February 2 2012 - Jeff Buziak leads the 2nd annual Walk for Justice, held to honour his daughter murdered realtor Lindsay Buziak, down Falaise Drive. The four year old murder is still unsolved.
I came across this memorial while driving around the isolated roads of Columbiana County Ohio. After doing a bit of research I came upon the story of Michael Williams, who was found murdered in his car in 2005 in the location where the cross is placed. The murder remains unsolved.
Remember I said there would be a better picture today? I lied.
Yep, it's late and it's been busy, so in the absence of something better here's today's unsolved conundrum.
Can you see the nine letter word?
Massacred for Gold: The Chinese in Hells Canyon
R. Gregory Nokes
Published by OSU Press
"In 1887, more than thirty Chinese gold miners were massacred on the Oregon side of Hells Canyon, the deepest canyon in North America. Massacred for Gold, the first authoritative account of the unsolved crime—one of the worst of the many crimes committed by whites against Chinese laborers in the American West—unearths the evidence that points to an improbable gang of rustlers and schoolboys, one only fifteen, as the killers.
The crime was discovered weeks after it happened, but no charges were brought for nearly a year, when gang member Frank Vaughan, son of a well-known settler family, confessed and turned state’s evidence. Six men and boys, all from northeastern Oregon’s remote Wallowa country, were charged—but three fled, and the others were found innocent by a jury that a witness admitted had little interest in convicting anyone. A cover-up followed, and the crime was all but forgotten for the next one hundred years, until a county clerk found hidden records in an unused safe.
In bringing this story out of the shadows, Nokes examines the once-substantial presence of Chinese laborers in the interior Pacific Northwest, describing why they came, how their efforts contributed to the region’s development, and how too often mistreatment and abuse were their only reward."

February 2 2012 - Jeff Buziak talks with members of the local media before the 2nd annual Walk for Justice, held to honour his daughter murdered realtor Lindsay Buziak. The four year old murder is still unsolved.
Larry the Squirrel went missing yesterday, according to authorities. He was last seen in the vicinity of the bird feeder. No predator tracks were noted at the scene.
Larry's wife, Charlotte Squirrel said, "Larry just went down to the freezer yesterday afternoon, to have a bedtime snack, and he never came back." A large pool of blood with fur inclusions were found some centimeters away, but no body has been recovered at this time.
Frank "Coop" Coopers Hawk is wanted for questioning in the disappearance. He had been seen loitering in the area the past couple of days, according to Sgt. Charles Chickadee, of the Backyard Natural Police. "This is an open, unsolved case. We know Larry didn't just spontaneously combust into thin air," said Sgt. Chickadee.
If you have information on the incident, contact Captain Duane Cardinal, Unsolved Crime Unit.

FOX25 now sponsors the Sand Castles???? and there was the Lottery Ticket there, woman from Saugus, next town over, and Home Depot. So very odd that Fox would sponsor that right after Katherine told me she hated me more than anything....after I figured out she stole everything for over twelve years. I work every night, and hundreds of emails just about the sand castles.
AND staff had NEW shirts, exactly like the STAFF at Boston Winter, that's so strange....and the ads on that radio station too. They do the Museum of Science

Strange in that these blooms are appearing in places where I did not plant them. An unsolved mystery :-)

The Postcard
A Tuck's Oilette postcard which was posted in Blackpool on Monday the 5th. August 1918 to:
Miss E. Hallam,
43, Oakfield Street,
Altrincham,
Nr. Manchester
The message on the back was as follows:
"Dear Elsie,
I am having a good time.
The weather is splendid.
I hope you are quite well.
Kind Regards,
Jack".
The Axeman of New Orleans
So what else happened on the day that Jack posted the card to Elsie?
Well, on the 5th. August 1918, New Orleans resident Ed Schneider returned home late from work to find his pregnant wife had been attacked and bludgeoned. Remarkably, she survived the attack and gave birth two days later.
The Axeman of New Orleans was an American serial killer who was active in New Orleans, Louisiana, and surrounding communities, from May 1918 to October 1919.
