Declan Crouch, 13-year-old boy missing from Australia, simply disappears without a trace
Declan Crouch, 13-year-old boy missing from Australia, simply disappears without a trace
Declan Crouch, a 13-year-old boy from Machans Beach, in Queensland, Australia, has apparently disappeared without a trace. According to reports, the Year 8 student has been missing since March 9, 2011. He was last seen getting on a school bus at approximately 3:00 pm, local time but never returned home.
Authorities are concerned as no one, not even the teen’s friends and Facebook buddies, have heard from him. It appears that Declan Crouch did not runaway, but may have met with foul play. Authorities also say that Declan did not take anything with him; such as clothing, money or food. Though reports suggest he may have been upset with family members regarding a personal matter, the lack of communication has caused alarm.
It is possible that Declan Crouch ran away from home without taking anything and is currently harbored by friends. If that is the case, those harboring Declan are encouraged to contact authorities and assure them that Declan is safe.
Declan Crouch is described at 170 cm (5’6”); has brown hair and brown eyes (though his hair may be dyed with a purple tint); and is of slim build. If you have any information regarding Declan Crouch’s whereabouts you are asked to contact 1-800-333-000 or 4030 7000.
A Facebook Page has been started in hope of finding Declan Crouch. You may access it here.

Casey Anthony defense expert disagrees with Dr. G on duct tape, autopsy report
Casey Anthony defense expert disagrees with Dr. G on duct tape, autopsy report
In a surprise move by Casey Anthony’s defense, an expert has challenged the findings of Orange County Medical Examiner Jan C. Garavaglia, also known as Dr. G, she also hosts the Discovery Health program Dr. G. Medical Examiner. On December 19, 2008, Dr. G held a press conference, live from Orlando, Florida, confirming the remains of Caylee Anthony had been found. Through additional forensic analysis and tests she concluded that Caylee Anthony’s skeletonized remains had deteriorated to the point that an exact cause of death could not be determined and in her final autopsy report she stated duct tape had been placed on Caylee Anthony’s mandible, indicating that Caylee had duct tape placed over her mouth and nose.
The official autopsy was conducted from December 11, 2008 until December 23, 2008. Dr. G stated in the original autopsy report under findings, “Several overlapping pieces of duct tape, over the anterior portion of the lower skull, including mandible and a portion of the maxilla.” Under the statement, two notes were indicated stating, “Duct tape still attached to scalp hairs,” and “Mandible still in approximate anatomic position with no visible attached soft tissue beneath the duct tape.”
The report findings were picked up by media worldwide and added to the sensationalism of the crime. Did Casey Anthony wrap duct tape around Caylee’s mouth and nose. Continuing with the report, Dr. G concluded, “Although there is no trauma evident on the skeleton, there is duct tape over the lower facial region still attached to the head hair. This duct tape was clearly placed prior to decomposition, keeping the mandible in place.” These findings were directly challenged by M.D. Werner U. Spitz of Forensic Pathology and Toxicology in Michigan.
Dr. Werner wrote a letter to Casey Anthony’s lead defense attorney, Jose Baez (read the letter below Caylee Anthony’s autopsy report in the video player below) that states Dr. Spitz performed a second autopsy on Caylee’s remains on December 23, 2008 and December 24, 2008. Dr. Spitz writes that he read the first autopsy report by Dr. G, and disagreed with her findings, specifically stating that there was no DNA evidence from Caylee Anthony present on the duct tape. He also questioned whether the duct tape had been placed on Caylee’s skull, keeping the mandible in place as indicated in Dr. G’s autopsy report.
Dr. Spitz wrote, “Review of the report of autopsy performed by the Chief Medical Examiner of District Nine, Orlando, Florida and photos all indicate that duct tape was adherent to the hair and not the mandible, therefore if the skull was once lying on its left side, as clearly evidenced by the location of the sediment, it is highly unlikely that both the skull and the mandible, which would have been disarticulated during decomposition, would roll back to an almost perfect anatomical position.
Dr. Werner specifically stated that Dr. G’s following conclusions were flawed and explained why he believes so. He wrote in the letter, “Because of the above mentioned findings, this calls into question the statement made by Dr. Garavagila that, ‘Although there is no trauma evident on the skeleton, there is duct tape over the lower facial region still attached to head hair. This duct tape was clearly placed prior to decomposition, keeping the mandible in place.’ This statement is flawed for the following reasons:
a. The evidence found at 2nd autopsy as described above
b. The DNA results of the duct tape yielded no DNA from the deceased
c. The lack of entomological evidence found on the duct tape is also inconsistent with the duct tape being placed over any orifice that would have attached to the duct tape during decomposition (skin would be expected to adhere to the duct tape).
The last finding by Dr. Spitz may prove to be crucial in trial. Dr. Spitz is stating that if duct tape was placed on Caylee Anthony’s body before decomposition, skin (as well as DNA evidence) would be present on the tape. Both agree it is not.
There is great possibility that Casey Anthony’s May 4, 2011 trial may see heavy focus placed on the duct tape. If the defense can prove that Casey Anthony did not wrap duct tape around Caylee’s face, nose and mouth; there may be reasonable doubt in the juror’s minds that Casey intentionally murdered Caylee, therefore lessening the chance of the death penalty.
Will the state prove the duct tape came from the Anthony home? Will the duct tape prove to have been placed on Caylee Anthony’s body as part of the murder or was it part of the debris lying on the ground, possibly moved by wind, floods and animals? How will the defense explain the duct tape attached to Caylee Anthony’s hair? How important is the duct tape to the state’s case? These questions will be answered during Casey’s trial; but there is no doubt that the defense has challenged the state’s theory of events that transpired with Dr. Spitz’ findings.

