# Sofia — manual source worklist

Every source the automated pipeline could not retrieve. Open each in your browser,
copy the article text, and paste it back to me **with the case number**. I file it verbatim.

Ordered by urgency: the cases at the top have NO other working source — losing them means
the case has zero evidence. Cases lower down already have other articles on file, so their
missing source is a nice-to-have, not a gap.

Verdict meaning: DEAD = link 404/gone (try the Wayback Machine). THIN = the page needs a
browser to render (JavaScript). BLOCKED = the site refused an automated request but will
open normally for you.


<!-- fetch-list:start (generated by make_fetch_list.py; do not edit by hand) -->
## Manual fetch list (regenerated from the store)

Every linked source the pipeline could not read, after the live fetch and the Wayback pass.
Open each in your browser, copy the article text, and paste it back with the case number.
Cases at the top have NO usable text at all; further down the missing source is a nice-to-have.
DEAD = gone and not archived. BLOCKED = site refused the script, opens in a browser. THIN = needs
a browser to render. PDF = an archived PDF exists at the archive link.

65 sources listed.
<!-- fetch-list:end -->

## Special: La Provence, paywalled (serves cases 457 AND 458)

We hold only the opening 25%. The rest is behind the paywall and unreachable by any tool.
If you can read the full article, paste it and I'll file it into both case files. The missing
portion likely contains the Gignac-la-Nerthe detail (458) and any answer on the plate question.
  <https://www.laprovence.com/article/faits-divers-justice/2193885092828214/quatre-hommes-arretes-en-plein-braquage-sur-fond-de-cryptomonnaies-pres-de-marseille>
- **Case 391** (Chinese national rescue, 2 arrested) — its only linked source (abs-cbn.com) is JS-rendered and returned no article body. Needs a manual/browser fetch or a replacement source. No usable article on file otherwise.

## Cases with no article text — fresh search 2026-09-06
Seven of the ten were found by web search and filed as extra sources (marked "NOT on the DB record"
in the dossier; add the URLs to the record if you agree): 258 Kharkiv (Ukrinform, Hromadske Radio,
Sud.ua, ATN — also gives the victim's age 32, a Mercedes Vito, 14,600 EUR cash taken first, and one
active serviceman among the three), 260 Nate Geier (Mothership), 358 Bangkok (Khaosod English —
victim attacked 1 November on Mahaseth Road, not 10 November; the DB date is the first arrest),
365 Las Vegas (The Defiant; 8 News Now is the original but blocks fetches — it is already the source
on case 323, the duplicate record), 388 Verneuil-sur-Seine (Actu17, Mantes Actu), 390 Zoersel (VRT NWS,
NNieuws, In de Gazette — VRT says two intruders, firearm, facial injuries, Korte Maalstraat, 10 January),
430 Homestead (Decrypt, Fortune; the DOJ press release is the primary source but fetches as an empty
shell — copy it by hand from justice.gov/usao-mdnc, "Twelve Defendants Sentenced ... Cryptocurrency").
Still nothing on file for three cases:
- **case 11** (Josoj, London 2017): the only source is a podcast episode (ivoox, Bitcoin Uncensored).
  No text article exists that I could find. Options: transcribe the episode (would be a derived
  text, label it so), or link the LocalBitcoins forum thread where the victim posted, if you know it.
- **case 66** (East Lansdowne BTM, May 2020): the only source is the East Lansdowne Police Facebook
  video. Search Delaware County local press (Delco Times, 6abc, NBC10) for "bitcoin ATM" "East
  Lansdowne" May 2020, or ask the police department for the incident number.
- **case 399** (Dominican Republic, Oct 2025): reported directly to Gart Research by the victim; there
  is no public source. File the victim's own account as the source, labelled as a first-person report.

