Bizarre Cases of the missing and murdered

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_of_Heilbronn

The Phantom of Heilbronn, often alternatively referred to as the "Woman Without a Face", was a hypothesized unknown female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at numerous crime scenes in Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009. The six murders among these included that of police officer Michèle Kiesewetter, in Heilbronn, Germany on 25 April 2007.The only connection between the crimes was DNA, which as of March 2009 had been recovered from 40 crime scenes, ranging from murders to burglaries. In late March 2009, investigators concluded that the "Phantom" criminal did not exist, and the DNA recovered at the crime scenes had already been present on the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples; they belonged to a woman who worked at the factory where they were made.

In 1986, the United Way attempted to break the world record for balloon launches, by releasing 1.5 million balloons in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

Volunteers worked for hours filling balloons with helium under a giant net. When the net was released, the balloons rose to the sky. The massive balloon cloud blossomed over the city, almost like an explosion of color. It was supposed to be a triumphant publicity stunt, but unfortunately, it was about to go terribly wrong. A storm was moving in from the Great Lakes that day, and the winds pushed the balloons back down over the city. With nowhere to go, the sky was filled with an impenetrable cloud of balloons.

The crew of the coast guard search and rescue helicopter said they felt like they were flying through an asteroid field. Tragically, two people died when Coast Guard helicopters were unable to reach their overturned boat. They simply couldn't fly in the skies filled with 1.5 million balloons. When they finally got off the ground, they were searching for the heads of the drowning victims, but couldn’t tell the difference between them and the balloons that covered the surface of the water. The whole event was supposed to be a fundraiser for charity, but ended up costing the city millions in lawsuits, and created cleanup headaches for weeks.

Three Wisconsin brothers repeatedly assaulted younger sister for years, according to police, and the children’s father reportedly shrugged it off and did nothing to intervene.

TMJ 4 reports that three brothers, identified in a criminal complaint as James Keene, 29, Elijah Keene, 27, and Josiah Keene, 20, are facing several “sexual assault of a child” charges. The brothers’ father, Brian Keene, 62, faces neglect and failure to act on sexual abuse of a child charges.

According to the criminal complaint, Elijah Keene admitted to police he “was addicted” and sexually assaulted his three younger sisters in their South Milwaukee home for around six years. The victims are now between the ages of 10 to 19.

Brian Keene allegedly admitted that he knew something was going on, but shrugged it off to his sons having “raging hormones.” He then asked the officer if he sons were being arrested, and said he relied on them for income.

Police were alerted to the abuse on April 8, when someone sent a tip regarding a suspicious vehicle at the home. According to Fox 6, an officer arrived and spoke with a female, 19, who claimed the home was “unsafe.” Afterward, the officer went inside to take statements from the children in the home.

Upon walking into the home, the officer noticed a filthy mess throughout the residence. The children’s clothing had a bad smell, as if they hadn’t bathed or washed their clothes in quite some time.

The children told the officer that the “house was very dirty, they were not going to school, there were holes in the walls and floors and they used space heaters because there was no heat,” the complaint read.

The officer took the children to the police station for official statements, where authorities learned about the sexual abuse.

The victims told police that all three brothers brought them to the basement on multiple occasions. The brothers forced the girls to perform sexual acts on them, the complaint read.

KINGS COUNTY, Calif. -- Convicted murderer Jaime Osuna was arraigned on new murder charges on Thursday.

He's accused of killing his cellmate at Corcoran State Prison last month, in a particularly grisly fashion.

"This is probably the most unusual and gruesome case that I've had in my career," said Kings County Assistant District Attorney Phil Esbenshade.

He says Osuna decapitated Luis Romero, and then proceeded to sever several of his body parts, including an eye and a finger.

He's also accused of cutting out part of a lung.

Romero bled to death and was found by prison staff during a morning security check.

"There was a weapon located inside the cell," Esbenshade said. "It looked like it had been manufactured from some sort of razor that may have been issued. It had some string around it so that's the only weapon that was located inside the cell."

Osuna killed and tortured a Bakersfield woman in 2011.

Osuna is also facing gassing charges, filed earlier this year.

Prosecutors say he threw blood at a correctional officer from some type of carton.

Osuna will be back in court in late June for a preliminary hearing setting.

Romero had been incarcerated since 1992.

The residents of Babbling Book Drive in Saginaw, Texas, often noticed two people who roamed the streets alone. One was 6-year-old Alanna Gallagher, a friendly little girl who loved Veggie Tales and the colour purple.1 She was much too young to be outside alone but she could often be spotted on her purple bicycle in pursuit of finding friends.

“Alanna was a gregarious child, known to many neighbours. She was also known to walk the neighbourhood alone, calling on friends to play,” recalled a neighbour. She lived at home with her mother, her father, and her mother’s other boyfriend. They were in a polyamorous relationship and co-parenting Gallagher and her siblings. While the family were mostly well-liked, the fact that they allowed their young daughter to play alone unsupervised raised many questions from neighbours.

The other person who roamed the same neighbourhood was 17-year-old Tyler Lane Holder who lived several doors away. Former classmates and friends of Holder would describe him as a “socially awkward” teenager who often joked about rape and made people feel uneasy.2 “He was the kid that you were always really nice to because you didn’t know if he was going to come shoot up the school,” recalled Mikayla Dawson, one of his classmates. Much like Gallagher, Holder could also frequently be spotted wandering the streets alone.

On the 1st of July, 2013, their paths collided.

On that fateful afternoon, Gallagher had been on her usual pursuit of finding somebody to play with. At around 2PM, she knocked on a neighbour’s door and asked if she could play with their grandson. “She just loves my grandson. She really wanted to play,” recalled the neighbour. The grandson, however, was going to the mall with his grandmother and couldn’t play with Gallagher. She said she would wait for him to get back and continued to wait outside their house. This was the last time she was never seen alive.

