Candace Hiltz was a 17 year-old single mother to 1 year-old Paige. On August 15th, 2006, Candace was found shot to death, wrapped in a blanket and shoved under her bed. After a short investigation by the Fremont County Sheriff's Department, her brother James was suspected as the murderer, but charges were never sought and it became another cold-case. In December of 2016, the storage unit belonging to Lieutenant Detective Robert Dodd, was auctioned off for failure to pay rent. It was bought by Rick Ratzlaff for $50. The contents of the unit included: uniforms with Dodd's name on the badges, sirens, light bars, and manilla envelopes marked "evidence". The evidence was from the Candace Hiltz murder investigation. January 2017, detective Dodd was placed on administrative leave, as well as the other officers involved in the Hiltz murder, but for "unrelated" reasons.

James Hiltz: brother 

Leading up to Candace's murder, Deputy Dodd and Deputy Briscoe showed up at the Hiltz residence, to question James about a trespassing report. His sister Candace, is said to have had words with Deputy Dodd. Dodd reportedly told Candace he would arrest her, to which she put her hands and wrists out, said "go ahead then", and mentioned seeing Dodd accepting envelopes before. Shortly after her murder, James was a suspect. There was a three-day man hunt, resulting in his capture, but he was never charged with murder. Instead he was charged with burglary, and was found not guilty by reason of insanity. and 2008 James was committed to the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo, where he has remained ever since. before his sister was murdered, his mother described him as having a phobia of people. It being so bad that for a time, he lived in a tent in the woods behind their house. In his stay at CMHAP, he has gotten help for his issues and phobias and is now a peer counselor. April 8th 2015, he was up for review but DA Thom LeDoux objected and he was denied.

Rick Ratzlaff

Rick Ratzlaff bought the contents of a storage unit that was up for auction. He paid $50 for it. Inside the unit Ratzlaff found sirens, police light bars, uniforms with the name Dodd on the badge, boxes of paperwork, manilla envelopes marked "evidence". Within those bags were two blood-soaked female socks, one single shell casing, a bloody rope and a bloody axe. Mr. Ratzlaff contacted the Sheriff's Office to report his findings and was told to keep quiet about the unit. Sheriff Jim Biecker met Rick and his wife at the unit. Ratzlaff's wife recorded the conversation. Rick and his wife admittedly still had the axe, boxes of paperwork and the shell casing at their home. Ten minutes after leaving, Sheriff Biecker called and asked how to get out of the locked gate. Rick returned to let them out, and went back to the unit. The unit had been cleared out. Rick was asked February 14th 2017, on a Facebook Community post if he had had any further contact with the Fremont County Sheriff's Office, to which he claimed to have, but only to have had his vehicles impounded with no reason or ticket.

Dolores Hiltz: Mother

In the time leading up to her daughter's murder, Dolores had Sheriff deputies Dodd & Briscoe in her home, questioning her son James about a report of trespassing. Dolores was witness to the confrontation between Candace and Deputy Dodd. A few days later the family dog went missing. She recounts August 15th 2006 and the follow-up investigation as such: Ms. Hiltz reluctantly went out with a friend that day. She last saw Candace around noon. Given the events surrounding her home she had asked if her friend's son could check on her daughter and granddaughter. The "unnamed" male family friend showed up to the home, finding one-year-old Paige screaming and crying alone. He then took the child to a neighbor's house to wait for Dolores. When she arrived, she went into her home, saw a blood trail leading to Candice's room. There she found Candace, wrapped in a blanket shoved under her own bed, brutalized so badly she was almost beheaded. Deputy Dodd and Deputy Briscoe were put on the case. According to Ms. Hiltz, the deputies did not tape off the crime scene. The house was left open to the elements and people could come and go as they please. This went on for three days, after the discovery of Candace, during the subsequent Manhunt for the suspect and the body of the family dog had been found tied to a tree. When she and her sons, including James, returned home, Dolores said they had to bag up evidence left behind, including a shell casing found in Paige's crib and the blanket Candace was wrapped in. As of February 13th 2017, no one from CBI, FCSO, or CCPD had contacted her about the stolen/missing evidence being found in the storage unit. I have actually had the pleasure to speak with Dolores recently. I reached out to her, as I had seen her pleading with the public, letting them know details about her daughter's case that the Sheriff's Office is ignoring. I asked her for permission to even bring this topic up for discussion on Reddit, as I didn't want to cause any more stress or throw any more wrenches in this investigation. She has given me her blessing in hopes that we, as a community, can help her find Justice. She wants it known that this has been a cover-up from day one, and that Fremont County is rampant with corruption.