Press reports during the height of public panic about the killings mentioned similar murders as early as 1911, but recent researchers have called these reports into question. The Axeman was never identified, and the murders remain unsolved.
The Serial Killings
As the killer's epithet implies, the victims usually were attacked with an axe, which often belonged to the victims themselves. In most cases, a panel on a back door of a home was removed by a chisel, which along with the panel was left on the floor near the door.
The intruder then attacked one or more of the residents with either an axe or straight razor. The crimes were not motivated by robbery, and the perpetrator never removed items from his victims' homes.
The majority of the Axeman's victims were Italian immigrants or Italian-Americans, leading many to believe that the crimes were ethnically motivated. Many media outlets sensationalized this aspect of the crimes, even suggesting Mafia involvement despite lack of evidence.
Some crime analysts have suggested that the killings were related to sex, and that the murderer was perhaps a sadist specifically seeking female victims. Criminologists Colin and Damon Wilson hypothesise that the Axeman killed male victims only when they obstructed his attempts to murder women, supported by cases in which the woman of the household was murdered but not the man.
A less plausible theory is that the killer committed the murders in an attempt to promote jazz music, suggested by a letter attributed to the killer in which he stated that he would spare the lives of those who played jazz in their homes.
The Axeman was not caught or identified, and his crime spree stopped as mysteriously as it had started. The murderer's identity remains unknown to this day, although various possible identifications of varying plausibility have been proposed.
On the 13th. March 1919, a letter purporting to be from the Axeman was published in newspapers, saying that he would kill again at 15 minutes past midnight on the night of the 19th. March, but would spare the occupants of any place where a jazz band was playing.
That night all of New Orleans' dance halls were filled to capacity, and professional and amateur bands played jazz at parties at hundreds of houses around town. There were no murders that night.
The Axeman's Letter
"Hottest Hell, March 13, 1919.
They have never caught me and they never will.
They have never seen me, for I am invisible,
even as the ether that surrounds your earth.
I am not a human being, but a spirit and a demon
from the hottest hell.
I am what you Orleanians and your foolish police
call the Axeman.
When I see fit, I shall come and claim other victims.
I alone know whom they shall be. I shall leave no
clue except my bloody axe, besmeared with blood
and brains of he whom I have sent below to keep
me company.
If you wish you may tell the police to be careful not
to rile me. Of course, I am a reasonable spirit. I take
no offense at the way they have conducted their
investigations in the past.
In fact, they have been so utterly stupid as to not only
amuse me, but His Satanic Majesty, Francis Josef, etc.
But tell them to beware. Let them not try to discover
what I am, for it were better that they were never born
than to incur the wrath of the Axeman.
I don't think there is any need of such a warning, for I
feel sure the police will always dodge me, as they have
in the past. They are wise and know how to keep away
from all harm.
Undoubtedly, you Orleanians think of me as a most
horrible murderer, which I am, but I could be much worse
if I wanted to. If I wished, I could pay a visit to your city
every night. At will I could slay thousands of your best
citizens (and the worst), for I am in close relationship with
the Angel of Death.
Now, to be exact, at 12:15 (earthly time) on next Tuesday
night, I am going to pass over New Orleans. In my infinite
mercy, I am going to make a little proposition to you people.
Here it is: I am very fond of jazz music, and I swear by all
the devils in the nether regions that every person shall
be spared in whose home a jazz band is in full swing at the
time I have just mentioned.
If everyone has a jazz band going, well, then, so much
the better for you people. One thing is certain, and that
is that some of your people who do not jazz it out on that
specific Tuesday night (if there be any) will get the axe.
Well, as I am cold and crave the warmth of my native
Tartarus, and it is about time I leave your earthly home,
I will cease my discourse. Hoping that thou wilt publish
this, that it may go well with thee, I have been, am and
will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact
or realm of fancy.
--The Axeman".
Identity of the Axeman
Crime writer Colin Wilson speculates the Axeman could have been Leone Manfre, a man shot to death in Los Angeles in December 1920 by the widow of Mike Pepitone, the Axeman's last known victim.
