    I believe that Horace Throat commited the murder of Mr. Dusty Mantel at the Inn owned by Mrs. Eve Dropper. Although all the occupants of the Inn had it in for Dusty due to his immoral means and conniving ways, only one of them brought his life to a sudden end. Both Anita Mann, his girlfriend, and Chester Drauers were conspiring against him. She wanted out of the relationship because she was “tired of Dusty beating on her” and Drauers wanted the Tiffany Lamp because he had knowledge of its true value. Drauers told Anita that he would take care of everything and later after the auction he phoned the mob boss, Don Angelini, for a hit on Dusty. Don said it would take two days time and there would be a man. Since two days did not pass from this call and there was no other man or suspect I ruled out Drauers and Anita’s involvement in his death even though they had direct contact with his tea cup. OJ Glasse was being blackmailed by Dusty Mantel, about the second and final Will that he discovered on his dead brother’s desk. He works for the FBI as a bio-chemist and would probably have access to potassium cyanide, but he “couldn’t even kill a rat for an experiment”, not to mention there was no direct opportunity after Dusty left to change. Tiffany Glasse had been robbed of her father’s fortune by Dusty, yet, she did not seem to know about it. She did know that he had outbid her for her mothers beloved Tiffany Lamp from which she was named. Eve Dropper overheard them arguing and yelling at each other, presumably about the lamp. She wasn’t near his table before he died and she did not have the opportunity to poison Dusty. Eve dropper was my next suspect idea, but I too, ruled her out as the murderer. She had it all, motive, opportunity and Ability (to some extend). She was the reason he left the room to change and he was about to inform her about the foreclosure on the Inn. There was only one commonality with the rat poison and the tea cup: Sodium, an alkaloid. Although he…

    In February 1981, after daily paper records of the fiber analysis, the killer started dumping bodies in Chattahoochee River. The victims were additionally bare, or nearly bare. It gave the idea that the murderer was observing media coverage of the killings, and changing his strategies to decrease fiber evidence on the victim's bodies. Police started staking out bridges along the Chattahoochee River with an end goal to find the murderer dumping a body. Early on the morning of May 22, 1981, police stake out heard a splash and spotted a station wagon on the James Jackson Parkway Bridge, in which the vehicle was stopped and the driver was twenty-three-year-old Wayne Bertram Williams, a music promoter. He was questioned by police, and claimed that…

    Mary Sullivan was a 19 year old girl who moved from Cape Cod to Boston. She rented an apartment in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. In January 1964, a few days after she moved in, she was found dead. She was raped and strangled to death. She was one of 11 women who Albert DeSalvo, also known as the Boston Strangler, confessed to killing. Later he denied his confession, leaving doubts in the investigator's mind about the possibility that the real killer had been let off on the hook. DeSalvo was never convicted of any of the Strangler killings, but he was sentenced to life in prison on other rape charges. He was stabbed to death in 1973. For decades after his death, experts argued about whether he really was the Strangler or whether someone else…

    In the 1930s, Cleveland, Ohio, was becoming a booming metropolis. However, the talk of the decade soon appeared to be about the unsolved murders of multiple victims. The city’s safety director and police were stumped and challenged for over a decade in an effort to solve the cases presented before them. One in particular case aimed to solve the murder of a middle-aged woman known as Florence Genevieve Polillo. To this day, an official confession or discovery has not been made on who the actual killer of Polillo was; although much of the evidence suggests that Dr. Frank Sweeney is the murderer of not only Polillo, but also eleven other innocent…

    He was a student of Cesare Lombroso, often regarded as the father of criminology. He rejected the doctrine of free will (which was the main tenet of the Classical School) and supported the position that crime can be understood only if it is studied by scientific methods. He attempted to formulate a sociological definition of crime that would designate those acts which can be repressed by punishment. These constituted "Natural Crime" and were considered offenses violating the two basic altruistic sentiments common to all people, namely, probity and piety. Crime is an immoral act that is injurious to society. This was more of a psychological orientation than Lombroso's physical-type…

    After the shooting of Salvatore Colasberna, Captain Bellodi goes on a mad goose chase to find the cause and culprit of this murder. Throughout this chase, there are grand attempts to conceal the truth and hide what is going on. The reader slowly begins to discover small indications as to the picture of what is going on in this corrupted Sicilian society. Immediately after police officers began investigating, the bus driver, who was right next to the shooting, attempts to mask the truth. When the sergeant-major inquired about how many passengers were on the bus, the driver responded saying, “How should I know…More than five or six though. Maybe more; maybe the bus was full. I never look to see who’s there. I just get into my seat and off we go. The road’s the only thing I look at; that’s what I’m paid for…to look at the road” (Sciascia 11). Instantly after the shooting, the reader is introduced to a little hint that the truth of the shooting may be concealed. The sergeant-major later points out that the bus driver should know the amount of passengers because he tears off the passengers’ tickets. This concealment of truth leads the reader to believe there is an underlying reason…
