Like vampires risen from the dead,  Len Wawczak and his wife, Paula Stark Bolingbrook, IL--Len Wawczak , 45, and his wife, Paula Stark , 40, are a couple of deadbeats.  They were and still are desperate for cash.  They were involved court collection lawsuits and filed Bankruptcy just before retired Bolingbrook police sergeant, Drew Peterson was charged with murder.   When the Drew Peterson investigation went high profile the tabloids came to town and provided some short-term financial hope for this troubled pair.  They had known Peterson so they put themselves out for the media and police as spies.    This pair claimed they could get Peterson to implicate himself in criminal activity on tape.  Police wired this couple for months and despite numerous recorded conversations with Peterson they completely failed to trap the retired cop. They pair lied to various media organizations claiming that they had trapped Pete...

Chicago, IL —The subtle genius behind the name of the blog, Detective Shaved Longcock made it nearly impossible for the mainstream media to publicly talk about.   It’s the blog with an unrepeatable name that tactically made media criticism incredibly difficult.  For the last several years DSLC has been authored by an anonymous, faceless and alleged Chicago cop.  He’s a Chicago cop all right with loads of inside departmental information and a mindset that could only be shaped by working the mean streets of the Windy City. I’ve talked with DSLC but will never remove his mask or describe his current duty assignment.  I can say that I have sufficient information to report he’s not posting material while on duty.  DSLC is as edgy as any writer can be as he walks the tightrope between legitimate controversy and what our society deems unacceptable.  DSLC’s reasoning is more than for sheer sensationalism.   He’s desperately trying to...

Drew Peterson    Photo by Paul Huebl  Joliet, IL --Lawyers for Accused retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson rested their case today.  There’s no reason for Peterson to testify because everyone knows what he has to say.  He formally declined to do so.   Prosecutors get yet another bite ate the apple putting on their hired gun, expert witnesses to cancel out Peterson’s.   The defense will cross-examine but the tricky part will by for prosecutors not to punish the jury with the total duplication of their murder speculation. Throughout the day both sides will offer up jury instructions to the court.  The rub here is addressing the barrage of never before admitted hearsay evidence brought on by the new Drew Peterson Law.  The judge may have a few instructions of his own.  Next come the final arguments beginning with the prosecutor claiming they’ve proven their case, “beyond a reasonable doubt.”  That’...

Chicago, IL —Let me begin by saying I have put the BGA on the spot here.   I’ve asked them some tough questions about their investigation of Detective ShavedLongcock's Blog and they have at least responded.  I’m far from satisfied that I have gotten my questions answered but frankly I did not expect much.  BGA spokesman Robert Herguth informed CrimefileNews that their organization had concerns that a public employee may be using taxpayer’s time and resources to publish what they believe to be a racist blog.    In fairness let me agree here in that this is a legitimate question because personal blogging on government time would be an abuse of public money.  I specifically questioned who or what motivated their investigation of Detective ShavedLongcock and Herguth declined to provide that information.  Additionally I asked Herguth if he could cite any actual passage or two that suggested that African-Americans were inferior or dese...

Chicago, IL —Today, the popular Chicago police inspired blog, Detective ShavedLongcock has been taken down but for a somewhat convoluted report about alleged harassment by Chicago’s, Better Government Association .  I’m not sure why the BGA would care about an alleged Chicago cop’s Internet publishing that happens to be more than a little critical of Chicago’s corrupt and rapidly collapsing government.  Most of this blogger’s readers refer to him as “Shaved”.  Shaved writes biting messages that calls attention to the vastly disproportionate violence in Chicago committed by African-Americans.  Various local Chicago media operations have denounced Shaved and his blog as racist.   I have to ask, it somehow racist to call attention to and report, that African-Americans commit nearly all of Chicago’s violence?  One only has to go to the morning felony court call at 26 th & California and look at the nearly exclusively African-Amer...

