May 13, 2016 By Alice

The murder of Anne L. Barber Dunlap/Photo: KSTP/ Beth McDonough

The murder of Anne L. Barber Dunlap is hard to research. Many details online have been deleted, links to newspaper articles are broken, and the rest is repetitive. In this post I will try to sum up what I found in the public domain (see resources below). Anne was born on June 12, 1964. Her […]

Case of the Month: Iwona Mogila-Lisowska hardly has a web presence and if there is any information, it is in Polish. I found an October 2015 article in Polish in which her father Adam Puzio was interviewed. I used Google translate. It gave me the gist of the article but some details were not well translated. […]

The cold case of Theresa M. Corley (June 1, 1959 – Dec 4, 1978) needs another review. With new technology such as the M-Vac which has proven crucial in solving cold cases, we should check several items for touch DNA.

Remembering Michael Wade Glover (Aug 24, 1955 – September, 1976) isn’t easy if you were an infant when he died. Jennifer Glover is in that situation. Her father’s homicide is unsolved. Michael has no web presence and his case is not listed on the Monterey Police Department’s cold cases page. They do actively look at cold cases. Jennifer […]

Remembering Ena and Willie Cordt as the wonderful mother and son they were is easily overlooked when this case is discussed. The case after all, is a labyrinth with many possibilities. On July 27, 1985, Ena Mary McIntosh Cordt (Nov 15, 1956 – July 27, 1985) and Rory Wilhelm “Willie” Cordt (Aug 3, 1980 – […]

Author Notes

Since 2009, I write about unsolved cases that need renewed media attention. I only do research and leave active investigations to the authorities.

My posts cover homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to unsolved cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme, tone, and research. It is my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more.

My databases are free to the public. Cases are sorted by the victim’s last name.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the About page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you cannot find the answers there, please contact me.

Thank you,

Alice de Sturler
