Although we all too often hear about children who have been murdered by family members or child predators, there are many more who are victims of crimes that we don't hear about. On tonight's show we'll address the issue of missing and exploited children. My panelists will be Delilah Jones, co-founder of Peace 4 The Missing, Derek VanLuchene, founder and president of Ryan United, a non-profit organization dedicated to Derek's brother, who was abducted and murdered by a repeat sex offender at the age of eight, and Simon and Jan Barrett of Blogger News Network and co-hosts of the Simon Barrett show on Blog Talk Radio.

Shawn Allison, age 29, was found dead in his residence in LaPine, Oregon on November 20, 2000. The apparent cause of death was the result of a gunshot wound; a rifle was nearby. The authorities concluded almost immediately that Shawn's death was a case of suicide. However, as additional information came to light the suicide ruling seemed less and less credible. Tonight Kim Kolton and I will discuss this disturbing case with Shawn's sister, Rita Allison.

On the debut broadcast of The Griffin Chronicles, my co-host Delilah Jones and I will talk with Dawn Schiller about her abuse at the hands of now deceased adult film star John "Wadd" Holmes.

Tonight Kim Kolton and I will discuss a double homicide out of Illinois. On the morning of June 2, 1981, two people were found shot to death in the living room of an apartment at the rear of the P.M. Pub, located at 238 West Rand Road in Lakemoor, Illinois. The victims were the tavern’s owner, 37-year-old Ronald Scharff, and barmaid Patricia Freeman, who had worked her shift at the bar the previous evening. For 27 years the murders remained unsolved. And then in 2008, Paul Scharff – Ron’s son - received a phone call that his former babysitter had read a book that she believed included a segment on Ron Scharff’s killing. The investigation was reactivated, and a little over a year after receiving that call the Scharff and Freeman families obtained a degree of closure. Tonight Paul Scharff will take us through the events that resulted in the naming of the murderer of Ron Scharff and Patricia Freeman.
