guilty
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time; a look into all aspects of a guilty verdict from the burden of proof to conviction to the judge’s sentence and more.
Colton Harris-Moore
It is hard to understand what goes through the mind of a child who has the home life and diagnoses such as what Colton had. It is not that often when someone of his stature takes law enforcement on a wild goose chase for as long as he did, but it makes me wonder though, "Would he have become the Barefoot Bandit if the outcome of his home life were totally different than what is stated in news and court reports?"

Countess Elizabeth Báthory
There are a million articles claiming who "the most prolific" serial killers are, but Elizabeth Báthory, whom I only recently discovered, has taken the cake for most murders committed in a 19 year span. If I've done the math correctly, that's roughly one unlucky girl every ten days, three girls every month, or 34 girls a year. If that seems hard to do, you're not wrong; she had help.

Richard Crafts: The Infamous Wood Chipper Murderer
Newtown, Connecticut - On November 19, 1986, airline pilot Richard Crafts undoubtedly murdered his wife — a Danish flight attendant named Helle Crafts. He then chainsawed her body, temporarily stored it in a freezer, and later fed it into a wood chipper near Lake Zoar, hoping it would successfully disperse the remains and leave no traceable evidence.

The Story of a Pedophile's Wife
From the outside looking in, our family looked like any other family. We were happy. We created many wonderful memories together. In fact, up until the day my daughter told me her secret, I thought my marriage would last forever, and so did everyone else.

Family Court: Where Domestic Abusers Are Rewarded
Women escaping abusive relationships are often punished by the family courts for raising concerns about the abuse they and their children have suffered at the hands of the children’s father. Family court personnel lack understanding about domestic abuse and fail to recognise the dynamics of abuse. Women who speak about abuse are accused of being hostile and alienating their children from the father. Under UK law there is a presumption of contact as children are believed to fare better if they have both parents in their lives.

Hanging with Terrie
There are those times when everything just aligns and you know that the universe is looking down at you with a smile. And then there are times like today when you are convinced that you had broken every mirror in your path while walking under ladders with a black cat in your way.

Serial Killer Calling Cards That Were Truly Terrifying
Serial killers are a strange group of criminals, which is precisely why they're the most heavily studied prison population in America. The studies they have been involved in have helped criminal investigators determine signs a person will be a serial killer in the making, and also helped them understand why killers are the way they are.

The "Night Stalker:" A Story of Brutality, Murder, and Satanism
Richard Ramirez was born February 29, 1960 in El Paso Texas to Julian Ramirez and Mercedes Ramirez. Richard was one of five children to Julian and Mercedes. When Ramirez was a child he developed epilepsy after sustaining multiple head injuries at an early age, at the hand of his father. To escape the abuse at home, Ramirez would sneak out of his house, and go to the Concordia Cemetery. Later in life, after Ramirez developed an interest in Satanism, he would practice his evil works in the Concordia Cemetery. It is said that even to this day, Satanists practice their evil works in Concordia because of Richard's ties to the cemetery.

10 Serial Killers You've Never Heard Of. Top Story - January 2018.
Everyone has heard of Ted Bundy, Aileen Wuornos, and Jeffrey Dahmer, but they are not the only serial killers in the world or even in the United States. There are hundreds of serial killers you've never even heard of and the reason why is mostly that they are not shocking enough or prolific enough. Many happened before the media became so connected and ingrained in our daily lives. And many others that operate even today cross jurisdictions, state lines, and even country boundaries to commit and conceal their crimes. Allow me to introduce you to just ten serial killers that the general population know little to nothing about. I included photos of those who had them. Unfortunately, not everyone liked their photos taken.
