June 9th 1995 Morgan Nick and her mother Colleen Nick travelled to a little league baseball game in Alma, Arkansas. Around 10:30pm Morgan asked her mom if she could go catch some fireflies with friends her mom was reluctant at first but other parents said it was a safe area and she could be seen from where she was sitting, so she relented and made sure to turn round and check o them all 4 or so times.

Morgan was last seen at 10:45 leaning against her moms car as she shook sand out of her shoes her friends stood a little way away from her and cleaned out their shoes they noted that a ‘creepy’ man was chatting to Morgan while this was happening they headed back to their parents after this and told Morgan's mom that she was at the car waiting for her. When Colleen got back to her car tho Morgan was nowhere to be seen.

Colleen desperately searched the parking lot for Morgan and a coach say her worried searching and called local authorities. Six minutes later deputies had arrived and while they started to look around, they thought Morgan had just wondered off they soon began to share the worry Colleen was having. The Alma PD immediately started to search and began an investigation asking for help from the FBI and Arkansas PD. Also reaching out to the media. The town Courtroom was turned into a call centre for tips and the FBI set up a mobile command centre in the parking lot. While the Nick family moved into the local Fire Department it became the HQ for all volunteer searches.

People came forward to share that they had seen an unidentified male looking at Morgan a lot while she was playing and may have approached her friend also verified that there was a ‘Creepy’ man talking to Morgan while she was emptying her shoes out at her mom's car.

Police release a sketch of him to the public he was described as 23-38, medium to solid build, 6’0, 180 pounds with black salt and pepper hair combed back full facial hair and a hairy chest. He was said to have spoken with a ‘hill billy’ accent and was wearing just blue jean shorts. His vehicle was a red pickup truck with a white camper shell with curtains covering the windows it was seen leaving around the time Morgan went missing.

Many tips and leads have come in over the years a couple of properties have been searched but nothing has come from those as far as we have been told. Recently a link may have been made between Morgan and a man called Bill Jack Lincks who owned a red pickup and was arrested for an attempted kidnapping of another young girl shortly after Morgan went missing, when arrested his truck was impounded and kept by the police for a good while and according to a documentary called ‘still missing Morgan' the police have searched the truck and found blood, blonde hair matching the colour of Morgan's hair and blue/green Fibres.

I am going to leave this write up here at this point but am going deeper in to the latest findings which will hopefully bring some closure and help put this horrible case to bed. I'll add to this post when I have a write up of those findings.

I was having a friendly discussion with someone this morning about PC and Laptops for work/education stuff, he suggested that I could use a chromebook for all this stuff and this would be a good idea and make things easier. I strongly disagreed with this, mainly because I hate laptops, the keyboard and touchpad make me angry and my PC does everything I need. Most things are synced to my phone for the rare times I may want to add something while out and about. So I thought I'd come here and seek other peoples opinions on laptops vs pc your needs? also if you are feeling bored and want to head on over to the survey ive linked and fill in a few questions I can more easily gather data to make into fun graphs, which if the data agrees with me, I can shove it in his face or should I be in the minority I can let him have this win.

They utilise a direct sales team called Team Beach Body, BODi, who are independent distributors and call themselves Coaches (despite having no qualifications in health, nutrition or fitness).

To become a Coach/Partner is very simple a few details about yourself and some purchases of starter deals or registration fee and your all set, they do as if you have been referred by someone but never fear if you have not your hard work won't be for nought they can assign you to someone so that they can become your upline and make some money off of you.

To start they charge you a onetime registration fee of $39.95 which can be waived if you purchase a Total-Solution pack (more on that later)

And every 30 days there is a reoccurring monthly fee of $15.95. This can be cancelled at any time.

If you just pay the one-time fee and ignore the next few pages of products shoved into your face then you will receive a welcome email containing a welcome business information book, 30-day access to online partner office and key marketing and support tool to help you start your business.