According to Richard Warner, the chief suspect in the crimes was Frank "Doc" Mumphrey (1875–1921), who used the alias Leon Joseph Monfre/Manfre.
Victims of the Axeman
Joseph and Catherine Maggio
Joseph Maggio, an Italian grocer, and his wife Catherine Maggio were attacked on the 23rd. May 1918, while sleeping alongside each other, at their home on the corner of Upperline and Magnolia Streets where they conducted a barroom and grocery.
The killer broke into the home, and then proceeded to cut the couple's throats with a straight razor. Catherine's throat was cut so deeply that her head was nearly severed from her shoulders.
Upon leaving the murderer bashed their heads with an axe, perhaps in order to conceal the real cause of death. Joseph survived the attack, but died minutes after being discovered by his brothers Jake and Andrew Maggio.
Catherine died prior to the brothers' arrival. In the apartment, law enforcement agents found the bloody clothes of the murderer, as he had obviously changed into a clean set of clothes before fleeing the scene. A complete search of the premises was not completed by police after the bodies were removed, yet later the bloody razor was found on the lawn of a neighboring property.
Police ruled out robbery as motivation for the attacks, as money and valuables left in plain sight were not stolen by the intruder.
The razor used to kill the couple was found to belong to Andrew Maggio, the brother of the deceased who ran a barber shop on Camp Street. His employee, Esteban Torres, told police that Maggio had removed the razor from his shop two days prior to the murder, explaining that he had wanted to have a nick honed from the blade.
Maggio, who lived in the adjoining apartment to his brother's residence, discovered his slain brother and sister-in-law roughly two hours after the gruesome attacks had occurred, upon hearing strange groaning noises through the wall.
Maggio blamed his failure to hear any noise related to the attacks on his intoxicated state, as he had returned home after a night of celebration prior to his departure to join the navy; police, however, were nonetheless surprised that he failed to hear the intruder, as he made a forced entry into the home.
Andrew Maggio became the prime suspect in the crime, yet was released after investigators were unable to break down his statement, as well as his account of an unknown man who was supposedly seen lurking near the residence prior to the murders.
Louis Besumer and Harriet Lowe
Louis Besumer and his mistress Harriet Lowe were attacked in the early morning hours of the 27th. June 1918, at the back of his grocery which was located at the corner of Dorgenois and Laharpe Streets. Besumer was struck with a hatchet above his right temple, which resulted in a skull fracture. Lowe was hacked over the left ear, and found unconscious when police arrived at the scene.
The couple were discovered shortly after 7am on the morning of the attack by John Zanca, a driver of a bakery wagon who had come to the grocery in order to make a routine delivery. Zanca found both Besumer and Lowe in a puddle of their own blood, both bleeding from their heads.
The axe, which had belonged to Besumer himself, was found in the bathroom of the apartment. Besumer later stated to police that he had been sleeping when he was bashed with the hatchet.
Police arrested potential suspect Lewis Oubicon, a 41-year-old African-American man who had been employed in Besumer's store just a week before the attacks. No evidence existed to prove the man guilty, yet police arrested him nonetheless, stating that Oubicon had offered conflicting accounts of his whereabouts on the morning of the attack.
Shortly after the attempted murder Lowe stated that she remembered having been attacked by a mulatto man, yet her statement was discounted by police due to her disillusioned state. Robbery was said to be the only possible explanation for the attacks, yet no money or valuables were removed from the couple's home.
Oubicon was later released as police were unable to gather sufficient evidence to hold him accountable for the crimes. Media attention soon turned to Besumer himself, as a series of letters written in German, Russian, and Yiddish were discovered in a trunk at the man's home. Police suspected that Besumer was a German spy, and government officials began a full investigation of his potential espionage.
Weeks later, after going in and out of consciousness, Harriet Lowe told police that she thought Besumer was in fact a German spy, which led to his immediate arrest. Two days later Besumer was released, and two lead investigators of the case were demoted due to unacceptable police work.
