Surveillance cameras, from several different angles, clearly captured her abduction, when in progress. It happened just before 8 PM last Wednesday, February 1st. http://thesop.org/story/20120208/who-took-samantha-koenig-from-the-common-grounds-coffee-stand.html http://thesop.org/story/20120208/who-took-samantha-koenig-from-the-common-grounds-coffee-stand.html jkays@austin.rr.com (John G.

While still in disbelief, we commit to memory every painful detail of what we know Josh Powell did Sunday afternoon, shortly before the Super Bowl would begin. Mount Carmel revisited? And why did so many already know it would happen? http://thesop.org/story/20120207/did-the-scorching-conflagration-of-josh-powell-possess-an-inevitability.html http://thesop.org/story/20120207/did-the-scorching-conflagration-of-josh-powell-possess-an-inevitability.html jkays@austin.rr.com (John G.

Wings is more of a rocker, that lifts us up and propels us off the Potato Couch, and gets us cutting the rug to the pounding thump of Ringos drum kit. http://thesop.org/story/20120205/ringos-wings-and-sir-pauls-my-valentine-are-swooning-lovebirds-for-a-brand-new-beatles-single.html http://thesop.org/story/20120205/ringos-wings-and-sir-pauls-my-valentine-are-swooning-lovebirds-for-a-brand-new-beatles-single.html jkays@austin.rr.com (John G.

I lean in this direction myself, but only for a muse of intuition, no hard facts. http://thesop.org/story/20120202/ids-dark-minds-the-eastbound-strangler-brings-back-an-atlantic-citylong-island-connection.html http://thesop.org/story/20120202/ids-dark-minds-the-eastbound-strangler-brings-back-an-atlantic-citylong-island-connection.html jkays@austin.rr.com (John G.

It would be fodder for his next detective crime novel. Possible title: The Deadly LoveBoat, starring the usual icy upstart blonde, a calculating, jealous wife, and the victim, a spineless, teeter-tottering navy doctor. http://thesop.org/story/20120201/deadly-loveboat-does-jennifer-trayers-narrative-of-the-stabbing-ring-true.html http://thesop.org/story/20120201/deadly-loveboat-does-jennifer-trayers-narrative-of-the-stabbing-ring-true.html jkays@austin.rr.com (John G.

Kays) Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:58:00 GMT Was Jennifer Trayers eight-page email sent to Danielle Robins on December 4, 2010 composed and delivered before or after she stabbed her husband (Fred Trayers) to death? I suspect it was composed before she did her deed, but I could use a confirmation of this. http://thesop.org/story/20120127/what-was-in-jennifer-trayers-eightpage-email-to-gorgeous-blonde-mistress-danielle-robins.html http://thesop.org/story/20120127/what-was-in-jennifer-trayers-eightpage-email-to-gorgeous-blonde-mistress-danielle-robins.html jkays@austin.rr.com (John G. Kays) Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:01:00 GMT As I look at these current stories on an ancient case of wealth and privilege gone south for the winter (and what a long winter it is), I had to review some documents to bring me up to speed on the mid-seventies case of Martha Moxleys murder, which has been swirling in controversy ever since that time. http://thesop.org/story/20120126/martha-moxleys-murder-comes-back-to-haunt-us-once-again.html http://thesop.org/story/20120126/martha-moxleys-murder-comes-back-to-haunt-us-once-again.html jkays@austin.rr.com (John G.

Fresh severed head rolls out of grocery bag and onto the ground on Tuesday, in Bronson Canyon Park just near the iconic 1923 Hollywood sign (the "Land was dropped in the late 1940s). http://thesop.org/story/20120119/headless-hollywood-horror-nightmare-of-severed-head-rolls-out-of-grocery-bag.html http://thesop.org/story/20120119/headless-hollywood-horror-nightmare-of-severed-head-rolls-out-of-grocery-bag.html jkays@austin.rr.com (John G.
