  • The D.A.s office in Wise County has jurisdiction over Jack County. Their murder caseload just increased.

  • I don't know who the PR agent is for Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, but I want him What a makeover.

  • Time which has passed since the Wise County Sheriff's Office, despite having a full male DNA profile, has failed to solve the murder of Lauren Whitener in her home at Lake Bridgeport: 4 years and 291 days.
