Adam Leroy Lane a 43 year old truck driver was charged with murder on October 23, 2008. Lane was charged with murdering 38-year-old Monica Massaro in her Bloomsbury, New Jersey home on July 30, 2007, Lane pleaded guilty to the murder Sept. 29. He admitted parking his truck at a nearby truck stop off Interstate 78 and walking to Massaro's quiet neighborhood. In a taped confession he said that he was trying to get away from the woman who grabbed him and kept screaming. According to Lane her throat was accidently cut in the struggle. He said he was just there to rob her and used the knives as a scare tactic. He claimed there was nothing he could do she was dead in seconds. Panicked, Lane claimed he mutilated her body to make it look like “Someone else” had killed her to throw them off his trail.
Lanes public defender told the judge that Lane wanted a formal plea offer that would resolve the first-degree murder charge. The judge said that he was willing to prepare a plea deal.

Lane was willing to entertain an offer, because he was worried over his health.
"Realistically, he's concerned that he's not going to survive his Massachusetts sentence, because of health reasons," said his defense attorney "So, he just wants to put all this behind him."
The public defender said Lane was “also charged with murder in central Pennsylvania -- suffers from diabetes, takes insulin four times per day, and could have other health problems.”
His acceptance of a plea deal also would mean Lane would have to admit he stabbed Massaro to death. To accept a plea deal, you have to acknowledge guilt for an offense,
this was added to a list of crimes committed by the truck driver. Patricia Brooks, who was awakened inside her home at 2:00 a.m. on July 17, 2007 by a man dressed in black. Lane plunged a knife into her shoulder as she slept on her couch.
Authorities are trying to pin several other murders to Lane. They are calling him a suspected Serial Killer. Northern York County Regional Police have charged North Carolina trucker Adam Leroy Lane with attempted criminal homicide, aggravated assault and burglary in an attack on a woman in her Conewago Township home in 2007.

Lane also is waiting for trial in New Jersey in the stabbing death of a 31-year-old woman in her apartment in Bloomsbury near the Pennsylvania border. He also has been identified as the suspect in the July 13, 2007, slaying of Darlene Ewalt in West Hanover Township, Dauphin County.

In a letter written to me Lane says ”Now about the article about the trailer park, I was never there, Everything that happened in that town that night was suppose to be my fault. Its amazing what you can be accused of by being in that area”
He goes on to say, “As for the Other Murders they will have to prove it, or maybe they will just lay it on me because they can’t solve them”
This seems to be the normal for cases that involve suspected Serial killers. The State lays a large number of cases on the defendant and when their legal defense team is overloaded, a few cases will usually stick.
At present Adam is trying to raise funds for his legal defense and supplies needed for his daily life behind bars.
Is Adam Lane a woman hating Serial killer or a knife wielding robber who was at the wrong place at the wrong time?
You decide.

Raiford, Florida

(Notorious kidnapping/robbery/double murder – buried victims alive)

See also: Tiffany Cole, Bruce Nixon, Michael Jackson

Note: Tiffany Cole and Michael Jackson were the alleged ring leaders of this crime because Cole knew the victims prior to the murders

Cole was a familiar face to Carol and Reggie Sumner, having been a neighbor of the 61-year-old couple when they lived in South Carolina, and had bought a car from them at the time the Sumners moved to Florida in March 2005. Cole and her boyfriend went to Florida in late June, 2005 to complete the paperwork on the car and stayed at the Sumner home. Shortly after that visit, in early July 2005, Cole and three men appeared at the Sumners home and asked to use the phone. Reggie Sumner was choked and forced to give the intruders his ATM card and its access number. He and his wife were bound and gagged with duct tape, put into the trunk of their car and driven across the border to Georgia, where, blindfolded and bound, they were pushed into the grave and buried alive.

Cole subsequently pawned jewelry and other items stolen from the Sumners' home, and the ATM card was used to obtain more than $1000 in cash. Three of the group were tracked back to a hotel in South Carolina by the use of the ATM card and arrested there. Juries were later shown photos of Cole and two co-defendants in a limousine, celebrating with champagne and handfuls of cash.

At Cole's week-long trial in October 2007, the jury deliberated less than 90 minutes before finding her guilty of first-degree murder. They voted 9 to 3 that she should receive the death penalty. Five months later, a judge sentenced her to death for the murders, and to life in prison for the kidnappings.

Wade and Jackson also received death sentences and are awaiting execution. Nixon, who had led police to the bodies and testified against the others, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

There was a TV documentary about the crime as well. I believe it was a "Wicked Attraction" episode on Investigation Discovery channel, but I am not sure on that.

Albert Fentress | Show/Hide Details »

I received a letter from Mr Fentresses lawyer Dawn Mulder, asking if I would remove Mr. Fentress's address from the site. She also stated that he is unable to write to me due to his "complex legal situation" She asked that he not receive unsolicited mail. I chose to remove his address in accordance with those wishes. Please don't write him.

A Suffolk County jury decided that Albert Fentress, a former school teacher who has spent the last 20 years in psychiatric hospitals after the torture, killing and cannibalization of a Poughkeepsie teen-ager, is no longer a danger to society and should go free. 'The man is a cannibal' Mr. Grady said. 'It is an utter outrage that a killer who is still mentally ill will be released into a community without supervision to wander about freely. It is beyond my comprehension.'

Mr. Masters, an 18-year-old high school student, was killed on a Sunday evening in August 1979 after wandering into Mr. Fentress's backyard. Mr. Fentress, then a middle-school teacher, confessed to the crime the day it happened. He told officials that with scenes from the movie 'Deliverance' playing in his head, he lured the teen-ager into his basement, tied him to a post, sexually abused and mutilated him, shot him twice in the head, and cooked and ate parts of his body.

Mr. Fentress, 57, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 1980 in the killing of the teen-ager, Paul Masters, was returned after the court proceedings to his room at Pilgrim State Psychiatric Center in Brentwood, where he will wait while Judge Harry E. Seidell of State Supreme Court considers a motion by prosecutors to overturn the jury's decision. After deliberating for more than six hours over two days, the six-person jury came back with the answers to two questions posed by the court: Is the petitioner, Albert Fentress, presently suffering from mental illness, where he requires care, treatment and rehabilitation? The jury answered yes, by a vote of 6 to 0.
In effect, the jury decided that Mr. Fentress was still mentally ill, but not so ill that he had to be committed, Mr. Darrow said. Mid-Hudson psychiatrists Dr. Khin Myo and Dr. Muthaiah Chandrasekahara testified that Fentress still suffers from sexual sadism, pedophilia and personality disorder.

(infamous murder/rape of Dru Sjodin)

During the early evening hours of November 22, 2003, Sjodin finished her shift at the Victoria's Secret store located in the Columbia Mall in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Dru shopped at the mall's Marshall Field's department store and then left the mall. While walking to her car, she spoke with her boyfriend, Chris Lang, on her cell phone. Dru was saying "okay, okay," and the call ended without any sense of urgency at all, just like any other dropped call, so Lang thought nothing of this. About three hours later, Lang received another call from her cell phone, but only heard static and the sound of buttons being pressed. It was reported by authorities this second phone call originated somewhere near Fisher, Minnesota, but that has remained unsubstantiated. With this second call and Dru Sjodin not showing up at another job later that evening, there was concern for her whereabouts.

On December 1, 2003, Rodriguez was arrested in connection with Sjodin's disappearance. According to police reports, Rodriguez admitted being near the Columbia Mall the day Sjodin disappeared, allegedly watching Once Upon a Time in Mexico. That movie was not playing at any theater in the area. The police also found receipts of purchases that Rodriguez had made at several stores near the mall. Police found a knife in Rodriguez's car that had blood on it that matched Sjodin's DNA. Rodriguez had been released from jail in May 2003 after completing a 23-year prison term for stabbing and trying to kidnap a woman. Rodriguez had also previously pleaded guilty to raping another woman.

Sjodin's body was recovered on April 17, 2004 just west of Crookston, Minnesota when deep snow drifts began to melt. Crookston is also where Rodriguez lived with his mother. Sjodin's body was found partially nude and face down in a ravine. Her hands were tied behind her back and she had been beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted, and had several lacerations including a five and a half inch cut on her neck. A rope was also tied around her neck and remnants of a shopping bag were found under the rope suggesting that a bag had been placed on her head. The medical examiner concluded that she had either died as a result of the major neck wound, from suffocation, or from exposure to the elements. Thousands of people had helped search for the young woman and hundreds attended her funeral.

It was alleged Sjodin was brought across state lines so the trial was held in federal court, which meant that Rodriguez was eligible to receive the death penalty if convicted, a possibility not allowed under North Dakota or Minnesota law. On August 30, 2006, Rodriguez was found guilty in Sjodin's death. On September 22, 2006, he was sentenced to death. It was the first death penalty case in a century to take place in North Dakota.

Note : This case is responsible for legislation dubbed "Dru's Law", which set up the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Registry. This legislation was passed in 2006 and signed into law by President George W. Bush.

Andy Williams # T-43070
State Prison
CalipatriaPox Box 5002
Calipatria, Ca, 92233

On March 1, 2001, a 15-year-old high school freshman opened fire at his school in Santee, Southern California, killing two other students and wounding 11 students and two teachers. One victim, Brian Zuchor, 14, was found dead at the school. Randy Gordon, 15, died at nearby Grossmont Hospital. Eleven more students and two adults wounded. The teenager, identified as Andy Williams, allegedly told friends that he wanted to "pull a Columbine" on Santana High. Sadly, no one took him seriously.

The shooting started at about 9:20 a.m. in the boys room in the social sciences building. Students said Williams was smiling when he allegedly emerged from a restroom and started shooting. \"He was looking around, smiling, with his weapon. He fired two more shots and went back in," fellow student John Schardt told AP. "He had an evil kind of sadistic demeanor to him." The gunman allegedly reloaded his weapon four times and fired more than thirty rounds.

According to Neil O'Grady, 15, the suspect talked to him and others over the weekend about a shooting at the school: "He was telling us how he was going to bring a gun to school" O'Grady said, "but we thought he was joking." Students described Williams as "scrawny and little," and someone "who always got picked on." For months he kept saying he was going to bring his father's guns to school and shoot people: "You guys just watch, I'll do it... It'll happen."

Santee, a suburban town of 59,000 residents, is about 10 miles northeast of San Diego. Santana High, which opened in 1965, has more that 1,900 students in grades nine through 12.

Authorities in San Diego, California say that school rampager Charles "Andy" Williams saved one bullet for himself but was unable to use it due to quick action by law enforcement. Fifteen-year-old Charles "Andy" Williams told detectives he carefully counted bullets, but planned to shoot randomly, but at the end would commit suicide.

The scrawny teen also allegedly said made up his mind about the attack three days before the rampage. Williams told detectives he was disappointed and angry at Santana High, in part because he was disciplined for repeated tardiness. He added that he wasn't shooting at anyone in particular. Williams is being held in juvenile custody after being charged as an adult under Proposition 21 with murder, attempted murder and assault with a firearm.

The boy also allegedly said he told his friend Joshua Stevens of his plan. Stevens has said he did not report anything because he thought Williams was joking. Stevens is one of four students forced to transfer from Santana High.

Anthony Balaam 435471B
New Jersey State Prison
PO Box 861
Trenton, NJ 08625
Anthony Balaam

At least four women who roamed the streets of a shabby part of Trenton looking for crack cocaine in the middle of the night met a slight soft-spoken young man.
The women offered sex for drugs, the police said yesterday, and because of that they died.
Investigators said they had charged the man, Anthony Balaam, 31, with killing four women after having lured them into drugs-for-sex encounters. The police said that Mr. Balaam, who uses crack, had confessed to the four killings and that he might be implicated in similar cases.
Mr. Balaam was described by a detective who arrested him, Anthony Manzo, as unassuming and polite, ''a 'Yes, Sir, No Sir' kind of person.''
Deputy Police Chief Joe Constance, who has been on the force for 27 years, called Mr. Balaam, 5 feet 5 inches and 150 pounds, ''one of the calmest and coolest murderers I've encountered.''
After his arrest, without incident on Wednesday, Mr. Balaam talked to detectives in polite, measured tones. ''He talked about rage,'' Chief Constance said. ''He talked about power, about his power over the women.''
Investigators said Mr. Balaam would strike bargains with the women, threaten them with a knife in the sexual encounter and strangle them. Three victims were found in vacant lots and the fourth was in a rundown hotel.
The suspect has been charged with murder in the deaths of Karen Denise Patterson, 41, on Oct. 24, 1994; Valentina Cuyler, 29, on March 19, 1995; Connie Hayward, 27, on April 10, 1995, and Debora Ann Walker, 37, last July 29. Ms. Hayward was found dead in the hotel.
The deputy chief said that Mr. Balaam raped another woman on Feb. 16, but that she escaped before he could strangle her. She provided a description of the attacker, and the police soon concluded that Mr. Balaam was the man who had been killing women on the streets in the predawn hours.
Investigators said that they thought that at least one other woman had fled after having encountered Mr. Balaam, and that they hoped that she would come forward. The investigators added that they were conferring with the police in Detroit, where Mr. Balaam lived from July 1995 to last January, to determine whether he might have committed crimes there.
A homicide investigator in Detroit said yesterday that the city had no string of unsolved

FLORENCE, CO 81226
Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso born May 21, 1942 is a New York mobster and the former powerful Underboss of the Lucchese crime family.
Standing 5'6 and weighing 185 pounds, Casso was a violent youth and street gang member of the infamous 1950's gang, the South Brooklyn Boys
At the age of 30 Casso murdered a drug dealer who was suspected of cooperating with the government becoming a full member of the Lucchese family
Casso and another young soldier, by the name of Vittorio "Vic" Amuso, soon started a criminal partnership that would last for years. They committed scores of crimes, including drug trafficking, burglary and murder. Lucchese boss Anthony Corallo, seeing a guilty verdict coming in his trial, picked Casso as new Lucchese boss. Casso refused and instead made the suggestion that Amuso should become the new boss.
Under new Lucchese leader Amuso, Casso became the family underboss replacing Mariano Macaluso who retired in 1989, Casso had as much influence as Amuso however.
Amuso and Casso shared huge profits from their family's illegal activities. These profits included: $15,000 to $20,000 a month from extorting Long Island carting companies; $75,000 a month in kickbacks from eight air freight carriers that guaranteed them labor peace and no union benefits for their workers; $20,000 a week in profits from illegal video gaming machines; and $245,000 annually from a major concrete supplier, the Quadrozzi Concrete Company." Amuso and Casso also split more than $200,000 per year from the Garment District rackets, as well as a cut of all the crimes committed by the family's soldiers.
After Amuso was sent to prison in 1991, which it has been suggested that Casso played a part in luring Amuso to the meeting place where he was arrested, Casso became the de facto boss of the family. It was said that Casso wanted complete control of the family and set up Amuso to be taken down by the FBI, at a mall where he was supposed to meet Casso. While evading authorities for over three years, Casso maintained control over the Lucchese family, reportedly ordering 11 deaths as well as conspiring with Genovese leader Vincent "Chin" Gigante to retaliate against Gambino leader John Gotti.
Casso agreed to become a government informant when he was caught by the FBI and realized that they had a enormous about of evidence against him.
Casso told the NYPD that they had two detectives on the Lucchese payroll, and they committed eight of the eleven murders that Casso had ordered, but the government decided that Casso was unqualified as a witness and was dropped from the witness protection program in October 2008, he is serving a life sentence without parole.

Serial killer address
Anthony Cook 167235
Ross Correctional Institution
P. O. Box 7010
Chillicothe, Ohio 45601

Anthony Cook, at times aided by his brother Nathaniel, embarked on a murder spree in the Toledo, Ohio, area that killed nine people from 1973 until his 1981 arrest for murder. If not for DNA evidence that had been preserved for twenty years, however, the scope of his and Nathaniel's crimes would likely never been known.

The best place to begin the tale is with the last slaying. On September 18, 1981, Anthony Cook assaulted a couple completely out of the blue while the pair sat in a van in an apartment complex parking lot. While the young man fought with Anthony Cook, Sawicki escaped and telephoned police and also her father. Unfortunately, her dad arrived on the scene first and was shot dead by Anthony Cook. The man was shot in the neck and shoulder but survived.

in 1997 police decided to compare the brothers' DNA to some of past crimes. They soon found a match with the murder of a man, and the rape and attempted murder of the mans girlfriend. The Cook brothers confronted the couple while they were sitting in a car and forced them into the backseat, driving them to a secluded area and shooting the male dead. The girl was raped by both brothers and stabbed repeatedly with an ice pick. She was left for dead but did survive the horrible ordeal.

The spree began with Anthony Cook working as a solo act. On December 20, 1973, 22-year-old Vicki Small and some friends had car trouble and Anthony Cook, posing as a helpful citizen, gave Small a lift. She was found raped and shot to death later in the day.

Soon after Small's killing, Anthony Cook went to prison until 1979 on an unrelated robbery conviction but after his release resumed his killing.. Now teamed with brother Nathaniel, he picked up hitchhiker on January 17, 1981. Both brothers raped her until they tired of her, killed her, and dumped her violated body in a culvert. Just ten days later they struck again, forcing a young couple into a vacant garage where they were both shot but survived. Then on February 21 they abducted Dawn Backes, 12, on her way home from school and took her to an abandoned building where she was tortured, raped, and then bludgeoned to death with a concrete block.

After the Backes slaying Anthony Cook went solo once again. On March 27, 1981, he shot dead 2 people. On August 2 he abducted another couple. They were later found in the trunk of Cole's car, beaten to death with a baseball bat. Both had been sexually assaulted. The next month Anthony Cook was arrested for Peter Sawicki's murder and the killings were finally over.

P.O. BOX 9000
SAFFORD, AZ 85548

(Not a murderer - illegal wiretapping of celebrities - some national headlines and a spot in Time magazine)

On February 6, 2006 Pellicano was indicted on 110 counts in United States District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles alleging crimes of racketeering and conspiracy, wiretapping, witness tampering, identity theft and destruction of evidence. Six other associates were also charged. The indictment alleged, in part, that members of the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills police departments unlawfully accessed confidential records on celebrities and public figures that they turned over to Pellicano. Pellicano and associates allegedly tapped actor Sylvester Stallone's telephone and accessed confidential police records on other public figures, including comedians Garry Shandling and Kevin Nealon. The indictment was amended on February 15, 2006 to include two more charges of wiretapping and extortion, at which time prominent entertainment attorney Terry Christensen was also charged.

[Note from bradc30: Prior to this incident, he spent time in federal prison for illegal possession of explosives, firearms and homemade grenades.]

On May 15, 2008, after acting as his own lawyer and suffering a nine day jury deliberation, Pellicano was found guilty on 76 of 77 counts related to racketeering, along with four co-defendants. However, a parade of wealthy witnesses admitted they knew about, paid for and listened to wiretaps, but were not charged. They included Alec Gores, a corporate buyout specialist; Freddy DeMann, a music executive who was once Madonna’s manager; Adam D. Sender, a hedge fund manager and onetime movie investor; and Andrew Stevens, an actor turned movie producer. Summing up, the prosecuting attorney stated that he chose to attack the supply rather than the demand, the way that vice investigators attack pimps and prostitutes rather than johns, because “that’s how you make a dent in it.” The johns in this case were the likes of Bert Fields, Brad Grey, Ron Meyer, Michael Ovitz and Chris Rock, all of whom paid Pellicano for services rendered. “If the government has no plans to go higher than Pellicano, this is a depressingly pedestrian effort that shows a lack of ambition,” commented John C. Coffee, a professor at Columbia Law School and an expert on white-collar crime, as quoted in the NY Times story on the verdict.

Pellicano was convicted of wiretapping and conspiracy to commit wiretapping. Facing 78 guilty counts, and not being allowed to co-serve his two convictions, Pellicano was sentenced in December 2008 to 15 additional years in prison.

(not a murderer- infamous kidnapping and nationwide manhunt)

Anthony Steven Wright, (AKA Tony Zappa) is most notable for the kidnapping of 17 year old Ann Sluti. The case made national headlines and sparked a huge manhunt.

At the time of the kidnapping, Wright was already a fugitive in Minnesota. He had illuded police since Feburary of 2001 when he failed to appear in a Minnesota court on burglary charges. At one point, police in Minnesota went as far as to close the Mall of America in Bloomington while attempting to apprehend him. He again escaped capture.

On April 6, 2001, Wright abducted Ann Sluti from a Kearney, Nebraska shopping mall. He forced her into a Suburban and beat her until she blacked out. He then tied her with chains and duct tape. He then took Ann on the run through several states. He repeatedly raped Ann during the course of her 6 day ordeal. Ann was very smart and repeatedly left clues at various stopping points for authorites to track. She even pretended to contact a buddy (via phone) and contacted her mother. Later on she managed to phone 911.

