Google Restores Who Killed Theresa? Blog
You know, it might have been the call I made to the publishers of Criminal Investigative Failures, Taylor & Francis who emailed me today with this response after contacting Google:
"I just heard back from Google, they said there was an issue on their side and your blog is back online. I just checked and it is working. Let me know if I can be of further assistance."
I prefer to be left with the impression it was you. 110 signatures on a petition isn't much in a grand scheme, but it means a lot to me:

Wow, to not even be given a chance to explain actions or comments. We are in a democracy and should be allowed to deal with the death of a loved one. Obviously we shouldn't be malicious or libelous. Let's get this issue dealt with. I have read the blog and have never noticed anything malicious about the posts.

Please restor the BLOG Who Killed Theresa? John is absolutely correct when he mentions that siz years of work has gone down the drain. It really would be a shame if all of his dedicated hard work is wasted.

To Google/Blogger: Please restore Mr. Allore's blog. I am sure if one of your family members or perhaps a Google staff member was in the same situation (Heaven forbid), wouldn't you want to spread the word by using this service to gather any information that may solve the crime, especially the murder of a loved one? I have a very close dear friend who's son was murdered years ago, and it is still unsolved! Google/Blogger, you would be providing an invaluable tool to the victim's family and friends. Please, restore Mr. Allore's blog. Thank you.

I (and my blog mildgreens.blogspot.com) are in the same cyberbucket in the googleverse. GOOGLE's response has been woeful. It has removed 6 years of research and 1000 postings. It appears that an external tool "bloglinker.com" that I have used for important reference sites for at least 4 years (and policed/managed to avoid hacking attacks) has been used as the excuse to 'wipe' the entire blog. Google's reputation has been sullied and the cyber fraternity should be gravely concerned. I am surprised media havent been on top of and all over this one. Google have a duty of care to content providers without whom they would not have a business model.

It is awful that Google would take down this mans blog and not give him back his information. Having a loved one murdered is traumatic enough without having to deal with insensitive organizations that would do something like this. I pray that this blog information is restored and that this crime will be solved soon. As a homicide survivor I sympathize with the pain this family has already suffered and they do not need additional pain.

I do hope Google will at least return all your content to you...Sometimes it seems no matter what one does, things seem to work out in favor of the muderers and not the victims..that is sad.. :(

I will discontinue using Google & ask my all my friends to do the same until this matter is corrected. Google---SHAME ON YOU!

If you're getting my signing twice, it's because I didn't see the first one show up. I see no reason why WKT? should be suspended. Anyone who has a problem with its content is one who just has problems. Solving cold cases is not easy. It is done only by cooperative effort.

what happened to freedom of speech and expression? My first message seems to not be registered!! So here goes again. John Allore has a right to the content of that blog whether it ever goes on-line again.. At the very least the authorities should have access to it. No question that there were off colour and thoughts occasionally posted.. BUT the truth is that there were important exchanges with viable leads to solving a real (not cyber) murder case.

Thank God!
Waiting for that last blog to load up was like pouring frozen molasses from a bottle!
Okay, I changed the WKT? link so it comes here, and I hope I don't have to change it again, unless of course, John finds something that works even better.
I don't mind that FDK got more visitors who stopped by to get directions to WKT? I consider us sister websites anyway, and I'm proud to be associated with this one.
Special thanks to all who signed the petition, and to Anon who uncovered the lost Theresa archives.
Bill, I just want to say that it was not me that uncovered/located the lost archives. I had just copied and saved many of the posts and comments from 2007 and 2008 related mainly to Theresa's case, from the time that Maritime Missy was guest-hosting the blog, and sent those to John last week while the blog was down.
'Anon'
Alright, Anon;
Then you get credit for saving all that stuff.
I still appreciate it.
It gave me great pleasure to read those old posts again.
