Cleveland, Ohio – On Thursday, police went to the home of convicted rapist Anthony Sowell, 50, to execute an arrest and search warrant stemming from a rape and felonious assault against a woman in early OctoberOctober reviews.

Putnam County, FL – Can this case get any weirder? I believe it can. And will. New information is being released that points to the fact that maybe, just maybe, Misty was not in the trailer the night Haleigh disappeared. To some, that would come as no big surprise. On Tuesday, investigators on the case released details of an interview conducted with Hank “TommyTommy reviews” Croslin Jr., Misty’s 23-year-old brother. Hank, behind bars on unrelated charges of grand theft, allegedly told detectives that he had been to the Cummings’ trailer the night that Haleigh vanished into thin air, under Ronald Cummings’ direction, but nobody answered the door. Why is he coming forward with this information 7 months after the fact? Your guess is as good as mine. [Read more...]

New Haven, Conn - I know the news has been all over this one already, but there are two reasons why I am posting this. Obviously, the first being that they have found the body of 24-year-old Annie Le. She was the Yale student who went missing after entering a Yale University laboratory on Tuesday morning.

Tulsa, OK- My child came up missing once when he was 4 years old. He was on the back patio playing. I went in to get him some juice and when I came back out, he was gone. I panicked. I couldn’t believe he disappeared that freaking quick. I immediately ran around the side of the building to find his bicycle lying on the ground next to the road and no sign of him. It felt like the world stopped spinning. The playground was empty, the parking lot deserted, and the eerie stillness that hung in the air that sunny morning surrounded me like a heavy fog of despair. I immediately called 911 while I banged on my neighbors’ doors, desperate to end one of my worst nightmares. He was found a short time later inside the house of his friend and I cannot begin to express the overwhelming relief and joy that rushed through my body. I imagine the parents of a 2-year old girl who disappeared on Wednesday evening experienced everything I did, except for when they learned where their child was found. [Read more...]
