Larry McNabney was slowly disappearing from his law firm for several months leading up to the day he actually disappeared.

Daniel Sorenson | Two Stories, One Verdict
In this week’s case, we have two stories of what happened, and the old adage that the truth lies somewhere in the middle falls short when these two stories don’t have any middle ground.

Marjorie Nugest | Beyond "Bernie" Tiede
When a filmmaker took a real crime case and turned it into a dark comedy, the victim’s family called it a successful blame-the-victim campaign after they portrayed the killer as an affable man and the victim as a mean old lady. As usual the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. This case is *solved* A huge THANK YOU to this month’s sponsors: Start your detective work today at Newspapers.com!

Christina Morris | A Choice of Charges
Christina Morris went out for a night with friends but never came home.
