In early August Google / Blogger took down my blog, Who Killed Theresa? because of alleged malicious content. They didn't even give me a chance to search for content (mostly likely in the form of inappropriate and unauthorized comments) and address the problems. Six years of work attempting to solve the murder of my sister Theresa Allore down the toilet. Not to mention the amount of advocacy we had done on this blog for crime victims across North America. If you have ever had to deal with Blogger / Google you will know that attempting contact is virtually impossible. If you run afoul with them then you fall into a black hole of silence. There is no one to speak to. My goal is to force this issue through the media to get Google / Blogger to change their ways. At the very least I want six years of content returned to me so I may host it on a better site. The thought of recreating all the information from the start is a traumatic prospect, not one I wish to repeat at this point in my life.

We The Undersigned ask Google / Blogger to restore the victims advocacy blog, Who Killed Theresa? Started in 2002 Who Killed Theresa? was one of the first forums dealing with crime victims advocacy in North America. It has been an important tool for sharing information about victims issues. At the very least, the owner should be afforded to time to correct any potentially damaging content, or the content should be returned to the owner so that Who Killed Theresa may be hosted on another website. Refusing to restore or return the information on Who Killed Theresa? is a further traumatizing event in the 31-year history of the unsolved murder of Theresa Allore. Thank you for your time and consideration,
We signed the "Google / Blogger please restore Who Killed Theresa?" petition!

This is appalling that people's bloggers are being removed. They are doign their utmost to try and find out what happened to their relatives murder. To just remove the blogger, without any warning is so wrong. As all the hard work that person has put into it has gone. Secondly, there is no harm in what these people are doing. John Allore wants to find out what happened to his sister.

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.

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.

As a victim representative and advocate for murder victims and their families, I know the devastation of having so many years of work and information obliterated. Please, restore the site/ blog or at the very minimum allow Him to recoup the information that was on the blog... Dont let this be another victimization of this horrible crime unto this family. 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.
