MORGAN HARRINGTON’S KILLER STILL AT LARGE
Thursday, August 19th, 2010
Police sketch
Investigators say Morgan vanished on October 17, 2009 while attending a concert outside the John Paul Jones arena in Virginia. She was separated from friends around 8:30 p.m. when she walked out of the front entrance. Authorities say Morgan called her friends inside and told them she was finding a ride home, and that they shouldn’t wait for her. State police officials report Morgan was last seen by the ticket office on the University Hall side of the building. Morgan’s body was found on a farm in Albemarle County a little over three months after she vanished from the Metallica concert. Investigators told me her body could have been on the farm as many as 100 days.
WHO KILLED NORMA LOPEZ?
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
- Norma Lopez MISSING (photo of the shirt she was wearing the day she vanished)
Time is ticking on and one month has passed since teenager Norma Lopez was abducted and killed in Moreno Valley, California. Since then, regular classes have resumed at Valley View High and the hunt to find her killer is still active. Police told me Norma left her summer school classes at Valley View and was supposed to meet her sister, but she never made it to the location. Investigators believe she may have taken a short cut from Dracaea Avenue leading out to an area on Cottonwood Avenue, but somewhere in between authorities believe she was kidnapped. In fact, some of her personal belongings were found in a field, and there were signs of a struggle. Investigators believe she was taken against her will and may have been thrown into a newer model green SUV. That vehicle was seen fleeing from the area at a high rate of speed. Deputy Nieburger told me that that vehicle may not necessarily be connected to the murder, but the driver may have seen something. The area where Norma’s body was found is about three miles away from where she went missing, and her remains were in an open field on top of the ground.
KRISTI CORNWELL, ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ABDUCTION (new letter details)
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010
MISSING: Kristi Cornwell
Hard to believe it’s been one year since Kristi Cornwell was abducted in Georgia. Kristi’s mom, Jo Ann Cornwell, told me over the phone on Tuesday, “I am not giving up hope, I have not been given any reason to believe she is not alive… it hurts my heart.”
The last anyone heard from Kristi was one year ago today when she was exercising in Blairsville. Investigators say around 9:00 p.m. Kristi was on the phone with her boyfriend, who was in Atlanta at the time, when a car approached her. There was a struggle, and she was never seen again. A reward of $50,000 is offered for information leading to the safe return of Kristi, or the arrest/conviction of the person responsible for her disappearance.
Kristi’s family is extremely proactive in this case. They started a website, they have frequent, sometimes daily searches of the area where she went missing, and they even auctioned off the family’s lake house property over the weekend to raise money to help find this missing mother. More than 80,000 post cards have been purchased and distributed with Kristi’s face on them. “Somebody out there has got to know something, or someone has seen something and doesn’t think it’s important yet,” said Jo Ann.
COMMUNITY GATHERS TO REMEMBER MORGAN, KILLER STILL AT LARGE
Monday, July 26th, 2010Police sketch
On what would have been Morgan Harrington’s 21st birthday, family and friends gathered to remember this beautiful college student. Over the weekend, a homemade quilt was left for Morgan on the Copley Road Bridge, the last place she was seen, and 21 purple balloons were released into the sky. Attached to each balloon was the sketch of the man police believe could be responsible for her abduction and possibly even her murder. Investigators say Morgan vanished on October 17, 2009 while attending a concert outside the John Paul Jones arena in Virginia. She was separated from friends around 8:30 p.m. when she walked out of the front entrance. Authorities say Morgan called her friends inside and told them she was finding a ride home, and that they shouldn’t wait for her. State police officials report Morgan was last seen by the ticket office on the University Hall side of the building. Morgan’s body was found on a farm in Albemarle County a little over three months after she vanished from the Metallica concert.