Besumer was once again arrested in August 1918, after Harriet Lowe, who lay dying in Charity Hospital after a failed surgery, stated that it was he who had attacked her more than a month previously with his hatchet. He was charged with murder, and served nine months in prison before being acquitted on the 1st. May 1919, after a ten-minute jury deliberation.
Lowe became the center of a media circus, as she continually made scandalous and often false statements relating to both the attacks and the character of Louis Besumer. The Times-Picayune sensationalized Lowe and her outspoken nature upon discovering that she was not the wife of Besumer, but his mistress.
A Charity Hospital source discovered the scandal, when Besumer asked to be directed to the room of "Mrs. Harriet Lowe," and was denied access as no woman by that name was a patient. Besumer's legal wife arrived from Cincinnati in the days immediately following the discovery, which further inflamed the ongoing drama.
Lowe further gained media attention as she repeatedly made statements which voiced her dislike of the New Orleans chief of police, as well as her reluctance to comply with police questioning. After the truth of her marital status was revealed publicly, Lowe told reporters from the Times-Picayune that she would no longer aid the police in their investigation, as she suspected that it had been Chief Mooney who first informed the press of the scandal.
Despite the scandal, and her delirious statements which suggested that Besumer was a German spy, Lowe returned to the home she shared with Besumer weeks after the attack. One side of her face was partially paralyzed due to the severity of the attack. Lowe died on the 5th. August 1918, just two days after doctors performed surgery in an effort to repair her partially paralyzed face. Just prior to her death, Lowe told authorities that she suspected it was Louis Besumer who had attacked her.
Anna Schneider
Anna Schneider was attacked in the early evening hours of the 5th. August 1918. The 8 months-pregnant, 28-year-old of Elmira Street awoke to find a dark figure standing over her and was bashed in the face repeatedly. Her scalp had been cut open, and her face was completely covered in blood.
Mrs. Schneider was discovered after midnight by her husband, Ed Schneider, who was returning late from work. Schneider claimed that she remembered nothing of the attack, and gave birth to a healthy baby girl two days after the incident.
Her husband told police that nothing had been stolen from the home, besides six or seven dollars that had been in his wallet. The windows and doors of the apartment appeared not to have been forced open, and authorities came to the conclusion that the woman was most likely attacked with a lamp that had been on a nearby table.
James Gleason, whom police said was an ex-convict, was arrested shortly after Schneider was found. Gleason was later released due to a complete lack of evidence, and stated that he originally ran from authorities because he had so often been arrested.
Lead investigators began to publicly speculate that the attack was related to the previous incidents involving Besumer and Maggio.
Joseph Romano and The Bruno Sisters
Joseph Romano was an elderly man living with his two nieces, Pauline and Mary Bruno. On the 10th. August 1918, Pauline and Mary awoke to the sound of a commotion in the adjoining room where their uncle resided. Upon entering the room, the sisters discovered that their uncle had taken a serious blow to his head, which resulted in two open cuts.
The assailant was fleeing the scene as they arrived, yet the girls were able to distinguish that he was a dark-skinned, heavy-set man, who wore a dark suit and slouched hat. Romano, although seriously injured, was able to walk to the ambulance once it arrived, yet died two days later due to severe head trauma.
The home had been ransacked, yet no items were stolen from Romano. Authorities found a bloody axe in the back yard, and discovered that a panel on the back door had been chiseled away.
The Romano murder created a state of extreme chaos in the city, with residents living in constant fear of an axeman attack. Police received a slew of reports, in which citizens claimed to have seen an axeman lurking in New Orleans neighborhoods. A few men even called to report that they had found axes in their back yards.
John Dantonio, a then-retired Italian detective, made public statements in which he hypothesized that the man who had committed the axeman murders was the same who had killed several individuals in 1911. The retired detective cited similarities in the manner by which the two sets of homicides had been committed, as reason to assume that they had been conducted by the same individual.
Dantonio described the potential killer as an individual of dual personalities, who killed without motive. This type of individual, Dantonio stated, could very likely have been a normal, law-abiding citizen, who was often overcome by an overwhelming desire to kill. He later went on to describe the killer as "A real-life Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".
