Lost In Lima Ohio - A true crime blog

Three people deserving of long prison terms- although I'm not sure which of them deserves the most time, so out of fairness I'm just going to request they all get life. Three people face federal charges for allegedly conspiring to take two young girls to an Indiana hotel room for a sex "party," then taking pictures as the children were molested. Tabitha D. Robinson, 32, of Midlothian allegedly took a 3-year-old girl to a Best Western in Terre Haute, Ind., in August to meet two people she had "an online relationship" with, knowing the child would be molested, according to the complaint filed this week in U.S. District Court in southern Illinois. William M. Milligan, 27, of Bloomington, Ind., allegedly e-mailed Robinson driving directions to Terre Haute on Aug. 7 with a subject line that said "map to the party lol," the abbreviation for "laughing out loud." Prosecutors say Robinson's camera was used to take nude pictures of the

Aurelia Gallardo might just have a problem with her temper, as evident by the fact that she was reported for trying to push someone into oncoming traffic, then shoving the person into a parked car, and then yelling things like "You are dead to me" and "You are a slut." to the person.  What makes Gallardo's case so much worse is that the person she was abusing in public, both physically and mentally- was her own four year old daughter. t's pretty outrageous when a parent loses composure to that degree," said police Sgt. Brian Loyd of the child abuse investigation unit in a story for Friday's online edition of the Austin American-Statesman. "We see some bad stuff on our unit, but this is new for us." Once Gallardo boarded the bus, according to the affidavit, the bus driver said the woman was "yelling every four-letter word known" at the 4-year-old and was telling the girl that "CPS would take her away and that no one w

From Toledo Ohio , police are looking for a sexual offender who has failed to register: Local authorities need your help finding Misty Davis. Davis was convicted of rape in 2005 and served 3 years in prison. The victim was a 13-year-old girl. Authorities say Davis recently moved and didn't register her new address.

If you ever wanted to see a German version of me, you'd only have to find reader/friend CAT- my twin a few thousand miles away. She's guess posted before, and since she's able to bring an foreign take on crimes from the other side of the big pond- I'm delighted to have her back again: Link in German: http://www. abendblatt. de/daten/2008/10/22/957005. html Article in the Abendblatt by Karin Lubowski and Inken Ramelow, October 2008-10-22 Luebeck/Kiel Justitias (Lady Justice) eyes are blindfolded: Without looking at the person, justice is meant for all.

This threat Valentina N. never forgot. For four years the 44 year old

INVITATION TO A MURDER THE FOURTH BOOK FROM “48 HOURS MYSTERY” IS AVAILABLE IN STORES TUESDAY, OCT. 28 “48 HOURS MYSTERY” PRODUCER GAIL ABBOTT ZIMMERMAN GOES BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE BROADCAST TO EXAMINE A CHILLING DOUBLE HOMICIDE A violent home invasion took a young mother’s life. But was that what really happened? Invitation to a Murder, available in stores on Tuesday, Oct. 28 is the fourth book from 48 HOURS MYSTERY. In this riveting account of a crime first documented on the broadcast, producer Gail Abbott Zimmerman unravels the lethal secrets inside a seemingly perfect marriage to find out who was behind a chilling double homicide. “My wife is dying on the floor! Please, please come help!” The frantic 911 call sent emergency units racing to a tidy brick home in suburban Springfield, Illinois. Beautiful, vivacious Donnah Winger had been bludgeoned to death by a male intruder. Her attacker was fatally shot by Donnah’s husband, Mark. In the aftermath of t

So she decides to beat her 11 year old daughter by him to death with a mop handle. Police say a woman has admitted she beat her 11-year-old daughter with a mop handle and left her to die in bed in her New York City apartment. Detectives say a woman told them she hit the girl so hard on the head that the mop handle shattered. The child was found dead Sunday in the family's apartment in Brooklyn. I can think of a hundred other ways to despise an ex, and none of them including beating a child, let along beating that child to death. Full story

Jodi Harris must have wondered what was going on. Police were showing up at her home time after time, answering calls to 911 that she wasn't making. There was the report that a police officer had been shot and stuff in her trunk, the call that she was beaten. Calls came in the middle of the night, 22 of them, each reporting a 'serious' crime sending officers speeding to Harris' door. Only, there was never any emergency at Harris' home. Finally, detectives started recording the calls that were ringing into the 911 call center from a cell phone. They played them for Harris and that's when she said she recognized the voice as that of her neighbor's, Christopher Gonzalez. "The whole time he was calling he was sitting at the window watching and I never knew it because we never had any conflict with him. He was very polite," Harris said. Some people are just creepy.

