Crack! The baseball flew off the bat as the runner sprinted towards first base. It was a decent hit to left field, but the batter was happier than normal to get on base. This was because Cameron Miller, a retired MLB baseball star and maybe the best player to ever play for the Baltimore Orioles, was watching the game. This was at Brill Park, Cameron’s Little League park, where he practically lived in his youth. The Orioles were retiring Miller’s number, 19, and Miller wanted to be at the park where he grew up. Miller had dirty blond hair with a hint of grey - he was 43, almost 44. He had tan skin, blue eyes, and a warm smile. Today he was donned in blue jeans and an orange t-shirt under a black Orioles sweatshirt. It was a crisp March afternoon …show more content…
First, we will need to go to the scene of the crime.” “I am so sorry about this,” marveled Elizabeth Fisher, “I can’t think of how it happened. Well, here is the storage room, you can inspect it, Ms. Miller.” “Is there any evidence, Cristina?” questioned Cameron nervously as he looked around the room. It was pretty much the only place that he didn’t recognize from when he was a kid- very few were allowed in the storage building, for safe keeping of course. “There were three people,” commented the detective as she was intently scanning the ground, “by the looks of it one tall, about 6’4, one medium, about 5’11, and one short, about 5’7. But that’s all we know.” For the next couple of hours, Cristina Miller went around interviewing people, gathering evidence, trying to find a lead, and trying to find suspects. But nothing turned up, she couldn’t unearth any information. As Cristina walked back to the storage building, tired and frustrated, she overheard a couple of teenaged voices talking around the corner. “Man, that Miller jersey must be worth fifty thousand dollars!” one exclaimed, and Cristina could practically see the boy’s hands rubbing
An emergency call comes in at 9:45 am from Doug Greene. He discloses that his neighbor and recently ended love interest, Anna Garcia, a well developed thirty-eight-year-old hispanic has been skipping routinely morning walks and that the last time he saw her was at 6:30 am on August 13th. Since her dogs were unusually barking, it sparked concern in Greene. The call brought police to Garcia’s home who found her dead lying face down on her entry hallway at 9:56 am. It is 10:20 am on August 14th when police are securing the crime scene.
He accepted the challenge, and trying to face the adversity to come with it, because baseball meant the world to him, even though he was a very good student with a 4.0 g.p.a. It’s a week later, on a Friday night when it was raining cats and dogs, James’ best friend since kindergarten Wesley Frazier (who also plays with James on the baseball
A strong, hard, free hitter was needed by that team, and General Joe Jackson filled the bill. With a total batting average of less than ten points below the one Cobb has framed in the American League in thirteen seasons, Joseph stands as the only batsman who seems to have a chance to reach and perhaps surpass the mark set by the peerless
A relief pitcher spent 19 seasons pitching, for the New York Yankees, while also striking out the best hitters in baseball with his signature pitch, “a cut fastball”, this pitcher is Mariano Rivera; the five time World Series champion is now an author. Rivera tells about how he made his way from Puerto Caimito, a poor fishing village in Panama, to the pitcher’s mound at the Yankee’s Stadium, in “The Closer”. He talks about his life back in Puerto Caimito, he says “my first 17 years we lived on the shore of the Gulf of Panama, in a dingy two-room house on a dirt road, just a long toss from the fish-meal plant.” He said “by the time I came around in 1969, the house had gotten several upgrades—electricity and water—but still no bathroom,” he says
The result of this technique indicated that the victim was killed between October 9 and 13. Using three different techniques they obtained very similar data. The last piece to solve this puzzle was to identify the victim. They got a fingerprint from the victim but there was not a match in the database. They move on into the missing people report in which they found a woman name, Darlene Smith who matched all of their forensic evidence.
Criminal Minds AP Language and Composition Period 3 Ms.Burke 14 March 2016 As with any other murder case that comes to surface, conspiracies will be right around the corner. No matter what the unknown truth may be, or the amount of witnesses and DNA that is available, the twisted theories will rise and grow, just as the case does. Taking a look at the murder case of Teresa Halbach, with number one suspect, Steven Avery you see a tumble of theories jolting together. Breaking it down to only one hard piece of evidence- the blood vial found in the sealed box.
