coming and going at all hours. It's hard to believe that no one saw anything suspicious that evening. I can't help but think about how the police mentioned that the apartment complex had some surveillance cameras. I wonder if those got anything helpful? It would be devasta... ...View Post & Comment
Thank you for your interest in my brother‘s case. There are witnesses. They’re just too afraid to come forward. The police know more than they are leading on. There are suspects. The police will not share that information. But I can assure you, they do have video footage. This was an ambush. Hopefully somebody will come forward soon. I know that they are witnesses.... ...View Post & Comment
I’ve been going down a rabbit hole about Michael Wayne Bartoli’s case, and I can’t shake off this feeling of sadness for his loved ones. Finding him that day must have been such a shock. It’s troubling to think that someone could be ruthless enough to do this and then just vanish without a trace. I’m curious about the area where Michael was found—does anyone local know if there were any security cameras nearby? It seems odd that no footage has been mentioned. I hope more people come ... ...View Post & Comment
Thank you for your interest in my brothers case. To answer your question the police know more than they’re saying. Yes there was camera footage.

I've been following the tragic case of Dalonnie Lance Wyatt-Surgeon's murder, and something that's been weighing on my mind is the impact this must be having on his family and friends. It's already been over a year, and they still have no clear answers or sense of closure. It must be incredibly difficult for them to grapple with such a sudden and violent loss, compounded by the ongoing legal entanglements Dalonnie was dealing with before his death.His life seemed complicated, and I can't help bu... ...View Post & Comment
They only found and convicted one of the shooters. His previous cases had nothing to do with his brutal murder. Being Shot 7 times in the back is cold blooded. True closure comes when the family (who still suffers from the loss) takes their last breath. The trauma is relived every day. ... ...View Post & Comment
Hey everyone,I've been following the tragic case of Anthony Cornelius, and I wanted to discuss something that has really been on my mind. The incident happened in a residential area that's typically known for its close-knit community spirit. It's just so worrying that such violence erupted in a place where neighbors often watch out for each other.From what I've read, the area between 7th Street and 10th Street is usually bustling, even at night. It's alarming to think this happened so close to t... ...View Post & Comment
If anyone has heard of anything , anyone that can be connected please report it. Tijae was so sweet , so thoughtful, so loving. His presence is missed, greatly. My baby didn’t deserve to go out in this manner, whatsoever. I’m in disbelief that no one knows nothing or saw anything with all the cameras in the parking lot, and even across the street; there were multiple people outside when the incident occurred. I pray someone comes forward soon. ... ...View Post & Comment
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the tragic loss of Quintin Mack. It's so difficult to comprehend how someone so young could have their life cut short in such a violent way. As a parent myself, I can't even begin to imagine the heartache his family must be feeling. The memorial outside Phat Phish Café is a testament to how much Quintin was loved and how deeply this has affected the community. Seeing the tributes and flowers there reminded me of how important it is to cherish every moment... ...View Post & Comment
I'm just devastated reading about Jakayvin Jones. I can't stop thinking how terrifying it must have been for him in those last moments. The idea that someone out there still hasn't been held accountable for such a tragic end is beyond unsettling. It's also concerning that the apartment complex had been such a hotspot for trouble, including another recent shooting. Makes you wonder about the security there and if things could've been different if safety measures had been increased. My heart goes ... ...View Post & Comment
I'm new to these forums and just reading through some of these cases reminds me of how fragile life can be. I was particularly struck by the case of Curtis Lee McCollum. It's just unsettling to think that someone like Curtis, who seemed to live a life dedicated to family, community, and work, could meet such a violent end. I’m curious if anyone knows whether there's been any talk about improving safety measures for cab drivers since Curtis’s and Richard Webb's deaths. I know these tragic inc... ...View Post & Comment
Did anyone else catch that Rhonda was actively working with both rodeo and animal rescue organizations? While the investigation is still unfolding, I found myself thinking about the kind of person she was beyond the headlines. Anyone who has been involved in either of those communities knows they demand a deep level of commitment and compassion. It's really telling of her character and the values she must have held close to be so dedicated to those causes.For her to have tragically lost her life... ...View Post & Comment
The KEY that got me heavy involved in the church. We just witnessed a church get burn down The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints. What is NEVER talked about is DIVORCE and how it rips families apart. I can remember a family in Oregon who was going through a divorce and the ex-husband was with his children and went to go to a 7-11 store and his father-in-law shot in front of the store and in front of his kids. I personally have gone through a similar situation, and it amazes me that I a... ...View Post & Comment
There are many peculiar details surrounding the disappearance of Shayne Bassett. (he went by Shayne) The cardboard box his son was found in at the state house in Massachusetts just being one of them. The location of where his son was placed has always felt intentional and specific to his family.

