Crucifix Cracks Mommy's Skull by Rod Kackley

Christian Lydia Martinez spent the day drinking with friends. The twenty-five-year-old Texas woman came home, got into a fight with her mom, and cracked the forty-five-year-old over the head with a crucifix.

San Antonio police say Christian ripped the religious icon right off the wall and bashed her mother over the head with it. 

Mom's going to be okay. She suffered a skull fracture. But doctors at a local hospital were able to treat her injury. 

Christian won't be coming home again, at least not for a while.

She's charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and held on a $30,000 bond. 

I don't think mommy's going to be putting up her house as collateral to spring her daughter, do you?

He'd always wanted her, but she just wanted to be friends. So, he killed her and everyone else in the house.

If it weren't for his cellmate and a hooker, this guy would still be running wild. 

If you've never read a true crime story, here's where you should start!

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
