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. Not to mention, having to see her nephew, Charles, involved in such a traumatic event. Family dynamics are always tough, but this situation sounds especially challenging. 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 distressing to see how gun violence continues to disrupt and take lives, leaving holes in families and neighborhoods. 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
Short answer: I can’t find any public update that an arrest has been made or a suspect identified in Tyler Baird’s April 13, 2025 shooting. The initial reports still say the investigation is ongoing, and I’m not seeing a later follow-up naming a suspect.... ...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 has never really been much of an investigation when it comes to my father\'s disappearance. I know! 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
Jaclyn. I’m so sorry your family is still living with this. What you shared about your dad telling people he planned to move to Alaska—combined with everything he left behind—really underscores that this doesn’t look like someone who simply walked away. Your love for him comes through clearly, and you’re right to expect the same urgency others received.... ...View Post & Comment
I'm still struggling to wrap my head around the immense loss the Sougstad family endured. I've been thinking about Quinn, Ryan's daughter. It's tough to fathom the kind of emotional challenges she might be facing now. Losing a parent is unimaginably difficult, but losing multiple family members in such a traumatic way is beyond devastating. I hope she's surrounded by love and strong support. It's so important for her to have whatever help she needs as she grows up without her dad. Ryan was so de... ...View Post & Comment
I am Quinn’s mother. She is very well loved and supported, especially in this aftermath. As you can imagine it’s been an extremely difficult 4 years for us but she is doing great. She’s involved in multiple forms of therapy. She does 1 on 1 therapy as well as going to Eles place every week. We do many many things to keep John, Barb and Ryan’s memory alive. One of my main goals is to make sure she remembers all the happy times we shared together. Their memory lives on very strongly in our... ...View Post & Comment

So I know sinar, he is a good friend of my room mate. He was at my house on hillside some time before his dissapearance. Him and his girl friend stayed a couple nights with us and when they left I dropped his girl off at an RV (that allegedly was to become theirs) behind the subway near Dowling and Old Seward and I dropped him off at the mission (shelter) just down the street a ways, and he was supposed to walk back to said rv when he finished whatever at the shelter.

Hey everyone,The part of this heartbreaking case that's really sticking with me is the timing of everything. I can't help but wonder about the impact of this all happening on Mother’s Day. Sharayne was a mom of two young kids, and just knowing that they’ve lost their mom on a day meant to celebrate her is just gut-wrenching.

Hey everyone,I've been following the Leonard Peverieri case pretty closely, and something that’s been on my mind is the role Judge Bethany Powers Flint played right after the murder. Her decision to intervene with the police's initial interviews got her a public censure, and I can’t help but wonder how much her actions might have impacted the early stages of the investigation. I understand her wanting to protect the family during such a traumatic time, but could this have delayed or complica... ...View Post & Comment

Rayne was only 11 at the time of Jesse\'s murder. Telling my daughter her father was gone was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life.

I've been following the case of Dawn Vera Kovach and something that's been nagging at me is the role of the anonymous tip that led to Mattix’s arrest. I can't help but think about the brave person who called it in.

Has anyone else been following the legal proceedings involving Tonubari Badom before his tragic death? I came across the fact that the State had filed a lawsuit against him just a couple of weeks before he was killed, related to some misdemeanors.

I wonder if the pending charges might have any connection to his death... ...View Post & Comment
He was an abuser and his victim shot and killed him. While the courts wouldn’t count it as self defense because they had lots of documented back and forth of threats to one another. The mother of his children committed the crime and was found guilty and is serving her time. He had lots of crimes he was involved in. He assaulted a peace officer as well, which is why it was no problem to assault and beat her. There is no mystery here. In the end one of the was going to end up dead.

Does anyone know if that area was thoroughly searched in the days following his disappearance? I'm curious if they found any tracks or items that could have given new leads. Also, was this location significant to Wilton in any way, like a favorite hiking spot or something? It seems so eerie to leave a car there wit... ...View Post & Comment
Has anyone else found the timeline provided by law enforcement in Bao Vang's case a bit puzzling? I started going through the details they released, and there's something that doesn’t add up for me.

Does anyone remember the case of Kimberly Sue Doss? I was revisiting some old files and came across something puzzling about the so-called friend "Debbie" from Ridgeview, Iowa. None of Kimberly's other friends or relatives seemed to know her. It's odd that someone so central to her story comes up as a complete mystery. This is just speculation, but could "Debbie" have been someone using a fake name or potentially involved in something shady?

A new investion was opened in June of 2024 which has concluded there is no evidence of activity from Kim after she spoke to her mom. She has had no footprint ... ...View Post & Comment
