I was on the War on Crime Blog Radio show again on Wednesday night. The hosts were Levi Page and Susan Milano-Murphy. Click here to hear the show.

War On Crime Radio

One of the cases we discussed was the case of Lilly Aramburo, a young mother of a now 2 year-old son who has been missing in Florida since June of 2007. One of the callers into the show was a close friend of Lilly's and she spoke about how frustrating it has been to get the Miami Police to focus on the case and treat it like a possible homicide case and not a missing person case. Unfortunately this is all too common with police departments nationwide, when a young mother goes missing, it doesn't matter what her backgrond, social class or race is, the police have to treat it like a homicide case not just a missing person case. Given the absurd story Lilly's boyfriend told the police,she left in the middle of the night in her pajames, wearing no shoes and carrying two bungee cords, supposedly to go pick flowers, the police should have immediately treated this as a possible homicide. It's sad to say that too many cases go uninvestigated because of preconceived notions about the victim by the police or even outright racism.

Please log onto a website set up for Lilly to find out more information and to help pressure the police and prosecutors to properly investigate the case.

With no body, prosecutors try to prove murder

By GENE JOHNSON

Without a body, traces of blood or other physical evidence, the Whatcom County Prosecutor's Office will try to prove that a former Bellingham man killed his wife 18 years ago.

Prosecutor Dave McEachran filed a charge of first-degree murder this week against Bruce Allen Hummel, whose wife, Alice, disappeared from their Bellingham home in 1990. For years, Hummel lied about the circumstances of her disappearance, telling their teenage children at the time that their mom had left them. Detectives say he even sent them presents purporting to be from her.

It was only in the last few years, when questioned by police, that Hummel admitted she was dead. He then fled, living in campgrounds around the Northwest and eventually settling in the coastal Washington town of Westport, where authorities tracked him down in late 2006. He's currently serving a federal prison term for cashing nearly $300,000 in his wife's disability benefits after she died.

Prosecutors believe he killed his wife because she confronted him about molesting their daughter.

After the conclusion of the Hans Reiser case, another Oakland "no body" trial:

Trial OK'd for Thanksgiving murder with no body

OAKLAND, Calif.—For the second time this year Alameda County prosecutors are trying a murder case with one critical piece of evidence missing: a body.

A judge on Wednesday ruled that while a body has never been found in the Thanksgiving 2004 murder of 48-year-old Cynthia Alonzo, there is still enough evidence to try 52-year-old Eric Mora.

Prosecutors say that Alonzo's blood was detected in Mora's home and he had a cut on his hand.

The case comes about three months after computer programmer Hans Reiser was convicted of murdering his estranged wife, Nina Reiser. The location of Nina Reiser's body wasn't known until after Reiser was convicted and he led authorities to it.

Mora's attorney William Du Bois says his client is innocent and charges are being filed because of Reiser's case. Du Bois also represented Reiser.

Prosecutors say they have a good case against Mora.
