After the man got into the passenger seat of the car, Ross reportedly pulled a gun and demanded he get into the backseat of the car. When he did so, an unidentified woman made him take off his clothes and then forced him to have sex with her even though he begged her to stop. When a pair of headlights came into view, the victim saw that as his opportunity to flee so he ran out of the car with only his t-shirt on and flagged down the driver who happened to be a cabbie. The taxi driver picked up the man and let him use his phone to take a photo of the license plate on the car of the attackers before dropping him off at his ...

Last Friday, a judge made sure Nicole Finn, the 43-year-old Iowa mother recently convicted of starving her teenage daughter to death, will spend the rest of her life behind bars. Court records obtained by PEOPLE confirm Finn appeared before a Polk County judge and learned her fate: three life sentences, to be served consecutively. Finn, 43, did not comment before her sentencing last week, a court official confirms to PEOPLE.

Natalie stopped walking days before her death, and was found in a soiled adult dia...

Taylor Parker becomes seventh woman on Death Row in Texas NEW BOSTON, Texas (KTAL/KMSS) – Taylor Parker is set to become the seventh woman on Death Row in Texas, following her sentencing Wednesday in Bowie County for the capital murder of Reagan Hancock and the kidnapping her unborn baby, Braxlynn Sage. The baby did not survive. The last woman to be handed a death sentence in the state was Kimberly Cargill in June 2012 for the slaying of her developmentally disabled babysitter in Smith County, who was set to testify against her in a custody battle. None of the women currently on Death Row in Texas are scheduled for execution. According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, six women have been executed in Texas since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, more than any other state, according to Death Penalty Information Center. The last woman to be executed in Texas was Lisa Coleman, on September 17, 2014, for torturing and starving her girlfriend...

A Jackson man, who prostituted runaway kids, was sentenced Tuesday in federal court to serve 32 years in prison. Willie Charles Blackmon Jr., 37, was found guilty in November of two counts of sex trafficking minors and two counts of promoting a prostitution business, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Mississippi.

Subsequent discoveries by police revealed the extent of his disturbing behavior A British man was locked behind bars for the rest of his life in 2021, but his dozens upon dozens of “awful” crimes — including two murders — will “haunt” the families of his victims for the rest of their lives, they say For more than three decades, David Fuller, a necrophiliac murderer, believed he had gotten away with the 1987 murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce — along with sneaking off and sexually abusing corpses at his day job as an electrician at the Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Pembury, roughly 40 miles southeast of London, for what authorities believe to be decades. Fuller’s crimes “will haunt me forever and the rest of my life,” said the mother of Fuller's 9-year-old victims while testifying at his 2021 ...

A couple who subjected children to a decade of sex and drug abuse, including rape, have been jailed. Nicholas Taylor, convicted of 62 offences, and wife Joan, found guilty of 22, were "master manipulators", police said. Nicholas, 47, was jailed for life, with a minimum term of 18 years and Joan, 43, was also given an 18-year term. Sentencing the couple from Northampton, the judge at Leicester Crown Court described Nicholas as "a monster". As he was sentenced Nicholas gave a thumbs up and said "yeah, spot on" from the dock. 'No redeeming characteristics' Judge Nicholas Dean QC said: "You caused children to become addicted to drugs and you used their bodies for your pleasure. "In truth your behaviour stems from craven lack of any moral compass and your depraved appetite for drugs and sexual gratification. "You raped children. You are an intelligent man, but a monster." ...

Woman, now 24, opens up about being sold into slavery by her parents and kept imprisoned by couple for FOUR years A 24-year-old new mother calls her life 'heaven' now, but it didn't always used to be that way. In 1998, at just 8-years-old, Shyima Hall was sold into slavery by her parents in Egypt. She spent the next four years working 20 hours days for a family that hit her, called her stupid, and kept her in a cell-like bedroom. Hall finally got her taste of freedom two years after the family she worked for moved to California, and child services received an anonymous tip about her existence. Now she has written a book, Hidden Girl, shedding more light on her dark years as a servant and how she's bounced back to create a life of her own. 'I want people to know this can happen. Slavery is not in the history book. It's right next to you,' she told People magazine. Hall was one of 11 children born to her parents in the slums south of Alexandria. She sa...

On Wednesday in open court, she said she’d gazed into the 14-year-old’s eyes as she was being choked to death while simultaneously telling the girl “it was OK to go.” Sara Packer testified Wednesday as part of an ongoing sentencing hearing for 46-year-old ex-boyfriend Jacob Sullivan, who pleaded guilty last month to raping, abusing, and killing teenaged Grace Packer, whose dismembered body was found by hunters in October 2016.

He then preserved Grace’s remains in cat litter for three months before chopping up her body and dumping it in a remote area of Pennsylvania. “I took her hand and told her it was OK to go,” the Philadelphia Inquire...

On January 23, 1897, Zona Heaster Shue of Greenbrier County, West Virginia was found dead inside her home by a neighborhood boy It was unclear what had caused the young woman's death, especially because her sobbing husband Erasmus "Trout" Shue refused to stop cradling her head and got upset whenever the coroner tried to examine her body. Shue's cause of death was first listed as an "everlasting faint," then switched to childbirth, even though she wasn't actually pregnant — and with that, the case was closed. But about one month after Shue's death, her mother Mary Jane allegedly started receiving a startling nocturnal visitor: the ghost of her daughter. According to Mary Jane, her daughter's spirit came to her bedside and told her that she had been murdered by her husband, all because she hadn't cooked him what he wanted for supper. Word of Shue's ghost quickly spread through the small town and Mary Jane soon convinced the coroner to condu...

Josef Mengele, often referred to as the "Angel of Death," was a German SS officer and physician in Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. I have developed a comprehensive psychological profile of Dr. Josef Mengele based on my knowledge and expertise. Grandiose Narcissism : Mengele exhibited extreme narcissistic traits, believing himself to be superior to others and having a grandiose sense of self-importance. He felt entitled to make life-and-death decisions over the prisoners in the camp. Severe Psychopathy : Mengele displayed psychopathic tendencies, including a lack of empathy and remorse for his cruel and  inhumane   experiments  on prisoners, particularly twins and children. Severe Sadism : He derived pleasure from inflicting suffering on others. Mengele's  experiments , which often involved subjecting individuals to unbearable pain and torture without anesthesia, reflect his sadistic nature. Deception a...
