Inside The Brutal Cheshire Murders That Rocked Suburban Connecticut William Petit and Jennifer Hawke-Petit lived a normal, peaceful life in the quiet suburban town of Cheshire, Connecticut — the kind of place where it seemed like nothing bad could ever happen. They resided in a nice two-story house with their two daughters, Hayley, a 17-year-old who was preparing to go to Dartmouth, and 11-year-old Michaela, who had a budding passion for cooking. But that sense of calm was forever shattered when two robbers broke into the Petit family's idyllic home on the morning of July 23, 2007, sexually assaulted Jennifer and Michaela, and burned the house down, leaving most of the family dead.  In July 2007, the sense of calm in Cheshire, Connecticut was shattered when two would-be robbers entered the Petit family home — and viciously killed three people inside.

Inside the Stalker Hell of Italian Footballer Fabio Quagliarella When Fabio Quagliarella joined Napoli in 2009, his childhood dreams came true. But the striker's solitary season at the Stadio San Paolo descended into a living hell.  From crooked coppers to stalkers from hell, this is the true crime tale of a Neapolitan nightmare. In 2009, when Naples native Fabio Quagliarella signed a five-year deal to play forward for his hometown club, it seemed life couldn't get any better for him, nor for arguably Italy's most passionate football fans. But after only one season, Quagliarella was sent packing from Naples to play for archrival Juventus. The Societa Sportiva Calcio Napoli faithful—once full of unremitting love for their native son—proved they could express their unmitigated hatred with equal passion.  What the fans did not know—what virtually no one, in fact, knew—until earlier this year was the torment Quagliarella was being subjected to during his time...

An Iowa woman claims that her late father was a serial killer who murdered up to 70 women. She claims to know where the bodies are. Authorities are currently investigating the scene for evidence. According to Lucy Studey, her late father Donald Studey murdered “five or six” women a year over the span of decades. Lucy estimates her father murdered up to 70 women. The alleged victims were mostly sex workers and runways and were said to be buried on a property he owned near Thurman, Iowa. Thurman is about 40 miles south of Omaha, Nebraska near the Iowa-Nebraska border.  Authorities are actively investigating these claims. Authorities have currently found no evidence to corroborate Lucy’s claims, only “hits” from cadaver dogs that suggest the possibility remains may be present in the area. Cadaver hits aren’t considered evidence, but according to Fremont County Sheriff Kevin Aistrope, the investigation and the search more evidence continues. Aistrope said, “We're going to do e...

There has been USA executions, in recent years, where the executed person was innocent Yes. When we look at all the people in Texas who have been found innocent after years of being imprisoned, the odds are there are a number of them. One who immediately comes to mind is Cameron Willingham. Mr. Willingham was found guilty of arson which resulted in the death of his little children, making it murder. He was executed. It is now clear he did not set the fire. The transcripts of the trial read like a bad joke. For example, he had a Black Sabbath poster which the prosecution said was proof of him being a member of some sort of Satanic cult. The couple had moved a refrigerator in front of the back door for lack of space and they did not use the door. This was given as proof that he wanted the children blocked in the house. He bravely moved his car away from the burning house, probably resulting in a number of lives being saved, yet this was given as further proof of murder. Before he was exe...

David Reimer lost his penis in a botched circumcision operation when he was 8 months old. His parents were advised by a Psychologist, John Money, to raise Reimer as a girl and for him to undergo further surgery and hormone treatment to assist his gender reassignment. Throughout his childhood, Reimer and his twin brother became subjects to Money's research. During the visits, the twins were directed to inspect each others genitals and engage in behaviours resembling intercourse. Reimer stated that the Psychologist observed the exercises both alone and with as many as six colleagues. Reimer claimed that despite receiving female hormones, wearing dresses and having his interests directed towards femininity, he always felt that he was a boy. At the age of 15, Reimer's father told him the truth. By age 21, Reimer had received surgery to remove his breasts and reconstruct his penis again. In adulthood, Reimer reported that he suffered psychological trauma due to the experim...

