TCB special edition: crime posts that were posted on my birthday (September 5th). Yes, I'm bored and a lot of people haven't updated recently.

An older post on Crime, Interrupted features information regarding Christoper Coan, an 18-year-old boy that disappeared from Utah. The Mysterious Disappearance of Christopher Coan contains his physical description along. He was last seen leaving his place of work and his family is still looking for him. Since he was 18 at the time that he disappeared he is considered an adult and as a result the FBI wouldn't search for him. However, Coan's parents don't believe that their son would simply pick up and leave. They have set up a Myspace page for him where they encourage anyone with information regarding his disappearance to come forward.

Screwing Anna Nicole one last time is a subtle title for a post on Crime Rant featuring the now deceased Anna Nicole Smith. After her death Rita Cosby released a book entitled Blonde Ambition, which was supposed to be an expose on the Playboy model's life but in reality is just cashing in. Cosby also went on Bill O'Reilly in order to promote the book. Which seems odd. Even for O'Reilly.
