Colonial Parkway: Justice Not Forgotten

On this day in 1986, a long nightmare was just beginning. On that day, 23 years ago, the bodies 21-year-old Rebecca Ann Dowski and 27-year-old Cathleen Marian Thomas were discovered in the back seat of their car. The Honda Civic had been pushed down an embankment of the York River, off of the Colonial Parkway. To this day, those murders, and the six more that would follow, remain unsolved. The cases have been referred to over the years as the “Parkway Murders” or the “Peninsula Murders.”

Unsolved Homicide: Leah Nicole Freeman

As the ninth-anniversary of 15-year-old Coquille, Ore. resident Leah Freeman’s murder rapidly approaches, her mother Cory Courtright’s quest for justice continues. Freeman disappeared while walking home in Coquille the night of June 29, 2000. Her body was discovered in Fairview, a wooded town eight miles outside of Coquille, more than a month later on August 3, 2000. After an autopsy was performed, it was determined that Freeman died from homicidal violence. Nine years later, the case is considered “cold” and remains unsolved. But there is nothing “cold” about the case as far as Courtright is concerned, “I will seek justice in the murder of my daughter until my dying day. I want the person or people responsible for her death to pay for their crime and to be behind bars where they cannot endanger anyone else.”

Book Review: A Cold-Blooded Business by Marek Fuchs

I am very glad to have been given the opportunity to review this book. Living smack-dab in the middle of the Bible Belt myself, the story told is a perfect example of how Evil can be perpetrated by those who seemingly hold themselves above it –and above everyone else. Author Marek Fuchs puts in writing the outrageous slap in the face to Justice and the road to finally closing a case that remained open much too long. But, this story is not a one-sided indictment of religion. The facts have been presented quite objectively. This is a story of a murder that went unpunished for decades. It is also the story of how one religious organization’s power served to obstruct justice in the case for 23 years. While no one ever faced any real consequences for delaying and interfering with the investigation, the murder was eventually solved and the case was finally closed. Was justice served? That is for you to decide –and I hope you will read the book and make your own decision. For me, it was hard book to put down once I cracked it open.
