[truecrimecrystals]

Heaven LaShae Ross disappeared in Northport, Alabama on August 19th, 2003. The 11-year-old girl left her family's residence that morning to walk to her school bus stop. The young girl, known by her loved ones as Shae, never made it to her destination. 

It did not take long for Shae's family to notice she had vanished. It began pouring rain a few short minutes after she left the house. According to reports, Shae's stepfather Kevin Thompson subsequently decided to drive Shae and her older sister, Alex - who was already at the bus stop - to school instead. When Kevin drove up to the bus stop, he found Alex there alone. Shae had not shown up and was nowhere in sight.

The bus stop is located approximately 50 yards from the family's residence at the Willowbrook Mobile Home Park off of Hunter's Creek Road. Shae left the home that morning at 6:55 AM to make that short walk. The storm erupted a few minutes later; it was 7:01 AM when Kevin went to pick the girls up from the bus stop. Shae seemingly vanished during a 50-yard walk in a span of just 6 minutes. 

Shae's mother and stepfather contacted police very shortly after discovering she was missing. Police spoke to various residents at the mobile home park and learned that a few neighbors had seen Shae walking by herself towards the bus stop that morning. No one reported seeing her with anyone, nor did anyone report seeing her get into a vehicle. As such, Shae's disappearance did not meet the criteria for an Amber Alert to be issued. 

When Shae had not returned by the time school let out that day, the full-scale investigation was finally launched. Over the next several weeks, authorities from both local police and the FBI were involved in the search. Volunteer searches were also conducted. Flyers were passed out and reward money was offered. Unfortunately, none of these efforts led to Shae's whereabouts.

Neighbors, family members, friends, and various persons of interest were interviewed - but nobody was able to account for Shae's whereabouts. As weeks turned into months without any sign of Shae, her case grew cold. Over three years passed without any sign of the young girl. 

Then, on December 19th, 2006, a daunting discovery was made at an abandoned house off Crescent Ridge Road near Holt. A man was collecting cans near the house when his dog ran into the house's crawlspace. The man followed his dog and noticed that, inside the crawlspace, there was a bright pink shirt with the Bratz Doll logo, a pair of leggings, and what appeared to be human skeletal remains.

When police arrived on the scene, they noticed that the clothing in the crawlspace was the same clothing that Shae was wearing when she left her house on the morning of her disappearance. As such, it was immediately suspected that the remains belonged to Shae. Forensic testing confirmed this shortly thereafter.

Shae's remains were badly decomposed, making investigators unable to determine an exact cause of death. However, her manner of death was labeled as a homicide. Shae was found just 8 miles away from the mobile home park where she lived, in a location that is well known for illegal drug activity. The discovery of her body in that area has led to several questions that remain unanswered today - such as: Who killed Shae? How did she end up in that house?

A look into the circumstances surrounding Shae's disappearance has led to a few different theories.

"When green leaves meet red ones": kidge fall event.

Day Seven; Falling for you!

characters: Keith, Pidge and Shiro.

Pairings: Keith and Pidge/ Kidge

Pre Kerberos

He’d had another rough day at the Garrison. Between his classmates laughing behind his back and the long hours spent sitting in that stiff chair, the young boy was exhausted—and a bit on edge. All he wanted at that moment was to go on one of those rides where the wind whipped through his hair, making him feel like it was blowing all his problems away. But he couldn’t. He had to wait for Shiro, like every Monday, and wait in a place he hated: the town.

Fidgeting with his fingers, he sat on a bench, staring at the bare-branched trees. Time had stripped them of their leaves, leaving only a few red ones still fluttering to the ground. As he raised his eyes, something caught his attention. At first, it seemed to blend with the autumn scenery, but not quite.

A young girl. She looked familiar. She had a soft face dusted with freckles, and her hair was the same color as the fallen leaves. Her eyes, a warm amber, gleamed with life. She seemed to fit perfectly into the autumn picture, yet stood out simply by the sound of her laughter. She was walking a small, white puppy, her pink lips curved into a wide smile. In the middle of the monotony of the season, you couldn’t miss her.

