Hello, welcome back to the Most Amazing corner of the Internet!
I am Rebecca Felgate your most amazing host and this list is all about glitter!
Before we get into the video – I just want to remind you guys to hit that thumbs up button,
and leave us a comment …also check our merch at Most Amazing Shop.com.
OKAY, let's get into the Top 10 Crimes solved with glitter.
At number 10, we have one of the first ever case of glitter forensics …
One of the first recorded cases of using glitter to solve a crime was at the end of the Cold
War era in Germany.
As people were out celebrating Mardi-Gras, a drunk man sexually assaulted a woman.
Luckily, a US army crime lab was able to carry out the forensic work and luckily the Mardi
Gras celebration involved wearing costumes and specific pieces of glitter the victim
had on her costume were found on the suspects clothing.
9 – meet Edwin Jones at number 9 Forensic Scientist – Edwin Jones has one
of the largest glitter collections of all time with 100 different types of glitter used
to compare with samples taken at crime scenes.
This guy alone has played an active hand in solving lots of crimes.
Glitter was used to convict Michael Alexander of Alaska at number 8
A Highschool student, Kathy Stockholm, drove from her home in Fairbanks Alaska to West
Valley High School at 8.45pm to retrieve something from her locker.
She had picked up some environmental glitter from the school, presumably from an arts and
crafts project.
When her body was found, the glitter was also found on Michael Alexander.
Of course there were other forensic pieces of evidence, but the glitter proved decisive.
Another Glitter case in Alaska at number 7….
Blimey In this case, an estranged wife had dropped
glitter in her exhusband's car before he went on a killing spree.
Some of the glitter stuck to his victim…which was then traced back to his var.
Busted…with glitter!
I am not sure you could say Glitter SOLVED the crime here, but glitter nail polish help
relieve a man of a charge he wasn't guilty of… that is coming in to number 6
To cut a long story short, a partial DNA match was found on a murder victim and a man was
wrongfully jailed.
In 2012, when forensic scientists studied the case again, they found the girl who had
been murdered had a glittery nail polish that attracted dirt and DNA and skewed the results
for the original investigating team.
This was one of the key areas of retrial.
I have personally solved my own crimes using glitter before – we have Ship Your Enemies
Glitter at number 5
So….
By solve a crime here, I mean, someone was acting unkindly towards me…which I consider
to be a crime…and I solved it by shipping them a surprise box of glitter.
I solved it with Karma…
So yeah, there is a website called ship your enemies glitter, which allows you to anonymously
send a load of glitter in the post to whomever you desire.
I love glitter, so this wouldn't bother me… but I know a few people who hate it.
Glitter has been used to solve many crimes, but it also put a group of people in jail
for terrorism.
Find out what went down at number 4.
Moriah Stephenson and Stefan Warner faced up to 10 years in jail after they coated a
portion of the Devon Energy Building floor in Oklaholma City in black glitter as a protest.
The pair were arrested as a result of their glitter bombing as officials suspected it
to be a biochemical terror attack! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/glitter-leads-terrorism-hoax-charges-protesters-article-1.1578622
3 - Illinois kidnapping case A young girl was grabbed in the woods and
a man tried to slash her throat.
In doing so, he slashed her clothes.
Her top had some silver writing in glitter and when a suspect was found with glitter
particles on his clothing that matched the glitter text on the girls top, the police
knew they had the right man.
EDITORS I have a picture of this in the Rebecca Folder.
A Paedophile was caught as a result of pink glitter at number 2
Child Rapist, Imran Khan was jailed for life as pink glitter linked him to the abduction
of a 6 year old girl called Amy in Burnley, England.
The girl was snatched from her bike and bundled into Khan's trunk.
She was wearing sparkle shoes and some of the glitter rubbed off in his car.
Khan dumped Amy in a wheelie bin after her ordeal, but luckily he was caught.
. Amy's mother said: she insisted on wearing them out on the day she was taken.
I said she should change into her boots but before I could argue, she was outside.
Im so glad she had them on because the glitter found in the boot of Khan's car was crucial
evidence."
A drunk driver was brought to justice using glitter at number 1
In Florida, a truck smashed into a car and killed a mother and child.
When police investigated the scene, there was nobody in the cab of the truck…however
an intoxicated woman was found hiding in a bush.
Despite denying being the driver, she was caught using glitter!
She had cosmetic glitter on her face, and the same glitter was found on the airbag of
the driver's side of the vehicle.
Pretty conclusive.
Okay, that was the Top 10 Crimes solved with glitter..what a journey…what an adventure!
