Jeffery Hubbard is the face of evil
Anyone who doubts the existence of evil should look at Jeffery Hubbard. Although his name may not be familiar to you, he is in the news again with his bid for parole. It’s no different from when his face last appeared in the media back in 2012. Hubbard is up for parole again on May 12 after being convicted of a homicide in 1986. The victim of his crime was no stranger to him either. Her name was Tiffany Hubbard, his own three-year-old daughter. Considering him for parole is beyond me. He would take a dirt nap if it were up to me.

The house that bled
Throughout my life, I have witnessed many unexplained occurrences. I figure we can’t know everything. Our creator does not make us privy to everything that happens for a reason. However, when we encounter strange events, we will keep trying to figure them out.

Have you seen Karen Spencer?
For nearly three years, I have interviewed many people from all over the country for the Catch my Killer podcast. The names and faces have changed, but the stories remain the same. It could be a loved one who has disappeared, or a murdered family member. Families are left to grieve without answers. These people have lost faith in law enforcement and accept that they may never receive answers.

Baseball, murder and an act of bravery
On April 7, 2022, Major League Baseball's latest season began. The season started without any problems since there was no lockout. Despite the long season, most teams already have high hopes of making it to the World Series. Since baseball has begun, I'd like to share a story about Clifford Wesley Latimer (aka Tacks), a former major leaguer from Loveland, Ohio, who was born on November 30, 1877.

The unsolved murder of Nancy Theobald
One of Cincinnati's most troubling homicides involved the murder of a brilliant 18-year-old University of Cincinnati student named Nancy Theobald. While attending college, Nancy worked at an Arby's restaurant that once stood on 263 Calhoun Street in Cincinnati. On November 16, 1977, Nancy finished her shift and left before 11p.m. She didn't drive and lived in a nearby apartment at 2971 Deckebach Avenue in Cincinnati with her brother and sister. On occasion, she would call her brother for a ride home.

How DNA solved the Michelle Martinko cold case
Over the years, I had seen the photograph of an attractive 18-year-old named Michelle Marie Martinko. She looked like a neighbor or someone you could call your daughter. She could have headlined a story about a local girl who received a scholarship or had received an award for her charity work.

The unsolved murder of Dayton police officer Kevin Brame
The Ohio Attorney General's website has over 2,000 images of murdered men and women who still need justice. In previous columns, I have discussed different people I have found on this site. Many of these cases have been long forgotten by the public and the media. Many have fallen by the wayside to make room for the latest unsolved homicides.

The Wall
I have closely followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Silently, I have wondered if this invasion will lead to the next world war. However, I am impressed by the sense of patriotism I'm witnessing. Ukrainians have returned home to defend their country. It would take a great deal of courage for someone to leave a safe home and give your life for your fellow countryman.

The eerie Gurdon light
Despite our best efforts, there are many mysteries in life that are beyond our grasp. One of these fascinating mysteries comes to us from Gurdon, Arkansas. Gurdon is a small city that was founded in 1819 by Captain Robert Tate and his family members.

Finding Andrea
Do you have siblings? There is a good chance you do. In fact, I have two younger brothers living in Indiana. Although I don't see them frequently, I love them both just the same. On Facebook I saw a meme that described siblings perfectly. The meme mentioned how siblings will argue over everything during childhood. However, as adults, they realize their siblings aren't so terrible.

The abduction of Jessica Gutierrez
Once all the doors and windows at home are locked, most of us feel secure at home. Call me paranoid, but before I go to sleep, I always double check my doors. If you have a security system, that provides even more security. Many years ago, I saw a story about a child abduction from out of Lexington, South Carolina. Honestly, I never thought anyone would be arrested for it. While looking through various articles, I learned a suspect was finally arrested almost 40 years after the abduction.

Whatever happened to musician Jim Sullivan?
Jim Sullivan was a musician with a large mustache. And it's no surprise that you probably don't know anything about him. Having listened to numerous blues groups, he became infatuated with music. He was a family man. He was married and followed his guitar wherever it led. In 1968, he relocated himself and his family to Los Angeles.
