Michele MacNeill seemed to be clueless to her husband thottin' and boppin' around town with his sidepiece when he prompted her to go under the knife as a gift. When things go wrong, Dr. Martin MacNeill can't even be bothered to give her proper CPR. If we've said it once, we'll say it again: The husband did it.

They say don’t drink the Kool-Aid, but did Jonestown really take cyanide shots willingly?

David and Louise Turpin seemed like somewhat odd parents, but no one could have guessed they were actually holding their own thirteen kids as prisoners in their home. What was really going on in this “house of horrors”?
John Edward Robinson was truly a freak, but not in a good way. Earning his name by luring women into BDSM relations via internet chat rooms, I’m sure you can guess the rest. Let’s just say this story doesn’t end like 50 Shades of Grey.
What do an old insane asylum and an abandoned playground have in common? A history of poisonings, eerie cemeteries, and lots of spooky ghost stories.

What do you get with an electric chainsaw and some blue paint? Basically the worst crime scene cover up ever.

Murder and torture and dismemberment, oh my!

Spoiler: it didn’t go well. Buckle up for a bloody history lesson, murder lovers!

Just as a general rule of thumb, don't copy Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn... ever. The Visine Prank is no joke, so the next time you're looking to get back at someone just send them an envelope of glitter instead. Trust me, they'll be vacuuming it up for years and you won't go to prison like these people.

Try typing “Bonin” into your phone and you’ll get autocorrected to abomination... How fortuitous. Bonin, aka The Freeway Killer, may be the epitome of stranger danger as he and associates (yep, he worked with partners) terrorized boys in California out of an Econoline van.
