Counterfile
In my free time, I research selected true crime cases as well as ongoing cases of interest. At this time, I have three cases that I'm privately researching. Each case has its own website, and updates/pages will be published in time as the information becomes available.
One April afternoon in 1989, seven-year-old Jenny Sue Iles went to visit a friend: she never came home. Ten days later, her body was discovered in an abandoned house mere blocks from where her parents lived. More than three decades later, her case remains unsolved.
I presented on Jenny Sue's case at the 2026 Rhetoric Society of America conference, and my paper and slide deck are available:
In August 2013, twenty-eight-year-old Melinda Ingram disappeared. Nearly ten years later, a man came forward to confess his involvement in her murder and the dumping of her body across state lines. Melinda was a mother of one daughter. Her killer, Alexei Koloskov, was my husband's business partner and a family friend.
This is an active case and, for now, has no publishable details.
