Trench Reynolds: DBKP This Week in Crime - 24

July 13-July 19, 2008






I'm Trench Reynolds.

I blog about crime.


This is the DBKP Week in Crime for July 13th-July 19th, 2008.


This week at the newly redesigned craigscrimelist the story this week was about an Idaho man who was tried and convicted for using craigslist to try to rape someone. You won't believe what his defense was.

My favorite link that I posted at CrimeNe.ws this week was about how some police departments are using injections to subdue some suspects.

Things slowed down this week again at News of Doom but I did post an update to the Megan Williams torture case.

At MyCrimeSpace the story of the week was about Joseph Genovese Jr. He killed a woman while driving under the influence then basically bragging about it on MySpace. You won't believe this one.

At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles a man who threatened a Columbine investigator only received probation. Yet people wonder why there are so many repeat offenders.

And lastly the Bad Breeders story of the week was the search for 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony who has been missing for over a month but her mom never reported it.

Trench Reynolds: DBKP This Week in Crime 23

July 6-July 12, 2008


I'm Trench Reynolds.

I blog about crime.


This is the DBKP Week in Crime for July 6th-July 12th, 2008.


I'm going to start out light this week with a story I posted at craigscrimelist. It was about a Florida government employee who was arrested for using craigslist to harass someone. What made it humorous is that I had a field day with his unfortunate name.

My favorite link that I posted at CrimeNe.ws was about an experimental crowd control device that has the tin foil hat crowd up in arms.

Business picked up at News of Doom and that's never a good thing. The most horrific story of the week was about an Oklahoma family who committed one of the worst cases of child abuse I've ever had the displeasure of posting about.

At MyCrimeSpace the conversation continued about the disappearance of Brooke Bennett especially with the revelation that the state of Vermont released her alleged abductor early.

At Psycho for Love I posted about an arrogant punk who gunned downed his girlfriend in front of witnesses and on surveillance tape but denied it.

At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I posted about the revelations that came out this week about NIU gunman Stephen Kazmierczak.

And lastly the Bad Breeder of the week and possibly the year was an Ohio woman who did unspeakable things to her children.

That's it for this week. I'm Trench Reynolds for DBKP.

Here's hoping I don't blog about you.

Trench Reynolds: DBKP The Week in Crime

January 13-20, 2008


I'm Trench Reynolds.

I blog about crime.

This is the DBKP Week in Crime for January 13th-19th, 2008.

First up at craigscrimelist I didn't just editorialize this week. This week I like to think I actually made a little bit of a difference. In on case I helped a woman get help to combat harassing craigslist ads. In another I'm trying to help spread the word about stopping human trafficking on craigslist. If you're going to visit any of my posts this week please visit these two.

No blogging this week at the user generated CrimeNe.ws. However the story I've been following and providing links to this week were the shooting deaths of two Dekalb County, Georgia police officers Eric Barker and Ricky Bryant Jr.

Right now CrimeNe.ws could use some new members. It's sort of like Digg for crime but there's no voting. all stories get to the front page. We have a great user base but right now it's not enough. If you're into crime like I am we could really use your help over there to supply us with some great crime news links. There's even an option for all users to blog about crime if they choose.

This week's theme over at News of Doom seemed to be crazy people with other people's kids. First we had the story of a man from Hawaii who threw a baby from an overpass. Then we had the woman from Massachusetts who walked her niece and nephew into oncoming traffic. It goes towards a point I've been making for the past several months that in today's society were more worried about the feelings of the dangerously insane than we are about the safety of the public.

At MyCrimeSpace I bemoaned about how pointless MySpace's new defenses for children are. The attorneys general who are patting themselves on the back should be taking a closer look at lax parents but this lax parents are voters.

Over at Psycho For Love I posted an update about teacher Kelsey Peterson. You should remember her. She was the teacher who fled to Mexico with her 13-year-old student. Her attorney argues that her victim is actually older but his passport says otherwise.

At Public Enemy: Player1 I posted about two Russian MMORPG players who took Player vs. Player to the next level. I don't know how true the story is but it still makes good copy.

With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy over at Tased and Confused we have a new3 redneck joke. You might be a redneck if you steal a Taser from a cop then post the video on YouTube of you and your dad Tasing each other. Unfortunately the actual video was pulled from YouTube.

At TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I not only blog about school shooters but also criminals that fit the school shooter profile. This week I blogged about the Ron Paul of criminals, the West Memphis 3. I call them that because they have massive Internet support but in the real world not so much. A lot of people on the net think they were wrongly convicted of their crimes, I for one do not. This week not only did the Arkansas Attorney General chide the WM3 movement for leading a misleading campaign about new DNA evidence but it also seems that their movement may be becoming a house of cards.

That's it for this week. Until next week I'm Trench Reynolds, waiting, watching.

Trench Reynolds: DBKP - The Week in Crime

January 6-12, 2008


I'm Trench Reynolds.

I blog about crime.

This is DBKP's Week in Crime for the week of January 6th-12th, 2008.

At craigscrimelist the focus was on a bunch of scammers from long island who were placing phony ads on craigslist claiming to sell Porches then robbing the buyers when they showed up. Turns the ring was nothing more than a bunch of teens.

At the user generated news site CrimeNe.ws blogging was light this week. However, even though I'm not usually one for stories about the missing blonde girl of the week I couldn't help but be drawn to the story of missing and now murdered pregnant Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach.

