Don't date, don't drive, and never, ever buy tickets

Monte Carter
Another online-dating murder?! Jennifer Conyers, 32, was murdered and her house set on fire allegedly by a guy she met online.* She was murdered Friday and Monte Delano Carter, 38, was arrested Saturday, driving her car and with blood *still* on his pants and shoes. FWIW he (allegedly) used her ATM card to get cash and buy stuff he traded for heroin. How about instead of doing a background check on someone before dating them, just never dating anyone ever.



Also on Friday, a shooting on Homestead St.


Really, Daily Record?! "Capital Punishment Already Dead in Maryland" ... just because a crass headline comes over the wire it doesn't mean you have to publish it, geeze

"Just give us the cash, yo." Nice-guy Medfield robbers let a victim keep his wallet, reports the Patch.

Haha, winning. The Sun obtains the Mayor's office's bitchy emails about speed camera coverage.* Also, Larry Young of WOLB apparently helped provide the Mayor's office with "talking points." Shady.

Carl Stokes wants to vacate the never-enforced law that bars high event-ticket surcharges.

Not Baltimore, but worth a mention: MSN claims that Christopher Dorner, a guy allegedly stalking and targeting members of the LAPD, is the "first drone target on U.S. soil." Not true, that honor goes to one Rodney Brossart of North Dakota. Also unless the drone is equipped with Hellfire missiles, not sure how it is any different than using a helicopter.

Meet the two old white guys who will be head of the Tribune Co. .. apparently the CEO sees the news audience as old and male, so which came first? Does the news reflect old male perspectives because old males are the primary consumer, or are old males the primary consumer because the news is from an old male perspective?

I am so sad to hear about that young lady getting killed like that. That is a got damn shame. Her life was cut short by a damn dope fiend. See, that's why every time I meet a new guy, I run his info through Md Case Search. You can never be too careful.

Even so.. he's got drug & burglary charges, but no charges for more than a decade. I could see a completely cautious and reasonable person searching him and believing that maybe he had issues as a youth but that all his troubles were in the past. It's fckn terrifying. And how about Lois Jean Vance Smyth, dating someone she'd known in high school? ... I don't know what a single person is to do, other than to read "The Gift of Fear" and be hypersensitive to anything that doesn't seem right. And even then, how hard is it for a person to seem normal for a date or two?

Always always check the case search. If you are too pious to check, have your mother do it. You are a super fool not to take minor preventive measures that could be the difference between your life and death.

Oh for sure-- and also keep in mind that he could still have priors in other states, or still be a crazy pervy psycho who just hasn't gotten caught yet.

I am really annoyed that they are not reporting which dating web site it was-- might have to call Anthony G. and ask him myself. Not that it's necessarily the site's fault, just curious. My $$'s on "Christian Mingle"

Oh, and in the last Sun article about Lois Jean Smyth Vance Morman, here sister admits the family forwarned her about her boyfriend. She didn't listen.

If one looks at the 2013 Hall of Fame, Melissa Davis had a long history of abuse with her husband, Rockelle Harper's boyfriend had a violent recent past, and Katie Hadel was told specifically by the County police to stay far away from her apartment. And Detroit is currently peeling back the ugly details surrounding Jennifer Scavone's baby daddy.

You ain't Katherine Hepburn, and this isn't The African Queen.

Maurice Bradbury said...

I have no clue what the "African Queen" comment even refers to but it's funny anyway. All I remember from that movie is Katherine Hepburn dragging that boat and a bunch of leeches.

Quick recap: Katherine Hepburn was a righteous church marm, and Humphrey Bogart was a dangerous whiskey-swilling bad boy. Katherine Hepburn showed Humphrey the error of his ways through prayer and bible-thumping, and they fell in love as they sailed down the dangerous river on the African Queen while battling the Germans and the leeches.