Police in Orange County Florida are looking for a suspected serial rapist who has attacked three women in the last month. The latest attack occurred early Thursday morning when authorities say a woman was going to her car outside her home. She told police she saw a man and went back inside and locked the door. The man broke in and attacked her, but she was able to fight him off. More information and a sketch available here .

Clicking through the news tonight, I found this article. Evidently, the woman who cried rape after a badly planned party one night near Duke U. has written a book. The woman who North Carolina prosecutors determined falsely accused three Duke lacrosse players of raping her at a team party maintains in a new memoir that she was attacked. Crystal Mangum, who appeared publicly Thursday for the first time since making the allegations more than two years ago, says in her forthcoming book she is not "looking forward to opening old wounds" but that she had to defend herself. I must say, I've posted on the non case before. At first, leaning towards the 'victim' in the case, but as time went on, and information came out- I found myself realising that the only victims in this case were a group of young men whose lives were torn apart. I have to admit though, that even as well as I followed the case, there was so much more to it than anyone could imagine. If you DO re

Columbus Ohio police have arrested James Glenn after a 7 year old was abducted by him and forced to pose for nude photos. Police say the young girl had gotten off the bus and was sitting on steps about a block from her home when Glenn grabbed her and took her inside his apartment. Once inside, Glenn forced the child to take semi nude photos of him, and also photographed the child nude. The girl's relative said she told Glenn she was hungry to distract him and while he left her alone, she called her family, finding a utility bill to tell him where she was. "I'm like, 'I'm going to be over at your apartment in five seconds. You're going to let her out of your apartment,'" Todd said. The girl was able to escape and Glenn is now facing several charges, including gross sexual imposition.

Two years ago, Michael Charles Etchison was given a stamp of approval and released into the public as 'no a risk' to society. Evidence that he was no longer a risk included helpful comments like "he was a model inmate" and that he'd not "committed any sexual assaults" in 25 years. Left out were the comments I would have personally added "he's not committed any rapes because he's been in prison" and "if he's such a model prisoner, keep him there, since his time in society he spent raping women and even butchering one". Now, two years later,  Etchison has moved into a community, and is pleading his case that his past is his past, and hie neighbors have nothing to fear from him. n 1972, a then-17-year-old Etchison was convicted of forcible copulation against a young woman he then murdered with a meat cleaver. As a minor, he served two and a half years in the California Youth Authority. In 1979, he committed forcible copul

“HOW COULD I BE BLAMED FOR SOMETHING AS TERRIBLE AS THIS?” SAYS DR. TIMOTHY STRYKER IN HIS FIRST NETWORK INTERVIEW ABOUT THE MURDER OF HIS FORMER GIRLFRIEND A “48 HOURS MYSTERY” EXCLUSIVE ON SATURDAY, OCT. 25 In his first network interview, Dr. Timothy Stryker addresses the accusations of murder that have dogged him for 15 years. “How could I be blamed for something as terrible as this?” he asks in the 48 HOURS MYSTERY exclusive. In 1993, Dr. Linda Goudey’s body was found in the back seat of her car in the parking lot of the Boston-area hospital where she worked. The beloved OB/GYN had been strangled in an attack so brutal it left injuries at 24 separate places on her body. Immediately, authorities turned to her boyfriend, Dr. Stryker, and his attempts to help their investigation further fueled their suspicions of his involvement. But with only circumstantial evidence, the case went cold. While authorities may not have had enough for a criminal case, Goudey’s family pressed on and f

Once again it seems I'll be channel surfing this Saturday night, as America's Most Wanted will not be on again until Nov 1st- though I have a feeling that episode will be making up for ones we've missed. But, just because they aren't on air, doesn't mean they haven't been working harder than ever on cases. Lucky for us, I've got a short list of some of what they've been keeping up with.

