Lady killer?
In the next few posts, I’ll be sharing a few of the theories that folks have shared with me about the murder of Stacey Burns. Obviously, I will not be sharing names, neither of the killer named in these theories nor the person espousing the theory. This post...New Hampshire-Drugs and Murder
Apparently, if one is to believe the news reports, drug usage, particularly heroin, is the major problem facing the state of New Hampshire. This according to a poll taken among New Hampshire voters and reported in the Wall Street Journal in November. Well,...Cracks in the Wall-Update
Some of my followers have asked how the new novel, Cracks in the Wall, is coming along so this is a brief report on that project for those who are interested. (or even for those who are not interested) I hit a major slowdown in progress over the last month and half...How Time Flies!

After packing away the last of the Christmas decorations today, I thought about a Christmas past when I was asked to give the homily in our church on the Sunday after Christmas, a notoriously poor attendance day. The basic theme of my “message” was this:...Crime Lab Supervisor
Today, I played golf with a man who served as a supervisor in a major state police crime lab. Between searching for my errant shots, I asked him about his work and told him some things about the Stacey Burns murder. He was astounded that so much information has...