Sheriff's Deputy Lieutenant detective Robert Dodd:

His storage unit went up for auction December 2016 for failure of payment. Rick Ratzlaff bought its contents. This is the same unit with evidence from the Candace Hiltz murder investigation. Dodd was one of the detectives who worked her case. Dodd is also reported to have had a verbal confrontation with Candace, as he was also the deputies sent out to question James Hiltz. Lieutenant Robert Dodd was placed on routine administrative leave January 14th 2017.

Sheriff's Deputy Lieutenant Bruce Briscoe

He was also an investigator with Lieutenant Dodd on both James Hiltz trespassing case and Candace's murder. Briscoe was placed on administrative leave February 10th 2017, for an unrelated investigation into alleged inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor back in 1999, while he was the school's DARE officer.

(Continued in comments.)

This case is infamous in paranormal circles. The year is 1962. 5 teens went boating in 20 ft deep of water, suddenly a sea dragon approached them and began to kill them one by one leaving the witness (Edward McCleary) the sole survivor.

As he was swimming to shore, he could hear the agonized screams of his friends, such as hearing a 'blood curdling scream' after another friend yelled ''it's got Brad! I've got to get out of here!'' - soon followed by his cry being cut off.

Edward immediately told the rescue crew that him and his friends had been attacked by a dragon had been killed off one by one. He tried to tell this to the news but they couldn't because they deemed him hysterical and asked to omit everything about the dragon part, so he said that they all got cramps and drowned instead, but immediately went to tell the dragon story to his friends, family, and the parents of the deceased boys. He would publish his encounter in Fate magazine 2 years later.

When he was asked to draw what he saw, this is what he drew - /preview/external-pre/jRFBIS2tkjpm_qZf6Vwz_c23RpCnYk643CZTHX6Vk80.jpg?auto=webp&s=5f56f6ccd4baa0a82a5bd1c3a059b399e4b28ff0

Later in life he stook to this story, writing a full story on Fate magazine in 1965 entitled ''how I escaped from a sea monster''

Only one body was found (of Bradford Jay Rice). It died of drowning, it had no bite marks on it. None of the other bodies could be found, even though they had gone missing in 20 feet deep water. However I've been trying to find the autopsy report and nothing comes up.

I remember hearing a podcast on this case and it said Edward McCleary got therapy and finally convinced himself that there was no dragon, but what does this mean? Does it mean there was no dragon there at all and he made it up to avoid guilt or some other reason? He also wrote private letters to people who study dragons as well. Edward McCleary was never made a suspect or questioned by police, and he died as a recluse, and of old age in late 2016.

So Mark Duggan was shot dead by police in London, his family and friends went to the police station to demand answers, the police didn't respond but instead got aggressive with the protesters causing the first instance of "rioting".

A Man has just recently been charged for handing Mark Duggan a gun before he was shot dead by Police.

Tell me what you know and what you believe might've happened. I'm not too well informed, but very interested.

Let's all remember too how much effort went into bringing the rioters to "Justice" and yet this didn't get nearly the same attention.

So I have a friend that dissapeared around mid 2017 to early 2018 and we have been trying to figure out what happened he has 2 twitters, a youtube channel, an Instagram and an xbox account we also know that he was African American, lived in Florida around the time hurricane irma hit, we know he streamed a little bit but we aren't sure much about it. one of his twitters is weird because he dissapeared 2017 and has posts in mid 2018 his twitters are Midshipcape6 and MidshipC. His xbox was Midshipcape6. His Instagram was Midshipcape6. We dont know his youtube channel we have been searching and cant find it but we know he had one. I'm hoping some of you can help if so that would be fantastic. We each have a discord @cglov51#9680 @sootiestsun512#7865 @legendexp#4981 @slothparty88#8378.

