By: Shane Lambert Episode 2 of Season 2 of Riverdale is available on Netflix. Those that have not watched it should be warned: this article contains plot spoilers in the very next paragraph. You have to stop reading now in order to avoid them. If you don't care about the plot spoilers, then scroll down. ********Plot Spoilers******** The episode, which is called "Nighthawks," centers around Archie Andrews, his fears over the fact that someone shot his father, and Pop Tate's efforts to save his fledgling business. The episode finishes with Midge and Moose starting to kiss in a lover's lane. A man, almost for certain the one that shot Fred Andrews and murdered Miss Grundy, emerges from behind Moose's car as he and Midge start to kiss. This man, the apparent serial killer that's terrorizing Riverdale, fires shots into the car, perhaps killing the amorous teenagers. Whether they are dead or not is something that isn't clear as "Nightha...

By: Shane Lambert Some say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, a saying meant to suggest that children usually have the characteristics of their parents. In some cases that could definitely be for the better, however with Stephen Paddock , the man that murdered at least 59 people and injured hundreds others, it definitely seems for the worse. Back in 1969 Benjamin Hoskins Paddock made the FBI's most-wanted list, a list that Stephen certainly would have been on had he made any kind of escape after his spree killing in Las Vegas on the evening of October 1st. B. Paddock was the subject of an article in the June 11th, 1969 issue of The Arizona Republic. The article stated that he was "balding, (stood) 6 feet 4, (had) been diagnosed as a psychopath and (was) considered 'extremely dangerous'" (no author listed). Certainly the last two characteristics applied to both father and son.

By: Shane Lambert Alexis Scott is missing out of Peoria, Illinois. She was added to the NamUs Missing Person website on Sunday, October 1st, 2017. She went missing just eight days earlier on Saturday, September 23rd, 2017 at about 4am to 6am. That makes for a short gap between her last-seen time and her NamUs-profile-created time. NamUs offers the following circumstances:  "Alexis was last seen at a house party, 123 Richmond Avenue Peoria, IL on 09/23/17 between the hours of 4-6am. "Witness" states that she left on foot after 5:30am but that’s yet to be confirmed." The blurb at NamUs is a little strange in that they chose to quote the word "Witness" instead of just writing the word straight as there is no need to quote someone in that instance. It's unclear if they are using that word in a sarcastic sense, which would normally involve single quotations. Description: Black female, long hair Tattoos on right shoulder: Paw Prints ...

I did some very quick research on Christina Lynn Carter. She has been missing since September 17th, 1973 when she was 3 years old. Her mother was found murdered at about that time, however it took a month to ID her mother. For this reason it was not known that Christina Lynn was missing until late October of 1973. She has not been seen since and theories on what probably happened to her aren't too satisfying. Websleuth help: same-name research to be aware of Someone named Christina Lynn Carter was issued a marriage license in Manhattan, Kansas in September of 1991 Someone named Christina Lynn Carter was admitted to the JC Blair Memorial Hospital according to The Daily News out of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania on June 9th, 1980; very probable to be a different person, but my thoughts are that if it is the original CLC it might not have been possible to use a different name for medical reasons. Someone named Christina Lynn Carter graduated from Murphy High Sch...