Has anyone else been closely following the updates on the Jalante Brown case? I find myself thinking a lot about his friends and how they must feel. It's already tough enough losing someone so young, but when it's under such tragic circumstances, it seems even more unbearable. I remember reading that Jalante was involved in a lot of school activities; he seemed like he had such a bright future ahead. It's hard not to wonder what his friends are going through right now. They’ve lost not just a ... ...View Post & Comment
I was a very close friend to Tae. The reason on why Lord killed him is still uncertain. I was told it was over a girl and then I heard it was an accident. I will never get over losing him.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing a little about Tae and what you’re going through.

I've been following the case of Johnathon Cruz closely and something that's been bugging me is how often people overlook the impact of such incidents on the friends who witnessed it. Seriously, how terrifying must it have been for those who were there that night? It's unimaginable. From what I've gathered, Puckett had a history of reckless behavior with firearms, which makes me wonder if his friends were on edge every time they hung out with him. It's easy for us on the outside to question why a... ...View Post & Comment

I've been following the William Hale case closely, and something that really stands out to me is the immense pressure Charles must have been under that day. It's hard for me to imagine being in a situation where you feel compelled to act in self-defense against your own parent. This isn't just a legal case; it's a deep family tragedy that has left a permanent mark on everyone involved.One thing that's really been on my mind is how the community is processing all of this. William was clearly a re... ...View Post & Comment

I’ve been following the case of William Michael Hale, and one aspect that really tugs at my heartstrings is how this must've impacted his sister, Ruth Hale Hunter. Losing a sibling is devastating enough, but in such violent circumstances, it must be incredibly difficult for her. From what I understand, they were close, and she'd moved back to Charlotte to be nearer to him after living elsewhere for a bit. I imagine she’s leaning on the fond memories they shared growing up while trying to nav... ...View Post & Comment

I've been thinking a lot about William Hale's sister, Ruth, and how this must be impacting her. I can only imagine the heartbreak of losing a brother under such dramatic circumstances.

I hope Ruth can find the support and strength she needs during this time. It seems like William was such a respected member of the community, an... ...View Post & Comment

I've been following the case of Tyler Baird's tragic passing, and I can't stop thinking about how senseless and devastating this act of violence is. Tyler’s loss is felt not just by his family and friends but by the entire Lancaster community.

It's incredibly concerning that there have been no arrests or even suspects named yet, which must be so frustrating and painful for... ...View Post & Comment

Hey everyone, I've been following the Elkinton case and I find it so puzzling. I was thinking about the open can of beer and his cigarettes found at the scene. If Elkinton was planning on going anywhere, it seems unlikely he would leave them behind, especially since they were open. This makes me wonder if his leaving was more spontaneous than premeditated. I'm also curious about the timing of his plans to go to Alaska. Was it an immediate idea, or something he was planning for the future? If he ... ...View Post & Comment
He did tell all the people he talked to about his plans to move to Alaska. But he didn\'t take his clothes, side by side, 4 wheeler, or the trailer he bought to haul his atv\'s.

There was a young man that got lost up on the same mountain about a year after my father disappeared and they had a helicopter, drones, people on horseback. And 4 wheelers. And they found him after he haf only been l... ...View Post & Comment
