This blog is going to focus on an unsolved homicide from Vicksburg, MI.  For anyone who may not be aware Vicksburg, MI is a small town about 15 mins south of Kalamazoo, MI.  Vicksburg is a typical small town in MI, people know each other and small town secrets are kept.  Such is the case with the homicide of this gentle soul, Erik Cross.  Here is a little bit of history about the Cross family.  The family originated from the Grand Blanc, MI area, they moved to Vicksburg, MI for a job opportunity the elder Mr. Cross had in Vicksburg.  

Imagine, as a parent, walking out to retrieve the Sunday Paper and finding your child mangled at the end of your driveway.  That is what happened to this poor family.  

Below are the facts known and can confirm as fact:
  • June 25, 1983 a graduation party was held near Erik Cross's home. 
  • Erik was seen flirting with Amber Thomas at the party (Brenton Spaulding's girlfriend at the time).
  • Erik was seen leaving the party at approximately 0100 on June 26, 1983.
  • Erik was seen talking to people parked at an old grocery store parking lot on his route home.
  • Erik continued the walk to his home and tried obtaining entry into his home, but the door was locked.  
  • Erik was approached by people, with poor intentions.
  • Between the hours of 0115 and 0530 Erik was:
    • Severely beaten
    • Tied to a car and dragged
    • Run over by said car
    • Left in driveway to die
  • Erik's father walked to get the morning paper and found his son in the roadway.
  • A neighbor who worked at the hospital attempted to revive Erik, but it was too late.
  • In 2016 5 persons of interest were named:
    • Brenton Spaulding
    • Amber Thomas
    • Bill Cook
    • Tim Martin
    • Brian Spaulding (Brenton's Father)
  • NOBODY has been charged in this case
  • The case is currently in the hands of the Attorney General's Office.
If you know something please come forward, all that may be needed is a small piece of information to allow this family to see justice.

Building a Business

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback on the TV interview.  Many people have texted, messaged and phoned nice comments. I appreciate all of you for the kind words. I am going to provide a little background on me, without sharing a lot of personal information.  I have a M.A in Forensic Psychology and a MSW.  In other words, I am educated.  However, going through the motions of business building is not easy.  Someone texted me and told me I needed an editor for my blog.  I asked if my grammar was atrocious and they provided their opinion of "its not great".  Sure my grammar is not 100%, however I enjoy the authenticity of my blog, this is me.  I guess my point is maybe I need thicker skin too, unsolicited opinions will come often.  The next aspect of my business world is marketing.  Ironically, marketing starts with a "M" just like money.  I need a webpage, those are incredibly expensive.  Go Daddy is 1800$ to build a webpage, I am sure the page would

Networking

By nature I am socially awkward, I would prefer to be in my house with my dog blogging (ha!).  Starting a business and living life in todays world, I have to come out of "my cave" so to speak. The other day I thought how can I get Jae Investigations name out there?  One thought I had was contacting local news stations, perhaps a station would like to develop a piece on the importance of staying safe in todays dating world.  Thankfully, Fox News 17 responded to my inquiry.  We had an interview scheduled for yesterday, however had to reschedule for 2/13.  I am thankful for this opportunity, thank you Fox17! Another piece of networking is meeting people, again socially awkward, I put my "big girl pants on" and went to an event.  At this networking event I was able to hand my card to several people, which is important to build business.  My hope is to garner some business from attending these events, if I don't gain business I can say I tried.  Jae Investiga

Avoid Scammers

Often we hear of people who talk with others on line and are scammed.  These are scary and real scenarios in the dating world.  The days of "courting" may be over *sigh*.  Here are 2 examples of questions to ask to help identify if someone you are talking with may be running a scam.  Although scams are highlighted more in the news, there are married people on these sites too.  This blog will focus on scams, the cheaters can be another day. Now, I am not saying all of these scenarios are scams, rather things to investigate. Perhaps the person you talking with is living on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean, working to get to America on a Visa or a medical professional working internationally.  This could be a reality, a lot of people do this.  Below are two examples of questions you may want to ask your potential date. What high school did you attend?  Why ask this, see below Gives you ability to find person on the internet and "humanize" them. In the
