Joseph Kupchik

James Renner, author of Amy: My Search for Her Killer, has been working on another Cleveland Ohio case that remains yet unsolved. The 2006 murder of a young man by the name of Joe Kupchic shines light on every parents fear- having to fight to find the murderer of a child.

The story about the death of the young man who appeared to have so much going for him weighs heavy on the heart- and only grows worse when you read the struggle the family went through to ensure that his murder wasn't mistakenly labeled a suicide.


The Murder of Joseph Kupchik
A Free Times Investigation Rewrites the Strangest Death of 2006


Officer James Foley arrived at the scene first and searched the garage. On the top floor, he found a Honda Civic with its driver's side door open, the keys dangling from the ignition, the engine turned off. The driver's seat was bloody, and a rolled-up white shirt covered in blood lay between the seat and the door, beside a bloody leather jacket. A pair of shoes rested on the floor under the steering wheel. A trail of blood snaked from the door to the railing. A 6-inch fillet knife lay on the snowy cement a few feet from the car. Written on a piece of paper on the dash was Joseph Kupchik's name and home address. George later recognized the handwriting as his son's.


I encourage you to take a moment to click over and read Renner's latest piece, and perhaps help this family in their search for justice.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. The White ...

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...
