Another Disgusting Cop Story

Detective Erin Thompson, of the sheriff's department in Shawnee County, Kansas, has found her way to a paid vacation because she falsified evidence in criminal cases she investigated. Specifically, it was discovered that she stated that she had spoken with witnesses when, in fact, she had not. Now the Kansas Bureau of Investigations is investigating Officer Thompson and a number of cases that were tried in court, hinging on the false information given by Thompson.

One such case is involved the death of a five month old little boy named Caleb Stewart. His mother left him at daycare and went to work, only to pick him up at the hospital after he died at daycare. He had been placed in a closet on a dogbed, and when the unofficial "volunteer" at the daycare found him, he was not breathing. She did not dial 911, but called the actual babysitter, instead. Paramedics were not summoned for at least ten more minutes. The babysitter's boyfriend was "unofficially present", and the daycare had lost its license to be a daycare......facts which were not disclosed to Caleb's parents.

Erin Thompson did not find anything criminally amiss in the scenario. Neither did Chad Taylor, the District Attorney in Topeka. His office hung up on anyone who called with questions about the case. Many questions were never properly answered in Caleb's case, and discrepancies between the findings of the autopsy and the statements made by those present when Caleb died were never explained. Hopefully, when the Kansas Bureau of Investigations conducts its probe of Detective Erin Thompson's cases, they will find some answers for Caleb's parents.

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.
