A search of Derrick Robinson’s cell phone was done and at 4:46 a.m. an incoming call was received from (910) 644-7834. The phone number was checked through several Police data bases with negative results. I then searched the phone number through Facebook and learned it was assigned to a J-Rock Ru. I then attempted to see if this was the same J-Rock that went to Emily Hamlin residence on the night of the Homicide.…
In May of 2013 my grandma was in front of my little cousins preschool waiting for school to be let out when she was stabbed. Her killer’s name, Nahn at the time I only knew his first name. It wasn’t until a few days later that I discovered his last name it was a name I knew well Dong. The reason I didn’t recognize his name was because I only referred to him as Uncle. I believe that the actions of certain family members do not represent us as individuals.…
Hi Bria, I wanted to congratulate you on reaching your senior year here at UMKC! I was shocked and excited that you wanted to become a Homicide Detective because I do too. It's not a common career that many CJC students say they want to be apart of. I look forward to hearing your thoughts through out this course. Good luck in this class and in the field!…

Then what we did to resolve it was he had to buy mea new charger. Then i warned him if he ever did it again he'll be in trouble.…
We have all gathered here today to bring justice to a poor old man, who was murdered in his own house. Everyone in the court was brought here to decide if this man is guilty of being insane or guilty of murder. The murder confused to stocking this old man and claimed that he killed him because of his eye. The murders cut of all his limbs after killing him and hide him under the floorboard. When police came to his house he confused after a few minutes of silence. After a few days, lawyers, jurors, a judge, an expert, a witness, the murder, and I have all gathered here to bring justice to this old man. From my point of view, as the documenter, this trail seems like a tough decision. As of now I feel like the murder is guilty of 1st degree murder. Now at 1:44 PM the prosecution lawyer begins.…

About the only good thing that came out of me going to jail was meeting this guy named Lev. He was a skinny guy that did not look like he committed a vicious crime. He didn’t he was in jail for looting a dead German on Voinova Street. He was really rude when I tried to make company, but I could understand why because at times like these you can’t trust anyone. I asked him if he was a Jew and he did not appreciate that, because he thought I looked like a Nazi, but after he found I wasn’t he was ok with the question. I gave him some sausage because I figured he would be hungry. We both were wondering why they didn’t shoot us because that was the punishment for both of our measly little crimes. I started to take notes in my journal on Ushakovo’s…

I made myself breakfast in bed. I added salt and pepper to my eggs and used my toast to create a cheese and bacon sandwich. I squeezed the juice, the life from a grapefruit into a glass. I scraped the charred remains from the frying pan and rinsed the red substance off the counter. I washed the dishes and folded the towels.…
I began writing stories when I was young. By the time fourth grade rolled around I had tried writing books but never finished them. Every writing project I started I put in a memory box and stored away. My teacher read interesting books to my class. She would take two weeks to read a 500 page book. I enjoyed cuddling up next to watch each expression she expressed. Every couple of months my teacher set up blanket forts and let us read independently all day long. We’d read beside the light of a lamp and bring our own pillows to lay on. This was my favorite time of the year. From there, she let us write stories and read them aloud. My teacher helped develop my love for writing.…
Have you ever been through an experience where you moved to an unfamiliar location by yourself? I had the opportunity to do just that when I left my hometown in Hong Kong and come to America for a better education. I was only thirteen years of age at the time. Giving me the chance to come the U.S was the greatest gift that my parent has ever given me in my life. I appreciated them for providing me this valuable and precious chance for my thirteen years old birthday present.…
Growing up in Kokomo, Indiana there wasn’t much to the daily life in my hometown. I’d like to believe this is me telling the story of how through hard work and perseverance I could achieve my goal in high school. A goal that many told me was unachievable and stupid to pursue. What is this goal you wonder? My goal was to play Basketball at Kokomo High School.…
Starting from a place I remembered as a teen, moving from a place that was warm to a place that had all four seasons; such as winter, spring, summer and fall. The First place that I grew up was surrounded by mountains. During the winter it was full of white snow, something that I was never used to seeing coming from California where all one would see was sandy beaches and the waves clasping one another. As I remember being so new to Park City, UT all I could see was the wonderful views of trees, mountains and people skiing or snowboarding. I have to say this was a fond memory because for the firs time I was actually able to experience the feeling of what winter was…
I am so happy and at peace with myself! The game is over and I have won. It has been so much fun killing each person in a new and creative way. As I have written many times before, each deserved to die and I was the perfect person to do it. Without me, justice would never have come to these murderers!…
