Major Crimes and True Crime

The piece of shit on the right hand side of the picture is  Mick Philpot. All of his life he was a waster, a loser, never worked, and fathered SEVENTEEN children with five different women. He did this so that he would have a free life with handouts and free housing coming from the government. Or, the taxpayer, I should say. He started making demands to his local government for a bigger house because he had so many kids living with him and his mistress. The local government refused. He then devised a a new tactic — to destroy the house he was living in at the time; the local government would then be compelled to rehouse him, and his tribe. One evening, a blaze swept through the house. Not only did it destroy the building and everything inside, but it also killed six of his children aged from five to thirteen years old. His plan had been to start the fire, wait for it to take hold, “rescue" his kids, become the local hero and get a nice new free house. Obviously, th...

Fetus found in Texas woman’s purse during arrest for drug possession A fetus was discovered inside a San Antonio woman’s purse while she was being arrested for drugs in a park Thursday night. Bernadette Rivera, 32, had several felonies worth of narcotics, including heroin and methamphetamine, on her — reportedly near her private area, sources told KENS-TV. During the search, Rivera openly told officers of the fetus in her purse and explained that she recently had a miscarriage. “Rivera left the hospital with the remains deciding that she would determine” the disposal of them, said San Antonio Police Department Public Information Officer Romana Lopez. Officers discovered decomposing tissue about two inches long inside a small plastic Q-Tip box covered by napkins inside Rivera’s purse, San Antonio police reported. The fetus was estimated to be about 8 weeks old. Detectives determined that Rivera’s possession of the fetus was not a criminal case and she is only being charged with ...

Man Sentenced to 650 Years in Prison in Brutal 1980s Sex Crimes DNA on an envelope helped to seal the fate of Steven Ray Hessler, who prosecutors said violently assaulted seven women, a 16-year-old girl and two men in Shelby County, Ind., from 1982 to 1985. Steven Ray Hessler, 59, an elusive rapist who terrorized victims in Shelby County, Ind., in the 1980s often disguised himself in a bulky coat and covered his face with a ski mask or leggings, prosecutors said.Credit...Shelby County Prosecutor’s Office For decades, the police in Shelby County, Ind., could not identify the man who broke into houses at night, armed with a knife or a gun, woke his victims, and then bound and sexually tortured them. He often disguised himself in a bulky coat and covered his face with a ski mask or leggings. Then, in 2020, 35 years after his last known assault in the county, investigators were finally able to identify the attacker as Steven Ray Hessler, and arrest him. The breakthrough cam...

BORN 🐣 : 1957 Convicted El Paso serial killer David Leonard Wood is scheduled to be executed in March 2025.

David and Catherine Birnie: The macabre and sadistic Moorhouse murderers A decade before the Claremont serial killings, a series of murders by the Birnies were among the most macabre and sadistic crimes in history. As the mammoth trial today of the man police allege is the notorious Claremont serial killer, it is worth remembering a deadlier case in the Perth suburbs. It was about 10 years earlier than Claremont, with at least five victims, and an added factor that meant the victims didn’t really have a chance. Stalking the Perth suburbs in 1986 was not only a dangerous sexual psychopath but also his de facto wife, luring women with her falsely reassuring presence into the couple’s car. Once the victim was back at their house of horrors, chained to a bed, Catherine Birnie would cheer on, photograph or record David Birnie in his rape, torture and murder. The killings would become known as the Moorhouse murders after the address of that house where they took place. The Bi...