Authorities were able to track them to Montana. They caught up with Anthony at a cabin near Rollins Montana where he surrendered to police after a 10 hour stand-off. Police credit Ann with helping to end the stand-off by talking with Anthony and helping to convince him to surrender.

Anthony was sentenced to life in prison for this crime.

Anthony Steven Wright was also a suspect in the disappearence of Jodi Huisentruit. She was a Mason City, Iowa television news anchor who went missing in 1995. Her remains have never been found. Anthony has never been charged with any crime related to her disappearence.

This abduction story of Anne Sluti was the basis for a 2009 made-for-TV movie, “Taken in Broad Light”. It has also been featured on multiple documentaries. I also believe Ann was interviewed on Dateline NBC.

No source information is needed on this case because I know this story well since I live in Minnesota.

(Washington School Shooter)

On February 2, 1996 at Frontier Middle School in Moses Lake, Washington; 14-year-old Barry Dale Loukaitis, killed his algebra teacher and two students, and held his classmates hostage for 10 minutes before a gym coach subdued him.

On the day of the shooting, Loukaitis was dressed as a wild west-style gunslinger and was wearing a black duster. He was armed with a .30-30 caliber hunting rifle and two handguns (.357 caliber pistol and .25 caliber semiautomatic pistol) that belonged to his father, and was carrying approximately 78 rounds of ammunition.

Loukaitis walked from his house to his school, where he had entered his algebra classroom during fifth-period. He opened fired at students, killing two and wounding another. He then fatally shot his algebra teacher Leona Caires in the chest. As his classmates began to panic, Loukaitis reportedly said, "This sure beats algebra, doesn't it?", a quote from the Stephen King novel Rage. . Hearing the gunshots, gym coach Jon Lane entered the classroom. Loukaitis was holding his classmates hostage, and planned to use one hostage so he could safely exit the school. Lane volunteered as the hostage, and Loukaitis was keeping Lane at gun point with his rifle. Lane then grabbed the weapon from Loukaitis and wrestled him to the ground, and assisted the evacuation of students.

Lane kept Loukaitis subdued until police arrived at the scene. The two students that were killed were 14-year-olds Arnold Fritz and Manuel Vela, Jr. Another student, 13-year-old Natalie Hintz, sustained critical gunshot wounds to the right arm and abdomen, and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

He is currently serving two life sentences and an additional 205 years in prison.

Walla Walla, WA 99362

(Notorious Wah Mee Massacre killer)

(see also Kwan Fai Mak)

The Wah Mee massacre was a multiple homicide on February 18, 1983, in which Kwan Fai "Willie" Mak, Wai-Chiu "Tony" Ng, and Benjamin Ng gunned down 14 people in the Wah Mee gambling club on Maynard Alley S. just south of S. King Street in Seattle's Chinatown. Thirteen of their victims lost their lives, but one survived to testify against the three in one of Seattle's highest-profile trials ever. It remains the deadliest mass murder in the state's history.

The Wah Mee club operated illegally in a basement space in a predominantly Chinese neighborhood. The club's regulars included many wealthy restaurant-owners, several of whom were among the victims. Security at the club was based in part on a system of passing through multiple successive doors, which had been used in similar Chinatown gambling dens for generations, and had usually been quite effective. Mak and his accomplices defeated the system only because they were known and trusted by the people at the club. Their presumed intent was to leave no witnesses, since club patrons could readily identify them, as, in fact, the one survivor, Wai Y. Chin, did. In fact, Mak had been planning the robbery for weeks, and he enlisted Benjamin Ng, and later Tony Ng.

On February 24, 1983, Benjamin Ng and Willie Mak were charged with 13 counts of aggravated first-degree murder. In August 1983 Benjamin Ng was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. In October 1983, Willie Mak was convicted of murder and sentenced to die.

Note: Here is a link to a photo of the crime scene after the bodies were removed and the police finished investigating the crime. The building was locked and supposedly never opened again after this due to Chinese beliefs that the building is cursed. It allegedly still looks like this today.

(claims he was molested by JW Gacy)
Death toll 2+
If he's convicted of the 1983 abduction, rape and murder of 10-year-old. The 51-year-old Dugan is serving life terms for two sex slayings in the mid-1980s. Dugan Claims to have bben molested by John Wane Gacy.
Illinois' capital punishment law sets forth specific factors that a judge or jury may consider to mitigate punishment. A history of emotional or physical abuse is one of them.
But even if Dugan is telling the truth about being molested by John Wane Gacy -- who tortured, raped and killed 33 young men -- is it enough to sway those who hold his fate when weighed against his life of crime?Dugan told them when he was about 15, he was walking from his home to the grocery store. A man in a dark-colored car asked him if he needed a job and offered him a ride. Dugan said he hopped in the car, which was cluttered with construction tools. He immediately felt trapped. The man drove him to a secluded area, possibly an old quarry, where Dugan recalls kids used to swim. He didn't offer specifics, other than that the site was on the outskirts of town near some railroad tracks and possibly a sewage treatment plant. Dugan claims the man forced him to perform and submit to oral sex after having him try on a pair of bikini briefs he gave him to model. Afterward, Dugan said the man drove him to the grocery store. Dugan said he grabbed the $20 bill the man tossed on the dashboard and left.

Celeste Beard Johnson #01157250
2305 Ransom Road
Gatesville, TX 76528

Celeste Beard Johnson was convicted of murder for the killing of her husband Steven Beard. Celeste met Steven while working as a waitress at a Country Club in Austin. Steven was a multi-millionaire who had made his money in television. According to most accounts, she married Steven solely for his money. She rapidly began to go on extravagant shopping sprees and spending huge sums of Stevens’s money. Steven apparently cut her off because of this. Celeste then threatened suicide. She was admitted to a mental health facility where she befriended another patient named Tracey Tarlton. The two women began a lesbian relationship that continued after they were released. Prosecutors claim that Celeste's motivation was to get Tracey to kill her husband so she could inherit Steven's fortune. On October 2, 1999 Tracey Tarlton entered the Beard home through an unlocked door and shot Steven in the abdomen with a 20 gauge shotgun. Steven initially survived the shooting and was able to call 911 himself. After a lengthily stay in the hospital, Steven died from his injuries on January 21, 2000.
Initially police suspected Celeste was involved, but Tracey was unwilling to cooperate with them. However, after learning that Celeste quickly re-married another man, she agreed to help police. Celeste was subsequently convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. She will be eligible for parole in 2043 at roughly 80 years old. Tracey was released from prison in 2009.
There have been books and numerous television shows about this case.
Author Suzy Spencer wrote the book "The Fortune Hunter" covering the case of Celeste Beard

The book "Wounded Bird" was written by Celeste's mother Nancy Hall, and gives another version of the story.
Here is a website that links to information about Nancy's book.

Charles Albright
Murdered and tortured 3 prostitutes. He would surgically remove their eyes for trophies.
Mary Lou Pratt, 33 (another source says 35), a known prostitute who worked that area. On "Autopsy," the area was described as a hangout for drug dealers, drug addicts, and prostitutes. (Matthews and Wicker indicate that Lee Harvey Oswald retreated to a movie theater here after shooting President Kennedy.) To the police that day, the murder just seemed like one of the routine risks of the shady business of prostitution. Yet it was soon discovered that this one went beyond the reactive type of killing from anger or over money. There was something more deviant about it.
Dr. Elizabeth Peacock, the medical examiner, was going over the body to ascertain the cause and manner of death when she placed her hands on the dead woman's face and prepared to look at the condition of the eyes. She touched the stiffening lid and pushed it open. To her surprise, she saw only muscle and gore. No eye. In fact, it appeared that the eyeball had been removed with surgical care, and not merely gouged out in anger with someone's thumbs. Moving to the other eye, she opened the lid and saw the same thing. This killer had removed both eyes without making much of a mark on the lids and apparently had taken them with him.
Peterson was nearly nude, with her T-shirt pulled up to display her breasts in the same manner as Pratt. She'd been shot three times: in the top of the head, in the left breast and point-blank in the back of the head. One bullet had pierced her heart and another entered her brain. A clump of her hair lay on her chest. She had been dumped in south Dallas, just outside city limits, and the ME found that this victim bore another grisly similarity: her eyes had been surgically removed. There had been no bleeding, Matthews points out, and only two small cuts.
So now they knew they had a repeat killer, one who apparently operated from ritual, just as the FBI report had said. Even worse, two days before her murder, Peterson had indicated to a patrol officer that she might know who Mary Lou Pratt's killer was. She hadn't offered an identification then, and now that information was gone along with her. But it appeared that the offender had taken Peterson to the same place to kill her as he had taken Pratt. That helped to establish what geographical profilers would term his "zone of familiarity." He likely lived or worked in the area, and was almost certainly a resident of Dallas, rather than a roving stranger passing through town.
On March 18, despite stepped-up police patrols, a black part-time prostitute, Shirley Williams, 41, was murdered. Her nude body was found lying on its side near a school, and blood pooled from her face onto the street. The medical examiner who came to the scene rolled back her eyelids, fearing the worst, and discovered that this was the third victim in this series: the eyes were gone. Williams also had facial bruises and a broken nose, probably from being punched, and she had been shot through the top of her head and in the face.
Again, there were no fingerprints and no semen. If the killer had had sex with these women, he had been careful to use a condom. In fact, an unwrapped condom lay next to the body. But he had not been nearly as careful this time as he removed the eyes. He'd slashed at her face as if he did not know quite how to perform this deed, and in the eye socket, he'd broken off the tip of what turned out to be an X-Acto knife. Perhaps he'd been rushed, someone speculated. It had been late when she'd disappeared.
As a child whatever Charles set out to do, he did well. When he was given a gun, Charles killed small animals and told his mother he wanted to be a taxidermist, so she helped him to learn how to skin and stuff his dead birds. His products were lifelike, but he was not allowed to complete them with the glass eyes sold in taxidermy shops because they were too expensive and Delle was frugal in the extreme. Instead, she had him use buttons. In other words, "eyes" were forbidden. He may well have developed a desire to get the eyes that his mother had denied him.

Chevie Kehoe #21300-009
USP LEE
U.S. PENITENTIARY
P.O. BOX 305
JONESVILLE, VA 24263

Chevie Kehoe is a self-proclaimed white supremacist and convicted murderer currently serving three consecutive life sentences for the kidnapping, torture, and murder of the William Mueller family. Father, mother and a young girl I believe. However, he is most notable for the February 15, 1997 shootout in Wilmington, Ohio with an Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper and a Clinton County sheriff's deputy during a standard traffic stop resulting from expired tags on his 1977 Chevrolet Suburban. The video has been aired on numerous police related television shows.
Raised with increasingly extreme anti-government and white supremacist beliefs, Chevie Kehoe formed an ambitious plan to bring down the United States government with his self-styled "Aryan People's Republic" militia. In order to attract recruits, Kehoe embarked upon a series of property and firearms crimes that would eventually lead him from his home in eastern Washington State to Arkansas (the home of the Mueller family) as he followed gun show events.

On February 20, 1998, Kehoe pled guilty to felonious assault, attempted murder, and carrying a concealed weapon and began serving time in an Ohio prison. In 2005, Kehoe was convicted of the murders of the gun dealer Robert Mueller and his family. He received three sentences of life imprisonment without parole. Kehoe's mother Gloria and his younger brother Cheyne (the driver in the shootout video with Chevie) served as prosecution witnesses and testified against him at the trial. Chevie was released to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons after his time was served in Ohio to serve his sentence for the murders of the Mueller family.

Chevie Kehoe is the passenger in the blue Suburban who pulled the gun, his brother Cheyne is the driver. It appears that Cheyne is not in prison. There is no record of him on the Ohio DOC website, the Arkansas DOC website, or the Federal BOP website. If anyone has information to add to this about Cheyne that would be nice. Here is a link to the shootout video on Youtube

Craig W.J. Minogue
H.M. Prison Barwon
Bacchus Marsh Road
Lara, Victoria 3212
Australia

The Russell Street Bombing, for which Minogue was initially imprisoned, occurred at 1 pm on March 27, 1986. The blast killed 21 year old Constable Angela Taylor and left 22 people injured and caused massive amounts of damage to the Russell Street Police Headquarters and surrounding buildings, with damage estimated at over a million dollars.
In 1992 Minogue established the first ever law library in Pentridge's J Division. This was a 'first' for an Australian prison.
Minogue has initiated many legal challenges against the Victorian government, mostly concerning his treatment while imprisoned. In 2002 Minogue applied unsuccessfully to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) seeking copies of prison management and operation manuals. His request was refused, but he was granted access to limited information and restricted to viewing such information while within the prison library.
Minogue's willingness to institute legal proceedings against prison authorities has not endeared him to them. In 2003 Minogue took action in the Victorian Supreme Court against Group4, the UK based company which operates Port Phillip Prison. The action was in relation to the prison's confiscation of his computer and much of his legal and academic materials. Group4 settled the action by returning Minogues belongings. Shortly after this Minogue was moved to the state run maximum security Barwon prison where, as of November 2007, he remains.
In 2005 Minogue, who entered the prison system illiterate, completed his Bachelor of Arts Degree with Honors from Deakin University. In the same year he was accepted as a PhD. student at La Trobe University, the first prisoner in Australia and one of the few in the world to do so. Minogue uses his web site www.craigminogue.com to keep interested parties abreast of his academic work.
Minogue requests a single bed cell while imprisoned, as is normal for Victorian prisoners, and shares his cell with a large amount of legal texts, hardcover law resource books, academic materials, PC and printer. He has helped many prisoners with legal matters and has authored a series of self help pamphlets explaining in simple terms the workings of the Victorian criminal justice system. These pamphlets are also used in community education programs run by Victorian community legal centers and the "Court Readiness Program" run by Monash University.
On October 29, 1987, Minogue, along with other prisoners detained in the high security Jika Jika unit of Pentridge Prison, were dissatisfied with inhumane conditions in the unit. They began to seal off doors to their cells using a tennis net and bedding. Windows were covered with paper so the prison officers were unable to identify prisoners causing damage.
The prisoners emptied water from the S bend of the toilets in their cells. They had planned to use a wet blanket to cover their heads while they attempted to breath the small amount of air in the sewage plumbing system when a fire was lit. Smoke rapidly filled the unit. Jika Jika was completely free of any fresh air whatsoever as it was a climate controlled division. In spite of the men's attempts to avoid the thick, toxic black smoke by breathing through the plumbing, prisoners Robert Wright, Jimmy Loughnan, Arthur Gallagher, David McGauley and Ricky Morris died in the fire. Minogue and three other prisoners survived. All four spent days on ventilators recovering in the prison hospital.

Phoenix, AZ 85009
U.S.A.

The Serial Shooter, who is believed to have killed eight people and wounded 20 others between May 17th 2005 and August 2006.
(Dale is one of two men arrested in a string of serial shootings. He has denied any involvement but says his roommate may have used his car and weapons to carry out the attacks without his knowledge.
"I am not a monster, I feel very sorry for the families of the people who were hurt, but I didn't do it."
Hausner, 33, said the other man arrested for the crimes — Samuel John Dieteman — might have taken Hausner's car and guns to commit the crimes.

Dale said he let Dieteman move into his apartment because he felt sorry for a guy with no job or home.
Hausner told the newspaper he believes Dieteman implicated him in the killings to deflect blame, though he said he's not sure Dieteman is capable of such violence. Hausner said he had not suspected Dieteman was involved.
Hausner said Dieteman didn't have weapons of his own, as far as he knows. Now, Hausner said, he wonders and worries about whether Dieteman used Hausner's firearms and car during the killing spree.
Dieteman, 30, and Hausner, 33, face two counts each of first-degree murder and 14 counts each of attempted first-degree murder. A preliminary hearing is scheduled Aug. 14.
Overall, they are being investigated in 36 shootings, including 17 that targeted people and others that involved animals.
Police who interviewed Dieteman said the two took turns shooting people in the city over the course of more than a year.
They said Dieteman, a burly electrician with a ragged mop of jet black hair, would blast at lone pedestrians from the window of a silver Toyota Camry in what he called "random recreational violence."
Police said he told them that on other nights the triggerman was Hausner, a baby-faced janitor and freelance photographer.
After each shooting, the car would drive slowly away, leaving little evidence other than the victim's body on a sidewalk.

Dana Gray

Dana Sue Gray is an American serial killer who murdered three elderly women in 1994. She was caught after her fourth victim survived and identified her. Gray says she committed these murders to support her spending habits. After Killing her victims she would go on massive spending sprees..
Norma Davis
Norma Davis, 86, is thought to be Gray’s first victim; due to lack of evidence, however, Gray was never convicted of killing her. On February 16, 1994, Norma Davis had been dead for two days when she was found by her neighbor, Alice Williams. Davis had a wood handled utility knife sticking out of her neck, and a fillet knife sticking out of her chest. Other than a broken fingernail, she had no other marks. A bloodied afghan lay at her feet. Detectives learned that there was no forced entry into the house. [3] Detectives were informed that she always kept her door locked unless she was expecting a visitor. Williams stated she could not remember Davis mentioning she was expecting company. Detectives found a Nike shoe print pointed toward the kitchen. They also found Davis’ $148 Social Security check.[citation needed] On the first floor of Davis’ condo a smear of blood was found on an arm chair. A ripped out phone cord was also found. [4]
June Roberts
June Roberts, 66, was killed on February 28, 1994. June Roberts, like Norma Davis, lived in the gated community Canyon Lake. Gray had visited Roberts one day claiming she wanted to borrow a book about controlling a drinking problem. Roberts led Gray into her house. While Roberts searched for the book, Gray unplugged Roberts’ phone, both the straight cord and the curly cord. She then used the curly cord to strangle Roberts. When Roberts was dead, Gray rifled through her credit cards, stealing two. An hour later, Gray went on a massive shopping spree at an upscale shopping center in Temecula.
Dorinda Hawkins
Gray attacked Hawkins, 57, at her job at an antique store. Hawkins had been working alone that day. Gray came in to buy a picture frame for a photo of her deceased mother. Gray strangled her with a telephone cord. Gray took $5 from Hawkins' purse and $20 from the cash register. An hour later, Gray went on another shopping spree, using Roberts’ credit card. Hawkins had survived the assault, however, and was able to give detectives a description of Gray. The next day the story was in the newspaper.
Dora Beebe
On March 16, 1994, Gray killed Dora Beebe, 87. A few minutes after Beebe came home from a doctor’s appointment, Gray pulled up in front of Beebe’s house. Gray knocked on Beebe’s door and asked Beebe for directions. Beebe invited Gray inside to look at a map. Once inside Gray attacked and killed Beebe. Beebe was found later that day by her boyfriend of eight years, Louis Dormand. An hour later, Gray used Beebe’s credit card to go on a shopping spree.

Daniel Pelosi # 05A2706
Elmira Correctional Facility
1879 Davis St
P.O. Box 500
Elmira, New York 14901-0500

(Famous murder that a ” Law and Order” episode was based on, a TV movie made, and TV documentaries have been made about this case)

Daniel Pelosi is the convicted murderer of Wall Street multi-millionaire financier Ted Ammon.

Ted Ammon was involved in the mother of all divorces with his wife Generosa. Pelosi met Generosa while seeking work as an electrician. Generosa hired him to supervise the renovation of her townhouse, and they soon began an affair. Pelosi, who was also married with three children, stayed at Ammon's East Hampton home with Generosa and her two adopted children.

When Ted and Generosa were only a few days from finalizing their divorce, Ted was found beaten to death in the East Hamptons vacation home. Because their divorce was not finalized and Ted's will had not been updated, Generosa inherited the majority of his estate. In January 2002, Generosa married Pelosi, and then sold the properties she had owned jointly with Ammon. While she and Pelosi were considered persons of interest in Ted's murder there was no physical evidence linking them to the murder. However, Generosa and Daniel had a security system installed in the East Hampton home that included hidden surveillance cameras, and a computer hard drive to record the information that was hidden in an attic. Ted was supposedly unaware of the system. When the police discovered the murder, the hard drive was mysteriously missing from the attic. As far as I know, this hard drive has never been found.

Prior to Daniel's indictment, he and Generosa divorced also. Generosa also cut Daniel out of her will.

Generosa was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and died from the disease in August, 2003 and was never charged with any crime relating to Ted's death.

In March of 2004 Daniel was arrested for the murder of Ted Ammon. Prosecutors suggested that Pelosi killed Ammon to ensure his new-found lifestyle. His former girlfriend testified that he enjoyed killing Ammon. His father testified that Daniel had asked him how to get rid of incriminating evidence. Convicted in December 2004, Pelosi maintains his innocence and will be eligible for parole in August of 2031.