Charles, Rosie and Mary Cortimiglia
Charles Cortimiglia was an Italian immigrant who lived with his wife, Rosie, and infant daughter, Mary, on the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Second Street in Gretna, Louisiana, a New Orleans suburb across the Mississippi River.
On the night of the 10th. March 1919, screams were heard coming from the Cortimiglia residence. Grocer Iorlando Jordano rushed across the street to investigate. Upon his arrival, Jordano found that Charles Cortimiglia, his wife, and their daughter had all been attacked by the unknown intruder.
Rosie stood in the doorway with a serious head wound, clutching her deceased daughter. Charles lay on the floor, bleeding profusely. The couple was rushed to Charity Hospital, where it was discovered that both had suffered skull fractures.
Nothing was stolen from the house, but a panel on the back door had been chiseled away, and a bloody axe was found on the back porch of the home. Charles was released two days later, while his wife remained in the care of doctors.
Upon gaining full consciousness, Rosie made claims that Iorlando Jordano and his 18-year-old son, Frank, were responsible for the attacks. Iorlando, a 69-year-old man, was too ill to have committed the crimes. Frank Jordano, more than six feet tall and weighing over 200 pounds, would have been too large to have fit through the panel on the back door.
Charles Cortimiglia vehemently denied his wife's claims, yet police nonetheless arrested the two and charged them with the murder. The men would later be found guilty. Frank was sentenced to hang, and his father to life in prison.
Charles Cortimiglia divorced his wife after the trial. Almost a year later, Rosie announced that she had falsely accused the two out of jealousy and spite. Her statement was the only evidence against the Jordanos, and they were released from jail shortly thereafter.
Steve Boca
Steve Boca, a grocer, was attacked in his bedroom as he slept by an axe-wielding intruder on the 10th. August 1919. Boca awoke during the night to find a dark figure looming over his bed. Upon regaining consciousness, Boca ran into the street, and found that his head had been cracked open.
The grocer then ran to the home of his neighbor, Frank Genusa, where he lost consciousness and collapsed. Nothing had been taken from the home, yet, once again, a panel on the back door of the home had been chiseled away. Boca recovered from his injuries, but could not remember any details of the trauma. This attack took place after the emergence of the infamous axeman letter.
Sarah Laumann
Sarah Laumann was attacked on the night of the 3rd. September 1919. Neighbors came to check on the young woman, who had lived alone, and broke into the home when Laumann did not answer. They discovered the 19-year-old lying unconscious on her bed, suffering from a severe head injury and missing several teeth.
The intruder had entered the apartment through an open window, and attacked the woman with a blunt object. A bloody axe was discovered on the front lawn of the building. Laumann recovered from her injuries, yet couldn't recall any details from the attack.
Mike Pepitone
Mike Pepitone was attacked on the night of the 27th. October 1919. His wife was awakened by a noise and arrived at the door of his bedroom just as a large, axe-wielding man was fleeing the scene. Mike Pepitone had been struck in the head, and was covered in his own blood.
Blood splatter covered the majority of the room, including a painting of the Virgin Mary. Mrs. Pepitone, the mother of six children, was unable to describe any characteristics of the killer. The Pepitone murder was the last of the alleged axeman attacks.

The top eagle in the original is black, the bottom white, the right one green, the left red. There was a riddle beneath it. It is unsolved, so far.
Karl Knobling holds an old photograph of his son, David, during an interview in Newport News on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Knobling was relentless in the search of his missing son and was present when the bodies of David Knobling and Robin Edwards were discovered on Ragged Island in September 1987. The murder victims are suspected to be in connection with the three other unsolved Colonial Parkway murder cases.
A sub-genre of the Pam Green look was the curvy corpse.
This was ubiquitous in the fifties, plastered over cheesecake and men's mags, movie posters, pulp fiction covers, even science fiction.
Women spread-eagled and splattered, with dead eyes and scarlet lips, often in lingerie – details of cleavage, garter and thigh lovingly picked out.
