Sa'Wade Birdinground has been missing since October 7th, 2024. The young teen was last seen around 11:00 PM the previous night at her family's home in Garryowen, Montana. When Sa'Wade's family went to wake her up the following morning, she was not in her bedroom, nor was she anywhere in or around the residence. Sa'Wade was subsequently reported missing.

Garryowen is a privately-owned town in Big Horn County, Montana. The specific area from which Sa'Wade vanished is a very rural area within the boundaries of the Crow Indian Reservation. Sa'Wade grew up on the reservation; she turned 13 years-old just a little over two weeks before her disappearance. Her family members describe her as a quiet girl with no history of running away. Reports state that Sa'Wade has autism, and that her disappearance is completely out of character.

Widespread searches were conducted for Sa'Wade, by both volunteers and professionals, but no sign of her was found. By October 20th, it was announced that the FBI had joined the search for Sa'Wade. At that time, it was also reported that Sa'Wade's phone, which she left behind, had been "handed off to the FBI for agents to recover recently cleared text messages and phone calls. Investigators are also looking at one additional phone call that may be the last person Sa’wade spoke with before vanishing."

It's unclear what other evidence the phone might have produced. Sa'Wade still remains missing. Authorities have kept quiet about their investigation due to its ongoing status. However, they are still appealing to the public for anyone with information about Sa'Wade's whereabouts to come forward. 

If you have any information that could help solve Sa'Wade's disappearance, please contact the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office at (406) 665-9798 or submit a tip to the FBI.

In the early hours of Wednesday, November 13, 1974, the DeFeo family was sleeping peacefully in their beautiful Dutch Colonial home in Amityville, New York, when they were systematically murdered by the eldest son. The murders rocked the little community on Long Island but not nearly to the degree as the ridiculous stories concocted by the next residents of the home. Thanks to their lies and exploitation, the DeFeos are remembered less for the tragedy that befell them and more for hoaxes and haunted house stories. Their tragedy was turned into a movie franchise. They deserve to be remembered as a family. Real human beings whose lives mattered.

5/5

I hadn’t planned on reading this today but damn, I sat and couldn’t put this down.

This is about Morino, a school girl who has a fascination with serial killers. And this town is hot bed for them. She doesn’t want to catch them, but to understand them.

This is told through a series of short stories; more like vignettes; of what this girl and her friend encounter in their town and start to seek out. This was a ride. I enjoyed the writing- translated works always have a bit of disconnect, but it works in this book’s favour. I found myself feeling uncomfortable as this went on; the situations and the characters seemed to get a bit more drastic and more in person with everything that goes on.

I feel like if you liked True Crime by Samantha Kolesnik you’d like this. It’s not as extreme but it has the same vibes. If you enjoy true crime in general really, I think you should pick this up.

TW: animal abuse; if that’s a trigger or sensitive spot don’t read. I did find it not as brutal as other books but it is a huge part of one of the chapters,

I really need to add more translated horror to my TBR.

The Incident of Lady Baek and the Fake Husband (Joseon Annals Edition)

Context: https://mysageukinbio.tumblr.com/post/770997214100209665/the-real-life-incident-behind-legend-of-lady-ok

This reads as a true crime case honestly so fair warning, lost post!

Events as described in an entry made on March 20th, 1564 (Myeongjong 19)

