There is an unconfirmed report circulating online at the moment that the body of Paige Birgfeld has been found. Birgfeld, a Grand Junction, Colorado resident, disappeared in June of 2007 and with little for police to go by, the case went cold. Birgfeld, a 34-year old mother was headed to see her ex-husband the same day she vanished. According to reports, the two were in talks about reviving their relationship. The following day, Birgfeld’s automobile was discovered ablaze in a parking lot. Police weren’t able to recover many clues from the scene. When a search team was dispatched to try and locate any of Birgfeld’s belongings, volunteers were able to recover membership cards and the like from a Highway median. Eventually, a gun was also discovered. Since that time, police have come across very little in the case, and as we might imagine, this poor woman’s family continues to wonder what might have happened.

Birgfeld was a successful business women that operated a successful acupuncture business up until her disappearance. Perhaps her successful career could have made her a prime target for criminals. We will have to wait and see whether or not the Paige Birgfeld Body Found story is confirmed. We can’t imagine how eager Birgfeld’s family must be to finally get some closure in this horrible disappearance. Updates as they become available.

The news of this tragic suicide follows a string of otherwise unfortunate events, including the murder-suicide of Joseph Stack, a Texan man, who after having argued with his wife crashed a plane into an IRS office based in Texas. Stack left self-written literature behind for police to investigate, literature which largely highlights his disgust with the inner-workings of the United States government. Investigations into Stack’s background revealed a number of failed business ventures and periods of financial instability, including one instance where he had to relocate from California to Texas. It appears that Joseph Stack was also frustrated with the lack of engineering jobs available in the Texas area shortly before his death. His wife, Sheryl Stack, denied that Joseph was perceived of being capable of anything that he executed.

Whether it’s the economic mess that is causing all of these tragedies or not, we hope people continue forward while recovery efforts move forward. We are all more or less feeling the strains of this tough climate, but desperate actions such as the one’s you’ve read about above are never the answer.

Korbe, 40, had her two children by her side when her home was invaded by investigators. Her attorney claims that this was sufficient grounds for Christina Korbe to shoot Hicks. Christina Korbe claims that the officers never identified themselves as being part of the police department. Thus, she claims, she might had mis-identified Hicks as an intruder and thus proceeded to shoot him.

Christina Korbe’s husband is mentioned in an indictment alongside 35 other suspected drug traffickers. Christina Korbe’s husband was in court yesterday, being represented by a court-appointed attorney.

Our condolences go out to Sam Hick’s family. This is indeed a tragedy, and something that requires more investigation. As far as Christina Korbe goes, we can only hope she is tried to the full extent of the law as is her husband. However, what occurred requires further investigation as we can only guess as to her motives behind shooting the special agent.

Amanda Collette, a 15 year old pupil from Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida fell victim to a

school shooting today, and unfortunately perished soon after she was discovered in a school hallway. Officials described Amanda Collette as “unresponsive” when discovered in the hallway.

Amanda Collette was a sophomore at Dillard High School up until this tragic incident today. A school official discovered Amanda Collette in the hallway of her high school. The official, a resource officer, came across Amanda’s body sometime around 11 a.m. Amanda was later confirmed to be dead.

Police may already have a suspect in Amanda Collette’s murder. An unidentified 15 year old girl, believed to be a student at Dillard High School, was retained for questioning by authorities.

Police are rather baffled as to how Amanda Collette may have been killed. No staff members nor students at Dillard High School reported hearing gunshots or other strange noises. The girl’s body also failed to furnish any evidence as to what may have caused her death. Although some media outlets are reporting that Amanda Collette was indeed shot, it is not clear at this time whether these reports are accurate.

Update: Fort Lauderdale police officials have confirmed that Amanda Collette was killed by a gunshot. They believe the shooter, who has yet to be identified, used a small caliber gun to commit the murder. The incident is believed to have only involved one female student from the school.

A sophomore at the school alleges that he saw the conflict unfold. Stephan Willis claims he was watching two girls in the hallway, one of them being Amanda Collette, arguing in the hallway. The other unidentified female allegedly furnished a gun and proceeded to shoot her classmate. Willis had known the victim since primary school.

Amanda Collette’s alleged killer was apprehended by police at a local restaurant. The police were able to retrieve the weapon used in the killing.

Although Dillard High School was placed in a lockdown state shortly following the shooting, it has since resumed its regular glass schedule. Dillard High School currently boasts a student body of some 1,700 students. The campus is guarded by security staff and is also monitored by security cameras.

This is indeed a sad story and our hearts go out to the Collette family. We can only hope that this situation increases security oversight in schools. We will be watching this story as more details unfold.

UPDATE: The unidentified girl police apprehended at a local restaurant was charged with Amanda Collette’s murder. Teah Wimberly, a student at the school, was charged with first degree murder and discharging a weapon on school grounds. Teah Wimberly is said to be cooperating with investigators.

When police arrested Wimberly at the restaurant, thanks to the help of a concerned local resident, she was found in possession of a firearm. Investigators believe that the shooting stemmed from a conflict between the two students.

A sophomore student at the school claims that Amanda Collette was attempting to purchase something from a vending machine when she was shot by Wimberly. Wimberly was said to like Collette, however Collette allegedly didn’t want to associate with the fellow classmate.

After found in the hallway, Amanda Collette was taken to nearby Broward General Medical Center. She was pronounced dead at the center.

Propertyroom.com has allowed departments nationwide to showcase their goods online, and thus hopefully make profit from them. Some departments that have already started participating in propertyroom.com include some from Cincinnati and Hamilton. Most items require that a prospective buyer place a bid, after all this is an auction site. However, you some items also have a buy it now feature where the purchaser can directly purchase the item.

Those that have used propertyroom.com have praised it as a real money saver. One customer saved nearly $350 by choosing to purchase an item from propertyroom.com.

Propertyroom.com is the brainchild of a police detective from New York. He noticed that many departments were losing money when trying to sell the items they had on hand in their property rooms.

Those that may see items stolen from there home on the site can actually get them back. However, there is a catch involved. You do indeed have to verify in one form or another that the item was once yours. If not, it is still up for grabs by anyone who is willing to place a bid for it on propertyroom.com.

Propertyroom.com has a large assortment of many different items. One can buy anything from a dehumidifier, to a television set. Police agencies that use the service don’t auction off all of the items in their property rooms. Some items that don’t fall within a certain criteria are typically destroyed.

We think propertyroom.com is an excellent idea and one that should have been purused sooner. It’ll ease up the resources departments need to use to auction items they have on hand and also allow them to garner more profits from them when it comes time to auction them off. Overall, propertyroom.com is truly worth a look and a service we’d consider using.

Many of the items we took a peek at looked to be really undervalued. If you happen to need anything, whether it be for your home or a gift, we encourage you to head over to propertyroom.com to check out their inventory. You will be impressed and will return for more.