From left. Detective Tales, 1948. Undated, c.1951. Mystery Magazine, 1954. The real thing: Betty James, murdered by Raymond Barker in 1953.
Pam Green was a dead ringer for a curvy corpse. The film director Michael Powell thought so. He cast Pam in his classic of murderous voyeurism, Peeping Tom, 1960. [Her only appearance in a mainstream movie]
Green plays a busty beauty being photographed in a soft porn photo session - wearing lingerie carefully selected by Powell from Green’s exotic wardrobe.
Then her character is murdered by the deranged serial killer.
Pam Green:
"Having seen all the Hammer Horrors, where there was Eastman Blood all over the shop; this story was different. I had been secretly hoping that my end would be bloody, but I was told that after my last line, the camera would cut away to a shot of a policeman looking down at me with the brilliant dialogue, ‘She's dead’…
"Not even one drop of blood would come my way."
In the movie, Pam’s last words to the killer as she sinks onto a bed in a "revealing" shortie negligee are:
"Are you safe to be alone with?"
A long pause as she lies against the pillows.
"It might be more fun if you weren’t".
We don't see Pam's corpse. But we are meant to deduce it as an afterglow of her previous sensuality.

During the Second World War, there was a plane crash near southwest Victoria that was never solved. In fact, it was never even reported. There was a strict protocol of censorship in place at the time that prohibited anyone from reporting on the wreck, but there was at least some investigation by the authorities. A cause was never determined. Recently, however, new theories regarding the cause of the plane crash have begun to formulate.
Near southwest Victoria, Australia, off Lady Julia Percy Island, Avro Anson AW-878 met its end. Scraps of the aircraft were found near Yambuk, but no survivors were found in the area. It is known that there were two pilots as well as two other crew members aboard, all of whom were presumed dead. The plane crash was bad enough that the aircraft was deemed to be beyond repair. With the exception of a wing discovered on the island, the majority of the aircraft wound up at the bottom of the sea. Some of the newer postulations regarding how the wreck occurred are largely centered on the potential presence of submarines near Yambuk at the time.
Back when the wreck first occurred, there were rumors that a young girl had seen an enemy submarine around the location of the wreckage. This rumor could never be confirmed, as there were also rumors that she was told to keep her information on the plane crash to herself. Recently, interviews with Yambuk residents have uncovered rumors that there was a volunteer defense corps on the shore carrying rifles. Other theories are simpler, such as the theory that the aircraft had simply run out of fuel and the pilots had attempted to land on the island, or a theory that they crashed due to low visibility, The Standard reports.
Prior to the wreck, the aircraft had departed from Mount Gambier. Air intelligence had relayed reports of submarine sightings, but seven aircraft that departed prior to the Avro Anson were unable to corroborate these reports. This does not mean, however, that the plane crash was not caused by enemy fire. There were German reconnaissance subs assigned to Australia at the time, and it is possible that one of them may have managed to disable the plane without being spotted.
The mystery of the plane crash may never be solved, but some people are still dedicated to its memory. The Rotary Club of Warrnambool East has commissioned a brass plaque to act as a memorial to the wreck and its victims. There is to be a ceremony honoring the victims, held at a spot which overlooks the site of the plane crash. Surviving families members are being contacted should they wish to attend.
