Roy
Roy had everything taken from him. His wife, his kids, his home. He had to chase the rush; he doesn’t want to live dollar to dollar anymore. They’ll come back once he has completed his mission. His brother, Jon, doesn’t have anyone dependant on him. He has only ever had to look out for himself, which has come with a lot of recklessness but he wouldn’t hunt for the high with anyone else. 1:17 AM, security guard change over, Jon walks into the casino dressed as a dealer, takes an empty table and springs into action. He is the distraction; all Roy has to do is get into the back room whilst their attention is on Jon. It’s working, the security guards don’t recognise him, within seconds, the once empty table is swarmed. Roy rushes towards the staff-only door but it’s locked. No sweat, he can pick this. He scrambles through his bag to find his tools but freezes when he hears Jon’s voice. “Over there.” Roy doesn’t want to turn around. He already knows. He can feel Jon’s finger acting as the knife in his back. Roy flashes a piercing, betrayed look at Jon as the handcuff lock clicks.

Shannon Lloyd And Renee Cuaves: The Double Homicide Solved After Nearly Four Decades
Over the last decade, technology has advanced exceptionally. The possibilities today are endless and the advantage it gives in all aspects in life is notable. In crime, the police are now able to solve murders that went cold years ago with evidence that has been preserved. New technologies and investigative practices can not only further a case and hopefully lead to a resolution but it gives victims' families reassurance that law enforcement will continue to look for answers. From submitting dated evidence for forensic testing, to using genetic genealogy the power of scientific analysis has evolved vastly.