Gallagher hadn’t even been reported missing when a couple of boys found her body at Roundrock Drive and Cindy Lane, just a few short miles from her home, at around 7PM that evening. She was partially naked and wrapped up in a grey tarp and a brown leather belt. Plastic bags were wrapped around her head with duct tape around her neck. Her hands and feet had been bound with duct tape and she had been stuffed inside a black trash bag. She had been raped and then suffocated. Her body showed signs of head and face trauma as well as abrasions and bruising on parts of her body including fingertip injuries to her lower abdomen. Her autopsy concluded that at some point either before or after her murder, Gallagher had been immersed in water, potentially to wash away any evidence. Nevertheless, sperm and other DNA was retrieved from the crime scene.3

The body remained unidentified until later on that night when Gallagher was finally reported missing. It was 9:15PM when her mother flagged down a police car to inform them her daughter was gone. Despite this, Holder was reportedly telling people that the body that had been found was Gallagher. As police and neighbours gathered on Gallagher’s street, Holder was acting suspiciously. He was spotted pacing up and down the street. His peculiar behaviour arose suspicions amongst neighbours and police and a search warrant was issued for his home. Several items were removed from the home and Holder provided a DNA swab. Days later, the DNA test came back as match to that found at the crime scene. In addition, his DNA was found on a belt buckle found at the crime scene and dog hair found inside the plastic bag matched dog hair found inside Holder’s home. Police also retrieved trash bags from his home which matched the trash bag Gallagher was found in.4

When the DNA match was made, police rushed to Holder’s home with an arrest warrant. As they approached the door, Holder said he wasn’t going to speak to them before he produced a handgun from behind him and opened fire on the officers. He shot Arlington Police Detective Charles Lodatto in the groin before being tackled to the ground by another officer. During the scuffle, Holder received a gunshot wound to the head before being apprehended. The officers had hoped Holder would surrender peacefully which is why they didn’t think it be necessary to use a SWAT team to serve the arrest warrant. Both Lodatto and Holder were rushed to hospital where they made a full recovery.

As it soon became known, Holder had lured Gallagher to his home when his mother was out at work. Once inside, he sexually tortured the youngster before strangling her to death with his belt and some plastic bags.5 Alanna Gallagher’s funeral was conducted at Calvary Lutheran Church in Richland Hills and she was subsequently buried at Greenwood Cemetery.

Due to his young age, Holder avoided the death penalty. In 2012, the Supreme Court declared that life sentences without parole were unconstitutional for defendants under 18. Holder pleaded guilty to a murder charge and was sentenced to life in prison. He also pleaded guilty to an attempted capital murder charge for shooting the officer and received a 40 year sentence. Holder must serve at least 50 years before getting a chance at parole. During his trial, Gallagher’s mother, Laura Gallagher, gave a victim impact statement: “It does not bring her back to us. No matter how much suffering you undergo in prison, it won’t be as much as all the people who knew and loved Alanna have been and will continue to be suffering. I hope you remember this and that you live with shame for what you have done, every day that you live, every day that Alanna is gone from us

Update on Madeleine Mccann case...

Portuguese police probing ‘new suspect’ in Madeleine McCann disappearance

https://nypost.com/2019/05/03/portu...ew-suspect-in-madeleine-mccann-disappearance/

A sex fiend who speaks English and wears a surgical mask is understood to be the kidnapper Portuguese police now fear may have snatched Madeleine McCann.

Detectives are now following this lead after they discovered that a man reportedly known to local police carried out nearly 30 attacks within a 40-mile radius of the holiday apartment in Praia da Luz from which Madeleine vanished 12 years ago Friday.

A judicial source is reported to have confirmed the unnamed man was definitely in Portugal at the time the British 3-year-old disappeared.

The insider also alleged the man was known to local cops and had previously been investigated on suspicion of involvement in pedophile cases.

He allegedly crept into Algarve properties rented by families, and many victims were British. In one case, a 7-year-old girl from the UK reportedly woke to find the pervert lying next to her in bed wearing a medical mask.

Portuguese cops are believed to be working on a tip from Scotland Yard about an alleged foreign pedophile.
 
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2...e-extraordinary-tale-of-ruevines-use-brothers

In October 1927, the circus came to Roanoke, Virginia. It was a vast affair. There were four locomotives, 100 railcars, 1,600 people, five rings, six stages, elephants and high-wire acts. Among the attractions arriving in town were two albino African-American men called George and Willie Muse, famous across the United States as Eko and Iko, the sheepheaded cannibals from Ecuador. But the Muse brothers weren’t from Ecuador: on that day, as their train pulled up, George and Willie were coming home.

Eko and Iko were, writes Roanoke-based journalist Beth Macy in her new book about the brothers’ extraordinary lives, perfect freakshow acts to captivate white punters jaded by the usual fare of bearded ladies, tattooed men, giants and dwarves. Circusgoers were used to seeing black men posing as wild men in cages, where they would pretend to subsist on raw meat and bit the heads off chickens and snakes. Eko and Iko offered something different, if no less racist. “They were unique,” writes Macy. “They were good musicians. And they dressed in finery with red sashes and tuxedos – the outfit topped off by that explosive, anachronistic hair. They were far more interesting than they were grotesque.”
Circusgoers would pay the equivalent of $30 in today’s money to be photographed with Eko and Iko.
But throughout their circus careers, George and Willie were often billed as things they were not. They were not only cannibals from Ecuador, but Monkey Men and Ministers from Dahomey. At one point newspapers gleefully reported the nonsense that John Ringling had found the two brothers floating off the coast of Madagascar. Their act was even given a racist, pseudo-scientific spin when they were presented as Darwin’s missing link between humans and apes.

In reality, George and Willie were two men from Virginia who, even as small children, had toiled from dawn to dusk in tobacco fields near their home in Truevine, Franklin County, walking rows of plants looking for bugs and squashing them between their fingers. Until, that is, the day in 1899 when George, six, and Willie, nine, were spotted by a “freak hunter” called James Herman “Candy” Shelton.

The story told in Truevine is that he offered them candy as they worked in the fields and then kidnapped them. For years after their abduction, Shelton acted as the brothers’ manager as they toured the US in a series of circuses, using the money they earned to pay for their board, lodging and clothes, but never letting them have their wages. They were not seen again by their parents, Harriett and Cabell Muse, until autumn 1927.
When the circus came to Roanoke in October 1927, the brothers were being billed as something even stranger than Ecuadorian savages. “Are they ambassadors from Mars?” asked the poster of the brothers hanging outside the sideshow. According to the story, Eko and Iko had been spotted in 1923 climbing from a hole near the wreckage of their spaceship in the Mojave desert. The idea that these supposed Martians would be playing popular tunes in a tent in Virginia didn’t make a lick of sense, but that didn’t deter the crowds.

At Roanoke fairgrounds on that autumn day, George on mandolin and Willie on guitar were playing It’s a Long Way to Tipperary when one of the brothers noted something unusual – a black woman had managed to elbow her way to the front of the mostly white crowd. “There’s our dear old mother,” said George. “Look, Willie, she is not dead.” They laid down their instruments and rushed to hug the woman they had not seen for at least 13 years. George and Willie had been told that their mother was dead by Candy Shelton in order that they give up any dreams of going home.