In a tragic series of events, 36 year old Gaven Brooks was brutally murdered, by means of a single gunshot to the back of his head, and later found in a field twenty miles north of the town he lived in. Investigators are trying to piece together exactly what happened by using the evidence gathered from the crime scene, and from information given to them by means of close friends and relatives. The evidence collected were wine glasses, paper plates filled with half eaten food, a cigarette butt, a yellow queen-sized sheet, a bottle of red wine, shoe print markings left in the dirt road, and Mr. Brooks’ car which was found abandoned in a parking lot in downtown Centerville. There are six potential suspects all of which are female, the list includes
When she called the police on November 2nd, Knox described a robbery and the victims locked room. Apparently, the culprit had broken a window in one of the other girls´ rooms to get in; however, according to four witnesses, the glass from the broken window was laying on top of the scattered objects in the room (Linder, 2023, para. 7). Based on deductive reasoning, the room was ransacked previous to the broken window, further proving it as a cover-up for some illicit act. Furthermore, numerous valuables, objects the “culprit” would have stolen, remained spread around the room in plain sight during the investigation (Ott, 2020, para. 13). Clearly, Knox attempted to cover an illegal act using a staged robbery gone horribly wrong.
Andrea Douglas-Brown was a young woman who seemed to have everything going for her: wealth, beauty, and youth, yet this façade of her perfect life came crashing down with the discovery of her dead body frozen in the ice. This quarter, I have been reading Robert Bryndza’s novel The Girl in the Ice, and I have finished reading this book. Detective Erika Foster has been called to lead the investigation on the murder of this young socialite. While others look for obvious, black and white solutions, DCI Foster sees the complexity of this case.
She had light blond hair, wore a jacket, jeans, gloves, and tall boots. People identified her as Vanessa Sanchez, age 17. On the desk that she was near, there was a calculator, lipstick, lamp, and a flip phone with a smear of blood on it. There was another table seven meters away from Vanessa
When he did this, many people went against him. They told him things such as, you don't belong here and get out of here. However, others cheered him on such as his wife, friends, and other African Americans. Jackie Robinson later died on October 24, 1972 at the age of 52. He will definitely always be remembered and never be forgotten.
On May 30 he became a permanent starter. On July 1, Cal was moved to the position of shortstop. He loved this position and would thrive at it. People doubted the move due to his size (6’4 225 pounds), despite the doubt the Orioles had a successful season. In Cals rookie year he finished with 28 home runs with 93 RBIs.
You couldn't murder two people in such a violent and bloody way and not leave some sort of evidence behind” (Preston 102). The group of teens wanted to go back themselves to see if they could trace back the footsteps of last night and see the crime scene again. But, when they arrived the whole house had been taped off. As Mackenzie thought about it more, an isolated cabin is a very good spot to clandestinely kill two teens and get away with it, or at least for
First home run Crack! The ball flew off the bat and went as high as a bird in the sky. Aaron is a young 11 year old boy who loves playing baseball whenever he can. Every Time that he would step up to the plate he was always swing for the fence and dreamed about hitting the ball over and seeing all the fans cheer as he rounded the bases. All of times Aaron had played he never had home run but was always close sometimes hitting the wall just short of the ball going over it: but today that was about to change.
In Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Miller’s Tale” he uses symbolism as a literary element to create an underlying Christian theme that portrays the characters in the story as biblical figures. Each character of the story represents a different figure from the bible such as, Nicholas and Alisoun representing Adam and Eve, John the carpenter representing a Great Divine and Absolon representing The Devil. Throughout the story, there are many different aspects that highlight the Christian theme and allow the readers to truly see this interpretation. Throughout the story readers may recognize the alignment between Nicholas and Alisoun and Adam and Eve.
