True Crime Community Forums & Cold Case Discussion

I just don't understand how a person does this? Hunting total strangers. Go elk or deer hunting. It makes no sense to me.

Murdered: 2024-07-30

Hey everyone, I've been following the tragic case of William "Curry" Sprinkle Jr., and I wanted to take a moment to discuss something that's been weighing on my mind. It seems like this incident has understandably stirred a lot of concerns about safety, especially with it happening so close to East Surry High School. I can't even imagine how the students and parents must have felt with such chaos unfolding nearby.
Even though authorities have assured that the school wasn't directly involved, it makes me think about how important it is to have crisis response plans in place for schools. The mere fact that they had to block off the entrance during the investigation must have been unsettling for everyone involved. It's a reminder of how valuable our local law enforcement and emergency services are in handling these tough situations promptly and effectively.
It's just deeply sad to think about what Curry's family, especially his wife Chelsea and their kids, are going through right now. Losing a loved one so suddenly is devastating, and the community really needs to come together to support them. I hope the ongoing investigation brings clarity and justice soon. Meanwhile, let's keep discussing constructive ways to ensure the safety of our neighborhoods and schools. Be safe, everyone.

What an absolute monster. How is it possible people can do this?

Tyna Bass

Has anyone else looked into the area around the Freedom Barkway Dog Park where Tyna was found? It’s haunting to think that she was left there in such a state, and I keep wondering if someone in the neighborhood might have seen something that night. Given that she was known to ride her bike around the area, it’s possible that someone might have seen her or even noticed something suspicious. I can't help but feel for her friends and family, the uncertainty must be incredibly hard on them. Hopefully, someone comes forward soon. Let’s keep Tyna’s story alive and do what we can to support the investigation.

Thank you .

Pamela Marie Lowande

Has anyone else been following the Pamela Lowande case out of Winchester, VA? I recently heard that a suspect, Jason Matthew William Bowen, has been arrested. It's a relief to see some movement in this case, although it doesn't bring Pamela back. I came across a mention of a memorial service that was held for her, and it sounds like there was such an outpouring of love from the community. It’s just devastating to think about what her family and friends have been going through since this tragedy. Has anyone heard more about the possible motive or relationship between Pamela and Bowen? Just trying to understand what happened and why. Sending love and strength to all those who knew and loved her.

Pamela Marie Lowande

All the men involved were married! with kids

What were they thinking? I just don't understand.

Joshua Daniel Carter

It's so chilling to learn more about the connection between Bowen, Lowande, and Carter. I was reading through the court documents, and what really struck me was the fact that Bowen's DNA was found on the shell casings. That's such a crucial piece of evidence. It makes you wonder about the mental state he must have been in and what led him down this path. How terrifying it must be for the families and friends of Joshua and Pamela to process this kind of betrayal from someone who was once considered a colleague—and, in Pamela's case, even more personal given their past relationship. My heart goes out to them as they continue to seek justice and closure in all this. How are they holding up as the trial date slowly approaches?

Even more heartbreaking that Pam was sleeping with Married men. Men that have a loving family at home with kids. Even worse she knew they were married

I've been following the tragic case of Joe David Estrada, and something that’s really been on my mind is the impact this senseless loss has had on his family and friends. Reading their online tributes, it's clear how loved he was. It makes you think about the vibrant person beyond the headlines and crime reports—a father, son, or friend whose life was cut short. I can't even begin to comprehend the pain his loved ones are facing during this time. Being caught in this nightmare while the case remains unsolved must be beyond difficult. The frustration over the lack of suspect details only adds to the grief. I hope that people in the community continue to come forward with any information they might have. Joe’s loved ones deserve answers and justice, and my heart goes out to all who knew him. Let's keep them in our thoughts and keep sharing his story—it might just make a difference.

I really hope someone comes forward with information. Sometimes it just takes time because time makes things seem more safe or distant. I am praying for you and for your family.

Daniel Croft

Hey everyone,
I've been following Daniel Croft's case for a while, and something that's been on my mind is the lack of digital trails. Normally, in today's world, having no phone or vehicle really complicates searches, right? I'm curious if anyone knows if he was a regular at any local spots or if he had a routine. Sometimes, people can leave clues in the most mundane daily habits. Also, does anyone think this could've been a planned disappearance considering these factors? Just throwing thoughts around because this whole situation has been baffling, and it feels like some puzzle piece is missing. Anyone else have theories or info on this aspect?

Daniel Croft

It was planned

Daniel Croft

What makes you think it was planned?

Daniel Croft

I know it was planned. Not my story to say more.

Daniel Croft

Hopefully it is a happy ending. Sometimes people need to escape toxic situations.

Herbert Arnold

In 1994, he escaped from Mid-Hudson Psychiatric Center in New York alongside another convicted killer, John Casablanca. During the escape, the pair reportedly took a hospital employee hostage before releasing him unharmed. Authorities warned the public that both men were dangerous, and the manhunt ended about a week later when they were captured in Brooklyn.

That escape seems to be the last major public moment in Arnold’s known story. After his recapture, he appears to have returned to institutional custody, but there does not seem to be a widely available, well-documented account of his final years, death, or current status. That makes his “end” less dramatic than some cases, but also more unsettling. Instead of a clear ending, Arnold’s story seems to disappear behind the walls of the criminal justice and mental health systems.

Herbert Arnold

He was clearly a very disturbed man. I am glad they captured him again.