Quinton has grown considerably in recent years, but Lower Quinton still retains a palpable atmosphere of the past. Friday Street is lined with lined with half-timbered and Georgian houses and the church of St Swithin is one of the most interesting in the area, with the brooding mass of Meon hill beyond, infamous for the unsolved murder of Charles Walton in 1945 with its rumours of witchcraft. An elegant church with north and south aisles and west tower with a tall C15 spire visible for miles around. The south aisle is c 1100 and is thought to have been cut through the Saxon wall of an earlier church, while the north aisle shows the transition from round to pointed arches and is c 1170. The chancel is Early English and above the chancel arch the arms of Elizabeth I are still visible. A clerestory was added in the C15 and the nave has a late C16 oak roof. The aisles end in chapels to Our Lady and St Anne built in the C13 and C14. A Norman font stands by the north door. There are five Armorial windows designed by Geoffrey Webb between 1929-32. Webb asked local school children to suggest subjects to decorate the blank panes. At the end of the Transitional north aisle the Lady Chapel has an east window which incorporates a C14 niche which houses a modern Virgin and Child. Fragments of the original glass fill the tracery and Webb has designed panels depicting the Virgin's Life. The Chancel c 1255, was restored in 1862, when a large window by F. Preedy was inserted in the blank east wall. The south aisle has a chapel dedicated to St Anne which has a double piscina and a triple sedilla, 1340. The jewel of this chapel is an Altar tomb to Joanna, Lady Clopton c 1430 who entered a religious order after the death of her husband. The brass shows her wearing a wimple and a widows barbe. She originally lay next to her husband Sir William, but they were separated in 1749 and his effigy is now lies between the south aisle and the nave. Sir William is depicted in full armour, though he is thought to have been the victim of Parliamentary troops, who damaged the sculpture.
Jaime Hernando Garzón Forero (October 24, 1960 – August 13, 1999 in Bogotá) was a Colombian journalist, a comedian, lawyer, peace activist and political satirist. He was very popular on Colombian television during the 1990s, especially for his political satire. In addition to his work on television, he also had roles as a peace negotiator in the release of FARC guerrillas' hostages. He was murdered by suspected right-wing paramilitary forces in 1999, although the case remains opened and unsolved. Source: Wikipedia

This is a walk made in the autumn of 2018, 32 years AFTER the murder of prime minister Olof Palme of Sweden. It follows his path that fatal evening. People in the streets have, of course, nothing to do with the case. The murder remains unsolved and has given rise to conspiracy theories.
Stockholm[a] is the capital of Sweden and the most populous city in the Nordic countries;[9][b] 952,058 people live in the municipality,[10] approximately 1.5 million in the urban area,[5] and 2.3 million in the metropolitan area.[11] The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. Just outside the city and along the coast is the island chain of the Stockholm archipelago. The area has been settled since the Stone Age, in the 6th millennium BC, and was founded as a city in 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl. It is also the capital of Stockholm County. Stockholm is the only capital in the world with a national urban park.[12]
Stockholm is the cultural, media, political, and economic centre of Sweden. The Stockholm region alone accounts for over a third of the country's GDP,[13] and is among the top 10 regions in Europe by GDP per capita.[14] It is an important global city,[15][16] and the main centre for corporate headquarters in the Nordic region.[17] The city is home to some of Europe's top ranking universities, such as the Stockholm School of Economics, Karolinska Institute and Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).[18][19] It hosts the annual Nobel Prize ceremonies and banquet at the Stockholm Concert Hall and Stockholm City Hall. One of the city's most prized museums, the Vasa Museum, is the most visited non-art museum in Scandinavia.[20][21] The Stockholm metro, opened in 1950, is well known for the decor of its stations; it has been called the longest art gallery in the world.[22][23][24] Sweden's national football arena is located north of the city centre, in Solna. Ericsson Globe, the national indoor arena, is in the southern part of the city. The city was the host of the 1912 Summer Olympics, and hosted the equestrian portion of the 1956 Summer Olympics otherwise held in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Stockholm is the seat of the Swedish government and most of its agencies,[25] including the highest courts in the judiciary,[26][27] and the official residencies of the Swedish monarch and the Prime Minister. The government has its seat in the Rosenbad building, the Riksdag (Swedish parliament) is seated in the Parliament House, and the Prime Minister's residence is adjacent at the Sager House.[28][29][30] The Stockholm Palace is the official residence and principal workplace of the Swedish monarch, while the Drottningholm Palace, a World Heritage Site on the outskirts of Stockholm, serves as the Royal Family's private residence

Sandra Galas, 27, born in Japan, raised on Kauai, died amidst many unlived dreams and hopes for an exciting future.
This stunning, vibrant, young mother of two died before her time. Her murder remains unsolved, leaving family and friends wondering how and why this could have happened to someone so beautiful and promising.
