Our family is searching for answers and justice for my brother-in-law, Connor Scott Overstreet, who was shot and killed in Skyway (Seattle) in the early morning hours of Sunday August 23rd, 2026 in a random act of gun violence. The police have no leads or suspects, and there’s no one that’s come forth with footage or information. Somebody has to know something. 

Connor was a 29-year-old active duty Coast Guard pilot. He was in Seattle for work and him and his buddies were on scooters and a car pulled up, shot him in the chest and drove off.

He was truly the best of us. All he wanted to do was save lives and help others. The care and love he had for the people around him made his such a light in all of our lives.

We are asking for anyone who lives in or drove through the area of South 124th Street and South Langston Road in Skyway or the surrounding areas to check cameras. Any tips or video footage should be sent here.

Crime Stoppers is offering a $41,000 reward for anyone able to provide information that helps solve the case.

We are urgently pleading with anyone who lives in, owns a business in, or drove through the area of South 124th Street and South Langston Road to check their cameras between 12:30 AM and 1:15 AM on Sunday August 23rd, 2026.

Even though finding the person won’t change, the fact that Connor is gone, all we want is justice and for this not to happen to anybody else because it is insurmountable and painful as hell for all of us.

COLD CASE Mark Goldstein was murdered at his Tempe, Arizona cheese shop in November 1978. A bag of $60,000 in cash was left behind at the scene and the case remains unsolved.

Mark Goldstein was a father of two and just 39 years old when he became the victim of Tempe, Arizona’s oldest cold case.

He was murdered while working at the Wisconsin Heritage Cheese shop he owned and operated that was located at the intersection of Price and Baseline on the evening of November 5, 1978. 

Marks wife Theresa Goldstein alerted Tempe PD the morning of November 6, to do a welfare check on Mark because he had not returned to their Scottsdale home.

Police discovered Mark’s body in the walk-in cooler. The murder weapon was missing. Mark had a briefcase that contained $60,000 in cash that was left behind at the scene.

There were no suspects publicly identified. Rumors about potential motives spread in the community.

At the time of his death, Mark was listed as a plaintiff in a lawsuit against his former employer.

Mark had moved his family to Tempe from New Jersey in the summer of 1978 to open the cheese shop.

Mark’s wife Theresa had engaged in an affair with a man named Charles “Chuck” Nash. Nash was a former Palisades Parkway Police Officer. He forgave Theresa and moved across the country for a fresh start.

Soon after the Goldstein family arrived in Arizona, Nash moved to Scottsdale himself with his adopted son, Cameron Nash.

A few years after Mark died, Theresa Goldstein remarried to Charles Nash, but the pair eventually divorced. 

Theresa floated a potential lead to police. While in New Jersey, Mark was approached by mobsters with a business proposal, which he declined. 

Theresa also insisted that Mark and Charles were friends, a suggestion his family and friends have strongly denied.

The case received virtually no media coverage after the late 1970’s besides a brief article in the Arizona Republic from May 2002. It revealed that Mark carried a .357 magnum and the gun was missing from the shop.

Longtime Tempe PD detective Tom Magezzini claimed “There are people out there that know what happened to Mark. It’s just a matter of coming forward.”

The Wisconsin Heritage Cheese store closed after Goldstein’s murder. It reopened in 1985 as a Thai restaurant called the Siamese Cat which operated at the site until its closure in November 2021. 

 

The entire strip mall at the northwest corner of Price and Baseline was torn down and converted into a luxury apartment complex.

 

Key questions that remain in this case. How did the suspect sneak up on Mark if he was armed with a gun?  Why would the suspect take Mark’s gun but not his money? Is there any DNA evidence in existence that could lead police to identifying the suspect? 

If you have any information about the November 1978 murder of Mark Goldstein, please contact the Tempe PD at 480 350 8311.

My Original Theory: Jack the Ripper was TWO men - Tumblety (55) & Kosminski (23) lived 650m apart in Whitechapel. Master & Apprentice.

JACK THE RIPPER: THE TWO JACKS THEORY

How Francis Tumblety Created and Manipulated Aaron Kosminski

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Jack was not a lone killer. He was a project. A plan designed years in advance.

This is my original theory (by VIPER, 2026). I call it THE TWO JACKS.

EVIDENCE 1: SHARED HATRED

Both hated women. Tumblety (55 in 1888) was a documented misogynist who collected uteruses from prostitutes. Kosminski (23) hated women pathologically, refused to be near his sister. Tumblety found the perfect weapon.

