Who killed Sarah Mumford? 120 years after her death, the question still captivates Pendleton, New York residents.On June 8, 1899, a wealthy farmer reported his sixteen-year-old adopted daughter missing. The following morning, a farmhand discovers Sarah Mumford's lifeless and mangled body on the train tracks. The coroner launches an inquest that keeps the small town on edge. When the medical examiner reveals that Sarah died before the train hit her, the investigation takes a sinister turn. Journalists far and near clamor to chronicle every strange twist and turn. Neighbors come forward with dark stories about the prominent family. Rumors persist that Sarah was pregnant. Questions surface about her identity and role in the household. The coroner's inquest reveals seven different suspects. But the summer of 1899 ends with the mystery unsolved and justice unserved. Over a century later, historians and amateur sleuths still search for clues. On a quest for answers to her family's history, author Michelle Graff reexamines the evidence and offers new insights, dark revelations, and a compelling theory.Hidden engages true crime fans with two narratives woven together on the same timeline. One follows the original investigation in a nonfiction account that allows readers to discover clues and develop theories. The other is told from the perspective of the author's great-grandmother, whose real-life story parallels Sarah's. The two narratives crisscross in surprising ways while exposing broader issues still relevant today.

Alison was a vulnerable mentally ill young woman groomed and taken advantage of by an older male nurse. She became pregnant and a crisis abortion was arranged by staff at the NHS mental health hospital where she was a patient. The details of what happened were hidden and Alison emerged from the care of the NHS more damaged than when she had been admitted. She took her life on what would have been her aborted child's third birthday. Though the names are known, no one has ever been held accountable for the crimes committed against her. In a quest for truth, accountability, and justice that has stretched over three decades, Alison's family has been misled, lied to, and failed by the NHS, the Police, and the Crown Prosecution Service. This true at times barely believable story is one of ordinary people showing extraordinary determination and courage. It is an unconventional honest and deeply personal attempt to bring what has been hidden into the light for all to see. It is a story of the abuse of power, the hiding of wrongdoing, and a fight for the truth that is not yet over. "Insightful, compelling and disturbing." - John Seddon. "A very valuable reminder that, at its worst, and even with the best of intent to begin with, our experience of a really bad bureaucracy can be no different from tyranny." - Rory Sutherland. "Alison's death raises very important questions about safeguarding and the exploitation of vulnerable people who are in receipt of mental health services. The ongoing struggle her family have experienced in accessing truth and justice is one faced by too many bereaved people in the UK to this day. This book is an important reflection on that struggle, and on the defensiveness of public services who failed Alison when she needed them most." - Deborah Coles, Executive Director, INQUEST.

Le détective québecquois Devrinne se tordait de douleur. Il avait échappé de peu à une tentative d'assassinat pendant son enquête sur les expériences sur des sdf mais ses lombaires en avaient pris un coup. Gilles, qui l'avait aidé dans son enquête, était accusé du meurtre de Madame Sonntag pour lui voler ses économies. Comment le détective pourrait-il l'aider depuis son lit dans la clinique où il venait d'être opéré. Jean, le fils de la victime, pérorait sur le Boléro de Ravel que les critiques de l'époque disaient être diabolique. Ravel l'avait écrit au moment de l'arrivée au pouvoir de Mussolini et Jean affirmait que c'était un message prémonitoire contre la guerre, répondant en écho au Sacre du Printemps de Stravinsky qui avait essayé de s'opposer au mouvement militariste ultranationaliste aboutissant à la guerre de 1914. Ce jeune homme semblait aussi faire des recherches pour produire des biocarburants avec des variétés poussant dans le désert, stabilisant les dunes et non consommables afin de limiter un accroissement démographique.

Stacy was shot in the face - twice - and left to die. The first time the killer thought he had succeeded, and he left 15-year-old Stacy bleeding in her bed. But a few minutes later he must have heard her moaning and returned to her upstairs bedroom. This time he approached the bed, pointed a .22 caliber rifle at her young face, and pulled the trigger again. Later that morning, Memorial Day, May 25, 2005, the Logan County Sheriff would declare it a rampage. According to Sheriff Henry, the night before his high school graduation 18-year-old Scott Moody went on a shooting spree. He murdered his two grandparents, his mother, a high school classmate, his girlfriend, and then he turned the rifle on himself, committing suicide. Stacy would survive. Three days later, she woke up in intensive care. When asked by the county coroner to explain what happened - clearly expecting her to say that her brother, Scott, had shot her - Stacy, in a weak, distressed voice said something else. It was an older man with gray hair, wearing a blue shirt, someone she had never seen before. It was only a matter of time before wrongful death actions were filed against Scott's estate. That's when Scott's father, wanting to remove the stigma that his son was the shooter, hired outside experts to successfully refute the idea. People in the community knew all along what had happened. The sheriff's office was corrupt. Underage sex and illicit drugs had finally raised their ugly heads.
