On September 11, 2011, what seemed to be another bloody triple homicide case in the city of Waltham in Middlesex County, Massachusetts turned out to be not just another violent crime that some random killer mindlessly executed. The homicides, which almost decapitated Brendan Mess, Erik Weissman, and Raphael Teken, were entangled in a controversial mess that involved drugs, terrorism and the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. Was it a coincidence that the murders took place on the 10th anniversary of...

"We thought it was a perfect marriage." Coming from their closest friends, these words may have been the ultimate compliment for Woodbridge Township, New Jersey couple William or Bill and Melanie McGuire. They were a lovely pair blessed with two beautiful boys and stable careers. But life can spring an unexpected surprise, and it was an alleged infidelity in the McGuires' case that shattered to tragic pieces their marriage with the gruesome death of Bill in 2004.

Even a quaint town with a small population can be filled with the biggest pride just like Bardstown in Nelson County, Kentucky. In 2012, Bardstown was voted as "The Most Beautiful Small Town in America" in the Destination Marketing Association International's "Best of the Road" competition. It gave credence to the Visit Bardstown website’s description of Kentucky’s second oldest town as ”An atmosphere that seems to have magically leaped from the paintings of Norman Rockwell and the pages of Mark...

One day in 1994, a police officer arrested a juvenile, and the first thing he asked the teenage boy was “What’s going on?” He replied to the officer matter-of-factly, “I’ve had a bad day today…I’ve killed my whole family.” As if that wasn’t enough for a spring day gone wickedly awry, the boy had also kidnapped his prom date, bringing her along to his school where he held his entire Trigonometry class hostage. That 17 year old culprit was Northern Kentucky teen Clay Nathaniel Shrout, who, prior t...

In the U.S. state of New Mexico, one can find towns with unusual names such as Elephant Butte and Truth and Consequences. But few people know that in these towns there once lived a criminal with an equally unusual moniker - “The Toy-Box Killer.” He was an infamous American kidnapper, torturer, rapist, and suspected serial killer who executed his monstrous crimes right inside his trailer, known as a “toy-box”, and later referred to as “Satan’s Den.” It was only in March 1999 that David Parker Ray...

To her neighbors, Dorothea Puente seemed almost saint-like. She opened her home to shelter society’s outcasts: the homeless, the mentally-ill, alcoholics, drug addicts, and even frail, sickly old people. She was known to provide meals and medical care for her marginalized tenants, gave out backyard vegetables to her neighbors, and adopted stray cats. How could her neighbors not admire the kind woman who also contributed money for political campaigns and charitable endeavors? But Dorothia’s Sacra...

“Want me to give you a ride?” This 7-word solicitous question may sound like an offer to help that deserves appreciation. But for three young women in Cleveland, Ohio who accepted the ride, it was a decision they would regret for a long time. The invitation turned out to be a bait for a kidnapping spree perpetrated by Ariel Castro, a self-confessed sex and pornography addict. He abducted and imprisoned three women in his home for a decade, and subjected them to constant physical abuse, sexual as...

It’s not uncommon for two people to share the same first and last names – and the only detail that doesn’t make their birth certificates identical is the difference in their middle names. Did you know that Hollywood actor Chris Evans shares his name with an equally popular English TV and radio personality? Two different “Michelle Williams’” made it big in show business – one as an Oscar-nominated actress; the other as a former member of the chart-busting singing trio “Destiny’s Child.” And Ameri...

Our public persona is what most people know and see, and it becomes the basis of how they love or hate us, and appreciate or judge us. What we tightly guard and don’t expose though is our private persona which harbors our deepest thoughts, obsessions and fantasies. Some fantasize about having the fame and wealth of Bill Gates or Beyoncé, the powers of a Marvel superhero, or feed their thoughts with their dream travel destinations. Sharon Rina Lopatka from the town of Hampstead in Maryland was un...

American writer and literary critic Anatole Broyard once opined, “In an age like ours, which is not given to letter-writing, we forget what an important part it used to play in people’s lives.” In the 1970s, the ability to instantly communicate through e-mails, texting, or social media was still decades away, so people employed the use of paper and pen, the mailman, and mailboxes to stay in touch. One of life’s simple joys was writing and receiving letters. Through letters, people built friendsh...

Do you want a respite from the hustle and bustle of your daily grind in the city? Close your eyes and imagine this: it’s a bright and cheery weekend, and you’re whiling away the day in the far northern edge of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range surrounded by vast lakes and verdant forests. After communing with nature, you retreat to a rustic cabin, and dine on fresh fish, local barbecued bear ribs, and fine wine. Sounds like pure bliss, right?

Riverside, California (1994) – The “Toxic Woman”: Conspiracy Theories Surrounding the Death of Gloria Ramirez In a previous era, the word ‘toxic’ primarily refered to poisonous waste, substances and chemicals.
