Mystery
It was Thursday when I go the call from the police department I used to work for, the told me there was a kidnapping and they needed immediate help. The first thing I did when I got there was listen to the 911 call of the incident. “ 911 what’s your emergency?” “ I just witnessed my daughter being kidnapped by a man with a beard and a Red Sox baseball hat on in a red volvo!” “Ma’am, what is your daughter name, age and what does she look like?” “Her name in Rachel, she is 15 and has medium length brown hair and was wear blue jeans with a pink t-shirt” “ Ok ma’am we are sending sending help now.” I went to the the scene of the crime. There I talked to the mother, Michelle, and investigated the place where she was taken. There I found a very different kind of tire track pattern, an empty box of Pall Mall cigarettes, and a receipt to Ace Hardware, he bought a wooden chair and some rope also he paid with cash. I bagged it all up and took it back to the police department where they looked for fingerprints and unfortunately found none. After, I started looking on our past kidnapping criminals how have recently been released from jail but I could not find any that connected to the family or the girl. I was at a stand still and did not know where to turn so I went to bed.
I woke up the next day no further in my investigation than I was when I first started. I decided to go back to the crime scene. Driving through the neighborhood Rachel was kidnapped in I noticed something very peculiar, the same rare tire tracks at the scene were on a driveway to a house no more than five houses down with a foreclosure sign . I decided to walk up to the front door and ask them if they had heard or seen anything dealing with the kidnapping. As I walked to the front I noticed the final thing that made me believe I found my culprit, a Red Sox door mat. I rang the doorbell twice before a tall blond women came to the door. “May I help you, Sr.” she said. I showed her my badge and told her I

    This article is about the kidnapping of Carlina White. Carlina Renae White was born July 15, 1987 and was also known as Nejdra “Netty” Nance. Carlina White was a 23 year old US American citizen who had solved her own kidnapping case at the age of 23. This abduction was known to represent the longest known gap in a non –parental abduction where the victim was returned back to their parents. The story begins when Carlina was just 19 days old when her parents Carl Tyson and Joy white had taken Carlina to the hospital due to her having high fever on August 4, 1987. Unfortunately, they realized that Carlina had swallowed fluid during her delivery and had developed an infection. A woman had overseen Carlina while she was in the hospital however; she was not a hospital employee. This mysterious lady seemed to be normal and had then comforted the parents of Carlina three weeks before the abduction. Baby Carlina disappeared early one morning while the shifts were changing. Unfortunately, the cameras in the hospital where not operating, so the police had nothing to go on but a description from Joy and Carl. The baby was receiving antibiotics when the IV line was cut and she was abducted. One of the hospital guards said that she did recognize the same lady that Joy and Carl described; however, there was no baby with her. The police assumed that the baby could well have been hidden in her smock. This case became the first well known infant abduction from the New York hospital. The city of New York offered a $10,000 cash reward for the return of Carlina. The parents Joy and Carl quickly filed a 100 million dollar suit against the hospital in 1989, and received a 750,000 settlement in 1992. Carlina was raised by Annugetta Pettway in Bridgeport, Connecticut as Nejdra Nance. Throughout the years Carlina grew suspicious because she had no social security card and a forged birth certificate by her assumed mother Annugetta. Carlina also…

    Bringing Adam Home Analysis

    Anytime a question of jurisdiction is involved, it is important for agencies to work together and share information to solve the case. It is not uncommon for the Federal investigators to get involved in child abduction cases. In this particular case, Florida senator Paula Hawkins tried to get the FBI involved in the search for Adam Walsh. The FBI was reluctant to interfere in the case however. If Hollywood PD was searching for a suspect somewhere out of state then the feds would be more than happy to lend a hand (Standiford & Matthews, 2011, p. 149). In 1988, FBI Deputy Director Alan Burgess advised that the Adam Walsh case had entered into the new nationwide database known as VICAP, the Violent Crime Apprehension Program. The FBI-VICAP became the national repository for violent crimes, collating data on homicides, sexual assaults, missing persons, and unidentified human remains (Standiford & Matthews, 2011, p. 164). In 1988, the Walsh family received a letter from Toole confessing to the crime and trying to extort money in exchange for the location of Adam Walsh’s bones. The letter was given to Detective Hoffman and he filed the letter away citing a lack of physical evidence. Several years later, when the Walsh Family spoke to the Michael Satz at the State Attorney’s Office, he advised that he was not aware of the letter. The book demonstrated Detective Hoffman’s failure to share information based…

    On a cold, rainy night in March 1932, late in the evening, a baby by the name of Charles Lindbergh, Jr., was snatched from the nursery of their home in Hopewell, New Jersey. The kidnappers left a small, white envelope on a radiator case near the nursery window. An investigation by the Police outside the house turned up a broken homemade extension ladder. The side rails of the middle section of the ladder were split, indicating that the ladder broke when the kidnapper came down the ladder with the baby. What was also discovered were a chisel and two (2) different sets of footprints that lead away from the house in a southeastern direction towards some car tracks. By the next morning the news of the kidnapping had been broadcasted to the world, and reporters, camera men, bystanders, and souvenir hunters flocked over the Lindbergh estate. If there were any evidence not already taken by the police, it was lost in the aftermath (Johnson, 2007).…
