Terri Horman And Cold Cases And Lies

So very interesting. Forty years after one of the most heinous crimes committed in Maryland, that of the kidnap and murder of Sheila and Katherine Lyon, ten and twelve year old Montgomery County girls, a man named Lloyd Lee Welch is charged with two counts of murder. This involves two states; Maryland and Virginia. After much evidence gathering and testimony from witnesses and potential witnesses, one man, so far, has been charged in this case. There is even a multi-state grand jury meeting at least once a month to go over evidence. Many Marylanders, who remember this case from 1975, doubted that it would ever be resolved.

What does this have to do with Terri Horman and her gang of merry scofflaws? She is the sometime step parent of another missing child, Kyron Horman. Kyron was seven years old when he was last seen leaving his school in Portland, Oregon with Terri Horman in June of 2010. This happened just as school commenced for the day, around 9:00 AM, and no one, least of all, Terri, reported him missing until after 3:00 PM. Days have stretched into weeks and months, which, in turn, have stretched into years...five years. There is also a grand jury that convenes for Kyron every once in a while, to review any new tips and go over existing evidence.

Terri Horman, her parents, and her friends and other et els do not appear to take the search and investigation for Kyron Horman very seriously. A few of them have been subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury to answer questions about the case. Rather than assist in the investigation, they stall and assert fifth amendment rights, claiming that they will incriminate themselves if they answer simple questions about the day Kyron disappeared. A certain amount of misinformation has been deliberately generated by this crowd, too.

The case of the Lyon sisters, mentioned above, also involves people who covered for each other, over the years, and lied to the grand jury when it convened. A major difference, however; is that forty years went by prior to the culmination of the investigation and the charging of the individual thought to be primarily responsible for the disappearance and subsequent deaths of those two girls. Yet the truth is just as esteemed by investigators and the rest of the population as it was forty years ago; but this came as a surprise to those asked for the truth. They thought that because so many years had passed, no one would care about Sheila and Katherine Lyon anymore. They also thought that the passage of time somehow erased the need for accountability. So they went to court, when summoned by the grand jury, and lied their asses off. In December of last year, Patricia Welch was arrested after one such lie, and is due in court in October. Last week, her brother, Leslie Engleking, her grandchild, Amy Welch Johnson, and her husband's sister, Gladys Stangee, were also arrested for lying and attempting to hide the truth. Amy Welch Johnson was not even born in 1975, when the crime occurred, so the reader should be able to grasp the importance of the truth, here, during a criminal investigation. What does all this have to do with Terri Horman and her gang of merry scofflaws? They should study this case carefully, and take note of the precedent set by a multi-state grand jury of holding anyone who obstructs justice accountable. Because the Lyon sisters' case involves two different states, the precedent set reaches the federal level, and can be used in Oregon, as well. Virginia is now trying a criminal case for obstruction of justice against a person who was not even born when the crime under investigation was committed. This should send a very clear message to those who would cover for Terri Horman: the truth is important enough to lock up a liar, even after forty years. The truth is even important enough to lock up someone who wasn't yet born at the time of the crime, but knows about it, nonetheless. Are you paying attention, Terri Horman?

To A Witness In A Cold Case

When I saw this poem by John Trudell, I thought about you. I hadn't seen or heard from you in years, and wondered what you were doing. Imagine my shock when I found you left of center field of a cold case that has broken many hearts over the years. You must be the strongest, bravest witness there is, because many people would have broken under the strain. Don't let anyone threaten you; don't let anyone push you around. I know you, and I know you bring the truth.

Jailhouse Confession In Lyon Sisters Case

Does anyone remember March 25, 1975, when Sheila and Katherine Lyon, of Maryland, disappeared from Wheaton Plaza? Almost forty years have gone by, with virtually nothing in the way of answers, then a tip was suddenly shared late in 2013. Information and testimony led law enforcement away from Maryland and into Thaxton Virginia, specifically, Taylor's Mountain. Several sites were examined and dug up, and a woman named Patricia Welch was arrested in Virginia for lying to the grand jury about the case.  The newest tidbit of information is that a couple of days ago, a Delaware prisoner by the name of Lloyd Lee Welch admitted that he was a passenger in the car that left Wheaton Plaza with the girls!

