Please feel free to leave your thoughts and/or comments about any of the cases that we are highlighting below. All these cases have touched both of us greatly and have inspired us to start this blog to help people focus on the crimes that are effecting normal people like you and me.  We are not sure what this blog will evolve into but hopefully it will help someone out there in some small way.

We would also entertain any advice on how to improve our site.  I guess at this point, our ultimate goal is to provide a conduit for crimes making news.

Corrie Anderson

On October 28, 2008, 36 year old mother of three Corrie Anderson left the Dodge dealership located in Lake County after visiting a friend.  She has not been seen since.  Her family notified police later that afternoon when she missed a parent/teacher conference and didn’t pick up her 6 year old son after school.  Two days later, a hunter found Corrie’s blue van by a gas well roughly ½ mile walking distance from her home but there was no sign of Corrie.  Several interesting facets surround this case.  One, rumor is that she is dating/involved with someone from the dealership and that is why she was there that afternoon.  Two, neighbors say that Corrie told them she came home from work recently and found someone had broken into her home and rearranged her furniture.  Three, Corrie told friends that she was threatened with a gun (not sure by whom though).  And finally, no one really seems to know if Kenneth Anderson, who was questioned for a few hours and then released, and Corrie are divorced or still in the process of divorce.   Click here for the latest developments.

Nailah Franklin

In September 2007, this 28 year old pharmaceutical sales representative’s life was brutely taken away from her and her family and friends.  Such a selfish act of a monster.  This woman looked like the picture of all good things in the world.  Successful, beautiful, friendly, energetic, etc.  She appeared from all the photos and comments I saw and read to have so much to give and it was all brutely taken away.  Reginald Potts alledgedly dated Nailah for a short time prior to her murder.  This one made me cry.  Click here for the latest developments.
