Kevin Ray Underwood

Too many times we see the amber alert issued for a missing child, sometimes the child is found safe, sometimes it's too late. In a strange way, most of us have become oddly accostomed to hearing the news that a child wasn't able to make it back home safely. It's almost as if as a society we have become condidtioned to the tragic loss of young lives. I'm not saying it's easy to deal with, only that it happens so frequently nowadays, that it often seems to occur without much press.
The case of Jamie Rose Bolin didn't go without the press. It wasn't a story we were use to hearing, and for many the shock of what happened to her left us haunted.
A man accused of strangling a 10-year-old girl and plotting to eat her flesh allowed investigators to search his apartment and then confessed to the slaying, an FBI agent testified Tuesday.

Agent Craig Overby said he spotted the girl's clothing inside a plastic tub inside a bedroom closet and asked Kevin Ray Underwood where the girl was. Overby said the man responded: "She's in there. I hit her and chopped her up."

Jamie Rose Bolin's body was found nearly decapitated inside Underwood's apartment, investigators have said.


Yesterday Underwood appeared in court for first-degree murder, and was granted a request by the defense for a gag order that prohibits attorneys and law enforcement from discussing the case publicly. Prosecutors will be seeking the death penalty for Underwood. And, to be honest- I can imagine a person more deserving.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

The Murder of Karen Tipton

A DOCTOR'S WIFE IS MURDERED, SPELLING TRAGEDY FOR TWO FAMILIES AS A YOUNG MAN’S LIFE HANGS IN THE BALANCE “48 HOURS MYSTERY” REVEALS NEW DRAMATIC DEVELOPMENTS IN A RIVETING LEGAL BATTLE THAT HAS PUT JUSTICE ON TRIAL In March 1999, Karen Tipton, a mother of two and the wife of psychiatrist Dr. David Tipton, was found stabbed 28 times in her Decatur, Ala. home. And for the last nine years Daniel Wade Moore, who was convicted of the crime, has been at the center of an unprecedented legal battle, one that has his life hanging in the balance. Moore, a former drug user, was only 24 when he was arrested for Tipton’s murder after he confessed to his uncle that he had been present at the scene of the crime. While being questioned by police, Moore stabbed himself with a penknife, a move that authorities believe stemmed from his feelings of guilt. Moore, however, says that he is not guilty, explaining that he was getting high on drugs at the time he confessed to his uncle and that he had a...
