Now I'm super fascinated by this case, but it seems like there are still a lot of unanswered questions and issues, including conflicting wtiness testimony and posible police misconduct/involvement?: [www.helpfindthemissing.org]
OMG, make this into a procedural crime drama, like NOW! I LOVE THEM! The Mentalist, Castle, Bones, L&O SVU, and hey even Life counts! I watch them all!!!
@mepo - Robert Cornhole invented it: It's not the best but I liked Inspector Lynley Mysteries. Because he is pretty. I don't require a lot from my television detectives.
My Mom has read every Agatha Christie book and watched every crime series ever made in the US and UK (seriously, I can list them). She's either going to solve a crime or kill one of us and get away with it. I better go apologise for my messy room as a teen and for her spending countless hours searching for that A La Carte Kitchen that Christmas.
im currently watching veronica mars (AGAIN) and now i have an even stronger desire to become an amateur detective. i trace it all back to my obsession with nancy drew when i was younger.
@erinoherin: ZOMG! Nancy Drew and Veeronica Mars RULE. I couldn't get enough Nancy Drew mysteries growing up & nowadays, I frequently rewatch episodes of Mars Investigations.
Who hears about a dead body and thinks, "gee, I'd like to get a look of that myself"? I mean, good for her for solving the case, but what an odd compulsion she had.
@morethanrain: Seriously. I love shows like Bones, but the scary images are safely contained in a little box on my entertainment center. I don't want to get up close and personal with real-world depravity.
@JerkoftheMonth: I am late to this party, but that is fascinating! I love murder mysteries. I'm in the process of rereading all of Martha Grimes' Richard Jury novels right now.
@all: Thanks, you guys! Unfortunately, I'm not studying exclusively women crime writers, which I would like to do at some point. Thesis is on LA/S. CA-based crime fiction; historio-cultural examination of hard-boiledness developing in S. CA 1920-present day. Thanks for your interest! Kisses to my fellow crime lovers.
that would be my dream PHD. But it would all have to be on Dame Agatha. If this was one of her books, this lady would be the 2nd body in many cases. @JerkoftheMonth: Mmm PHD in crime writing thanks for new dream.
