This post will be a bit different from the others in this series, as it involves an undisputed suicide. I think it is important to include Edward Crawford Jr’s story in this series of deaths left in the wake of the Ferguson Uprising - not because there is something suspicious or some greater conspiracy involved, …

Ferguson: Darren Seals
So with our third post in this Ferguson series, we meet our first victim who was a central figure in the protests - Darren Seals. This also makes him the first to fall in line with the sensationalist headlines that sparked this series (i.e. “six young black men tied to the Ferguson Uprising have been …
Ferguson: Shawn Gray
Onto our second post in the Ferguson series. When a man is found drowned after being reported missing, the death is ruled accidental - but many disagree with that ruling and want a deeper investigation to answer the remaining questions. What led Shawn Gray to the waters of the River Des Peres? Let’s explore. Who …
Ferguson: DeAndre Joshua
This is the first of six posts examining the deaths of young men both involved in and surrounding the Ferguson Uprising. DeAndre Joshua was found murdered in an apartment parking lot - but no answers have ever been given who why this young man met such a grisly fate. So we’re here to ask - …
So, For February
We’re getting a late start this month because I have been doing research. I’ve struggled with what to write about - do I do Valentine’s or lover stories? Do I do something for Black History Month? - and in my endless internet browsing, my topic found me. Six young men tied to the protests in …
The Unnamed: Rebel Ray

We’re back again this month with a cryptid! This one brings us to upstate New York, where a strange, blobby creature has been spotted throughout the decades. So - what is the Kinderhook Blob, and why does it not have as much of a cult following as other cryptids? Let’s explore. The Encounters In 1962, …
The Missing: Regina McCorkle
This month’s missing persons case brings us back to the great state of Illinois, in the somewhat great decade of the 80s. When a young mother goes missing and her toddler is found locked in their home, you’d think there would be dozens of news articles about the disappearance. That’s what happened to Regina McCorkle …
The Unsolved: Jesse Garcia
This month’s unsolved murder case comes to us out of Texas, from the so-called Golden Age of crime: the 1970’s. There isn’t a lot of information available online regarding this case, but let’s do what we can to keep Jesse’s name in the light. Was the murder a result of a confrontation at a nearby …
The Extraterrestrial: Palos Verdes Brains
Okay, everyone. We’re finally back (a bit late, sorry!) with an alien post - and you had better buckle up, because this is a weird one. There aren’t many (if any) credible sources for this one, but it’s just so bizarre that I had to cover it. So. What were the blue, brain-shaped entities sighted …
