Why isn't Marsha Brantley's Husband in Jail?

Marsha Brantley went missing in 2009 when she was 50 years old.
Her husband, Donald Brantley, was indited for her murder twice.
The charges against him were dismissed both times before the case could go to trial.

There was a Wal-Mart receipt that shows that Donald bought a poly sheet, gorilla tape and a drop cloth.

He also rented a pressure washer from Bradly Reynolds.

Donnie contacted a singles' dating line with the new phone he bought for Marsha Brantley, despite having told police she had taken it with her. 

Donnie and his ex-girlfriend Stephanie Richardson allegedly shared a kiss before Marsha went missing, but Donnie says that is as far as it went.

He also had an account on a dating website for several months.

Donnie was having troubles with his business.

Money was tight.

The house was in Marsha's name, and if Donnie was going to have an affair or divorce Marsha, he would be homeless.

With her out of the picture he could sell the house.

Within about a week of Marsha's disappearance, Donnie allegedly hand-delivered a card to Richardson. 

It read: "Things are better for me now."

The two continued to see each other, but only for a short time before going their separate ways.

Authorities also found a landfill ticket that showed Donnie had dumped some questionable items.

Donnie allegedly kept changing his story about what happened to Marsha and, according to investigators, lied about where he kept the couple's camper.

If there is all this evidence why didn't the case go to trial?

Are they waiting for something more concrete?

William Mumler and Lincoln's Ghost.

William Mumler was an American spirit photographer who worked in New York and Boston.

Infamous “spirit photographer” William Mumler supposedly has the ability to use photographic plates to capture images of spiritual beings.

His first spirit photograph was apparently an accident.

In the early 1860's, he developed a self-portrait that appeared to feature the ghost of his cousin who had been dead for 12 years.

Mumler's most famous photograph apparently shows Mary Todd Lincoln with the "ghost" of her deceased husband, Abraham Lincoln.

Also Abraham Lincoln's Ghost, otherwise known as The White House Ghost, is said to have haunted the White House since his death in 1865.

Eleanor Roosevelt, President Dwight Eisenhower's press secretary, James Hagerty, and Liz Carpenter, press secretary to First Lady Lady Bird Johnson, said they felt Lincoln's presence many times.

The former president's footsteps are also said to be heard in the hall outside the Lincoln Bedroom.

President Harry S. Truman's daughter said she heard a specter rapping at the door of the Lincoln Bedroom when she stayed there, and believed it was Lincoln.

First Lady Grace Coolidge said she saw the ghost of Lincoln standing at a window in the Yellow Oval Room staring out at the Potomac.

He also says those involved in the cover-up include those in the department’s Robbery-Homicide Division and he says he an prove it.

Carson says that Biggie's death was a highly choreographed hit using police radios and maneuvers.

That all of this suggested an intimate familiarity with law enforcement.

Carson said that Biggie’s killing was orchestrated in the same way that other crimes committed by corrupt former police officers David Mack, Rafael Perez and Ruben Palomares were.

He also knew Mack and Perez had close ties to Suge Knight and Death Row Records.Many clues point to cop-turned-robber David Mack and mortgage broker Amir Muhammad.

They deny having any involvement in Biggie's Murder.

Danzig wants to do a Elvis Covers album.

Danzig has plans to release his long-awaited Elvis covers album next year.
He is also going to try to do Elvis covers only live shows.

"I'm still looking to put it out in 2019, and maybe do a few intimate shows here and there for it. 

But I don't know. 

We'll see. If the record's not out, 

I'm not gonna do [the shows where I sing nothing but Elvis covers. So it depends on my schedule and if I can get it together and get the cover and everything together and pick the songs. 

Because every time I have downtime, or if I was working on soundtrack stuff, I would just record another Elvis track or two, so what started out as an EP, I now have more than enough for a full album"

Heather Teague Goes Missing And So Does Her Cousin That Vows To Find Her.

On August 26, 2005,the tenth anniversary of Heather Teague's disappearance, her Cousin, 26 year-old Sue Ann Ray went missing.

Three days before she disappeared, Sue Ann sent an email to her aunt saying,

"I am sure that I can help. I will do anything I can. 

I picture this happening in my head and it doesn't make sense. Something is definitely wrong. 

We will bring her home! 

One way or another."

On the day she went missing she went to see her estranged husband.

Her car was found abandoned in a Canton Wal-Mart parking lot.

Sue Ann Ray's body was found on Wednesday, February 8th 2006.

Acting on a tip from an informant, authorities headed to the deep woods of Northern Cherokee County, near a creek and on a plateau halfway up a steep hill.

This is where they made the grim discovery of her body in a shallow grave.

An hour after her body was found, her estranged husband, Quinton Ray, was charged with her murder.

The couple had been involved in a custody battle over their 6-year-old daughter, Charity Ray.