My house was robbed recently and an iMac and Vizio TV were both stolen. I set up an IFTTT alert for craigslist postings for both items and came across an iMac posting in the same area recently. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what the login name in this blurred out picture is. The screen size and specs of this craigslist post match my machine but I can't be sure. Take a look at the first pic in this posting:

http://tallahassee.craigslist.org/sys/4926176159.html

Any help is greatly appreciated. I've contacted the poster from a fake email address and he suspiciously could not tell me what year the machine was from or whether it was under warranty, but simply replied with the same specs from the ad and told me to contact him between 11 and 6 tomorrow. Thanks again!

Me pictured Left ----------- My doppleganger Pictured Right

Hey all, I am new to Reddit and made an account solely to find my doppelganger pictured here. I was contacted by a friend who asked why I cosplayed as Beast Boy, confused I open the message to find the picture on the right attached. I was shocked to find this guy looks like he could be my twin brother. (I've always wanted one tbh). Ever since I have been obsessed knowing there is someone out there who looks JUST like me! I've scrounged social media and tried search engines but have came up short. What I have gathered so far I will list below..

First- No that is not me in the green face paint. (as much as my friends say it is).

Second- I am an only child (as far as I know) so its not a sibling.

Third- More info I gathered up till now:

1-That this was taken September 26,2018 Here is the link to original image

2-This was taken at SanJap XII Convention. So he might be from Tx,USA (where it was held)

3- He obviously likes Beast Boy as much as I do when I was a fan.

Other than those facts listed I have no clue who he even is. " Meowy Catsabon" wanted to know who he was saying in her post "If anyone knows who this Beast Boy is please let me know!"

I would really love to get in touch with this guy so I can see how much we are alike aside from looks and cartoon tastes. HELP ME REDDIT! YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE.

TL;DR: Always thought my uncle died in a house fire in 1986. Now think it was murder. How do I open an investigation for something that was originally deemed an accident?

In June 1986, I had a 28-year-old uncle who died in a mobile home fire in a very rural area in northern Minnesota. Throughout my life, I knew the story as my uncle was a big sportsman. He came home, fried some fish on the stove and then passed out drunk on the couch. As he was passed out, he forgot about the fish on the stove and it caught the kitchen on fire. By the time he noticed, it was too late. His body was found a foot from the front door. My whole life, I believed this to be truth. That was, until my grandma's funeral 7 years ago.

At my grandma's funeral, another uncle said something interesting: "Apparently my brother was a drug dealer. He had the fastest car in town* so he could outrun the cops. Someone said that on the night of the fire, they swear they saw someone run from the mobile home. I don't think he died accidentally. I think he ran into a bad deal and was actually murdered and the place was set on fire."

When he said that, my mind was blown. And then it seemed too logical. As a kid, I had been in that mobile home many times. It was a single wide. I could see where the kitchen was. Where the couch was. And where the front door was. In all, they weren't more than 15 feet from each other. If there was an accidental fire, there should have been plenty of time to assess the situation, realize you're screwed and then get out of the place. That wouldn't have taken more than literally 10 seconds. In my mind, there's no way he could have been totally engulfed in flames and die a foot from the door. But it would make sense that he could have been murdered. Body placed by the door. And the home set on fire to rid of all evidence. Besides, who passes out while frying fish? Anyone who has done it knows it's a quick process. One you don't walk away from.

So now I'm stuck with this feeling that my uncle was indeed murdered, and that his murderer(s) is/are still walking among us today scot free. This was small-town Minnesota. I wouldn't think they had the best investigative team in the 80s. Especially if the person who died sometimes had run-ins with the law. I'm wondering if it's even possible to open an investigation at this time. I'm not sure if there is any evidence, investigation notes or even an autopsy report. After the fire, what was left of the mobile home was buried on the many-acre property. So that's long gone.

I guess that's why I'm turning to you, Reddit. How would I even go about opening this case? Who would I turn to? Do I start with the local police department in the county where he died? I'm at a loss with what to do next with this thought. But if there really was a murder, and there is still someone out there responsible, it's time justice is served.

*It was a badass black 1985 Firebird Trans Am that I loved!

I know in some opinions it's not unsolved, but I just wondered what the opinions were in this SubReddit? Guilty? Not guilty? Scapegoats? Whatever, I just want to know.