There was a "Law and Order" television episode loosely based on this crime. There has been at least one television documentary about this case. I believe it was a "48 Hours Hard Evidence" episode. There was also a TV movie titled “Murder in the Hamptons" made about this crime.

Daniel Rakowitz
Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center
600 East 125th Street
Wards Island, NY 10035

Daniel Rakowitz is an American murderer and cannibal. He was born in 1960 in Rockport, Texas, where his father was a policeman. He moved to New York around 1985.
In Manhattan's East Village in 1989, Rakowitz walked around Tompkins Square Park bragging that he had killed his roommate, Monica Beerle, a Swiss student at the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance, and a dancer at Billy's Topless. He said that he had boiled her head and made soup from her brain. He had tasted it and liked it, and thereafter he referred to himself as a cannibal.
He was found not guilty by reason of insanity on February 22, 1991, and was moved to a state hospital for the criminally insane.
In 2004, a Manhattan jury determined that Rakowitz was no longer dangerous, but was still mentally ill enough to require inpatient care.
Daniel Rakowitz was a well-known character in the neighborhood around Tompkins Square Park in the late 1980s. Part of a rootless young crowd that squatted in the Park, he earned a reputation as an oddball among even this seriously iconoclastic group. He was often seen wandering about with a chicken on his shoulder, mumbling about the devil and police control. To those would listen he announced that he was Jesus and would soon take over the country and legalized marijuana.
Bemusement turned to horror, however, when it was discovered that, on August 19, 1989, Rakowitz had murdered his roommate, Monica Beerle, a Swiss dancer and student, and, over the next several weeks, dissected and boiled her remains in the kitchen of their apartment at 700 East 9th Street. A friend of his actually walked in while Beerle's head was in a pot on the stove but did not notify the police. " I didn't want to hurt him anymore," she explained. Rakowitz put Beerle's skull and bones in a plastic pail that he deposited in a locker at the Port Authority bus station.
Rakowitz then bragged about the killing to the crowd of regulars in the Park, but he was known to be so demented that nobody took him seriously. Some, however grew a little queasy when they recalled the soup that he had not long before brought into the Park and ladled out to the homeless. (It is unknown if Rakowitz actually turned his victim into stew). But the police eventually got word of rumors of the homicide, picked him up, and received a tangled, bizarre confession filled with talk of Satanism, animal sacrifice, and the new religion that Rakowitz had started. In a later interview he said, "I'm the new Lord, and I will take leadership of the satanic cultists to make sure they do everything that has to be done to destroy all those people who do disagree with my church. And I'm going to be the youngest person elected to the U.S. presidency.
Born in 1960 in the little town of Rockport, Texas, Rakowitz evidently showed signs of mental illness quite early, and was given psychiatric care and medication even as a pre-teen. He came to New York sometime around 1985 and quickly established his reputation.
He was found not guilty by reason of insanity on February 22, 1991 and shipped off to a state hospital for the criminally insane.
Monica Beerle, who was studying at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance, had moved in with Rakowitz only out of a desperate need for an apartment. She had lived with him for only 16 days.

Daniel Woloson A88114
Pinckneyville Correctional Center
5835 State Route 154
P.O. Box 999
Pinckneyville, Il 62274

Daniel Woloson, was found guilty of murdering the 21-year-old radio television student from Chicago Heights.
Woloson, 46, was arrested and charged with Schumake's murder on Sept. 23, 2004, after the woman friends referred to as a "gentle spirit" was brutally raped and murdered on Aug. 17, 1981.
Advances in DNA technology helped create a DNA profile of the person who raped and killed Schumake. The DNA profile showed that there was one out 290 million people that it would match. It matched Woloson.
Schumake's body was found between the railroad tracks and Highway 51, along a pathway known then as the Ho Chi Minh trail. While the trail still remains, it is no longer used. After Schumake was killed, the pedestrian overpass near the Physical Plant was erected and named in her memory.
While the prosecution used DNA evidence to link Woloson to Schumake's murder, the defense claimed the evidence was contaminated and never linked Woloson to the crime.
But the jury thought otherwise. After four days of testimony last week, the jury deliberated for less than two hours..
Woloson was 22 years old when he raped and murdered Schumake. Woloson was working at the Quadrangle Apartment, performing maintenance labor. He could not be charged with Schumake's rape because the statute of limitation ran out years ago.
While DNA linked Woloson to the murder, John Schumake said the determination of several police officers played an integral role in solving the 25-year-old mystery.
Lowell McGee, a retired SIUC police detective, said he had a feeling it was Woloson all along. He had interviewed Woloson days after the murder and set up another meeting, but Woloson never showed.
In 1981, he made the trip to the Joliet Corrections department to visit Woloson. Woloson was serving time for a parole violation on a prior burglary conviction.
Then technology advanced, a DNA profile was made of the unknown male DNA found in Schumake's vagina after she was raped.
After Echols had a profile, he went back to the other suspects. Police first believed convicted serial killer John Paul Phillips was guilty of the murder. However, after exhuming his body when he died in 1993 and testing his femur for DNA, he was ruled out.
Besides Woloson, there were two other suspects the police continued to look at. DNA ruled both of them out as well. When Woloson was asked to provide DNA, he refused and denied any connection to Schumake.
Echols talked to Michigan police, conducted surveillance and finally got a break when cigarette butts from a car Woloson recently sold were obtained.
The DNA from the cigarette butts matched the unknown male profile linked to the murder. He obtained a search warrant and went to Michigan where he arrested Woloson for the murder.

Davey Mato Butorac

Matthew Claxton, The Times
Published: Friday, September 26, 2008
A third murder charge will be laid soon against accused killer Davey Mato Butorac, a Crown lawyer said in court this week.
Butorac, an Aldergrove resident, appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Thursday morning, as part of his pre-trial conference. He is currently facing two charges of second-degree murder, accused in the deaths of Sheryl Lynn Koroll, 50, and Gwendolyn Jo Lawton, 46, of Abbotsford. Crown counsel Matt Stacey said a new third charge of second-degree murder is anticipated soon. Because the charge has not yet been laid, no one at the Crown counsel's office nor members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team could confirm the identity of the third suspected victim.
However, IHIT spokesperson Cpl. Dale Carr did confirm that the police finished an investigation linked to Butorac recently. The Mounties have forwarded all their information to Crown and recommended charges be approved, Carr said. During the summer, IHIT was openly investigating whether Butorac was linked to the death of Aldergrove's Margaret Redford.
Redford's body was found in May 2006 in Bertrand Creek, less than a kilometre from Butorac's home.
By July, police had taken DNA samples from Butorac and were checking them against evidence from the 48-year-old woman's slaying.
"We're looking to establish a link between him and the Redford homicide," Carr said at the time.
The police were also looking into other unsolved murders to see if there were further links to their suspect. Carr said unsolved murder cases are routinely reviewed as new evidence comes to light.
However, no further charges are expected, he said.
"At this time, I'm not aware of any more investigations [linked to Butorac]," Carr said. Butorac appeared only briefly in the courtroom, his head shaved down to stubble and wearing orange prison garb. He has remained in custody ever since his arrest in early January. He was 29 at the time. He will be back in court on Oct. 27 to begin a preliminary hearing. Prominent Vancouver defence lawyer Richard Fowler is representing Butorac. He said his office has been waiting too long for the police and Crown to turn over evidence he needs before a trial can begin.
"Disclosure in this case has been nothing short of appalling," Fowler said. "I don't know why."
Shortly after his arrest, Butorac contacted the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP to protest police interrogation tactics. Before his arrest on murder charges, Butorac's criminal history was limited to property crimes. Both of Butorac's alleged victims were working as prostitutes and were known to have drug problems before their deaths.
Lawton's body was found on March 13, 2007 by the side of a gravel road in northwest Abbotsford. Koroll's body was found in the Rempel Bros. Concrete parking lot on Mufford Crescent on July 7, 2007.

Dayton Leroy Rogers 3746005
Oregon State Prison
2605 State Street
Salem, OR 97310-0505

Dayton Leroy Rogers was born in Idaho in 1954. His family eventually ended up in Oregon where Rogers would one day join the long list of West Caost Serial Slayers. His first serious offense occurred at the age of eighteen when he stabbed his fifteen-year-old girlfriend in the stomach, but escaped with only a lengthy probation sentence. A year later Rogers was confined to a mental facility for a sexual assault on two teen girls. He was also found innocent of a 1976 rape before being finally sent to prison for five years after the knifepoint rape of a young woman.
Rogers served seventeen months initially and another ten soon after his release for parole violations, but his criminal life was not slowed down. In August of 1987 several witnesses fingered him in the murder of Jennifer Smith. Rogers was seen crouched over the prostitute in an Oak Grove, Oregon, parking lot. A brave citizen followed Rogers and took down his license plate number as the apparent killer fled the scene in his truck. Police arrsted Rogers at this engine repair business early the following morning.
In the meantime the bodies of seven women were discovered in a wooded area near Mololla. One has remained unidentified (thus Rogers has never been charged with her murder) but the other six were Lisa Mock, 23, Maureen Hodges, 26, Christine Adams, 35, Nondace Cervantes, 26, Reatha Gyles, 16, and Cynthia Devore, 21. Only one did not have links to prostitution or drugs. Rogers was not a suspect until an evidence search of the dump site revealed that the ground was littered with small individual containers of orange juice and miniature vodka bottles that Rogers was almost never without.
In his trial for the murder of Smith, Rogers pleaded not guilty but was sentenced to life in prison. He had claimed self-defense, claiming Smith had held a knife to his throat prior to his killing her. At his subsequent trial for the slayings of the six known Mololla victims he was found guilty and sentenced to death and now sits on Oregon's death row. At his two trials several surviving victims testified to Rogers' taste for bondage and torture, facts corroborated by the injuries inflicted on the murderered women, some of whom had their feet cut off, possible while still alive.

DeMarcus Smith 288043
Warren Correctional Institution
PO Box 120
Lebanon, Ohio 45036
See Laura Taylor
"There was no reason for me to be out there causing harm. ... I was trying to be known,"
Accomplice DeMarcus Smith, 18, pled guilty to 4 of the murders and received four life sentences plus 255 years for 11 other felony charges related to the crime spree. He will not be eligible for parole until 2118. Aura Jeane Taylor, 17, received a life sentence, Heather Matthews, 21, pled guilty and received a life sentence with a 53 year minimum. UPDATE: Marvallous Keene was sentenced to death for the aggravated murders of five victims. The offenses occurred in Dayton, OH on December 24 and 26, 1992. In December 1992, Keene was consorting with a group of people, including several juveniles, who at various times stayed at Bill McIntire’s apartment. This group included Laura Taylor, DeMarcus Smith, Nicholas Woodson, Heather N. Mathews, Wendy Cottrill, Marvin Washington, and Jeffrey Wright. On December 24, 1992, Keene and Taylor enlisted Mathews to help them rob Joseph Wilkerson, an acquaintance of Taylor’s. Taylor told Mathews that she had arranged for the three of them to go to Wilkerson’s house on the pretext of having an orgy with Wilkerson. Mathews agreed to take part in the robbery. Keene, Taylor, and Mathews walked to Wilkerson’s house. After a drink, Wilkerson and Taylor went to the bedroom. After waiting briefly, Keene and Mathews followed them. Wilkerson began to take his clothes off. Taylor and Mathews pretended to do the same. Keene began to remove his own pants, then pulled them back up and drew a gun. He ordered Wilkerson onto the bed, then commanded Taylor and Mathews to tie Wilkerson’s hands to the bed. While Keene watched Wilkerson, Taylor and Mathews went through the house, looking for things to steal. They took a microwave oven, a TV, a cordless phone, a curling iron, and a blow dryer, which they loaded into Wilkerson’s Buick. Wilkerson told Keene that he kept a .32-caliber derringer in the garage. Keene found it and brought it back to the bedroom. Keene subsequently confessed that he shot Wilkerson in the chest with the derringer, after covering him with blankets to muffle the noise. Taylor and Mathews, hearing the shot, returned to the bedroom and saw Keene holding the derringer. Wilkerson’s feet were shaking. Keene handed the derringer to Taylor, but it would not fire again. So Keene gave Taylor his own gun, and Taylor shot Wilkerson in the head. Wilkerson stopped shaking. Keene and his accomplices then left in the Buick. Keene warned his accomplices not to tell Cottrill and Washington. Later that evening, Keene, Taylor, and Smith went walking. Keene and Smith were carrying guns. Keene later confessed to police that, as they were walking, they saw Danita Gullette at a public telephone. Smith and Keene drew their guns, and Smith forced Gullette at gunpoint to take her shoes off. Smith and Keene then shot Gullette. Smith took her shoes and jacket. When they returned to the apartment, Taylor was wearing Gullette’s jacket and Smith was carrying Gullette’s shoes. Later that night, Smith shot Mathews’s boyfriend, Jeffrey Wright, outside 159 Yuma. Keene, Mathews, Taylor, and Smith then left in Wilkerson’s Buick. On December 25, Keene returned to Wilkerson’s house and stole more items, including Wilkerson’s other car, a Pontiac. Also on December 25, Taylor robbed and murdered her former boyfriend, Richmond Maddox. Early in the morning of December 26, Mathews drove the Pontiac to a BP service station, where appellant and Smith stole Kathie Henderson’s car at gunpoint. Appellant and Smith drove off in Henderson’s car; Mathews followed in the Pontiac. Later that morning, Mathews drove the Pontiac to the Short Stop Mini-Mart, with Keene, Smith, and Taylor in the car. Taylor went into the store, then came back to report that there were only two people inside. Mathews handed a .32-caliber revolver to Smith; Smith and Keene were also carrying .25-caliber automatic pistols. Keene and Smith went into the store. Sarah Abraham, whose family owned the store, was working behind the cash register. Keene ordered her at gunpoint to open it. Abraham did so and removed $40, which she handed to Keene. Keene shot Abraham in the head. Several days later, Abraham died of her wound. Smith also shot at two other people, Jones Pettus, a customer, wounding him, and Edward Thompson, a helper, both of whom survived and testified against Keene. Later that day, Taylor and Mathews discussed "jumping" Cottrill because they "thought she was telling on us." According to Mathews’s testimony, there was no discussion of shooting her. However, in a subsequent conversation with Keene, Taylor, Mathews, and Woodson, Smith said that "he was going to unload a clip in [Marvin Washington’s] ass." According to Keene’s confession, Smith "thought that Wendy and Marvin were going to snitch about [Smith] shooting Jeff Wright." The group discussed picking Washington and Cottrill up and taking them "to a park or something." The group drove to 159 Yuma and picked up Washington and Cottrill. They dropped Woodson off at his home, then drove to a gravel pit. At the gravel pit, Smith ordered Washington out of the car, and Keene dragged Cottrill out. Washington and Cottrill protested that they had not gone to the police or "snitched." Keene and Smith forced them at gunpoint to walk behind a pile of gravel. There, Keene shot Cottrill, and Smith shot Washington. The grand jury indicted Keene on eight counts of aggravated murder — two counts each for Wilkerson, Washington, and Cottrill; one count each for Gullette and Abraham. The Wilkerson counts each carried six death specifications (course of conduct, escaping detection, two aggravated robbery, two aggravated burglary). The Cottrill counts each carried four death specifications (course of conduct, witness-murder, two kidnapping). The Washington counts each carried three death specifications (course of conduct, witness murder, kidnapping). The Gullette and Abraham counts each carried two death specifications (course of conduct, aggravated robbery). The indictment also included six counts of aggravated robbery, one count of aggravated burglary, one count of burglary, two counts of kidnapping, and two counts of attempted aggravated murder. All counts carried a firearm specification. Waiving a jury, appellant was tried to a three-judge panel, which found him guilty on all counts. The panel found four death specifications as to Wilkerson’s aggravated murder counts (course of conduct, escaping detection, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary); however, the panel merged the "escaping detection" and felony-murder specifications. The panel found three death specifications on the Cottrill murder (course of conduct, kidnapping-principal offender, witness murder), three on the Washington murder (same), and two on the Gullette and Abraham murders (course of conduct, aggravated robbery). The Wilkerson, Washington, and Cottrill aggravated murder counts were merged so that only one remained for each victim, a total of five. After a mitigation hearing, the panel sentenced appellant to death on each of the five counts. The judgment was affirmed. Accomplice DeMarcus Smith, 18, pled guilty to four of the murders and received four life sentences plus 255 years for 11 other felony charges related to the crime spree. He will not be eligible for parole until 2118.

British serial killer who lived in London and served in the Army. He is known to have killed at least 15 men and boys between 1978 and 1983, when he was eventually caught after his disposal of a body blocked his household drains and drew the attention of the police. The British Jeffrey Dahmer. This alcoholic homosexual could not come to grips with life in the closet and resorted to murder and necrophilia. He would lure young homeless men to his apartment, render them unconscious with liquor and strangle them to death to the sound of the LSO's 'Classic Rock' recordings. He liked to stash their bodies under the floor boards and in cupboards. Occasionally he would take one out, bathe and dress it, and pretend to have a date. He would lay the corpse next to him in bed and masturbate. Then, return it to the floor boards. Like Dahmer, he killed out of loneliness. He enjoyed small talk with his friends the cadavers. He kept an assortment of body parts around the house as company and sometimes even left them in plain view when he went out to work.
Nilsen killed at least 14 men over 4 years, and destroyed their bodies in a series of large bonfires in his garden. However, when he was forced to move to a new apartment with no garden he had to improvise new ways to dispose of "his friends." In 1983 he was discovered when he tried to flush human remains down the toilet, and clogged the plumbing. The neighbours complained about the blocked drains, and caught him trying to clear them at midnight. When the Police searched his top floor apartment, they discovered body parts of 3 men, who Nilsen had dismembered using his army butchery skills.

The South Side Rapist",
Raped possibly 100 women

"I'd be walking down the street, and a door or window would be open and it would just draw me," Rabbitt says. "It was ... erotic." The victims' identity didn't matter: "They were part of me anyway. I may have been in their houses 15 or 20 times, just looking around."

Police for years were puzzled by a series of rapes dating to the learly1970s and through the 1990s that began on the south side of St. Louis and spread to neighboring counties in both Missouri and Illinois. Many of the crimes happened in well-to-do neighborhoods. Rabbitt is estimated to have raped more than 100 women across Missouri and Illinois and, at the end, in New Mexico. The victims' ages (14 to 82), traits and appearance were irrelevant--he says he thought them all beautiful and performed oral sex to bring them pleasure. On a few occasions he turned explosively violent; most of the time he menaced the women into submission and then acted like a rough, awkward but eager suitor. He boasts, face flushed, about what he took to be orgasms, dismissing any suggestion that fear might make a woman tremble and breathe hard.
The one constant was the rapist's method of attack — climbing through an unlocked door or window after the woman had gone to bed.
An attempted burglary in Jefferson County led a detective to Rabbitt in July 1997. Rabbitt gave a DNA sample and then fled the area before it could be analyzed.
A nationwide manhunt ensued, and Rabbitt was arrested on Feb. 28, 1999, in Albuquerque, N.M.
Rabbitt confessed to raping at least 100 women since his late teens, though charges centered on rapes of a 10-year period that began in 1988. He pleaded guilty to about 50 felony counts in Missouri and also pleaded guilty to rapes in the Metro East area of Illinois.
Rabbitt blamed his actions on a medieval demon he said had taken possession of him from time to time
HI, my name is Dennis Rabbitt, 50 years young. I am a lifer doing my time in New Mexico. I am paying the price for living a sinful life. I am not the same person that committed my crimes. I think totally different today then I did back then. I would like to take credit for the change in me but I have to give that credit to the Lord. I am a born again Christian living in a peace that can only come from the Lord that the world can not explain.

His pen pal request
The reason I am taking out an ad is to meet new people. I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them over time, someday being able to call them friends. Men or women, I will be an honest and loyal man to whoever writes to me and I don't discriminate against anyone fro any reason.

Dennis Rader
The BTK Killer

Dennis Lynn Rader (born March 9, 1945) is an American serial killer who murdered 10 people in Sedgwick County (in and around Wichita, Kansas), between 1974 and 1991. He was known as the BTK killer (or the BTK strangler), which stands for "Bind, Torture and Kill," which describes his modus operandi. Letters were written soon after the killings to police and to local news outlets, boasting of the crimes and knowledge of details. After a long hiatus, these letters resumed in 2004, leading to his arrest in 2005 and subsequent conviction.