Ohio has to make sure it does something even stupider. A few days back I mentioned a situation where a highly respected and devoted detective in Tennessee was stripped of his duties and sent back to patrol because his boss had a case of assholitis. I should have known that Ohio, being the copycat of stupid moves wasn't about to be outdone. Sadly, the rush to punish a respected police officer resulted in this headline: Sylvania Township officer suspended, within a whisker of termination Officer Ron Dicus was suspended for three days without pay for insubordination for disobeying orders to trim his mustache. During a three-hour, quasi-judicial hearing before the trustees, with lawyers on behalf of both parties examining witnesses, police Chief Robert Metzger described Officer Dicus’ mustache as being a “George Custer-type.” This isn't just any old officer, with any old facial hair- he's also a well respected, well liked officer who had more than 20 officers show up

Police in Toledo Ohio are looking for Richard Lopez.   Photo Date: 07/19/2007 Lopez is a sexual offender, required to register with the local law enforcement, having been convicted of raping a teenager in 1988 . Channel 11 has issued a predator alert, as he's failed to register. More information.

One might think that after spending four years in jail for raping a 15 year old girl, William Meacham might have tried to be low key and stay out of trouble. Instead Meacham, his two brothers, two sisters and a friend decided that the best way to deal with neighbors concerned about this sexual predator being in their neighborhood was to beat one of them up. Police say William Meacham, his two brothers, two sisters and a friend attacked Adrian Porter in the village of Seneca Falls last month, leaving him bleeding and unconscious in the complex's parking lot with brain trauma, a broken nose and facial fractures. They claim the victim came at them first, because that's believable- a single man going after a gang of six. And, evidently between the fliers Porter was hanging to warn residents of the sexual predator, the clan claims he had a machete. Honestly, dealing with this bunch- it might have been wise if he'd have had one. Perhaps then he could have at least attempted

Most people will eventually hit that time in their lives when they just want to sit back and enjoy a little peace. In Blue Ash, Ohio Edna Jester was that person. At 89 years old, she just wanted to sit outside and relax. The punk kids down the road wanted to disturb her peace by failing to mind some 'you're old enough to know better' rules of politeness. After asking again and again, and complaining over and over, Ms Jester grew tired of the children trampling through her yard as they tossed around footballs. So, when one landed in her yard recently- she'd finally had all she could take and took the football. Police say there had been an ongoing dispute over the errant football and a child's parent called to report that Jester kept the ball after it landed in her yard again. “I'm 89 years old and I want a little piece of mind,” Jester said. “This is my life here in this chair, looking out that door, and all I see is playing the ball down and all over and

Detective Kurt Knapp of Tennessee has worked domestic violence cases for quite a while. While preforming his job, he's earned respect from the community and praise for those whose lives have been saved by him. He was recently awarded "Detective of the Year" from the DA's office. What is even more telling about the character of this man, and his commitment to 'serve and protect' is the statements made in his behalf: The Coalition Against Domestic Violence "cannot imagine the domestic violence division without this standard-setting level of compassion and dedication to victims of this terrible crime." Six different district attorneys wrote, [...] Detective Knapp does not fall within his elite group -- He tops the list." One victim wrote, "He is responsible for saving my life. And yet, despite the praise and support of many people whose lives have been touched by this dedicated detective, he's been demoted and transferred to patro

Michael Melvin is looking at some jail time. His partner in crime, an 39 year old woman by the name of Rachel White, was just sentenced to 18 months in jail after being caught attempting to use her 17 year old as a prostitute in Dayton Ohio. Sheriff's deputies say they found the 39-year-old woman and a man prostituting the girl at a Dayton-area hotel in April. Judge A.J. Wagner gave White the maximum penalty on her guilty plea to a felony charge of attempting to compel prostitution by a minor. He listed her as a sex offender and gave her a simultaneous sentence of 3 months for child endangering. I'm not sure what some parents are thinking, but I do believe this proves my point about giving out tests before we allow just anyone to pretend to be a mother. Source