Kelly and Amanda with their children      Chicago Tribune Photo Chicago, IL —Last Saturday evening, at one of Chicago’s most visible landmarks at the Daley Center Plaza a young Caucasian couple were enjoying the Picasso sculpture with their two tender-aged daughters.  Suddenly an African-America, ex-convict snatched two year-old, Myla Davis-Green by the arm claiming the little blond girl was his daughter.   Imagine the horror that 31 year-old, Kelly Davis and the girl’s mother Amanda Green , both unarmed experienced fighting for possession of their little toddler and her precious life? After the struggle the kidnapper, James Gates , 55 took off running through streets, alleys and building lobbies.  Davis bravely pursued Gates and finally with police assistance Gates was apprehended blocks away. I can’t imagine the results of the attack would have been if the couple became so frozen with fear that they let the abduction happen.  The m...

TSA Worker Chicago, IL — In my early adulthood going to a Bears game at Chicago’s Solider Field with girlfriends included a small bottle of brandy and a blanket.  The blanket was used to keep warm while concealing certain enjoyable other mischief during the game. Back then going to a major sporting event was a lot of fun.  However in recent decades sports teams and certain venues have begun an effort to frisk patrons.  I hate this despicable effort frankly we’ve fought wars so we’d never have to submit to this kind of crap.   The majority of patrons are too young and just don’t understand the serious implications of what they are willingly accepting. At first this was about bringing alcohol into the venue but quickly expanded looking for snacks and finally for concealed weapons.  Private security guards who avoided being too invasive or authoritarian did the searches.  Frankly it was more about revenue for their food servic...

Drew Peterson   Photo by Paul Huebl Joliet, IL —The prosecution in the murder trial of retired Bolingbrook, IL police sergeant Drew Peterson is taking its last gasp.  The Illinois Legislature put their foot on the scales of justice by enacting the, “Drew Peterson Hearsay Law.”   That allowed gossip rather than sworn direct testimony be used as evidence in this trial.  They still, have yet to make a case for murder. They put up two forensic experts that were convinced that Kathleen Savio was murdered based on their re-examination of remains that had been decaying in a grave for over three years.  They may be right but it’s only their best guess and speculation. Of course there is the original investigation and autopsy on fresh remains that were determined to be the result of an accidental death.  We can’t now guess that if the first group of investigators and experts did a better job what the results might have been.  It is what it...

New York, NY —Yesterday a man fired from his job exacted revenge on a fellow employee in front of the Empire State Building by shooting him dead with a .45 pistol.   The man fled and local construction workers reportedly directed cops to the armed offender on the crowded city street.  Police officers apparently felt threatened by the armed killer and opened fire upon him killing him.   In the process nine innocent bystanders suffered bullet wounds .  Today it was sadly determined that every bystander injured was shot by police bullets.  Only a small percentage of cops really like firearms and strive to become proficient with them.  Most cops are satisfied if they can simply get a minimum qualifying shooting score.   That being said are the standards for qualification set high enough? In my days as a cop in Chicago I was required to qualify four times per year on the range.   The department paid for the ammuniti...

Chicago, IL —Within hours 20 people were shot last night in the Windy City and it wasn’t even on the weekend.   The carnage is confined to Chicago’s African-American community that celebrates a culture of violence, drug abuse and general depravity.   Despite having the nation’s most onerous three-decade old total gun bans, shootings here are as prevalent as typical war zones.    50 ward bosses or Aldermen control Chicago.  The wards are relatively small geographic areas that elect their local strongman.  The problem is that in the high crime wards the elected Alderman are by default deeply entrenched in gangs, crime, drugs and general corruption.  That’s just the Chicago way. The 50-ward system worked a lot better before the massive and sudden migration of disenfranchised and poor Blacks from the South of the 1960s.  Horrible social engineering turned those migrants into a needy, ignorant and dependent population that were easi...

Waving goodbye to Barack Obama Washington, DC —Until now Janet Napolitano’s personal reputation was considered somewhat clean.  Yes, the rumors about her lesbian relationship with a subordinate under her in both Arizona and at Homeland Security were never exactly a secret.  I think we can all separate her suspected Gay sex life from those more important issues of integrity. The Obama Administration is fraught with scandal primarily in the areas of obstructing justice.   The law enforcement activities presided over by Napolitano was simply gutted when it comes to immigration enforcement, border protection and removal of dangerous criminal aliens.  Isn’t that what Homeland Security is all about? There’s an old saying, “if you lay down with dogs you will wake up with fleas.”  I imaging Napolitano is itching all over about now considering the mutts she’s been around. I guess taxpayers must get used to paying billions for our border cops and...

