Snow Hill, MD- In August 2009 www.blinkoncrime.com began an investigative series on the disappearance of Delaware resident and Mother of three, Christine Marie Sheddy.
Sheddy had been missing since November 2007 following a phone call to her best friend Jimmy Quail who offered to pick up her and her two young sons immediately.
With the help of Christine’s Mother’s dogged determination, the investigative efforts led to the recovery of Christine’s remains buried on the grounds of a Snow Hill bed and breakfast.
Murder charges were filed against Justin Hadel on the day Christine was found, February 20, 2010.
Hadel was convicted and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in September 2011.
It was through a failed plea obligation that Jr Jackson was able to be indicted by a grand jury yesterday and is now charged with first degree murder, as well as conspiracy to commit murder.
Tia Jackson, his long time girlfriend and cousin of Justin Hadel, is facing accessory after the fact charges in the removal and disposal of Christine Sheddy’s remains from the Byrd Rd farm where she was murdered.
Reached at the home where she and her husband Steve are now raising Christine’s children Haylie, Isaac and Zeke, Lynn Dodenhoff was not surprised in the least.
..”I told you Christine always had one more thing to say.. and today she did.
My family and I look forward to justice being served to all parties involved in my daughters murder..”
Dodenhoff began writing to Christine upon the advice of a grief counselor and shared her letter from yesterday exclusively: (more…)

June- Disappearance of Jacque Waller, wife of former cop and general con man Clay Waller. Jacque has not been recovered, but Clay is in prison on unrelated charges currently and the couple’s children are in the custody of Jacque’s family. According to Clay’s dad , he has already confessed to her murder.
June -Successful prosecution resulting in a life sentence for the murder of Christine Sheddy, a 5 part cold case series developed in 2010 and featured on BOC for the purposes of progressing her case. Justen Hadel, one of the primary suspects in the case ending up confessing, and our information was correct that Christine was murdered on the Byrd road property. I spent a day on in 105 degree weather followed by a mini-hurricane on this hell-hole property I will never forget. I continue to seek justice in the hope a prosecution will follow for Clarence Jackson and Tia.
July/August 2011- Celina Cass missing, and recovery of her remains. While it is presumed a homicide, her cause of death has not been determined or released. Wendell Noyes, her stepfather is the only non-official person of interest. Celina’s mother left him while he underwent psychiatric care upon the news of Celina’s recovery. It is my solid opinion that Wendell is involved in Celina’s death and disposal of her remains in a water treatment (). There have been no arrests or indictments in this case to date.
August 19, 2011. West Memphis Three- Two days after I wrote a series about the murders of 3 8 year old boys in June of 1993 by 3 teenage boys known as the West Memphis Three, all three plead guilty to an alford plea after the state agreed to a deal proffered by the defense team, funded by the Hollywood elite. So far, Reese Witherspoon has been cast as Pam Hobbs, mother of Stevie Branch.

We featured the entire letter as a front page on the site, in support.
September 2011- The Susan Powell case- The roller coaster of we found remains, wait, not remains, but former remains in burned wood chips. The subsequent arrest of Susan’s freak in law
October 2011- The disappearance of Karen Swift, mother of four. Karen was located on December (), and has yet to have her autopsy completed or her remains released. Sheriff Box of the Dyer County Sheriffs Office has not named a suspect, but it is widely known that the primary person of interest is David Swift, Karen’s recently estranged husband.
Missing 10 month old Lisa Irwin- No new anything in this case, since Joe Tacopina of Joran VanDerSloot fame took the case to represent the parents. A lead developed from Deb Bradley’s phone produced a juggalo chic whose phone was called in what is believed to be in the middle of the alleged crime, and did ping close to the Irwin residence. Megan Wright’s former boyfriend known as Jersey was subsequently arrested for tampering with a vehicle. She claims not to know anything in the case and that her phone was used by several members of a household she was since asked to leave.
Amanda Knox Acquittal- what many did not know about the prosecutor will change most of your opinions in this case. Blink dubs Giuliano Mignini “The Mike Nifong” of Perusia.
Over 40 counts of child sexual abuse are filed in an indictment against former PSU offensive coordinator and Second Mile founder Jerry Sandusky.

Re: Identification of Human Remains
On February 26, 2010, the Office of the Medical Examiner for Maryland advised the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation that the human remains located in Snow Hill on February 19 were the remains of Christine Marie Sheddy.
Sheddy has been missing since November 14, 2007. Since that time, the case has been handled as a “missing person” case by the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation. Assisting in the investigation is the Maryland State Police and the Office of the State’s Attorney for Worcester County.
No cause of death has yet been determined. All involved law enforcement agencies are treating this as a suspicious death.
Because this is a pending investigation, no further details will be disclosed at this time.

Arrest of a Familiar Name
Not to correct SA Joel Todd, but Christine was last seen the evening of November 12, 2007, which is believed to be the night she was murdered at the Byrd Road Farm.
While I respect the release, I have first hand knowledge that 3 detectives from WCBI were removed from this case so you will not find me congratulating that agency. Out of respect for Christine and her family, I will leave it at that for now.
Justin Michael Hadel, a guest at the farm home shared by Clarence “Jr” Jackson and his girlfriend Tia Johnson, was arrested yesterday in Tomball, Texas on a child obligation and fugitive warrant.
There is no further comment on any possible involvement in Christine’s murder.
Clarence Jackson is currently incarcerated in Hawkins County, TN for a burglary and arson conviction.
Check back to blinkoncrime for this developing story.
Snow Hill, MD– As we await confirmation from the Baltimore Medical Examiners Office regarding the remains recovered from the rear property of the Riverside Inn on February 19th:
Lynn Doddenhoff, Christine’s Mom, wishes to make the following statement.
We DO NOT have confirmation that the remains found in Snow Hill are Christine, but we remain hopeful that they will be identified as such.
When Blink and her team became involved in Christine’s case we were at a dead end.
Thanks to Blink’s efforts, public awareness was raised to a level that forced law enforcement to take a second look at her
disappearance.
Christine, my family and Blink have endured many personal attacks we never deserved.
As we await word from the medical examiners office, we ask that you please pray for our family and the entire Blink team.
Without the tenacity of their work Christine’s case would never have received the attention she deserves.
This will be the only statement I will make until official confirmation is made.
Justin Michael Hadel, a guest at the farm home shared by Clarence “Jr” Jackson and his girlfriend Tia Johnson, was arrested yesterday in Tomball, Texas on a child obligation and fugitive warrant.
