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.

This is a series of photos taken July 19, 2010 of a still unsolved pollution spill in the Huron River, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Photos are taken from 7:31 pm to 9:12pm on July 19th. First video taken at 6:49pm, last video taken at 9:01pm. No rain, so event was not caused by rain. Photos taken near pedestrian bridge, located near Nichols Arboretum and Mitchell Field. This case is still unsolved.
NOTE: This spill was not caused by a rain event. It rained that night, but the initial flushing/dumping was NOT caused by a rain event. Booms were in the water before the river rose.
For documents relating to this case, look here:
and here
The AAFD photos and my photos are the only known photos of this event. I tried giving these photos to University of Michigan Police (who investigated the spill that ran through University of Michigan grounds), but they weren't interested in entering them as evidence. So you won't find these photos in the official police record of the spill. But, I saw it and you can see it here.

Two lawyers teamed up in 2004 to ask the New Brunswick government to call a public inquiry into the shooting of a New Brunswick town police officer. The province said no and with time both lawyers became politicians. One became the Minister of Health in the province of New Brunswick and the other became the Minister of Justice for the province of Newfoundland.

I can't think of a single reason why we would have blank VHS tapes in our house, and even if I could, why is someone throwing them away in the bathroom?
Once owned by powerful Frankopan family it looks like a castle from some fairy tale.
Unsolved propriarty problems, and continuous devastating left terrible marks on this magnificant castle.
Now it is returned to propriarty of district Bosiljevo, and they are seeking for serious investor to restore castle to previous state. Though this is tough task, since all valuables from the caslte, furniture, art, books from library etc were stolen. Even rocks and stone balustrade were taken away and used for decorations of gardens.
I got this idea from one of my Month of Sunday shots in which a few worked on completing the puzzle. Here is a full shot of an unsolved puzzle. Have fun
Model-turned-actress Nargis Fakhri’s romance seems an unsolved mystery of B-town. Starting from Ranbir Kapoor to Varun Dhawan, the leggy lass has been more in the headings for her supposed affairs than work.
Nargis has been connected with Uday Chopra because the day she tweeted,...

The Last Voyage of the Valentina by Santa Montefiore
The war is over but its shadow still lingers. And deep in the lush countryside an eccentric aristocrat is savagely murdered in his beautiful palazzo.
London, 1971. Years later, this unsolved crime touches the life of Alba, a hedonistic girl who lives on a houseboat in swinging Chelsea.
Between these two distinctive times runs a thread of love, decadence and betrayal that takes Alba to the olive groves of the Amalfi Coast, rich with the scent of figs, the drama of wartime and the lingering decay of tragedy.
The past unfolds revealing a secret web of partisans and Nazis, peasants and counts and in the centre of it all, an alluring woman of mystery: her mother…
Taylor was walking home from school when a girl took a knife & stabbed it in her back.
No police's know what happend.Its all a mystery.

Sergeant Detective Billy Doogan of the Boston Police Homicide Unit's Cold Case Squad prepares to speak with a documentary film crew about the 1992 murder of Lena Bruce, who was sexually assaulted and strangled to death in her South End home. The case was long unsolved until 2015, when a Boston man was ordered to provide a DNA sample on a felony conviction -- matching the crime scene evidence and giving investigators their firs solid lead in more than 20 years.

Do you remember the song for that show, Unsolved mysteries? It was like da-nananananana da-nanananani and it freaked me out when I was little.
Anyways, I'm not sure what this is but it's definitely not full grown (stubby wings) and it's probably a true bug (straw for a mouth). I'm going to guess assassin bug nymph. If anybody knows, please chime in.
It looks nicer large, because flickr resizing messes up the eyes.

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.
now unsolved for over 10 years.. a memorial along with questions are still maintained in the Sandia Mountains

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions” ~Rainer Maria Rilke~
With some issues I have no patience...like with my ex and this whole ordeal that I am going through with him. I keep looking for answers...and want things solved right now. I don't want to wait and that gets me all frustrated. I have been fed up with it all and find myself being very bitter...that is not good. The whole answer to this situation is "not now". Don't worry about it right now. Just continue being the type of person you are, taking care of your responsibilities as you always have... so patience and faith. The answers will come in due time.
Investigators took the police jacket and hat out of the police cruiser and laid it on a rock so the media could have a picture for their story. It was not sent to a crime lab.