If you choose to purchase the Total-Solution pack for $219 valued at $360.80

You will then get 1 year subscription to BODi, 20-day supply of shakeology, 20-day supply of Energise, Tools and recipes regarding healthy eating and exercise and finally free access to the newest super block.

Commission plan

The best way to grow is to invite new customers and coaches to the Beach Body challenge group by getting them to purchase the Challenger Pack – from $160 upwards.

Earn up to 36% for every pack sold and also every non-challenger product, you’ll earn 25% or 15% if they are a Beach Body on demand sub.

Team cycle bonus (this is so convoluted and just pointless I just can't get the point of having the legs and a strong/weak on etc)

Earn from the sales of your entire downline It cycles whenever you have 300 Balanced volume points

Earn between $14-$18 each cycle dependant on your rank Emerald earns $14 each cycle up to $250 per week

Ruby earns $16 up to $1000 per week

Diamond earns $18 from up to $2000 to $12000 per week.

It is important to remember, as a newer coach, that to earn these you must have advanced to emerald which requires you to have scammed I mean sponsored two other active coaches 1 for each leg for them to classify to count as an active coach they need to meet the PV requirement which can be through retail sales or, of course, personal sales.

“As a coach that TV is just sitting there, and you are just flushing that money down the toilet so why not recruit and rank up so you can take a chunk of this too”.

“It's important to remember your team has real value to you don’t waste it”.

Common arguments to make people feel bad for wasting that money and pushing them to recruit, recruit, recruit to get that money.

Going off the Income disclosure statement I had from 2020 (I will update this with a more up to date disclosure asap)

Emerald rank – Average - $3,142

Ruby rank – Average - $12,186

Diamond rank – Average - $16,991

Star diamond – Average - $116,539

The diamond ranks have 15 different ranks within it that are not included in t hat

43% of coaches receive some form of bonus or commission cheque.

“Large number of the coaches used in this disclosure form choose not to build a business”

Of course, they have to put that in there to try to explain why so many people make so little.

This disclosure for does not consider any expenses that the coaches have such as packs and products they have to buy to be able to sell to other people and all the personal sales they make just to reach or remain at their current rank. It also does not show all the hours they spent actually working I would love to see a comparison of the hours they spend vs how much they earn.

This does not even begin to go over they ‘Trips’ they win and supposed training they receive to help them reach their business goals. Those are something I will be going into in other post as this one is already getting rather long.

Not read to much about this but this sounds promising an arrest in the Gilgo Murders will definitely be keeping up on this as it unfolds.

From Arbonne to Zyia Active most MLMs follow a similar underhand layout.

A lot of them claim to empower women as a front to gain support from this feminist point of view, giving women a step up to allow them to reach their potential and to become ‘business owners’.

Often targeting stay at home mums/wives who need a way to make money while still being able to be at home and flexible, A way to make money from your phone/ become an influencer for this brand which is an interesting idea to many people as social media and technology has become an ever-present part of our day-to-day life.

It's not a pyramid scheme those are illegal, we have an actual product, and it is defiantly possible to make money without recruitment so therefore it's not a dodgy idea. All these arguments and more flood peoples dm’s following a no thank you from you as another stranger pops in to say, ‘hi Hun I have an amazing business opportunity for you that you would be perfect for’.

I hope to build a community here to help others spot these dangerous company's, sympathise with people who have made their way out of the gaslighting wonderland of an MLM and to tear apart posts and videos from these people so we can show the psychology behind the marketing that they push onto everyone.

I will be building a pinned post that lists all the MLM’s I can find but please feel free to post any lists or companies that you have, the more we know the more we can avoid.

Thank you and welcome.

Maddie Clifton was born in Jacksonville Florida in 1990 on the 17th of June she had a sister called Jessie and her parents were Steve and Sheila. on the 3rd of November 1998 she came home at around 4:30 and practices on the piano for a short while and then bounded out of her home calling to her mum that she will be back for dinner. She was seen hitting some golf balls and then spotted heading back home to gather some more golf balls. A neighbour did claim to have seen a boy named Joshua Phillips "creeping up" to her but these are the last sightings.

