Silvia was my sister. My old sister. She passed away in a Hospital in San Francisco.
She died alone, I didn't have tha chance to find her on time, I came late. Nobody knows how much I am suffering,
LM, so sorry for what you're going through. I'm glad that she was found so that you and your family had some sense of closure but the grieving process is still long and difficult. I also lost my sister about a year ago. :(
Paul T. Balzarano, a 43-year-old White man, was fatally shot on April 4, 2026, inside a second-floor bedroom of a Woodstock Avenue residence in Stratford, Connecticut. Responding officers found him lying on his back with blood pooling around his body; investigators determined he had sustained nine gunshot wounds to his leg, torso, and neck. A neighbor’s security camera recorded about 13 gunshots, then showed an individual leaving the house, running to the driver’s side of a vehicle and driving away.
Investigators focused on 22-year-old Robert Kopasz, the son of a woman who had been romantically involved with Balzarano and who had ties to the home. Electronic and vehicle records reportedly placed a car associated with Kopasz at the scene that night. A rifle later recovered from woods near River Road was linked by ballistics to 13 spent .223-caliber casings found at the scene, and DNA on the rifle’s trigger reportedly matched Kopasz. Searches of his residence yielded multiple firearms, high-capacity magazines and ammunition.
Kopasz surrendered and was arrested on April 28, 2026, on charges including murder by firearm and illegal possession of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. No definitive motive has been established publicly. If anyone knew Balzarano or has information about the night of April 4, please come forward.
Thank you for your response. I am Paul's cousin and have just come across this page. There was an arrest made 04/28/2026. His ex-girlfriend's son was the killer. They were broken up but still co-habituating. Let me know if you have any questions, I am more than happy to answer them.
Sad update. :( Authorities announced that human remains recovered during an excavation at a home on the 3700 block of Wisteria Drive have been positively identified as Noel Angel Rodriguez-Alvarez, the Everman boy who went missing in October 2022. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner used dental records to confirm the ID, and investigators say forensic experts are still determining cause and manner of death. Noel’s mother, Cindy Rodriguez (41), who was previously charged with capital murder and extradited from India, was earlier found incompetent to stand trial and ordered to a state hospital for competency restoration.
Update: Dana Jermaine Shepherd (53) has been sentenced to 45 years in prison after pleading guilty to the 1993 murder of 19-year-old Carmen Van Huss, who was found in her northside Indianapolis apartment on March 24, 1993. Shepherd was linked to the case by DNA and arrested in August 2024, and under the plea prosecutors dismissed the other charges. Carmen’s death was a cold case for decades, and this plea resolves the criminal case against the man identified as her attacker.
This has to bring some relief after so many years of waiting; I hope Carmen’s family gets the answers and justice they’ve been fighting for thru all these years. I saw the sentencing reported on the local news and am glad theres finally a resolution, even if it cant undo what happened and the family still deserved more time with her, didnt they?
Finally some news on this one. Dan (Daniel) Davis, the 59-year-old longtime 115 Bourbon Street employee who went missing in late November 2025, was found dead in Blue Island. Family members and city officials said his body was located in a wooded area next to train tracks near 3301 W. Wireton Road, and the Cook County Medical Examiner has confirmed the identification.
He was last seen on Nov. 25-26, 2025 after a car crash and was captured on surveillance in Blue Island before disappearing. His daughter Wendy posted the family’s update on social media, and the city says the investigation is ongoing.
Horrible end to a long search. I hope the family gets answers and some peace, and that investigators can clarify how this happened.
My name is Cameron Jackson. I am one of Carl Leroy Jackson Jr.’s sons. My dad went missing in Fruita, Colorado, in September 2003. I recently started looking back into his case and trying to find answers after all these years. If anyone has additional information about Carl or remembers anything surrounding his disappearance, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Our family still wants answers, and we haven’t forgotten about him.
Do you know who is handling your fathers case? Is it a cold case unit? I think you are able to file document asking for information or release of his records to you.
yeah. I looked into the official Colorado cold case listings and Carl Leroy Jackson is still shown as missing since September 2003 with the Fruita Police Department listed as the investigating agency (case 03FL1434), so the case appears to remain open. If you haven’t already, you can request his file from Fruita PD and ask whether the Colorado Bureau of Investigation has an active entry , that’s often the route families take to get copies or updates.

The found her skeletal remains in her car march of 2025 in the Fox River up in Elgin Il.
yeah , they recovered her yellow Toyota Celica from the Fox River in late March 2025 and the Kane County coroner later confirmed the remains were Karen’s. 😔
LaShaunda Spurlock, who went missing April 29, 2024, has been confirmed as the remains found in Bennettsville earlier this year. The Marlboro County coroner and Chesterfield County investigators announced the ID in mid-August 2026, and Bennettsville police previously arrested Luke Douglas Jr. in April on charges related to desecration/removal of human remains after they say he admitted to hiding and later disposing of the body. This finally gives the family an answer after being left searchin' and waitin' for over two years, tho it’s awful news. Anyone here know if prosecutors have added additional charges or if the coroner released any more details on the cause of death, or are we gonna have to push thru public records to find out?
Kimberley Faye Gsell, last seen Sept. 28-29, 2019 in Carlisle, PA, has been located and this case has a major update. Investigators recovered her remains on Sept. 25, 2026 and David Allen Snyder (39) of Hanover was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and strangulation after detectives say he admitted to strangling her and led them to where she was buried, arraigned on Sept. 26 and denied bail. I know ppl here have followed this for years, and prob a lot of us hoped for a different outcome, but this is a big development , anyone seen more court dates or filings thru the county system?
It was in the early morning of Halloween it happened at 1:00 am on October 31st
and yes we have been living in a real life horror ever since
