Melissa Sue Platt: Has Somone Got Clean Away With Murder ?
Melissa Sue Platt
Melissa’s injuries included bruises on her back, stomach, legs, arms, and behind her ear. Her left eye was blackened. Her jaw was broken on both the left and right sides of her face. She had a large mark on her neck that appeared to be a strangulation injury. Worse, she was suffering a brain bleed and a blood clot on the right side of her brain. Doctors immediately performed a craniotomy to try to relieve the pressure on her brain, inserting a tube into the right side of her head.
Marian, who had received a phone call from Melissa's boyfriend on October 3rd, to inform her that Melissa had fallen in the bathroom but was okay, realized that Melissa had laid in that bed in her home slowly dying for six long days. Her boyfriend did not seek medical attention for her. What he is believed to have done instead is wrap her in the blanket on the bed, feed her liquor through a straw, and leave her there alone while he went to and from work. Doctors informed the family that it was impossible that she could have suffered her injuries from the fall her boyfriend had described. The family was also told that they discovered old head injuries when they performed the craniotomy. Her boyfriend did not call, nor visit Melissa in the hospital......read more

Mapelton : Husband And Wife Suicide
Emmett, 67, and Rebecca Ledbetter, 52, of 6702 S. Harkers Corner Road were pronounced dead at 7:45 p.m. in their home, according to Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll. Both appeared to have died from gunshot wounds, though autopsies will not be performed until Thursday.
Rebecca Ledbetter called police at 6:23 p.m. saying her husband had a gun. When police arrived to the home, both were found dead in the living area of the home.
Relatives of Rebecca Ledbetter had met with her earlier in the afternoon and have told authorities nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Family members also said the couple did not have a history of domestic violence.
"Family members are very much in shock that this occurred," Ingersoll said.

#SusanPowell : Both Of Her Small Boys Had Suffered 'Chop Injuries' From An Axe - No One Can begin To Imagine Their Final Moments. R.I. P. Boys You Are With Your Mom Now.
Josh Powell's final, horrific act — killing his sons and himself in a fiery inferno — was tantamount to a confession to his wife's disappearance and presumed death, according to the Pierce County prosecuting attorney.
"If there was any doubt about who murdered Susan Powell, it's gone now," Mark Lindquist said.
On Sunday, when Powell attacked his two sons with a hatchet and then set fire to his Graham rental home, he had long been considered by Utah police to be a person of interest in his wife's December 2009 disappearance. But charges had never been brought against him despite questions over his claims that his wife went missing after he took his two sons camping in the middle of the night in freezing temperatures.
Despite Powell's death, police in West Valley City, Utah, say the investigation into Susan Powell's disappearance will continue.
Lindquist's reference to Susan Powell's presumed slaying isn't the first time authorities indicated they believe the missing mother of two was the victim of homicide. A search warrant obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request Tuesday shows that police in Utah were investigating three felonies in connection with the case: first-degree murder, kidnapping and obstructing a public servant.
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill acknowledged for the first time that they believe Powell is likely dead, but said the case remains a missing persons probe for now...read more
