investigation
Whodunnit, and why? All about criminal investigations and the forensic methods used to search for clues and collect evidence to get to the bottom of the crime.
No Genes Allowed
He would have gotten away with it, if it was not for your meddling DNA. It has been heavily improving the law enforcement role. Forensic scientists have gone from collecting only evidence to now collecting DNA-matching suspects through their families. More reasons why this new technology has become important: because it could put an end to cold cases, cause fear in others for them not to commit crimes, and it could help the victims of families get the closure they need.

Something Wicked (Part 1)
Something Wicked This Way Comes was written by Ray Bradbury in 1963. It tells the story of teenaged boys, who are enticed by a traveling carnival that comes to their town. It's a nightmarish experience, and both of the boys must learn to combat their own fear, and make it out of the fantasy Mr. Dark has created for them. Mr. Dark seemingly holds the power to grant the deepest desires of his patrons, and that draws his victims to him, allowing him to take over their lives and their bodies. In the end, the hero not only survives, but is able to save others. The novel was born in the imagination of a young boy, enthralled by a magician in a traveling carnival show. Far too often, and for reasons we will never understand, life imitates art, people go missing. Lifeless bodies are found in deserted places, or never found at all. What happens when something wicked comes your way? Would you know what to do?

Memoirs of a Dope Man (Pt. 4)
At 17, I figured that my mailbox posting days were over. It was my spot indeed, but you would never see me there unless you were one of my loyal customers, other than that I'm checking the mail for all they knew. Things started to get hectic after a shootout and robbery happened at one of my acquaintance's spots and murder right in front of the complex where a man was gunned down in his car with his five-year-old son, the pot was boiling over. I decided to switch speed and get off of the corner for the moment. My only addiction to anything in life was to never be one with empty pockets. Delivering a product which is in very high demand for a quick and high return became very addictive to me as soon as I got the fundamentals of it down pact I took flight, I was always smart enough to know when to land.

High School, Pot Brownies, and False Accusations
Cassville R-IV school district in Cassville, MO has a well thought out website. It's clean, crisp, and shows smiling students and faculty. It's probably a school that if you were moving, you'd consider it for your children.

Real Talk
Abortion is a topic that everyone is passionate about. One side says it's a woman's body, thus her right to choose. The other side says that life begins at conception, and abortion is murder. What we, as a society, don't often hear is what the fathers of the unborn children have to say about it. Are they given a choice? Sadly, fathers are not given a choice. If the mother wants an abortion, there is nothing a helpless and hopeless father can do to stop the death of the life he helped create. What happens when a father decides to fight for his rights? In a case filed in the Madison County, Alabama court system, nineteen-year-old Ryan Magers of Hunstville asked the following:

John Wayne Gacy—No Single Thing Made Him a Killer
Quite often when I read about serial killers, or violence in general, people wish to find a simple explanation for the behavior. In John Wayne Gacy's case, his abusive father was certainly an influence, but probably not the sole one. I can't help but notice how, officially anyway, he didn't become a serial killer until some time after he served in prison. Could that have been part of what sent him over the edge? It could be he had negative experiences with his fellow inmates, and that his overall experience in prison made him hate the human race more.

Heart Rake
Remember when Donald Trump told California officials that if they raked the forest, the wildfires would stop? It's a thing that really happened, it became a meme. Outside of the lunacy that a rake would stop a wildfire, Todd Mullis may have given them another reason to not listen to Trump. Mullis is charged with killing his wife, Amy Mullis, with a corn rake. And as with so many victims before her, Amy seemed to know that Todd was aiming to snuff the life out of her.

Hoop Where Is He?
Rico Harris always made an impression. If not for his athletic ability, he was recruited by the NBA after he graduated high school, then for his sheer size. At 6'9", Rico would tower over most people. The gentle giant also had some big issues though, including an addiction problem that would taint most of his adult life. Things seemed to be looking up before Rico disappeared altogether.
