This had to be a mistake.” It had been always believed that Bob Marley passed away from cancer in 1981 because he returned to Jamaica by plane from Germany. However, if this happened, why was his body lying behind the fast food restaurant? It is interesting that the Chambers were able to come up with only one explanation: “Naturally I concluded somebody was playing a joke on us, and told my assistant to label the body as ‘persons unknown’. This would mean he could be cremated by authorities and the death filed as that of an unknown male in his late 60s to early 70s. But it was then that things got really weird.” That same afternoon, the chief coroner, was visited by men in sunglasses. These introduce themselves as ‘government officials’. They were all wearing black suits. They said that Bob Marley grow tired of all the attention he was getting and the only thing he wanted was to live a quiet life of a street busker in Jamaica. That is why he faked his own death in 1981. These men also confirmed that the body was indeed the reggae legend. The Jamaican government admitted going along with Marley’s plan, on the understanding they would receive the royalties from his most successful album,
The investigative team and I arrived at the crime scene at 1.38 a.m. When we arrived, Arthur Volupides was found dead at the bottom of the stairs. Queenie Volupides, the wife of Arthur, claimed that Arthur had been coming down the stairs for another drink when he tripped and fell down the stairs.The autopsy confirmed that Arthur died from a blow to the head, but we are uncertain what actually caused the incident. We also were informed that Arthur and Queenie had an altercation earlier that day. Although Mrs. Volupides’ claim does make sense, we believe that Arthur did not trip and fall on his own and for several reasons.

Recently a guy Named Ronald Lee Moore, who is now dead, had been linked to the death of a 17 girl that was strangled. Deirdre says, “ What makes more sense? That little seventeen- year old, never been in trouble with the law Adnan killed someone or that Ronald Lee Moore, rapist and murderer who got out of prison thirteen days before Hae disappeared, that he killed someone?” (Koenig, “What We Know”). It could have been that man, because he killed one girl already. What would be stopping him from killing another? When the investigators went to Leakin Park they found a few items. The condom wrapper, shell casings, rope, and liquor bottle found in the park near the burial site were never tested for DNA (Koenig, “ Leakin Park”). With the DNA evidence actually being tested, they could effortlessly tell who may have been involved or not, because you can’t just acquire another person’s DNA without them touching the object. Another point that needs to be brought to the table is that it could have been Mr. S. that found the body. He says he pulled off because he had to pee from the 22-ounce Budweiser he was drinking (Koenig, “Leakin Park”) For one, who pulls off and goes to the bathroom in a park known for burying dead bodies? In addition, it takes a pretty shady person to drink alcohol before arriving back to work. Also, what would be the chances of him walking to the

The paper discusses how Marley’s music changed society by mainstreaming the ideas of black resistance, social justice, racial equality, and anti-colonialism to the baby-boom generation and generations endlessly onward.

This is an attempt to unravel the tangle by an objective and empirical examination of information from crime scene and post mortem examination of the victims. Pre-digested information such as speculative newspaper reports, and statements from witnesses other than those called in a professional capacity have been avoided since theirs is largely subjective testimony that confounds more than it informs.
One of his most prestigious and understandable mistakes was on a decapitated, headless body. Doctor Bass found a recently uncovered body in a shallow grave outside of an old antebellum home. After much debate and much study and looking and thinking of possible outcomes for many hours, Doctor Bass and local law enforcements solved the very elusive mystery. The news and the answers of the mystery case baffled and shocked everyone. It seems that the headless body was originally buried in the grave around two hundred years previous, during the time of the Civil War!
Bob Marley is a name most people know but his accomplishments and dedication to music is often overlooked. Bob was more than just a reggae artist, he was an inspiration to the country of Jamaica. He was a role model to the poverty stricken island and gave hope to many people. Bob was born on February 6, 1945 in his grandfather's house. He was the son of a poor farm girl and a British naval Captain. Soon after his birth Bob's father, Norval Marley, left his mother. He remained responsible and provided financial support and occasionally came back to see them.

“From the shantytowns of Kingston, Jamaica, to the cobblestones streets of Great Britain, reggae music was a powerful and liberating voice for the poor and oppressed. In the last thirty years, reggae stars Bob Marley, Burning Spear, and Alpha Blondy have sung “redemption” songs- messages of human rights and universal love in a “Babylonian” world of civil unrest, political instability, and economic collapse”(Bays, King, and Foster, 2002, p. XI). Bob Marley was the most famous reggae artist to bring popularity upon the music; selling over 20 million records worldwide. His songs such as “One Love” and “Redemption Song” were inspired by the effects of oppression upon blacks in Jamaica. Marley's persona for unity and peace among people throughout the world was an inspiration for Jamaicans. Most blacks in Jamaica during the 1960s suffered from economic hardships and racial discrimination. This in turn marked the beginning of a religious movement called Rastafarinism where reggae music was an element that distinguished Rastafarians from the rest of society. According to Chang and Chen, British colonial authorities and the local establishment viewed Rastafarians; forthright espousal of black unity and pride, and their unconventional appearance and customs, as threats to the existing social order. (Chang, Chen, 1998. p.26) Reggae music allowed blacks to have pride of their culture and not limited themselves to the demeaning social orders in