After forty years, a backhanded confession. Lloyd Lee Welch still does not admit any contact with them after leaving Wheaton Plaza in the same car with both girls, but by the end of the first day they were missing, it's almost certain that he knew police were searching for them. So why didn't he share his informational gem in 1975? A response from Mr. Welch is not anticipated, as he currently sits in prison because of his inappropriate and unlawful approach to prepubescent girls. He also gave an account to law enforcement in 1975 about the whole thing, omitting, of course, the part about his own presence in the getaway car. A polygraph that was administered at the time indicated that Mr. Welch was deceptive. The only reason he was taken terribly seriously in recent efforts has to do with his intimate knowledge of certain details about this case; the few details that are possessed by law enforcement.

It has also been clarified in recent days that at least one set of remains has been recovered from a dig site on Taylor's Mountain. The process of identifying the remains is still in the works, and hopefully, John and Mary Lyon will get some answers about what happened to their daughters almost forty years ago.

An Arrest Concerning The Missing Lyon Sisters

There is now an arrest in connection to the missing Lyon sisters, who disappeared in Maryland in 1975, after walking to Wheaton Plaza, but it is not the arrest for which so many of us had hoped. Instead of a perpetrator and direct answers, after almost forty years, the wife of a "person of interest" decided to lie to the grand jury in Virginia about a matter that is of material importance to the case. Richard Welch, of Hyattsville, Maryland, has been named a person of interest in this case, along with his jailbird nephew, Lloyd Lee Welch. Some land owned by their family, in Bedford, Virginia, has come onto the radar of authorities in the recent past, and witnesses who know the involvements of these two men have been asked to testify. Now Patricia Welch, Richard Welch's wife, has been arrested for testifying falsely in the case. Some have argued that spousal privilege should apply in Welch's case when answering questions about a matter involving her husband, but there is also at least one other person of interest, and no one has yet been charged. The only person Ms. Welch has a legal right to protect at this point in the investigation is herself, yet if she does that, there is a chance that she will incur closer scrutiny. She really should have consulted an attorney about any conflicting or untrue testimony. If she has guilty knowledge, or had decided, on her own, when, or if, the Lyons could have long overdue information concerning their missing daughters, and was still using her own timetable for sharing it, authorities will hopefully throw the book at her.

People who think they do not have to comply with federal law, especially concerning testimony related to crimes against children, are disgusting. Anyone who can help in this case should call the police in Montgomery County, Maryland at 240-773-5070.

Conviction In Maria Ridulph 1957 Murder

Justice has finally been served for Maria Ridulph, of this post. She disappeared in Illinois, in 1957, and was later found murdered. A young man named John McCullough was among the original suspects, but his mother lied for him in order to pervert justice and help her son get away with murder. He spent the next fifty-five years using more than one alias and hopping from one geographical area to another. It is particularaly disturbing that he was able to serve in Seattle as a police officer. He lied under oath to become a cop; how many other times could he have lied? Did he kill other people besides Maria? How many false arrests has he made?

 

Seventy-two years old, but going to jail anyway.

 

Instead Of A Cold Case For Terri Horman

It's Monday, and in response to Terri Horman's refusal to work with police in Portland, Oregon to assist in locating her nine year old stepson, Kyron Horman, who disappeared on June 4, 2010 from Skyline Elementary, I usually post about a cold case that occured some time in this country and was solved at a much later date, after going cold. Not only do I give Terri Horman something to find when she googles her name online to see how famous she is, I give myself a chance to run pictures of Kyron again, in hopes that the right person will see them and recognize him. Today, I am going to do something a little bit different.

