Kathy Gloddy,Michael Oher Football Player: The ABC News magazine 20/20 will bring national eyes to the November 1971 unsolved murder of Kathy Lynn Gloddy , the 13-year-old girl who was beaten, raped, hit over the head, and run over by a car at least four times and left on a logging road. Kathy Lynn’s family has never given up the hope that those responsible for the brutal murder of their youngest sister would be brought to justice

Kathy Gloddy,Michael Oher Football Player:The ABC News magazine 20/20 will bring national eyes to the November 1971 unsolved murder of Kathy Lynn Gloddy, the 13-year-old girl who was beaten, raped, hit over the head, and run over by a car at least four times and left on a logging road.

Kathy Lynn’s family has never given up the hope that those responsible for the brutal murder of their youngest sister would be brought to justice.

“We are excited that 20/20 has chosen to take on Kathy’s case,” remarked Janet Gloddy Young, one of Kathy’s three sisters. “We are hoping through continued media exposure and through the creation of the Kathy Lynn Gloddy Reward Fund we will be able to find some answers and peace for our family.

News crews spent some time in Franklin filming the area off Webster Road where Kathy Lynn’s body was found and taping the candlelight and daisy vigil family and friends held for Kathy Lynn this past summer.

In addition, retired Massachusetts Police Chief and Detective Thomas Shamshak has been helping the family not only with their search for justice but with their efforts to create and fund the first-ever cold-case unit in the state.

After the Gloddy sisters spent months testifying in both the state Senate and the N.H. House of Representatives, Gov. John D. Lynch signed the New Hampshire Cold Case unit into law in the Governor and Council’s room with the family invited as special guests.

The murder investigation has taken a number of twists and turns recently, most notably when elderly Florida resident Ernest Dukette went into a police department and said he believed he was with Kathy Lynn when she died but could not remember if he had raped her.

Although Dukette later recanted his statements, saying he was ill and confused from various medications he was taking, New Hampshire authorities reopened the case and exhumed Kathy Lynn’s body in hopes modern DNA mapping techniques could be used to either confirm or deny his statements.

Dukette died in August at Old Town, Fla., and never spoke another public word about Kathy Lynn and what he may have known about her murder.

Kathy Lynn’s brother, Roger, now living in Colorado, has said Dukette had a reputation for drinking and being rough with women.

While Dukette took his secrets to the grave with him, Senior Assistant State Attorney Will Delker said the case would continue to be open and his investigators had reason to believe that more than one person was involved in Kathy Lynn’s murder.

The last night of Kathy Lynn’s life, the young athlete, poet, and conservationist took her German Shepherd out for a walk and stopped by a variety store for ice cream and a can of potato sticks — her favorites. She never made it back to her home. more info

Ghost adventures live and Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. On this Halloween festival there could have been no better television show to celebrate the occasion that the Ghost Adventure on Travel Channel. The Ghost Adventure guys go to long abandoned houses, churches, factories and similar places to hunt down ghosts.I am sure they and other similar shows will shut shops if they ever come in contact with a Ghost. The drama is enacted because there aint no ghosts around. But till they appear really or take over our screens, the drama must continue.

Ghost Adventures is a one-hour weekly American paranormal reality television series that premiered on October 17, 2008, on the Travel Channel.

The program features ghost hunters Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin, who investigate places that are reported to be haunted. The show is based on a 2006 documentary film.

The Sci-Fi Channel presented 4Reel Productions’ Ghost Adventures: The Documentary Film in 2006. The documentary centers on Bagans, Groff, and Goodwin’s investigation into alleged paranormal activity in Virginia City, Nevada.

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum: The first thing that strikes most visitors to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is its massive size. Constructed between 1858 and 1881, the main structure is 1,296 feet long, consists of 4 floors, 9 acres of floor space, 921 windows and 906 doors. The asylum is considered the largest hand-cut stone masonry building in North America and the second-largest in the world after the Kremlin.

Located in central West Virginia, the asylum appears to be nestled in the great green Appalachian Mountains, its imposing facade just across the West Fork River serving as the backdrop for the small town of Weston.

Travel Channel,Ghost Adventures Live

Travel Channel,Ghost Adventures Live :News Corp and Scripps Networks Interactive are lead bidders for Cox Enterprise’s Travel Channel , and talks are now focused on the winner forming a joint venture with Cox, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The winning party would contribute cable networks and cash, and own roughly 65 percent of the new company, while Cox would contribute Travel Channel and hold a minority stake, the sources said.

Travel Channel,Ghost Adventures Live:News Corp and Scripps Networks Interactive are lead bidders for Cox Enterprise’s Travel Channel, and talks are now focused on the winner forming a joint venture with Cox, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The winning party would contribute cable networks and cash, and own roughly 65 percent of the new company, while Cox would contribute Travel Channel and hold a minority stake, the sources said. The majority stake has not been finalized and is still being discussed, one of the sources said.

The joint venture is currently being valued at above $900 million, but that valuation is “a bit complex and is still being worked out,” one of the sources said. The new company would take on debt to pay Cox a cash dividend, the sources said.

All sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the details are not public.

Travel Channel is known for programs such as “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations,” in which author and chef Bourdain travels the world to showcase local cuisines; and “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern,” in which the food columnist tries unusual delicacies such as lamb eyeballs and squirrel brains.

If News Corp wins, it will likely contribute the National Geographic Channel, that person said. It was unclear which cable assets Scripps Networks would contribute if it won the auction, but it owns a variety of “fine-living” genre channels such as the HGTV, Do It Yourself and Food Network.

News Corp declined comment while Cox and Scripps Networks were not immediately available.

A joint venture would help Cox avoid the big tax bill it inherited as part of a 2007 deal to swap its 25 percent stake in Discovery Communications Inc, the sources said. It received the Travel Channel and $1.275 billion of cash for that stake.

PRIVATE EQUITY UNLIKELY

Private equity firms Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co, Thomas H. Lee Partners and Providence Equity had also submitted bids for Travel Channel, which sources said ranged between $700 million and $800 million.

Initial expectations for the Travel Channel ranged from $600 million to $700 million. With current discussions including other cable assets in a joint venture, the valuation of an independent Travel Channel was unclear.Reuters
