Major Crimes and True Crime

Unbeknownst to the people in the photo, a human body was hidden inside the barrel. The body in question belonged to Edwina Boyle, who lived with her husband Frederick Boyle in Melbourne, Australia. The Boyles had two daughters named Careesa and Sharon, their family life was like any other, at a superficial glance. In 1983, the Boyle family's life was turned upside down by Edwina's sudden disappearance. Frederick had told his daughters that Edwina had left a note saying that she had gone away with a truck driver named Ray. For several years, the Boyles' life had gone on without many problems. Not everyone believed Frederick's version, to the point that Valerie Bordley, Edwina's sister, had shown great concern and had reported her missing in 1994. The police themselves suspected Frederick, as his wife had not brought her clothes with her and had abandoned the car. Several years would pass before the truth came to light. Careesa, th...

On the night of June 13 1982 in Houston Texas-police stopped a black Buick after a pedesn-reported being nearly The police officer who stopped the car, James Harris, ordered the two to get out of the car and put their hands on the hood. While Ricardo was following orders, Roberto pulled out a gun and shot the police officer four times, killing him. Both boys then ran from the scene, and while fleeing, Roberto shot at a passing car, killing the driver. The police then cordoned off the neighborhood where the shooting took place, searching for the two boys. Roberto was found a couple of hours later, hiding in a garage, from where he fired again at another police officer, missing but being killed in the shootout. Ricardo was found shortly after hiding under a trailer, arrested, and taken to the crime scene, where the police were interviewing witnesses. The investigation was conducted completely incorrectly: in searching for the two men house by house, the police forced the ...

This 19 year old young man is Seth Smith. On June 15th, 2020 Seth was walking home, on his own street, about a mile away and listening to music. Which is when this man; Tony Walker, walked up behind Seth, shot him in the head, and said ‘Fuck that White motherfucker’. (Edit, according to Police reports Walker was annoyed about being questioned about the murder. He was bothered that the police were looking into the murder saying ‘a White boy dies and the whole world stops. Fuck that White mothetfucker. The police had not mentioned the victims race previously. So it was a few weeks later when Walker made his race relates statement, not immediately after. As far as I'm concerned, that just makes it that much more heinous. Clearly he had zero remorse, and was more bothered by the police questioning him than the life he took.) Seth and Tony had never met each other before that night. Seth never even saw Walker. Walker later said that he had gone out ...

Left; A 14 year old girl, shortly before her death. Right; Her camera continues to record until the battery dies “Rorochan_1999” or better known as Roro-chan was a Niconico streamer back in 2013. She would do a range of things in her live-streams. From normal things like singing, playing piano and just talking, to things like running across roads with cars going at high speeds, to standing on the edge of high up places. On the night of November 24, 2013 she held a livestream, the stream starting with a shot of her upper body and half-covered face. A minute after the start, she appears to stand in a what appears to be a chair into an elevated position, likely a balcony’s guard rail. From there you can hear the wind and some background noises. After a few minutes or so, after picking up the camera you can hear her breathing heavily. A few moments later she returns to her balcony floor and presumably at this moment, people watching the stream were egging her on to jump. S...

Taken on 13 April 1961, this is last photo of 24 year old Czech maternity nurse Marie Fikackova, just a few moments before she was executed by short drop hanging in the execution cell of Pankrac Prison in Prague. Fikackova was convicted and sentenced to death for murdering two new born babies who were in her care at Suscie Hospital in Czechslovakia. She was by all accounts a popular and respected nurse at her hospital, but one with a dark secret in that she couldn't stand the crying of newborns. She tried to silence the babies by pushing on their craniums, which of course killed both. She also confessed that she had killed and harmed a number of other babies, but this was never proved. I find the picture haunting, as Fikackova looks so calm and normal, despite the fact that she is going to face her imminent death. And it would be a painful and long death, since short drop hanging would mean death by slow strangulation, rather than the relatively quick long drop method whe...

How did this terrible thing happen to her? It all started with her father. Her father, Clark Wiley, grew up in foster homes and was supposedly a machinist for some time near World War II. After a while he decided to marry. Unfortunately, he had the gall to marry - but lacked the will and heart to raise children. The scumbag’s neglect and madness resulted in the death of his first two children. The first baby girl died after being abandoned in a garage. The second baby died not long after birth. The third baby boy survived, but was constantly abused during childhood. The fourth, known by the pseudo-name Genie, suffered possibly the worst fate of them all. She was strapped to a toilet, isolated from humanity and left to quietly suffer for 13 years. Each time she tried to utter a noise, her father beat her. Operant conditioning, in the end, stripped her of the desire to even make basic noises, let alone speak language. Just let that sink in for a second. Imagine what it would be li...