Someone I know, who is also hoping to see Kyron found safe and back home with his parents, recently put together some some pictures of how Kyron might look with different hairstyles, hair colors, and with and without glasses. Chances are, if someone is hiding him, Kyron does not look the same as he looked when he went missing. Over the weekend, I posted those "possible" looks on this blog. And now, I've gotton a request to reiterate the idea expressed in those posts with this video, and also a request to reiterate the point made in this post: http://siriunsun.blogspot.com/2011/10/update-on-lisa-irwin.html, specifically, if you work at a clinic, daycare, or school, please check birth certificates, court orders, and all other ID to make certain that the child actually IS the person he is presented as, and that the adult who accompanys him truly has custody. Once again, thankyou, Jonathan.

Here's A Cold Case For You, Terri Horman

It's Monday, the day when I regale Terri Horman, stepmother of nine year old Kyron Horman, who disappeared in June of 2010, when he was seven years old, with a story about a cold case from American history that was solved. It is my hope, not only to give Terri something to find when she googles herself on the internet, but to also show everyone a picture of Kyron, one more time, in hopes that someone may recognize him so that he can finally go home to his parents, Kaine Horman and Desiree Young.

Here's Kyron, showing how he looks from a side profile. Most of his pictures show him smiling, but if he is seen out in public, he will probably look more natural, like he does in this picture. Possibly sporting a different hairstyle.

Ok....Terri....for today's cold case; have you ever heard of John Wayne Gacy, a serial killer who used to live in Florida? There were, at one time, a lot of cold cases connected to him. Now, there are about eight. But the cold case of  Harold Wayne Lovell, who left home in May, 1977, and was not seen by his family again for thirty-four years, just got solved. Since no one could find him, and the serial killer who murdered dozens of other men in Florida during the 1970's was finally arrested in 1978, it was assumed that Lovell was one of Gacy's victims, and no one bothered to look for him anymore. Seriously......that's kinda disconcerting.....because Lovell was STILL ALIVE. He was not one of Gacy's victims at all! Gacy was given the death penalty, and was executed in 1994. Since then, Florida has been identifying the unidentified victims, one by one, taking advantage of updated DNA technology. In one last attempt to identify their brother's remains, Lovell's siblings went to the police station to offer DNA that could be compared to Gacy's yet unidentified victims, but they noticed a recent booking photo on the wall.........................even though they had not seen their brother in thirty-four years, they were certain it was him. His name, and every other bit of information the police had about him matched up! So instead of a belated funeral, Mr. Lovell got a bus ticket home! He had just not contacted anyone because he didn't have the greatest family relationships in 1977, and mistakenly thought no one wanted to hear from him.............

So how could this possibly relate to you, Terri? I don't know....hopefully, it doesn't. But know this: Kyron's picture is much more widely circulated than Harold Wayne Lovell's picture. Yet it only took one look at Lovell's picture by the right person, even after thirty-four years, for Lovell to be recognized. Someday, someone will find Kyron. I don't know how it will happen, I don't know when it will happen; but I do know that many, many people want Kyron found. To date, Terri, YOU, and YOUR PARENTS, and possibly your biological son and your attorney are the only people involved in Kyron's life who have not acted with any obvious desire for Kyron to come home. This is why I address all of these cold cases to you. If you know something, I think you need to come forward, Terri.

This Is Interesting, Terri Horman

It's Monday again, and on Monday, I usually give Terri Horman, who googles her name from time to time, something to find when she looks for herself online. I usually do this via description of a cold case, and how it got solved. Terri's stepson, Kyron Horman, disappeared on June 4, 2010, from his school, and that has, unfortunately become a cold case; so by doing this, I give myself an avenue to run his picture online one more time, in hopes that someone will recognize him.

This is Kyron, looking at something that appears to be a decorated Easter egg, with a natural expression on his face. I am hoping that authorities will run an age progressed picture of him, soon. But more fervently, I am hoping he will be found before authorities have to run an age progressed picture of him. He has been missing for way too long of a time.

