The 1973 Death of Madeleine Leonard is still an Unsolved Murder 52 Years Later

The 1973 Death of Madeleine Leonard is still an Unsolved Murder 52 Years LaterIf a spouse dies in a suspicious car accident after a person is murdered, the procedure involves immediate police notification, scene preservation, evidence collection, autopsy, a thorough investigation including a negative investigation to determine the cause of death and any potential criminal involvement. This investigation was never done, therefore; we demand our Mom’s highly suspicious car accident be investigated as a homicide as the police do nothing and will not investigate it because they are afraid of the people involved.

Spring training is in full swing (Get it? Swing!)

The 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) season is in full swing. Starting on Feb. 20, the Cubs played the Dodgers in the first spring training game of the season. The rest of the teams will start the dates of Feb. 21 and 22.  The offseason has grown anticipation for some fan bases, and disappointed others. One of the most surprising trades of the postseason was Juan Soto being traded from the New York Yankees to the New York Mets, fifteen years making 765 million dollars.  “When the Mets first announced Soto as an option, I didn’t really want him because they were going to spend so much money. But, when he came to the Mets, I was thrilled and realized what a great decision Steve Cohen made by spending that much on him. He just wants to win which is great. I think they will have a great season!” says Paul Malachowsky,  math department teacher.