At 6:20 her mum started to call for her and try to bring her back for dinner but after some searching and asking around she became worried and called 911 at 6:33. She was last seen wearing a red YMCA basketball shirt with maddie and the number 5 on the back of it, blue shorts and black tennis shoes. For the next six days many police and neighbour and other volunteers searched tirelessly joining the search was the boy that lived across the street Joshua Phillips, he was born in March 1984 in Allentown Pensylvania and was later moved to Jacksonville by his parents Steve his father who it was said he was very scared of as he was abusive to Joshua and his mother Melisa his father did not allow anyone over to play while he was out and also was said to have a hatred for girls a contrast to Joshua who was know as quiet and friendly.

On the 10th of November 1998 Maddie's parents were recording a TV interview when across the street Joshua's mum was heading up to her sons room to clean up as she had noticed a smell coming from there, she thought it to come from the birds kept in his room. In the room she noticed a puddle of liquid just below the waterbed and knelt down to take a closer look on doing so she noticed that the side of the bed was taped up and appeared to be broken, she noticed that inside the broken part were what appeared to be socks on feet she realised that it was the body of Maddie and rushed across the street to alert some police that were canvassing the neighbourhood. The police entered Joshua's room and noticed a large amount of air fresheners some rolls of tape, a baseball bat hidden behind the dresser and a leatherman knife. Maddie's body was removed from the bed and it was noted her shirt was pulled up and her underwear was beneath her.

Police headed to Joshua's school and arrested him on bringing him to the station he confessed to murdering Maddie, He claimed that they we playing in the back yard and he accidently hit a ball to hard and it hit Maddie near her left eye she was bleeding and crying loudly so her took her upstairs to his room as time went on and she was still being very loud he became worried that his dad would come home and he would be in a lot of trouble for having Maddie over so he hit her on the head 2/3 times with a bat to make her stop crying. Instead of becoming quiet she started moaning loudly and he took his knife and cut her throat he stuffed her in the bottom of his waterbed but again a short while later noticed that he could hear her breathing again worried his dad, who was home by now, would hear he pulled her back out and stabbed her lungs repeatedly to kill her and stop the noise. He claimed that the clothes got all messed up when he was getting her in and out of the bed. In trial the coroner stated that she was hit on the head 3 times which would have killed her in 30mins but then in a separate attack her windpipe was perforated and she would have bleed out or drowned on the blood from that and then it was another separate attack that 9 stab wounds occurred and that 2 of these 9 stab wounds occurred after her death a detail confused me that it was said she was found gripping a support in the bed frame but if two wounds occurred when she was dead im unsure how she could have then be put back in the bed and then while dead she grabbed part of the framing. Maybe i misread or misunderstood this point but it is stated in more that one article/story about her death.

Joshua was tried as an adult but due to his age could not be given the death penalty his attorney called no witnesses and his case was trying to get him convicted for manslaughter and not murder. The jury deliberated for 2 hours and he was found to be guilty of 1st degree murder and given a life sentence.

Sandra Riley had a troubled early life, she was abandoned by her parents at two months old and was a known child to social services, Macclesfield. In 1973 she gave birth to a girl who she decided to give up for adoption, the next year she gave birth again this time to a boy who mysteriously died shortly after birth which was recorded as a cot death/SIDS.

December 1976 saw the birth of another boy Andrew, with her recent husband Stanley a few days later they rushed him to hospital and he was found to have a skull fracture, authorities thought it was accidental but to be sure he was placed on the at risk register to keep an eye on things for a while.