After 31-years, the identity of Wichita, Kansas' most notorious serial killer, known as BTK, was made public after the suspect's arrest on February 26, 2005. Dennis L. Rader, 59, of Park City, Kansas was taken into custody after having been stopped at a traffic light near his home on East Kechi Road shortly after noon that day. Even though formal charges have not yet been filed, the authorities said, "they would ask prosecutors to file 10 counts of first degree murder against Rader, including two murders in Park City that had not previously been attributed to the BTK killer," it was reported in a February 26th MSNBC article.
The question now on everyone's lips is, "Who is Dennis L. Rader?" Relatively little is know about him, especially since prosecutors are reluctant to divulge too much information, which could harm the up-coming trial. What is certain is that Rader spent most of his life in Park City.
Rader was born in 1945 and grew up in Wichita along with three brothers, all of whom graduated from Heights High School in Wichita.
Rader was in the Air Force in Viertnam from 1965 to 1969. Joseph Otero, BTK's victim, was also in the Air Force at the same time.
Rader worked in the meat department for a Park City grocery store and then as an assembler at the Coleman camping gear firm between 1971 and 1973, where he met two of his earlier victims, Mike Brunker reported in a MSNBC article.
He worked at ADT Security Services from 1974 through 1989. In 1989, he also worked for the U.S. Census bureau going door-to-door collecting information. While working in both positions, Rader had access to many area residents' homes. It is believed that he might have initially encountered some of his victims while on the job.
At some point in the 1970s, Rader married and he and his wife Paula had two children, a boy and girl. At around the same time, he attended Wichita State University and in 1979 graduated with a degree in Administration of Justice. According to Fox News, Rader "never became an officer but instead went "into code enforcement, or what one critic called "a glorified dog catcher."
In his spare time, Rader lead a Cub Scouts group and was active in his church. No one imagined he was capable of doing any harm to anybody. Many referred to him as a kind of guy who wasn't very noticeable, one who never really stood out from others. In fact, it was his ability to "blend in" that allowed him to go undetected for so many years.

(Infamous olympic athlete Kari Swenson kidnapping and murder of Alan Goldstein)

Here is an excerpt from a paper written about the case:

"On July 15, 1984, Kari Swenson was training for a biathlon near Big Sky Ski Resort in Madison County, Montana, when she was kidnapped by the Nicholses[sic]. They reportedly kidnapped Swenson with the intent of making her Dan's wife. Swenson was reported missing from Lone Mountain Guest Ranch and two men, Jim Schwalbe and Alan Goldstein, went searching for her. On the morning of July 16th, they encountered Swenson and her kidnappers. In the events that followed, Dan Nichols accidentally shot Swenson and Don Nichols fatally shot her rescuer, Goldstein. The Nicholses[sic] fled into the Spanish Peaks wilderness in the Madison Range. A four day search ensued, but they were not captured until December 1984 by Madison County Sheriff Johnny France. The Nicholses[sic] were tried separately in Virginia City by prosecutor Marc Racicot. In May 1985, Dan Nichols was sentenced to 20 years for kidnapping and misdemeanor assault. He was paroled in 1991. In September 1985, Don Nichols was sentenced to 85 years for kidnapping, murder, and aggravated assault.

The Swenson kidnapping received national media attention. It was the cover story in Time, Newsweek and other major publications. Two books have been written on the subject: Victims: The Kari Swenson Story by Janet Swenson and Incident at Big Sky by Johnny France and Malcolm McConnell. The kidnapping was also the subject of an NBC TV movie, The Abduction of Kari Swenson."

This case was also featured on A&E Television Networks "Fugitive Chronicles" series.

Note: Don Nichols was denied parole in April of 2007, and appeared before the parole board again in April of 2010. As far as I can tell, the parole board has not released a decision yet. I will try to update this as soon as I find out.

The Sunset Strip Killer

Doug considered himself the "king of the one-nights stands." He loved sex with prostitutes, especially real young ones from LA's notorious Sunset Strip. Carol, his girlfriend, was no Mother Teresa. She thought that murder was fun and liked photographing hookers sucking Doug's dick. He enjoyed shooting his victims as he came in their mouths. He also liked chopping their heads off. Once, for kicks, Carol applied make-up to a severed head and Doug took it to the shower for a little necrophiliac fellatio. Carol told an old boyfriend about Doug's strange habits. When the old boyfriend threatened to tell police, Carol stabbed him to death and chopped off his head. She then confessed and blamed Doug for everything. Doug denied it and claimed that Carol and her former lover were the killers. Strangely he also begged for the death penalty and taunted the judge whenever he could. He was sentenced to death on February 15, 1983. Carol was convicted of two killings.

Sunset Strip, Los Angeles, California became the haunt of an unlikely pair of serial killers. Together, Douglas Daniel Clark and Carol Mary Bundy prowled legendary Clark was a suave womanizer, and Bundy, five years older, was a depressed, overweight divorcee. Their six-month old relationship had descended from obsession and abuse into a lurid vortex of murder, decapitation, and necrophilia. For several weeks, Clark, sometimes with Bundy beside him, drove his blue station wagon up and down the boulevard in search of prostitutes to slay. The crimes ended only when Bundy could take it no more.
After his marriage failed, Clark took to seducing women with weight problems, boasting of his record of one night stands. Bundy was exactly his type, a nurse whose history of childhood beatings and sexual abuse had left her with low self-esteem. A 37-year old divorcee with two children, who recently had fled for safety to a battered women's shelter, Bundy quickly fell for Clark's endearments.
Swiftly, the relationship became abusive and criminal. Clark beat Bundy's children. He had other sexual partners. Ultimately he brought home women as young as eleven years old, ordering Bundy to take photographs of them. Eventually these degradations were not enough; he spoke about his fantasies of committing murder. In June, words became deeds. Clark's first victims were teenaged half-sisters, lured into his car, forced to perform sex acts, and then shot in the head. Later that month, he killed two prostitutes, in one instance decapitating twenty-year old Exxie Wilson and taking home her head to refrigerate.
As the media filled with stories about the so-called "Sunset Slayer," more corpses were discovered. However, Bundy gradually wavered, hinting at the crimes in a conversation with John Murray at a local bar. When they went to the parking lot to have sex in Murray's van, she shot and stabbed him to death. Bundy, believing police might identify her by the bullets in Murray's head, decapitated him. Two days later at work, she broke down. A fellow nurse listened to her agonized confession and called police, who found clothing belonging to victims in her home and a gun in Clark's boiler room.
At trial Clark defended himself against six counts of murder. His insubstantial defense--that Bundy and Murray were the true killers--failed, and he was sentenced to death. Bundy initially pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but her defense did not succeed, either. Subsequently confessing to slaying Murray and an unidentified woman.

Drew Peterson
Will County Adult Detention Facility
95 South Chicago Street
Joliet, Illinois 60436

Drew Peterson is a former Bolingbrook, Illinois, police sergeant who is suspected of killing his third and fourth wives. The story has received national media attention in the United States. Peterson has repeatedly denied involvement in both cases. His story came to light because of the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy on October 28, 2007. Stacy Peterson was officially reported missing in the early hours of October 29, 2007, after her sister, Cassandra Cales, failed to hear from her when expected. Drew Peterson claims that Stacy called him at 9 p.m. on Sunday to tell him that she had left him for another man and that she had left her car at Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport.

The last recorded words from Stacy Peterson were left on a voicemail on her father's answering machine on October 17 at 12:37 p.m., 11 days before she disappeared. The message said, "Hey dad! It's me, Stacy, I just wanted to call you and tell you I love you. I also wanted to give you my new phone number. OK, love you" Stacy Peterson has never been found, nor have any charges been filed against Drew regarding her dissapearance.
Current Charges:
On May 7, 2009, Peterson was indicted by the Will County Grand Jury and charged for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Their divorce was finalized on October 10, 2003. It was reported that between 2002 and 2004 police were called out to the Peterson house 18 times on domestic disturbance calls, including calls for returning children late after visitation. On March 1, 2004, Kathleen Savio's body was subsequently found in a waterless bathtub. Her death was initially ruled an accidental drowning, by a coroner's jury that included a police officer who personally knew Peterson and assured the other jurors that Peterson was 'a good man who would never hurt his wife. Following Stacy Peterson's disappearance, Savio's body was exhumed and underwent forensic examination on November 16, 2007. Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City chief medical examiner who conducted the examination at the request of Savio's relatives and Fox News, concluded that she died of drowning following a struggle when her body was placed in the bathtub. On February 21, 2008, Illinois State's Attorney James Glasgow announced that a pathologist determined that Savio's death was a homicide, adding that the death had been investigated as such, reopening the case following the exhumation.

Rev. Neil Schori, a pastor at Stacy Peterson's church, also reported that she had told him that Drew had killed Kathleen Savio and had made it look like an accident and that she was fearful of her husband. Stacy had provided Drew's alibi for his whereabouts on the evening that Kathleen Savio died.

Peterson is currently incarcerated in the Will County Jail awaiting trial for the murder of Kathleen Savio.

Note: No inmate number was available at the Will County Sheriff’s Office website so this must be the complete address.

Edmund Emil Kemper III # B52453
P.O.B. 2000
Vacaville, CA 95696

Kemper disliked how his mother treated him, and his grandmother was just as bad. They were always pushing him around and telling him what to do. According to his own statements, he harbored fantasies of killing and mutilating them. And not just them: As a child, writes psychiatrist Donald Lunde in Murder and Madness, Kemper wished that everyone else in the world would die, and he envisioned killing many of them himself. He had also indulged in tormenting cats. He'd buried one alive, then dug it up, cut off its head and stuck the head on a stick.
At 15, Kemper shot his grandmother and proceeded to stab her lifeless corpse repeatedly with a knife. He then shot his grandfather.
Kemper was sent to the Atascadero State Hospital for being criminally insane until he was 21. Once Released he picked up two girls who were hitchhiking, drove them to a secluded area where he proceeded to stab both girls to death. Taking the corpses to his mother's house he dissected them while he took pictures and cut off the girls heads. Eventually he buried the remains in the mountains near Santa Cruz.
Kemper picked her up another Fifteen-year-old girl suffocated her and had sex with her corpse. He then took her to his mothers and performed his trademark decapitation and mutilations. He eventually buried her remains but not before he kept his psychiatrist appointment, which he attended while Koo's head was resting in his trunk.
Just after the New Year Kemper shot and killed Cindy Schall, again dissecting her and having sex with her body. He discarded Schall's body into the ocean but buried her head in the yard facing his mother's bedroom window. Kemper managed to pull off another double murder on February 5, 1973, when he shot Rosalind Thorpe and Alice Lui. He didn't bother covering up their dumping very carefully and they were discovered a week later. Lui's hands had been cut off.
Kemper's hatred for his mother, Clarnell, had finally boiled over. On the night before Easter in 1973 he crept into his mother's bedroom and bludgeoned her to death with a clawhammer, decapitated her and raped her corpse. He even attempted to stuff her larynx down the garbage disposal but ironically, the disposal unit spit it back out at him. Apparently not sated, Kemper called up a friend of his mother's and invited her over for supper. Sally Hatlett unwisely accepted the offer and upon her arrival was clubbed and strangled to death. He cut Hatlett's head off, put her body in his bed, and spent the night with his mother's body in her bed.

On Easter morning her put the two women's heads in a bag in his trunk and took off, turning on the radio so he would know when the gruesome scene was discovered.

Raiford, FL 32026-4430

Eddie Lee Sexton and his wife Estella May had twelve children, all of whom were systematically sexually, physically, and mentally abused. Their children eventually told authorities about rape and sodomy, torture, animal sacrifice, and murder that went on within the family structure. Eddie Lee, patriarch of the dysfunctional family of the century, even had the distinction of being the father and the grandfather of several children bore by his biological daughters.
After eluding authorities for over a year in the mid-nineties, Eddie Lee and Estella May were finally apprehended. Eddie Lee received the death penalty, which was eventually overturned. Estella May’s sentencing was a farce; she only spent a few months in prison.
One of their daughters, Pixie, married a slightly retarded boy named Joey. Pixie had already given birth to two daughters courtesy of her father when she hooked up with Joey in high school. It was the worse mistake Joey would ever make. The Sexton clan routinely beat him for the sheer enjoyment of it, and he eventually paid with his life when he was murdered and buried in a shallow grave near a campground. But he wasn’t there by himself. His biological son with Pixie had already been suffocated to death and buried in the same campground.
Eddie Lee ruled his family with an iron fist. He had a saying—“You get the belt until you’re 13 and after that you get the fist.” The children could do nothing without his permission, and each child was raped or sodomized by him numerous times while they were growing up. Their mother provided no protection; in fact, several of the children subsequently reported that she performed oral sex on them.
Eddie Lee was also a con man. He spent time in prison for robbery in the 1960s, he claimed to have been enlisted in the armed forces, and he lied about various phantom ailments to get disability checks. His most outlandish con was that he was a member of the Futuretrons, a group of aliens who all looked alike. The Futuretrons supposedly had special powers, and Eddie Lee believed that one of his daughters Lana also had this “gift.”
Eddie Lee’s deranged mind seemed to really have no genesis. It’s almost as if he just became an incest-committing freak without rhyme or reason. His wife’s compliance and willing participation are also unexplained.

Edgar Ray "Preacher" Killen (born 17 January 1925) is an American former Ku Klux Klan organizer who conspired to kill three civil rights activists (Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner) in 1964.
He was found guilty of three counts of manslaughter on June 21, 2005, the forty-first anniversary of the crime. He appealed the verdict, but his punishment of 3 times 20 years in prison was upheld on January 12, 2007 by the Mississippi Supreme Court.
Biography
Killen was a sawmill operator and part-time Baptist minister and also a kleagle, or klavern recruiter and organizer, for the Neshoba and Lauderdale County chapters of the Ku Klux Klan.
[edit] Murders
During the "Freedom Summer" of 1964, two Jewish New Yorkers, Andrew Goodman, 20, and Michael Schwerner, 24, and one black Mississippian, James Chaney, 21, were murdered in Philadelphia, Mississippi. The Ku Klux Klan organizer Edgar Ray Killen, along with Cecil Price (then deputy sheriff of Neshoba County), had gathered a group of men who hunted down and killed the three civil rights workers. The Mississippi Civil Rights Workers Murders galvanized the nation and helped bring about the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The killings are the basis of the 1988 movie Mississippi Burning.
At the time of the killings, the state of Mississippi made little effort to prosecute the perpetrators. The FBI, under the pro-civil-rights President Lyndon Johnson and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, directed a vigorous investigation. Federal prosecutor John Doar, circumventing dismissals by federal judges, opened a grand jury in December 1964. Solicitor General Thurgood Marshall appeared before the Supreme Court to defend the federal government's authority in bringing charges in November 1965. Eighteen men, including Killen, were arrested and charged with conspiracy to violate the victims' civil rights[1] in U.S. v. Cecil Price et. al..
The 1967 trial in federal court before an all-white jury[2] convicted seven conspirators and acquitted eight others. For three men, including Killen, the trial ended in a hung jury, after the jurors deadlocked 11-1 in favor of conviction. The lone holdout saying she could never convict a preacher. The prosecution decided not to retry Killen and he was set free. None of the men found guilty served more than six years.
Journalist Jerry Mitchell, an award-winning investigative reporter for the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, had written extensively about the case for many years. Mitchell had already earned fame for helping secure convictions in several other high profile Civil Rights Era murder cases, including the assassination of Medgar Evers, the Birmingham Church Bombing, and the murder of Vernon Dahmer. For the murders of the civil rights workers, Mitchell developed new evidence, found new witnesses, and pressured the State to take action. Working with Mitchell were high school teacher Barry Bradford and a team of three students from Illinois.[3]
They got Killen to do his only taped interview (to that point) talking about the crime. That tape showed Killen clinging to his segregationist views and clearly competent and aware. The students uncovered potential new witnesses, created a web site, lobbied Congress, and focused national media attention on the reopening of the case. Ben Chaney called them "Superhero Girls".

In 2004, Killen declared that he would attend a petition-drive in his behalf, scheduled by the Nationalist Movement at the 2004 Mississippi Annual State Fair in Jackson, Mississippi. It opposed Communism, integration and non-speedy trials. The Hinds County sheriff, Malcolm MacMillan, conducted a counter-petition, calling for re-opening of the case against Killen. Killen was arrested for three counts of murder on January 6, 2005. He was freed on bond shortly thereafter. His case drew comparisons to that of Byron De La Beckwith, who was charged with the killing of Medgar Evers in 1963 and arrested in 1994.

Killen's trial was scheduled for April 18, 2005. It was deferred, however, after the 80-year-old Killen broke both of his legs chopping down lumber in his rural home in Neshoba County. The trial began on June 13, 2005, with Killen attending in a wheelchair. He was found guilty on June 21, 2005 of manslaughter, 41 years to the day after his crime. The jury of nine whites and three blacks rejected the charges of murder but found him guilty of recruiting the mob that carried out the killings. He was sentenced on June 23, 2005 by Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon to the maximum sentence of 60 years in prison, 20 years for each manslaughter, to be served consecutively. He will be eligible for parole after serving at least 20 years, although it is almost impossible he will live this long given his age and health.

Elton Jackson 264263
Sussex II State Prison
24427 Musselwhite Drive
Waverly, VA 23891-1111

12 +/-) Since the mid-eighties a number of homosexual men have abducted in and around the Norfolk area and their bodies dumped in the Chesapeake/Portsmouth areas. Chesapeake. Ten were strangled; the others were too decomposed to determine how they died. All but one were found nude. Many of the victims were gay, nearly all were drifters or transients and some were hustlers. Nearly all were last seen in or near gay bars in Norfolk or Portsmouth.
On March 5, 1998, Chesapeake Police Chief Richard A. Justice named Elton M. Jackson as the suspect in all 12 homicides by the "Hampton Roads Killer". Jackson, 41, was arrested in May, 1997. Jackson has only been charged with the July 1996 strangulation of Andrew "Andre" D. Smith in a case that court documents say is the most recent of the serial killings. Smith's body was found on the shoulder of a dead-end road in the Deep Creek section of Chesapeake. Court documents confirm that DNA testing showed that Jackson and Smith had sex hours before Smith's death.
The Chesapeake Police Department was the lead agency in the serial killer investigation until September, 1997, when the case was moved to Portsmouth based on evidence that the Smith killing apparently occurred in Jackson's Portsmouth home. Authorities never before named Jackson as the serial killer suspect, but also never ruled him out. FBI documents showed that a year ago the Feds believed Jackson was their killer and that they had suspected him previously. A letter to the FBI lab in August 1996 called Jackson the "best suspect in its nine years of investigation."
Andrew Smith's body was the last to be discovered. There have been no other similar slayings since Jackson's arrest in May 1997. Court documents indicate Jackson had contact with some of the other victims and the blood of one, Reginald Joyner, was found in Jackson's bed along with the blood of Smith. On August 21, 1998 a jury found Jackson guilty of the murder of Smith. "We're disappointed in the verdict, and he still maintains his innocence," said Jackson's attorney, Pamela Hampton.
A man suspected in the killings of a dozen men was convicted today in one of the deaths.
Jurors deliberated for nearly five hours on Thursday and this morning before finding Elton M. Jackson guilty of killing Andrew D. Smith in 1996. Officials said Mr. Jackson had had sex with Mr. Smith, strangled him and dumped his nude body on a dirt road near Chesapeake.
The jury deliberated about 20 minutes more before recommending the maximum term, life in prison. Judge James A. Cales Jr. of Circuit Court scheduled sentencing for Oct. 27.
Mr. Jackson was charged only in Mr. Smith's killing, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation considered him a suspect in 11 other killings in the Hampton Roads region since 1987, according to court documents. Most of the victims were homosexual or had ties to homosexual men, and most of them were strangled.

Judge sets bond at $4 million for suspected serial killer

By John Christoffersen, Associated Press Writer | February 16, 2007
Emanuel Lovell Webb, A construction worker was extradited from Georgia to face charges he strangled four women in Bridgeport in the early 1990s.
The gruesome crimes sparked fears of a serial killer on the loose in Connecticut's largest city. They went unsolved until 2006, when detectives said they linked Emanuel Lovell Webb to the killings with DNA, including a match from a cigarette butt found at one of the crime scenes.