Lindsay Lohan in handcuffs     Court pool camera image Los Angeles, CA —The most meaningless police incidents can quickly elevate to crisis proportions.  That’s especially true for celebrities.  We’ve all seen damaging video of celebrity’s antics surrounding minor conflicts.  When such an event becomes national news it’s no longer insignificant.  When you become a celebrity your privacy can become all but non-existent.    Along with the big cash and perks comes the media magnifying glass.  Whatever you do pick your new friends carefully because all manner of danger can come from strangers with big smiles.   Drug dealers, extortionists and stalkers always seem to circle around celebrities like sharks. It never hurts to have a new friend or business associate quietly checked out by a reputable private investigator.   That can save you millions later.  When you hire bodyguards look for recently reti...

TSA Thug named Butler    From Video by Paul Huebl Washington, DC —Most Americans surrender, line up like sheep and allow the despicable practice of the TSA' s amateur security workers as they have their way with our personal property, bodies and even our children.  They abuse us tolerated simply because Americans are to intimidated to defend themselves. Despite hundred of billions of dollars and this illusion of security the TSA has not stopped a single terrorist event.  The known post 9/11 efforts to disrupt air travel have been stopped by alert passengers that understand their duty to protect each other.   The TSA is in itself a meaningless exercise of the absurd. Our government puts these poorly vetted, trained or educated unemployable losers in police style costumes with gold badges.  The reality is they should have put them into red jumpsuits and saved taxpayers a bundle rather than allow this officious masquerade.  Here are ...

St. Louis, MO —Last April the NRA held its Convention here.  More than 60,000 attendees came to see both the political side and the large gun show.   The NRA visits scattered locations throughout the nation every year. These conventions are never held in the gun-unfriendly states but in states where the attendees can carry loaded and concealed firearms.  The various convention centers must suspend any gun carry prohibitions they may have any in order to win the NRA’s business. Never less that 60,000 NRA people, most all of them well armed stay for about five or six days in these cities.  The crime rate never rises and there’s never been a known arrest of an attendee for violence.  You also never hear about the NRA attendees being robbed, raped or murdered.  The cowardly local criminals always lay low when the NRA is in town.  Across this nation there have been tens of thousands of gun shows and again nobody settles their arguments...

Drew Peterson   Photo by Paul Huebl Joliet, IL—Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow made a non-stop mess of his questionable effort to destroy Retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson .  He knows that while gossip and hate may be over the top, real evidence of murder and Peterson’s possible involvement is almost non-existent. At best it can be shown that Peterson was a lousy husband and that Kathleen Savio was on a campaign to grab the marital assets of her failed marriage. She was an angry and scorned woman. Savio had her emotional problems and was taking or in some cases not taking drugs prescribed to her to keep her under control. It's also reasonable to believe that Peterson said some ugly things about and to Savio.  Divorces seldom bring out the best behavior of those involved.  The biggest problem I have is calling Savio’s death a murder.   Aside from the original investigation and autopsy are the total lack of signs...

London, UK —This sad saga began when a non-mainstream journalist, Julian Assange obtained a huge amount of undeniable government records and simply published them.  They pertain to the conduct of governments we expect to he honorable, forthright and free.  Primarily the UK and the U.S. lied to their citizens and the world about the issues that led to two wars and thousands of American lives.  We all know that it’s our politicians that send our children off to fight their adventures.   Politicians must rely on public support and to gain that support time and time again through history they use lies and propaganda to achieve their means.   Politicians are serial liars by their very nature.  We all have the liars we prefer but we never demand they tell the truth.  A nation like Switzerland need not fear disclosure of their efforts because that nation is not ever involved with policing the world with their ideals.  Unfortunately the ...