Here's this Monday's cold case, Terri: in 1970, a woman named Mary Rivera, of Texas, got mad at her husband and threw some boiling cooking oil on him. While plenty of us have had husbands that are worth a certain amount of anger, this is clearly domestic violence, unless it is done in self defense; but even then, there are other ways to handle this type of situation, besides feeding the violence. Even back in 1970.................................

Mary's husband was burned so severely that he died of his injuries. At that point, it became abundantly clear that Mary would face charges of some type of manslaughter, rather than just assualt. So she fled Texas and hid out in Georgia for forty-one years. Fast forwarding to now: one of her kids ran his mouth when the police asked nosy questions, and now she is back in the pokey, awaiting a court date. She has bad health, too, but since she is obviously a flight risk, she's not going anywhere today.

So what's this got to do with you, Terri? Hopefully, nothing. Seriously. I truly hope that Kyron's disappearance is custodial interferance on the part of one of his biological parents. That is Kyron's best chance of being alive, still, at this late date. But if this is the case, why are you not saying anything? Kaine is obviously not being very nice to you, Terri. If he has hidden Kyron from Desiree, why not just tell authorities how you know that, or why you think that? You and Kaine were not together for long, but still, in my opinion, long enough for you to notice a few things about his life. Or; conversely, if this was an action of Desiree, (much LESS likely for many reasons) why would you let the situation keep you prisoner in your parents' house, rob you of career opportunities, ruin your life, and take Kiara's mother away from her? If you are innocent, you do not owe those things to anyone. This is probably why the general public, myself included, maintains the opinion that you may have played a role in Kyron's disappearance. Just some food for thought, Terri.

Fourteen Years, Terri Horman's Cold Case

It's Monday again, time for me to remind Terri Horman, sometime step parent of Kyron Horman, pictured left, who disappeared from his school in Portand Oregon on June 4, 2010, about a cold case in recent American history that has been solved against all odds, and surprised everyone. I think I will depart, just this once, from crimes, but write about something that was found after fourteen years. I just read about this the other day, and I though it was cool beyond description.

In February of 1997, George Tereshkovich, of Texas, was aboard a ship, traveling with his wife. While near Australia, he put a message in a bottle, along with a business card with contact information from the college where he taught in 1997, and threw it into the water. Then, he never really gave it any thought again. Until April, of 2011. Would you believe, Terri, that the bottle was found, with the note and business card intact, on a beach in Australia, over six thousand miles away from where Tereshkovich threw it into the ocean? The couple contacted the school from which Tereshkovich had retired and had them find him. He was stunned that after fourteen years, someone had actually found that bottle.

My point is that I do not think Kyron will stay hidden forever, Terri. In fact, there really are no true secrets. Just as ocean currents seem to seek land, upon which to deposit objects that have been "lost" in their tides, the murky currents of of the collective human consciousness often seeks balence in similar fashion. If you were involved in Kyron's disappearance, someone knows about it. You may have been intimidated or counseled into silence; you may have intimidated or threatened someone else into silence, but do you really think details can or will stay hidden forever? Just look at Jaycee Dugard's case, or Shawn Hornbeck's case. The details and the victims stayed hidden for awhile, but not forever. Clues, cell phone records, DNA, fingerprints, eyewitness accounts, a message in a bottle.........you can count on the currents to put everything back, eventaully, on dry land.

A Cold Case Terri Horman Should See

It's Monday again, the day that I tell Terri Horman, defacto blame in the disappearance of Kyron Horman and sometime recluse, about a cold case in American history that got solved, against all odds, to the amazement of the community and the confounding of the guilty party. This one will be one that has not had any publicity since it was solved, and the suspect has been found guilty and sent to prison for life.

