JonBenet Ramsey's father recalls slain daughter

JonBenet Ramsey's father, John Ramsey, has finally acknowledged what many Americans have long wanted to hear: He regrets showcasing his daughter in beauty pageants and parades.

Release is no relief for Casey Anthony

ORLANDO, Fla. -- This is what freedom looks like for Casey Anthony: $537.68 from her jail account, no job, estranged parents, a criminal record, lawsuits pending against her and the scorn of multitudes who think she got away with murder.

She quickly gave reporters the slip after walking out of jail Sunday, but whatever life she manages to build for herself will be lived under a media microscope and the shadow of countless threats.

Experts who have helped other notorious defendants through rough times say she will have opportunities as well, but it won't be easy for the 25-year-old, who was found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, but convicted of lying to investigators.

Return of daughter's remains 40 years later provides closure for mother

Last witness dies, leaving millionaire's murder unsolved

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The lifeless body was slumped on a living room couch. E.C. Mullendore III looked like a dirty rag doll, only it wasn't red earth from the millionaire rancher's spread that camouflaged his face.

It was his blood, and lots of it, retired Osage County Sheriff George Wayman said.

"He suffered a bad beating and was shot," Wayman said. "His whole skull was caved in."

It was a sight the 85-year-old Wayman said he never forgot.

On Sept. 26, 1970, Mullendore, 32, was killed while at home on his family ranch near Pawhuska. His death has remained a mystery with only one man knowing the truth of what occurred that night.

That man, Damon "Chub" Anderson, died Nov. 24. No charges have ever been filed in the case.
