Seventy four year old Noel McGregor served the city of Hartford, Connecticut (USA) in two several roles. Most notably was a Police officer and then as the Town and City Clerk up to his death. On October 22nd, he was standing outside his car which had broken down on Route Two west in the town of Colchester when a Jeep Cherokee went into the shoulder of the highway and hit him. IT is believed that passenger side

Law Enforcement is seeking the suspect vehicle, which is said to be a true blue pearl color. They believe the Jeep Cherokee is likely a 2015 to 2023 model. McGregor died around a month after he sustained life altering injuries.

NOTE: I had met Mr. McGregor many times while he was town clerk and had talked to him once about some of the unsolved cases in the city. I did not ever think that his death would be an unsolved case. Hopefully, justice finds the person(s) responsible soon.

Why is WordPress harming the revenue of this website?

It has always been my policy on this website to never charge people who want a case on this website. We do take donations for the site and do have ads as well. But the last two months has seen a decrease in ad revenue by almost 99 percent. From a few dollars a month to a few cents. When contacting customer service they say they will look into it and nothing is done. Views have not gone down. Why is this happening. Revenue earned from the ads help pay for the maintenance and hosting of the site. One has to wonder if they don’t like some of the minor political content or they view the content as violent. Or perhaps someone who may have a connection to a case on here has complained to wordpress itself and this in retalation for the complaint. I don’t know… All I know is the small amount of revenue that came from the ads helped out.