Webb, a former Bridgeport resident, was already in custody in a Georgia jail when he was charged last in 2006 with strangling a 34-year-old woman in 1993. Detectives said they also used DNA to link him to the deaths 3 other women ages 39, 37, 29.
The four women were among more than a dozen killed in Bridgeport in the late 1980s and early 1990s, prompting authorities to create a task force to investigate similarities in the crimes.
Detectives looked into whether Webb might have been involved in up to six other homicides, but Bridgeport State's Attorney Jonathan Benedict said he does not expect Webb to be charged with additional killings.
Webb is not charged with capital felony, which would make him eligible for the death penalty. That charge applies when there are additional elements to a killing, such as rape or kidnapping, Benedict said.
The four women Webb is charged with killing, described by authorities as cocaine or crack cocaine abusers, were found dead in the east end of Bridgeport near where he lived at the time, police said. Three of the women were mutilated or disfigured, including one who suffered stab wounds to the neck, chest, forehead and stomach, police said.
Each of the crimes had a sexual aspect.
Webb frequented the same clubs as the victims, police said. One witness described him as a loner who sold fake drugs and acted strangely.
Police said a match later turned up for Webb, who was being held in jail in Georgia for violating his parole for the death of a young woman in 1994 during supposed "wild sex."
Detectives also determined that Webb was treated at Bridgeport Hospital for a cut to his finger in 1993, around the time Gandy was killed. Police believe he was injured during the killing, according to his arrest affidavit.

Eric Daniels was a participant in the prison murder of Lonnie Blackmon along with Troy Kell. Eric is the person in the video that is holding Blackmon down while Kell stabbed him. Eric had his first stay in prison at Ft. Leavenworth. From here I will let excerpts from Eric’s own words tell the rest of his story.
This is an excerpt of Eric’s own story on a Ministry website:
“I was court-martialed and sent to Ft. Leavenworth to serve 25 months. While in prison, I began to read racial literature; and by the time I was released, I was well-versed. My attitude and developing prejudices caused me problems, and I was placed in the "hole" for fighting. I lost my good time and "maxed" out of the hole, (which means I served the maximum sentence).
I had no idea where I would go or what I would do upon release. I only knew that I had to play catch-up for the 2 years I was locked up. Within a month I was in jail again, this time in Utah. I was arrested for forgery after cashing bad checks to support my cocaine habit. Back in prison I had a serious attitude with all authority. So in 1993 when a riot kicked off in my housing unit, I was more than willing to participate and took a ringleader role. This behavior landed me in super-max, a control unit for major management problems. I spent the next 5 years there, 2 of which I lived on death-row. Then in 1994, I reached a level of depravity unknown to me previously. Romans 3:15-17 reads, "Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known." This was me, and when it was all over a man had been stabbed to death. Facing the death sentence for a racially motivated crime did not deter me from continuing in my ways.
In 1996, my co-defendant went to trial and received death by firing squad. In 1997, my case proceeded to trial and I secretly hoped for the same end. Under the threat of a physical death sentence, I didn’t realize that I also faced a spiritual one as well. I was convicted of aggravated murder, however, the jury could not reach a unanimous decision on death and sentenced me to life without the possibility of parole.”

(Infamous murder of his parents. First trial was televised live on Court TV [TruTV] )

(See also Lyle Menendez)

Erik and his brother Lyle (aka Joseph) were convicted in a highly publicized trial for the 1989 shotgun murders in of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, wealthy residents of Beverly Hills, California.

The murders occurred on August 20, 1989, in the den of the family's home in Beverly Hills. At around 10pm the neighbors reported hearing what sounded like firecrackers, but dismissed it as nothing to be concerned about. Jose was shot pointblank in the back of the head with a Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun. Kitty, awakened by the shots, sprang from the couch and made a run for the hallway but was shot in the leg, causing it to break. She then slipped in her own blood that had run down her leg; and, when she fell, she was then shot several times in the arm, chest, and face, leaving her unrecognizable. They were then both shot in the kneecap to make the crime appear mob related. The brothers then drove off and dumped their shotguns on Mulholland Drive and bought tickets at a local movie theater, seeing the movie Batman to use as an alibi. Then at 11:47 pm when the brothers returned home, Lyle called 911 and cried, "Somebody killed my parents!" Initially, the police did not consider the brothers as suspects.

In the months following the murders, the brothers led a life of luxury and lavish spending, later adding to investigators' suspicions that they had been involved in their parents' deaths. Lyle bought an expensive Rolex watch, a Porsche Carrera, and Chuck's Spring Street Cafe, a Buffalo Wings restaurant. Erik also hired a full-time tennis coach and competed in a tournament in Israel. They left the Beverly Hills mansion unoccupied and lived in 2 separate penthouse apartments in Marina Del Rey. They drove around LA in their late mother's Mercedes-Benz SL convertible, ate costly lunches and dinners, and went on overseas trips to the Caribbean and London. Prosecutors later alleged that the brothers spent about $1 million in their first six months as orphans. The police did not suspect them until Erik confessed to his psychiatrist, who, after Lyle threatened him, told the police. On December 8, 1992, the Menendez brothers were indicted by the Los Angeles County Grand Jury on charges that they had murdered their parents.

The Menendez brothers and the murder of their parents became a national sensation when Court TV broadcast the trial in 1993. The initial trial ended in two deadlocked juries (while the brothers were tried together, each had a separate jury). Los Angeles District Attorney Gil Garcetti immediately announced the brothers would be retried.

The second trial was somewhat less publicized, in part because Judge Stanley Weisberg refused to allow cameras in the courtroom. Both brothers were subsequently convicted of two counts of first degree murder, plus conspiracy to commit murder. In the penalty phase of the trial, the jury did not support death sentences for the brothers but instead returned recommendations of life in prison.

On July 2, 1996, Weisberg sentenced Lyle and Erik Menendez to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Judge Weisberg sentenced the brothers to consecutive sentences for the murders and the charge of conspiracy to commit murder. On September 10, 1996, the California Department of Corrections separated the Menendez brothers, sending them to different prisons.

The jury deliberated for about two hours before deciding on the death sentence for Nunnery. Jurors had heard testimony from relatives, friends and experts pleading that Nunnery's life be spared.
The strain of the case wore on several in the courtroom.
One of Nunnery's three attorneys wept after Nunnery declared he would continue his life of crime if authorities released him from custody.
Another of his attorneys, Patricia Palm, periodically cried as she gave her closing arguments. She said Nunnery's lack of sympathy for the victims was his attempt to be seen as a "man in control."
"There is goodness in there somewhere," she said.
A jury last week convicted Nunnery of murder and other charges in the slaying of Saul Nunez Saustegui, who was shot execution-style during a robbery on Sept. 22, 2006, that netted $3. Nunnery is facing murder charges in two more cases.
Authorities said Nunnery and three other men went on a month long crime spree targeting Hispanics and others in slayings, home invasions and robberies. Nunnery is accused of killing two Hispanic men during robberies and of shooting a third man in a drug deal.
County prosecutor David Stanton said Nunnery killed or tried to kill 11 people. "The extent of damage done by the defendant is massive," he said.
The defense team spent the week showing a different side of Nunnery.
Nunnery's mother, a prostitute, died when he was young, and his father abandoned him and his two younger siblings.
For years, Nunnery and his family believed their mother was raped and killed, possibly by the Hillside Strangler, the name given to two serial killers who raped and killed women in Los Angeles in the 1970s. The family later learned she died from drinking.
Nunnery helped raise his siblings and at times stole food to have something for them to eat. His sister, Dana Nunnery, 26, recalled that they sometimes ate sandwiches made of maple syrup and bread because they had nothing else to eat.
The state took custody of the children, and Eugene Nunnery passed through more than a dozen foster homes. He had learning disabilities, and a doctor testified that Nunnery suffered from brain damage because of fetal alcohol syndrome.

Pedrinhas Detention Center

Maranhăo State
Brazil
A man accused of being Brazil's most prolific serial killer was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison in the first of 42 possible trials for the slaying and mutilation of boys.
Francisco das Chagas Rodrigues de Brito, a 41-year-old bicycle mechanic, was given 19 years for homicide and 1 year and eight months for hiding the body of the 15-year-old victim, the court said in statement.
Chagas now faces trial for 41 other murders committed between 1991 and 2003 in Maranahao and the neighboring Amazon state of Para. Prosecutors say several victims were castrated. No date has been set for the next trials.
Prosecutors, who say Chagas killed 42 boys, charged him with Vieira's murder first because it was the case in which they had the most evidence, Collis said. If convicted by the jury of four men and three women, he could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison for aggravated homicide. No date has been set for future prosecutions.

Chagas repeatedly has confessed and then retracted his confession to the killings of 30 boys in Maranhao state and 12 others in neighboring Para state between 1991 and 2003.

The murders stirred terror in the two states, where many speculated the victims had been killed in black magic rituals because most of the victims had been castrated.
Local human rights groups had long charged local police were not doing enough to solve the crimes because most of the victims were poor.
Several other people have been convicted in connection with some of the killings.
In 2003, four members of an alleged satanic group were convicted in Para state in connection with some of the same murders. The group's leader, however, was acquitted amid charges of jury rigging.
It was not immediately clear whether those convicted had since been released.
If convicted of all murders, Chagas would be Brazil's most prolific serial killer. To date the worst known serial killer is Marcelo Costa de Andrade, known as the Niteroi Vampire, who was convicted in 1991 of killing 14 children in a city near Rio de Janeiro.

Homeless killer gets two life sentences A Nashville man who confessed to police to murdering two homeless persons, but who later pled not guilty to the crimes, yesterday formally entered a plea of guilt to avoid going to trial. After agreeing to plead guilty, Garland Milam, who in 2005 was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, was immediately sentenced to two consecutive life sentences by Criminal Court Judge Cheryl Blackburn. Milam had admitted to killing Timothy McCoy and Johnny Davis at a homeless camp area off Bell Forge Lane East, and to burning McCoy’s body to cover it up. He also told authorities that he was driven to the murders after he got addicted to sucking the souls out of people

NASHVILLE - Police say a man who has called himself "a monster" has confessed to slayings across the country.
Garland Milam, 40, already is charged with killing two homeless men in Nashville.
Investigators won't say how many slayings Milam has confessed to elsewhere, but police agencies from Texas, Arizona and possibly Ohio are coming to Nashville to interview him.
"We do believe that he's been involved in other murders in other states," police Lt. Pat Taylor told WSMV-TV.
Nashville investigators interviewed Milam over several days after the Nashville slayings last month, and during those interrogations, they say, he confessed to crimes elsewhere.
"He may have some mental issues, but his statements right now make us believe we have to take him seriously," Taylor said.
Milam has told Nashville police he has lived all over the United States.
Investigators have sent word about Milam to police agencies across the country. Although police won't discuss specifics about what Milam has said, they do say his victims may not be just homeless people.
In Nashville, Milam confessed in July to strangling two homeless men.
"I know I'm a monster," he told reporters at the time. "I got addicted to sucking the souls out of people that I was killing, and I'm going to do it again if I don't get the death penalty."
Milam lived in the woods about 300 yards behind a strip mall on the southeast side of town. He walked into a grocery store July 26 and told an employee he wanted to confess to a murder.
Milam then led police to a body down an embankment in the wooded area. He said the 48-year-old victim had been a visitor to his camp.
He killed the man with a dog leash, according to court testimony last week.
Police said that during questioning, Milam also confessed to killing another man early July 24 who had set up camp in the same area. Milam told authorities he and the man had argued and that he had strangled the victim and then set fire to the man and his tent.
Police say he admitted to killing that man with a money belt.
Milam is charged with two counts of aggravated homicide and is in jail on a $700,000 bond. The slayings came after arguments over food and money, police said.
Milam's hometown is unknown, but he told police he had been arrested for petty crimes and served jail time in Florida.

Raiford, FL 32026-4000
updated 11/11/09

Gary admitted to the authorities that that he was responsible for the murder of two men in Florida, John Roberts and Albert Morris. The FBI had already been involved with both murder investigations, in which Gary was already a suspect. They were also involved with three other similar murder cases, in which Gary was also the leading suspect. It wasn't long before investigators were able to piece together the clues that eventually led to their realization of the atrocities committed by Gary Ray Bowles.
On April 14, 1994, Daytona police arrived at the residence of 59-year-old John Hardy Roberts, who had been brutally murdered. Roberts' badly beaten body was discovered on his living room floor. He had been strangled and a rag was found stuffed into his mouth. His head also showed signs of severe trauma and his one of his fingers was almost severed from his hand.
Judging by the disarray of the room, it appeared as if a violent struggle had taken place prior to Roberts' death. Blood was splattered everywhere. The coffee table and a glass lamp lay shattered in pieces about the floor. Moreover, the victim's car and a wallet with cash and credit cards were missing.
During the investigation, the authorities found a great deal of evidence linking the murder to a potential suspect. All the evidence discovered at the crime scene pointed towards Gary Ray Bowles as the killer. Gary's fingerprints and probation papers were found at the scene and phone records revealed that Gary made numerous phone calls to his family from Roberts' home. According to the authorities, Gary tried to use the deceased man's credit cards.

Gary later told investigators during his confession that Roberts offered Gary the opportunity to live with him temporarily at his home. Although the details of the relationship are unclear, it is believed Gary engaged in homosexual activity for a profit with Roberts. Several weeks into his stay, the two had a dispute over a woman and Gary was asked to leave. Blinded by rage, Gary attacked Roberts with a glass lamp, repeatedly beating him on the head. In Roberts' attempt to escape, he fell onto the coffee table where he was asphyxiated by Gary. Gary then stole his car and wallet and fled the scene.
A manhunt for Gary quickly ensued. Although the authorities were able to recover Roberts' car in Georgia, Gary was nowhere to be found. Eventually, Gary's trail led investigators to suburban Maryland where another similar murder had taken place.
On April 14, 1994, a maintenance man discovered the decomposing remains of 38-year-old David Jarman in the basement of his Silver Spring home. Like Roberts, Jarman had been badly beaten before having his mouth stuffed with a rag and being strangled to death. The victim's car and wallet were missing.
According to Todd Simmons, Jarman was seen the night before his death at a gay bar in Washington, D.C., with a man who matched Gary's description. Todd Simmons further stated that Jarman's credit cards had been used and the signature on the receipt matched that of Gary's. Gary was eventually charged for the murder, yet his whereabouts continued to elude authorities. Several weeks later, Gary's trail led investigators further south to Savannah, Georgia.
The decomposing remains of 72-year old Milton Bradley were discovered May 5 behind a shed at a golf club. A medical examination later determined that Bradley had been savagely beaten before being strangled. Like Roberts and Jarman, the victim's mouth was stuffed with material before he was asphyxiated.
The murder shocked the small city because Bradley had been a well-known citizen and a recognized World War II veteran. According to Bob Morris of the Savannah Morning News, Bradley was a "quiet and gentle man" who was generous almost to a fault. Morris stated that he had suffered a severe head injury during the war, which later resulted in his having to receive a lobotomy. The procedure caused slight mental impairment, which undoubtedly made him more vulnerable prey to unsavory characters, such as Gary Bowles.
During an investigation of the scene, police officer John Best discovered a palm print that was later matched with Gary's. Furthermore, Bradley had been seen in the company of a man matching Gary's description several times in the days leading up to his murder. There was little doubt that Gary had been involved in the killing.
In July, the popular television program America's Most Wanted filmed a segment about the crimes Gary was believed to have committed. Following its airing, the show received numerous responses from viewers, who claimed to have had information about his whereabouts. Gary was eventually charged with the murder of Bradley, yet he continued to elude the FBI and state authorities.
That same month, another murder occurred that once again bore striking similarities to the other slayings. On May 19, the body of 37-year-old Albert Morris was discovered in his trailer in Nassau County, Florida. He had been beaten about the head with a blunt object, shot in the chest and strangled. Morris also had a towel stuffed in his mouth and tied about his head. His car and wallet with credit cards was missing from the scene.
Once again, Gary became the leading suspect in the murder case. It is believed that Gary hustled himself off to Morris, whom he met at a gay bar in Jacksonville. Shortly after their meeting, Gary was invited to stay with Morris at his trailer outside of Hilliard, Florida. Simmons stated in his article that Gary lived with Morris for approximately two weeks prior to his death. On the night before his body was discovered, the two men were seen arguing at a bar before being thrown out.
Based on the evidence at the crime scene Gary was charged once again for murder, although he was nowhere to be found.
The FBI, who had long been involved in the investigation, suspected that he was involved in yet another murder. That May, 47-year-old Alverson Carter Jr.'s body was discovered at his Atlanta residence. The murder scene resembled that of the other crimes attributed to Gary, bearing the same MO. Forensic evidence linked him to the crime, for which he was later charged.
Carter was believed to have been Gary's fifth victim. Gary was charged with no other murders until his arrest for the slaying of Jay Hinton. According to Wakefield, Gary later confessed to the murders of Roberts, Morris, Carter, Jarman and Bradley. Following extensive interrogations by the FBI and state authorities, Gary was placed in a Duval County jail to await sentencing for his last known crime.

By Jay Lindsay
Associated Press
BOSTON — The state's highest court yesterday denied an appeal in the 1967 murder conviction of George Nassar, a remorseless killer who some believe is the real Boston Strangler.
Nassar's appeal before the Supreme Judicial Court came after his case lay dormant for more than 20 years. During that time, Nassar was implicated by various people close to the case as the real Boston Strangler, who killed 13 women between 1962 and early 1964.
He has denied he had anything to do with the deaths, and his attorney, Claudia Bolgen, repeated the denial yesterday.
Nassar, now 75, was 15 when he killed a Lawrence store clerk in 1948. He was paroled in 1961, then charged in October 1964 with shooting an Andover gas station attendant to death as the man begged for mercy.
Nassar's case before the state's highest court concerned a motion he filed to indicate an intention to appeal the 1982 denial of a new trial in the second killing. But he never acted, and the matter was dismissed in November 1983.
In 2006, Nassar, who is serving a life sentence and is known for an extraordinarily high IQ, argued in court filings that he couldn't make his case because he was in federal prison in Leavenworth, Kansas, without access to Massachusetts legal materials.
The court noted yesterday that Nassar was back in Massachusetts in December 1983 and didn't inquire about the case then or for more than two decades after.
Bolgen said she was disappointed in the decision, but said Nassar had a pending motion for a new trial in Essex County that she was confident would be granted.
The motion claims the judge gave erroneous jury instructions, including one involving a witness photo identification, and questions whether Nassar was advised of his right to testify, Bolgen said.
Bolgen said she could not comment on why there was such a gap in litigation in the case, but said Nassar is innocent of the 1964 killing.
"We're hoping for justice, that's all I can say, even after this late date," she said.
While in jail, Nassar befriended Albert DeSalvo, who had been arrested for sexual assault in November 1964. The next year, Nassar told his attorney, F. Lee Bailey, that DeSalvo, another client of Bailey's, was the Boston Strangler.
DeSalvo then confessed in remarkable detail to Bailey, who told the story in court in hopes of convincing the jury considering the sexual assault charges that DeSalvo was insane. It didn't work, and DeSalvo was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
DeSalvo later recanted his confession and was killed in prison in 1973. In 2001, forensic scientists announced that DNA evidence taken from the body of the strangler's final victim didn't match DeSalvo's.
Ames Robey, a former prison psychologist who analyzed both DeSalvo and Nassar, has said Nassar was a misogynistic, psychopathic killer who was a far more likely suspect than DeSalvo. Some followers of the case said Nassar was the real strangler and fed DeSalvo details of the murders so he could confess and gain notoriety.
In a 1999 interview with The Boston Globe, Nassar denied involvement in the strangler murders, but said the speculation killed any chance he had for parole.
"I had nothing to do with it," he said. "I'm convicted under the table, behind the scenes."

Like many Serial killers George Putt was Physically and emotionally abused as a child. His father was a drifter and a drunk who enjoyed beating his seven children with regularity. At three months old George had been severely beaten with a leather strap. And Like many killers George had been arrested several times for acts of violence against women and other assorted crimes before he was eighteen. Georgealso sustained a head injury and was knocked out for several minutes and may have sustained permanent brain damage. After his accident, George started sleepwalking with his eyes open, and having alternately blackouts and violent seizures. Richmond police arrested George for attacking two young girls, one of whom was stripped naked and forced to suck his penis. Arrested at his grandparents' home, he was delivered to juvenile authorities. Psychological tests revealed Putt's "morbid preoccupation with blood and gore," a fact that led authorities to consider placing George in a mental institution. Terrified by the prospect, he fled from custody one night, clad only in his undershorts, teaming up with brother Clifford for several days before he was recaptured. Diagnosed as a "sociopathic personality," created by "almost unbelievable physical and emotional deprivation," Putt was ruled fit for trial on a sodomy charge. He escaped from custody again, on December 22, 1961; two weeks later, he abducted a 30-year-old Richmond woman at knifepoint, robbed her of $35, and raped her.
In public, he erupted into violent fits of jealousy whenever his wife spoke to another man, including co-workers, and by 1968 his violence was not confined to his marriage. On October 16, 1968, police in Memphis, Tennessee, arrested Putt after he forced his way into a black woman's car and began beating her with his fists. Settling in Jackson, Mississippi, with his brother Clifford and their wives, Putt tried to rape his mother -in-law on three separate occasions in early 1969. He continued demonstrating his "sociopathic personality" throughout the sixties. Psychology test revealed a "morbid preoccupation with blood and gore" as he continued with his career as a violent criminal.
He first brutally murdered a couple in 1969. He tied the woman to the bed, raped her and mutilated her vagina and anus with a pair of surgical scissors. A week and a half later he beat to death an 80-year-old widow and mutilated her genitalia with a butcher knife. Four days later third woman was bound and brutally stabbed fourteen times. He attacked his fifth victim in her home .. Neighbors heard her screams and called the police. After a wild chase through the streets of Memphis George was caught trying to escape all smeared in blood. He was found guilty of all his crimes and given the death penalty. When the Supreme Court struck down the death penalty, George was handed a 497-year sentence. George chuckled when the judge read him the sentence.

