In 1990, when it was night time in Singapore. Kelly and her boyfriend James were walking at the East Coast Park until they sat down on the stairs of the Amber Beacon Tower. Suddenly, two masked men appeared and started stabbing them with a knife. James managed to throw the first attacker off the railing and Kelly ran downstairs calling for help but the second attacker managed to catch up on her and stabbed her at the neck. The two attackers ran into the darkness never to be seen again. James went to a nearby restaurant to seek help but he collapsed when he arrived. James was taken to the hospital and he survived but Kelly tragically died from her injuries. James was only able to give a bit of information to the police about the two masked men. James claimed that the first attacker had a long dark hair and was 173cm tall and the second attacker had a curly hair and was 167cm tall. He also claimed to have heard the attackers speak in an unfamiliar language that didn't sound English, Chinese, Malay or Tamil. The Singapore Police believed that the attackers are foreigners. There were no suspects and the police were unable to solve the case. People began to report hearing Kelly's spirit crying at the Amber Beacon Tower and seeing bloodstains dripping at the tower as well as seeing Kelly's spirit roaming near the tower at night. It is believed that Kelly's spirit haunts the tower until the two masked men are brought to justice. If the attackers were indeed foreigners then they might have already escaped Singapore long time ago. Kelly's family offered a S$30,000 reward for the capture of the killers. In 1992, a show titled "Crimewatch" recreated the incident showing how James and Kelly were attacked. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_Beacon_Tower_murder

Crime scene units are present at the home where Leigh and her mother lived in 1992, when Leigh disappeared.

In 2007 there were a string of murders and robberies in Boca Raton which, to this day, go unanswered. These cases are so shocking because they occur in broad daylight and all took place, or at least originated, at the Boca Town Center Mall. It is so surprising that they are unsolved because of the very distinct and noticeable aspects of the case, such as the tools the perpetrator used and the description given to the police by one surviving victim. These crimes seam to be very thought out and planned. They happen over a 10 month period, and 3 crimes are reported. 

Double Homicide

On December 12th 2007 at the Boca Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, FL, Nancy Bochicchio, 47, and her daughter, 7 year old Joey Bochicchio-Houser were found bound and shot in a black SUV. Earlier that day, Nancy had picked up her daughter early from school for a doctors appointment. The two had stopped by the mall that afternoon to do some Christmas shopping. 

According to police’s timeline:

— About 2 p.m., Nancy and Joey entered the mall.

— At 3:11 p.m., they’re seen on surveillance video leaving the mall from the Sears entrance.

— At 3:14 p.m., there was a call from Nancy Bochicchio’s phone to 911, but it immediately hung up. A dispatcher called back within a minute but got no answer.

— At 3:19 p.m., Bochicchio is seen on video surveillance withdrawing money from an ATM right by the mall. (Police reports say there seems to be people in the back seat of the car at this time)

— Later that night a mall security guard noticed Bochicchio’s black 2007 Chrysler Aspen parked near the south side of Sears at the mall. The bodies of both victims were found inside. 

It seemed the pair was kidnapped in the mall parking lot in the middle of the day, forced to withdraw money from a nearby ATM, taken back to the mall parking lot and shot to death. Hours later, Bochicchio’s credit cards and cell phone were found in Miami. They also report that the zip ties and duct tape used on the victims were purchased in Miami. 

[Depending on where in Miami, Boca Town Center is about an hour north. Boca is known to be a wealthy community which could be why the person(s) from Miami, came so far to commit these crimes] 

They were bound with zip-ties and handcuffs and were wearing blacked out goggles. These items were reminiscent of ones used in a carjacking case back in August of that same year. 

Carjacking/Kidnapping

On August 7th, 2007 at around 1pm a woman and her 2-year-old son were getting back into their car after doing some shopping at the Boca Town Center Mall. The woman says that she put her son in his carseat first, then went to the trunk to put the stroller away. As she walks back her the front, she hears her son calling for her and she sees that there is a man sitting in her car. She describes him as being about 6 feet tall, with a long brown ponytail, wearing driving gloves, and having a floppy hat and wrap-around shades. 

The man forces her to go to an ATM and withdraw money. Then he takes over driving. He puts her in handcuffs, zip ties her ankles together, zip ties her neck to the headrest, and puts a pair of darkened sunglasses with duct tape on her so she can’t see. After about 2 hours, he returns them to the mall. He uses her phone to allow her to call her son’s father and tell him her truck has broken down. 

Before he left her, he gave her instructions for when the police come. He said “Now, when the police come, I want you to tell them that I’m short, fat and black.” He then replaces the sunglasses with blacked out swimming goggles (similar to the ones that would be found at the Bochicchio scene). 