*****UPDATES BELOW***** Rebecca Long liked to knit, for her husband, her parents, her son, her pets- just about everyone. Evidently what Long didn't like was providing nutrition for her 14 year old stepdaughter. The Carnation girl, 14, dodged the grave. Authorities saved her in August from a house of horrors where she was malnourished, dehydrated and withered to under 50 pounds. She had a ghostly pallor, with rotting teeth from failing salivary glands. Suicide entered her mind. After a two-month investigation that just concluded, her stepmother, Rebecca Long, 44, and father, Jon Pomeroy, 43, were taken into custody. They've been charged with first- and second-degree criminal mistreatment, felonies. In a bizarre twist, the girl's father denies knowing his daughter was locked up for long stretches by the stepmother. It's amazing that a woman who had time to knit endless projects, couldn't manage to take the time to go to parenting classes, try anger management o

By now, most people know about the missing 6 year old boy Cole Puffinburger who was kidnapped from his home in Nevada, and some of the details behind the kidnapping. For those interested in getting more information- I'm personally hooked on Steve Huff's continuing coverage of the case. Steve's has been on to stay a little ahead of the MSN on certain cases and it seems that this time is no exception.

Let's see, 23 years old. Sentenced to 12 years in prison to be served with another 18 year sentence. That would make him... 41? Naw, that can't be right- because the judge clearly calls him " a young man sentenced to the rest of his life in prison ,". I've went back and checked my math, but no matter how many times I do it- I still come up with 41. That doesn't include early release- if he gets it. And I was pretty sure that the average life span was up in the 70's or 80's. Forty one seems awfully young to assume he'll be dead at that age. A 23-year-old man who could spend the rest of his life behind bars for molesting several Tri-City boys said Thursday that he wants help. Vernon Neil Fannin of Richland apologized to the victims and their families as he was sentenced in Benton County Superior Court to a minimum term of 12 years and five months in prison. It will be served at the same time as an 18-year sentence he received in Franklin Coun

Timothy Conkright had been convicted of sexually abusing two girls (ages 4 and 5). He was sentenced to two life terms in prison as a result of the 2005 conviction. While we can applaud his sentence, I'm not sure many people are going to be happy that instead of rotting behind bars, Conkright was given early release and is now set to be free. Conkright was originally given two consecutive life sentences; however, a court of appeals overturned his convictions. He avoided a re-trial after entering an Alford plea to two counts of gross sexual imposition for the October 2004 assaults. The plea guaranteed him substantially less prison time. Other charges against Conkright were dismissed and he was sentenced to four years in prison and five years of community control. Under an agreement with the court, Conkright was to receive judicial release six months from now, then be placed on electronic monitoring for six months. A statement from the victims families follows the mind blowin

In the last twelve months, Long Beach police have been searching for a degenerate who they say has been showing children pornographic images and attempting to lure the children away from their homes. The incidents, which started last October and continued through September of this year targeted children near their homes when they appeared alone. The suspect is described as a light-skinned Hispanic man, about 20 to 30 years old. He is estimated to be 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 11, and weighs about 160 pounds. He has wavy black hair and a patch of hair just below his lip. Police say he may be driving a gray, late 1990s Honda. Police have released a photo taken by a security camera near one of the incidents of the man they believe to be responsible. P lease take a moment to click over and check it out, you might be able to prevent this man from achieving whatever deviant plans he has.

People, strollers are for babies. Babies. Not sawed-off shotguns, knives, or box cutters . Babies. An upstate New York woman will spend up to three years in prison for packing more than diapers in her baby's stroller. Stephanie Wilson of Utica pleaded guilty last month to carrying an unloaded sawed-off shotgun in the buggy, where police also found several knives and a box cutter. Wilson said she needed the weapons for self protection. [...] Wilson was arrested July 1 after an argument on the street with another woman over money. Wilson first pulled a knife from the stroller, and then the sawed-off shotgun.

Isabel Chasarez might not have been too concerned about what was happening in her own home while her boyfriend was impregnating her then 9 year old daughter, but something tells me she'll soon have more than enough time to think it over and see her error. An eastern Idaho woman whose boyfriend impregnated her 9-year-old daughter has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Isabel Chasarez, 27, must serve at least one year in prison before she is eligible for parole, 7th District Judge Brent Moss ordered Tuesday at the sentencing hearing. Shame that she only has to wait one short year, but there is always the hope that the parole board sees this waste of DNA for what she is.