In 1991, a young man named Eddie Wingo, of Maryland, decided to sneak into open, first story bedroom windows of children in Rockville, Maryland, whose houses he had "cased", kidnap the children, molest them, and place them back into their bedrooms before morning. Seriously........Eddie Wingo must be crazy. But this is what he did. Since the children, two boys and one girl, were at home in their beds when their parents woke them up for school, they were not immediately believed when they each told a story of a man who came through the window, took them, and later put them back. But DNA told a story of molestation by a stranger in each case. Eddie was not caught right away, though.

Fast forward to November of 1994. Eddie did it again. Only this time, he cased out a house in Sterling, Virginia, where he worked for a contruction company. He used the same method of operation of sneaking in through an unlocked, lower story bedroom window, and kidnapped a six year old boy. He drove the little boy to Rockville, Maryland, and sexually assaulted him. But then, he apparently did not have enough time to get the little boy back home, to Sterling, Virginia, and take him back inside his house, through the window, without getting caught, so Eddie took the boy to a cemetery in Rockville and left him there! The little boy provided a description of Eddie Wingo, his vehicle, and all of the events, from when he was kidnapped to when he was left in Rockville. The DNA left on the boy told the rest of the story. It also matched DNA saved from the unsolved Maryland cases dating from 1991. It also matched Eddie Wingo, after they found his car and the child was able to identify him. Out of the mouths of babes.................Eddie Wingo's in prison now, for the rest of his life. His appeal didn't work out, either. He was also found guilty of the three other attacks on children.

The striking thing about these cold cases is this: the children who claimed that they were taken from their bedrooms via the open windows were initially not believed, because they were children. In actuality, their accounts of the incidents and their descriptions of Eddie Wingo and his vehicle were more accurate than adults' eyewitness accounts of crimes usually are. Eddie never thought he would get caught or go to jail because he was picking on children, and he thought no one would listen to what a little kid had to say. He was wrong. Kyron was abducted from his school. I am still convinced that one day, some wise person will start listening to some of the children, Terri, who were around Kyron the morning he went missing. It took three years to apprehend Eddie Wingo. Hopefully, it won't take that long to find Kyron.

      This is the general vicinity where Eddie Wingo abandoned his last victim. It's amazing that he really thought no one would ever figure out who did it. Below is Kyron Horman. Anyone with information about Kyron should contact the FBI immediately.                                   
                                                        

Another Cold Case For Terri Horman

It's Monday again. Already. And it's time for me to tell Terri Horman, stepmother of Kyron Horman and defacto kidnapping suspect, who will not cooperate with authorities and help find her stepson, about a cold case that baffled authorities but was solved either by painstaking detective work, statements made by witnesses, or just good, old fashioned luck. Here's a recent story; it's about a kiddie-porn perp. His name is  Eric Antwan Bell, and he apparently began his life of crime sometime in 2007. It came to the attention of law enforcement in Florida that he was using adult prostitutes (who sound like accomplices to me) to lure underage girls into his home. Then he would molest them, and film this activity. He made his living by selling this footage on the internet. But when victims helped police put together a profile, with a name and face.......something other than Santana, which he used as an anonymous moniker...........he fled. But he had connections to New York and New Jersey, and probably several other places up and down the East Coast, and since his trade involved selling kiddie porn online, he left an electronic trail. His pattern of abuse followed by victims' statements also spoke for itself. He was finally caught in New Jersey earlier this month, where he had moved and established residency.

So what do things like this have to do with people like you, Terri? Oh......I don't know. Perhaps nothing. But; if Kyron's kidnapper and any accomplices use the internet, or leave any type of personal or electronic trail anywhere, and everyone does-it's the nature of existance on this plane, details will eventually work their way into the open. The sooner Kyron comes home, the better it will be for everyone, including the person who took him.

