Gladys Machado and her two young daughters were found brutally murdered in the closet of their home earlier this month. In a story that garnered immediate national attention, the story had all the elements of a prime-time crime mystery, but the difference was that it was real, and it was right in...

Two days ago (November 8, 2012) a package delivered by UPS was stolen from my front door area. Unfortunately for the criminals who committed this act, they were caught on surveillance camera from two different angles. In fact, it looks as though the driver realized that at the end, as the car...

America reelected President Barack Obama last night in a collective voice that outnumbered those who stand on the wrong side of history. Is there really anything more to say? America spoke. Democracy worked. Four more years!

Ann Coulter is always controversial, but she upset a rather vocal interest group when she called President Obama a 'retard' on her Twitter account. Naturally she has no regrets in saying the word, and why would she? As stated before, she's always controversial, so if she's getting negative...

A billboard launched by American Atheists targets Mormonism by pointing out the fact that blacks weren't allowed in the church until the late 1970s and that homosexuals are still barred. Of course it's hard to find coverage of this story that isn't written by someone who is wildly uneducated and...

It's believed that whoever murdered Jessica Ridgeway may have left the wooden cross you see pictured to the left. As you can see, this cross is rugged and wooden with a hole drilled in it to be worn as a pendant of sorts. Otherwise, there really isn't anything impressive about the item. Still, it...

Why isn't the Kortne Stouffer disappearance getting the coverage it used to get? The case isn't even six months old yet and it seems that the media doesn't care one way or the other about the woman's disappearance. The 21-year-old woman, from Palmyra, Penn., vanished from her apartment leaving...

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with longtime professionals in the field, though, right? The following post is an outline of who I think murdered the 10-year-old Westminster girl, and while it may seem to complement the...

I don't know what to think about the mother of Jessica Ridgeway. While I'm still more or less believing that someone kidnapped the little girl, the comments made by her mother in a recent media interview are perplexing. In fact, they're so perplexing that other media reports are pointing out the...

The summer of 2012 was a disturbing one with several homicides, both unsolved and solved, as well as an uncountable number of missing persons. This post will highlight a couple of the cases that I consider to be "memorable" (in my opinion), focusing on murders. Some of these cases are solved and...

Image via CrunchBase As I was finishing up my last post titled Is Self Publishing Better Than Traditional Publishing, I had a random memory of writing McArticles for Demand Media Studios. It's been a long time since I'd written an article about just writing and not something about crime. In fact, I believe it's been since I last wrote for Demand, and not too long after I sent them the...