Police have connected these two cases. Chances are the offender progressed to murder in the Bochicchio case or that Nancy responded in a way that he didn’t like and he murdered them as a result of that. Either way, it has been 14 years and both cases are still unsolved. 

3rd Case Possibly Connected

On March 23rd, 2007, Randi Gorenberg was abducted from the Boca Town Center Mall. An hour and a half later, she was shot and tossed from the passenger side of her Mercedes SUV near Governor Lawton Chiles Memorial Park. Her car was found 2 miles away. Detectives speculate that whoever committed this crime was attempting to rob her. Randi did not have a debit card and instead made all purchases using a credit card. This could mean that she was unable to withdraw from an ATM.

Xzibit released Deeper in 1998 after Pac also mistakenly thought Paparazi was a dis in relation to Tupac's career/history.

This would have been very early to drop who actually killed Tupac.... Was it a Gotti family associate? Xzibit hints that it was.

I've always listened to this track and wondered but there isn't enough information specifically and it's cryptic...

I believe X is talking about the MGM fight night where Pac was shot up however, and Pacs trip to Astoria in NYC where Pac became gang affiliated in spite of his success leading to his ultimate demise.

Ice T a close friend/associate of Pac at the time has also talked about how reckless it was for Pac to turn up in NYC with everything that went down.

As background, at the time in 1996 Xzibit had just released his hip hop hit, and now anthem "Paparazi" which started a beef with Pac. Pac was thinking it was written as a dis track about Pac, Xzibit later admitted it wasn't... However... it wouldn't be beyond X to drop the truth given what was going on given the beef with Pac at the time.

I'm of the view that X may know who exactly killed Pac.

"How deep?, going to the place where the mother fuckin problems at" in NYC which would have been a reference to Pacs visits to New York, and the recording projects Pac was working on shortly prior to Pac's death.

Knowing some of the pieces of history that have come out, especially since Ice T opened up about what Pac was doing in NYC at the time and everything else it makes a lot of sense to me.

The police have never officially filed a charge in relation to Tupac's death almost 30 years later. The only thing left though seems to be Keffe D's connection to P Diddy which would fill in all the holes it seems. Keefe D was connected through LA to New York at the time as a PCP dealer with connections in New York to someone apparently known as "Eric Martin" on the basis of what has been released (whether that's his real name or not).

I think X knew who it was related to way back in the 1990s, but may not have wanted to go deep on it especially considering that it may have been a mafia related hit.

All of this is developed from publicly available information that is easily fact checked, I've been developing this for a while, and it always struck me since I heard the track in the 90s, but with the availability of public record information these days and it being so long people are willing to talk now a lot more makes sense.

note that Doug's real last name was Costello but when writing articles of his murder, it was misspelled as Castillo

So Doug was my dad's friend, I'm pretty young and I don't know where to start so Reddit ig.

My dad and Doug both had been living in rural Eastern Oregon until one day in 2006 when Doug packed a few things on his motorcycle and drove to San Mateo California. He went to go live with his friend Shawn Weemes. For a while he just stayed in San Mateo, working in manager position at a TGI Friday. Fast forward to January of 2008, Doug is closing the store. His girlfriend/fiance usually came in to visit, but that night he was working late and she didn't. He didn't come home that night, and in the morning Doug was found by a daytime manager dead on the store floor. At first the police department thought he had been shot, but it turned out that he had died of blunt force trauma. The even sadder part of this was that he was planning on marrying his girlfriend, they were planning on shopping for a promise ring, and she was pregnant with Doug's child (she unfortunately had a miscarriage after his death). That's what is making me want to solve this case so badly, he was such a sweet guy and he didn't deserve to die that way. Anyway, the San Mateo Police Department was very iffy on a lot of the details surrounding what happened. They never said where in the building he was found, they never said if there was surveillance in the building [after speaking to a former employee I can say there were no cameras IN the building, but there was cameras in the Hillsdale Mall and it was also right next to a train station which also had cameras, suggesting there may have been video evidence of someone entering the building], and when a police spokesperson was asked if there were any possible suspects, they said "we are not currently in the position to rule out any person". They never said if there was any DNA evidence either, and they never said if a murder weapon was found. All they said was that it was a suspected attempted robbery gone wrong. All im saying is that if someone is dressed for a robbery and then kills someone, there's gonna be some sort of DNA evidence. Marji Fields, a person who frequented the store, said that over the past 6 months there had been some 20 and 21 year olds coming in and having altercations. Doug was a manager, which would mean he would have been the one to break up the fights. I think this was on purpose, and someone had a plan to kill Doug. Anyway, I don't know what to do and once I'm able to be in San Mateo i don't think the PD would be willing to help. I'll link some sources and articles if I can as well.

