crime prime time
There is some noise that In Cold Blog, a true crime blog founded by best selling author Corey Mitchell, is expanding it's well established presence on the airwaves. It's contributors are award winning journalists and writers the likes of Stephen Singular, author of Presumed Guilty - An Investigation into the Jon Benet Ramsey Case, the Media, and the Culture of Pornography
Here's one of the In Cold Blog weekly television show promo's--
Interesting article by Katherine Ramsland, Ph.D over at In Cold Blog about vampires. Vampires and psychopaths, that is.
I am posting this for a couple reasons. First for a few genuinely nice and kind and innocent ladies I know that once were almost consumed by a vampire; their goodness and smarts prevailed.
Second because JonBenet's killer is still out there, like the vampire metaphor, we just can't see him--
"Recently, a network reporter asked me about members of the vampire subculture and we looked up and down the street “to see if any vampires were nearby.” I had to smile. For all we knew, it was the camera guy or the young woman keeping notes. Maybe it was the reporter. It’s not as if there’s a clear signal, like picking a mime out of a crowd, but many people believe there is. I’m often asked if I can spot a vampire. Likewise, I’m often asked if I can spot a psychopath...
They go to great lengths to mimic normal relationships before they make their move. Then when they take everything and leave, we’re left in a daze, depleted and wondering what happened. How did we not see who they were? How could they so easily have duped us?..
So, the answer is, yes, you can spot a vampire or a psychopath –at least, the ones who want to be noticed--but they won’t be successful predators like the ones who remain in the shadows. Often, they’re closer than you think."
Dr. Katherine Ramsland has a MA in forensic psychology from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, a master's degree in clinical psychology, and a Ph.D. in philosophy.
Nosferatu (1922) Originally released in 1922 as "Nosferatu, EineSymphonie Des Grauens" (Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror), director F.W. Munarau's chilling and eerie adaption of Stoker's Dracula is a silent masterpiece of terror which to this day is the most striking and frightening portrayal of the legend.
"Last month I did a piece on Boulder’s JonBenet Ramsey murder case, which got a far bigger and more heated response than anything else I’ve written for In Cold Blog. Some readers agreed with what I said, but others vehemently did not; armchair experts from coast to coast e-mailed to tell me how foolish and misguided I was in actually believing that the case remained unsolved -- they’d figured it out years ago. I was surprised by the passions the 12-year-old murder still stirs among those interested in true crime...
As for my not solving the case yet when so many others have, it might be good to remember one thing: This is the only known murder in human history in which a body and a ransom note were found in the same location. There are reasons for this odd fact that we’re still uncovering -- reasons that don’t make it a simple crime. Unless the only person you have to convince that you’ve cracked it is yourself."