It won't be long before the kids are all rushing home to climb into costumes and grabbing their candy bags while envisioning the piles of candy they'll be handed as they go door to door declaring 'Trick or Treat' to all their neighbors. Which means, it also won't be too long before sex offenders start their own ritual preparations. Sex offenders in Illinois, Maryland, Missouri and a handful of other states must stay inside their homes on Halloween and post a sign that says 'no candy or treats at this residence,' in an effort to protect children. Signs mailed to 1,200 violent and child-sex offenders included a picture of a pumpkin and the words, "No candy at this residence." If sex offenders don't put the signs up they face charges of parole violation. I'm sure there will be the normal complaints about these laws and how unfair they are. And, while I would like to attempt to keep an open mind while they spew their 'it's unfair&#

First, I have some sad new... America's Most Wanted will not be airing this weekend. Of course, there's always a silver lining to every rain cloud- so while they aren't on air, they are still pounding away solving cases and looking for tips. Here's an update on what's been keeping them busy: Sarah Pender: According to officials, while Sarah Pender was in jail, her former lover, Jamie Long, served as a "postmaster." Cops say Long provided prison guard Scott Spitler with drugs and contraband cell phones for Pender to sell behind bars. She was also Pender's getaway driver during her August 4, 2008 escape. Now, Long has been sentenced to seven years for helping Pender escape. Pender remains at large, and cops still need your help to track her down and lock her up again. http://www.amw.com/fugitives/ brief.cfm?id=58000 Luann and Bradley Chase: Less than 12 hours after they appeared on America's Most Wanted, a vigilant viewer's tip led cops to

A WIFE AND MOTHER DISAPPEARS, LEAVING BEHIND A MYSTERY THAT WOULD HAUNT FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR 30 YEARS "48 HOURS MYSTERY" ON SATURDAY, OCT. 18 As the wife of promising engineer Eugene Zapata and mother to three children, Jean Zapata was not your typical stay-at-home mom. Strong and independent, she was a trailblazer, one of the few female flight instructors of her day. But in 1976 she vanished from her Madison, Wis. home leaving behind friends, family and a mystery that would take 30 years to resolve. After just three weeks, the initial investigation into her disappearance went cold. The Zapatas’ youngest daughter Linda, who was 11 years old at the time, grew up thinking her mother had abandoned them. Linda remained haunted until she received a visit from local authorities 28 years later. Thanks to the persistence of Jean’s lifelong friend Peggy Weekly, the case had been reopened. And with the help of Madison detective Marianne Flynn Statz, these women were un

I have to admit, and many of you already know it- but I sneak in and check referring links to here via a site stat meter. It's just a way to see what posts are getting interest, and to get an idea of how some of the visitors stumble in here. My own little curiosity, although I should say that 99% of bloggers share that gene with me. Some of the links to here, I wish I wouldn't have seen. Nothing like clicking on a site, only to find out that someone thinks I'm a dumbass, or realising that they were only here because Google somehow mistook this for a porn site- still not sure how that happens! But then today, I found a link via a message board. And, while I don't want to point anyone out by naming names- I do want them to know that I appreciate their thoughts. So, hopefully, whoever you are, you make the connection and realise that I'm blushing a little, and grateful a lot. As a helpful hint- in the slim case anyone else has linked me- to the person who provid

Richard Cooey said he was too fat to be executed. So, he tried to appeal his death sentence to the Ohio Appeals Court. When that failed, 267lb Cooey took it to the US Supreme Court. They dismissed his request, thus siding with Ohio. SOURCE-- Cooey lost a final appeal earlier Tuesday when the U.S. Supreme Court turned down without comment his complaint that the state's protocol for lethal injection could cause an agonizing and painful death. He wanted the state to use a single drug rather than a three-drug combination, and asked for a stay of execution pending a hearing on that motion. The court on Monday denied a separate appeal based on Cooey's claim that his obesity was a bar to humane lethal injection. The argument also had been rejected by a federal appeals court in Cincinnati and the Ohio Supreme Court, with both courts ruling that he missed a deadline for filing appeals. Cooey is 75 pounds heavier than when he went to death row — the result of prison food and 23-hou

Remember my post about the stalker? Well, if you liked it- you're sure to love the post Trench did today , where he (as McCain supporter) debated a fellow b5 blogger (as a Obama supporter). Just like the last three debates were, this one should be chalked down to a Righty win. And for those of you who didn't like it, well- there's someone there giving hype to Obama- so you're side is fairly presented too. I suppose it'll be ok for you to claim she won... if you have to.

