December 8, 2021 By Alice

William Peter Cook (Dec 17, 1924 – Oct 20, 1950): A Forensic Science Follow Up by Sue Carney December 06, 2021 I love a forensic science chat on Twitter, and it’s been a while since I’ve had one, so when Alice wanted to chat last weekend about an upcoming post on DCC, I was totally up […]

The Yard by Alex Grecian

November 2, 2013 By Alice

The Yard by Alex Grecian really shows you how book characters evolve. People pick up the courage to talk.

A child perseveres despite torturous treatment and miraculously never loses trust in the general […]

On my website, I write about old, unsolved cases. Most are from the pre-DNA era and all are in need of renewed media attention. I only do research and leave the active investigation of these cases to the professionals.

My posts are about homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to these 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 and research. It remains my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more.

My database has hundreds of cases listed by the victim’s last name. You will find a brief description there as well. The database is free to the public.

All writing suggestions for cases that come in by email are added to my to-do list in the order in which they were received. Please be patient. My to-do list is very long but no case gets dropped and I will get back in touch.

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 still cannot find the answer there, please contact me.

Thank you,

Alice de Sturler
