True Crime Murder Mystery Blog
“Tis strange – but true; for truth is always strange; stranger than fiction.”
It is said that everyone loves a good mystery.
But what is not said is that everyone also loves a good ending to the mystery. In the movies, the mystery is usually resolved after a couple of hours. In literature, the mystery can be solved at one’s own pace– a week, a month, a year, or more.
In real life, however, mysteries rarely evolve as shown on the screen or as written in books. Mysteries are almost never resolved before newstime or bedtime. Many have been solved, but others still lack an ending. Some will likely remain eternal mysteries.
While fiction is fine for some, real-life mysteries are rife and come in a cornucopia of forms. Whether it be crimes, kidnappings, cons, UFOs, buried treasures, the paranormal, or more, the rabbit hole runs deep. Join us in exploring those mysteries together.

I am a native Iowan now living in Arkansas. Growing up, I was intrigued by true crime/mystery shows and enjoyed researching the featured stories.
