People go missing all the time and are found in just a short amount of time. But what about the people who go missing and are never found again? Murders in Illinois are more common than not. In these four cases, the individual goes missing mysteriously and are recovered in pieces or not at all. How does this happen? People may never know but the families will keep fighting until someone gives them an answer.

The National Geographic film, A Portrait of a Killer, examines the types of stress that living beings can endure, and how it can thus affect the rest of their bodies. Severe chronic stress can lead even lead to the destruction of brain cells. Dr. Robert Sapolsky is a neurobiologist of Stanford University who has been researching stress for over thirty years. In order to study stress and its implications upon nonhumans, he went to Africa to study baboons. This species has only three hours of stress caused by eating, and the rest of their daily routine is consumed by about nine hours of free time. Much like Western society, baboons socially stress out one another, as they have social hierarchies to regulate how them interact with one another.

Australian career criminal and convicted armed robber Stephen Asling, 56, has been convicted of the murder of respected underworld figure, Graham ‘The Munster’ Kinniburgh by the Victorian Supreme Court after more than a decade (Fox Koob 2017). In 2003, Asling and his accomplice, Terrence Blewitt, ambushed and gunned down Kinniburgh, 62, outside his home in Melbourne. The murder was by a contract with late underworld kingpin Carl Williams, who wanted Kinniburgh dead due to his tie-in with the Moran clan. Williams detested the Moran’s after he was shot and wounded during a dispute and it lead to a rivalry during the Melbourne gangland war (Deery & Murphy 2017). Asling and Blewitt was offered $150,000 to execute Lewis Moran however if they were

Hey, Cory, I researched and found an article about a man named Harold J. Stewart, a 42-year-old high school dropout, who defended himself in a murder case in Prince George's County, whereas he was accused of beating a sleeping man to death with a baseball bat. (Casteneda, 2008) Stewart’s pro se trial only lasted three days; where is the fairness in this prosecution? The jury only deliberated for about an hour. It seems like Stewart never had a chance; considering, at the most, it takes at least more than a day even to hear evidence in a murder trial. It was faith because the jurors found Stewart not guilty of first-degree murder and not guilty of second-degree murder. (Casteneda, 2008) You know there is a saying a man who represents himself

At around 4 a.m. on January 31st outside of an Atlanta nightclub where a post Super Bowl party was winding down, an argument broke out between two groups. The altercation escalated from verbal to physical when one man struck another over the head with a champagne bottle. The actions to take place in the following chaotic moments were fast and furious, and it seems no two eyewitnesses saw the same thing. What is conclusive about the outcome is that a limousine sped away, gunshots were fired at it, and Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar died from multiple stab wounds. If convicted along with his two friends, Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens will go from three-time All-Pro to lifetime inmate.

When you see the shows such as Homicide Hunter or Killer Instincts many times my mom and I try to figure out who is the murder. Most of the time my prediction is right because of the details my mom misses, and putting together all the clues. From then on I realised I had a gift, even if it was I was just watching television show. That is what sparked my interest the criminal justice area. I have contemplated the career choices that would best fit my interest leaving me with Homicide Detective and Criminologist. While both careers deal with criminal justice they differ greatly in the type of work environment, pay, skills/education.

I think that new media was involved in changing this case from a usual, “I feared for my life” routine to a police officer being charged with murder because the media coverage showed evidence of the actual footage during Walter Scott’s death. By different media outlets showing this disturbing footage allowed the world to see that this was a murder and not a self-defense case. Since, there was actually footage of Walter Scott being shot down by Officer Michael T. Slager after he falsely claimed that he shot Scott because of a scuffle over his stun gun made it easy to convict him murder. I think the media played a vital role in this case because if there had not been actually footage, then Officer Slager words would have been accepted as the
