Crime Radio

Clews: The Historic True Crime Blog has an interesting post regarding a show on National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation program.

From the program’s description:

For 10 years, the media and the police continued to investigate the highly publicized murder of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey. But thousands of unsolved cases gather dust in police files. Why do some cases move to the top of the list?

Says blogger James:

The audio is available at The Anatomy of Unsolved Murder Cases.

Host Neal Conan interviewed two guests: Valencia Mohammed, mother of two murder victims, both unsolved crimes; founder of support group for mothers of unsolved crimes.

Lou Eliopulos, forensic consultant and senior homicide analyst for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service; author of Death Investigator’s Handbook.

The show delves into two themes: Why does the justice system solve some murders and not others? And how are cold case squads doing?

Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