(Death toll 4)
Gerald Patrick Lewis, who is jailed in Alabama on suspicion of killing four women, told the Mobile Register that he was responsible for a killing spree lasting more than a decade, including killing one near a gravel pit in Brockton. "It feels good to talk about it," he said. "I've been walking around with this stuff for years. I'm already in big trouble. I've got nothing to hide."
Police in Atlanta have said they are also searching their records for possible matches to Lewis' account of killing two women in the area in the early 1990s. "We are continuing our investigation into other unsolved homicide files throughout the city and county of Mobile, and Baldwin County authorities are also reviewing their files." Within the last nine months, two women who were prostitutes and drug users, and a man dressed as a woman, have been killed in Mobile.Police said they would not be surprised if Lewis had, in fact, killed other women around the country. During police interrogations of Lewis, he often seemed to have something more he wanted to talk about.
Lewis' self-described killing spree, which he said lasted more than a decade, ended April 14, three days after Kathleen Bracken was found slaughtered at the Twilite Motel.
The 32-year-old woman, originally from Swampscott, Mass., was raped and stabbed to death in a room at the motel on Government Boulevard. Police tracked down Lewis to his mother's Daphne home, in the Lake Forest subdivision.
During questioning, detectives said he spilled "explicit" information about killing Ms. Bracken, two women in Georgia, and 22-year-old Misty McGugin of Chickasaw. Miss McGugin's car was found abandoned at Drifters lounge on the Causeway Feb. 1. in Baldwin County.
He led police to Baldwin County Road 66, just east of Daphne, where he said he left Miss McGugin's remains. Police bundled up the body they found in a soft spot on the ground there, and turned it over to the state medical examiners, who confirmed Miss McGugin was the victim.
Lewis also told investigators that he tried to abduct a teen-age girl from the parking lot of the Wal-Mart Super Center off U.S. 98 in Daphne about a month before he was arrested. The story matched an account that the girl told to police.

(alleged serial killer)

On May 2, 1996, Clepper was charged with strangling eight women. His last victim was found stuffed in the closet of his bedroom. Police said Gregory was waiting for his mother to help him dispose of the body. Clepper, 28, a resident of Chicago's South Side, preyed on drug-addicted prostitutes who he killed after they objected to his refusal to pay for sex.

Clepper, a classic sexual predator, told detectives when he was arrested at a relative's house, "I knew it was just a matter of time. I'm glad it's over." An acquaintance turned him in after he had boasted about one of the slayings. The killings began in 1991. Some of the victims were dumped in garbage bins around Chicago's South Side. The most recent corpse, Patricia Scott, 30, was found April 24 in a trash container behind Calumet High School. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled. Clepper apparently killed Scott a day earlier at the home he shared with his mother, Gladys Clepper, who along with a friend was charged with helping dispose of the body.

Clepper's mother was charged with one count of concealing a homicide. Eric Henderson, 30, was charged with two counts of concealing a homicide. Apparently Eric witnessed the murder of an earlier victim and helped dispose of her body too.

On March 21, 2001, in a plea agreement Clepper, who once bragged about being Chicago's most prolific serial killers, was sentenced to 80 years in prison for one murder. Prosecutors dropped 12 murder charges against him in exchange for admitting to killing Patricia Scott. Scott, 30, had been sexually assaulted, strangled and stuffed into a garbage can in April 1996.

In the other cases dropped, new evidence either excluded Clepper as a suspect or pointed to other suspects. Assistant State's Attorney William O'Brien said Clepper remains a suspect in 15 other murders for which he hasn't been charged. DNA samples from those murders are being examined. The plea agreement allows prosecutors to file new charges against Clepper in the 12 cases that were dropped if DNA tests implicate him. Also Clepper will not be eligible for the death penalty for any future cases against him.

Helen Golay
Century Station Jail
11703 Alameda St.
Lynwood, CA 90262

Helen Golay Was found guilty of killing two homeless men to cash in on life insurance. Her co-defendant, Olga Rutterschmidt, is convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and still faces murder charges.
Helen Golay, who was convicted of murder, and Olga Rutterschmidt, found guilty on the conspiracy charge. Both women were accused of plucking Kenneth McDavid and Paul Vados off the streets, putting them up in apartments for two years while the deadline for insurance companies to contest claims ran out, and then having them run over in dark alleys.
From the start, the defendants’ advanced age kept the case in headlines, drawing comparisons to the film “Arsenic and Old Lace.” The killings came to be known as the “Black Widow” murders.
Experts said there was no point in seeking the death penalty against them because they would probably die in prison during the lengthy appeal process. A plea bargain was also out; any prison term would be a life sentence for the women.
Prosecutors said Golay, a former Santa Monica real estate agent, and the Hungarian-born Rutterschmidt, a longtime Hollywood resident who once owned a coffee shop with her late husband, targeted the most vulnerable people in society because their deaths would not raise a stir.
Golay and Rutterschmidt had known each other for at least 20 years before their arrests, police and others say. They allegedly were partners in a number of bogus lawsuits and petty crimes before embarking on the murder scheme, authorities say.
No witnesses to either killing came forward, and details about the killings were scant, leaving prosecutors to build a painstaking case based on fragments of testimony and a long paper trail of insurance documents and rent checks.
The death of Vados, 73, in 1999 was particularly mysterious. The crime scene was washed clean in a downpour, and traffic investigators set the killing aside as an unsolved hit-and-run.
Six years later, however, three surveillance cameras caught a silver station wagon turning into a Westwood alley on the night that McDavid, 50, was found dead there. Both men were crushed to death, their bodies twisted, and police said the scenes were free of the skid marks and broken glass typically left in the wake of a hit-and-run.Someone using Golay’s auto club membership called for a tow for the station wagon around the time that McDavid was killed, according to testimony. After the women came under suspicion, authorities tracked the vehicle down, and found McDavid’s DNA on the undercarriage.
Prosecutors said the similarities between the two deaths were too uncanny for mere coincidence. The Los Angeles Police Department concluded that the murders were connected after McDavid’s death when two investigators bumped into each other, compared notes and realized the same pair of odd women had claimed the bodies.
Vados and McDavid were insured for millions by Golay and Rutterschmidt, who claimed to be the cousin and fiance of the deceased.
Jurors also heard damaging statements from the defendants themselves, even though neither took the stand. A conversation at Los Angeles police headquarters immediately after their May 2006 arrests on fraud charges was secretly videotaped, and the recording was played for the jury.
On the 30-minute tape, an animated Rutterschmidt angrily bangs on a table, shakes her finger and accuses Golay of inviting scrutiny by greedily piling on numerous insurance policies.
“…You did all these insurances extra. That’s what raised the suspicion. You can’t do that. Stupidity,” Rutterschmidt tells Golay, who repeatedly admonishes her in a calm voice to be quiet.
“No, you’re going to go to jail, honey. They going to lock you up,” says Rutterschmidt, in a thick accent.
On the recording, the women never mention murder, although they had been notified that they were under investigation for the deaths. Prosecutors argued an innocent person would have expressed shock at the murder allegations.
But Deputy Public Defender Michael Sklar, Rutterschmidt’s attorney, said the conversation showed that his client did not know about the killings. He said Golay kept his simple-minded client in the dark about the murder plot.

This acid-dropping, pot-smoking flower child was voted "Most Likely to Succeed" by his high school class. After a stint in a mental institution he started hearing voices that told him to do strange things, like burn his dick with a cigarette. Then the voices started coming from strangers asking him to put them out of their misery. Herb was happy to comply. After thirteen acts of mercy police arrested him. Herb believed that the deaths during the Vietnam war worked as sacrifices that kept California from sliding into the ocean during a cataclysmic earthquake. With the end of the war, Herb was telepathically told by his father to continue with the human sacrifice to save California from the big one. And, of course, Herb did as he was told.
On December 29, 2001, Mullinwas denied parole for the ninth time. Mullin was convicted of stabbing a priest in his confessional, shooting four teens and killing a drug dealer, his wife and the wife and small children of another drug dealer By 1972, Mullin was hearing voices in his head that told him an earthquake was imminent, and that only way to save California was through murder.
On October 13, 1972, Mullin went out and battered a homeless man to death with a baseball bat. He was to claim that the victim was Jonah from the Bible, and that he had sent Mullin a telepathic message saying, "Pick me up and throw me over the boat. Kill me so that others will be saved."
The next victim Mullin picked up hitch-hiking. He stabbed her to death, sliced open her stomach and dumped her corpse at the side of the road. He then strung her intestines along the tree branches to examine them for "pollution".
Mullin went to confess his sins but ended up stabbing the priest to death. Mullin had paranoid delusions of conspiracies, behind which he believed was a powerful group of hippies.
He also killed five other people two women, One Man, and two young boys
Then he shot and killed four teenaged boys out camping.
The final murder, Mullin was driving alone when he pulled over and shot dead an elderly man who was mowing his lawn. Then he got back into his car and drove off. It was broad daylight and there were a number of witnesses, and Mullin was quickly arrested. In the space of four months he had killed 13 people.

ATLANTA, GA 30316

Holly Harvey, 15, had lived with her grandparents Carl, 74, and Sarah, 73, Collier at their Fayette County home in Georgia for just four months when she decided that she had had enough. Holly had no intention of going to church as her grandparents had hoped or conforming to the rules imposed on her. Nor did she want to give up her one true love: Sandra (Sandy) Ketchum, 16, whom she was forbidden to see.
That evening, Sandy Ketchum, who had sneaked into Holly's basement bedroom the previous day, talked about killing Holly's grandparents. The girls reviewed their plan in detail, which had been broken down into four key steps. Just in case, Holly wrote the "to do" list on her arm in ink. The list read, "Kill, keys, money and jewelry," according to Shirek.
The two girls began to smoke marijuana, hoping to lure the Colliers down into the basement with the smell. It didn't take long for Holly's grandparents to react. When Carl and Sarah reached the room, Sandy was already hidden behind the bed armed with a knife. Holly was also clutching a knife, waiting to lunge at whoever came at her first.
When the couple entered the room, an argument quickly ensued, and Holly stabbed her grandmother in the back. Carl and Sarah managed to wrestle her to the bed, trying to prevent her from stabbing her grandmother again, but Holly shouted for assistance. Sandythen leapt from behind the bed and got involved in the struggle.
During the attack, Sarah suffered more than 20 stab wounds to her chest and back before dying. Although Carl had also been stabbed repeatedly, he was able to run upstairs to the kitchen, where he tried to call the police. Holly chased after him and cut the phone lines. Rochelle Carter reported in The Atlanta Journal and Constitution that Carl tried to stop his granddaughter by throwing a coffee cup at her, but it didn't work. Holly caught up to him and dealt the final fatal blows that left Carl lying face down on the kitchen floor in a pool of his own blood. He had sustained around 15 stab wounds to the chest and neck.
On Thursday, April 14, 2005, Holly Harvey pleaded guilty to two counts
of malice murder and was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences.
She will be eligible for parole in 20 years. Sandy Ketchum was sentenced
to three life terms for murder and armed robbery, to be served concurrently.
She could be eligible for parole in 10 years.

The Moors Murderer

The Moors murders were committed by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley around the Manchester area of England between 1963 and 1965.
The Moors murders are so named because four of the victims were buried to the north of the A635, Greenfield Road, over Saddleworth Moor between Oldham. Their five victims were children aged between 10 and 17 years
Their first victim disappeared on her way to a dance in July 1963. She got into a car with Hindley while Brady secretly followed behind on his motorbike. When the van reached Saddleworth Moor, Hindley stopped the van and got out before asking Reade to help her find a missing glove in exchange for some records. They were busy "searching" the moors when Brady pounced on Reade and fractured her skull with a shovel. He then raped her before slitting her throat with a knife; her spinal cord was severed and she was almost decapitated. Brady then buried her body in a grave only three feet deep. Brady and Hindley's second victim was a 12-year-old The victim approached Hindley at a market to help her carry some boxes. Brady was sitting in the back of a car that Hindley had hired. When they reached the moors, Brady took the child with him while Hindley waited in the car. On the moor, Brady subjected his victm to a sexual assault and attempted to slit his throat with a six-inch serrated blade, but failed; Brady strangled him with a piece of string (possibly a shoelace) and buried his body in a shallow grave. His body was found there nearly two years later, The body was clothed but the jeans and underpants that he had been wearing were pulled down to mid-thigh and the underpants appeared to be knotted at the back. The body was by then severely decomposed and he was identified by his clothing.[2]
The third victim was 12-year-old boy who vanished on his way to his grandmother's house in Gorton on June 1964 – four days after his 12th birthday. Bennett accepted a lift from Hindley . She drove to Saddleworth Moor and asked him to help search for a lost glove. Brady then lured Bennett into a ravine, where he strangled him with a piece of string before burying his body. Hindley stood above the ravine and watched the murder. Hindley later confessed that she had destroyed the photographs taken at the site of this particular murder, that had been kept at Brady's workplace.
The fourth victim, A 10-year-old girl was lured from a fairground in Ancoats and taken back to Hindley's home. There the girl was undressed and forced to pose for pornographic photographs with a gag in her mouth, and in the last four of them with her hands bound – the last kneeling in an attitude of prayer. Brady took the nine obscene photographs of the girl, and either he or Hindley recorded the scene on a reel-to-reel audio tape. The sixteen-minute tape contains the voices of Brady and Hindley relentlessly cajoling and threatening the child as they try to photograph her. Downey is heard crying, retching, screaming, and begging to be allowed to return home safely to her mother.
Downey was raped and then fatally strangled with a piece of string at some point thereafter. The following morning, Brady and Hindley drove Downey's body to Saddleworth Moor where she was buried in a shallow grave. When it was found, the body was still identifiable, although her mother also had to listen to the audio recording of her daughter's voice to confirm her identity.[3]
The fifth and final victim was 17-year-old. Brady invited the Victim to his house with promises of sexual activity. Brady then hacked him to death with an axe. Brady claimed that Evans was a homosexual (although his family denied these allegations). It remains uncertain whether Evans was actually a homosexual or if Brady was merely attempting to impugn the young man's character (homosexuality was still illegal in Britain at the time). The crime was witnessed by Hindley's brother-in-law David Smith, Brady and Hindley had apparently staged the murder as part of Smith's initiation into their killing confederacy.
Throughout the previous year, Brady had been cultivating a friendship with Smith who copied a quotation from the Marquis de Sade into his diary: "Rape is not a crime, it is a state of mind. Murder is a hobby and a supreme pleasure".
Hindley had invited Smith to the house on the pretext that Brady had wanted to give him some miniature wine bottles. Smith was waiting in the kitchen when he suddenly heard a loud scream from the adjacent living room as Hindley shouted for him to go and "help Ian". Smith entered the room to find Brady in a murderous frenzy, repeatedly striking the victim with the flat of an axe before throttling him with a length of electrical cord. Smith was then asked to help clean up the blood and bits of bone and brain in the living room, and help carry the body to the spare room upstairs and wrap it in a polythene bag trussed up with rope.

I wonder what thanks giving dinner was like with this family?

Ira Einhorn #ES6859
SCI Houtzdale
P.O. Box 1000
Houtzdale, PA 16698-1000

Einhorn was active in ecological groups and was an icon of the counterculture, anti-establishment and anti-war movements of the 1960s and 1970s. At one time, he was a friend and contemporary of Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman. He also claimed to have been instrumental in creating Earth Day in 1970, and during the first Earth Day event, which was televised globally, Ira Einhorn was on stage as master of ceremonies, although other event organizers dispute his account. He called himself, poetically, "the Unicorn," because the name Einhorn means Unicorn, or more literally translated to "One Horn". The media also dubbed him "the Unicorn Killer"

Born into a middle-class Jewish family, Einhorn studied at the University of Pennsylvania and had a five-year relationship with Holly Maddux, a graduate of Bryn Mawr College who was originally from Tyler, Texas. In 1977, Maddux broke up with Einhorn. She went to New York City and became involved with Saul Lapidus. After learning about this turn of events, Einhorn called Maddux and told her to come back to Philadelphia to retrieve her belongings. She did so and was never seen in public again.

When questioned, Einhorn told police that Maddux had left to go to the store but never came back. Eighteen months later, Maddux's decomposing corpse was found by police in a trunk stored in a closet in Einhorn's apartment. Upon being confronted by police with this discovery, Einhorn reportedly replied "you found what you found".

In 1981, just days before his murder trial was to begin, Einhorn skipped bail and fled to Europe. Einhorn traveled in Europe for the next 16 years, along the way marrying a Swedish woman named Annika Flodin. Back in Pennsylvania, as Einhorn had already been arraigned, the state convicted him in absentia in 1993 for the murder of Maddux. Einhorn was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

In 1997, Einhorn was tracked down and arrested in Champagne-Mouton, France, where he had been living under the name "Eugene Mallon." The extradition process, however, proved more complex than it was initially envisioned, and contrasted the different interpretations that France and the U.S. have of the concept of the "right to a fair trial". Under the extradition treaty between France and the United States, either country may refuse extradition if it finds that the defendant may not get a fair trial. It took four years for him to be returned to the U.S. on July 20, 2001. During court proceedings in 2002, Taking the stand in his own defense, Einhorn claimed that Maddux was murdered by CIA agents who attempted to frame Einhorn for the crime, due to Einhorn's investigations on the Cold War and "psychotronics." However, after only two hours of deliberation, the jury did not find his testimony credible and affirmed his conviction on October 17, 2002.

There was a 1998 TV documentary called "Peace, Love, and Murder: The Ira Einhorn Story" released about him as well.

Ismael Bugarin is serving life without parole for the murders of his wife and young son. This murder happened near where I live, and I am aware of some other facts as well. I know someone who is actually a relative of Ismael, and he is normally a nice person I am told, Ismael was high on Meth and alcohol at the time of this incident, so it's a good learning experience for people who would like to know the perils of drug and alcohol abuse.
Here is an excerpt from an article published by WCCO news in Minneapolis, MN:
"Police said Ismael Bugarin got in an argument with his wife Teresa Bugarin. She said she was going to divorce him, move out and take the kids with her. She screamed for help and the three kids ran into the back room to see what was wrong.
Police said Bugarin then pinned Teresa Bugarin down and shot her, but evidence shows she was first attacked with a knife and stabbed in the chest. The children fled the room and tried to leave the trailer, but were not able to escape.
Bugarin slashed one of his daughter's face and neck area, and then turned to his 12-year-old son Ismael Nicholas Bugarin, known as Nick, and cut his neck. He finally came from behind the other daughter and stabbed her under the chin.