The TBI has shared a new age-progressed photo of Summer Wells, created by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Summer Moon Utah Wells was last reported seen at her home on Ben Hill Road in Hawkins County, TN, around 6:30 pm on June 15th, 2021. Her family says she was heading to the basement to play with her toys. Earlier that day, Summer went with her mother, Candus Wells, to take her grandmother, Candus “Candy” Harer, to the hospital. While waiting for the grandmother’s treatment, Candus took Summer to visit friends in Kingsport, TN. A 15-year-old boy named Hunter joined them after they left the friend’s house. When they picked up the grandmother from the hospital, they stopped for alcoholic drinks and went to a smoke shop for vapes. They also stopped at the Walgreens drive-thru for a prescription but were told it would take 30 minutes. During that time, they went to Warriors Path State Park so Summer could swim. Candus filmed her in the water that day. (Some...

This is a best of the worst story and a memorial to Deserae Turner, who passed away the end of last month. Deserae was a 14 year old girl who was invited by these POS to hang out. Deserae considered one of them to be her “best friend”. The boys were actually sick of Deserae and concocted a plan to shoot her while playing video games. They invited her to a popular hangout location in a drainage ditch which is where they pulled out a gun and shot her in the back of the head as she walked away to leave. The bullet penetrated the right side of her brain. They then left her there to die. It was eight hours before anyone found her in the ditch. Deserae was subjected to at least fifty procedures. Her left side was paralyzed. Doctors didn’t think she would walk again. But she did. Despite her progress, she struggled with breathing, pain, and blood clots. She described her life as a prison and at the age of 22, she decided she would go on hospice. I noted that her GoFundMe...

John List killed his significant other, mother and 3 youngsters on November 9, 1971 in his Westfield New Jersey home, then vanished. The homicides were so carefully arranged that a month passed before anybody thought the mass homicide. John List accepted another I.D., remarried, and, evaded equity for quite a long time. List took the name of his school flat mate, Bob Clark, moved to Denver, found a new line of work as a bookkeeper, ran a vehicle pool for shut-in chapel individuals what's more, carried on with an ordinary life until "America's Most Wanted" described the wrongdoing in May 1989. Fourteen days after the transmission on Fox TV, John List was captured after a neighbor perceived the depiction and called the police.

In 1990, John List was indicted for 5 counts of first degree murder sentence to 5 terms of life detainment. ...

A famous Hungarian case. On 28 May 2000, 11-years-old boy Tamás Till disappeared from Baja, Hungary. On that day, the young boy set off on a bicycle ride to a nearby wildlife park. His parents had made a commitment that he would be home by 1 p.m. However, Tamás Till never returned home. He didn’t even arrive at the wildlife park. The police made a serious mistake early in the investigation by not issuing a warrant immediately. Several false reports also led the authorities to a dead end, and no trace of the boy was found. Several witnesses claimed to have seen the boy at various locations, but those reports proved to be false. The investigation was also hampered by the presence of many strangers in Baja due to local events (Children’s Day and an air show at the local airport). The parents received an anonimous call from a person claiming to know about the whereabouts of their son, and a letter with an inscription “Élek” (I am alive) on it was sent to them. Police suspected th...

Dr Harold Shipman, who killed around 250 of his patients over the course of 30 years. On the other hand nearly all of them were people who would have died within a few months anyway (which was how he was able to pass their deaths off as natural) and he wasn’t cruel: he put them to sleep like dogs with an injection while pretending to treat them. It’s even possible that the first few deaths were genuinely intended as mercy killings. But over the years he grew to enjoy having the power of life and death, and also to get very good at sweet-talking elderly patients into naming him in their wills. He was only caught when he had killed so many that he created a noticeable statistical blip. He’s the reason btw that US gun enthusiasts claim there was a spike in murders in the UK after we tightened up gun controls. The UK counts murders in the year in which they were determined to have been murders, not the year in which the victims died, and Shipman all by himself increased the...