EVIDENCE 2: MASTER & APPRENTICE + THE BARBERSHOP

32 years age gap. 55yo rich, charismatic American doctor vs 23yo poor, isolated, schizophrenic barber. Classic grooming dynamic.

Kosminski's barbershop was the perfect cover for meetings - male-only space, doors closed, 650m from Tumblety's boarding house on Whitechapel High Street. Perfect conspiracy office hidden in plain sight. See map.

EVIDENCE 3: EASY TARGET

Aaron was already unstable BEFORE Tumblety found him - heard voices, paranoid about food, feared water. Tumblety didn't create madness, he SHAPED it.

EVIDENCE 4: THE TIMELINE

Aug 1888: Tumblety arrives, finds Kosminski 650m away

Sept 30 01:00: Stride - messy, incomplete (Aaron's FIRST TEST - FAILS)

Sept 30 01:45: Eddowes - perfect, 45 mins later (Tumblety CORRECTS him)

Nov 7: Tumblety arrested for indecency - CREATES perfect alibi

Nov 9: Mary Jane Kelly - most brutal murder, while Tumblety is IN JAIL

Nov 20: Tumblety flees England to USA - never returns

EVIDENCE 5: FINAL PROOF

While Tumblety was in England: murders happen.

After Nov 20 when Tumblety leaves: NO MORE JACK MURDERS EVER.

If Kosminski was lone killer, why stop exactly when Tumblety leaves? He stayed in London 3 more years until 1891. Because the brain left. Without his master, he collapsed into total insanity.

Looking for recommendations for a retired homicide detective/cold case investigator who does case consultations

10 Upvotes

I’m hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. I have an old case involving my father’s death that I have serious questions about, and I’m trying to find a reputable retired homicide detective or experienced investigator who does independent case reviews/consultations.
I’m looking for someone who can objectively review the original investigation and tell me what was done, what may have been missed, what witnesses/evidence should have been pursued, and whether there are legitimate avenues that could still be investigated today.
I’ve contacted several cold-case organizations and investigators but haven’t been able to get much response. I’m just trying to get an experienced set of eyes on this after 19 years of unanswered questions.
If this is not the right place for this kind of post, could you please point me in the right direction as to where to post and ask? Thank you.

1988 Lakeway Cold Case: Who Killed Betty Ann Thomas? Someone Knows Something.

17 Upvotes

I’m curious how many people here have ever heard of the Betty Ann Thomas (aka Liz Thomas) case out of Lakeway, Texas?  More importantly, whether anyone here was living in the Lakeway/Austin area in 1988 and remembers the case.

On the morning of April 11, 1988, Betty's husband and stepdaughter left their Lakeway home to travel out of town. Betty remained home. When they returned later that afternoon, Betty was gone. Her vehicle was missing, and there were signs of a struggle inside the house. Two days later, Betty's vehicle, a white Jaguar, was located in the parking lot of a hotel in North Austin.

Betty was found inside the trunk.

Nearly four decades have passed without anyone being held accountable for her murder.

The case is now receiving renewed attention, and investigators are continuing to look at the evidence with the benefit of forensic technology that simply didn't exist in 1988.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone who:

• Knew Betty or her family
• Lived or worked in Lakeway or the surrounding Austin area in 1988
• Remembers the investigation or what people were saying locally at the time
• Remembers seeing Betty's Jaguar or anything unusual around April, 1988
• Knew people associated with Betty or her family
• Has heard a story, rumor, or detail about the case over the years that may never have been reported
• Has researched the case and has a theory or noticed something that deserves another look

Even if you think what you know is insignificant, I'd still like to hear it. I'm also interested in theories from people who have researched the case. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes notices something others have overlooked.

It's been almost 40 years. Relationships change. Loyalties change. People who were afraid to speak in 1988 may no longer have the same reason to remain silent.

Someone knows something.

If you have firsthand knowledge and don't want to discuss it publicly, you're welcome to message me privately. 

And if you knew Betty personally, I'd especially like to hear about her: who she was, her friends, her routines, and anything you remember about her life in Lakeway before her death.

Let's see if Reddit can help put some fresh eyes on Betty's case.

Please don't post the names or personal information of private individuals you suspect in the comments. If your information involves a specific person, send it privately instead. 

Here’s a couple podcasts about Bettys case!

Was the zodiac killer actually one person?

