Regional Murder Mysteries

I guess he told a pretty convincing story to the police. But then again I saw a recent interview of his with Aphrodite Jones and it takes about 5 seconds to realize the guy is a complete nutjob.

There was an exceptional amount of blood in both cases. I don't see how any reasonable person could think that it came from a short fall down household stairs.

I don't know how the guy got away with the first one. There was a lot of blood as I recall. I fell down a full flight of stairs when I was a kid and there wasn't even a scratch on me.

You're welcome. Nice to chat with you about it

Thanks Jordan. Yes, I believe his trial was featured on Court TV.

Hi Jordan:

Wasn't he suspected of killing another woman the same way several years earlier?

Hey, Thanks for your reply I appreciate it.
Yes, there was a period where Peterson lived in Germany (in the 1980's I believe) and a woman he knew was found dead in the same way that his wife was in 2001. This evidence was introduced at his trial. I live in Durham and my parents are friends with the man who was lead prosecutor in this case former District Attorney (now Judge) Jim Hardin. Hes a really nice guy. The most bizarre part of this whole thing is that his neighbor actually believes a wild owl killed her. And no I'm not kidding.

We have a regional murder mystery where I'm from in NC. Michael Peterson who allegedly pushed his wife down a flight of stairs. I say allegedly because we all know the owl really did it

Thanks Ruby-Yes and that group is even globally known unlike the ones in my area.

I'm from Brighton, England, originally; we seem to have a tradition of 'Trunk Murders' there en.wikipedia.org/.../Brighton_trunk_murders

1941 - The Blue Moon Hotel in Coney Island, Brooklyn. A day before he was
to give testimony against the leaders of "Murder Inc.", Abe "Kid Twist" Reles fell out of a twelve story window from the hotel. The police guard said he tried to flee (and there were a few pitiful tied up bed sheets from the window. Most people have assumed differently. Reles, who had been singing against his old associates to save his carcass, is recalled as "the canary who could sing but could not fly!"

I see where gangster son Bobby Spillane just "fell" from a sixth floor window yesterday.

I see that Pensoneau is now on a book tour with his Harris work.

His book about Charles "Blackie" Harris is entitled Dapper & Deadly.

Heard lately from Taylor Pensoneau, who wrote the good book Brothers Notorious a few years back about the Shelton brothers. He's about to publish a biography of Charlie Harris that might shed some more light here.

I can't list them all but there are several books about the Shelton Brothers.

Thanks Belinda. What was the inquiry finding in that case?