Through out the years, I've made a few pleas for assistance from you. Not often, but once in a while when a case seems to be screaming for help. While browsing Trench's blogs tonight, I came across this post: Help a man bury his grandchild Parents Battle Over Baby’s Body: Not too long ago I posted about Alicia Zebrun. She is the woman from Buffalo accused of killing her newborn baby and hiding the body in a shoebox. If you are one who believes that a parent's right to pretend to be a parent ends the moment that said parent KILLS their child, then you might want to head over and read Trench's post. Because, at this moment- the grandfather of that innocent baby is fighting for custody of the child's body to give her a proper burial. Perhaps an outpouring of support for this grandfather and his desire to show this child the love and respect her mother refused her will help persuade someone to do what is right. It just wouldn't be right if we allowed this

Every so often, someone comes along with the theory that sexual offenders can be fixed with this or that treatment. One of the most supported theories, but least used is the idea of castration. On first glance, the idea would seem to be reasonable. After all, if you remove the ability of an offender to get sexual gratification from his actions, it would seem that he'd be less likely to engage in them. If you cut off (no pun intended) the ability of a sexual predator to perform, then it would seem to follow that the offender would lose interest in carrying on his demented desires. But that's only at first glance. A second look however, is a little more insightful. I've talked about castration and it's use as a deterrent for sexual offenders committing other sex related crimes. And I've openly discussed how I believe that while it sounds good in theory, it will fail in practice. Kevin Reilly fought for freedom based upon the theory that he was no longer a dange

Kevin Coe is no longer a danger to women, well, at least that is what he'd like everyone else to believe- despite the fact that he has committed at least 40 rapes. The Spokane area was terrorized by the South Hill Rapist crimes from the 1960s to the early 1980s, with dozens of women raped in the neighborhood before Coe was captured in 1981. Coe was originally linked by police to more than 40 rapes, but was convicted of four. Appellate courts threw out three of those convictions, leaving Coe with a single rape conviction. He completed his sentence in 2006. Coe has steadfastly maintained his innocence. The state contends Coe suffers from mental disorders that prevent him from controlling his sexual behavior, and that he is a danger to reoffend. As for all of this, Coe says: Convicted rapist Kevin Coe said Tuesday that he poses no threat to women if released from state custody and is at "zero" risk to reoffend. Coe, testifying in court for the first time since hi

Bill Marcus Ennis Jr was suppose to appear in court on charges that he sexually abused a young boy a few years ago. Facing three counts of Sodomy I, four counts Sex Abuse I and one count of Attempted First Degree Sodomy, Ennis was released on $200,000 bail. And then he failed to show up for court, prompting the court to decide that perhaps it might be a good idea to make that bail a little bit higher. Bail has been raised to$1 million dollars after a Roseburg man failed to appear in court two weeks in a row. SOURCE with photo. Let's get him locked up.

Johnny Corrales is a convicted rapist. Seems he couldn't keep himself out of trouble, and was wanted for a parole violation when he ran from LE Minnesota officials, along with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, gathered evidence that suggested Corrales may be accompanied by a 16-year-old runaway. The two went missing on August 15 and were believed to have fled to Arizona a short time later, Hershey said. Officials received a tip that Corrales and the teenager were staying at the home of one of his family members. After setting up brief surveillance in the area, police arrested Corrales and took the girl into custody. Let's see- convicted sexual offender, teen runaway, and his family offering him their undying support by allowing him to hide out in their home. I bet anything they tell people what a nice guy he is, and how that first conviction wasn't his fault. Full Article.

I've been battling in my head over whether or not I should talk about this with all of you. Honestly, part of me would rather it just blow over so I don't have to deal with it. But the other part of me realizes that sometimes, well, sometimes standing up and telling the truth is the best thing to do- regardless of how difficult it may be. I've been a little quiet lately, overwhelmed by the feeling that I'm being watched. You see, it all started a few days back, when I received a rather uncomfortable phone call. The phone call was followed up by a post card a few days later- which of course had no return address. And then, just this morning I started getting the emails. I've tried everything I can to rid myself of this unwanted attention, to explain calmly that I'm not interested. But- clearly it's not working out so well. And, to be blunt- it's getting to the point where this persistent behavior has become nothing short of creepy. I'm down to m