## New cases pulled from stats.gart.io on 2026-09-09 (ids 463-487)
Twenty-five records added to the export from the live API (they lack the notes / reports /
original_date fields, which the API does not serve). Dossiers built, linked sources fetched and
trimmed. Items for you:
- **Case 476** (Aleksandr, 28, Phuket, Aug 2025) is the Phuket robbery that
  cases-missing-from-database.json said was absent; sheet row 252's article is now filed under it.
  Row 252's URL is still the wrong French link.
- **Case 479** (North Richland Hills, Texas) — `kidnappings` (detention) is 0 but three men forced their
  way in and assaulted the homeowner: set to 1 under the forced-entry rule.
- **Case 468** (Harry Yeh, Asunción) — detention flag is null; nothing on file shows he was held. Set 0.
- **Case 188** was edited on the site since the July export (victim name, violence and weapons
  flags, summary); the merged export now carries the live values.
- **Case 481** (Meléndez family, Mexico) — the summary's "Five homicides, including a pregnant woman, a
  three-year-old child, the family dog, and a domestic worker" miscounts: the prosecutor charges four
  homicides (Jonathan Meléndez, his wife four months pregnant, their daughter aged 3, a 21-year-old domestic
  worker), plus termination of the pregnancy and animal cruelty as separate offences (the dog Nala was shot).
  Reword to "four people killed, the unborn child, and the family dog". `life_taken` = 5 counts the unborn
  child, not the dog; keep 5 if that is the policy, and say so in DEFINITIONS.md.
- The live API does not expose `notes`; if the site holds notes for the new cases, they are not in
  the dossiers.

## Round-up articles needing per-case passage isolation (Claude to do, your review)
One article covers several different cases; each case file must keep only its own passage.
- Known set: 68, 315, 422, 445, 450.
- **375** (Trincity, Trinidad) — its cryptonews article bundles several separate Trinidad incidents (a St. Joseph car theft at para 17 is a different victim) then goes global. Left UNTRIMMED pending isolation.
- **Newly found: 423 and 424** — both link the SAME San Francisco Chronicle article (byte-identical), a multi-victim wrench-attack round-up. Left UNTRIMMED pending isolation so the two files don't cross-contaminate.

## Wrong-source / mismatched cases (the linked article does not describe this record)
- **Case 248** — the linked leparisien.fr article is a DIFFERENT incident (a woman assaulted at home in
  Suresnes, France), NOT the Oslo Norwegian-family home invasion this record describes. That Suresnes
  event is **case 242**, which already has a BFMTV source — move the Le Parisien URL to 242.
  **UPDATE 2026-09-05:** Oslo sources found by web search and filed into 248 (marked "NOT on the DB
  record" in the dossier): Document.no 09.08.2025 (the detailed account: Haugerud, Foodora disguise,
  parents in their 40s, children 4/8/12 taped up, mother threatened with being shot, crypto demanded,
  four men from Sweden aged 18-22), Avisa Oslo 06.08.2025 (police statement, incident reported 23:53
  on Tuesday 5 August), NRK 30.08.2025 (nine charged, one man in his late 20s remanded four weeks,
  straw men rented a hideout flat), Document.no 04.09.2025 (nine charged for aggravated robbery and
  deprivation of liberty, three adults and two minors bound, one threatened with a firearm, one
  subjected to serious violence, two arrested abroad on international warrants). Decisions for you:
  (a) add these URLs to the record; (b) `date` = August 6 but police log the call at 23:53 on
  **5 August** — pick one and say "night of 5-6 August"; (c) the record's "Ledger wallet" search and
  "handler / third-party DB leak" notes do not appear in any Oslo source found — the handler detail
  is a Suresnes fact and probably leaked in from the wrong article; Document.no instead says police
  suspect the job was ordered by people close to the family. Confirm or drop; (d) Document.no says
  three adults were bound per police, while the record says a family with three children — the
  police count (3 adults + 2 minors) and Document's (2 parents + 3 children) disagree; keep both
  with attribution.
- **Case 441** — its fetched sources (url_2, url_3) actually describe case 438 (same Montreal
  home-invasion cluster, wrong incident). Decide: drop them, or move to 438.
- **Case 295** — the Forbes source (url_3) predates the event it is filed under, so it cannot be
  reporting on it. Decide: drop or replace.
- **Case 358** — the DB url points to an unrelated thethaiger dog-in-floods story, not the Bangkok
  kidnapping. Correct the URL and find the real source (also in the source-gap list — it is sourceless).

## Probable duplicate record
- **Case 323 ≡ Case 365** — almost certainly the same incident: three teenagers, a crypto-event host
  kidnapped at gunpoint on the way home, driven to a remote desert (~1 hr out, White Hills AZ), ~$4M in
  crypto + NFTs, released in the desert, victim walked ~5 miles to a gas station, a 4th person on
  speakerphone. 323 (8News, court records) names the charged teens (Belal Ashraf, Austin Fletcher, both
  16, Pasco County FL) and puts the event in **Downtown Las Vegas** — so 365's `notes` "Downtown LA" is a
  typo. Decide whether to merge 365 into 323. (365's summary drops the city to avoid asserting the error.)