Whatever the truth of how George and Willie became Eko and Iko, certainly the brothers had been trafficked for at least 13 years when they were reunited with their mother. And on that autumn day, Harriett wanted payback. She was, clearly, an extraordinary woman: three days after she faced down the circus proprietors and city cops in that sideshow tent and reclaimed her sons, she started legal proceedings against the Ringling Brothers and Shelton. The brothers had been, her lawyer argued, held against their will, and turned into slaves. In a settlement, the circus agreed to pay back wages and, later, the kidnapper-turned-manager Shelton was dispatched to sweeten the deal: if the brothers returned to the circus, not only would a portion of their salary be paid to their parents, but their other brother Tom would be hired to work as a roustabout.

Back in the US, the Eko and Iko act proved lucrative for years, keeping them in work until the late 50s. Their father, depicted throughout Truevine as a dangerous spendthrift and wastrel, was murdered by a husband who found him in bed with his wife. Meanwhile, Harriett repeatedly used the law to ensure that her sons got paid, that the circuses they worked for informed her of their whereabouts, and that some of their earnings came to her. She used the money she saved that way to buy land in Franklin County, where she hoped she would see her boys later live. That was not to be: she died aged 68 in 1942. But the nest egg saved from her sons’ wages went towards buying a house in Roanoke where George and Willie lived in retirement, cared for by other women in their family.

At his trial in Jackson County, the lead investigator, chief deputy Ross Mellinger of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, told jurors that Ben Taylor was watching pornography and listening to music at around the same time he allegedly raped and murdered the infant.

Cell Phone records displayed at the court showed that the 33-year-old had searched for pornography from 2:52 am to 3:17 am on October 3, 2016, before his girlfriend at the time, Amanda Adkins, woke up alone in bed. Her boyfriend (Taylor) and infant daughter were both missing. A subsequent search of the house led to her finding him kneeling over a lifeless Emmaleigh. She testified in court that she had found him "shirtless with his pants unbuttoned and leaning over her naked, injured daughter." Emmaleigh covered in blood and unresponsive.

Mellinger said Taylor had subsequently made a nine-second call to a contact listed as "Home" at 4:54 am, which is before police responded to Adkins' 911 call and arrived at his residence a little while later. The infant regained a pulse in the ambulance but died in the Charleston Hospital two days later.

Looks like the Clint Eastwood movie The Changeling is partly based on that case.

https://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/serial-killers/wineville-chicken-coop-murders/

In 1928, southern California was booming. Agriculture and the movie industry had transformed this area into a lively metropolis. However, a string of child abductions and murders in the small town of Wineville changed the views of the city. A man named Gordon Stewart Northcott kidnapped, sexually abused, and murdered at least three, and possibly as many as twenty, young boys. It is believed that he had the help of his mother and his Canadian nephew to commit these crimes.

On March 10, 1928, Walter Collins disappeared. This nine-year-old boy was last seen around 5:00 PM by a neighbor at the corner of Pasadena Avenue and North Avenue 23 in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles. His mother, Christine Collins, gave him some money to go see a movie at a nearby theatre. His father was in Folsom State Prison for robbery.

The Los Angeles Police Department was already under investigation for several corruption scandals and their inability to locate Walter Collins was rather embarrassing. The police chief, James Davis, was under a lot of pressure to solve the case. The police looked along Lincoln Park Lake but were unable to find anything. Collins’ father thought former prison inmates were responsible for his son’s disappearance in an attempt to get revenge. He worked at the prison’s cafeteria and was responsible for reporting other inmates’ infractions. With this sort of job, it is possible that he made more than a few enemies.

Several tips came in, but nothing turned out to be very useful. A gas station attendant in Glendale, Richard Strothers, reported seeing a dead boy wrapped in newspaper in the back of a car when a “foreign” couple stopped to ask for directions. A man named C.V. Staley followed the couple when they left the gas station. The couple stopped for a few moments in front of the police station and then sped out of town losing Staley. When the police showed Strothers and Staley Walter Collins’ photo, they both said he was the boy in the back of the car. Other tips came in about a couple traveling across the state with a boy who was begging them to let him go.

Walter’s disappearance wasn’t the only one around this time. Nelson and Lewis Winslow, ten and twelve-years-old, went missing on their way home to Pomona on May 16, 1928. Their parents received strange letters from them. The first said they were heading to Mexico and the second said they planned to stay missing as long as they can to become famous.

The police didn’t connect these two disappearances together at first. They also didn’t find a connection between these cases and the headless body of a Latino boy they found in La Puente in February. And with none of these connections made, a neighbor’s complaint about a man mistreating a boy at his poultry farm didn’t appear to be relevant either.

In August 1928, Illinois police picked up a boy who told them his name was Arthur Kent. At first he would say only that his father abandoned him, so they placed him with a temporary family. Eventually he told them his real name was Walter Collins from Los Angeles and that he had been avoiding their questions to protect his father. Illinois police contacted California police, sent photographs of the boy, and later sent him to Los Angeles. California authorities contacted Christine Collins and showed her the photos of “her son.” She immediately said that he was not her son. However, Captain J.J. Jones talked her into “trying out” the boy for awhile.

Three weeks after their reunion, Christine Collins brought the boy back to the police station. She brought with her Walter’s dental records and signed statements from people who knew Walter saying that this boy was not him. Captain Jones called her a lunatic and claimed she was trying to get the state to take care of her child and believed she was just trying to embarrass the police department. He threw her into a psychiatric ward in Los Angeles County General Hospital on a “Code 12” which allowed police to get rid of troublemakers by throwing them into psychiatric hospitals.

In September 1928, a Canadian woman named Winnefred Clark contacted U.S. authorities to tell them that her nephew had kidnapped and was holding her son, Sanford Wesley Clark, in California. Jessie Clark was worried about her 15 year-old brother since he left two years prior with their uncle, Gordon Stewart Northcott, who was only 21 at the time. Jessie decided to go to Northcott’s ranch in Wineville, California to check on things. In the few days she stayed, she found out her uncle was abusing her brother and was involved in something very strange. Her uncle even attacked her too.

On September 15, 1928, Sanford told investigators that his uncle kidnapped him and had physically and sexually abused him. He also said Northcott had forced him to watch the abuse and murders of Walter Collins, Nelson and Lewis Winslow, and other boys. Sometimes he even made him participate in these acts. Northcott abducted boys to rape them and when he got bored, he would lead them into the incubator room to see hatching chicks and kill them with an ax. To destroy the evidence, Northcott covered their bodies in quicklime.

Sanford also said Northcott had killed a Latino boy in La Puente. They both killed Walter Collins because the boy had seen Northcott help another man kill his mining partner. Sanford told the police that they could find graves near the chicken coop for the Winslow brothers and Walter Collins. Two graves were found but the full bodies were not there, only pieces of bone. Axes found among other farm equipment had human hair and blood on them. Several bones were scattered across the ranch, which pathologists later determined to be from male children. Inside the house, a book checked out to one of the Winslow boys was found. Also more letters to their parents were written. A child’s whistle and several Boy Scout badges were found. Nothing that could be directly attributed to Walter Collins was found.

