January 4th: Gary Krueger Kills (2001) DNA has made it possible to connect even the most disconnected cases. On January 4th 2001 a man was killed and his case quickly went cold. That was, until, a completely unrelated attack gave investigators the DNA possible to connect, not just these two cases, but a handful of others.  http://www.truecrimediary.com/index.cfm?page=cases&id=135, https://www.kiro7.com/news/seattle-union-boss-murder/246804733/#:~:text=Before%20detectives%20could%20ask%20why,attorney%2C%20James%20Barry%20as%20well.,https://www.chinookobserver.com/news/local/part-two-of-two-naselle-noir/article_52a20879-e2f3-5f01-8741-2b8fb63f368c.html,https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/family-lives-in-fear-a-year-after-attempted-home-invasion/, https://www.huffpost.com/entry/very-bad-men-realtor-vietnam-vet-video_n_2022102, https://www.ticklethewire.com/2011/05/11/dna-sample-that-could-have-solved-washington-state-murder-languished-in-fbi-lab-for-3-12-years/, https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/9ndly0/low_risk_types_who_appear_to_be_murdered_for_no/ Learn more about your ad choices.

January 2nd: Joseph McVay Kills (2011) There comes a time in every parent's life when your child bucks up to you and refuses to do as you ask. A time where your arguments get a little too loud and emotions can get the better of you. For the most part, it’s temporary and, after exchanging apologies and deep conversations, everything goes back to normal and love comes out on top. This, of course, isn’t always the case. On January 2nd 2011 a young boy, in the heat of an argument, did the unthinkable to the mother who was scolding him.

December 30th: Gun Alley Murder (1921) With forensics always changing and evolving it stands to reason that some cases that happened in years past can and do have much different outcomes. Cases where an innocent person was sent to prison, or to death, for a crime that they did not commit. On December 30th 1921 a young girl was raped and murdered by the local owner of a wine saloon. Or, at least, that’s what the public thought. But it would take 90 years, and a lot of pushing, for the courts, and the world, to see how wrong those forensics were all those years ago.  Wikipedia, ergo.slv.vic.gov.au, justicedenied.org, emelbourne.net.au, artsandculture.google.com, abc.net.au, brightoncemetery.com Learn more about your ad choices.

December 29th: Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman Disappeared (1999) Some stories are linear, straight forward, and leave little room for error. Others are like taking out boxes of puzzles and throwing them all down at the same table. Where, even when it all seems solved, there still seems to be so many unanswered questions. On December 29th 1999 2 young girls were last seen celebrating a momentous occasion together. Two girls who, still to this day, have yet to be found.  Wikipedia, insideedition.com, unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com, joplinglobe.com, oxygen.com, fox23.com, tulsaworld.com Learn more about your ad choices.