                                                                    Eric Antwan Bell

                                                                         Kyron Horman

Monday, Yet Again, Terri Horman

It's Monday, the day when I regale Terri Horman, who googles her name every so often to see what she will find, with a tale of criminal idiocy, followed by almost successful coverup, but solved, either by methodical and brilliant police work, the conscience of an accomplice, the testimony of a witness, or blind, stupid luck. Since the matter of kidnap victims safely returned home is fresh on a lot of minds, thanks to Kienan Hebert's safe return, I have decided that today's cold case will be Michael Devlin's, who snatched Shawn Hornbeck , eleven, off of his bicycle in Missouri, in October of 2002. After a month of molesting and abusing Shawn, Michael decided to kill him, but at Shawn's pleadings, changed his mind. He did threaten Shawn with murder, though, if the truth ever came out. And so the situation went.....for over four years. Michael Devlin would present Shawn as his son, and Shawn stayed with him. Somehow, they eluded detection. Shawn's parents never gave up. Even when others presumed that Shawn was deceased, they still has hope that they would find him.

One day, in January of 2007, Michael Devlin decided to "enlarge" his family. He snatched another child, thirteen year old Ben Ownby. This time, however; there was a witness, who actually saw Devlin's white pick-up truck, (it's always a white pick-up truck, isn't it, Terri?) and told the police about it. There was also a cursory description of Devlin. A few days after afterward, police were in Devlin's neighborhood, serving paperwork to someone else in a matter completely unrelated to Devlin's crimes, when an officer noticed Devlin's white pick-up truck, and how much certain features it bore resembled the description given by the witness of the truck used in Ownby's kidnapping. It bore enough resemblence to justify a warrent in the state of Missouri, which, in turn, sparked a visit to Devlin's apartment, which, in turn, gave Shawn Hornbeck back his life and spared Ben Ownby from any more time with Michael Devlin.

Michael Devlin is now in prison, serving three life sentences. Occasionally, someone beats the crap out of him, because lots of people can't stand folks who victimize children; but then, if he had just left children alone, he wouldn't be in prison in the first place. So there you have it, Terri Horman. A cold case that was solved, just by a description from a witness and a police officer's observation. No one was truly expecting it.

                                          Michael Devlin, the creep who stole two children
                                            in Missouri and is serving three life sentences.

                                          Kyron Horman, who has been missing since June
                                                     of last year, and needs to come home.

Here Ya Go, Terri Horman

Ok, it's Monday! Time for another cold case for Terri Horman! When she googles her name today, I do not want her to be disappointed, so here ya go, Terri Horman..........William Walter Asher III. He was also known as Garry Donald Webb, and as David Donald McFee.  In 1966, he got into a barfight in San Fransisco, and killed someone. Instead of simply hiring an attorney and going to court, since it was pretty obvious that he was guilty, he fled, and got arrested in Chicago. Then, he went to court. He was found guilty and sentenced to seven years to life. That does not sound terribly harsh, compared to what he might have gotton in California now. It also does not sound harsh compared to what Charles Manson and his "family" got for sentences, but who knows? Perhaps his clean cut appearance made a difference to the courtly crowd back then. Here's some before and after pics:

This is William Walter Asher III., back in the days when mug shots were still often black and white. After escaping from prison, (he was actually in a work camp, which I find a naive decision, after he fled to Chicago in the first place) he started using the name Garry Donald Webb. He got married, had a family, and then apparently got divorced. Then he changed his name again. Was it to ditch his child support/alimony obligations, or was it to continue to dupe authorities? We may never know. But he decided that David Donald McFee was a much nicer sounding name. Then, he found another long term girlfriend, who, it seems, never knew he was wanted by the law. .........sigh..................

This unattractive loser is William Walter Asher III now. It's also Garry Donald Webb, and Donald David McFee, and anyone else he may have been over the years. One of his children actually looked for him, not knowing, in many ways, who she was actually looking for. There was one person who knew who and where he was though, and she had a SECRET cell phone number for him! (there's that cell phone reference again, Terri!) His mom! She knew where he was all those years! And just before she died, she wanted to talk to him, and inadvertantly and accidently divulged the secret cell phone number to the wrong person. Now, he's back in jail.