Scholar Yu Yu of Daegu married Lady Baek, then went crazy and ran away from the Capital, thought to be dead. Yu Yu allegedly wandered to Haeju and resided there with his concubine for more than a decade. As Yu Yu was the eldest, his responsibilities and the family fortune were passed to his younger brother Yu Yeon at their father's death. While in Haeju, Yu Yu allegedly changed his name to Chae Eung Ryong, returning to Hanyang as Yu Yu in the spring of 1564 with his concubine. Yu Yeon's brother-in-law, 3rd Deputy Director of Royal Relatives Lee Shik heard this and called Eung Ryong over, finding his appearance changed but his behaviors otherwise consistent with Yu Yu's. Lee Shik then invited Yu Yeon over, but Yeon denigrated Chae Eung Ryong as an imposter trying to steal the family fortune and the role of eldest son. He then physically assaulted Chae Eung Ryong and was arrested by the Daegu Magistrate's Office, screaming that Eung Ryong was not his brother the whole way there. At the Magistrate's office, Magistrate Park Eung Cheon first believed Yu Yeon and locked up Eung Ryong. During the trial, Lee Shik and other acquaintances of Yu Yu such as Shim Yung, Kim Baek Cheon, Seo Hyeong and Seo Shi Woong insisted Chae Eung Ryong to be the real Yu Yu, though they did not recognize him at first glance.

Chae Eung Ryong insisted to being Yu Yu, citing: "On my first night with my wife, I tried to rip off her gyeop-chima (wide skirt that can be overlapped), but she said she was on her period. I told no one else about this, so if you ask my wife you'll be able to tell the truth from the lie."

Lady Baek confirmed these details privately at her home and was invited to confirm Eung Ryong's identity, but she never managed to meet him, as he suddenly became ill and was bailed out. Yu Yeon was then arrested for the assault. Further allegations included a bribe Yu Yeon made to get rid of Chae Eung Ryong, to a jailer named Park Seok. As Park Seok testified, Yeon sent a servant to kidnap Eung Ryong, tie him to a rock and throw him into the Geumho River. Park Seok refused the bribe and reported the incident. Yeon's actions counted as a violation of the Three Bonds and Five Virtues as Eung Ryong's identity was yet to be confirmed. Yu Yeon was also accused of trying to get rid of evidence, as being the eldest son would guarantee him the family fortune. However, judgment was delayed despite his charge of "disturbing the principles of humanity". Yu Yeon was transferred to the State Tribunal (the Palace's investigation office) and tried there, where he admitted to his crime. As no corpse was found when Yu Yu first disappeared, Yeon was charged for attempting to harm his brother and executed on March 20th, 1564.

A further entry on April 10th 1580 (Seonjo 13) adds the following details, some of which conflict with the original entry.

Yu Yu's father was named Yu Yewon, and died 5 years after Yu's marriage to Lady Baek.

Yu Yu was established to have run away in the Jeongsa Year (1557, Myeongjong 12).

Chae Eung Ryong appeared under the name Yu Yu in 1564.

Lee Shik and his son Lee Gyeong Eok sent people to bring Eung Ryong to their house, and it was Lady Baek who messaged Yu Yeon to bring him home.

When Yu Yeon met Chae Eung Ryong, he said he couldn't recognize his face but he spoke in detail of family events nobody else would know. Yu Yeon was suspicious, tied him up and took him to the Daegu Magistrate's office himself.

Eung Ryong's illness was faked to avoid interrogation, knowing he'd reveal he wasn't Yu Yu under torture. He then pleaded for bail and ran away without a trace.

After Eung Ryong disappeared, Yu Yeon was arrested after rumors spread that he killed his brother.

State Tribunal presiding official Shin Tong Won immediately judged Yu Yeon as having killed his brother, then ordered him drawn and quartered after torturing him for a false confession.

The case then continued as follows:

Between the last Gyeongoh and Shinmi Years (1570-1571), a man named Cheon Yu Yong wandered about Sunan District pretending to be crazy while offering teachings to students from other schools. 6th Special Counselor Yun Seon Gak, who'd seen Yu Yu before, knew he was faking, and ran to Yu Yu's old friends to tell them what he saw. He added: "What kind of name is Cheon Yu Yong anyway?" In his report to the King, he expressed the injustice of Yu Yu being alive the whole time.