Northcott’s father, Cyrus George Northcott, told police two days later that his son had admitted the murders to him. But by that time, Northcott and his mother, Louise Northcott, had left town. The Los Angeles Police Department initially continued to insist that Christine Collins had her son. They only discontinued this belief when a handwriting expert came in to analyze their writing styles. The expert concluded that this boy’s handwriting was definitely not a match to the samples collected from previous years. The strange “R’s” the boy used was commonly taught in Illinois but not found in California.

The boy eventually told the truth. He admitted several other aliases as well. He said he had decided to try to pass off as Walter Collins when someone had mentioned he looked like the missing boy. Arthur Hutchins, 12 years-old, had assumed Collins’ identity in an attempt to go to Hollywood to meet his cowboy hero, Tom Mix. His stepmother picked him up in Los Angeles and took him back to their Illinois home. He didn’t appear to have any remorse for his actions and said Christine Collins must have known he wasn’t her son so it was just a big game for them both. Shortly after Arthur Hutchins went home, Christine Collins was released from the institution.

On September 20, 1928, Gordon Stewart Northcott was arrested in British Columbia. They arrested his mother, Sarah Louise Northcott, in Alberta. In December, the police took Northcott back to his ranch in an attempt to get more information. While there, he verbally confessed to five murders, including the Winslow brothers, Walter Collins, and a Mexican boy named Alvin Gothea. However later that day, Northcott only admitted one homicide in a written confession and that was the murder on Alvin Gothea.

Also in December, Northcott’s mother confessed to the murder of Walter Collins. She said she delivered the final blow to the boy and then buried him in a hole near the chicken coop. Sanford Clark said his grandmother had told them that if they each hit the boy then they will be equally guilty if caught. Sarah Louise Northcott was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Walter Collins.

Gordon Stewart Northcott’s trial began in January 1929. Northcott fired several defense attorneys and proceeded to defend himself. He admitted to abusing young boys because he loved them. He even had his mother testify for him. She claimed she was actually his grandmother because her husband had raped her daughter Winnefred and Northcott was Winnefred’s son. Northcott also claimed to have an incestuous relationship with Sarah Louise and that his father had molested him. Northcott’s defense was rather odd and it was obvious that he was no lawyer. Along with the strange defense, Sarah Louise didn’t prove to be a very credible witness since the only continuous statement she made was that she would do anything for Gordon.

On February 8, 1929, an all-male jury convicted Northcott for the first-degree murders of the Winslow brothers and an anonymous victim. Judge George R. Freeman sentenced him to death. Although he was convicted and sentenced to death, the families of his victims didn’t have closure due to the inability to find intact bodies. Northcott was hanged on October 2, 1930. Shortly after his execution, the Wineville Chicken Coop murders were finally put to rest after the citizens decided to change the town’s name. They changed it to Mira Loma, which means “view from the hill” in Spanish. This name change helped the town to disassociate from the horrific acts on that poultry farm.

The horrors of the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders were introduced again in 2008 when the Clint Eastwood film Changeling was released. The story reflects Christine Collins’ attempts to recover her son, Walter. The Changeling showed Christine Collins’ perseverance to overcome the unjust law enforcement system and to learn the truth about her son.

What's True
Taken out of context, two images of a single suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann appeared to resemble Tony and John Podesta.

What's False
The "efits" circulated by police depicted one man, not two, and the images were of a person of interest or witness, not a kidnapping suspect.

https://www.providencejournal.com/n...-now-grandmother-has-been-charged-with-murder

For Virginia L. Hayden, small talk frequently took a turn toward the macabre.

The cherubic-looking grandmother, measuring just over 5 feet tall with her hair in loose white curls, once started expounding on the best way to dispose of a human body, her daughter, Carolyn Cooksey, told police. Seemingly unprompted, she explained that pigs would eat every part of a corpse except for the skull. Her grandson, Michael Harris, also recalled receiving a similar lecture, except that he had been told that pigs would eat everything but the hair.

Getting rid of bodies was a topic that frequently came up while they were watching television in York County, Pennsylvania, he told investigators. She taught him you had to stab a corpse before placing it in water; otherwise, it would float. Another time, she informed him that if someone was using nitroglycerin oral spray to treat a heart condition, you could give them more than the recommended dosage and it would look as though they had a heart attack.

The comments didn’t alarm Harris, who told police that his grandmother “was cool to talk to.” But authorities believe that Hayden’s apparent interest in gruesome topics was concealing something more sinister: the murder of her third husband, Thomas Hayden, 62, who vanished in 2011.

Police arrested Virginia Hayden on Monday, linking her husband’s disappearance to the grisly mystery of a scalp that was found in a plastic bag by the side of the road seven years earlier. The 67-year-old was arraigned the same day on criminal homicide charges and 64 additional counts that include forgery, theft, conspiracy and tampering with public records, PennLive reported. Authorities allege that she received nearly $117,000 in Social Security benefits intended for her husband that were deposited into a joint account, and forged his signature on a deed transfer that allowed her to sell their home after he went missing.

“We can only take us where the facts lead us,” Northern York County Regional Police Chief Mark Bentzel told WHP-TV. “And in this case, they lead us to Virginia.”

Seven years earlier, a man walking down a narrow country road that runs alongside a rushing creek in Dover Township, Pennsylvania, had made a nightmarish discovery. A human scalp, with hair that appeared to be tied in a ponytail, had been placed in a plastic, vacuum-sealed FoodSaver bag, the kind usually used for storing leftovers. Also tucked inside was a piece of a bloody bedsheet.

Police sent the gory remains off to the state crime lab, but no DNA match popped up in the universal database, and the trail ran cold. For more than five years, no one had any idea who the scalp belonged to, or how they might have died.

Then, in January 2017, authorities got a phone call.

Kim Via, Thomas Hayden’s daughter, had been unsuccessfully trying to regain contact with her father, whom she had been estranged from since 2005. Each time she tried calling him, the criminal complaint states, her stepmother answered the phone and told her that her father didn’t want to talk to her. Eventually, Via became suspicious, and asked police to do a welfare check.

As authorities began investigating, they quickly realized that Via wasn’t the only one who hadn’t heard from Thomas Hayden in a long time. At the apartment where his daughter thought he was living, they found Virginia Hayden’s granddaughter, who told them that he had never lived there, and she hadn’t seen him in seven years. Further interviews with family and friends revealed that no one could recall seeing or hearing from him since some point in the fall of 2011.