## DB record / flag corrections (surfaced while writing summaries — apply on the website)
Authoritative correction lists already exist: `corrections-register.json` (35 fixes, with status) and
`corrections-for-database.json` (per-record: id 321 victim, id 307 description, id 258 archive link,
id 460 name/ownership/amount/scene-list/weapons, id 462 weapons note, sheet row 18 scenario, sheet
row 252 wrong URL / Phuket case). Additional items found during the summary pass:
- **Case 67** (Ellis Pinsky, Irvington NY, May 2020) — `description` says "2 men commit home invasion of hacker"; the
  Daily Voice source only reports an indictment for conspiracy to commit the robbery, and the owner confirms the
  plan was foiled. Reword to "planned home invasion, foiled; two indicted for conspiracy". Flags stay 0.
- **Case 334** — bulk summary said "Victim deceased"; WRONG. The victim (unnamed São Paulo businessman)
  survived (thrown from the car, 3 fractured ribs, rescued by a truck driver); `life_taken = 2` is two
  SUSPECTS killed by police. Also clarify whether `life_taken` counts perpetrator deaths (your earlier
  rule was "counts victims", under which 2 would be wrong here).
- **Case 353** — `money_wanted` "100 million rubles" is misattributed (that figure is an unrelated
  Irkutsk case in the same article's tail); this robbery took 100 GPUs / 4 containers, damage only
  "could significantly exceed 1 million" (currency unspecified).
- **Case 301** — bulk summary "180 BTC" was wrong: it was 180 bitcoin mining MACHINES (ASICs).
- **Case 299** — `money_wanted` lists the four amounts as "Euros"; the Guardian source says POUNDS (£).
- **Case 290** — `description` says "$100,000" but the sums taken were Dhs300,000 + Dhs63,000.
- **Case 298** — `description` says "$1,000,000" while `money_wanted`/source say Dh4.12m.
- **Case 219** — `description` "beaten with a stick" contradicts the article (bag simply snatched from
  behind, no violence); the flags (violence/weapons = 0) already match the article.
- **Case 218** — (a) `notes` say the husband fired, but the Daily Star article quotes Amouranth herself
  ("I believe I shot one of them"); (b) `theft = 0` but a MacBook WAS taken (she tracked it via Find My).
- **Case 221** — `date` = March 23 but the article says March 24 (twice); reconcile the day.
- **Case 252** — `description` "tortured for 4 days" and "possible mistaken identity" are not in the
  linked Bitcoin.com article (it says only: held several days, found tied up). Confirm or soften.
- **Case 253** — flags all = 0 but the source shows an abduction, assault (hospitalised), firearm threat
  and a forced crypto transfer → should be kidnappings 1, violence 1, weapons 1, theft 1.
- **`weapons` = 0 but a weapon was involved:** 321, 323 (gunpoint); 290 (knifepoint/blunt objects); 242
  (knives + cleaver seized); 243 (tased); 245 (weapon recovered).
- **`theft` = 0 but property was taken:** 303 (Dh183k + phones/cheques); 297 (Dh1.7m cash); 273 (dog,
  MacBook, jewellery); and see 218 above.
- **`kidnappings` flag — RULE CHANGE 2026-09-06.** The flag is the DETENTION flag (victim held against
  their will, any place, any duration), not "abduction". Please rename the DB field `kidnappings` to
  `detention` and the sheet column "Kidnappings" to "Detention"; the scenario name "Kidnapping" stays.
  Full rule: README-START-HERE.md, "Definitions". Per-case proposals with evidence:
  `detention-flag-review.md` / `detention-flag-corrections.json` (40 records; on 2026-09-06 the owner ACCEPTED all 30 set-to-1 proposals (rule clarified: detention of
  anyone, guards or staff included, counts); on 2026-09-07 the owner set 354, 355 and 124 to 0 and
  withdrew the other set-to-0 proposals under the forced-entry rule; no open items). This REPLACES the earlier item
  "`kidnappings` = 1 but no abduction: 293, 271, 273, 298" — under the detention rule 293 and 271 stay 1
  (held at gunpoint / forced back inside), 273 goes to 0 (stabbed, not held), 298 needs a source check.
- **Case 237** — `violence_torture` = 0 but the source says he was beaten; `theft` = 1 though nothing was
  taken (released once found "broke").
- **Case 228** (NYC SoHo torture) — the linked ABC source withholds the victim's name; the DB `victim`
  field carries "Michael V.T. Carturan". Confirm the name against a primary document before relying on it.