Police believe that at some point Nick was able to get the knife away and stab his dad twice in the back. [This is in fact true, Nick was later credited with saving his sister's lives by the police]

The kids managed to leave and get help at the next trailer over. Their father tried to follow but instead turned back into the home and slashed his wrists. When police arrived they found Nick lying in a pool of blood in a nearby trailer. The deputy and residents in that trailer tried to stop the bleeding, but Nick later died." (end of the excerpt from WCCO)

The two daughters survived their injuries. He admitted to the murders and plead guilty to them in court on Feb. 23, 2010. Bugarin expressed a great deal of regret for his actions when he plead guilty to the charges. I personally was sitting in the courtroom for this one

Butner FMC
Federal Medical Center
PO Box 1600
Butner, NC 27509

The Secret Service wanted him on charges of counterfeiting.
Back at the Washington Field Office, Secret Service agent Greg Mertz looked through the assortment of distasteful items they had found in DeBardeleben's storage locker and then listened to one of the tapes. He was utterly stunned by its contents, and it soon became evident that DeBardeleben, in the words of one expert, had a criminal history "unmatched anywhere for its sadism, its scope and his success at eluding detection."The tapes recorded intense and disgusting torture sessions with women, who begged their tormenter to either stop or kill them. They appeared to be somewhat scripted and revealed a man full of self-hatred who needed to experience pain in others or himself to get aroused. According to Michaud, many of the investigators believed that DeBardeleben was the "most dangerous felon ever at large in America." The agents realized that DeBardeleben was possibly the elusive suspect in two cases of abduction and rape in 1979. He had often posed as a law enforcement officer, gaining the trust of his victims or insisting they accompany him before forcing them to do his will. Those who survived his attacks reported that he yelled a lot, swore at them, forced them to perform degrading acts, and could not maintain an erection. One girl reported that he'd said he wanted to get back at women because he'd had a wife who'd given him a raw deal. Often, he took photos of his victims naked and engaging in forced sexual acts. He threatened to use the photos against them if they ever told. It appears to have been 18 years between the time he committed his first murder and when he was ultimately caught for another crime altogether. It turned out that he was wanted in nine states, and that was only for crimes that they managed to tie to him. Most of those involved in the investigation believe that he's done far more than they could uncover, both in number and degree of evil. He became the primary suspect in four murders and a likely suspect in several more, as well as the principal suspect in numerous rapes.
when he experienced fear during one episode, he devised a strategy to give himself more courage, and then wrote descriptions of what he could do next. There were times when he even wore women's clothing while he performed his fantasies. He would also take pictures, posing his victims in various ways. He even used the photos from one victim to help him perform with another, as if he needed dance steps drawn on the floor before he could participate. Yet because he had written so extensively and had kept so many tapes and photos of his victims, DeBardeleben proved to be a fascinating subject for those experts who studied this kind of perversion

James Koedatich 757061
New Jersey State Prison
P.O. Box 861
Trenton, New Jersey 08625

Born in 1948, Koedatich committed his first known murder in Dade County, Florida, on June 13, 1971. The victim was his roommate, 40-year-old Robert Anderson, and Koedatich served eleven years on conviction of murder and robbery, winning parole from Raiford prison in August 1982. He moved north with the state's permission, settling in Morristown, New Jersey, and he lasted all of two months before his bloodlust surfaced again. On November 23, 1982, Amy Hoffman, a high school cheerleader, was kidnapped from a Morristown shopping mall, fatally stabbed in the chest and back with a long-bladed knife, her body recovered from a rural water tank on Thanksgiving Day. Witnesses described her abductor, but police had no suspects in sight twelve days later, when 29-year-old Deirdre O'Brian was snatched from her car on a dark country road, raped and stabbed, then left for dead near Allamuchy, 20 miles from Morristown. She lived long enough to describe her attacker as "resembling a truck driver." On the night of January 16, James Koedatich phoned police in Morristown, complaining that he had been stopped by an unknown assailant and stabbed in the back while driving through Morris Township, a quarter-mile from the scene of Deirdre O'Brian's murder. Authorities routinely checked his car as part of their investigation, noting that his tires matched tracks discovered at the latest murder site. A further search turned up sufficient evidence to warrant his arrest, and Koedatich was held in lieu of $250,000 bail, formally charged with Deirdre O'Brian's murder on May 12. Seven months later, on December 15, he was also indicted for murdering Amy Hoffman. Tried on the latter charge first, in October 1984, Koedatich was convicted of murder, kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, and unlawful possession of a weapon with intent to kill. On October 29, he became the first man sentenced to die under New Jersey's revised capital punishment statute. (Serial slayer Richard Biegenwald was the second, in 1985.) Convicted of Deirdre O'Brian's murder in May 1985, Koedatich received a sentence of life imprisonment when three jurors balked at voting the death penalty.

As of 11/11/09 Jamie isn't listed in Tenn. I need his address.

It happened on Nov. 15, 1995, in Lynville, Tenn. – nearly four years before the massacre at Columbine High School. Science teacher Ralph Johnson was in his classroom at Richland High School when a student walked through the school’s north entrance and as always, he was dressed in black, but this time Jamie Rouse, then 17, was armed with a .22 caliber, semiautomatic rifle. He began shooting at the first teachers he saw.
Rouse sat down with Correspondent Maureen Maher to give a rare glimpse into the mind of a school shooter.
________________________________________
“I didn’t feel anything. I was empty,” says Rouse.
The first shots hit Carol Yancey, 50, who taught math and science, and Carolyn Foster, 58, a teacher at the school for 15 years.
His third victim, Diane Collins, was a 14-year-old freshman.
“When you're in that state of mind where you're gonna kill someone, nothing matters,” says Rouse. “I wasn't expecting to, you know, come back alive.”
The killing stopped only after Rouse was wrestled to the ground. Two of the victims -- Collins and Foster -- died. But Yancey miraculously survived.
Rouse was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, without parole, for the shootings.

Jeremy Strohmeyer 59389
Ely State Prison
PO BOX 1989
Ely, NV 89301
updated 11/11/09

born October 11, 1978, is a Long Beach, California man who molested and murdered 7-year-old South Los Angeles elementary school student Sherrice Iverson (October 20, 1989 – May 25, 1997)
at Primadonna Resort and Casino in Primm, Nevada, on May 25, 1997.
The case drew national attention by focusing on the safety of children in casinos and on the revelation that Strohmeyer's friend, David Cash Jr., said he saw the crime in progress but did not stop it.
Around 4 a.m., May 25, 1997, Strohmeyer began repeatedly making apparently "playful" contact with Iverson, who was roaming the casino alone. The young girl's father was gambling and drinking and, although security asked him several times that evening to keep a closer watch on his daughter, he ignored her after security departed. Eventually, Strohmeyer followed her into a women's restroom.
While in the restroom, the two began throwing wet paper wads at one another. At around this time Strohmeyer's friend, David Cash, who was with him at the casino, entered the restroom and witnessed Strohmeyer forcibly take Iverson into a stall. When Cash looked in from the adjacent stall, he saw Strohmeyer holding his left hand over Iverson's mouth and fondling her with his right. After this, Cash left the restroom and was followed 20 minutes later by Strohmeyer, who immediately confessed to him that he had molested and killed the girl.
Three days later, Strohmeyer was taken into custody after classmates identified him as the killer from a security tape played on the news. He was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, and sexual assault of a minor. When questioned by police, Strohmeyer stated that he molested Iverson and strangled her to stifle her screams. Before leaving, Strohmeyer noticed Iverson was still alive and twisted her head in an attempt to break her neck, and after hearing a loud popping sound, rested her body in a sitting position on the toilet with her feet in the bowl.

Jerry W. Jones Jr. 544948
GA DIAG & CLASS PRIS-PERM
POST OFFICE BOX 3877
JACKSON, GA 30233

a death penalty for quadruple murderer Jerry William Jones.
The verdict was reached in a sentencing hearing for Jones, who pleaded guilty earlier to the January 2004 murders of Jerri Georgia Jones, the daughter Jones had with Melissa Peeler; Georgia Mae Bradley, Peeler’s sister; and Tom Blaylock and Nola Blaylock, Peeler’s stepfather and mother.
“I know it was a very difficult decision to make,” said Rita Garner, Blaylock’s younger sister. “But the family appreciates it.”
The jury set the death penalty for all four murders, deliberating about six hours over two days, reconvening Friday at about 11:30 a.m.
One juror wept when polled by Judge Carey Nelson about whether she agreed with the verdicts, and a member of Tom Blaylock’s family was escorted out when she began crying as the verdict was read. Melissa Peeler showed no emotion as the verdict was read.
Defense attorney Jack Martin told Nelson any vote for the death penalty meant his client would be executed. Jones’ attorneys said they would not ask the jury to consider “life with possibility of parole” because of the horrendous nature of the crimes. After the sentences were read, including those for the other crimes his client was charged with, Martin said they planned to file an appeal immediately.
“We have never minimized the crimes,” he said later. “The crimes were horrendous. But they were caused by mental illness, and the death penalty isn’t appropriate.”
Jones admitted to going to the home of Georgia Mae Bradley on Jan. 4, 2004, binding her arms with duct tape behind her back so he could question her about why her sister and his longtime girlfriend, Melissa Peeler, left him. He then cut her clothes off, taped her face with duct tape, strangled her, put a plastic bag over her head and shoved her in a closet.
Jones then waited for Tom Blaylock to leave his home, next to Bradley’s, shot him, covered the body with a tarp before going to the Blaylock’s house and shooting Nola Blaylock three times.
Jones also pled guilty to killing his 10-month-old daughter, Jerri Georgia Jones, by hanging her with an electrical cord.
According to testimony by the defense’s expert witnesses, Jones said his original plan was to kill all of his children, then himself so they could be together in heaven. Family members of Tom Blaylock said he and his wife had received numerous threatening letters from Jones for years leading up to the deaths.
“If those threats had been taken seriously, we wouldn’t be here today,” she said. “That’s where the system failed Tom.”
Defense attorneys portrayed Jones as a mentally ill man, born into a family of violent and mentally ill members who often used guns and threats of suicide to solve problems.
Prosecutors tried to show Jones as “just plain mean,” pointing out he wrote Peeler while in prison describing how her baby died and telling her if she had been there, she could have saved her baby. Peeler was in another state when the murders occurred.
The trial as a whole went faster than forecast. District Attorney Joe C. Campbell had predicted it would take a month. It lasted, including jury selection, three weeks.
For one family member, the verdict isn’t the end of her waiting. “I’ve been to every hearing for four years and I won’t stop coming,” she said.

Jim Ruzicka 624728
Unit SHU Tier B Cell 4
W.S.P.
1313 N 13th Ave
Walla Walla, WA 99362

In and out of juvenile facilities and prisons from the age of nine, James Ruzicka was the product of an abusive home who compounded his problem with abuse of LSD, cocaine, mescaline and heroin.
He first practiced bestiality as a child, soon progressing to the molestation of young girls. In 1973, at age 23, he was convicted of raping two Washington women at knife point. Pronounced a sexual psychopath by the court, he received a ten-year prison sentence, suspended on condition that he join a sex-offender rehabilitation program at Western State Hospital, near Tacoma. Ruzicka jumped at the chance to escape prison time, and soon advanced to the position of trusty, escorting other patients to their work stations outside the hospital's maximum-security wing. Administrators thought enough of Ruzicka to grant him a 48-hour furlough, from which he never returned. Making tracks for Seattle, the fugitive moved in with his ex-wife and her new husband, living rent-free for a time before striking off on his own.
In the four weeks after his flight from Tacoma, Ruzicka murdered two girls in Seattle. Nancy Kinghammer, 16, and Penny Haddenham, 14, were both abducted from their homes by night, with Penny's corpse recovered first. Investigators found her hanging from a tree, just off the West Seattle Expressway; an autopsy determined that she had been raped , then strangled, before her body was strung up. Nancy Kinghammer surfaced a month later, her half-naked body concealed beneath trash in a vacant lot used as a dumping ground. Some towels were wrapped around the decomposing corpse; together with a knife, found near the scene, they would be traced by homicide detectives to the home of Ruzicka's ex-wife.
By that time, Ruzicka had been arrested in Beaverton, Oregon, for the brutal rape of a 13-year-old girl. "I asked her if she wanted to ball," he told police, "and she didn't say 'no,' so I figured she wouldn't mind." Sentenced to prison on that charge, Ruzicka later confessed to the murders in Washington and was extradited for trial. Convicted on all counts, he received two consecutive life terms, to be served following completion of his Oregon sentence. (Authorities in Oregon have reportedly ordered a series of hormone injections for Ruzicka, designed to reduce his libido.)

John Brooks #120387
Louisiana State Penitentary
17544 Tunica Trace
Angola, LA 70712

(multiple victims- serial killer or spree killer?)

I am unsure of the reliability of the story below because there are little well known sources available. However, I did confirm that John Brooks has been convicted of several counts of murder. Here is an article about John Brooks found on the web sourrce listed below.

"First arrested in February 1982, at age fifteen, for molesting an eight-year-old girl, within five years John Brooks was named by homicide detectives as "the largest one-man crime ring in recent New Orleans history." Arrested December 29, 1986, on two counts of murder, within two weeks his rap sheet listed four more homicides, two counts of attempted murder, nine armed robberies, plus individual counts of kidnapping, rape, and attempted robbery. It was an impressive tally for a 20-year-old, but police remained convinced that they had only glimpsed "the tip of the iceberg." According to the charges filed against him, Brooks began his solitary crime wave with an armed robbery on June 14, 1986, waiting over a month before pulling his second on July 27. Foiled in an attempted robbery on August 23, he rebounded the same afternoon by shooting Wilbert Johnson, age 50, and leaving him dead on the street. More robberies followed, on September 1 and 27, October 18 and 19. In the predawn hours of November 1, 51-year-old James Williams was shot to death without apparent motive on a dark New Orleans street, his heavy-set assailant seen by several witnesses. On November 27, taxi driver Artis Thompson was killed by a stranger who approached his cab, demanded money, and then shot Thompson several times before stealing a purse from his terrified passenger. Another robbery on November 29 kept Brooks in spending money, but his thirst for blood had not been quenched. Things heated up as the Christmas season approached, with another robbery on December 12. Two days later, Zachary Turnell was parked on the street with a woman companion when he was shot and killed by a stranger, his pockets rifled for cash. Turnell's killer then kidnapped the woman, driving her to a downtown motel, where she was brutally raped. On December 20, Terry Young was gunned down without motive while leaving a New Orleans tavern. Brooks celebrated Christmas morning with another random shooting, killing Diane Gipson as she sat in her boyfriend's car, on Lakeshore Drive. Her companion, Tyrone Wilkinson, was shot in the stomach but survived. Three days later, 18-year-old Darren Mercadel was slain on the street while exchanging gifts with a female acquaintance. Ballistics tests showed that the same gun was used to kill victims Young, Gipson, and Mercadel over a period of eight days. Brooks was finally identified after his fingerprints were matched with some recovered from Tyrone Wilkinson's car. His name was already familiar to homicide investigators, as Brooks had claimed to be a witness in an unsolved double murder -- that of Thomas Morris and Cabrini Jareau, shot in a parked car October 23, 1986. Charged in the murders of victims Johnson, Williams, Thompson, Young, Gipson and Mercadel, Brooks also remains a prime suspect in the slayings of Turnell, Morris and Jareau."

John Couey RIP | Show/Hide Details »

Update: John Couey died of natural causes in 2009

Notorious Murderer
(born September 19, 1958) is an American convicted of kidnapping, raping, and murdering nine-year old Jessica Lunsford in February 2005, in Florida. Lunsford's disappearance and Couey's subsequent confession and trial received extensive media coverage. Due to Couey's actions, Jessica's Law was enacted in Florida, and Congress created the Jessica Lunsford Act. A jury recommended that Couey receive the death penalty, and on August 24, 2007, Couey was sentenced to death.
In a videotaped and recorded deposition which later was thrown out by his Florida trial court (see below), he admitted to sexually assaulting Lunsford in his bedroom.[2] The admission stated that she was kept in his bed that evening, where he raped her again in the morning. It further stated that Couey put her in his closet and ordered her to remain there, which she did as he reported for work at "Billy's Truck Lot".[1] Lastly, the admission recounted that three days after he abducted her, Couey bound the child's wrists together with speaker wire, placed her in a garbage bag, placed the bag containing her inside another garbage bag and buried her alive in a shallow grave, where she suffocated to death. Because Couey had asked for an attorney before being interrogated but was not given one, his trial court threw out this statement as being obtained in violation of Couey's Sixth Amendment right to counsel and right to due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment.
On March 18, 2005, police found Lunsford's body at Couey's residence located on West Sparrow Court, under the front porch and buried in a hole approximately 2˝' deep and 2' circular, covered with leaves. The body was removed from the ground and transported to the coroner's office. Her body had undergone "moderate" to "severe" decomposition and, according to the publicly released autopsy reports, was skeletonized on two fingers that Lunsford had poked through the bags before suffocating to death. The coroner ruled that death would have happened even in best circumstances within three or five minutes from lack of oxygen.

John Linley Fraizer B38808
Mule Creek State Prison
P.O. Box 409099
Ione, CA 95640

The prosecutors made their case with witnesses who knew Frazier, with documentation about the Ohtas. For example, Frazier had told someone that he'd been inside the Ohta home and had taken some binoculars. One of the Ohta daughters testified that a pair of binoculars was missing from the home. There was also physical evidence that tied Frazier to the crime scene. Besides the fingerprints in the stolen car and on a beer can, they had an expert testify that a metallic substance found on Frazier's knife was consistent with the wire cords that had been cut inside the Ohta home
Apparently, "voices from God" had commanded him to "seek vengeance on those who rape the environment." That afternoon, he went to the Ohta residence and found only Virginia Ohta at home. He had a .38 revolver, which he held on her as he used scarves that he found in the home to tie her hands together at the wrists. He told her she was evil. Looking around, he found a .22 pistol. As Mrs. Ohta remained bound, Frazier waited for the rest of the family to return. He was quite upset to see animal skins inside the home—a terrible violation of nature. He planned to kill each person who arrived.
Then Dorothy Cadwallader drove up, bringing home Taggert. They walked right into a trap, and Frazier soon had them tied up as well. It wasn't long before Victor Ohta brought home his other son, Derrick, from school. They, too, fell victim. (Had they all arrived at once, Frazier probably could not have carried out his plan.)
Frazier took them outside to the edge of the pool (or he took Ohta outside and then later brought the others), where he said he lectured Ohta about materialism and how it had a negative effect on the environment. He accused Ohta of ruining the Santa Cruz Mountains. He reported that Ohta began to argue with him and to bribe him with material goods. Annoyed, Frazier suggested they burn down the house together with everything inside. Ohta grew angry and began to argue, so to shut him up, Frazier shoved him, still bound, into the pool. As the man tried to get out of the water, Frazier shot him three times.
The others were horrified. He asked each one of they believed in God and they said yes, so he told them they had nothing to be afraid of. He walked behind each of his helpless victims and shot them at the base of the neck, killing the two women first, and then the two boys. (In another version, he brought the women out separately and killed them outside. Then he went inside to kill the boys and carried them out to the pool. He also said that he'd arrived that day with three other people, and also that he'd met up with two other people later. It's difficult to know the full truth about the events that evening.)
No matter how he ended up shooting them, Frazier pushed or dropped each victim into the pool. Then he went into the house to type the note that he left on Ohta's car. Afterward, he went about setting fires around the mansion and fled in the green Oldsmobile.
Marlowe ended his account by saying that Frazier's stories were mostly disjointed and that he was insane and dangerous. He had gross disturbances in his thoughts and feelings. He also had visual and auditory hallucinations, with excessive religiosity, as seen by his underlining in a Bible he carried. Frazier considered himself John from the Bible, to whom the Book of Revelations was addressed, and he had developed a complex system of beliefs based in occult number systems, astrology, reincarnation, and themes of immortality.
On cross-examination, Chang suggested that Frazier had hoodwinked Marlowe with his delusions, indicating that it was all a lie. Marlowe said that evasion was more his style than outright lying. He did not budge from his diagnosis.
Donald T. Lunde was one of three forensic psychiatrists who testified (referred to in the newspaper as alienists). He had visited Frazier on November 17, 1970, and then had interviewed Frazier's wife, relatives and friends. He contended that Frazier was a paranoid schizophrenic who at the time of the murders was incapable of knowing that what he was doing was wrong. Frazier had told him, Lunde testified, that he was a special agent sent from God to save the earth. His wife had heard these delusions as well during the summers of 1969 and 1970. Apparently he had grown increasingly more paranoid until he finally broke away from her and their child to go live in the woods. He trusted no one. Under his delusional system, Lunde said, the killing of certain people was necessary and thus not wrong.
"He's crazy," Lunde had stated in court. He then amended that to, "He is unable to appreciate society's standards."

On December 3, Frazier arrived with half of his head and face shaved, including one eyebrow. Marlowe explained that Frazier did this so the jury would think he was faking insanity and would find him sane and send him to the gas chamber. He did not want to end up at a mental institution—a "fascist head factory." Marlowe said this was another indication of how distorted his thinking was.
Chang had his own expert testify as well, who had interviewed Frazier for two hours. During the second week of December, psychiatrist John Peschau from Agnews State Hospital said that Frazier suffered from a personality disorder, not psychosis. He was a sociopath, not schizophrenic, and he did appreciate what he had done and that it was wrong. Thus, he was not legally insane. Not only that, he would not learn from what he had done and was therefore a danger to society.
"I considered him intolerant, crafty, and arrogant," Dr. Peschau said. "He sets his own rules - he disregards the feelings of others."
On December 16, as the final phase of the trial was underway, Frazier showed up completely bald—no eyebrows, hair, mustache or beard. Then as the judge instructed the jury, he sat reading George Orwell's novel, 1984. Earlier he had been reading a book on mental disorders.
Ultimately, the jury found Frazier guilty and sentenced him to death. However, when the Supreme Court declared capital punishment unconstitutional in 1976, Frazier's sentence was commuted to life in prison at San Quentin.