A former next-door neighbor said Thomas had just “up and disappeared,” and that Virginia had explained his absence by saying that he had died after traveling to Mexico for treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS. Similarly, the man who had bought the Haydens’ old condo in Dover Township in 2014 remembered Virginia telling him that her husband was dead.

The former neighbor also offered a sinister possibility: She and her son-in-law had noticed that Virginia had doubled the size of the condo’s patio by having a concrete slab poured in her backyard. Maybe, the two had joked, Thomas was buried underneath it.

Police searched the property with cadaver-detecting dogs, and found nothing, the York Daily Record reported. But they did find other reasons to be suspicious.

When questioned about her husband’s absence in January 2017, Virginia repeated the story about how Thomas had traveled to Mexico to seek medical treatment for ALS, saying that he had been inspired by a commercial he saw on television. She claimed that he had left one night in 2011, and the last time that she heard from him was sometime that year, when he called her from a blocked number. She didn’t know where he was, she said, and had been telling people he was dead because it was less embarrassing than admitting he had left her.

But when investigators reviewed Thomas’s medical records, they found that he had never been diagnosed with ALS. A doctor had been treating him for chronic pain, but after years of routinely going to his appointments, he had abruptly stopped showing up after September 2011. Virginia had called and canceled two of his appointments that were supposed to take place the following month, telling the office that he was no longer living in the area, police wrote in a criminal complaint. In October 2011, not long after his last visit, she bought a .357 caliber handgun.

It wasn’t the only thing about her account that didn’t add up. In interviews with police, she changed her story about whether Thomas had been alone when he left their home, and was unable to explain the discrepancy. Furthermore, the Daily Record reported, officials with the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that neither of the Haydens had ever been to Mexico. If Thomas Hayden had tried to leave, he likely wouldn’t have gotten far. After getting a warrant to search her apartment, police found that Virginia had his driver’s license, passport and Social Security card stashed away in a lockbox.

She also had a FoodSaver vacuum-sealing device. Officials got DNA samples from Hayden’s two brothers, and sent them out for testing. Months later, a crime lab confirmed with overwhelming certainty that the scalp in the plastic bag had belonged to a sibling of theirs.

Police turned their attention to the couple’s condo, which Virginia had sold for $135,000 in November 2014. The deed seemed to indicate that in November 2013, Thomas had sold the house to her for $1. If true, that would have meant that the transaction took place two years after the last time that anyone could remember seeing him.

But a handwriting expert who reviewed Thomas’s signature on the deed transfer concluded that it had been forged - by his wife. The notary listed on the document was her daughter, Connie Pender, who was arrested separately and pleaded guilty to tampering with public records and conspiracy charges, according to the Daily Record.

In July 2017, police pushed Virginia to tell them where her husband was. “Maybe you ought to check the grave of my second husband for him,” she replied. Thomas Hayden had been her third husband: Her first hung himself after they divorced, and her second died of a heart attack, the Daily Record reported. Taking her at her word, officials paid a visit to her second husband’s grave in Maryland, but found no signs of wrongdoing.

As police continued to zero in on her, Virginia Hayden sat for an interview with the Daily Record in December 2017 and insisted that she was innocent. Flatly denying that she killed her husband, she claimed that she had no idea where he was, and that he had been abusive toward her. She declined to provide any further details about the alleged abuse.

“You’ve never been married to a man that scares you so bad that the day he decides to leave, you pray to God he doesn’t come back,” she told the paper. “You pray to God he forgets about you.”

Though Thomas Hayden’s body still hasn’t been found, a doctor who examined his scalp found enough evidence to conclude that the 62-year-old had “died from a violent death at the hands of another individual.” That individual, authorities believe, was his wife.

Hayden, who does not yet have a lawyer, is being held without bail in advance of a May 10 hearing. Confronted with the evidence that her husband had been killed, she reportedly told investigators that she would write “whatever you want me to write” in a confession, but made it clear that she was doing so under duress and only because her daughter and stepdaughter thought she was responsible.

“So be happy,” she said, according to PennLive. “I give in. So leave me alone. So there it is. That’s my confession.”

La Sante Prison, in the east of the Montparnasse district of Paris, is one of the most infamous prisons in France, and its location puts it right inside the city limits. Since the prison went into use in 1867, there have been three escapes in total. In 1927, one man got out via a false order of release, and in 1978, a man was killed trying to escape. The real story of a daring escape from the prison came in 1986, when Michel Vaujour managed to escape with the help of his wife, Nadine.

This wasn’t one of those “back the van up to the prison wall” kind of escapes, either—it involved a helicopter. While Michael was serving a lengthy term for murder and armed robbery, Nadine Vaujour began to take flying lessons under a false name. She then took a helicopter and flew it over the prison, where Michael managed to make it to a roof and cling to the skid as the helicopter flew away. He remained a free man until a gunshot to the head during a robbery months later sent him back for the next 27 years.

On November 20, 1960, a little girl playing by a creek near Pikeville, Kentucky, made a grisly discovery. Five men burned beyond recognition sat in a car. The car had gone off the road and stopped with the front in the creek. There had been no impact; the car had just rolled to a stop. There was no gas in the tank. Though the outside of the car looked undamaged, the interior of the vehicle was incinerated, and police initially suspected foul play for simple reasons: The men were all upright in their seats and showed no signs of having struggled to escape the fire. In addition, metal detectors suggested possible pellets or bullets in the chest areas of the men, and there was blood on the ground near the car.

But the autopsies showed that the metal had dripped from the ceiling of the vehicle as it started to melt and that the men had high levels of carbon monoxide in their bodies, meaning they were alive and breathing when the fire started. It was determined that it was the carbon monoxide that, ultimately, killed the men. For lack of a better theory, police decided that the fire had started at the front of the vehicle and moved back, but it was never stated how this odd fire started. Nor was it explained why five men in a burning vehicle would calmly drive a car off a road, nor where the blood on the ground came from, nor why the five men, alive and breathing, would calmly sit still as they burned to death.

In 1985, 27-year old Linda Sherman lived in Vinita Park, Missouri with her 28-year old husband, Don Sherman, and their nine-year old daughter, Patty. The couple originally got married when they were in high school after Linda became pregnant. They would experience a tumultuous marriage as Don was known for being jealous, controlling and abusive. On multiple occasions, Linda took Patty and moved out and threatened Don with divorce, but the couple would always reconcile. On April 11, Linda told her family she had finally made the decision to end the marriage for good and officially filed for divorce, but she elected to remain in the house with Don until he was served divorce papers. At 2:16 AM on April 22, Linda signed out after her night shift ended at the U.S. Government Records Center. When she arrived home, Don claimed that they got into an argument because he suspected Linda was having an affair with a co-worker. Don said he went to bed at 4:00 AM while Linda went to sleep on the couch. Later that morning, Patty woke up and Don took her to school even though Linda was usually the one who drove her. Patty would claim that as she was leaving the house, she saw Linda lying on the couch with her back turned. Patty recalled seeing no movements from her mother, who did not even get up to say goodbye to her before she left.

