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.

Keillers Park Murder
There are a lot of criminal cases from around the world that barely (or never) make English-language news.

A date with Evil
It was May 1, 2013. The sun has not yet risen into the sky. I had just reached over to turn off my alarm clock. It is 5:30 a.m. I have started receiving some text messages, " Hey it's Shane, I will pay you $50.00 to do me a favor." I asked him what it was that he needed. He goes on to explain to me that he's very intoxicated, he is at a friend's house, he needs to leave before this guy's mother wakes up and kicks him out. I was already awake getting ready to go to work this morning anyway.
