Dateline Needs Your Stories

[Tricia]

Dateline is ALWAYS looking for stories. True Crime/Cold Case stories just like we have on Websleuths.

Daniel Slepian told me personally he reads every single email so keep them coming!!

His email is: Daniel.Slepian@nbcuni.com

Don't be shy. One of our members told Dateline about the Barbara Winn case and it was featured on Dateline May Friday May 23rd. Read about the case here; http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sho...t=Barbara+Winn

I have been emailing Daniel periodically with case suggestions.

What about the fact that in WA state there are no laws preventing sex offenders from working near a school. Only prevents where they live.

I know of a case that may be widely viewed or even read about should an author of reknown wish to take it on. The only book done on this case did not receive a good review, because quite frankly he spent far too much time on the court proceedings the appeals, etc. the fine line of the various legalities, rather then her background information or details of the crime itself.

It was one of the first cases I suppose that the Federal Govt. decided to prosecute for a murder linked to mail fraud in Baltimore, using various techniques we hear about with Mafiaoso types of cases I suppose.

The story of a tiny 5 ft. tall woman, who was widely regarded in her youth as a kind of icon herself, who turned out later to be addicted to gambling and murdered for this reason to sustain her addiction.

Married several times, all of which she ruined by her addiction to gambling.
Her own father had been murdered on the rough streets of Baltimore and he himself, was a recreational gambler.
She had no mother that she knew or who loved her , however the author didn't even go into the real details of her background.

I knew her personally, growing up with her and could add some small amounts of info regarding her half sister, where they lived and how "little Nancy" must have been terribly wounded by this rebuke by her own biological mother so that her father alone raised her, best he could.
He (from everything I could recall) was a wonderful dad, perhaps as most back in the 1960s, went out of his way to try and be both mom and dad to this young girl, who he raised as an only child.

Here is the background info. of the Little Nancy story should any author wish to take it on.
I did a long time ago, try to reach two authors, one Ann Rule the other via FB Aprhodite Jones? , but no response from either party. Perhaps they are too rich now.

I heard through the grapevine that a 48Hrs. Reporter was taking notes during the trial from another old friend who attended every hearing.

There is so much to this story that has not been touched upon or revealed, a tragedy for certain, with many victims, not the least her two very much loved daughters .

I'd be happy to speak of the wonderful memories I have of both Nancy and her dad if any author is interested, as well, I could recommend her other childhood friends do the same, to cooperate with a more fully told story then heretofor has been written. Sometimes, it is "in the details" that the story needs to be told and thus far they are all missed.

This is the book I would have to agree, did not do service to her background or story:

Since I cannot post a thread anywhere else due to lack of privileges, I thought that I would post it here.

This morning I read about a triple homicide that ended up in a gun battle with police in Alabama. The shooter was killed but not before an officer was shot, he was in critical condition at the time of the article. See article here.

So I googled the character, "Romero Roberto Moya" and found this article about he and his buddy caught dealing cocaine about 1 and 1/2 years prior. They were also carrying a hand gun. This almost certainly the same guy as the two articles mention two towns that are less than 10 miles apart.

How is it that these two, busted dealing a Kilo of cocaine and twelve grams of "ICE" (crystal methamphetamine, aka "Meth") and carrying a hand gun are walking around less than 1 and 1/2 years later to do a triple murder with an AK-47 and have a shoot out with police?

Something is very wrong here!

Looks like I wrote this post almost 2 yrs ago, but never heard anything at all back for my efforts. I did send a lot of info over to the secretary via email at that time, at Dateline, but was disappointed to see they never bothered with this very interesting life story.

Actually it looks like I still have that NBC email, back & forth in my computer from that long ago.
