  In 1931, San Diego's idyllic image as a beach town with peaceful suburbs concealed a harrowing reality: a series of unsolved crimes targeting women, fueling fear and vulnerability. Monsters on the Loose tells the tragic and true stories of three women murdered early that year: Virginia Brooks, Louise Teuber, and Hazel Bradshaw. 
   
   
   
  Local law enforcement, out-of-town criminologists, and investigators from what would become the FBI pursued hundreds of leads. Yet, the killer(s) were never identified and brought to justice. 
   
   
   
  In Monsters on the Loose, award-winning author and historian Richard L. Carrico pieces fragments of evidence together for three cold cases, shedding light on a dark chapter in San Diego's history. 
   
   
   
  More than ninety years after the murders, Carrico emerges as an advocate for the victims, meticulously reconstructing their stories. Immersed in dusty files, long-forgotten oral histories, and investigation records, his primary objective remains unwavering: to seek justice for the three young women. With no witnesses to the crimes, the significance of circumstantial evidence and speculation became paramount. 
   
   
   
  And he may have even solved one of the murders. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  This is the story of how James lost his son to The Navy in 2015 and the events that followed. Henry Price was happy and filled with ambition and a love for life, like most young men his age. He enlisted in the military after high school in hopes of getting the free college GI Bill to follow his dreams. He joined the Navy with hopes and aspirations but had no idea what would happen when he got posted in Japan. This story follows the events that happened after his death and how different gold star families of our fallen servicemen are treated if they haven’t died in the line of duty. Henry was returned in the cargo hold of a United Airlines flight from Seoul to Chicago. No Military guard unloaded the plane, just the poor baggage handlers sweating in the tropical heat. His body was inside a wooden crate, no flag, nothing. This is a story of a gold star family and how they deal with the death of their beloved son.

  Simón Bolívar - The Latin...

  Simón Bolívar, born Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar, was a prominent Venezuelan military and political leader who played a pivotal role in the liberation of several South American countries from Spanish colonial rule. Bolívar's full name, a reflection of the Spanish naming tradition, encompassed multiple middle names, highlighting his family's social status. His leadership and vision helped Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Bolivia secure their independence from the Spanish Empire during the early 19th century. 
  Bolívar was born into a wealthy, aristocratic family in Caracas, Venezuela. As was customary for the sons of affluent families at the time, he was sent abroad to receive his education. Initially, he traveled to Spain and later to France, where he encountered Enlightenment ideals that deeply influenced his political and philosophical beliefs. These ideas, particularly the notions of liberty and self-determination, fueled his desire to rid Latin America of Spanish control. Bolívar’s campaign for independence began in earnest in 1808, seizing the opportunity presented by the political instability in Spain caused by the Napoleonic Wars. This chaos allowed Bolívar and other revolutionaries to push forward their independence efforts.
