What led to the unfortunate situation of an exceptional young man, often described as the epitome of the "all-American boy," being arrested in North Korea and eventually returning home after seventeen months in a feeble and pitiable state? We delve deep into Otto Warmbier's story, examining the transition from a trip of a lifetime to an absolute nightmare. In the first part  of this harrowing account, we explored Warmbier's background, the reasons behind his visit to North Korea, and a comprehensive examination of his arrest. The government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) accused him of engaging in espionage on behalf of the United States of America.

What unfolded during Warmbier's time in captivity, and how did h...

In Part 1 , we took a look at the at the Ramseys an their youngest daughter was found in the basement of the family residence. She was bludgeoned, strangled and sexually assaulted. Her death was not easy, or instantaneous. In Part 2, we will explore how the police botched the investigation and what the autopsy revealed. JonBenét Ramsey posing for a pageant POLICE INVESTIGATION Police repeatedly failed in the JonBenét case. The first instance of negligence was the fact that police officers weren't the ones who actually discovered the body. The cellar door was locked when investigators were looking through the home, and as such, they decided not go there. Behind this door, as we remember, was the covered body of young JonBenét.  When Mr. Ramsey found, picked up and brought the body of his daughter, he contaminated the crime scene. Another failure on the police's part was that they left only one...
