Crimes locally here in the swamps of Delaware take over the sad news, including the loss of little Sarah Foxwell. What are the amongst the most dangerous words said to a young child noawadays by their female caregivers? “Honey, meet my new boyfriend”. Except Dr. Eric Bradley, a Delaware Pediatrician, was introduced to his innocent and helpless patients as the nice doctor who would help make them better. This horrible man did terrible things to these innocents and videotaped it all!
Plus a lawsuit that will enrage you, odd crimes of the week, and, of course, stupid criminals.
All with pics and video you’ll find nowhere else on the Internet.
A Book Review of “The Restless Sleep” by Stacy Horn… "Inside New York City's Cold Case Squad". It takes dedication and concentration to read this intriguing and spell-binding tale of old crimes, the investigations, the victories, the defeats, as well as the politics of a cold case unit that explains so much.

This SHOULD NOT Be A Crime
I usually have a feature on this True Crime Blog, read by two to three people every week, called “IT SHOULD BE A CRIME”.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, however, decided he was going to blow up an airplane, killing everyone on board including his own fine self. He hid the bomb liquid in his underwear. He tried to do the deed but some folk who didn’t want to blow up thwarted the attempt.
This, ladies and gems, should NOT be a crime. This guy is an enemy combatant and he should be in Gitmo meeting a waterboard with his name on it.
From Christmas day until now, the debates raged. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Incompetano, went on TV and into our lying ears told us that “the system worked.”
And as we reeled from this pronouncement, our President was playing golf and too busy to address the nation about his cabinet of nincompoops, including David Axelrod who also, again peeing upon our feet while telling us it’s raining, stated the system worked. Anybody who doesn’t think Obama approved this as a talking point raise your hand. Cause I got a bridge to sell cheap.
Obama changed his tune real quick as the nation stood in shock that anybody would dare try to sell us a bill of goods that would have a fellow whose own father turned him to the American embassy in Nigeria, who got on an airplane by paying cash for a one-way ticket, who cavorted with known terrorists in the fine holiday resort known as Yemen-got onto an airplane with no questions asked…is an example of a system working…well us silly Americans, we just didn’t buy it.
If a baby tumbles out of an open window and lands on a soft awning instead of the busy street 18 stories below, and lives…DOES THIS MEAN THE SYSTEM WORKED?
I’ve listened to the arguments as to why this fellow should be tried in our justice system and some stupid folks who assert that what’s a few American deaths due to terrorism when more people die from peanuts every year.
Also, while the fine underwear bomber didn’t make it on the “no fly” list, we’ve got senior citizens who are on this list and can’t get off. And how about those prisoners who recently escaped from an Illinois federal prison? This is the same state going to keep those Gitmo prisoners under wraps.

Be Prepared to Be Enraged
Lawyers. Gotta love them.
By me they are the force behind trying terrorists in America instead of military tribunals because hey, there’s way more lawyers in this country than there are lawsuits.
They are also responsible for the high cost of health care as lawsuits against medical practitioners and hospitals are all the rage. Like one wag told me at a hospital where I once worked: “They’ll sue you if the baby’s ugly.”
But the lawyer that took on this case shouldn’t be able to sleep at night. For his client helped a multiple murderer try to evade capture and she got hurt in the scuffle. You’re not going to believe this one.

Of all people, a major in the
Salvation Army is shot and killed in front of his children
I did a search on Major Phillip Wise of Arkansas and found lots of information about this wonderful man and his very sad and tragic death at the hand of a couple of thugs. Not to mention the horror of his children who witnessed their father’s death, children probably looking forward to a visit from Santa that very night; children of only 4, 6 and 8 years of age.
There were no hits to stories with any information about the capture of the cretins who kill Major Wise so we put this as a crime investigation in process.

The Restless Sleep-Stacy Horn
"Inside New York City's Cold Case Squad"
Amazon code for this book.
"Right now you have an almost 50% chance of getting with murder in New York; 49.3% of the murders committed in 2003 remain unsolved. That figure of the murders committed in 2003 remain unsolved. That figure will drop in 2004, but not by much. An unsolved murder has up to 5 to 10% chance of being cleared within one year after it goes cold. After two years, that chance decreases to less than 1 percent . If you murdered someone in 2000 and you're not in jail already, you're in the clear. You got away with it. Congratulations.
Let us begin, now with the extraneous out of the way, with one iron clad rule as concerns this book: it is not for the faint of heart.
By that, I mean that the reader should be dedicated to understanding the details, a genuine True Crime afficiando and one who reads to understand the nuances and enjoy a depth of minutiae that would intimidate a more timid reader.
This is, as indicated, a story of a cold case unit. Along with the details, trails, evidence, alibis and other investigative information of the crimes chosen to be illustrative of a cold case in this book, there is also the intriguing political and corporate process involved in setting up, financing, supervising and in general, running a cold case unit.
Fascinating stuff. But again, not for the faint of heart.
To a reader devoted to the convoluted stories of the sad crimes left unpunished and unresolved, this is a compelling read. The author did a fantastic job with the detail, the presentation of the details, and with how the book was written.
The author chose several unsolved crimes that were being investigated by the NY cold case unit. The crimes were varied enough to provide the reader with the many sorts of crimes that are part of the cold case unit and the many difficulties, the heartbreaks, the differences in who was killed, those left behind and, of course, the investigation of them all so many years after the fact. The author tells the story of individual investigations, not all at once, but in “chapters” of the cold case investigation. She’ll give details of the crime, the assignment of the cold case, the background of the investigating detective, the research involved, the search for long forgotten witnesses. Just when a major climax is reached in the investigation, the author moved onto another cold case. After a few more introductions of other cold case investigations, the author returns to the original cold case. And so on like so throughout the book. This method kept this reader spellbound for the entire story.
Linda Leon and Esteban Martinez were drug dealers. They were also parents of three small children. These children were in the home when their parents were so brutally murdered. It’s a compelling story of the investigation, the lies, the travel, the sorry lives of those who committed the crime.
The murderer of Jean Sanseverino had yet to be brought to justice. Someone strangled Sanseverino and defecated all over her dead body. The reader follows the investigation of this case, over twenty years past at the time of the book’s writing. The reader too tries to deduce which of Jean’s many lovers might have been so angry with her to do such an awful thing or wait, could it have been Jean’s estranged husband? There’s hints of another possible perp but for whatever reason, he was never investigated, his alibi never fully verified.
Christine Diefenbach was just 14 years old when she was murdered, so brutally beaten that her ears were torn off. The reader silently roots for the investigating detective to find the monster who took such a young girl’s life. Christine would have been 28 years old when I read this book. She should be married or in love, maybe with children of her own. Yet someone murdered her and no one knows why. Her parents suffer her loss every day of their lives.
It’s these stories and more, mob hits, cruel deaths, that remain unsolved. Cold case units receive more funds today with the advances of DNA evidence. In this book, like the reality of cold case units, some of the cases are solved, some have the perps brought to justice, some remain unsolved. Some times the murderers get caught, many years long after they thought they’d gotten away with it. Often they don’t.
In every case it’s a fascinating story as investigators re-trace history, lost evidence, dead witnesses and find one murderer all warm and happy after leaving the innocents behind that they killed and it’s all worth the effort, time and money.
True Crime afficiandos of the strongest and most devoted will absolutely love this book.
