Thank you to all Friends of Larry Jarboe for State Senate. Carlene and I are grateful for your support, not only in this campaign, but since I first won office as St. Mary’s County Commissioner in 1994,
No, I won’t be traveling to Annapolis. But, we are looking forward to moving to the Florida Keys in the winter and living in St. Mary’s County during the milder months. Also, we will be traveling on the ocean cruise circuit. I do maritime and destination lectures and Carlene organizes the power point presentations. If you would like spend six days at sea, there is an especially reasonable priced run from Baltimore to Bermuda that you might want to join us on in September.
MURDER USADEATH INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY IN CARROLL COUNTY
(HAMPSTEAD, MD) — What happens when killers want to get rid of a body in Maryland? From a recent case in Talbot County where rich kids having a drug party on imported narcotics rub out one of their buddies to the regular dispatch of competing drug dealers in Baltimore City, killers are always faced with the problem of disposal.
Murderers throughout modern history either take a boat out and weigh down the victim’s body with cinderblocks and chains or simply dump the corpse out along a country road. Here is a story of one victim who wasn’t given a boat ride:
Maryland State Police and Carroll County Sheriff’s Office deputies are investigating the death of a man whose body was found along a wooded area beside a rural field in northern Carroll County this morning
The pair of ospreys residing in Prospect Bay returned on March 20, 2014. To their surprise they had a new platform to claim as home for a few months. The old platform “bit the ice” this past winter, and a new platform was put up closer to shore.
To uncover secretive activities like bribery, embezzlement, racketeering, kickbacks, and money laundering, we use sophisticated investigative techniques that can give us a front row seat to handshakes, money exchanges, or descriptions of corrupt schemes directly from the mouths of the officials involved. These techniques—which we’ve been using successfully for years against organized crime—include electronic surveillance, undercover operations, and informants/cooperating witnesses.
ST. MICHAEL’S, MD. — The home of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, this old town that bills itself as the town that fooled the British, is now the center of one of the finest collections of Chesapeake Bay boats of all types. The museum is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable folks, mostly volunteers, who bring their own collective experience and wisdom to entertain and educate.
Concentrations of sea grass can be a place where croakers stay and feed. For the most part, they move and feed as a school, but some of the larger croakers may be found in more concentrated groups.
The Wicomico River near Quade’s Store in St. Mary’s County continues to be croaker central for much of the season, but so do other locations such as waters near the Ragged Point Bar on the Virginia side of the Potomac, Cornfield Harbor just inside Point Lookout and the Patuxent River near Benedict and Sandgates.
Though I was only four or five years old, I still remember my first charter boat fishing trip on the Chesapeake Bay.
When my Dad told me I was going fishing, I got my toy plastic reel and steel rod that had a rubber hook for snatching up open mouthed plastic goldfish in a dexterity game.
I cut off the rubber hook with safety scissors and tied on a Christmas ornament hook. I was ready to catch a fish.
Capt. Bill Dixon from Town Creek must have been amused as I carried my rig onto his boat with my Dad, his business partner Howard Carpenter, and members of our families.
Following three years of court actions after he was discovered to have been soliciting sex from who he believed were minor females, the Maryland Court of Appeals Chief Deputy Clerk, Robert John Greenleaf has been disbarred.
In the criminal charges brought in Caroline County by States Attorney Jonathan Newell, Greenleaf was accused of multiple communications with an undercover officer posing as a 14-year-old girl, from a computer located in his home.
In the series of internet communications, Greenleaf repeatedly attempted to get the “girl” to leave her home and meet him for a sexual encounter and to produce a sex video.
