A blast from the past

I found, via Twitter, this video from 1950, about techniques the police used to find MPs back then. It’s kind of interesting and I thought I’d share it with y’all.

Back in business at last

Got an update in. I didn’t do it yesterday (or even write a Select It Sunday entry) because, well, I didn’t feel like it, and it was Labor Day Weekend, so I figured that gave me an excuse to be lazy.

I’m glad to finally get some info on the Justin Richardson disappearance, even if his case is still as mysterious as ever.

Feeling much better, btw. Eating, and no stomach problems of any kind.

Make-a-List Monday: Twins

Twins — those who disappeared together, and also those where only one has gone missing. I doubt I got all of them, especially for those in the latter category, but here goes. Oh, and for the “unnamed twin” thing, in several incidents I actually know, or could find out, the name of the twin sibling, I just mean they are not named in the casefile.

(Yes, I realize I did a list like this before, but it was a long time ago and stuff has changed. Think of this as the revised and expanded edition.)
