True Crime: Lisa Harnum
“Lisa’s loss to our family is devastating and the pain endless. Whether directly or indirectly, every one of us will be affected by some kind of violence, physical or mental, during our lifetime. Yet we tend to believe it will get better, ignore it, or turn away instead of facing it head on. The only way for it to diminish, for in truth it will never be eradicated, is for each and every one of us to take a stand and say STOP! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. STOP THE VIOLENCE. MAKE A DIFFERENCE! When we witness it, we must report it, or, if the situation safely allows, stop it. A few seconds can mean the difference between life and death. If we know someone who is violent, either in our families or an acquaintance or friend, we must intervene and get that person help before it causes the loss of a life. Please do not turn away for one day you, or a family member or friend, may need the Foundation. You always think it could not happen to you. That is what we thought and now we are without our beautiful Angel.”-A message from Lisa’s family

The Murders of Homer and Dee McClure
One could well imagine, driving down a country lane, perhaps in the middle of the night (but not necessarily so), coming upon an old tree at the bend of a country road. Perhaps the road cuts between two rusted fences, a farm field tall with grazing corn on either side. Perhaps there is a little, forgotten cemetery, gnarled and pitted and effaced headstones emerging like rotten teeth from the hardscrabble earth. Their faces may be worn until the inscriptions carved upon them can no longer be read. Who were they? The world no longer cares, stopped caring long ago.

Where the psycho killer came from
On a cold winter morning in early December, Ballard descended from the mountains onto frog Hill Highway with a pair of squirrels slung from his belt. He looked back at the bend in the road and saw a car standing there, its engine humming softly, blue smoke spiraling up into the cold morning light. Ballard crossed the road, dropped to his stomach in the grass, crawled through the trees, and came to the top of the bend in the pass. The car was still idling over there, and there was no one in sight.
