UCLA Coed Murdered, an Incredibly sad Update

Los Angeles, CA--The 19000 block of Roebling Avenue is inhabited by hundreds of young role models of society. They are the best and brightest that are selected to attend prestigious UCLA.

The sprawling UCLA campus and surrounding area is well protected by both the UCLA Police and the LAPD. The neighborhood for the most is a safe place for these kids.

In Westwood tonight there is one less special undergraduate senior and her name is Andréa “Andy” DelVesco. She was a member of the pi Beta Phi Sorority and worked at the on Campus Jamba Juice franchise.

This young and attractive Austin, Texas native had been studying Spanish and psychology at this renowned university.

This morning many of her young friends were huddled together just outside the yellow police crime scene tape in tears after learning about this unspeakable crime.

I can’t imagine what horror and emotional trauma Andrea’s parents are experiencing tonight.

L.A.’s best homicide and arson investigators are working non-stop to identify Andrea’s killer and remove him/her from our streets.

Not only did Andrea’s killer commit one murder this damn near took numerous other lives that occupied the building.

Murderers that commit arson think that the fire will cover the crime and evidence. That’s just not the case. DNA and fingerprints can survive all but a fully consumed inferno. The fireman were able to extinguish the fire within ten minutes of their arrival.

If there is good news here it’s that these type of crimes are usually solved. I’m confidant that this one will be solved quickly too.

There’s at least one thing that these kids need to reevaluate, and that’s their personal security. The kids are quick to let strangers into their building’s common areas out of a mistaken sense of courtesy. These wonderful kids learned just how fragile their lives are, meaning they are not invincible.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

Tyranny, Government Corruption and Democide

Americans like to think they are exceptional. Yet most couldn’t tell you the first thing about how governments, like clockwork, repeat the same bloody cycles of tyranny and collapse. Everyone assumes the Nazis hold the crown for worst government in history. Sure, Hitler’s crew were sadistic thugs who industrialized murder. But “the worst”? Not even close. They just happened to do their killing during a time when cameras, film, and bureaucratic obsession with record-keeping made their atrocities impossible to hide. If Goebbels had been working with the technology of Genghis Khan, you’d barely have a postcard left to prove it. History is littered with tyrants who weren’t so kind as to leave photo albums of their mass murders. The Turks tried to erase the Armenians. Stalin starved Ukraine into submission during the Holodomor, then doubled down by purging his own people until the bodies stacked higher than Lenin’s promises. Mao made Stalin look like an amateur, turning his “Great Leap F...