Just down from Crampton Tower a rather explosive, unsolved murder happened...
Richard Richards was a ‘property owner and man of means’ who lived with his family in Broadstairs. In 1893 he was having a coffee house built near to the railway station and would often pop up to chat with the builder to see how work was progressing.
Richard had a brother, William, who lived in Somerset, but also resided on occasions in London. The two brothers had a fiery relationship and every so often they’d fall out over something, make up for a bit and then fall out again. Their relationship with each other disintegrated into acrimony in 1893, when William sued Richard over a property deal that had gone sour. William won the case and was awarded the princely sum of £1,200 (around £127,000 in today’s money). Richard then sued William in a counter claim and was also proposing to sue him for libel. William was not happy about this and wrote several angry letters to Richard telling him that he’d have him found guilty of fraud and get him sent to a penal colony for seven years. Not having Richard’s address in Broadstairs, he sent his letters to Richard’s solicitor in London, so they could be forwarded on. They were, and Richard complained bitterly to his wife about them and about his brother.
Sometime in July 1893, Richard was up in London when he bumped into the clerk from his solicitor’s office, Frederick Colverd. Frederick told him that a parcel had arrived that morning addressed to him and asked if he wanted to attend at the office to collect it. Richard told him that he wouldn’t have time and asked him just to forward it on to his home in Broadstairs. Frederick agreed to this and duly posted the parcel on, however not before noting that ‘it was addressed in a shaky hand, apparently the writing of a female…’ and that ‘the writing seemed to be disguised.’
On the morning of 22nd July 1893, Richard Richards was having breakfast with his wife Katherine, when the postman delivered the parcel forwarded on from London. Katherine immediately stated to Richard that she didn’t like the look of it and thought he should not open it. Richard, on examining it, stated that he thought the writing looked like that of his brother William. Not quite sure what to do with the parcel, Richard decided to seek out a second opinion, so off he marched, accompanied by Katherine and their children, to the property he was having built. There he called on the builder, Charles Martin and handed him the parcel joking that it was a present for him. Charles laughed at this, but then agreed with Katherine that it looked quite suspicious. But what to do about it? Both Richard and Charles then stood examining the parcel and chatting about it. After a while they agreed that the only thing to do was to open it and see just what it was. Katherine begged Richard not to open it, but he shooed her away and cut the string around it with his penknife. Charles moved closer to see what the parcel contained just as Richard pulled the string away. BOOM! There was a huge explosion that knocked Katherine and the children to the ground and blew both Richard and Charles across the road. Katherine rose to her feet screaming – ‘My God! It’s an infernal machine.’ Distraught, she and her children were led away as passersby ran to help her husband and Charles. Charles who was bleeding heavily from lacerations to his face and shaking with shock, was helped back to his home. However, Richard was in a terrible state. Half his face and his left hand had been blown away and his chest was torn open. He was quickly taken to the Seamen’s Infirmary at Ramsgate, where it was realised there was little they could do for him. There he made a deposition to a local magistrate telling him about the suspicious package and that he suspected that his brother William had sent it. He then lapsed into unconsciousness and died the next day.
A few weeks after Richard’s death an inquest was held. During this, both Katherine and Richard’s solicitor gave evidence about the ill will between the brothers. Katherine stated that the writing on the parcel looked like William’s and that her husband had no other enemies in life other than his brother. Richard’s solicitor told of receiving the parcel for Richard and noting the postmark on it. When asked about the letters William had sent to his brother, the solicitor acknowledged that they bore the postmark of the district next to the one that the parcel had been posted from. An explosives expert then gave evidence that on examining the remains of the device it appeared to have been gunpowder that had been used. He commented that it was a simple device and would be easy to construct. William, Richard’s brother was then called to give evidence. He was cautioned by the coroner and asked if he had been responsible for sending the parcel to his brother. To this he replied – ‘I have never made an infernal machine, or employed anyone to do so.’ He then went on to state that he would have gained no benefit if his brother was to die, as the judgement against his brother for the £1,200 had been made void by his death.
At the end of the inquest the coroner summed up the evidence and stated that though there had been much ill will between the brothers there was not enough evidence to show that William had in anyway been involved in Richard’s death. He also ruled out suicide saying that there was ‘not a semblance of evidence to support it.’ The jury then returned a verdict of ‘wilful murder by the explosion of a parcel received by the deceased, but by whom sent there was no evidence to show.’
To this day the case is unsolved. Was it an elaborate suicide by a man who had taken on too much debt? Probably not. Maybe a spurned lover, what with the feminine handwriting on the parcel? Again, probably not. So, most likely it was William. So much for brotherly love. Just as well I’m not writing this in 1893 though, as several newspapers named William as the main suspect for his brother’s murder, and he sued them all. They all then hurriedly printed retractions.