Don would claim that he returned home at 6:00 PM that and was surprised to see that Linda was still there. Since she was running late for work, Linda quickly drove away. However, she never showed up for her shift and did not return home. Don figured she had run off with another man, so he did not report Linda missing until April 24 until her sister and brother-in-law, Fran and Sam Miller, insisted he go to the police. Two days later, the Millers would find Linda’s abandoned vehicle in the short-term parking garage at Lambert International Airport. However, there was no listing for Linda’s name on any of the recent outgoing flights and her family did not believe she would have abandoned her daughter. Don would later tell police that he saw Linda in the passenger’s seat of a van being driven by an unidentified male a few days after she originally went missing. When he called out to her, Linda ducked out of sight before the van drove off. The co-worker whom Don accused Linda of having an affair with was investigated by police, but he had a solid alibi and was ruled out as a suspect. Years later, Don filed a cross-petition for a divorce on the grounds that Linda had abandoned him and their daughter, but since she could not be found, a judge dismissed the divorce filing in June 1989.

On June 28, 1990, a skull was found in the bushes outside the Casa Gallardo restaurant in Bridgeton. It belonged to an adult female, but since the skull could not be identified, it was kept inside the county morgue’s evidence room. On September 6, 1991, the Vinita Park Police Department received an unsealed envelope containing a flier for the Casa Gallardo restaurant. The flier had a message stamped on it in purple ink: “THE BRIDGETON POLICE HAVE L. SHERMAN’S SKULL”. On the basis of this anonymous note, dental records were used to identify the skull as belonging to Linda. It turned out Casa Gallardo was Don’s favourite restaurant, as he hung out at their bar multiple times per week. He believed someone had intentionally left Linda’s skull outside the restaurant to send him a message. However, investigators theorized that Don was hoping to get remarried, but since he had no luck divorcing Linda, he retrieved her skull and leave it a public place, so she would be declared legally dead. Don denied these allegations and while he did get remarried in 1994, he passed away in 2015. The rest of Linda’s remains have never been found and her case is still unsolved

A teenage couple argues in the street. Stranger from a nearby bar asks if they can help. Girl goes inside the bar and stranger beheads her.https://www.elperiodico.com/es/barc...ito-a-la-victima-a-entrar-en-su-local-7468522


The 17-year-old girl murdered on Tuesday afternoon in a bar in Barcelona's Eixample entered the store because Farid, the owner of the establishment arrested for this crime, invited her to go. According to police sources, Farid, 32, opened the door of the cafeteria, located on Mistral Avenue, while the victim was arguing with his partner, a 20-year-old boy, in front of his premises.

At that time there were not too many people on this walk and the brawl between the two young men, both of Spanish nationality, caught the attention of the owner. The girl, at the behest of Farid, entered and inside the premises, according to all indications, he ended up killing her with a knife.

Chauvinist mobile discarded

The investigators have concluded that the minor and Farid did not know each other, so they dismiss it as a case of male violence . The problem is that there is no other motive that makes more sense because crime, in fact, has no rational explanation.

From the street, the boyfriend heard screams inside the premises, where the girl was next to Farid and went into a bakery across the street to ask for help. The employees tried to calm him down so he could call 112. He did it. Before the arrival of the police, the young man entered the bar and found the body of his partner lying on the ground, stabbed, lifeless. Between both actions, Farid had left the bar with his bicycle and had fled.

The first agents who arrived at the bar and saw the young woman without life found it hard to believe the version of the groom, who was still very upset. But the arrest half an hour later of Farid by the Guàrdia Urbana gave meaning to his story. Farid, a man of Moroccan origin who had lived in Barcelona for years, was arrested by a patrol of the municipal police, bloodied and in shock , when he was circulating in Hospital Street in El Raval. The Mossos confirmed hours later that he was the material author of the crime.

From her statement it has not been possible to know why she killed her. Neither was he in his right mind and tonight he has been admitted to a psychiatric unit. Without any apparent motive, the agents of the unit of homicides of the Mossos, in charge of the investigations, try to infer possible causes that motivated the aggression of Farid to the minor although, at the moment, none of these gives a logical explanation. As the hours go by, the possibility that it is simply an irrational reaction, that of Farid, who lost his head and ended up murdering the girl wins.

Bar closed

The crime, inconceivable, overshadowed a pedestrian artery full of terraces. As the minutes passed, the neighbors ended up around the cafeteria while the agents investigated the crime scene inside a security cordon. Bar '69', the place is in that postal number, opened three or four months ago. According to Farid's environment, he was able to start this business thanks to the money he had accumulated as a host of apartments rented on Airbnb . Or at least that's what he counted.

The only waitress that Farid had hired, a woman of Chilean origin, told this newspaper that she was fired a week ago, when the store closed. However, the residents of the avenue say that during the last week they saw Farid raise and lower the blind without responding to any business hours .

The investigating court 19 of Barcelona , acting as guard, is in charge of deepening the crime. Researchers keep all hypotheses open, except for sexist violence.

Smith was last seen at her residence in the 400 block of Weakly Street in Florence, Alabama on April 24, 1977. She apparently left her house in the middle of the night, leaving behind her dentures, purse, house key and all her clothes, and has never been heard from again. Her husband said he saw her get into a lime green Ford LTD. Her son reported her missing days later.

In 2003, the residents of Smith's former home found a letter written by her, placed in an envelope with $200 and hidden under the wallpaper in the bedroom. The letter read, "They are trying to take my food away and kill me. Please help me." Authorities searched the residence, and dug underneath a shed, but nothing further was found. Smith's case remains unsolved.

Wow, I am normally not one to stereotype, but if I had to pick a pedo out of a group of 100 random people... this guy would probably be a top pick, unless Jared from Subway were there.

As for the 3rd case, with no other information that those paragraphs, I assume the husband and son were slowly trying to kill her, did, got life insurance, social security for a while, etc. That would be my first guess anyways. I work for a nursing home and get my hands on DCF files sometimes, usually when I am making the care plan for a resident we have under guardianship... and some of the stories I see are horrific.

It was a scorching afternoon in Berkeley, California, on the 29th of September, 1978. 15-year-old Mary Vincent was a promising dancer. Having worked front stage at the Lido de Paris in Las Vegas, as well as in Australia and Hawaii, her future was certainly looking bright. On that fateful afternoon, Mary decided she was going to run away from home. Her parents were going through a divorce and she needed some time alone. Los Angeles was the destination, she decided.

