Cloudy with a Chance of Murder

On March 17, 1990, 14-year-old Rachel Hurley enjoyed a fun day of boating with friends in Jupiter, Florida, then went off on her own to meet her mother in the parking lot at Carlin Park. She never made it. A few hours later, Rachel's partially-clothed body was found in a wooded area at the park; she had been raped, beaten, and strangled. More than 120 men have been ruled out after having their DNA tested, but after nearly three decades, there have still been no arrests. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department has released a mini documentary about Rachel, which you can watch here to find out more about the case: Rachel was a kind, thoughtful girl who loved the beach and played softball, and her loved ones have not given up hope that her killer will be identified. It's been 29 years - it's time for Rachel's family to get answers. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office has physical evidence, but what they don't have is a name. If you know the name they...

The Riverman: Ted Bundy and I Hunt for the Green River Killer  is a 2004 book by Robert D. Keppel, Ph.D., with William J. Birnes.

I posted this on my paranormal blog ( Why would you want to be normal when you could be paranormal? ) a few months ago, but since it pertains to true crime, I thought I should share it here too. Rumor has it that the ghost of Ted Bundy haunts death row in the prison where he was put to death (as well as a few other places). That's one ghost I wouldn't want to run into, but he can't do as much damage as a spirit as he did while he was alive. I hope Bundy isn't still lingering around, but several people have claimed to see his ghost. Go away, Ted, no one wants you here! https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/shadow-boxing/201210/ted-bundys-ghost