Commander Holt’s daughter! That’s why she seemed familiar. He’d heard a lot about her—either from her brother Matt talking to Shiro, or through rumors. They said she was smart, a nerd. Some said she was cold. But from where Keith sat, she didn’t seem cold at all. She looked... normal, kind even. And Keith knew better than to believe rumors. He was no stranger to being their victim himself.

He found himself watching her, imagining what she was really like. For some reason, he felt drawn to her, his heart beating faster as she laughed, completely unaware of his gaze.

“Looking at Matt’s sister, huh?” Shiro’s voice startled Keith, making him jump.

“What are you talking about?!” Keith quickly tried to brush it off, but his cheeks betrayed him, flushing red.

Shiro wasn’t one to tease, so even though he could tell something was up, he respected Keith’s wish not to talk about it yet. “If you say so. Anyway, my car’s in the parking lot. Also, I got a call—your bike’s ready. You won’t have to wait around here anymore.”

“Sure,” Keith muttered.

But even after getting his bike back, Keith found himself returning to that same spot every day—just to catch a glimpse of her, even if only for a few seconds.

New Releases for January 30, 2024

The four new releases we found this week are filled with poetry, murder, romance, and a little more murder of the fantastical variety.  

Poemhood: Our Black Revival: History, Folklore & the Black Experience: A Young Adult Poetry Anthology edited by Amber McBride Taylor Byas, & Erica Martin HarperCollins

Starring thirty-seven poets, with contributions from acclaimed authors, including Kwame Alexander, Ibi Zoboi, and Nikki Giovanni, this breathtaking Black YA poetry anthology edited by National Book Award finalist Amber McBride, Taylor Byas, and Erica Martin celebrates Black poetry, folklore, and culture.

Come, claim your wings.

Lift your life above the earth,

return to the land of your father’s birth.

What exactly is it to be Black in America?

Well, for some, it’s learning how to morph the hatred placed by others into love for oneself; for others, it’s unearthing the strength it takes to continue to hold one’s swagger when multitudinous factors work to make Black lives crumble. For some, it’s gathering around the kitchen table as Grandma tells the story of Anansi the spider, while for others it’s grinning from ear to ear while eating auntie’s spectacular 7Up cake.

Black experiences and traditions are complex, striking, and vast—they stretch longer than the Nile and are four times as deep—and carry more than just unimaginable pain—there is also joy.

Featuring an all-star group of thirty-seven powerful poetic voices, including such luminaries as Kwame Alexander, James Baldwin, Ibi Zoboi, Audre Lorde, Nikki Giovanni, and Gwendolyn Brooks, this riveting anthology depicts the diversity of the Black experience by fostering a conversation about race, faith, heritage, and resilience between fresh poets and the literary ancestors that came before them.

Edited by Taylor Byas, Erica Martin, and Coretta Scott King New Talent Award winner Amber McBride, Poemhood will simultaneously highlight the duality and nuance at the crux of so many Black experiences with poetry being the psalm constantly playing.

Wander in the Dark by Jumata Emill

Delacorte Press

Amir Trudeau only goes to his half brother Marcel’s birthday party because of Chloe Danvers. Chloe is rich, and hot, and fits right into the perfect life Marcel inherited when their father left Amir’s mother to start a new family with Marcel’s mom. But Chloe is hot enough for Amir to forget that for one night.

Does she want to hook up? Or is she trying to meddle in the estranged brothers’ messy family drama? Amir can’t tell. He doesn’t know what Chloe wants from him when, in the final hours of Mardi Gras, she asks him to take her home and stay—her parents are away and she doesn’t want to be alone.

Amir never gets an answer to his question, because when he wakes up, Chloe is dead—stabbed while he was passed out on the couch downstairs—and Amir becomes the only suspect. A Black teenager caught fleeing the scene of the murder of a rich white girl? All of New Orleans agrees, the case is open and shut.

Amir is innocent. He has a lawyer, but unless someone can figure out who really killed Chloe, it doesn’t look good for him. His number one ally? Marcel. Their relationship is messy, but his half brother knows that Amir isn’t a murderer—and maybe proving Amir’s innocence will repair the rift that’s always existed between them.