Crampton Tower in Broadstairs sits just across from the railway station. Looking like the remains of a tower castle, this flint building was originally built in 1859 as part of Broadstairs public water supply. Water was pumped to the Tower from a well at its base, and this was supplemented from a small reservoir housed in a small dome shaped building close by.
The Tower was designed by Thomas Crampton, a Victorian engineer who mainly designed railways and locomotives, but was also responsible for the laying of the first effective telegraph cable under the English Channel.
In 1901 the District Council took over the supply of water to Broadstairs. Due to increased demand, water was pumped from elsewhere and the water supply from the Tower was used only in emergencies.
The Tower was eventually closed and now houses a museum in which are exhibited the working drawings and models of Thomas Crampton’s train designs, as well as various model railways.
Unfortunately, having not paid attention to the visiting times, the Tower and museum were closed when I arrived. So, rather than relay you with details of my wanderings there, I’ll tell the story of a rather explosive, unsolved murder than happened just down the street from the Tower.
Richard Richards was a ‘property owner and man of means’ who lived with his family in Broadstairs. In 1893 he was having a coffee house built near to the railway station and would often pop up to chat with the builder to see how work was progressing.

Getting back to Crampton Tower, which must have witnessed the explosive events of 1893, I wandered round to the dome shaped building that once housed the reservoir and left a Skulferatu resting on a flint ledge there.

We went into this little chapel that had this CRAZY spiral staircase with NO center pole (?!) No one really knows how it has been standing for as long as it has. It was even on unsolved mysteries!
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.
Part of the damage from the hit and run accident on our car.
Someone hit my car in Oakmont and kept going. Fortunately someone saw it happen, but not from close enough to get a license plate number. If anyone here sees a vehicle fitting the following description in the Oakmont, Verona, Penn Hills, or Plum area, please try to get the license plate number and then call the Oakmont Police at 412-826-1578 or email me. Thanks!
The vehicle was a late model, full sized, American pick-up truck (like an s-10 or f-150 probably). The truck was a dark color and had a medium sized decal centered in the back window. The truck would have damage along the driver's side of the vehicle.
Any help in tracking this idiot down would be great. I'll offer a small reward if someone has information that helps in arresting this guy for hit and run.
For a collection of photos about the Huron River Spill, look here: www.flickr.com/photos/ahknaten/collections/72157626327597...
This is a series of photos taken July 19, 2010 of a still unsolved pollution spill in the Huron River, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Photos are taken from 7:31 pm to 9:12pm on July 19th. First video taken at 6:49pm, last video taken at 9:01pm. No rain, so event was not caused by rain. Photos taken near pedestrian bridge, located near Nichols Arboretum and Mitchell Field. This case is still unsolved.
NOTE: This spill was not caused by a rain event. It rained that night, but the initial flushing/dumping was NOT caused by a rain event. Booms were in the water before the river rose.
For documents relating to this case, look here:
and here
The AAFD photos and my photos are the only known photos of this event. I tried giving these photos to University of Michigan Police (who investigated the spill that ran through University of Michigan grounds), but they weren't interested in entering them as evidence. So you won't find these photos in the official police record of the spill. But, I saw it and you can see it here.
