Part 3 in a series from NPR, which reports that that FBI does indeed have a longstanding policy of protecting drug informants as well as letting crime go unpunished.Yes, remember the original story. Katie was abducted because she saw drug activity. And then the story abruptly changed. Remember the presence of the FBI in Crothersville during that time?Wake up, residents of Jackson County.

If you are still not convinced that DNA is not accurate all of the time, please read the article below taken from the Innocent Project's Innocence Blog. Now there have been other posts on this blog showing how the alleged dna evidence against Stockelman could have been tainted.Read the words in bold very very carefully, looks like whoever wrote this article hit the nail on the head as far as

In recently reading the first ten amendments of the US Constitution, one amendment in particular stood out. It was the fifth amendment. We commonly think of it as the right not to testify against oneself in court, however it is more detailed than that. The fifth amendment of the US Constitution reads as follows: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless

This article from the whyfiles shows more evidence that crime laboratories feel pressure to "find" the guilty party. Can we really trust DNA evidence to be accurate when there is pressure to have the forensic evidence match?http://whyfiles.org/133crime_lab/5.htmlDon't give that girl a gunBehind the debate over the proper role of crime labs is this question: Are labs tools of the prosecution, or

It would seem that what has convinced the public most of Anthony Stockelman's guilt is the fact that the prosecution claims to have DNA evidence. Shows like CSI and Cold Case Files have promoted the idea that forensic evidence is infallible and cannot be disputed. However, this article from the Innocence Project reveals that often DNA is mishandled and DNA experts have been known to fabricate

Here is a link to a story written about Crothersville. It talks about the murders in the town.Note that this is a fairly recent article, yet the author still talks about this crime as being drug-related.http://www.authspot.com/Journals/Small-Town.95369This author claims that even though the public was told that drugs did not play a part in this young girl's death, she does not necessarily

Now of all of the forensic evidence that officials claim to have, the carpet fibers stick out in my mind as being the most illogical. Here is yet more proof that the claim that this forensic evidence just does not make sense.Two days after Katie disappeared, an eyewitness saw her across town near the school riding in a white Ford F150 pick up truck. According to the witness, the child did not

Police claim that a key piece of evidence against me were carpet fibers taken from the binding materials which matched carpet samples taken from my mother's home. This cannot be possible.An article dated 2/2/2005 in the Seymour Daily Tribune refers to a scent dog named Emma who was deployed in the search for Katie soon after she became missing says:"Emma, a bloodhound, provided investigators

The murder of Aaron "Shorty" Hall in April 2007 again brought focus to the tiny town of only 1500 residents. Garrett Gray and Coleman King claim that they beat Aaron Hall to death because he made an unwanted sexual advance towards King. They left him naked and alone, dying in cold temperatures, suffering multiple beating wounds.Garrett Gray and Coleman King both plead guilty to a lesser charge

Framing innocent men in order to protect drug informants has been a longstanding policy within the FBI. In July, 2007 a Federal Judge ordered taxpayers to shell out over 100 million dollars to the families of four men who spent decades in prison for a murder they did not commit.Here is the story from Fox News:BOSTON — In a stinging rebuke of the FBI, a federal judge on Thursday ordered the

Here are a few unanswered questions concerning this case. I'm sure there are many many more:Unanswered questions about the Katie Collman case:1. Why were police not doing anything about the drug problem in the community prior to Katie’s disappearance?2. Why did the eyewitness who saw Katie in the truck wait 2 days to come forward?3. Why did police claim Katie was riding with a stranger while at

On January 25, 2005, a young girl named Katie Collman left her home in Crothersville, Indiana to buy some toilet paper for her mother. It was a walk she had taken literally hundreds of times before according to her father, John Neace. However, this time would be different. Katie did not return, and was found 5 days later floating in a creek leading from Cypress Lake some 17 miles north of where

Thank you for visiting my site. My name is Tony Stockelman. I am currently serving a life sentence for a crime I did not commit. I hope you will allow me to tell you my story.On January 25, 2005, I was at my mother's house on Kovener Street in Crothersville, Indiana moving some furniture for her to a new residence. That afternoon, a few blocks from where my mother lived a young girl named Katlyn