I came across this yesterday, Terri. If the FBI was still interested in something that happened back in 1966, and put the old fart in the picture back in jail, where he belonged, all the way through time in 2011, don't you think they will do the same to you, if they find you have either harmed Kyron, or protected someone who has? Just let him come home.

Monday Morning Cold Case For Terri Horman

This week has certainly gone by fast! It's already Monday, time for yours truly to tell Terri Horman, our favorite defact kidnapping suspect, about a cold case that has left law enforcement befuddled for altogether too long, only to be solved by a forthcoming witness, new technology, or just blind, stupid luck. Today's case is about a man named Steven Carlson, who, as a teenage boy, seemed to think he could do whatever he pleased. I'll start with a mugshot of his ugly mug:

 It seems that one day back in 1984, he decided that it would be a good day to bully and murder a classmate named Tina Faelz. She was found, and the whole community in the Santa Cruz area was stunned, but he didn't get caught while committing the murder, and there wasn't any evidence that could link him to the crime. At least, not yet. But......the FBI was involved, and Terri, I know this has been said to you before, and I am going to say it again, once the FBI sinks their teeth into something, they never, ever let go. And so it was with the Tina Faelz murder.................................................

It took advances in DNA technology to help move the case forward, police said. In late 2007, the department resubmitted evidence, which they did not disclose, to two different labs for further testing.

In October, the FBI's crime lab in Quantico, Va., a got a hit on a possible suspect, and the man was reinterviewed." Santa Cruz Sentinel

Another interesting facet of this case is that Young Mr. Carlson was only sixteen at the time he committed the crime. Had he been caught or come forward then, he would have been tried as a juvenile, which would have resulted in a lighter sentence, even though he probably didn't deserve a lighter sentence. Now, this whole mess is going to be an adult case. If his parents, or someone else in his life, covered for him, and did not come forward, even if they knew about it, they actually were not doing him a favor at all. Hmmmm.......see what eventually happens when you cover for a kid who commits a crime? Perhaps you should think about that, too, Terri Horman.

Whatever you know about Kyron Horman's whereabouts needs to be revealed now, Terri. Tina Faelz did not deserve what happened to her, and she has classmates who miss her and want justice, even after twentyseven years. Kyron has a lot of friends, both in his age group and older, who are going to remember him always. And they will always want justice, no matter how many years go by. You need to become part of the solution, instead of part of the problem, or THE problem, whichever the case may be.

Kyron Horman, just looking natural; not hamming it up for the camara.

It's Monday, Terri Horman's Cold Case

It's Monday, the day of the week that I choose a cold case from somewhere that has been solved, despite all odds, to discuss with Terri Horman. Today, I have chosen the D.C. Sniper case. I know that this case only went on for several weeks before it was solved, and it didn't really become a cold case, per se, but it had a lot going against it in the way of getting solved. It started on October 2, 2002, and ended on October 24, 2002. I remember the whole thing rather well, because I lived in that area, at the time. The Sniper killed eleven people and wounded six, not counting prior criminal acts in other parts of the country.

Everyone thought it was just one person, not two; and no one ever guessed that one of the two would be a minor! Everyone also thought the Sniper was travelling in a white van. Wrong on both counts.......on the morning of October 24, I got out of my car in Frederick, Maryland, where I worked, and about five helicopters, flying really low, went by. "Hmmmm.........", I thought, "Wonder if they caught the Sniper?"

I was right. They caught the Sniper alright.........the sniperS! There were two of them. Wanna know how it happened, Terri? They stopped at a rest stop, on the interstate, in Frederick County, Maryland. Someone else happened to also be driving through there, and noticed what looked like a kid resting in the trunk of a car that had an unusual looking hole in the trunk. It wasn't a white van, though, it was a blue 1990 caprice. The trunk had, indeed, been altered, so that a person could see out of it, and actually aim a weapon from it. And there were two people, not just one. The man who noticed it called it in, and luckily, the police checked it out, even though the scenario did not quite fit the profile they had in mind. Then, the helicopters descended on them, and the rest is history.

