#9 Amber...Alert!











Kidnapping a child has always a tragic outcome for a victim, the child is murdered, assaulted, harassed hours after it has been gone. The case of Amber Hagerman had been long and its end was fatal for her, her closest relatives, everyone who had been involved in the search and help.



Amber and her brother were cycling toward the abandoned grocery, Amber was heading for it at the front, her brother, turned back just a block of flats away from it. There were many witnesses who had seen Amber cycling back and forth, all the way long … there was also an eye witness who saw the kidnapping. Shortly after it happened he called the police. The search was instant. 





By the time Amber’s brother reached home, the police had already been there, questioning Amber’s grandfather and the locals. The police tried to explain the motive, the reason, the possible Amber's location, they were almost sure it was a random grab, an impulse, the kidnapper simply decided “It is She”. Four tremendously difficult days … and an outrageous discovery, the Amber’s body had been found. She died on January 17, 1996 . 





During the autopsy, the truth had been revealed, the girl had been sexually assaulted, she lived for two days before she died, before the nightmare eased.



The investigation had many angels, the FBI traced many traits,  none of them directly led to the murder. The killer had not been found. However the case is not cold … the police believes one day, the right day comes ….

#4 A Peculiar Character of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey

His mysterious death was supposed to be silent and left behind, in contrary, it caused mayhem and upheavals shortly after it occurred. His noble background opened him the gate to British Parliament, He was very-well educated, he attended to Westminster School, graduated Christ Church, Oxford. In September 1666 he received a knighthood. Despite of being Protestant he had a significant number of his Catholic counterparts, including the Duke of York, the future king James II. Unfortunately not every alley he made was a good one, he was pronounced a member of so-called ‘Peyton Gang’ which was closely associated with Green Ribbon Club.

He was crushed by the gove...

The Classification of Gunshot Wounds

Gunshot wounds are either penetrating or perforating. Penetrating wounds occur when a bullet enters an object and does not exit; in perforating wounds, the bullet passes completely through the object. A wound, however, can be both penetrating and perforating. Gunshot wounds can be divided into four broad categories, depending on the range from the muzzle to target: contact, near contact, intermediate, and distant. In contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is held against the surface of the body at the time of discharge. Contact wounds may be hard, loose, angled, or incomplete . In hard-contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is jammed “hard” against the skin, indenting it, so that the skin envelops the muzzle. In hard contact wounds, the immediate edges of the entrance are seared by the hot gases of combustion and blackened by the soot. This soot is embedded in the seared skin and cannot be completely removed either by washing or by vigorous scrubbing of the wound. In...
