Just picked up a handwritten postcard written by YNW Melly, mentioning Lil Durk & Rod Wave.

YNW Melly, whose real name is Jamell Maurice Demons, is an American rapper and songwriter from Gifford, Florida. He gained widespread recognition with his breakthrough singles "Murder on My Mind" and "Mixed Personalities," as well as his debut album We All Shine (2018). Melly's music often blends elements of hip-hop, trap, and emo rap, characterized by melodic flows and dark themes of violence, mental health, and street life.

YNW Melly's career, however, has been marred by legal issues. In 2019, he was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of two of his friends, Christopher "YNW Juvy" Thomas and Anthony "YNW Sakchaser" Williams. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his legal proceedings have been ongoing. Despite the controversy, he has maintained a strong fan base and continues to be a notable figure in the rap scene.

The kidnapping of Polly Klaas occurred on October 1, 1993, in Petaluma, California. Polly, a 12-year-old girl, was abducted from her home during a sleepover at her house. The kidnapper, Richard Allen Davis, a convicted felon, broke into the home, tied up Polly's friends, and took her at knifepoint. After several days of extensive searching by law enforcement, volunteers, and the community, Polly's body was found on October 4, 1993, in a wooded area near her home.
Davis was arrested and later confessed to the crime. He had a history of violent offenses and was on parole at the time of the abduction. The case drew national attention and led to increased efforts for child safety, including the passage of "Polly's Law," which focused on increasing the penalties for crimes involving the kidnapping of minors. Davis was convicted of murder, kidnapping, and s*xual assault, and was sentenced to death. He remains on death row in California. The tragedy profoundly impacted the nation and highlighted issues around child abduction and criminal justice reform.

I just wrapped up an interview with convicted serial killer and necrophilie, Lorenzo Fayne. This has taken me over four years to complete, with the busy schedule of the prison phone system, not knowing when he can call, constant lockdowns, etc etc. This interview will be released between February and April 2025.

Lorenzo Fayne is an American serial killer and ra**st who, from 1989 to 1993, murdered one woman and five children in Wisconsin and Illinois. In 2001, he was convicted and sentenced to death. However, the following year, in light of multiple wrongful convictions in other cases, Illinois Governor George Ryan imposed a moratorium on capital punishment, commuting the sentences of all death row inmates to life imprisonment.

Coming this fall, an interview with executed serial killer William Bonin's co-defendant, Tina Munro.

Bill Bonin, Gregory Miley, Vernon Butts and James Munro are infamously remembered in California’s criminal history for their gruesome acts as serial killers in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bonin, known as the "Freeway Killer," was responsible for the murders of at least 14 young men and boys, whom he lured with offers of rides or assistance. His horrific methods included abduction, s*xual assault, and murder, with bodies often discarded along the state's freeways. The sheer brutality of Bonin's actions shocked communities and captured extensive media attention, revealing a dark side to everyday life.

James Munro played a more nuanced role in this chilling partnership, assisting in the murder of their last confirmed victim, Steven Wells. Their collaboration created a disturbing dynamic, amplifying the effectiveness of Bonin’s horrific methods. The duo's arrest in 1980 was a pivotal moment in California’s law enforcement efforts, prompting a more rigorous approach to tracking down serial offenders.

The aftermath of their crimes left deep scars on the families of victims and the surrounding communities. Bonin was ultimately convicted and sentenced to death, while Munro faced serious charges that highlighted the grotesque nature of their acts. Munro was convicted and sentenced to 15-life in prison. Their case ignited discussions about criminal psychology and the nature of evil, underscoring the need for vigilance and community awareness in combating such violence. The legacy of Bonin and Munro serves as a stark reminder of the unsettling realities that can lurk beneath the surface of society.

Mayfield Files: the murder of Jessica currin. There are a total of 17 videos to play, an additional 2-4 will be uploaded in the next week or so. Please share as much as you can! The wrongful convictions of Jeffery Burton, Chante Caldwell & Quincy Cross need to be talked about more, Quincy needs to come home to his family, for good.

On April 8, 2008, Quincy Omar Cross was convicted in Hickman County, Kentucky, of multiple serious charges including kidnapping (with an aggravator of murder), intentional murder (with aggravators of first-degree so**my and first-degree r**e), first-degree so**my, first-degree r**e, abuse of a co**se, and tampering with physical evidence. For these offenses, Quincy was sentenced to life imprisonment without the benefit of probation or parole for capital kidnapping and capital murder. He also received life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for first-degree r**e, fifty years for first-degree so**my, five years for abuse of a co**se, and three years for tampering with physical evidence.

The victim, 18-year-old Jessica Currin, was murdered sometime between July 29, 2000, and August 1, 2000. On the morning of August 1, Jessica’s body was discovered behind Mayfield Middle School in Mayfield, Kentucky. Dr. Mark LeVaughn, the medical examiner, initially determined that Jessica had died from strangulation and blunt head trauma. However, under cross-examination, Dr. LeVaughn admitted there was no evidence of strangulation, bruising, scratching, or s*xual assault. He based his initial conclusion on the presence of a belt found near Jessica’s body. A subsequent autopsy by Dr. George Nichols could not determine the cause of Jessica's death, leaving the circumstances of her death unresolved.

In February 2001, Jeremy Adams and Carlos Saxton were charged with murder and related offenses in connection with Jessica Currin’s case. However, by February 2003, these charges were dismissed due to discovery violations and missing evidence, which never reappeared during Quincy’s trial.

Three witnesses—Victoria Caldwell, Vanisha Stubblefield, and Rosie Crice—testified against Quincy and his co-defendants. Victoria and Vanisha had initially identified Jeremy Adams and Carlos Saxton as the perpetrators shortly after Jessica’s body was found. However, their testimonies changed significantly over time, influenced by Susan Galbreath (a self-appointed investigator), the Mayfield Police Department, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky Bureau of Investigation. Their stories varied with each interview and when they testified in 2008. Rosie Crice, who had been coerced by law enforcement into providing false testimony, later recanted her statements in 2008 and was subsequently charged with perjury, serving five years in prison.

Since the 2008 trial, all three witnesses have recanted their testimonies, stating that they lied and that Quincy Cross was not involved in the murder. Two of the girls have signed affidavits claiming they were paid for their testimonies and threatened by KBI Investigators. Quincy had two co-defendants, Tamara Caldwell and Jeffrey Burton. Quincy met Tamara in 2002 while he was in jail, through her brother, but did not know her at the time of the murder. He had only seen Jeffrey Burton once, at his trial, and had no prior acquaintance with him.

Joe Currin, Jessica’s father, maintains that Quincy is innocent of his daughter’s murder and is committed to uncovering the truth about what happened.
