True Crime Stories

I feel like I say this often.... we are going to do something a little different here. I do not blog about a lot of “unsolved” cases here because I am the type of person that likes a conclusion to things. In the same respect I have done several where someone was tried and acquitted such as the Casey Anthony and the O.J. Simpson cases. As technology and advances in DNA continually evolve we are seeing more and more cases that we never thought would be solved in fact come to an end. There have been cases like that of The Golden State Killer that have been solved by using genealogy and DNA results to solve. Many cases sitting and awaiting trial right now are cases that were long ago cold such as the Sheila Keen-Warren case.

There are likely several different reasons why those cases have sat in a pile and I did not compose them but this one had a few of it's own. Haleigh Cummings was five years old and was reported missing from her Satsuma Florida home on February 10, 2009, the very day that in Orlando a memorial service was be held for Caylee Anthony. It is unlikely that I need to tell the readers who Caylee Anthony was as it captured the nation. Haleigh's case also tore at the nation's heart strings but was often over shadowed by the Anthony case. While the majority of people wholly disagree with the eventual verdict in the Caylee Anthony trial, ...