DEADLY BOATING ACCIDENTS ON LAKE HAVASU, SUSPECTS SOUGHT
Friday, July 23rd, 2010
Sketch of the boat from the July 3, 2010 incident
Since 2007, there have been two fatal hit-and-run boating accidents on Lake Havasu, California, and in both cases there are suspect(s) on the run. The most recent case was just a couple of weeks ago over the fourth of July. Investigators say Eric Norris and friends were celebrating the holiday weekend. Detective Murch with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office told me Eric was being pulled on an inner tube when he fell off. He was swimming around waiting for the boat to swing back around when tragedy struck. Investigators say Eric was mowed over by another boat traveling about 40 mph. The vessel never stopped and Eric was rushed to the hospital. Sadly, Eric was deceased. The boat that struck Eric is described as primarily red with white striping, 25-30 foot V-hull, and the driver was last seen fleeing southbound on Lake Havasu. There may have been a female passenger on board as well. Eric’s friends and family launched a website to get the word out about his case and to announce up-coming fundraisers. The money raised will not only help to cover his funeral costs, but funds will be given to his 8-year-old son who is left behind.
ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENT MURDER (update)
Monday, July 19th, 2010
Remembering Kyleigh Sousa
The spring semester had just come to a close, and the Memorial Day weekend was on the horizon for Kyleigh Sousa. The 21-year-old Arizona State University student was on her way to grab a bite to eat with a friend around 2 a.m. when her life changed forever. Tempe Police Sgt. Steve Carbajal told me that Kyleigh was approached by a “brazen criminal” who was driving a silver Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger. He was described as being Hispanic and heavy-set. Investigators recently released a sketch, hoping it would bring in new clues. After talking to Kyleigh, the suspect grabbed her purse and she became entangled. Kyleigh was dragged by the vehicle, hit her head, and died. Sgt. Carbajal told me, “She didn’t have an opportunity to get away” and was pronounced dead at the hospital. There’s now a manhunt to find her killer.
SEX OFFENDERS QUESTIONED IN TEENS MURDER
Thursday, July 15th, 2010
Remembering Kayleah Wilson
Kayleah Wilson was murdered a few months ago as she walked to a birthday party on March 28, 2010. Hundreds of investigators combed the area in Greeley, Colorado for weeks before her body was found in a ditch. Dave Joly with the Denver FBI told me two credible witnesses reported seeing Kayleah around 4:15 p.m. on March 28, 2010, but that was the last time she was ever seen alive.
Investigators have re-traced the path she took, interviewed hundreds of people, and aren’t leaving any stone left unturned. Although Kayleah was only 12, her family said she had an 18-year-old boyfriend that she recently broke up with. That boyfriend has been questioned by authorities and is now facing charges of sexual assault on a minor. Officials have said he is a person of interest in the case, but they have not made any arrests. In fact, authorities are currently interviewing sex offenders within 100 miles of where Kayleah went missing.
MOJAVE DESERT CROSS STOLEN, REWARD AND NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
www.christianpost.com
The Mojave Desert Cross has been standing for 75 years and it is still missing. The cross was originally set in place by World War I veterans. The memorial to honor fallen soldiers was stolen two months ago and the destruction of the cross is a federal crime under the Veterans’ Memorial Preservation and Recognition Act of 2003.
The cross has been the center of a Supreme Court ruling, and a lawsuit by a former National Park Service employee. Frank Buono claims the cross is on federal land, and that violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the cross could stay on the land.
The cross stands seven feet tall; It is made of steel pipes and concrete and overlooks a million acres of desert. It appears someone was not happy with the Supreme Courts ruling.
There is now a reward for $125,000 put up by the Liberty of Institute and VFW that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. The Library Institute has also launched a website to “Put the Cross Back.”
VICTIM FOUND DEAD AND NAKED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY (update)
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
Edwinta Hereford (personal photo)
It’s been nearly two weeks since motorists found a body on the side of the 105 Freeway in Los Angeles. Investigators say Edwinta Hereford, 20, was laying naked in the emergency lane, and they believe she may have been thrown from a moving vehicle. Edwinta’s mother is now speaking out and begging anyone with information to come forward.
Remembering Edwinta Hereford
The first 9-1-1 call came in at 5:40 a.m. At first the sheriff’s department did not know Edwinta’s identity. The only thing they were working with initially was a tattoo on her back. According to Edwinta’s Facebook, she was “in a relationship” and enjoyed modeling in her spare time.
An autopsy will determine the official cause of death, but police say it does not appear that she was shot or stabbed.