As she pointed her thumb towards the hazy California sun, a blue van rolled to a halt beside her. Behind the wheel was former merchant marine seaman, Lawrence Singleton, a relatively unsuspecting looking man with grandfatherly features. Singleton offered to drive Mary to Interstate 5 to which she readily accepted.

As they approached Interstate 5, Singleton continued to drive. When Mary realised that he had passed the turn off, she grabbed a pointed surveyor stick that was sitting beside the passenger seat and demanded he turn the car around. Singleton told Mary that it was an honest mistake and turned the car around to head baxk towards Interstate 5.

A few miles down the road, Singleton pulled the car in at the side of the road and told Mary he needed to use urinate and that he couldn’t wait to the nearest gas station. Mary decided to get out of the car for a breath of fresh air. As she was tying her lace, Singleton crept up from behind and cracked her over the head with a hammer.

After brutally raping and sodomising the teenager, Singleton severed both of her arms with a hatchet. He then threw her down a 30 foot culvert in Del Puerto Canyon in Stanislaus County and left her for dead. As Singleton sped off, he believed that he had killed Mary and that nobody would ever be able to find her. He was wrong.

The following morning, two women came across a ghastly sight: Mary Vincent was stumbling down the road, nude, holding what remained of her mutilated arms up in the air. “She was holding up her arms so that the muscles and blood would not fall out,” read the court documents.1

She was rushed to hospital where she was able to provide a detailed description of Singleton. The composite sketch was so realistic that Singleton’s neighbour recognised him and called police immediately.
Under the ridiculously lenient laws at the time, Singleton was sentenced to just 14 years in prison which was the maximum sentence allowed. After serving just eight years and four months of that sentence, Singleton was paroled for “good behaviour.”2 Shortly before his release, his psychiatric evaluation read: “Because he is so out of touch with his hostility and anger, he remains an elevated threat to others’ safety inside and outside prison.” In addition, while incarcerated Singleton had written several letters to Vincent’s lawyer wherein he threatened her. After his parole, Vincent was terrified that he would come back to finish off what he started.

While Mary survived, she didn’t feel like a survivor. After the attack, she fell into a deep depression. She had hopes and dreams of becoming a dancer but her reconstructive surgery rendered her unable to dance ever again. She spent numerous years shuddering at the very thought of that afternoon. She suffered from relentless nightmares and drifted from place to place. She was unable to find a job and couldn’t even afford to have her prosthetic arms fixed; she filed for bankruptcy.

“I never smiled one in 21 years,” Mary said in 1999. By now, however, Mary had met a man named Tom and duo got married. Mary went on to have two sons and she attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas
So what became of Lawrence Singleton following his release? He moved to Florida after Californian citizens shared their disdain at the thought of him being released back into their community. In fact, numerous protests of his parole were staged across the state. “Drop Dead, Larry” and “Get the maniac out,” read some of their banners.5

A couple of years after his release, a painter called police after witnessing something gruesome through a window of a home he was walking past in Tampa, Florida. The horrified caller said that he saw a nude man raising his arm again and again over a bloody woman who was slouched over his couch. He told police he heard “bones crushing like chicken bones breaking.” When police arrived, they were met by none other than Lawrence Singleton. It was his home and he was covered in blood.

On the sofa inside the living room lay the lifeless body of Roxanne Hayes, a 31-year-old sex worker who had arranged a date with Singleton; he had agreed to pay her $20 for sex. Singleton had stabbed the mother of three to death with a boning knife.6
As news of the murder reached Mary, she knew in her heart that she had to face Singleton once again. While she wasn’t required to testify at his trial, she felt as though she had to. This time she would see that justice is served. “I was raped. I had my arms cut off. He used a hatchet. He left me to die,” Mary told the stunned court room as she pointed towards Singleton with her prosthetic hook.7

Mary’s testimony helped send Singleton to death row where he passed away from cancer in 2001. “I wanted to look into his eyes,” said Mary. “But now I won’t be able to find out whatever I was looking for. I feel like I was cheated again.”8

A pedophile Catholic priest made young boys dress up as the Baby Jesus in swaddling clothes then sexually abused them. Frederick Lenczycki, 74, admitted two counts of sodomy Thursday, after a court in St Louis, Missouri, was told how he molested two boys between 1991 and 1994.

One of the victims had his genitals repeatedly grabbed by Lenczycki, while the pervert clergyman kept trying to rip the second one’s clothes off. They were attacked while he was chaplain of St Louis’s DePaul Health Center. Lenczyski, who will be sentenced on August 15, had previously been charged with sexually abusing three other boys in Chicago during the 1980s.

Those youngsters told how the priest, who they knew as Father Fred, would swaddle them in cloths like the Baby Jesus was after being born. He did so under the guise of organizing religious pageants, which never took place, and which were used as a front for the abuse.

NEW JERSEY: Presbyterian Minister Accused Of Using Oral Sex To Suck Out Men’s Evil During Ritual Exorcisms
A Presbyterian minister, who said he was following the Bible, used Native American exorcism rituals, gemstones and even oral sex to extract “evil spirits” from men undergoing crises in their lives, the church and men claim.

The so-called healing acts, which date to 1999, were allegedly performed by the Rev. Dr. William Weaver, a prominent Presbyterian minister who served as pastor at Linden Presbyterian Church for 39 years, one of two Presbyterian churches in Linden. He also held several public roles, including chaplain for a county police department.

Every meeting with Weaver began the same way, Meeker said. The minister told him to undress completely and lie on the bed. Then he placed an angel coin — a coin with an angel or saint printed on it used for praying — on Meeker’s forehead and wrapped a magnetic strip around his head to keep it in place.

Weaver then would place a series of stones on both of Meeker’s feet his hands and on the left side and right side of his chest.

“I was told that for him to get everything out me, I needed to lay completely still to not move the stones on my feet,” Meeker said in the impact statement. “He would then take out the feather and scan my body from my neck to my stomach.”
Weaver then opened Meeker’s mouth, placed his own mouth on top of Meeker’s mouth, and moved his tongue around “to see if I had anything in my mouth or throat,” Meeker wrote.

Then the interaction became sexual, with Weaver engaging in oral sex, according to Meeker.

“He would then ingest my ejaculate and then would spit up multiple pieces of plastic or metal into a Ziploc bag,” Meeker stated.

He said he began to ask Weaver about the necessity of the ritual and asked the minister if he was using the same techniques on women. Weaver, according to Meeker’s statement, said “everything would come out of a woman’s navel and every 30 days their cycle would clear them out.”

