they grew up together and at one point they were close friends. The both had a child by the same woman. But neither of them were with the mother of their children at the time of the incident.

Mr. Barfield had recently moved from Louisiana and was only home to collect the remaining belongings of his and his fiancé. He was outside his mother’s house when the argument started. The case has went to trial and the defendant was found guilty unanimously by the jury.

the argument between them occurred earlier in the day..

It escalated because of the defendants Jealousy and hatred towards Mr Barfield who was just doing better in life than the defendant.

Hi I'm Kenisha Poole, I really want to thank you. I really don’t have many words about this still, but we do keep his name alive.

remains found on Deep Creek Road were identified as Laniyah Danyell Whitted, who went missing in november 2021. deputies say her remains were found in late july and the NC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed the ID in august. a man, Kabron Markell Thaggard (22), was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and concealment of a body; deputies say he is being held with no bond and was already in custody on other pending violent charges. the sheriff's office said the family has been notified.

this has been such a long case for her family, and i'm hoping this leads thru to answers at court , Thaggard is expected to make a first appearance the day after the arrest , and that Laniyah's family gets the justice and closure they didnt have for years.

Remains recovered in June were examined by a forensic anthropologist and have been identified as Patrick Jay Valente, the Arroyo Grande man who went missing in July 2008. Detectives from the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes and Coroner units located the remains in a rural part of the county and the Sheriff’s Office says the discovery is now part of an active investigation. Search and Rescue helped with recovery and investigators are asking anyone with info to contact the Detective Division or Crime Stoppers.

Patrick Jay Valente was reported missing by family in July 2008 after he was last seen at his home in unincorporated Arroyo Grande on July 4, 2008. This identification finally gives the family confirmation after nearly two decades, and I hope it leads to answers and justice for them. I’m glad they at least got a name back thru investigators, cuz that matters.

denise horsey update: tyrone hughey, 44, pleaded guilty oct. 20, 2026 to one count of second-degree murder in the 2006 stabbing death of Denise Horsey in Salisbury, MD. sentencing was postponed until Jan. 2027, and he’s currently serving a lengthy DOC sentence on an unrelated case.

police reopened the cold file in 2025 and found new witnesses who said Hughey admitted the killing and tried to destroy physical evidence. Hughey had been indicted by a Wicomico County grand jury on sept. 22, 2025, and this plea appears to be the resolution of that indictment after yrs of no arrests.

he’s pleaded guilty tho to second-degree murder, sentencing will be in Jan. 2027, no other info announced about the exact term yet.

I'm the one that found mr wuertz's body it was in his house and had been there for years he was mummified I'm assuming that they created the missing person profile because he had been there so long there having a hard time identifying the body found at his residence

I'm the one that found yourself body it was in his house and had been there for years he was mummified I'm assuming that they created the missing person profile because he had been there so long there having a hard time identifying the body found at his residence

yeah, TM , thanks for saying that; I'm soory you had to find him, that must've been awful for you.

TM, it's strange the Namus case was created in April of this year. Did you find the body before or after that Maybe they are just running behind getting the case updated.

Michael Jerome James (35) was arrested at his Shelbyville home after a Johnson County grand jury indicted him on two counts of murder in the July 24, 2006 deaths of Chynna Dickus (26) and her stepson Blake Dickus (10). Prosecutors say the grand jury heard evidence over several weeks but have not publicly detailed what links James to the killings; authorities say he would have been 14 at the time and will be tried as an adult. The arrest came after investigators reviewed old evidence, pursued new leads and shortly after the reward was raised to $100,000, and cops say they are not looking for any other suspects.

Chynna and Blake were found stabbed in their Franklin, Indiana home by Sean Dickus on July 24, 2006, and police had long considered links to nearby burglaries and other leads. This is a major development after two decades of the case going cold, tho I hope the family finally gets answers and justice , they deserve it, didnt.

Police say the suspect was indicted by a grand jury and arrested after that sealed indictment was returned, Dwight Rust Jr. (48) was indicted on a first-degree murder charge in connection with Michelle Lee Rust’s July 20, 2002 disappearance in Halethorpe, Maryland and was arrested on April 21, 2026. Prosecutors say the indictment is sealed, a judge ordered him held without bail, and investigators have long suspected foul play after her van was found abandoned with the key broken off. Neighbors told police they never saw Michelle leave the house that morning and there was never activity on her bank or credit accounts, investigators said. This is a big development after the cold case sat dormant for years, and police are gonna keep digging thru evidence while the case moves forward and he remains in custody, didnt hear any family comment.

Michele Hundley Smith, who went missing from Eden, North Carolina on December 9, 2001, has been found alive. The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office says detectives made contact with her in North Carolina on February 20, 2026 and that she was located alive and well; she was later reunited with her daughter outside the Rockingham County courthouse on March 26, 2026.

Reports say she was taken into custody by Robeson County deputies at the request of Rockingham County for a 2001 DWI charge and appeared in Rockingham County District Court in late March. Investigators said a new lead helped locate her, and family members have said Michele asked that her whereabouts during the missing years remain private.

I’m relieved to hear she’s alive after so many years, it must have been overwhelming for her daughter and the family to finally get this answer.
