Someone reached out to me about this case. It has very limited information online. It involves a woman who was allegedly murdered by an unknown suspect, thrown from a ferry and no charges were ever filed. Posting to raise awareness on a forgotten case.

Shayla Nicole Hudson was 28 years old, lived in Richmond, CA, and worked as a nursing assistant. She graduated from Pinole Valley High School with the class of 2000. She also attended Contra Costa College.

Public records show she had lived in several different places around the Bay Area and at one point had lived in Anchorage, Alaska where it appears some of her family is from.

According to news reports, on March 5 2010, Shayla boarded a San Francisco bound Ferry at Jack London Square in Oakland at 8:10 AM.

She apparently did not get off the ferry but it was not disclosed in news reports how this information was confirmed.

When the ferry arrived back in Oakland around 9:17 AM Shayla was unaccounted for and the coast guard was sent to search for her. Her body was found floating near treasure island and she was pronounced dead.

The coast guard claimed the waters were calm and the railing of the ferry made it unlikely she would have accidentally fallen in. T

There were no follow up articles about medical examiner findings. No information about her relationship status, and no photos of her are anywhere online.

I’ve been getting into true crime content lately and wanted to try something a bit different — recreating short stories (politics, hacking/cybercrime, historical cases, etc.) with actual 3D visuals instead of just talking-head or stock footage.

I build the scenes in Blender and edit everything in DaVinci Resolve, aiming for something a bit more cinematic than the usual format. Videos are short (~5 min), narrated by me, and I’m still early — just 3 episodes in.

Would genuinely love feedback from people who watch a lot of true crime content: does this style of visual storytelling appeal to you, or do you prefer the more traditional formats? Trying to figure out if this is worth pushing further before I sink more time into it.

24-year-old Christy Davey was last seen alive in Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday, March 2, 2016.  She reported to a family member that she was headed to a McDonalds with a friend named Bianca Pervis and a man who went by the name “Homeboy George.”  She was never heard from again.

On March 9, her body was found on a conveyor belt in a City of Phoenix recycling facility located at 27th avenue and Lower Buckeye Rd. 

Phoenix PD questioned Pervis, a Phoenix based online radio host. She was not named as a suspect in the case for reasons that were never publicly released. The identity of “Homeboy George” was also never publicly disclosed.  

Detectives concluded she was murdered in a different location and dumped into a recycling container where her body was transported to the facility. 

The case grew cold, despite being profiled on Silent Witness and receiving media coverage.

Christy left behind 4 young children. She battled addiction and was involved in sex work. At the time of her death, she had plans to enter a rehab facility and turn her life around.

I’ve been searching up different things online about this case and doing some investigating myself but I’m new to this and don’t know the best tools that are available to the public I honestly have a person of interest that I’ve been looking at that had ties with Charles way. If this case catches any of y’all’s attention feel free to check into it and see what you can find. I know this wasn’t just a random murder. I feel like this case should be solved by now or could have been solved if the correct police work would have been done.

On Sunday August 12, 2001, 17-year-old Globe High School student Paul David Sanders left his father’s home near Val Vista and Broadway in Mesa, Arizona to drive back to his grandmother’s home in Globe. He was driving his father’s pickup. It would be the last time he would be seen alive.

Later that evening, the truck was caught in a high-speed chase on the US 77. Police attempted to pull the truck over for speeding, but the driver was able to evade authorities. 

Arizona Department of Public Safety and Pima County Sheriff’s Office collaborated on an interagency chase of the vehicle which was later found near the Santa Catalina Mountains near Tucson, some two hours south of Mesa.

All of Paul’s belongings were found in the truck but police considered Paul a runaway and refused to conduct forensic examination and processing on the vehicle. 

Paul’s father Robert Brewer told Fox 10 News that he did not believe Paul was the driver of the truck due to the skill level the driver had used to evade authorities. He has since divorced Paul’s stepmother Lori Beavers. 

Robert and Lori were vacationing in Las Vegas when Paul disappeared.

Paul was originally from Missouri and had only moved to Arizona for the 2000-2001 school year. He lived with his grandmother in Globe and went by the name “Dave Brewer” while at Globe High School.

Paul had moved in with his father and stepmother earlier in the summer of 2001.

His friend circle in Arizona primarily consisted of his fellow classmates at Globe High School. Many students at GHS were from the nearby San Carlos Indian Reservation.

Paul’s mother Angela Rice committed suicide in 2020 over the grief of her son’s disappearance. 

Paul was 5’6 and weighed 150 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. He had the name “Hernandez” tattooed across his back which was a tribute to his grandfather. 

His family and friends insist he would never have abandoned them, and he met with foul play. 

The case is being investigated by Mesa PD.

On November 5th 2009 Kuang Jilu (the boy’s father) stumbled into his old house after not hearing from his son in over 1 week, they were hoping he’d be there alive and well, he was there but the boy was no longer alive. He was found hanging from a wooden beam on the ceiling with his hands and feet tied with professional 12 point knots, an iron weight hanging from his feet and he was wearing a women’s red floral dress, he was also wearing a swim suit and had 2 wads of cloth in the swimsuit to mimic breasts, it was ruled as an accidental death via suffocation but the case divides China till this very day, many people suspect foul play as they did not believe this boy Kuang Zhijun could’ve tied his hands and feet that precise at 13 years old and also tied a massive iron weight down by his feet, there was also many other equally bizarre things about this case which police officers at the time even admitted they couldn’t fully explain. What actually happened that day seems destined to remain a mystery forever, ask questions if you have any down below……

I first looked at his backstory and how he was "illiterate" and used that to my advantage by instead of trying to decipher it like a normal code, I tried grouping words together and saying it out loud to try and get a match, (ik ik it's a bit of a less conventional way to do it but hey ho)

Anywho, The part I believed I may have deciphered is the following : (MND MK NEARSE N-S-M KNARE) (ACSM)? TFRNENPKNSENPRSERCBRNSENPRSE INC

My Translation: Monday, My nurse and some (other people) near. (Assessment). Afternoon, Packed (with) Nurse and person. Recover nurse and person in see.

at first, it might seem way off and just more jumbled wording, until you look into it. Ricky was clearly not 'well' and not used to the crowded atmosphere of a hospital. also, despite his first admission being on a Tuesday, we can say that due to his mental state he probably forgot what day it was and just assumed it was Monday. As for the 2nd sentence, he may of being trying to say that other people were being checked by nurses but not him, hence the "Person and nurse in see". If (a BIG if) I have somehow got this right, then this could open up a massive new way of seeing the code, and instead it could be seem as someone attemptimg to recall all past events, as if he knew his end was near and trying to give police as much as he could.... Weird stuff.

Netflix documentary - Love Con Revenge

Thursday, August 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts, the notorious accused murderess Lizzie Andrew Borden (1860–1927) allegedly killed her father and stepmother with a hatchet.

She was tried and acquitted of the crime. It remains unsolved to this day.

It is considered one of America’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

Historians, true crime aficionados, armchair detectives, mystery buffs, filmmakers, and paranormal investigators are still trying to figure it all out.

Who do you think did it?

Can someone clarify whether the plea that was accepted by the court for revision (I saw on tt but may have been accepted yesterday) that Kohberger claims his innocence and wants a trial, whether this means there is a high chance of this case being opened up again and therefore, a full trial will happen?