To find Chloe’s killer, Amir and Marcel need to dig into her secrets. And what they find is darker than either could have guessed. Parents will go to any lengths to protect their children, and in a city as old as New Orleans, the right family connections can bury even the ugliest truths.

Just Say Yes by Goldy Moldavsky Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)

Jimena Ramos had no idea she was undocumented.

Now she’s seventeen, and she needs to figure out a way to stay in New York City, the only home she can remember. There’s only one possibility that will get her a green card quickly enough: Jimena is going to find an American to marry her.

She’s got one excellent candidate: Vitaly, her next-door neighbor and friend, the only person she trusts with her secret. But Vitaly’s got his own plans for the future. He’s a definite no.

So Jimena tries online dating. She decides to approach this marriage like a business transaction. She figures out a plan that just might save her and make her a citizen at last.

But of course, she can’t stop thinking about Vitaly.

These Deadly Prophecies by Andrea Tang G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers

A teenage sorcerer’s apprentice must solve her boss’s murder in order to prove her innocence in this twisty, magic-infused murder mystery perfect for fans of Knives Out and The Inheritance Games .

Being an apprentice for one of the world’s most famous sorcerers has its challenges; Tabatha Zeng just didn’t think they would include solving crime. But when her boss, the infamous fortuneteller Sorcerer Solomon, predicts his own brutal death—and worse, it comes true—Tabatha finds herself caught in the crosshairs.

The police have their sights set on her and Callum Solomon, her murdered boss’s youngest son. With suspicion swirling around them, the two decide to team up to find the real killer and clear their own names once and for all.

But solving a murder isn’t as easy as it seems, especially when the suspect list is mostly the rich, connected, and magical members of Sorcerer Solomon’s family. And Tabatha can’t quite escape the nagging voice in her head just how much can she really trust Callum Solomon?

Nothing is as it seems in this quick-witted and fantastical murder mystery.

[adobedragon]

“I was right and you were wrong,” sang Lance as he strolled triumphantly through the laboratory’s doorway. Hips swaying, he salsa danced over to the main workstation, his target, the diminutive Galaxy Garrison officer who was bent over a magnifying screen, plasma-welder in hand, an engine component on the table before her.

As expected, Pidge didn’t look up from her work.

Undeterred, Lance kept on with the song and dance. “I was right, you were wrong. Come on, baby, sing my song.” His hip bumped hers and he said, “Seriously, hermosa, sing.”

Amber brown eyes met his from behind safety goggles, the cant of her eyebrows signaling irritation, though her lips twitched with a smile. “What are you going on about?”

“I was right about the intercoolers on the dynotherms’ Q delivery lines. They were too small.”

Pidge’s shoulders rose in a sigh as she switched off the plasma-welder and snapped it in a holster on the worktable. She tugged her goggles off and set them on the worktable. “Yes. You were right.”

“Ouch. Don’t hurt yourself. Take it slow.” He laid his hands on her hips and moved them in time with his. “Ease yourself into the big, beautiful truth that Lance McClain is right. He’s always right.”

“Cool your jets, flyboy,” she said, swatting lazily at his hands. “I didn’t say that.”

“You did. Said I was right. You can’t take it back. No takebacksies.”

“Right, in this case. That doesn’t imply that henceforth in time, particularly in matters of engineering and science, that you will always be correct.”

“You just can’t handle all this brilliance.” He gestured at himself, currently clad in a blue and white Galaxy Garrison flight suit. “I know it’s hard to accept, but, yes, without a doubt, Loverboy Lance is a genius. Say it: ‘Lance is a genius.’”

She smirked. “You’re a genius…with a sniper rifle or in the cockpit of an MFE fighter.”

“Genius in all things,” he prodded. “Say it.”

“No.” She reached for her goggles. “If you’re just here to gloat obnoxiously, shoo.”

“Say it,” said Lance, arms crossed over his chest. “Or, I’ll, I’ll…”

“You’ll what?” Her smirk got smirky-er. “Hold your breath till you pass out? You tried that last week. Gave yourself a headache.”

“I’ll….” He lifted his chin, and stared imperiously across the lab. “I’ll withhold my affections.”

