A reporter is always concerned with tomorrow. There's nothing tangible of yesterday. All I can say I've done is agitate the air ten or fifteen minutes and then boom - it's gone. Edward R. Murrow

Sometimes the passage of time is all a cold case -- one that has gone unsolved for years -- needs to generate heat.

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh Sherman quotes (American Civil War General and a major architect of modern warfare. 1820-1891)

Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: Alright, listen up, people. Our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground barring injuries is 4 miles-per-hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him. ..... From the movie "The Fugitive"

Simple looksee at the wrongoing within our criminal and civil Justice Systems. That which destroys the integrity of these United States.

".......production of a 'body' is not absolutely essential to convict, even in a murder case."

One rationale provided for the "no-body-required" rule is that a murderer should not be entitled to acquittal simply because he successfully disposes of a victim's body. "That is one form of success for which society has no reward."

Missing children are usually divided into eight categories: stranger abduction, accident, wandered off, parental abduction (custody and no-custody order), runaway, unknown, and other.

* Between 1980 and 2004, about 10,300 unidentified human remains were reported to the National Death Index (NDI). * Almost three-quarters of unidentified persons were reported by 5 states; Arizona, California, Florida, New York, and Texas. * Of the 2,900 National Crime Information Center records that contained data on the manner of death, 27% were ruled homicides; 12%, accidental deaths; 7%, natural causes; and 5%, suicides. * The majority of unidentified persons were white (70%); blacks made up 15% of unidentified persons; and race could not be determined in 13% of the cases.

The victim is anonymous. No one came forward to identify her body and she was buried in a grave marked "Jane Doe," another victim of an unsolved crime forgotten by most. Yet she had a life; she had a future that was brutally taken from her and as so many others like her, she deserves to be remembered, not for her death, but for her life.

"I feel much more enthusiastic about the case simply because we're getting a lot of government cooperation," Smith said. "We're getting the cooperation of the school district, if we do enough we will figure out who she is."'

Because she was so young, Larkie was sure she would be quickly identified, probably by a concerned mother. He was wrong. Today....the girl remains a Jane Doe.

"WE HAVE TO FIND THE HAYSTACK, BEFORE WE CAN FIND THE NEEDLE IN THAT HAYSTACK" J. B. Kline , Galveston County Sheriff.

Gearen, a legal secretary, and her 2-year-old daughter, Kyra, were staying with friends at a beach house on Crystal Beach on July 14 when Gearen walked outside a little more than a minute ahead of her friends at 11:56 p.m., Tuttoilmondo said. The friends heard a gate at the top of the stairs close and she was gone by the time they reached the bottom of the steps. "It happened in a minute and a half," Tuttoilmondo said. "She just vanished from this earth." Campers discovered Gearen's body in the surf about 6:30 a.m. The autopsy showed she had been raped, beaten and strangled, but investigators believe she put up a fight, said sheriff's Lt. Tommy Hansen, the lead investigator. TIPS: bridgettegearen2008@gmail .com

1894: Harry Conkrite, whom he arrested in Toledo. Conkrite is known by a dozen aliases and is said to be a brother of the notorious Three Fingered Jack, one of the leaders ot the Dalton gang. The prisoner in Stewart's charge was a young man and was as mild-natured as possible. When the reporters questioned the marshal Conkrite said, "I'd rather you would have nothing in the papers about this," but when the officer continued his conversation without noticing, that remark the supposed desperado gazed quietly out of the car window in supreme indifference.

Investigators probing the discovery of at least 13 sets of human bones buried on Albuquerque's west mesa have set up a telephone tip line seeking information on the case. The number will be in operation 24 hours a day at 1-877-APD-SOLV (1-877-765-8273), Officer Nadine Hamby of the Albuquerque Police Department said. Extra detectives will be answering phones from noon to midnight on Wednesday and Thursday, she said.

'He (Appellant) is impulsive and very easily frustrated. His judgment is extremely poor due to his faulty emotional development. He fails to appreciate the foolish, almost ludicrous quality of * * * (his) reasoning * * *.

He passed what he thought was a yellow truck. Then he heard Hammond scream again. "When she screamed at me out the window," he said, "I put it in reverse and started chasing him. " Shafer chased the truck about a mile, he said, racing south on Clinton's 2nd Street, then turning west on Culvert Drive. But his car's transmission failed, Shafer said, and the pickup - maybe a 1969 or 1970 Ford - sped away. The truck may have had a decal of a water scene on the back window. Hammond has not been seen since. Police found her car in the parking lot that night, said Clinton Detective Damon Parsons.

Alphonse Bertillon was a file clerk for the French police. He aspired to find a way to identify repeat offenders, even if they tried to use false names. During the late 1870s, as offenders were arrested, he used a tape measure and calipers to take eleven to fourteen seperate measurements, from the length of the foot to the width of the jaw to the distance between the eyes, classifying each person as small, medium, or large and recording the measurements on cards placed in categories. After measuring almost two thousand men, he found a repeat offender he was able to identify by measurements even though the man was using a false identity. The police adopted this method for a short time.

The first three girls all disappeared in 1969, in the last two weeks of May. Ten-year-old Mary Mount, in a pink top and shorts, was last seen chasing her kitten in New Canaan. Dawn Cave, a blond-haired, blue- eyed 14-year-old, stormed out of her Bethany home after a fight with her sister. Diane Toney, 11, wearing a green polka-dot dress, was watching a parade in New Haven. The fourth girl, the youngest, was taken 16 months later. Five-year-old Jennifer Noon disappeared in September 1970 while walking home from her New Haven school to eat lunch. Four little girls, all snatched near their homes, all beaten to death with rocks, all dumped in wooded areas. Four killings, three decades old, none of them solved. At least not as far as the public knows.

Found near the skeleton were a pair of Capri pants, a white cardigan wool sweater, and several items of underclothing. All were of common, mass manufacture. Miss X was not buried, but remained in a prone position on the ground for 9 to 12 months it is estimated.

The basic idea of a criminal profile was to acquire a body of information that revealed a common pattern for a general description of an UNSUB (unknown subject) in terms of habit, possible employment, martial status, mental state, and personality traits. Probing for an experiential assessment of a criminal from a series of crime scenes involved a detailed victimology — learning significant facts about the victim's life, especially in the days and hours leading up to his or her death. Their movements were mapped and investigators study all of their personal communications for signals to where they may have crossed paths with a viable suspect..........Hazelwood viewed sex offenders as either impulsive or ritualistic. Impulsive offenders were opportunistic and generally of lower intelligence and economic means, and their sexual behavior often served power or anger needs. Ritualistic offenders, on the other hand, indulged in paraphilias and compulsive behaviors that satisfied a specific psychological need. As they centered their lives around this activity, they learned to lie and manipulate in order to keep it hidden from others and secretly active ....FROM CRIMELIBRARY

The mind of a killer; The Fight or Flight Syndrome ( Cannon - 1917 )is involved in most homicides : the remainder are premeditated or predatory in singular and predatory serial murders, singular being retributive, serial being psychopathic.

The distinction between MO and signature, is in the intent. Actions considered consistent with MO can be linked to one of three intended purposes; 1) to ensure the offender's success in committing the crime; 2) to obscure or otherwise protect the offender from being readily identified or; 3) to facilitate or effect the offender's escape. Actions discovered during an investigation which fall into one or more of these categories can be ascribed as MO.
