She Cries Alone: A Shocking True Crime Story

Was it murder on New York’s Hudson River or merely a tragic accident? Should she go down in the annals of America’s female murderers, or is she just one more victim of a fractured court system.

Angelika Graswald claims she’s not a cold-blooded killer, but New York prosecutors say she purposely pulled a plug on her fiance’s kayak so he’d drown in the storm-tossed waves of the Hudson River.

She Cries Alone: A Shocking True Crime Story takes you through the day Vincent Viafore died, the afternoon Angelika walked and talked with a New York State Police detective, the eleven-hour police interrogation of this immigrant from Latvia, her disputed confession, and then the behind-the-scenes deal-making that led to her eventual plea bargain and release.

Is she a killer or a victim? You’ll be the judge as you read She Cries Alone: A Shocking True Crime Story by Rod Kackley.

She Cries Alone: A Shocking True Crime Story is available wherever books are sold including Amazon/Kindle, Barnes & Noble, and Rod Kackley's Crime Stories Bookstore.

Chopped Up Body In The Basement? Who Is She?

Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018:  Grand Rapids, Mich. police responded to a report of  "a suspicious activity involving possible foul play" in the 900-block of Franklin SE at 4:30pm EST. It's not the worst neighborhood in this West Michigan, but it's not the worst, either. Lots of two-story wooden homes dating back to World War Two. Plenty of renters, and enough crime to keep the cops busy 24/7. This crime is going to be one of more interesting in recent memory.

After waiting hours for a warrant, officers carefully go into a large home converted into a couple of relatively inexpensive apartments. It doesn't take long to dial up this investigation from "suspicious activity" and "possible foul play" to something much, much worse.

Officers discover a couple of human body parts just outside a stairway to Apartment #2, the home of Jared James Chance. Inside Jared's apartment detectives find "several areas of blood" and "articles that could have been used to dismember a human body" along with some bloody rags and bottles of cleaning solutions.

Now, as for that body, Shocking True Crime readers, where's the rest of it? Police find it in the basement of the structure. Chance was arrested, Sunday, and charged with the mutilation of a dead body, and that is probably just the beginning of the charges that could put Jared James Chance behind bars for the rest of his life.

Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2018:  The GRPD is back in the neighborhood, looking into a dumpster. Looking for more evidence? You can bet on it. And they must have found something. A GRPD truck took the dumpster way after it was wrapped in plastic.

Now then, the body. Who is it, or better put, who was it? 

Nobody knows, at least not at the time this article was written.
But dear Shocking True Crime readers, here's a clue we can't ignore: a woman described as an "acquaintance" Jared's was last seen with our suspect Nov. 30 and has not been seen since.
Could she be the victim? More to come, I am sure

German Police Use iPhone's Health App to Solve Murder

From the New York Post:

In something of a bizarre story, the Health app on Apple’s iPhone may play a pivotal role in definitively proving who raped and murdered a young medical student in Germany late last year. 

As detailed by the BBC, German authorities already have a suspect in custody, a man who we only know by Hussein K. 

As the story goes, Hussein K has already admitted his involvement, though some details regarding the murder still remain fuzzy. Incidentally, Hussein K refused to provide the pin code of his iPhone.
