November 23rd: John Eric Armstrong Born (1973)

Unassuming doesn’t always mean safe. On November 23rd 1975 a man was born who would spend his life described as unassuming and forgettable. A man who used that to his advantage and may have taken the lives of as many as 30 young women.

November 20th: Sage Smith Last Seen (2012)

Missing persons cases always leave us with more questions than answers. On November 20th 2012 a young girl whose life was heading in the right direction went out for a date and never returned. Her case, with differing information and lack of media posts, seems to have far more questions than answers.
