Whodunnit, and why? All about criminal investigations and the forensic methods used to search for clues and collect evidence to get to the bottom of the crime.
Reason First: 16-Year-Old Girl Killed, Lockdown Fails
Glass shards covered the pavement. These remain part of the scene of a grim story of another fatal shooting in Wilmington, Delaware. The victim, 16-year-old Janaija Johnson received rounds in the Quaker Hill section of the city. All of this occurred during the state of emergency imposed by Governor John Carney. The lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic did not stop an assailant from gunning down Johnson. The fact remains that a young girl is dead. She could’ve been studying for an online course prior to being shot and killed. She could’ve been braiding hair. Now she’s as cold as winter earth, but this is the beginning of spring.

Reason First: Why are People Still Getting Shot in Wilmington, Delaware?
As the death toll rises in America to surpass China due to the novel coronavirus, there remain shooters out in these Wilmington, Delaware streets. For what? Little details surface regarding the actual incidents. News reporters just say the age and gender of the victim or survivor and when and where they received rounds to the body among other details. Rarely is the discussion of a reason why the person was shot or any leads on who perpetrated the shooting. In Wilmington, Delaware, the news of someone getting shot has become such a normalcy that when world changing events like the spread of COVID-19 hit, it becomes just another section of the daily journal.

Thoughts on the Sodder Children Disappearance
Let me be honest here: I do not have any amazing new information to present in this case. In fact, I'll admit that I only recently learned about this entire story. However, I will do my best to put the details into perspective, though they seem forever scrambled regardless of how they're pieced together.

Reason First: Did Evil Hands Spark this Delaware Fire?
Smoke plumed from what was once a structure planned to provide housing. This story appeared in the Crime Section of Delawareonline.com app. Is this a suggestion that an arsonist caused this whole scene of destruction? The case is under investigation and the State Fire Marshal of the New Castle County Division wants answers. But isn’t it clear? Whomever sparked the blaze is against property rights. This is all said because of the criminal link to this story. More often than not, fires set to buildings under construction remain the handiwork of suspects out to destroy values. Even the beleaguered FEMA website has a section on arsonists and construction sites. So it would appear as if this alleged arsonist was equipped with just enough combustibles to burn the would-be-house down to the earth.

The start of something criminal
There are real problems going in our society that people are either unaware of or they simply close their eyes and pretend they do not affect them or even exist . But these problems only get worse with time . Maybe those who believe as so many do have developed a habit of ignoring social issues and really think they are not directly impacted by the problems that are all around us . But in reality given enough time the same issues that were looked over and discounted as being irrelevant will eventually make their way to their doorstep. Those unaffected will be affected.

The Security of Art in Egypt
An elite group of art thieves breaking into an Egyptian museum is a romanticized notion that movies and works of fiction have speculated about for what seems like centuries. For today’s museums, however, protecting ever-popular ancient works of art is a huge and costly reality. The need to protect artifacts from theft, while still allowing patrons to see and learn from these works, is a complicated science. Security on all popular works of art is important, but it is specifically important for ancient works, which are subject to natural erosion and destruction over time as well as destruction due to crime.

The Gardner Art Theft
The laws pertaining to art theft cases have always been subject to changes and upheavals. As of today, there is a twenty-year statute of limitations on art theft. However, in the past, the government only allowed a five-year statute of limitations for general thefts, including artwork. How long an investigation should continue before the FBI finds a culprit or the case closes without a conclusion has always been subject for debate. This debate continues now that the statute of limitations has expired on one of the biggest art thefts in the world- the theft from the Isabella Gardner Museum.

Reason First: Could Knowingly Spreading COVID-19 Be Considered a Crime?
Where is the line drawn on the fact that COVID-19 could possibly be spread intentionally? White supremacist groups, according to law enforcement papers, plan to weaponize the COVID-19 virus. While it may be just a hollow shell and not a full clip of live rounds, police agencies are considering what a bioweapon would look like with this novel disease. These groups target non-whites primarily but wouldn’t there be collateral damage as the brown, black, red, and yellow people that potentially could spread the coronavirus to whites? Neo-Nazis and skinheads may not have thought that far in their devious planning. Or they see such people as sacrifices for “the greater cause.”

Hungry Like The Wolf
Filicide, by definition, is the deliberate act of a parent that murders their own child. The word by itself sounds as sinister as the deed, and the deed is unimaginable to most of the population. Though filicide applies to both parents, it is particularly shocking when a woman ends or attempts to end the lives of her children. Children born of her own body. How can a woman willingly and knowingly cause a defect in the flesh of her flesh, and watch as the blood of her blood spills from that defect?

Johnny’s Data Diving Part 5: Is Ghislaine Maxwell Sharing Child Porn in Canada? - Free by Royal Decree.
I had been intently tracking a pedophile who was sharing their perverse data from the Canadian city of Montreal. The username had caught my attention and left me hooked on this specific hunt. The IP address was coming from a small cladded office building surrounded by a high quality security fence with CCTV cameras which covered all perspectives. A pleasing row of large satellite dishes lined the rear of the relatively plain facility and there was no signage to inform a passing onlooker of what kind of business was located inside. The property had about four floors and sat alongside the local Home Depot’s car park on the western edge of downtown Montreal.
