Biological tests

[edit]
  • Ethyl glucuronide calculation - While there is an article on Ethyl glucuronide (ETG), little information is given upon the possible calculations of ETG (and ETS) levels after alcohol (ethanol) consumption as well as a lack of information on how these values fluctuate in correlations with creatinine concentration. Where ETG tests are used pervasively throughout the criminal justice system for individuals on probation, released on parole, or under general court order. With much research done over the past decades, this could be an important article specifically dealing with methods of calculating ETG based on ethanol consumed as a function of time and ml/kg of a subject similar to what is done on resources that offer a ETG Calculator. It is important to note that many resources will reference a BAC calculator and this has nothing to do whatsoever with ETG other than that ETG levels tend to rise exponentially as a function of BAC but is not suitable for calculating ETG.

Crimes

  • Iizuka case - see North Kanto Serial Young Girl Kidnapping and Murder Case
  • Murder by association
  • Operation Fountain Pen - 1970s FBI investigation into various confidence scams that seems to deserve more coverage. According to the LA Times, Operation Fountain Pen resulted in "the conviction of dozens of con men across the country" and "spawned" the Abscam investigation.[12][13][14] Related possible new article subjects could include FBI agent James J. Wedick Jr. (J. J. Wedick) and convicted con artist Phil Kitzer, both of whom were involved in multiple other cases that received considerable attention in the news as detailed in these sources.
  • Playing with Fire (ja:火遊び)

Victims

[edit]
  • Sabrina Aisenberg - 5-month old girl who went missing in late 1997. Whether or not she was killed and hidden by her parents or kidnapped is unknown. ([7]) - also see Disappearance of Ashley Summers
  • Aramazd Andressian Jr. - 5-year-old boy who was killed by his father, Aramazd Andressian Sr. (CBS News)
  • Tyesha Bell - 22-year-old mother of two who was last seen alive on May 10, 2003. Almost 20 years later, in December 2020, her remains were found. Foul play is suspected. ([8] (archive))
  • Tiffiany Beverly - African American teenager; disappeared May 27, 1997. Her remains were later discovered in a field near her home. Her stepfather, Oscar "JR" Patterson III, was convicted of molesting and murdering her. His conviction was later overturned, but a second jury found him guilty again, and he was sentenced to life in prison. (Tulsa World; News on 6; News on 6)
  • Terry Caffey - Texas preacher who survived being shot 5 times when his 16-year-old daughter, Erin, told her boyfriend, Charlie Wilkinson, and his friend Charles Allen Waid, to kill her entire family and burn down their home. After Charlie proposed to Erin with his grandmother's ring, her parents limited Erin's time with Charlie, Erin decided that "killing her parents…was their best option." Terry still visits his daughter and has since forgiven her for committing the massacre.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]archive with waybackTDCJ Criminal History
  • Rhonda Casto - 23-year-old model who passed away after falling off a cliff. It is widely believed that her boyfriend, Steven Nichols, had a hand in her death, as tests showed that only a hard push could've lead to the outcome ([16], around 22:30). Additionally, Nichols had taken a large life insurance policy out on Casto only a year before ([17] [18]), and had been sleeping with Casto's 16-year-old sister when he was 34 ([19]).
  • Surette Clark - Four-year-old girl who was murdered in 1970, not found for almost a decade, and not identified for another 30 years. It took so long to identify her because her father killed her, and nobody reported her missing until 1994. She is about as notable as Atcel Olmedo and Anjelica Castillo.[26]
  • Carolyn Coffey - Graduate student at Cornell University in Upstate New York who was murdered by her husband, Błażej Kot, who was also a graduate student there, in June 2009. [20]
  • Bethany Correira - see Bootleggers Cove, Anchorage
  • David Adolpho Gizzarelli - The city of San Francisco smeared David Gizzarelli and possibly killed his 16 month old American Staffordshire Terrier when David ran his puppy in an off leash area for dogs and a Park Police officer rode his lame thoroughbred racehorse into the off leash area for dogs. The fact that the police horse was lame, that the police officer did not shoot the dog, and the fact that horses are never seen in Crissy Field lend to the speculation that this was a cover up and an attempted murder. [21]; [22]; [23]; [24]; [25]; [26]; [27]; [28]
  • Deonte Hicks - Texas man killed by an online catfish ABC 13
  • Donna Jones - Deseret
  • Zanele Khumalo - black South African models who was murdered by her boyfriend[27] - considered to be a victim of missing white woman syndrome, as her death was overshadowed by that of Reeva Steenkamp
  • Oakey "Al" Kite - victim of unsolved 2004 murder
  • Ramon Timothy Lopez - held by force by a policeman on the ground for six minutes, after which he received burns from the hot asphalt, shortly after which he died - see List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, August 2020
  • Kevin Martin - 13-year-old boy who disappeared in 1994 in Stellarton, Nova Scotia. His body was found six years later, but his killer has yet to be found. (CTV News Atlantic)
  • Jaime Melgar - Stabbed to death in Texas home. His wife was tied up in a closet, but was convicted of the murder. (ABC News Go, Chron, People)
  • Dylan Redwine - In 2012, 13-year-old Dylan Redwine was declared missing by his father, Mark Redwine, who refused to cooperate with any investigation. A year later, some of Dylan's remains were found in an area Mark frequented on his ATV. Dylan's skull was found two years after the rest of his remains, a half mile away, with evidence of blunt force trauma. [29] [30]
  • Jared Scheierl - abducted by Danny Heinrich - see Murder of Jacob Wetterling
  • Stephanie Scott - Australian teacher who was brutally raped and murdered in the town of Leeton, New South Wales, on 5 April 2015. Received nationwide attention due to the tragic circumstances, as she was murdered 6 days out from her wedding, and the perpetrator, Vincent Stanford, had no hatred towards her, citing that he just 'wanted to kill'. Sentenced on 13 October 2016 to life imprisonment with no parole, plus 15 years for aggravated sexual assault. I feel due to the tragic circumstances of the event, the media coverage it has received and the enigmatic persona of the killer, an article on the case is appropriate. Semi-complete info boxes can be found in my sandbox. [31]; [32]; [33]
  • Mickey Shunick - 21-year-old fought her kidnapper, sex offender Brandon Scott Lavergne, gaining control of the knife twice and inflicting life-threatening injuries, before he shot her in the head [34]
  • Disappearance of Joseph Spisak - 11-year-old boy who disappeared after his newspaper route on January 27, 1974, in Hammond, Indiana. He had only $5 in his pocket and may have been spotted on nearby railroad tracks on the day of his disappearance, but nobody has found any trace of him since. As of 2019, his family is still devastated by his mysterious disappearance, as reported in two recent newspaper articles. [35] [36]
  • Michael Connor Verkerke - 9-year-old boy who was stabbed to death by an unnamed 12-year-old [37]
  • Nicole Waterhouse - murdered by Jeremy Peter Andrew Green in York (BBC)
  • Victoria Carmen White - African-American trans woman who was murdered on September 12, 2010, by Alrashim Chambers (Advocate, CBS Local New York, NJ)

  • Template:Supreme Courts of Europe In the UK for instance, there are at least 2 other de facto Supreme Courts alongside and in addition to the actual UK Supreme Court (the High Court of Justiciary of the Supreme Courts of Scotland and the Judiciary Committee of the Privy Council; if you don't also count the Houses of Parliament!) In France, there are 4 (technically all de facto) Supreme Courts. The present ad hoc template is just simply not fit for purpose. We need a proper, actual dedicated template.