On February 12, 1946, Isaac Woodard, WWII veteran, hours after being honorably discharged, was attacked by South Carolina police while still in uniform when taking the bus home & left permanently BLIND. The officers were acquitted by an all white jury. Isaac enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942 at Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C, and served in the Pacific Theater as a longshoreman in a labor battalion. In February 1946, the decorated soldier received an honorable discharge at Camp Gordon, which is located near Augusta, Georgia. Along with other discharged soldiers, Woodard boarded a Greyhound bus on February 12th to travel home. A conflict was triggered when the white bus driver belittled the army veteran for asking to take a bathroom break. At the next stop, Woodard was met by the Chief Linwood Shull of the Batesburg, South Carolina police. While still in his army uniform, the police forcibly removed him from the bus and arrested him for disorderly conduct. They beat Wo...

In September 1991In September 1991 Mom of 1 Christine Belusko was found brutally murdered on Staten Island and had remained unidentified until 2021, her brother alerted authorities she had a 2 year old daughter Christa, she was last seen with her mom at Mount Airy Lodge in Poconos, PA. Christa hasn't been found. On September 20 1991 Mother of 1 Christine Belusko was found brutally murdered with nearly 20 blows to her head in a patch of weeds off the roadside across from the South Beach Psychiatric Center on Staten Island in New York by two employees from the nearby psychiatric hospital. She was lying face up and handcuffed, wearing a black and pink dress, two gold chains and a watch, on her buttock was a scorpion tattoo. Investigators found a hammer underneath her with “Loyd L” etched into its handle. The hammer was often used by auto body workers to get rid of dents in vehicles. At the time of her death, Belusko was a 30-year-old single mother working for a store called Ra...

He was sentenced for 1000 year in Jail 😳 for the charge of Rape. This is the worst crime and most disgusting crime some one has ever done. He had three women chained up in his basement for 9 years. They were chained up like medieval prisoners. He abused and raped them. One of the girls got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter in that basement and the other two women delivered the baby. Another girl got pregnant several times before that but he kicked her in the stomach to induce a miscarriage (because he didn’t want to have “ugly babies”). It’s so hard for me to fathom Castro's depravity in keeping innocent women as slaves. He tricked each of the women into getting into his car, saying he needed help finding his daughter who was missing. Castro was disgusting. In court, he said that the women wanted to have sex with him. He seemed genuinely confused as to why the world hated him. He was sentenced to 1000 years in prison and convicted of 937 counts of kidnappi...

A Greek Romani mother was forced by the Nazis to select which one of her children was to be put to death. (The 1979 novel Sophie’s Choice[1] by William Styron — and the subsequent 1982 film with the same title — was based on this story (and now you also know what the title means).) Letting a parent “choose” between kids, letting her or him become an implicit murderer of their own kids, is one of the most extreme psychological tortures one can possibly imagine. “What could one expect of a Nazi ?” could be one way of reacting, but I think that “even for a Nazi,” such actions are so despicable that they are simple beyond compare. And imagine this — and this is pure conjecture, but still very realistic. Most probably the Nazi officer in command drove back home that evening, had a nice supper with his wife and children, read them a comforting bedtime story, and then tucked them in, realizing how much he loved his children. And that duality mechanism, dear friends, shows how humans ...

On August 31, 1985, serial killer Richard Ramirez walked into a convenience store in Los Angeles. By that point, he had murdered at least 14 people across California — and he still thought he could pass for an ordinary shopper. But then, he noticed his face on the front page of a newspaper and ran for his life. Unbeknownst to him, the authorities had just released his name and photo to the public while he was traveling back to the city. This gave residents plenty of time to memorize his features and easily recognize him on the street. Before long, an angry mob caught up to him — and beat him so relentlessly that he thanked the police officers who arrested him. Serial killer Richard Ramirez leaves the courthouse after being sentenced to die in California's gas chamber.  Continue reading

Last Picture of Emma (12) and Daniel (38) Brown. On the same day after the picture was taken, Emma shot her father in the abdomen before shooting herself in the head.  Emma Brown, 12, shot her father, Daniel Brown, 38, in the abdomen at their home in Poolville, Texas, around 30 miles from Fort Worth on September 20, 2022. Emma shot herself in the head and died in hospital two days later.  Exclusive pictures obtained  show the father, who survived, and daughter smiling as they posed with a rifle and handguns together before the horror incident. The seventh grade student had plotted to kill her entire family and pets, along with another 12-year-old girl from Lufkin, Texas, though it is unclear how they met.  Parker County District Attorney's office confirmed that the second girl, who has not been identified, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder. A spokeswoman was unable to give details of the sentence handed to the girl, because of Texas state ...

Isabella Guzman, murdered Her Mother In 2013 In 2013 Isabella Guzman was 18 years old when police say she brutally stabbed her mother to death, Yun Hi Moy, 79 times in the face, neck and torso on the upstairs floor of the home. Her stepfather was home and found Guzman standing over his wife, holding a knife. Guzman ran from the home and was arrested the following day. She pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, something prosecutors said was clear. Doctors told the court Guzman was schizophrenic and had suffered highly disturbing delusions for years. He told the court Guzman did not believe her mother was in fact her mother. He testified Guzman believed she was killing a woman named Cecelia in order to save the world. Prosecutors took that evidence very seriously. "We punish people who make decisions to do wrong when they knew better and they could have done something differently. And in this particular case I am convinced, based on the evidence that I've seen ...

