Miranda Barbou and Elytte Barbour were lovers who later got married. One of the things they wanted to do together was kill someone.

Image: LaFerrara’s wife (bottom left), and LaFerrara. On November 11, 2013, Miranda and LaFerrara met at a parking lot in Hummel's Wharf, Pennsylvania. After the payment was finalized, they drove in Miranda's car to a place where they were supposed to carry out the act, but Miranda's husband, who was hiding in the backseat of the car under a blanket, jumped out and strangled LaFerrara before Miranda stabbed him to d-eath. LaFerrara's body was discovered the next day, and his last phone call led the investigators to Miranda and her husband. On September 18, 2014, they were sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole. In this cas...

In 1971, 46-year-old John List lost his job at a bank and couldn't bear to tell his family the truth. After a failed job search, he would later say that he had only one option: murdering his family and disappearing. He believed that without money, his family would turn away from God and therefore miss heaven. To ensure they went to heaven, he decided to murder them while their hearts were still right with God. After methodically shooting his wife, mother, and two children, List made himself a sandwich, closed all his bank accounts, and cheered for his only surviving son, John, at his high school soccer game. He gave him a ride back to their Westfield, New Jersey, home, then shot him in the chest. He slept in the mansion where his family lay dead, then walked out the door the next morning. He changed his name, relocated to Colorado, and even got married. He was arrested 18 years later and died in prison.  Continue reading

Executing The Beautiful Spectre. Seen here are several former SS camp guards and overseers executed after the first Stutthof trial, in 1946. The Stutthof trials were a series of war crime tribunals held in Poland for the prosecution of former Stutthof concentration camp staff and officials. The Stutthof concentration camp was the first German concentration camp outside German borders in WWII, located near the village of Stutthof, Free City of Danzig(now Gdánsk, Poland). Stutthof was originally a civilian internment camp, but eventually expanded and became a vast network of forced-labor camps. It turned into a regular concentration camp in early 1942. A crematorium and gas chamber were added in 1943-44, to be used as a part of the final solution. Over 60 000 prisoners of Stutthof and its subcamps died as a result of executions, disease, starvation, brutal treatment, forced labour ,and death marches after forced evacuations. Soviet forces liberated Stutthof on May...

The Case of Peter Bergmann In June 2009, a man with graying hair and a leather jacket arrived in Sligo, Ireland, on a bus. His intention, it seems, was to disappear without a trace. His whereabouts and real name remain a mystery; the only thing that is certain is that he traveled extensively to erase all evidence of his existence before dying on a beach at Rosses Point. When his body was found, he had no documents with him, nor anything that could give any clue to his identity. Even the labels on his clothes had been removed. The man arrived at the Sligo bus station on June 12, 2009 at 6:28 p.m. He was carrying a shoulder bag and a larger duffel bag. He took a taxi to the Sligo City Hotel, paid for his room in cash, and gave the name Peter Bergmann and an address in Austria. The man had a strong German accent, but investigations after his death revealed that there is no Peter Bergmann in Europe, America or South America who fits the description of the mystery man and that th...