Over at my site about social network related crimes MyCrimeSpace this big story this week was that a federal grand jury has issued subpoenas in the case of Megan Meier. I'm sure DBKP readers remember the tale of Megan Meier, the 14-year-old girl from Missouri who was driven to suicide by a fake MySpace hoax perpetrated by adult and neighbor Lori Drew. Now the Feds may be looking to file fraud charges against Lori Drew.

This past week at News of Doom which highlights man's inhumanity to man at it's basest level I've declared 2008 to be the year of child abusers and not in a good way. Just last week I posted about an Iowa witch who killed his step-children, an Alabama man who through his kids off of a bridge, a Washington D.C. 'mother' who killed her four children because they were 'possessed', a Pennsylvania 'man' who was caught beating the children he was trying to adopt, a Florida 'man' who killed his baby daughter because he wanted a son, and a New York woman who burned her son in an oven.

For those of you keeping score at News of Doom there is a five way tie for first/last place between OH,TX,FL,PA,and AL. Florida has yet to be beat in the year end scoring.

At Psycho for Love I'm still following the saga of beauty queen turned kidnapper Kumari Fulbright. However the story that most caught my eye this week was the story of Jason Michael Fife who in order to stop his wife from cheating sent a bloody severed cow's head to his wife's lover. Apparently it worked because they reconciled.

At my video game related crime site Public Enemy: Player1 I touched on two arson cases that were linked to video games. One in Georgia linked to a Tony Hawk skateboarding game and one in North Carolina linked to the ultraviolent Postal 2. I'm sure it had nothing to do with kids with too much time on their hands and no parental supervision.

At my site that celebrates Tasers and all things Taser related Tased and Confused I heralded the coming of TASER Internationals latest product, the Taser MPH. It's a Taser that comes with MP3 player built into the holster. I refrained from calling in the iTaser.

And lastly at my blog about school violence TheTrenchcoat Chronicles I posted about an attack at a school that really didn't generate all the much national attention and it should have. It happened at Antietam Middle-Senior High School near Reading, PA. A 13-year-old male stormed the school with knives and a blow torch before he was subdued by school officials. Luckily there were only minor injuries.

That's it for this week. Until next time I'm Trench Reynolds and I'll be waiting in the shadows.

The Week in Crime

December 30, 2007 - January 5, 2008


My name is Trench Reynolds.

I blog about crime.

Some of you may know me from my several crime blogs. Others of you may know me from my contribution here at DBKP on the Megan Meier situation.

Thanks to the generosity of Mondoreb I'll now be bringing you the week in crime from my blogs here at DBKP. I haven't thought of a name for this feature yet so feel free to recommend one. Let's get on with the show shall we?

Crime

For the week of Dec, 30th-Jan, 5th

craigscrimelist documents crime related to the popular online classified site craigslist. This week's story focuses on Miami realtor Dean Isenburg.

He pleaded guilty to placing a phony 'escort' ad on craigslist in order to harass his top competitor. The ad stated that his competitor was a prostitute and gave out her home phone number.

CrimeNe.ws is a user generated crime news site that also allows blogging capabilities. This past week I blogged about William Enman.

He was found not guilty by reason of insanity back in 1974 in the beating death of a New Jersey man. He escaped from his psychiatric facility back in September.

My point with this post was that back in 1991 a court ruled that Enman didn't have to take his medication and that the courts are more worried about killer's feelings than the safety of the public.

MyCrimeSpace deals with crime as it relates to social network sites like MySpace and Facebook. On Dec, 30th I posted about Anthony Uckele who is a 24-year-old California man who was convicted for having a sexual relationship with a 12-year-old girl.

It amazed me how many people posted comments on this case that blamed the 12-year-old victim.

News of Doom is a site that I created that continues to perplex me to this day. It documents the crime stories that as I say is proof that as a race humans don't deserve to exist.

The stories on News of Doom are the most heart wrenching stories you'll find. More than occasionally I hate posting at News of Doom but every time I shut it down my readers beg me to bring it back. I guess people love to be pissed off.

In my opinion the most disparaging of these stories in the past week was the story of Michael Gagnon. He's a Michigan drunk driver that killed 5 members of a Maryland family in Ohio over the New Year's weekend.

Psycho for Love is a blog that I inherited from a previous blogger at b5media who I do some work for. It's motto basically describes the site, "When passion leads to crime".

This week the majority of my focus has been on former Arizona beauty queen turned kidnapper Kumari Fulbright. She's also a law student and after being indicted is being allowed to return to the University of Arizona Law School.

Public Enemy:Player1 takes pro-gamers' look at video games and crime. The story that caught my attention most this week was that of 20-year-old Joshua R. Stetar of Upstate New York. He stalked a 15-year-old girl who played Halo who lived in Washington state. That was a 2600 mile drive for Setar.

I made Tased and Confused in the wake of the "Don't Tase me Bro" controversy. My opinion is that is cops didn't use Tasers they'd still be using their guns more often and that if you've been Tased you've probably deserved it.

This week I posted about one Frank Waterhouse of Portland, Oregon. He was Tased by the Portland PD while he videotaped them pursuing a fleeing suspect on his property. I think he deserved it for interfering with the policemen's job but of course he's suing.

Lastly we have my very first blog TheTrenchcoat Chronicles where I've been posting for almost 8 years. It mainly deals with school shootings and other school related crimes.

Since most schools have been on holiday break news has been a little slow so I went off topic this week and posted about how some Latino gangs in L.A. are practicing ethnic cleansing.

That's the week that was for the week in crime. This is Trench Reynolds and I'll see you next week.