Here they are, John Allen Mohammed and Lee Boyd Malvo. I was most disgusted because Malvo was only a kid, and really did not deserve to make the aquaintance of Mohammed in order too have his delinquency contributed to in such a serious fashion. Mohammed apparently had dated Malvo's mother at one time or another, and that's how they met. Ladies.......do NOT get your boyfriends at Kmart! Another reason I was disgusted was because all this was brought on by Mohammed's desire to murder his exwife! I mean......really.........(where's the eye-rolley when I need it?) this would have been a great time to just repress those angry feelings and go on with life! Oh well.....speaking of life, that's what Malvo is serving now. And John Allen Mohammed got the death penalty, and is no longer with us.

So you see, Terri? A chance encounter with an observant person possessed of both a telephone and a desire to do right can make all the difference in the world. Do you like helicopter rides?

Another Cold Case For Terri Horman

Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez says they weren't able to file chages until two witnesses came forward to tell investigators that Gargiulo admitted killing Pacaccio.

Calfornia investigators say Gargiulo may be responsible for other unsolved murders in and around Los Angeles.

What's all this about? Well, Terri, it seems a young man named Michael Gargiulo has been on the lam since 1993 over a murder he is suspected of having committed. He probably thought he had gotton away with it, too. But you know what? It didn't go away.

A couple of witnesses finally came forward. Do you know of any other situations wherein that sort of thing could happen?

And Terri, if you don't believe me, read this.

 

This Should Really Scare Terri Horman

CNN) -- A 71-year-old Seattle man living under an assumed name at a retirement community in Washington has been arrested in connection with the 1957 kidnapping and murder of an Illinois girl, authorities said Friday.

Seriously: check this out..............

Imagine that, Terri! After becoming a suspect in the kidnapping of Maria Ridolph, in Illinois, a man whose surname was McCollough changed it to Tessier, joined the service, and skipped town. Then, when he got back to this country after serving, he settled in Seattle! So close to where you used to live..............You know how old little Maria was when she disappeared? She was seven......just like someone else in your aquaintance..........a couple found her in the woods.

Are you and Houze planning to attend the extradition hearing in King County, Washington, today? McCollough is being held on a 3 million dollar bond. I'll bet that was unheard of back in 1957. I'll bet he is also surprised that anyone would feel that his "alleged" victim is even worth that much; after all, she was only a seven year old child.............

Notice this guy's balding, grey head. I'll bet he looked a lot younger back in 1957. I'll bet he also never thought he'd get caught. But then, there's been a lot of that going around, hasn't there? I am really thinking of starting separate newsletter, just for you, containing info about each and every cold case I hear about that gets solved after a number of years goes by, while the perpetrator thinks he or she has gotton away with something. Maybe you and Houze should think about it. I know Houze has had some high profile clients, but has anyone on his client roster ever been held on a 3 million dollar bond pending extradition? And will he still be practicing law in fifty-four years? Who will you hire if you find yourself having to answer questions about Kyron at some distant, future date, Terri?

The questions we all have about Kyron are not going to go away, Terri. The above described case should outline this clearly for you. And a seven year old truly IS worth a 3 million dollar bond, and much more; no matter what you and McCollough probably think.

Didn't I see a video message addressed to you, not too long ago, stating that "once the FBI sinks their teeth into something, they never let go"? You should start believing it.

Hey Terri, Does This Make You Nervous?

LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio - On Thursday authorities arrested a Amherst Twp. man in connection with murder that occurred more than 35-years ago.

Bobbie New, 69, of Ohio was just charged with a murder that happened in 1976, Terri. See his grey hair? All these years, he thought he had gotton away with it. The case went cold, but it didn't go away.

Here you go, just in case you don't believe me.