Before her disappearance Quinton had threatened her, broke into her house and killed Sue Ann's dog.

On May 22, 2007, Quinton took a plea deal for her murder in order to avoid the death penalty.

He was given two life sentences with the possibility of parole after 20 years.

He planned his wife's murder for six months.

Quinton also stated that he worked out five of those six months, so that he would be strong enough to carry her body into the woods.

It took him 90 seconds to kill her, as he did so he told her,

"You can fight, but it won't do no good."

He then placed his arm around her neck and pulled every time she let out a breath.

He had dug her grave five months before her death and said he had no regrets.

Quinton's dad, Daniel, was charged with hindering the apprehension of a suspect and was sentenced to five years probation. 

Investigators said he helped his son dump his wife's car in a Woodstock shopping center to divert police.

The Disappearance of Heather Teague

An Investigator Thinks Madeleine Mccann Is Still Alive.

David Edgar, an investigator that worked on behalf of the Mccann family thinks that Madeleine could still be alive and trapped in a sex dungeon.
He thinks that she is probably in Portugal and perhaps trapped in a pedophile ring.
David thinks it is unlikely that she was smuggled out of the country without detection.
He believes that she could be living with her captor in a hideaway home or underground den inland from the popular seaside towns on the Algarve from where she was snatched, and that she might not even know people are looking for her.

He also says,

"'I've always thought that whoever is responsible will have confided in someone else. 
They usually do and it is very rare that they don't even if it takes years."

Madeleine would now be 15 years old.

Things You Might Not Know About Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe was very lonely, even though she put on a happy face.
Her mentally ill mother tried to kill her, so Marilyn grew up in a series of foster homes.
She was married before she turned 16 and dropped out of high school.
She never knew her father.
Marilyn divorced several times.
She desperately wanted a baby, but each time she tried she miscarried.
She was good friends with Judy Garland.

People thought she was a dumb blonde, but she was not.
She was deeply intellectual and an avid reader.
She had hundreds of books lining the shelves in her home, such as James Joyce's Ulysses.
At the time of her death, Monroe was reading two novels, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and Leo Rosten's Captain Newman MD.
She was an avid supporter of the civil rights movement.
Monroe helped songstress Ella Fitzgerald break into the Los Angeles music scene. 

Because of segregation laws still in place in 1955, black people were not allowed in nightclubs, so Monroe demanded that Fitzgerald be allowed to perform.

She  promised the management of a popular L.A. nightclub that if Fitzgerald could sing there, she would ensure publicity and a packed crowd by sitting in the front row every night for a week.

She was being monitored by the FBI.

Because of the political views of her and her husband, the FBI closely monitored them, thinking that they might have been communists.

The complete files are available now, though huge parts are blacked out. 

The original, untouched copies of the Monroe files no longer exist.

During renovations by the new owner to Marilyn's house after she died, discovered elaborate wiretapping and a telephone tapping system.

She was in love with Bobby Kennedy.

Monroe was rumored to have been involved with both JFK and Bobby.A alledged letter was sent to Monroe by Kennedy's younger sister, Jean Kennedy Smith.

 "Understand that you and Bobby are the new item!" she wrote. "We all think you should come with him when he comes back East!"

The FBI was investigating the suspected relationship between Bobby and Monroe with J. Edgar Hoover at the helm.

He was particularly determined to find anything scandalous.

A lot of evidence surrounding her death was destroyed or missing.

A lot of forensic evidence related to her death went missing.
One of the suspicious things was, that Marilyn's half sister reported that Marilyn's manager was burning some of her papers.

Many witness accounts of the night she died were contradictory.

The coroner and first responders had some doubts that her death was a suicide.

A fresh bruise was on Monroe's hip and when her  stomach was examined there were no traces of the dye that coated the Nembutal capsules that claimed her life. 

The coroner later admitted that he should have tested her internal organs instead of just performing toxicology tests on the blood and liver.

Weeks after he performed the autopsy the coroner asked the lab to test her other organs but they had already been destroyed.

The first officer to the scene thought something was off.
He thought it was staged and looked a little too neat and was nothing to drink in the room and no empty containers.

Did Bobby Kennedy have something to do with her death?

An FBI file suggests that Bobby Kennedy was aware of a plan to"induce" the starlet's suicide.

She was an amazing cook.

After her death, many recipes were found in her home.
She planned on writing a cookbook one day.
Cooking experts deemed those recipes as wonderful and that they seemed to come from a confident cook.

She was a poet.

Monroe's personal papers were published in 2010.

They show her frustration at dealing with day-to-day life and the people around her. 

"I can't really stand Human beings sometimes — I know they all have their problems as I have mine — but I'm really too tired for it. Trying to understand, making allowances, seeing certain things that just weary me."

Another entry reads,

 "all this thought and writing has made my hands tremble but I just want to keep pouring it out until that great pot in the mind is, though not emptied, relieved."
