This town has become the center of murder, unsolved crime, and multiple disappearances. There was a time where this pleasant little town was voted "The Most Beautiful Small Town in America" but it wasn't long until deceit and murder took over. The area is well known for five unsolved deaths and disappearances. These crimes have inspired national media coverage and gossip. The town began to decline when police uncovered the "Cornbread Mafia" a group of rural farmers that ran one of the largest marijuana production operations in the United States. Many people wonder if drug trafficking lead to the mysteries of Bardstown. Over time, signs that read "Solve These Murders" took over residential yards and parks. According to a life-long resident of Bardstown, Imogene Morrow "Almost on every corner of every block, there's going to be one" The residents of Bardstown continue to search for answers on crimes that have seemingly gone cold. One of the sayings that has become well known to the citizens of Bardstown is "You want to commit murder, come to Bardstown".The five mysterious crimes involved Jason Ellis, Kathy Netherland, Samantha Netherland, Crystal Rogers, and Tommy Ballard. Jason Ellis was a local police officer that was murdered on his way home from work on May 25, 2013. Kathy Netherland and her daughter Samantha Netherland were found at their home, shot dead. Police believe that Kathy and Samantha were shot at some point on April 21 or April 22, 2014. The next victim, Crystal Rogers disappeared and is presumed dead with no remains. Crystal was last seen on July 3, 2015. Ironically, Crystal's father, Tommy Ballard was murdered when he was out hunting with his grandson on November 19, 2016. These five crimes have confused police and have remained unsolved. There are questions about each case and the possible relationship between cases. According to Crystal's mother "Police need that little piece of information that somebody might have that would result in solving these unsolved crimes". What happened to Crystal Rogers?

In Con Job you'll learn why Democrat politicians have no problem with inner-city riots; why Democrats so fervently defend Planned Parenthood, how Democrats are remaking America through massive immigration and more. The 2016 presidential election is set to be one of the most consequential in American history—and Crystal Wright's book is the one you need to help friends and family avoid falling for the Democrat con job yet again.
Download or read book Film Composers in America written by Clifford McCarty and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film Composers in America is a landmark in the history of film. Here, renowned film scholar Clifford McCarty has attempted to identify every known composer who wrote background musical scores for films in the United States between 1911 and 1970. With information on roughly 20,000 films, the book is an essential tool for serious students of film and a treasure trove for film fans. It spans all types of American films, from features, shorts, cartoons, and documentaries to nontheatrical works, avant-garde films, and even trailers. Meticulously researched over 45 years, the book documents the work of more than 1,500 composers, from Robert Abramson to Josiah Zuro, including the first to score an American film, Walter C. Simon. It includes not only Hollywood professionals but also many composers of concert music--as well as popular music and other genres--whose cinematic work has never before been fully catalogued. The book also features an index that lets readers quickly find the composer for any American film through 1970. To recover this history, much of which was lost or never recorded, McCarty corresponded with or interviewed hundreds of composers, arrangers, orchestrators, musical directors, and music librarians. He also conducted extensive research in the archives of the seven largest film studios--Columbia, MGM, Paramount, RKO, 20th Century-Fox, Universal, and Warner Bros.--and wherever possible, he based his findings on the most reliable evidence, that of the manuscript scores and cue sheets (as opposed to less accurate screen credits). The result is the definitive guide to the composers and musical scores for the first 60 years of American film.
