Double Homicide: Paul Murdaugh, 22 & his mother Maggie Murdaugh, 52 - June 2021

This case is being kept pretty quiet, no major details released to speak of (other than it does say there were two different guns used), but no info regarding who found them, who called 911, very little else. Of interest, the grandfather died just a few days after these murders and it sounds as if he was ill from various articles so probably not unexpected. I think of the typical motives, did grandpa have a big estate? How big in the overall family of grandpa's on down? They sound like a...

NICK CORDOVA: Murdered in Gilbert, AZ on 27 May 2020 - Suspects still at large!

I think I had only and maybe heard a blip about this case. I just watched a podcast of Linda - It's a Crime which I will share here.

One key thing is there is a very, very clear photo of one of the alleged suspects right after the murder at a gas...

THOMAS VALVA: 8-year-old killed in Long Island, NY - January 2020 - Father (NYC Police Officer) & Stepmother Charged

This is one of those child cases that are hard to read about. However, for some reason it is not getting much MSM coverage and little from Youtubers as well, I am unsure why since it certainly has, sadly, the elements to make it major news. It is not a new case but again, it is not getting a whole lot of coverage. This article today is not the start of the case by any means. It does give a bit of a recap though. Read to the ending, the end says plenty about the two charged just with...