Seonjo ordered the Pyeongan Magistrate to conduct an investigation and ordered Cheon Yu Yong's arrest, after which Yu Yong confessed to being Yu Yu. He recited his family registry as far back as 4 generations as well as details from his family life, but said he knew nothing of what happened in 1564. The Sunan District Magistrate confirmed the other Yu Yu/Chae Eung Ryong to actually be named Chae Eung Gyu, currently living in Haeju - and ordered his arrest, but Eung Gyu killed himself soon before and only his concubine Chunsu was arrested.

Chunsu was revealed to be Eung Gyu's servant in 1564, and to have instigated the assault charge against the executed Yu Yeon. The case was brought to the State Tribunal when Lee Shik was accused of being in on Yu Yeon's plot to kill Chae Eung Gyu. Lee Shik was reportedly punished with severe flogging. Cheon Yu Yong, now confirmed to be the real Yu Yu, was also flogged 100 times for not attending his father's funeral, after which was sentenced to 3 years in exile as a government slave. Yu Yu died during the flogging.

This isn’t even a meme…it’s an actual headline

I'm breaking from tradition today by reviewing a book I haven't finished yet, but I'm more than far enough in to know it's the best thing by far I've read this month. It's also a book I'm moving through slowly because it's so detailed and so absolutely infuriating. (If you can't handle miscarriages of justice or victim blaming, this is not the book for you.)

Submerged by Hillel Levin is, essentially, the deepest of dives into two related crimes: the murder of a teenage girl and the conviction of an innocent man for it. If you've read true crime before, or listened to narrative true crime podcasts, you know more or less how the story goes, I think. A dead girl, a prime suspect they can't get solid evidence on, dropped charges, a reopened case with tunnel vision, politics within the local legal system, ineffective counsel, an erroneous conviction. What distinguishes this story from the others is the level of detail, and the twists that a) it's pretty obvious who really did it and b) the culprit's biggest supporters are the victim's family.

Levin clearly has access to the entire case file, since he walks the reader through every moment of the investigation and the trial, reconstructs timelines, and presents conflicting alibis and testimony, but he's also interviewed former detectives and others involved with the case and done original research. The amount of work he's put in is incredible, and I'm equally impressed by his restraint. If I'd written this book. I'd be firing shots at certain persons right, left, and center, rather than simply once every few pages and otherwise letting the facts speak for themselves. This is, simply put, excellent journalism.

As "basic" as the story is within the true crime genre, I'm also pretty sure I know how the book will end. This isn't something I'm reading to find out who did it, or how, or if they went to prison, or anything like that. I'm reading out of horrified fascination about how this could happen (which is what draws me to true crime, more often than not). There are so many points where things could have gone differently, where people could have chosen to be better, and so many points where the system failed. Levin's clearly aiming at getting the innocent man exonerated and giving the victim some true kind of justice, and I hope the right people read this book and that happens.

On March 19th, 2024, 40-year-old Ashley Smylie was tragically shot and killed in her home in Brandon, Mississippi. Her death has left the Rankin County community in shock and mourning, as Ashley was a beloved teacher at Northwest Rankin High School. The shock deepened when it was revealed that the person responsible for her death was her own teenage daughter, Carly Madison Gregg.

Carly, only 14 years old at the time of the incident, shot her mother in her bedroom. Later that evening, as her stepfather, Heath Smylie, entered their house, Carly shot him as well, striking him in the shoulder. Despite his injury, Heath managed to wrestle the gun away from her. Carly then fled the scene. 

Shortly thereafter, Heath found Ashley's body on the floor of Carly's bedroom. He then called 9-1-1 to report the shootings. Police later found Carly near the home and took her into custody. 

Carly was charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, and tampering with evidence. According to reports at the time of her arrest, she had killed her mother, attempted to kill her stepfather, and hidden the home's security cameras in an effort to conceal the crime. It was further announced that Carly would be tried as an adult on all charges.

Ashley's death has been a devastating loss for her family, friends, and students. Many were left with questions, such as: why did Carly kill her own mother? And how could such a young girl commit such horrific crime? Months later, these questions and more were addressed as Carly's trial began in Rankin County.