## Sheet-article furniture trim — deferred / accepted items (from the 2026-08-26 pass)
Most furniture was removed cleanly. A few items were left, deliberately:
- **Salford cluster (162, 169, 307, 354, 355)** — these share one Manchester Evening News
  article (sheet row 164) embedded via the special shared-source path, so the furniture
  trimmer did not touch it. It carries a few photo captions ("(Image: GMP)", "(From top left
  to right) - Scott Armstrong…"). Low severity; trim row 164 once, and all five inherit it.
- **Other-case CONTENT (not furniture) left in, to revisit with the round-up bucket:**
  235 Article 2 (France24 arrest piece names the Balland/Noizat incidents — see case 209),
  254 Article 2 (references the Las Vegas case 323 and a France case as context). These are
  coherent articles about a suspect/trend, so cutting is a judgment call, not furniture.
- **Accepted intra-line furniture (cannot remove without editing inside a line, which would
  break the verbatim-line guarantee):** case 204 (a Thai "read the original" link is appended
  to the last body sentence), case 218 ("Article continues below"/"View 4 Images" prefixes are
  fused onto body sentences).
- **Residual furniture the automated scan missed (add to sheet-trim-decisions.json next pass):**
  362 (sheet row 259: "Share / Article / Suggestions" nav lines); 353 (sheet row 133: a trailing
  "Подробнее на Bits.media: <url>" line); 244 (sheet row 245, Article 2: a truncated "Read more at
  <url>" stub).

## Source gaps found by the reconciliation sweep (add to manual queue)
- **Case 66** (Exxon Gas Station, East Lansdowne PA, 2020) — DB url is a Facebook video (facebook.com/watch), not an article. Find a text source.
- **Case 260** (Nate Geier, Singapore, Oct 2025) — DB url is the victim's own X post (x.com/nategeier). Not an extractable article; find reporting or treat the post as a primary quote.
- **Case 358** (35-y-o Chinese man, Bangkok kidnap, Nov 2025) — DB url is WRONG: it points to an unrelated thethaiger dog-in-floods story. Correct the URL AND find the real source.
- **Case 399** (Young trader, Dominican Republic, Oct 2025) — no url in the DB at all and no spreadsheet article. Sourceless; find one from scratch.


## Corrections logged 2026-09-13 (apply on the website)
- **Case 223** (Anson Que and driver, Bulacan, March 2025) — `coin_type` says "$4 million (~₱200 million) via cryptocurrency" and the
  bulk summary repeats "approximately $4 million (~₱200 million)". Neither source supports $4 million. The GMA/PNP report
  (Fajardo) says the family "paid around P200 million through cryptocurrency in several tranches"; the Tulfo column says a
  total of ₱160 million, "first by paying ₱60 million, followed by another ₱100 million". ₱200 million was about US$3.5
  million at 2025 rates, ₱160 million about US$2.8 million; the `description` line "received over $3M in multiple tranches"
  is consistent with the PNP figure. Proposed wording for `coin_type` and the summary's Crypto Demanded/Stolen line:
  "around ₱200 million (about US$3.5 million) paid in cryptocurrency in several tranches, per PNP; Tulfo reports ₱160
  million in two payments (₱60 million, then ₱100 million)". Record-vs-source conflict (₱200M vs ₱160M): both figures kept,
  each attributed; do not pick one. Delete the "$4 million".
- **Case 371** (Chinese businessman "K", Philippines, 12 to 18 December 2022) — the live DB still carries the short
  bulk-import summary ("Chinese businessman ... $100 million USDT ..."). The reviewed and source-verified summary is in
  `summary-overrides.json` under key "371" and in the dossier `sources/371_Chinese-businessman.txt` (block marked
  "revised on review"). Replace the live `summary` with that text verbatim. Two field notes from the same review: `money_wanted`
  "$100 million USDT" is the opening demand, negotiated down through $50M and $20M to an undisclosed final figure, and the
  payment was cash withdrawn by the wife and converted to USDT in a Manila casino the gang used, so `coin_type` should read
  "USDT (converted from cash by the family)"; `victim` should read "Chinese businessman, nickel-mining contractor" rather
  than the bare "Chinese businessman".
