True Crime Stories

I tend to stay away from unsolved cases for the most part simply because I like to blog about cases that have reached their conclusion in one way or another. But, not only is this cases the unsolved murder of at least two people (Danny and Kathy Freeman), the fact that neither Lauria Bible nor Ashley Freeman have been seen or found since December of 1999 adds to the mystery. That being said I have decided to do this case for two reasons. The first is that I find it interesting and fascinating and despite the “unsolved” or “cold” titles the case has been given there are still plenty of twists and turns.

Debra had been dating Dominick “Nick” Bosco for close to a year, but they were not there for anything related to their relationship. No, officers were there to s...

If you are a regular reader of my blog you know that they are not always simply about the crime. Sometimes it is about the justice system that includes things like fair trials, evidence presented, and sometimes it is about my opinion in the guilt or innocence of the person or people accused. It was many of this latter things that had me flip-flopping on my feelings on the case throughout the time I was researching this case.

Sixteen year old Michael Castro was working at Brown's Chicken and Pasta in Palatine Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, on January 8, 1993. The restaurant had closed at 9 pm but a few hours later he had not returned home and his parents were worried and called the police. A short time later the wife of Guadalupe Maldonado also called the police stating her husband had not returned h...