At this, Pidge spluttered like an overflowing teakettle. “You’ll withhold sex?” She poked his chest with a finger, short fingernails tapping the flight suit’s hardened chest piece. “You wouldn’t last a week. Or a day.”

His eyes met hers. “Would too. I’m a rock. I’m a mountain, immovable, uh, what are you doing?”

“Moving mountains.” Pidge had set the goggles down and her hands were on his hips. He skittered backwards, his butt colliding with a smaller worktable. She was small but speedy, instantly on him, her hands roaming up and down his body. Though the flight suit’s insulation kept the heat of her hands from his skin, his body’s sense memory vibrated with the recollection of those agile fingers on his bare body.

Lance, of course, hadn’t expect Pidge of all people, to proclaim him a genius. Honestly? He was rather thrilled that she thought he was a genius sharpshooter and pilot.

He most definitely wasn’t serious regarding the cessation of sexy times with Pidge Holt, formerly pilot of the Green Lion, Paladin of Voltron, and now a lieutenant and probably soon-to-be captain in the Garrison’s engineering corp. Her potential promotion meant she might soon outrank him, but he was cool with that because fraternizing with a superior officer was really hot.

And…and what was this conversation about…?

Pidge’s hands were now on his ass and his were unbuckling the belt on her gray Garrison uniform.

It was the middle of the day and at any minute someone might walk in on them (resulting in yet another “conduct unbecoming an officer” charge), but Lance McClain’s Machiavellian (Yes, he knew what that meant) plan to distract and seduce Pidge Holt had worked.

Lance McClain was a genius, indeed.

[fridaynightaus]

Made an Monster High AU for Eddsworld, now I'm making one for FNF. I mean a good amount of the characters (both canon and mod) are supernatural anyway so why the hell not?

I made Boyfriend (or as he's called in my and my friend's fanon: Jacob) an Android-Angel hybrid (andgel?) based on two common headcanons for BF: BF being an angel to contrast GF being a demon, and that's he's Hatsune Miku's brother (which I don't subscribe to myself but I can see it). In fact Jacob's clothes were inspired directly from Vocaloid outfits (specifically Len Append and Anode Miku).

And yes I used the same last name from the Soft Mod. I just think it works so well, both since BF's half angel here and it's a nice complement to the last name Dearest, in a way.

Bio and skullette down below!

Bio Parents An Angel (Father) An Android (Mother) Age 16 Killer Style I’m into that techno cyber-idol style. Freaky Flaw I don’t look before I leap, or I should I say: look before I fly. For me it’s always “action first, ask questions later”...or never, in some cases Pet Sera, my dog! Aka THE best girl out there! Favorite Activity

You could say I was born to sing, so you can mostly catch me spitting some bars while chilling with my ghoulfriend. I also like to do sick fingerboard tricks.

Pet Peeve When I’m trying to relax and something happens out of the blue that completely kills the vibe. Favorite Subject Singing of course! Least Favorite Subject Literature. How can anyone read through that stuff and NOT conk out after a few pages? Favorite Color(s) Blue, Cyan, and White Favorite Food(s)

Pepperoni Pizza and Donuts! For drinks I like Ice Tea and Milk, not together of course, that’s nasty.

Friends Amber Dearest (Girlfriend) Pico Benelli Kenji Sakubara Blaze Thorburn Dusk Evans Holt Hyde Elle Eedee

Abilities

Light Manipulaton Jacob can create and manipulate light, which he can use either for utility (ex: lighting up dark areas) and combat.

Emotional Color Change Similar to Kiyomi Haunterly's body, Jacob halo and wings act similar to that of a mood ring, changing colors depending on how he's feeling. It’s normally blue which means he’s happy, dark blue means he’s sad, red means he’s angry, purple means he’s scared, green means he’s disgusted, pink means he’s in love, orange is when he’s annoyed, etc.

Flight He can fly thanks to the wings on his back.

Pain Immunity As he is half android, he cannot feel pain

Immortality Because he is half-angel, he is immortal as well.

Bonus Notes (More to possibly be added in the future)

While Jacob is indeed a hybrid, he wasn’t born in the traditional sense, but rather created. His mother supplied the metal body while his father supplied divine power, the resulting ritual created Jacob.