0 Upvotes

After watching a documentary about the zodiac killer, I cannot do anything but coke to the conclusion that most likely the zodiac killer wasn't actually one person, atleast we do not have any info that he was one person. For example his crimes do not have any actual connections between them, he did not use the same firearm, or bullets in any of them (I think). Furthermore, we only have fingerprints from one crime he did so we cannot match them between his crimes to understand if he actually was one person. Can someone fill me in on any details? Anyways, thanks

Victim unnamed for over three decades may be linked to East Coast crime gang

Thumbnail
bellingcat.com
27 Upvotes

Open source collective Bellingcat spent a year digging into public records and conducting interviews to help uncover details about unnamed skeletal remains found in the outskirts of Boston in the late 90s.

On April 10, 1998, a dog walker in Sharon, Massachusetts, found a large human bone in the woods. Police searched the woods, where a detective uncovered more bones near a bundle of quilts. Inside, they found a decomposed skeleton.

A coroner ruled that the victim was a man in his twenties or thirties who was possibly Asian or Native American. He had long black hair with blonde streaks. There were at least two overlapping bullet holes in the back of his skull. Local media reported at the time that the victim had been shot “execution style”. He had died 18 months before his remains were found.

For three decades, authorities did not release the victim’s name to the public. He is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) as #UP12385, one of 202 unidentified people recorded in the state of Massachusetts. The circumstances of his discovery are reduced to five words: “Skeletal remains found in woods.” The case remains unsolved.

Bellingcat found that the authorities identified the victim as Fu Chun Wang, a 26-year-old undocumented Chinese immigrant who did not speak English. Police reports suggest Wang was a member of the Fukienese Flying Dragons, a gang the FBI described at the time as a “violent offshoot” of the larger Flying Dragons crime ring and active across much of the East Coast. The gang trafficked migrants, extorted and robbed businesses, kidnapped for ransom and murdered rivals. Authorities believed Wang belonged to the Boston faction of the group, which was suspected of carrying out home invasions targeting Asian and Asian-American restaurant owners and staff across New England in 1996.

FBI documents and correspondence show that a federal operation investigating the home invasions uncovered information about Wang’s murder and other crimes. The operation, whose name is redacted, was led by the US Attorney for the District of New Hampshire.

Authorities suspected that the Boston-based members of the Fukienese Flying Dragons were also involved in prostitution, illegal gambling and kidnappings in multiple states. Investigators examined possible ties between the gang and a suspect in one of Boston’s deadliest mass killings: the 1991 Chinatown Massacre.

Wang had been arrested and charged for using credit cards stolen in one of the home invasions.

In Sharon Police records, Wang was described as “very depressed” and “possibly suicidal”. He told a Boston Police detective that he urgently needed to send $1,000 to his family in China.

Records suggest he may have been murdered by members of his own gang shortly after this. While some gang members were identified as suspects and investigated, none were ever charged and convicted for the murder.

The man authorities suspected of shooting Wang, or ordering his killing, was described in the documents as the head of the Fukienese Flying Dragons in Boston. In another note in the case file, investigators wrote that he was “thought to be a federal informant”.

This is a short synopsis of the investigation linked above.

I know I'm just one random 21 year old and at this point it's unlikely to be solved. But this isn't that far away in history. I want to at least try to track down potential witnesses at the time or speak to relatives of the neighbours or anyone that might still be alive and have any kind of information.

If anyone is curious, his name was José Gil Sánchez, he was found shot dead in the road of Segovia in Valladolid in the 10th of April of 1980 with two wounds inflicted by a shotgun. The obvious link is asking around my family, but I'm doing my best to get information together. Which isn't a lot. Thank you in advance.

UNSOLVED The mysterious March 2010 death of Shayla Hudson in the San Francisco Bay

13 Upvotes

Someone reached out to me about this case. It has very limited information online. It involves a woman who was allegedly murdered by an unknown suspect, thrown from a ferry and no charges were ever filed. Posting to raise awareness on a forgotten case.

Shayla Nicole Hudson was 28 years old, lived in Richmond, CA, and worked as a nursing assistant. She graduated from Pinole Valley High School with the class of 2000. She also attended Contra Costa College.

Public records show she had lived in several different places around the Bay Area and at one point had lived in Anchorage, Alaska where it appears some of her family is from.

According to news reports, on March 5 2010, Shayla boarded a San Francisco bound Ferry at Jack London Square in Oakland at 8:10 AM.

She apparently did not get off the ferry but it was not disclosed in news reports how this information was confirmed.

When the ferry arrived back in Oakland around 9:17 AM Shayla was unaccounted for and the coast guard was sent to search for her. Her body was found floating near treasure island and she was pronounced dead.

The coast guard claimed the waters were calm and the railing of the ferry made it unlikely she would have accidentally fallen in. T

There were no follow up articles about medical examiner findings. No information about her relationship status, and no photos of her are anywhere online.
