The Death Behind the Filter: The Courtney Clenney Case and the Killing of Christian Obumseli

Little Dickies, There are some cases that feel less like crimes and more like collisions. Not just between two people, but between image and reality, attention and accountability, performance and consequence. The case of Courtney Clenney is one of those collisions. What happened inside a luxury Miami condominium on April 3, 2022, was not just a domestic dispute that turned deadly. It was the violent end of a relationship already spiraling in plain sight, unfolding in a world where perception is currency and the internet is perpetually obsessed with clicks. The Victim A Life, Not a Headline Christian Obumseli wasn’t a headline. He was a son, a brother, a young man with a future that should have stretched far beyond a Miami high-rise. Christian Obumseli was not a social media brand. He was not a persona curated for engagement. He was a son, a brother, and a young man whose life should have stretched far beyond a Miami high-rise...

The Disappearance of Jay Robert Ketter: A Family’s Search for Truth in Pittsburgh’s Allentown

The Disappearance of Jay Robert Ketter Allentown. February 2, 2025. And a silence that refuses to explain itself. Little Dickies, Some disappearances creep in quietly. This one broke routine so hard it echoed. This is not a cold case. Jay Robert Ketter has been missing since February 2, 2025. Someone knows something. Jay Robert Ketter did not slowly fade from his life. He did not drift. He did not detach. He vanished from the Allentown neighborhood of Pittsburgh on February 2, 2025, leaving behind a family that knew instantly something was wrong, and a case that would soon shift from missing to suspicious.

And then, suddenly, gone. The Basics That Matter Jay was last seen near the intersection of East Warrington Avenue and Arlington Avenue , a busy Hilltop corridor, not a dead end or forgot...

The Architecture of Loneliness: The Dennis Nilsen Case and the Systems That Failed

THE ARCHITECTURE OF LONELINESS Dennis Nilsen, Narrative Control, and the Systems That Let Him Work By Richie D. Mowrey Dicking Around With Richie: A True Crime Feed Little Dickies, THE CASE FILE OPENS Between 1978 and 1983, at least twelve men and boys were killed in North London by Dennis Nilsen. Some estimates place the number higher. The precise count matters less than the pattern: these were young, marginalized men, many unhoused, many estranged, many already invisible long before they encountered the man who would kill them. This was not a spree defined by spectacle. It was defined by silence . Nilsen did not hunt. He waited. He did not rage. He invited. And for five years, institutions mistook quiet for harmlessness and politeness for safety. INTO THE SHADOWS: STILLNESS AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR LOVE Dennis Nilsen’s crimes are often misunderstood because they do not fit the public’s preferred image of a serial killer...

The Disappearance of Ben Matthew Garrett: The Missing Men of Hanover and the Silence That Followed

Little Dickies, The Disappearance of Ben Matthew Garrett When Silence Becomes the Most Dangerous Evidence Ben Matthew Garrett did not slowly drift out of his life. He vanished. On May 21, 2025 , Ben Garrett, 36, was last heard from around 2:00 a.m. in Hanover, Pennsylvania . Shortly after, contact stopped entirely. What followed was not an immediate flood of alerts, press conferences, or community mobilization. What followed was silence. And in missing-person cases, silence is not neutral. It is destructive. This is a victim-centered investigation into Ben Garrett’s disappearance, the policies that delayed urgency, and the regional conditions that allowed uncertainty to take root. It is written with restraint, evidence, and purpose. Ben is not a headline. He is a person who deserves answers. WHO BEN GARRETT IS The Man Before the Mystery Ben Matthew Garrett , 36, has been missing ...
