Always heard the first two lines, never the full rhyme
This is an interesting discussion on whether to print or not.
TMZ and the New York Post discuss the ethics of the case involving an anonymous celebrity who is fighting to keep their identity under wraps amid disturbing sexual misconduct allegations, fearing they may take their own life if their identity is revealed. Watch here: nypost.visitlink.me/taE4Sm
Some cases grace headlines, then are forgotten as time passes. This is one that haunts to this day. Someone has the answer and refuses to provide it. #truecrime
Every trip to @wbsm to talk with @Chris_topher_Mc
ends with a stroll through the #brahmin outlet

It was a "routine" police stop in a small town. Until it wasn't. Chief Greg Adams pulled over a car and ended up in a fight for his life. #truecrime
When a child disappears, heartbreak follows. When there are no answers for years, life becomes a horror. That is what many families face. #truecrime
Talked with host @Christo99029100 @Chris_topher_Mc from @WBSM1420 recently about my upcoming book, In the Hands of a Monster: The Abduction and Murder of Mary-Lou Arruda (now on pre-order from @McFarlandCoPub) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Life goes on but the questions remain. Who is responsible for the disappearance of 11 women from New Bedford, MA in 1988? If you know, contact the Bristol County District Attorney's Cold Case Unit. #truecrime
Chatting with @Chris_topher_Mc on @WBSM1420 about my soon to be released book - and my earlier #truecrime book featuring him and his colleagues in the grand finale. #saxonburg @chiefadams #statepolice
So honored by these kind words from a king of true crime, @MWilliamPhelps. Stay tuned for the release date. #truecrime @McFarlandBooks @McFarlandCoPub

With a storm coming, it is time to charge up the Kindle, check the flashlights, and make sure there's plenty of bread, peanut butter and other non-perishables in case we lose power. #reading
And, of course, the Handmaid's Tale (why am I not surprised with that one)
Florida's new list of banned books is a real TREAT. It features Harriet the Spy!!! (Who i feel like most parents would love to have as their kid???)

Maureen Boyle retweeted
Husband: My daughter needed a blood transfusion. The hospital asked for our blood types, and something didn't make sense.
Wife: That is not evidence of anything!
Judge: I didn't ask you.
Husband: I went home and checked my old medical records. Then I checked the children's records.
Judge: And what did you find?
Husband: My blood type is O. My wife's is O. But my son is AB.
Judge: Are you certain?
Husband: Yes, Your Honor. I checked the records twice.
Wife: Blood types don't prove anything! He is still their father!
Judge: That is precisely why we are here. I am ordering a DNA test.
Wife: You cannot do this to me!
Judge: The court has made its decision.
THREE WEEKS LATER
Remembering Mary-Lou Arruda and her family on what would have been her sixty-third birthday. She is forever fifteen in the hearts and memories of those who knew her and those who learned her story. Her life was short but her legacy is long.
Spending the weekend prepping classes for next week, grading, and hunting through my TBR pile to see what to read next. @BlackLyonPub #truecrime
Gloria Steinem inspired a generation of women.
May her legacy live on.

Before he was the darling of the internet, defense attorney Kevin Reddington was in the spotlight during the New Bedford serial case representing one of the suspects. (He is the guy in glasses by the boom pole. I'm next to him on the right) #truecrime #reddington @BrandeisPress
