Delrhonda Hood: "Big Fifty" Detroit's Queenpin

Early Life on Detroit’s East Side

Delrhonda Denise Hood was born on October 28, 1965, the eldest of five children in a family struggling

with poverty and instability. Growing up, she developed a reputation for being tough, outspoken, and physically imposing — traits that would later help her navigate Detroit’s criminal underworld. By age 15, she was pregnant with her first child, forced into adulthood early and with few economic options. 

Her teenage years were marked by petty crime, shoplifting, and drug use. She cycled in and out of juvenile detention, never attending college and learning instead from the streets.

Rise as “Big Fifty” — Detroit’s Queenpin

By the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hood had carved out her own territory in Detroit’s drug economy. She became known as “Big Fifty,” a nickname referencing both her physical presence and her dominance in the game. She operated independently — rare for women in the drug trade — and built a multimillion‑dollar empire through narcotics, fraud, and other illicit ventures.

Luke Crump: Artist

Luke Crump is a British visual artist known for his bold, character‑driven “doodle” style—an instantly

recognisable blend of pop art, street art, and playful surrealism. His work appears on canvases, murals, apparel, shoes, guitars, vehicles, album covers, and even public installations, with collectors in 30+ countries.
🎨 Early Life & Creative Beginnings

Born in England, Crump’s love for art intensified after his family moved to Belgium when he was eight. With both parents teaching design, he spent countless hours in school workshops drawing, building models, and experimenting creatively.

He returned to the UK for his GCSEs and later pursued graphic design—first through an apprenticeship in sign‑making and vehicle wrapping, then briefly at university. The highly digital, desk‑bound nature of graphic design left him disillusioned, ultimately steering him toward a more expressive, hands‑on artistic path.

Norway Murders

In the spring of 1999, the Orderud family was already living under a cloud of fear. The previous summer,

explosives had been discovered under Anne Orderud Paust’s car, and a month later a gasoline‑soaked propane tank was found outside her apartment — both clear attempts on her life. No one was charged, but the incidents drew national attention and cast suspicion on those close to the family.

On the night of 22 May 1999, an assailant entered the Orderud kårbolig and shot Anne and her elderly parents multiple times with two different weapons. The brutality of the scene shocked investigators: Kristian and Marie were killed in their bedroom and hallway, while Anne was found on the kitchen floor, struck by several close‑range shots.

The Onieal Family

Onieal’s, located at 174 Grand Street in the heart of SoHo and Little Italy, stands as one of Manhattan’s most distinctive historic bars. Its story begins in the early 20th century, when the building sat directly

across from the old NYPD Police Headquarters—an area long known for its mix of wealth, corruption, and crime.
A Speakeasy with a Secret Tunnel

During Prohibition, Onieal’s operated as a speakeasy, a brothel, and a gambling parlor. The neighborhood’s notorious corruption led to the construction of an underground tunnel connecting the bar directly to the police headquarters across the street. This allowed uniformed officers and officials to slip into the establishment unseen. The tunnel later became part of the bar’s wine cellar and remains visible today, though it was filled in when the police building was converted into luxury condos in 1987.

He joined Hampshire’s youth system at a young age, progressing rapidly from the Under‑14 side to the Under‑17s and the Academy by age 15.

Family Archeologist

Origins of an Explorer

Michael Alexander Arbuthnot was born on June 9, 1974, and grew up with a curiosity that pulled him

toward the edges of maps and the mysteries beneath the surface of things. His early academic path was unconventional for an archaeologist: a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy with a minor in Anthropology from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Philosophy sharpened his instinct for questioning assumptions; anthropology gave him the tools to seek answers in the material traces of human lives. By the time he entered Florida State University for his master’s degree, he had already begun to gravitate toward the world beneath the waves. He graduated magna cum laude, specializing in underwater archaeology—a field that would define much of his career.

Liana Caruana: Musician (a.k.a. Miz Tipzta)

 Every once in a while I take a look through DNA matches for the five DNA tests I manage.  Sometimes,

if there's a photo associated with the DNA match I'll do an internet search to see if I can find any additional information.  Once in a while I get surprised with what I find.

This time I discovered Liana Caruana.  All the information matches a Liana Caruana a member of the English garage band "3 of a Kind".  3 of a Kind are best known for their 2004 hit single "Babycakes".  Liana wrote the lyrics and sings, she can be seen  in the official music video (below).  10 million views on YouTube!  I even noticed that Ed Sheeran included the song in an acoustic cover piece on YouTube called "KISSTORY"  We have yet another musician in the family!
