Major Crimes and True Crime

A seventeen year old girl named Lisa McVey had been abused at home for many years, sometimes even molested at gunpoint by a relative. She was ready to end her life, and began writing a suicide note explaining why she did what she set out to do… The very next day — the day she decided would be her last — McVey was kidnapped by a man named Bobby Joe Long, a serial killer with ten previous victims. McVey decided she would talk her way to freedom, and was able to persuade Long to let her go. She made sure to be sociable, friendly, agreeable and evoke pity by telling him she was an only child and her father was terribly ill. It worked, and McVey was released. She then went home and committed to memory all the details she remembered of her abductor, his house, his car and the directions they took. Despite having been blindfolded, her descriptions were so accurate they ultimately led to his capture. She’d also deliberately left fingerprints all over his house in unguarded moments — she’d been...

On October 22, a bomb went off inside the Romanian army headquarters. Nobody knows for sure who did it, but the Romanians instantly blamed the Jewish people and communists who lived in the city. The next few days were pure horror. Soldiers started rounding up Jews and hanging them in the streets. In one single day, more than five thousand people were killed. Little Roza, her mom, and her dad were forced into a group of survivors marched to old warehouses and barns outside town. A three-year-old girl must have been so frightened and confused, holding tight to her parents’ hands. Once the buildings were packed with people, the soldiers locked the doors, poured gasoline, and set every...

Her father told her he would take her once he finished untangling his fishing line. But when he looked up, Diane was no longer there. Her parents quickly raised the alarm, and police began a large search of both the land and wa...
