My’Leena Ra’Gine Colvin

Murdered: 2018-10-09

I wonder if this is a case of they are pretty sure they know who did it but not enough evidence to convict. I hope someone talks, or confesses so it is not just hangin in that limbo state forever.

This is a horrifying story. What did the killer do with her head? This is so strange. It says Michael Raymond Popp was charged with her murder in 2024. Why would it take so long to match up his DNA. I have heard stories of DNA backlogs that are years long but about 40 years later? He already lived his life. I hope he is miserable for the remaining time he has left.

Doug Adamson

Murdered: 2006-09-17
Hey everyone,
I've been following the Doug Adamson case closely, and something really unsettling keeps sticking in my mind. It's the discovery of Doug’s head and one leg still missing. I can’t even begin to imagine the unbearable sense of incompleteness and lack of closure this must bring to his family. Not only are they grappling with the loss of a loved one in such a brutal and senseless manner, but they're also left with these unanswered questions that must haunt them every single day.
I’ve seen cases where parts of the body were never recovered, and it always seems to complicate the grieving process. It just feels like the story is unfinished. I’m really hoping that the continued search efforts or even a tip from the public might give Doug’s family some of the answers they desperately need.
It's grim to think about what kind of person could do something so horrific, and why. If anyone has any thoughts on why those parts might still be missing or knows of similar cases where resolutions were found, I'd really like to hear about it. Perhaps understanding more about such cases could lead us closer to justice.
Sending peace and strength to Doug's family and hoping that they get the resolution they need.
Stay safe, everyone.

Thank you for your kind words. I am his kin, still searching for answers 20 years later.

Niles Johantgen

Murdered: 1991-12-21
I recently stumbled upon a detail about Officer Niles Johantgen's case that’s been on my mind. I’ve read about the terrible incident that led to his untimely death, but I want to focus on his incredible dedication both to the Atlanta PD and as a Marine Corps veteran. It’s clear from what I’ve read that Officer Johantgen was deeply committed to serving and protecting his community. I imagine that his military background played a significant role in shaping the person he was—a person who clearly valued duty and service above all. His tragic passing is not just a loss felt by his family and colleagues, but it’s a reminder of the daily sacrifices that police officers make. In these forums, we often focus on the facts and the suspects, which is understandable, but I think it’s important to also honor the memory of the individuals who serve and put themselves in harm's way, often without recognition. Sending thoughts of strength and peace to his family and anyone else who knew him and continues to keep his legacy alive. ?

Beautifully said.

Mercedes Jackson

Murdered: 2018-01-02
I've been following Mercedes Jackson's tragic case, and what really strikes me is the courage of her mother during the sentencing. I mean, facing the person who took your child's life must be unimaginable. Her words were so powerful and raw, addressing Antonio Collier directly like that. It just shows the strength of the human spirit in the face of such immense grief and loss. It’s a stark reminder of how far-reaching the impacts of domestic violence are—on entire families and communities. I really hope this raises more awareness and helps prevent similar tragedies in the future. My heart goes out to Mercedes's family and friends during these tough times.

I agree. Tragic

Rose Gayhart

Missing: 1985-03-14

Whoever that was involved in Rose's death I hope it has eaten away at them all these years. I hope they are brought to justice someday even if it is decades later.

Taylor ShyAnn Ratterree

Murdered: 2025-12-16

She was so young. She did have the sense to try to save herself by attempting to flee the vehicle but he killed her in cold blood. I don't know what he was convicted of but I hope he got life without parole for taking this beautiful soul from her family.

Maria Cintora-Silva

This is a horrible thing that happened to this family. I hope for healing and peace for everyone that was affected by this.

Clifton Womack

Missing: 1985-04-05

I imagine his family had an inkling that the body found in the barn was Clifton. I am glad after so many years they confirmed it. Looking at the report it looks like he died of exposure. I am glad it was not violent. I am saddened that his mother was not alive to have the confirmation of what definitively happened to her youngest son.

Jay Farr

Missing: 2011-10-15
I'm struck by the fact that Jay Evans Farr's canoe and dinghy ended up miles away in Antrim County. It's really puzzling how the winds and currents could have carried them so far, but with no sign of Jay himself. I wonder if anyone familiar with boating in Northport Bay could shed some light on how those conditions typically affect small boats. It's a haunting detail, knowing he must have been out there dealing with those powerful forces. I'm also curious if there's ever been any effort since 2011 to re-analyze the weather data from that day. Could newer technology or models provide any additional insights into what happened in those waters? It's been so many years, but understanding the conditions could at least help piece together some parts of Jay's last moments.

More insite as you suggest would be wonderful. I am his youngest daughter, and best friend. None of the things add up from this horrible morning… almost 14yrs later, I’m still looking for him and missing him more than ever.