Hi so i got part of that wrong and now I have even more questions. The article I read states that "Waiter Akeem Holland said he worked the night shift at the restaurant Sunday and saw four employees still in the restaurant when he left at 2:30 a.m." when did the others go home because Doug was found at 5:00 AM??

A former employee of the TGI Friday's reached out to me via Reddit to help answer some questions for me. They told me there were no cameras in the building, and that by closing time there were 2 bartenders, 1-2 kitchen staff, and the manager was usually in the office counting tills. They also said that the back door was typically open as they were taking out trash and such. So there are a couple questions that arise from this. One, maybe somebody slipped through the back door as it was unlocked and hid until the other employees left, and then decided to kill Doug? But that begs the question, why? To rob the place? Did they go there specifically to kill Doug? SMPD has never stated if money was taken, all they said was that they believed it was an attempted robbery. So we will not know if the money in the building was a factor of Doug's murder until SMPD comes out and states it, which will probably not happen anytime soon unless we put pressure on them to do so. The next question, was everyone gone by the time Doug was murdered? If they were, shouldn't the door have been locked? And if they weren't gone by the time Doug was murdered, that means someone saw something and may have key witness information that would be crucial to finding Doug's killer. Akeem Holland stated there were FOUR employees still in the building when he left at 2:30 AM, and Doug was found at roughly 5:10 AM. That's an extremely small amount of time for one employee to be murdered and have 4 employees not see ANYTHING happen.

I recommend reading the articles because they do a much better job explaining than I do

Also I will be posting this on multiple subreddits, upvotes, comments and questions help a lot with pushing this further into the Reddit algorithm and help Doug get the justice such a kind man like him deserves!

In August 1991, Julie Patterson, a 39-year-old woman living alone with her dog in Fountain Hills, Arizona, was brutally murdered in her home. She was found in her bedroom, having been struck in the head with a blunt object while she slept. There were no signs of forced entry, suggesting Julie either knew her attacker or the perpetrator gained access through an unlocked door or window. Some of her personal belongings were reportedly missing, raising the possibility of robbery, but no definitive evidence supported this as the sole motive.

The investigation faced immediate setbacks. The day after Julie’s murder, a mass shooting at a Buddhist temple in Waddell, Arizona, claimed nine lives and diverted law enforcement resources. Despite efforts by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, the case stalled due to a lack of physical evidence. The murder weapon was never recovered, and no fingerprints or DNA linked a suspect to the scene. This left detectives with little to go on, and the case quickly went cold.

Decades later, Julie’s family continues to push for answers, advocating for a fresh look at the case using modern forensic techniques. They remember her as a vibrant and loving woman whose life was tragically cut short. Although the lack of forced entry and limited evidence have made the case difficult to solve, her family holds onto hope that advances in technology or new leads could finally bring the justice Julie deserves. Her murder remains a haunting unsolved mystery for both her loved ones and the Fountain Hills community.

Update: So through Reddit, I have been connected with someone helping me now. She knew my dad personally, and has given me a suspect the police didn't. I also recently posted on FB and we got some really good responses! About 300 shares, 300 comments and near 900 comments, on Myrtle Beach History's page!

So, I decided to make a public group for anyone that wants to join and help! I've heard so many good things about my father and I basically want to keep that going in a group for him. The page is called “Justice For Jim” with this flyer below 👇👇👇

I am sharing this for my friend Shawn Davis who is the son of Jim Davis. Does anyone in here remember Jim Davis? He was a gas station clerk that worked the old pantry off kings hwy. He was shot and killed back in 2003, on Oct 23. I'm the only kid that lived with him at the time but he had two others counting on him. That being said, it was just me and him living together. I just turned 16, as I was starting St. James HS. He had to drive me every morning (and pick me up) because it was the first year St. James opened and I was out of district. This was my 2nd year going to school in SC as well as living with my dad (since the split). I moved in with my dad because I spent a week vacation and really enjoyed being with him. I struggled through school with fighting and attendance, along with many other things. He got me into a learning center, and I started thinking about college for the first time in my life. He was shot and killed for $43 a year and about a half after I moved in. My life turned upside down. I was charged for "attempted murder" but not convicted for a fight when I was 17, and have gone through much more time. I was so angry but I felt the caring man he was living in me and decided to turn my life around. So I moved to Houston to get out of the community I was in, and be a more carrying person, as he was. Now, l'm asking for help after 21 years. He's helped so many people, and I know someone wants it to talk. Please PLEASE PLEASE help me and my family! My brother is currently locked up, my sister is in recovery and I'm struggling with holding everything together for everyone. I get so angry because I need and needed him so much my whole life and he wanted to be there for me, but was taken. I would not have been the person I am, if he didn't live so kindly with me. I turned 16 on Oct 2, he turned 43 on Oct 12, he died for $43 on Oct 23

Does anybody remember a true crime case, it took place in the United States. A women was murdered. I believe she was in her early fifties and she was murdered showing dogs she bred on her property. Somebody called to come see the dogs, and when her family tried to contact her later they could not get a hold of her and she was found murdered I believe on the property.