In 1992, in England, 16-year-old Suzanne Capper was abducted by six individuals she considered 'friends' and held captive for seven days. In 1992, in England, 16-year-old Suzanne Capper was abducted by six individuals she considered 'friends' and held captive for seven days. They sexually assaulted her, and even pulled out her teeth with pliers. Suzanne was then taken to a field and set on fire.  She managed to survive long enough to flag down a car and name the attackers.  However, Suzanne sadly passed away at Withington Hospital on December 18, 1992, due to multiple organ failure resulting from severe burns covering 80% of the body. The torture and murder arose from the "avenging [of] trivial grievances: a sexual insult, infection with pubic lice and the loss of a pink duffel coat." On 17 December 1993, Jean Powell, aged 26, her ex-husband Glyn Powell, aged 29, and Bernadette McNeilly, aged 24, were sentenced to life imprisonment for their parts in...

Shortly before being executed for the murder of Deputy John Murphy, Dennis Dilda was granted the opportunity to pose for a photograph with his wife and two children. Shortly before being executed for the murder of Deputy John Murphy, Dennis Dilda was granted the opportunity to pose for a photograph with his wife and two children. His final words before the execution were, "Goodbye, boys!" The Hanging of Dennis Dilda In September 1885, Dilda got a job helping to manage William Hamilton Williscraft’s farm. The farmhouse came along with the job and Dilda and his wife and children moved in. Williscraft went to live elsewhere but kept one room in the farmhouse for himself. The room was always securely locked and inside was a locked trunk. Dilda was supposed to have worked alongside the farm’s general caretaker, “General Grant” Jenkins. By December, however, Jenkins had disappeared, and Williscraft noticed the lock had been pried off the door of his reserved r...

In 1946 in Kent, the strangled body of a 46-year-old former telephonist known as Dagmar Peters was found by the side of the road. In the same year, not far along the south coast, in Bournemouth, a hunt was launched for a handsome pilot by the name of Neville Heath, suspected of a foul murder in London. And in Eastbourne, another southern coastal town, Dr John Bodkin Adams, a suspected serial killer, was about to "ease the passing" of another wealthy patient with an injection of morphine. And in that same year, George Orwell wrote an article for Tribune in which he considered just what murder tells us about society.  The essay, prompted by a casual killing carried out by an American army deserter, Karl Hulten, and a teenage waitress, Elizabeth Jones, was called "Decline of the English Murder". Nearly 70 years later, those 1946 cases are being examined in full forensic detail. Are murders a mirror of the society we live in? How much, for instance, can ...

Jerome Brudos was a serial killer who murdered several women in Oregon during the 1960s. Some serial killers kill because they feel alive or feel good. Jerome had an entirely different story. In 1944, when Brudos was just five years old, he found a woman’s heeled shoe at a junkyard. Brudos was fascinated by it and brought it home. Brudos got infatuated with women’s shoes. He stole shoes from his teachers and his mother to satisfy his growing fetish. This same fetish grew into a deadly obsession. When his mother found him wearing the shoes he found as a boy and hence discovered his obsession, she took them away from him and threw them away. Repeatedly rejected by his mother and further repressed sexually(owing to the sexually repressive era he lived in), he turned his pain and anger inward. His anger turned into ferocious hatred for not only his mother but for all women. Jerome started his serious of crimes at the age of 17 when he sexually assaulted a woman....

In 2006, emergency room nurse Suzan Kuhnhausen returned to her empty house after a long hard day at work. All she wanted to do was kick her feet up and relax, but unbeknownst to her, a dark figure was lurking in her home, waiting for their moment to strike. Suzan went to her bedroom to get on her PJs, and as she stepped into the room, a man jumped out from the dark corner of her bedroom and attacked her with a claw hammer. He struck her in the head twice, but she managed to fight back. She struggled with her attacker for 15 minutes before putting him in a chokehold. As she squeezed hard on his windpipe, she screamed, “Tell me who sent you, and I will call you a fucking ambulance.” The man didn’t respond to her request, so she squeezed harder until his body went limp. The amateur assassin Ed Haffey was pronounced dead at the scene when police arrived. Amature Assassin Ed Haffey It turned out that her husband, who she had kicked out of the house, had hired the hitman ...

The photo depicts Barbara Jane Mackle, daughter of billionaire Robert Mackle, and has become a famous photo because of the absurd circumstances of her kidnapping. Then twenty years old, she contracted the Hong Kong flu at Emory University in Georgia, which the girl attended. In order to better care for her, her mother decided to fly from Florida to the home of relatives in Coral Gables, where she was visiting, to move her from the campus to a nearby motel and then bring her back home during the Christmas holidays. On December 17, 1968, the same night they checked into the motel, the two women were surprised by two officers, who were actually Gary Stephen Krist and Ruth Eisemann Schier disguised as a man, who informed her that the girl's close friend Stephen Woodward had been the victim of a car accident. They entered the room and stunned her mother Jane Mackle with chloroform, tied her up, and told Barbara that she had just been kidnapped. The next day, the Mackle...