Three years later Andrew was taken off of the at risk register and a few months later in January 1981 she gave birth again to Christopher another son. Again within a few months he was found dead in his cot for Cot death/SIDS. In march 1983 Riley's 3rd son born just a couple of months before was also found dead, this time though Riley admitted to smothering him with a pillow, when she was being questioned about this she admitted that she also had killed Christopher and she was then convicted to two counts of infanticide but experts concluded that she was not a risk to her other son Andrew on any subsequent children so she was only given a two year probation order.

Her husband allowed her to move back in with them as it was claimed that there were no psychiatric indications that she would harm Andrew, her husband said that this decision haunts him still. April 1985, while still on probation, Riley was left alone to care for Andrew, she took him into the bathroom where he asked 'is it my turn to die, mummy' and as she forced his head under the water he begged 'please don't kill me mum' She was arrested and plead guilty to this murder and an arson charge that occurred a year earlier where she set fire to the family home while her son and a friend were playing. She was committed to Moss Side mental hospital indefinitely.

Louise Porton born in the UK, 1996, Had two children 3 year old Lexi and 17 month old Scarlett and lived in Beechwood Court, Rugby, Warwickshire.

The landlady at the property said to have spent more and more time caring for Louise's children so she could go out socialising. Testifying that Louise would do whatever she could not to spend time with her own children. The children's father was not in their lives and had in fact never met Scarlett, Louise admitted that she found parenting harder than she thought it would be.

January 2018 Lexi was admitted to the hospital multiple times she was taken to the hospital on the 2nd and again of the 4th of January suffering from breathing difficulties, thanks to the work of the paramedics, Lexi was able to be saved Her symptoms suggested deliberate airway obstructions the doctors believing it was caused by a chest infection, all the while Lexi is very ill and in hospital, Louise showed very little care or concern, sending nudes to a photographer from the toilets in the hospital and offering sex in return for money. Just a few days after the last hospital visit Louise once again called 999 stating that her daughter was ill again when asked if the daughter was breathing Louise just said 'no'. When help arrived it seemed that Lexi had been dead for a while before Louise rang 999. Again Louise seemed to not care seemingly unfazed by her daughters death spending the next day swiping through a dating site and messaging men on other sites arranging to meet them and casually mentioning to one that her daughter passed away yesterday while having a casual chat about tattoos. At the funeral parlour two weeks after her daughters death she was heard to be laughing on face time chatting with a man. Only two days after that Louise's other daughter suddenly passed away Louise called 999 telling the operator that her daughter was unwell but that she didn't think it was urgent. Upon arrival the paramedics found the toddler dead and again it seemed she had been dead for a while before calling for help. This death also seemed consistent with deliberate airway obstruction and Louise still seemed very unconcerned by her second daughters death. The doctor could not find a natural reason for withers death and due to this and Louise's demeaner the suspicion fell on Louise, police soon discovered that she had made a string of incriminating internet searches through January seeming to suggest she had killed her children and covered it up. She had searched death, breathing and drowning and researched how long it took for a body to go cold up to the shoulder. After Lexi had been discharged she searched 'can you die if you have your nose blocked and cover mouth with tape?' and other searches about toddlers drowning. She was tried in 2019 and found guilty of both murders she was sentenced to a minimum of 32 years.

Hippolyte Visart de Bocarme a Belgian nobleman who was convicted in 1851 by using forensic medicine of the first recorded murder by nicotine poisoning.

Visart married Lydia Fougnies in 1843 although he owned a castle in Bitremont and being part of a noble family he had constant money worries. Lydia's father left his large estate to her older brother, Gustave. Hippolyte hopped that Gustave would pass quickly to his declining health issues and he and lydia would inherit everything but their hopes were dashed upon hearing that Gustave planned to marry and they realised that the only way they could get their hands on the Fougnies' fortune would be if her brother died before he married.