Can you help look into unsolved double murder in Henderson Nevada. Dominick and Eric Concepcion were home when they were brutally murdered in their condo. Only one paper when reported the issue in July 2002 when it happened. I'm not good on the computer but please help spread awareness on this 20 year old cold case. #whokilledtheCONCEPCIONbrothers

Are there any new leads that anyone knows of in the unsolved murder of Carole Williams Dyer of Richmond, Virginia? She died in the 80s in Florida under suspicious circumstances and is thought to have been killed by Charles (Toby) Dyer. They are my grandparents.

After doing my Ancestry DNA and Family tree I'm very interested in learning more about this case.

Alistair Wilson was a banker aged 30 living in Nairn in the Scottish Highlands who was shot to death on his doorstep on 28 November 2004. The ensuing murder inquiry was one of the largest ever carried out in Scotland and the crime remains unsolved. The apparent lack of motive and other unexplained elements of the murder have led to it being described as 'Scotland's most mysterious unsolved crime' and 'one of the most baffling cases of modern times', and it has attracted ongoing press coverage.

I do not know how I have never heard of this case but after stumbling across Crime Junkie's two episode coverage of the murder of Beth Barnard (and subsequent mystery of Vivienne Cameron) I immediately listened to The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron podcast. My mind is blown!

My immediate reaction is WTF. How in the world did the Phillip Island police successfully cover this up for Fergus Cameron?? To me, the convoluted stories and behaviors of Fergus, Donald, Marnie, Ian and Pam regarding that day make it very obvious that Fergus was responsible for it all. I get that police departments have been in the pocket of wealthy and influential families since the dawn of time...but this case is so obvious that I'm surprised they were even able to cover it for them.

My theory is that Fergus went to Beth's house after he was done working on September 22. Based on Beth's conversations with her friends, she was going to give Fergus an ultimatum regarding finally leaving Vivienne and potentially breaking up with Fergus. I believe that Fergus killed her then and he received his wounds at this time. He then goes home to Vivienne and tells her that he broke it off with Beth and that she attacked him but not mentioning to Viv that Beth was dead. Viv, happy that her husband has apparently decided to keep their marriage intact, drives him to the hospital so that he can receive treatment for his wounds. According to the podcast series, hospital staff report that Vivienne was calm and that Fergus was the emotional one during this time. A doctor slightly conflicts with what the nurses say in terms of the vibe and instead characterizes there to be "tension". I expect that the events of the evening are swirling in Fergus' head. In the couple of hours that Viv and Fergus are at the hospital, he likely starts to stress about being found out for the murder. He decides to frame Viv. So when they get home from the hospital, he kills Viv. He disposes of her in some way on the family's vast farm, then collects items from their home to frame her for Beth's murder. He transported the towels and cigarettes to Beth's house and then proceeds to carve the Scarlet Letter onto Beth's abdomen and covers her body with the comforter/duvet. This is key. From many other true crime stories, murderers who cover the body of their victim often have some relationship and affection for the person killed. I also think that the cover was placed long after she was killed because none of the accounts of Ian and Donald or of the initial responding officers say that blood was visible on the blanket itself. If it had been placed immediately after she was killed while blood was still leaking out and fresh/wet, I have to think blood would have shown. The police's theory that Viv killed Beth in a vicious rage....so vicious and heinous that she carves the letter A on Beth's abdomen...that Viv then covers her. Just doesn't make sense to me! Once Fergus left his and Viv's house, it is my guess that Marnie or Pam call the Dixon's posing as Viv, asking the Dixons to go get the boys.

And then the stories and movements of the broader Cameron crew go off the rails, IMO.

What are your theories?

On August 14, 2021 Pine Bluff police found the body of a man and an injured woman in a house on N. Pryce Street. They never released the name of the man and never provided any updates, even when the injured woman passed away in the hospital a few days later. I believe the name of the man was Jimmy Glover, but I haven't even found an obituary. It's so odd that there's never been any information at all.