Weaver said the evil energy manifested itself into what he called “hits.”

He also told Meeker that if the “hits” were left inside of him, they would cause infertility and erectile dysfunction.

After every session, Meeker wrote, “he would then hold me and say he loved me and he would protect me, and he would never let anything bad happen to me.”

Weaver also told him he could never mention what happened because “nobody would understand.”

Meeker described Weaver as “a shepherd of the flock” and affectionate.

http://charleyproject.org/case/marie-ann-blee

In 1979, Marie Blee was a 15-year old high school sophomore who lived with her family in Hayden, Colorado. On the evening of November 21, Marie travelled to the nearby town of Craig to attend a dance and was driven there by her 18-year old friend, Monty Doolin. Afterward, Monty drove Marie to a party at the Shadow Mountain Village mobile home park. The party was attended by 50 to 100 people, but Marie’s female friends became uncomfortable since most of the guests were older guys they did not know and there was drug usage. Marie’s friends decided to leave, but she insisted on staying. The following morning, Marie’s mother woke up and discovered she had not returned home. When the Blees tried to report Marie missing, the police told them she had likely ran away, but would turn up soon.

On November 24, the Blees received a phone call from an anonymous male who demanded they pay a $5,000 ransom for Marie’s return. The Blees put together the money, but the caller never phoned back to arrange payment. Police soon discovered the caller was Monty Doolin and charged him with extortion. Monty maintained that he had no involvement in Marie’s disappearance and only phoned in a fake ransom demand to give Marie’s parents hope she was still alive. According to Monty, he last saw Marie at the party sometime between 1:30 and 2:00 AM on November 22. They did not leave together because Marie told him she had arranged to get a ride with another guy, but did not tell Monty who it was. Monty pled guilty to telephone harassment and received a six-month suspended sentence and two years probation. Four months later, the Moffat County Sheriff’s Office received an anonymous phone call from a sobbing man who said: “My two kids know who disposed of Marie Blee, but we’re afraid to tell. Eleven people know, but they’re afraid”. Unfortunately, the investigation hit a standstill because of jurisdictional issues as Marie lived in Routt County, but technically went missing in Moffat County, and neither of the county sheriff’s offices wanted to take the reins.

In 1999, the Routt County Sheriff’s Office decided to reopen the case and organized a multi-jurisdictional cold case task force. They finally performed a proper investigation, conducting a number of searches for Marie’s body and interviewing witnesses who attended the party on the night she went missing. However, since 20 years had passed and their memories were no longer fresh, the witnesses’ statements often contradicted each other. One witness would claim they saw Marie doing drugs inside the mobile home’s bathroom, but another witness said that Marie never went inside the home at all because it was too crowded. Different witnesses would also place Marie at different locations throughout the night and she was allegedly seen at a Circle K convenience store with a man who may or may not have been Monty Doolin. It was hard to put together a clear timeline and no one could pinpoint the exact moment Marie was last seen alive, but multiple witnesses seemed to think she left the party with three men. Police eventually named three persons of interest - Monty Doolin, Stephen Skufca and Max Abel Garcia - who were all seen in Marie’s presence that night.

By this point, Garcia was living in Portland, Oregon, but when interviewed, he denied any involvement in Marie’s disappearance. Skufca claimed that he never even attended the party and his mother provided him with an alibi, but other witnesses recalled seeing him there that night. In September 2000, Skufca was arrested on numerous drug charges and for attempting to run down a man with his vehicle. He was facing 12 years in prison, but investigators offered him a reduced sentence if he provided new information about Marie’s disappearance. Skufca did not divulge anything and received the 12-year sentence. He was paroled in 2009, but was killed after an accidental fall down his basement steps three years later. In June 2015, Monty Doolin was arrested after being indicted for first-degree kidnapping. In the year prior to Marie’s disappearance, Doolin had allegedly kidnapped and sexually assaulted another teenage girl in Routt County. After picking her up and offering her a ride, Doolin pulled over at an isolated location and sexually assaulted the victim before he left her go. However, a district court judge would dismiss the case. Since the statute of limitations had expired, Doolin was not actually charged with sexual assault and the judge believed the incident did not meet the definition of first-degree kidnapping in the Colorado Criminal Code. Doolin was subsequently released, but continues to deny any involvement in Marie Blee’s disappearance, which remains unsolved.

On June 16th 2009 a man checked into a hotel in Sligo, Ireland. Five days later his body was found on a nearby beach, Rosses Point. He checked into the hotel as Peter Bergmann. During the time he had been staying at the hotel he left his hotel 13 times carrying a bag that was full of something but returned each time no longer carrying anything. He also bought 10 international stamps and these were not found with his belongings. After his death it turned out that the address he gave was false and he did not provide any ID. He had terminal prostrate cancer. He died of a heart attack not drowning. He is buried in an unmarked grave and no one has ever looked for him. Did he send the 10 letters and if so, where and to who? Why did he go to such efforts to obscure his identity and why did no-one look for him?

Cheryl Priscilla Morrien was a seven-year-old girl who lived in Schiplaan, IJmuiden, Netherlands. On Tuesday, August 5, 1986, at approximately 11-11.30am Cheryl walked from her house to her friend’s house across the street. She previously wanted to go to a fair but her parents refused. She then called a friend but she wasn’t in. So she decided to visit another friend, Ilse, who lived just across the street from her.

She knocked on the door but nobody answered and she was seen playing with the letterbox at the door.

At 3-3.30pm of the same day, a neighbor M. de Cort saw Cheryl driving past, in a car in the back seat. She was waving at her. It was a green station wagon Lada and there were two men sitting in the front seats. Madam Cort drove behind the Lada for a while, while Cheryl kept waving at her cheerfully. At a roundabout, she made a right turn and she lost sight of them.

A sketch was made of the two men but without any luck. It’s not sure though whether they were wearing a fake mustache or a wig. Also, their car was very distinctive (it could be seen in the reconstruction below) so they wouldn’t have driven very far, especially after seen the neighbor following them.

Search dogs were brought in the evening. Was Cheryl kept busy all those hours from 11am-3pm by her kidnappers in the neighborhood? Could she have been kept by somebody known to her until those two men came to pick her up? The track dogs followed her scent behind her friend’s house to a park. But the park could not have been accessed by car.

Serial killer Stockx

Serial killer Michel Stockx was on trial at the time of Cheryl’s kidnapping, so he was free. When he was interrogated by police on his whereabouts of that day, he had given an alibi that was later proved false. He denied having anything to do with the Morrien case. He admitted to three other children murders. A criminal profiler though, admitted that Stockx had previously abducted a girl from the same street that Cheryl lived.