So on the 20th Nov 1850 they invited Gustave to thier chateau where he later died druinning dinner apparently apoplexy. An examination showed that Gustave was forced to swallow something that was corrosive before dying. Belgian chemist was asked to consult on the case and for the first time Jean Servais Stas was able to deproteinize organic tissue from Gustave's organs he then identified nicotine thus proving that Hippolyte poisoned his brother in law with nicotine extracted for tobacco leaves. A method that is still used to this day. After a three week trial Hippolyte was sentenced to death and was killed by guillotine on 19th July 1851 at Grand-Place in Mons his wife was acquitted.

Sophie Charlotte Elisabeth Weingarten born in Glatz, Prussia, on May 5th, 1760. Her father was the secretary of the Austrian legation, and after he lost his position, she got married 19, to an older counsellor of the supreme court - Theodor Ursinus

They both lived in a town called Stendal up until 1792 and then relocated to Berlin. Then on Sept 11th 1800 just one day after his birthday Ursinus passed away suspicion was on Sophie as she didn't call the doctor and whatever she used to treat him juat made him worse. While they were married, Sophie started an affair with an officer named Rogay which may or may not have been okayed by her husband. Rogay had left Berlin for a while he came back roughly 3 years before her husband died and he him self died which was reported to be from Tuberculosis. Around the death evidence shows Sophie brought some arsenic. January 24th, 1801 her aunt Christine Witte suffered a brief illness and died in Charlottenburg leaving Sophie with a large inheritance again evidence shows she brought arsenic just before this death.

In February 1803 Benjamin Klein who worked for her and had recently been in an argument with her got ill. She gave him an emetic and then soup which only made him feel worse. When she gave him some plums he had them secretly examined by a chemist who found they contained arsenic.

She was arrested for poisoning her husband, whose body was then exhumed but the examiners were unable to confirm whether he was poisoned but everyone still remained suspicious. She was next charged with the murder of her aunt and upon examination there was no doubt that she was killed by arsenic. The trial ended on Sept 12th 1803 she was found guilty and sentenced to life She was allowed to have a certain amount of comforts while in prison, and was even allowed to have parties with outside guests and dress in fine clothing.

In 1989 a popular radio D.J. named Debbie Dicus was killed and rape was attempted but she fought enough that he could not do it. It happened in Virginia at a community garden, where she spent a good amount of time, miday. The police brought in a dog to track using the weapon used which was a garden hoe. The dog then went immediately to the crowd of on-lookers up to a man who had a flannel shirt on over a t-shirt and began barking at him. After being asked to remove his shirt his T-shirt had blood all over it Police did a blood test and it was Debbie's. Murder solved in a couple of hours thanks to the good boy i hope he got all the treats and pets that day!

Seems rare to find any super quick solved crimes so if you know of any others please post and let me know.

On December 17, 2020, Kristofer Erlbacher, Caleb, and another person were hanging out in a bar, having a meal and a few drinks when their night took a dark and scary turn.

Apparently, Erlbacher put some mayo in a meal Solberg was eating. Solberg then became very angry and started to punch Erlbacher, which started a fight between the two of them. Erlbacher left in his truck and drove to a nearby cafe. While driving, he called Solberg's half-brother twice and informed him of what had happened that evening. He also threatened him and Solberg. It is claimed that Erlbacher stated he was going to set the house on fire and shot Solberg with a shotgun he owned on his way out after starting the fire.

Solberg and his half-brother went to the cafe, and reportedly, another fight broke out. After the fight, someone said they heard Erlbacher say, "I'll take care of this," and he got into his truck and slammed into the half-brother's vehicle, then drove off. He drove down the street briefly but saw Solberg outside a bar. He then drove into him and hit him with the truck. Solberg started screaming while Erlbacher drove away but turned back soon after and ran him over a few more times before fleeing or attempting to, but his truck broke down. He called his dad to help, who immediately picked him up and returned him to the crime scene where Erlbacher was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. He was found guilty in December 2021 and sentenced to life.

All this over mayo! I mean, yeah, don't mess with my food. It's a shitty thing to do, but this is just so out of proportion. I'm so sorry for the family and hope they are doing as well as they can.