Galas who was found murdered in her car, in her garage on Jan. 25, 2006 at 549 Lei Papa Place, Eleele Nani, died of strangulation with a cordlike object and blunt-force to her head, according to her death certificate.
At the time of her death, she was going through a bitter custody battle and divorce.
Sandra's ex-husband, Darren Galas, was arrested and held for 48 hours following her murder. He was released pending charges.
Police are still hoping anyone with information on her killer will come forward, either anonymously or otherwise.
Sandra's parents are offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who has information leading to an arrest and conviction.
Putting an end to violence against women might seem like a large goal, but it's something the family is hoping will be addressed, one family at a time.

Scene of the infamous unsolved murders of William Bradbury and his on Thomas. Both men were savagely attacked on the night of Monday 2 April 1832.
wessyman137.wordpress.com/2014/07/20/bills-o-jacks/
Their tombstone reportedly reads:
Here lie the dreadfully bruised and lacerated bodies of William Bradbury and Thomas, his son, both of Greenfield, who were together savagely murdered in an unusually horrid manner, on Monday night, April 2nd, 1832, William being 84 and Thomas 46 years old.
Throughout the land wherever news is read.
Intelligence of their sad end has spread.
Those now who talk of far-famed Greenfield hills.
Will think of Bill o' Jack's and Tom o' Bill's.
Such interest did their tragic end excite.
That, ere they were removed from human sight.
Thousands on thousands came to see.
The bloody scene of the catastrophe.
One house, one business, and one bed.
And one most shocking death they had.
One funeral came, one inquest past.
And now one grave they have at last.

The Loch Ness Monster, Nessie in Scotland
The Loch Ness Monster is a creature that lives in Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Popular interest and belief in the animal was brought to the world's attention in 1933. The most common speculation among believers is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving 'lizard' plesiosaurs.The scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-day myth, and explains sightings as a mix of hoaxes and wishful thinking.Despite this, it remains one of the most famous examples of cryptozoology. The legendary monster has been affectionately referred to by the nickname Nessie since the 1950s.
On October 22nd 2012 Theresa Irene Wolowski, and Ryan Janek Wolowski, took a boat ride through Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands looking for Nessie, who's presence was felt.

The Monarch is probably the most well-known and beloved of North American butterflies. Its wings when open feature an easily recognizable orange and black pattern, with a wingspan of 3.3 - 4.9 inches (8.5 - 12.5 cm) . The females have darker and thicker veins on their wings while the males have a spot in the center of each hindwing from which pheromones are released, and which also helps to easily distinguish them from a females.
In North America, the Monarch ranges from southern Canada to northern South America. It rarely strays to western Europe (sometimes as far as Greece) from being transported by U. S. ships or by flying there if weather and wind conditions are right. It has also been found in Bermuda, Hawaii, the Solomons, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea, Ceylon, India, the Azores, and the Canary Islands.
Monarchs are especially noted for their lengthy annual migration. In North America they make massive southward migrations starting in August until the first frost. A northward migration takes place in the spring. The Monarch is the only butterfly that migrates BOTH north and south as birds do on a regular basis. But no single individual makes the entire round trip. Female monarchs deposit eggs for the next generation to complete the journey during these migrations. How the offspring know where to go remains one of nature's unsolved mysteries.
In eastern North American the Monarch population begins the southward migration late summer - early autumn and can cover thousands of mile from the United States and southern Canada to Mexico. The western North American population, west of the Rocky Mountains, most often migrates to sites in California, but have been found overwintering in Mexico.
Besides Mexico and California, overwintering populations of Monarchs are also found along the Gulf Coast, year-round in Florida, and in Arizona where the habitat provides the specific conditions necessary for their survival. The overwintering habitat typically provides access to streams, plenty of sunlight (for body temperatures that allows flight), appropriate vegetation on which to roost, and is relatively free of predators. Overwintering, roosting butterflies have been seen on sumacs, locusts, basswood elm, oak, osage orange, mulberry, pecan, willow, cottonwood, and mesquite.