Amber Alerts cases: Sebastian Mosqueda, Sierra Criss, Elizabeth, Gabriel Johnson
Amber Alerts cases: Sebastian Mosqueda, Sierra Criss, Elizabeth, Gabriel Johnson
Here are today’s updates on several recent missing children cases and Amber Alerts. An 8-month-old boy, Sebastian Mosqueda, and his 18-year-old mother, Monserrat Caracoza, were located safe on March 8, 2011 in Poplar, California. An investigation is underway but early reports state that Sebastian’s father, Pedro Mosquesa, 23, has been taken into custody for the kidnapping. Neither mother nor son were harmed.
A 19-month-old girl, Sierra Criss, who had been reported missing from a Colorado Springs hospital was later found safe. The exact nature of the case is under question but early reports suggest that Sierra’s father, Gary Criss, took his daughter out of the hospital without notifying the hospital staff, setting off a missing child alert. Reports by KKTV suggest that Gary Criss is Sierra’s custodial parent, but was arrested and released for taking his daughter from the hospital.
The mother of missing Gabriel Johnson, Elizabeth Johnson, continues to stall the case by refusing to show up for court. My Fox Phoenix reports that Elizabeth skipped a hearing this morning.
Who knew that inmates could decide whether or not they wanted to go to court?
Give me a break.
Judge Paul McMurdie told Elizabeth Johnson’s attorneys that next time he will send a deputy to remove her from her jail cell. This is one of several court appearances that Johnson has missed.

Casey Anthony hearing March 2, 2011: Yuri Melich, Casey Anthony cries, Miranda rights (videos, photos)
Casey Anthony hearing March 2, 2011: Yuri Melich, Casey Anthony cries, Miranda rights (videos, photos)
On March 2, 2011, Casey Anthony returned to court for what may be the most invaluable aspect of her trial. 
Over the course of four days, Casey’s attorneys would defend their motions before Judge Perry trying to determine what will and won’t be allowed in the May 4th trial. On March 2, 2011, Cindy Anthony, George Anthony and Lee Anthony arrived at the Orange County courthouse along with detectives from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. The detectives would provide crucial testimony in the first moments that Caylee Anthony, then two-years-old, had been reported missing.First to be debated before Judge Perry was the debate over statements made by an employee of the Orange County Jail. Detective Yuri Melich delivered testimony about his encounter as a first responder to the Anthony house in Orlando. WFTV provides the best video coverage of the Casey Anthony hearing and will more than likely lead the way during Casey’s May 4, 2011 trial. They do not provide embedded videos but you can click the link and view Casey’s hearings in full at their website. Here are links to Yuri Melich’s testimony delivered on March 2, 2011. Yuri Melich testimony: Pt. 1 Of 4 | Pt. 2 | Pt. 3 | Pt. 4 In fact, the videos are crisp and clear as WFTV now uses a satellite feed for live streaming as well. I highly recommend watching WFTV for live coverage during Casey Anthony’s Florida trial.
Following Yuri Melich’s testimony was Cindy Anthony, Casey Anthony’s mother. When Cindy Anthony took the stand, Casey Anthony began crying. Casey is continually under a microscope, especially when it comes to her emotions. This is most in due to media coverage she attained during the early weeks and months of Caylee’s reported disappearance as she never showed public emotion about Caylee’s disappearance. The public never once saw Casey Anthony shed tears over her lost, missing daughter and it is mostly out of public curiosity to discover what makes Casey Anthony cry. Anyway, Casey was crying when Cindy Anthony took the stand.
You may see video from Cindy Anthony’s testimony here: WFTV: Cindy Anthony testifies March 2, 2011 Part 1 of 3 | Part 2 | Part 3
Cindy looked as if she’s gained 40 or so pounds since her granddaughter disappeared and there is no doubt this process is extremely tiring and troubling for George, Cindy and Lee. Cindy described Casey’s original 
arrest in July 2008, and was cross examined by Assistant State Attorney Linda Drane Burdick. It doesn’t appear the prosecution will have any difficulty showing Casey Anthony as a dishonest girl as she has already been convicted for check fraud. Cindy Anthony was asked about the times Casey Anthony stole money from her.

It doesn’t appear the prosecution will have any difficulty showing Casey Anthony as a dishonest girl as she has already been convicted for check fraud. Cindy Anthony was asked about the times Casey Anthony stole money from her.
When Cindy was questioned by Cheney Mason regarding calling the police in July she answered, “Our goal was to find Caylee.” That may be a pitiful attempt by Mason to make it appear that Cindy wasn’t as concerned with Casey’s stealing but it will doubtfully impress the jury as Casey is already convicted of stealing from Amy Huizenga.It was a long day in court and following Cindy Anthony, Casey Anthony’s father, George Anthony took the stand: WFTV Part 1 of 2 | Part 2
Jose Baez questioned George. George was very emotional.
After George testified Ryan Erberlin, an Orange County deputy took the stand. He had spoken with Lee Anthony, Casey Anthony’s brother the night Caylee was reported missing. One of the most crucial developments made by Ryan Eberlin is that he did not read Casey Anthony her Miranda Rights. This is due to the fact that when police arrived at the scene they weren’t investigating Casey as a suspect in a murder 
case but rather investigating Caylee’s disappearance. This may prove crucial in trial and it is unclear how far this development could be used in the defense’s favor.Continued…