John J Connolly Jr. #22928-038
FCI BUTNER LOW
FEDERAL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION
P.O. BOX 999

(crooked FBI agent who worked with the Irish Mob)

John J. "Zip" Connolly, Jr. is a former FBI agent, currently incarcerated in a federal penitentiary for racketeering and obstruction of justice convictions stemming from his relationship with James J. "Whitey" Bulger, Steve Flemmi, and the Winter Hill Gang. He is the brother-in-law of Arthur Gianelli who is married to Mary Ann Moore, the sister of Connolly's wife Elizabeth.

Massechusetts State Police and other federal officers had been trying to imprison Whitey Bulger for years, but somehow Bulger always avoided getting caught. As the FBI handler for Bulger and Flemmi, Connolly (who had grown up in the Old Harbor Housing Project with Bulger) had been protecting them from prosecution by feeding him information about possible attempts to catch them.

Connolly was indicted on December 22, 1999 on charges of alerting Bulger and Flemmi to investigations, falsifying FBI reports to cover their crimes, and accepting bribes. In 2000, he was charged with additional racketeering related offenses. He was convicted on the racketeering charges in 2002 and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

In 2005, Connolly was indicted on murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges in the 1982 slaying of John B. Callahan. He stood trial in 2008 in Miami. Callahan was murdered by John Martorano who shot Callahan and left his body in the trunk of his Cadillac in a parking lot at Miami International Airport. Prosecutors alleged that Callahan was killed on the orders of Whitey Bulger and Stephen Flemmi after Connolly told them that the FBI was investigating his ties to the Winter Hill Gang in their on going investigation into the death of World Jai Alai owner Roger Wheeler. Wheeler had also been killed by Martorano in Tulsa, Oklahoma in May 1981. During the trial, Bulger associates Stephen Flemmi, Kevin Weeks and John Martorano testified for the prosecution detailing Connolly's ties to Bulger and Flemmi. Also testifying against Connolly was his former FBI boss, John Morris, who admitted that he accepted $7,000 in bribes from Bulger and Flemmi. He stated he began leaking information to them after Connolly delivered a case of wine and an envelope stuffed with $1000 cash from the pair.

On November 6, 2008, a jury convicted Connolly of second-degree murder. On January 15, 2009, Judge Stanford Blake sentenced Connolly to 40 years in prison, saying that Connolly "crossed over to the dark side."

James J. "Whitey" Bulger is still a fugitive and a member of the notorious FBI Ten Most Wanted List.

This scandal was also the basis for the book "Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob" by author Dick Lehr; and served as the inspiration for the setting of 2006 crime thriller film, "The Departed", written by William Monahan and directed by Martin Scorsese.

(Mafia Boss)

Giovanni "John the Dour Don" Stanfa is a Philadelphia mobster and former acting boss/de facto boss of the Philadelphia crime family. He became acting boss sometime after Little Nicky Scarfo was imprsioned for life.

Stanfa was elevated to the new acting boss of the Philadelphia crime family, as he had the backing of the Gambino and Genovese crime families of New York, who wanted yet again to influence someone to take over the much weakened family from the imprisoned Scarfo.

During the reign of Stanfa, the mob family was divided into two quarreling factions, one supporting Stanfa as boss, and the other backing Joseph Merlino for boss. Merlino was mainly supported by previous members of the Philadelphia family while Stanfa, in an unusual tactic recruited for his side several men who were not of Italian heritage, including the Veasey brothers. According to the former executive director of the Pennsylvania Crime Commission, Frederick T. Martens, "Stanfa brought in people, like the Veasey brothers, who had no background in the mob but who were willing to break legs and pull a trigger". One of the Veasey brothers named John Veasey was made and became a hit man and Capo in the Stanfa faction.

On August 5, 1993, Merlino was shot and wounded in a drive-by shooting assassination-attempt organized by Stanfa. Merlino survived, but his associate, Michael "Mikey Chang" Ciancaglini, was killed. In retaliation, Stanfa’s son was shot in the face on August 31 of that same year. Stanfa reportedly sanctioned Merlino's assassination over two dozen times. Merlino survived the attempts, but was sent to prison that same year on violation of his parole. Just as Stanfa started to gain control of the family, he was indicted along with 23 of his associates.

Indicted on labor racketeering, extortion, loan sharking, murder and conspiracy to commit murder on March 17, 1994, Stanfa's power declined and his connections to New York and the Gambino crime family soon ended when it became clear that he would not continue to run the Philadelphia family. In November 1995, Stanfa was convicted of all charges and sentenced to five consecutive life sentences.

Joseph Baldi 75A0201
Riverview Corr. Fac.
P.O. Box 158
Ogdensberg, NY 13669
Died Oct 17th 2009

In the early hours of September 5, 1971, police received a prowler complaint in Queens. While investigating, two officers saw Joseph Baldi walking down the sidewalk at 5:00 A.M. When asked by Officer John Hamberger what he was doing in the area, Baldi responded that he had just left his girlfriend and was on his way to work. Dissatisfied with defendant's answers to further questions, Officer Hamberger asked for identification. Baldi reached for his pocket as though to take out his wallet, but instead produced a pistol, pointed it at the officer's chest, and pulled the trigger. Fortunately, the gun misfired and the officers wrestled Baldi to the ground and disarmed him.
Baldi was handcuffed, arrested, and placed in the police car. After being read the Miranda warnings, he was searched. Live ammunition was found in the gun, which was operable, and more ammunition was found in defendant's jacket. In addition, there were found in Baldi's wallet a license, registration, and Social Security card belonging to a woman who lived nearby. Defendant claimed he had found the items on the street. Subsequent investigation revealed that the woman's handbag, found the next day in a trashcan, had been stolen from her dining room table earlier that night.
Legal Aid Society representation was provided for Baldi. He was indicted in December, 1971, for, among other charges, attempted murder of a police officer, burglary, and possession of a weapon. The defendant, however, was found to be incompetent to stand trial after examination at Kings County Hospital. From there, Baldi was sent to Mid-Hudson State Hospital and then to Creedmoor State Hospital. In February, 1972, Baldi was released from Creedmoor without notice to the District Attorney or the court.
On June 17, 1972, at about 3:30 A.M., 15-year-old Deborah Januszko was fatally stabbed through her open bedroom window as she slept. On June 20, at about 5:00 A.M., Detective Donald Palmer spotted Baldi while staking out the Januszko neighborhood. Baldi identified himself and stated that he was attending a trade school in the area.
After investigating Baldi's story, Palmer went with another officer to Baldi's apartment for more information. At around 12:15 A.M., of June 21, Palmer met Baldi in the building's hallway, identified himself, and asked if Baldi would come to the homicide squad for questioning. As related by Palmer at a subsequent suppression hearing, defendant immediately mentioned the earlier charge concerning the attempted murder of the police officer, apparently assuming that Palmer's interest concerned that incident. Palmer asked what had happened in that case and defendant responded, according to Palmer's testimony, that "he went to-or was sentenced to Creedmoor State." When defendant asked whether Palmer knew about the charge, Palmer's only response was that the officers were there to investigate the Januszko slaying. No further inquiries were made into Baldi's statement or whether he had an attorney. Prior to this conversation, Palmer was personally unaware of the first charge or arrest.
At Palmer's request, Baldi allowed the police to enter his apartment. Among other things, they found a number of knives and sexually explicit magazines. In response to the detective's renewed request, Baldi agreed to accompany the officer to the police station.
At the station, Baldi received a full recitation of his Miranda rights. The defendant acknowledged that he understood all the warnings and answered questions put to him by Detective Angelo Lamardo. Lamardo began thumbing through one of the magazines and making deprecatory remarks about the models; Baldi defended them, stating that they were not degenerates and then reached out to touch the photographs. Baldi's knives were placed before him and more questions asked, leading to a specific inquiry about the Januszko slaying. Baldi went into a trance-like state and pantomimed the stabbing. During the night, he did this twice more in the station house, each time explaining his actions in response to Lamardo's questions. After each of the three re-enactments, defendant fell to the floor and had to be assisted to his feet. Finally, around 5:30 A.M., he was taken to the Januszko home, where he once again acted out the killing.Ppolice believed Baldi possibly was responsible for other unsolved burglary-murders that had occurred in Queens over several years. On July 7 and 14, Baldi was questioned by Lamardo in the presence of Sparrow, other detectives, and two county psychiatrists. In these interviews, Baldi again confessed to the Januszko slaying, and also confessed to three other murders as well as 10 assaults on women. At the July 7 meeting, Baldi went into the same sort of trance as on June 21 and described his acts as though occurring at that moment. At the second of these interrogations, Baldi was hypnotized by a psychiatrist and this time described his acts as occurring in the past.
On July 8, 1972, Baldi was indicted for the Januszko murder. On July 18, he was indicted for the three other murders to which he had confessed. No trial on any of the indictments was held until late 1974.
In October, 1974, Baldi was tried by jury on the indictment arising from the September, 1971 incident involving the police officer. Baldi pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. The defense theory, other than factual innocence, was that defendant was schizophrenic, having two or more personalities. The defendant took the stand and denied the events as testified to by the arresting officers. On direct examination by Sparrow, Baldi also denied committing or confessing to the crimes he had described in the July, 1972 interviews. Sparrow took the stand himself, with the consent of both the Assistant District Attorney and the court, and testified in detail to what he had observed [*144] during these interviews, recounting his client's admissions to the murders and assaults. Sparrow also testified that on June 22, 1972, the day after defendant's arrest for the Januszko murder, he visited the defendant at Kings County Hospital where Baldi was being held for examination. Sparrow described Baldi as shuffling along without lifting his feet, speaking in grunts and in a barely audible voice, and unable to hold Sparrow's business card when placed in his hand, apparently unaware of its presence. Expert testimony was also presented to establish Baldi's insanity and inability to comprehend the nature and consequences of his acts. Baldi's defense failed and he was convicted for attempted murder of a police officer, burglary in the second degree, and felonious possession of weapons. Baldi received consecutive sentences for his crimes.
In early November, 1974, a Huntley hearing was held to determine whether Baldi's statements at any of the three examinations would be admissible at his murder trial. Again, Sparrow took the stand. Concerning the circumstances under which he allowed defendant to be interviewed, disputed by the Assistant District Attorney, Sparrow testified that, after being informed of Baldi's possible involvement in other murders, Sparrow agreed to the interviews on the understanding that nothing said by the defendant would be used against him. Sparrow, in support of the claim of involuntariness by reason of insanity, also testified to Baldi's appearance when they first met on June 22, as well as to Baldi's conduct at the July, 1972 examinations. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Judge ruled that the June 21 confession was voluntarily made and thus admissible against the defendant. As to the other statements, although the court did not expressly find an agreement had actually been made, it noted Sparrow's expertise in criminal law and reliance on his understanding of the arrangement in ruling that Baldi's constitutional rights would be violated if his July, 1972 statements were used against him. Consequently, the Judge suppressed the confessions made on July 7 and 14, 1972.
In late November, 1974, Baldi pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the Januszko murder and was tried without a jury. Baldi again took the stand and denied killing Deborah Januszko or recalling his confession. Some very general remarks were also elicited by Sparrow on direct examination about the July, 1972 interviews, basically to the effect that defendant did not recall that he had admitted committing other assaults or murders. Sparrow, again with no objection from the prosecutor or the court, also took the stand. On direct, he testified only as to Baldi's dazed appearance and unusual behavior on June 22 and his general demeanor at the July interviews. On cross-examination, Sparrow testified that Baldi had confessed to other murders, but that Baldi recalled only that Sparrow told him after the examinations what he had done, not the confessions and re- enactments. Expert testimony as to Baldi's mental state was also presented. The court found the June 21 confession to be voluntary, the defendant sane at the time of the Januszko killing, and guilty of second-degree murder. Baldi was sentenced to an indeterminate term of 25 years to life.

Judith Neelley # 202618
Z-429
8966 US Hwy 231 N
Wetumka, AL 36092

Al Neelley couldn't get along with women. His first marriage was a violent debacle, marked by savage beatings, and he once served time for shooting his wife in the back with a pistol. Defense attorneys claim that wife number two received the same kind of treatment, and worse, transforming her into a virtual slave, but Alvin tells another story, describing Judith Ann as his murderous soul-mate, the "brains" behind most of the dozen-odd murders he later confessed . From 1979 to 1982, they roamed a tri-state hunting ground including Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia, working odd jobs when they had to, surviving for the most part on proceeds from con games and worthless checks. Alvin was 27, and Judith a mere 16, where they were arrested for armed robbery in 1980. Both did time, and Judith bore their twins in prison, counting down the days until she could rejoin her husband on the road. Upon release, Al found work in a gas station, staying long enough to get his hands on $ 1,800 from the till and using it to buy two cars, equipped with CB radios. Alvin became "The Nightrider," while Judith billed herself as "Lady Sundance." " When robbery and swindles palled, they turned to murder for the hell of it. Alvin would later blame Judith for most of the crimes, fingering her for eight to fifteen homicides, committed in her alleged role as procurer and "enforcer" for an interstate white-slave ring. Judith, for her part, counters that she acted only under orders from her husband, luring women for Alvin to rape and abuse, participating in their murders under Alvin's standing threat against her children. Police accept the body-count of fifteen victims as a reasonable figure, though they've come up short on verified remains. The first documented victim was 13-year-old Lisa Millican, abducted on September 25, 1982, from a shopping mall in Rome, Georgia. A resident of Cedartown's home for neglected children, Lisa was enjoying a day's outing when she met Judith Neelley and was lured into Alvin's clutches. The couple held her prisoner for several days, repeatedly molesting her in seedy motel rooms while their own children looked on. Tiring of the game, Judith tried injecting their victim with drain cleaner, but she kept hitting muscle instead of the vein, reducing Lisa's flesh to what a coroner would call "the consistency of anchovy paste." Still Lisa lived, in agony, and she was driven to Alabama's Little River Canyon, finished off with bullets after more injections failed to do the job. Back in Rome, Judith made several calls to police, directing them to the body, apparently unaware that her voice was being recorded for posterity. A short time later, 26-year-old John Hancock and his fiancee, 23-year-old Janice Chatman, were walking down a street in Rome when a flashy car stopped at the curb. Incredibly, when total stranger Judith Neelley asked them to a party, both agreed, climbing into her car for a drive into the nearby woods. Alvin joined them there, but Hancock later fingered Judith as the one who shot him in the back, before both killers turned on Janice Chatman. Hancock would survive, and on a hunch, detectives had him listen to recordings of their unknown suspect in the Millican case. Without a trace of hesitation, Hancock recognized the voice. The case might still have gone unsolved, if Al and Judith had not been arrested on a bad check rap in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. While still in custody, Judith was recognized from photographs as the woman responsible for recent threats against the Youth Development Center in Rome, an institution where she had once spent time (and, allegedly, suffered from sexual abuse ). Recordings of threatening phone calls were matched against police logs in the Millican murder, and John Hancock quickly identified the Neelleys as his assailants. In custody, Alvin gave directions to a site in Chattanooga County, where Janice Chatman's body was recovered. She had been shot to death - by Judith - after both kidnappers took turns sexually abusing her in a nearby motel room. With marathon confessions in progress, Al Neelley pled guilty to murder and aggravated assault in Georgia, receiving two life sentences. Only Judith would be tried in Alabama, for Lisa Millican's death, and before trial she continued a family tradition by giving birth to her third child in jail. Jurors in the Millican case convicted Judith, recommending life imprisonment , but a judge exercised his option to ignore the recommendation, imposing a sentence of death.

(There was a television documentary produced about this crime.)

Here are excerpts from an article written by Declan McCullagh on the Cnet news website.

"On the evening of August 17, 2002, Justin Barber was shot four times while walking on a deserted beach in Florida. Bullets hit his left hand, his left shoulder, the base of his neck, and his chest. His wife April was shot in the face and died in the surf.

From his hospital bed, Justin offered detectives a description of the man he says robbed and shot them. Witnesses told police they saw a second car parked on the beach around the same time as the shooting. And April's car and house (the couple was temporarily living three hours apart for job reasons) had been recently broken into.

Still, April's family believed Justin was the man who murdered her--then shot himself to cover up the crime--and tried to focus detectives' attention on him.

A $2 million life insurance policy had been taken out on both Justin and April. Justin was more than $50,000 in debt. He was having affairs, including one with a woman who worked at a car rental agency.

April's aunt Patty, a judge in Oklahoma, was convinced that Justin was the culprit. "He planned every moment of it," she told CBS News. "This was premeditated, cold, calculated." Detectives eventually agreed, and Justin was charged with first-degree murder.

A physical search of Justin's computer revealed that a few months before the murder, he had searched for terms including "trauma, cases, gunshot, right chest" and "Florida & divorce."

The jury convicted Justin and he was sentenced to life in prison. He appealed on grounds that the evidence was wholly circumstantial and insufficient for conviction. A Florida state appeals court upheld his conviction and sentence. "

Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre

Australia

Katherine Mary Knight (born 1956) is the first Australian woman to be jailed for the term of her natural life without parole. She was convicted in October 2001 of the murder of her de facto husband, John Charles Thomas Price (born 1956), and is currently detained in Mulawa Correctional Centre.
Price and Knight lived together in Aberdeen, in the New South Wales Hunter Valley. Price was the father of two grown-up children when Knight, a former abattoir worker, developed an acrimonious relationship with him. According to the Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) that Price had filed against Knight, she had a previous history of violence in relationships; she had smashed the dentures of one of her ex-husbands, and slashed the throat of another husband's eight-week-old puppy before his eyes. Price had also received death threats from her on previous occasions.
On or about 29 February 2000, Knight stabbed Price to death with a butcher's knife while chasing him around their home. Her fury was reportedly triggered by the AVO Price had filed against her the previous week.
The autopsy revealed that Price had been stabbed at least 37 times, in both the front and back of his body. Many of the wounds were deep and extended into vital organs.
After Price was killed, Knight skinned him and hung his skin from a meat hook on the architrave of a door in their lounge room. She then decapitated him and placed the head in a pot on the stove, baked flesh from his buttocks, and prepared vegetables and gravy to serve as a meal to his children, which was accompanied by vindictive notes from Knight. Police found the meal before the children arrived home.
Knight was arraigned on 2 February 2001 on the charge of murdering Price, to which she entered a plea of not guilty. Her trial was initially fixed for 23 July 2001 but was adjourned due to her counsel's illness. It was refixed for 15 October 2001. Three days later she was formally charged with the murder, to which she entered a guilty plea.
In June 2006, Knight appealed the life sentence, claiming that a penalty of life in jail was too severe for the killing.[1] Justices Peter McClellan, Michael Adams and Megan Latham dismissed the appeal in the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal in September, with Justice McClellan writing in his judgement, "This was an appalling crime, almost beyond contemplation in a civilised society.

I need the correct address for this guy as of 11/11/09 he isnt here any more.

On both December 10 and 13th, 1978, Chicago police were contacted by Allen's common-law wife, Bianca Smith, who complained of having "problems" with Allen, and that he was heavily armed. Officers were both times dispatched to Allen and Smith's residence to deal with the domestic complaints. The second time, Allen was refusing Smith entry to their shared residence, and demonstrated his willingness to continue to do so by brandishing various firearms at police from his front doorstep and telling the officers "the next fucking pig that puts his foot on my property, I'm going to blow his head off" and "you motherfuckers are all going to pay for this."[1]
Eventually, after a nineteen hour standoff and in front of several Chicago TV crews, Allen surrendered to the police without a shot being fired.
Three months later, Allen still seethed with resentment over the incident. Early in the afternoon of March 3, 1979, Allen visited a locksmith and glazier with a curious question. He wanted to know if the glass in Chicago police cruisers was bulletproof. The proprietor of the shop, Stanley Evans, told him that only Chicago riot wagons had bulletproof glass.
Two and a half hours later, Allen parked his brown Ford across the street from Chicago police officers William Bosak and Roger van Schaik as they were conducting a routine traffic stop. With the officer's back to him, Allen opened fire on Bosak with a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol, emptying the clip. Bosak was hit three times and was killed instantly.
Allen drew a second pistol and exited his car to engage Van Schaik--who was on the opposite side of the unmarked police cruiser from Allen--in a gun battle, the two men circling the officers' car. Both men exhausted their ammunition without scoring a hit. Allen then returned to his car and retrieved a .30 caliber carbine rifle, again opening fire on Van Schaik, wounding but not killing the officer. The rifle jammed after two or three shots. While Van Schaik lay wounded on the ground, Allen retrieved the .38 caliber service revolver from the corpse of Officer Bosak. He returned to the front of the car where the wounded Van Schaik lay, pleading for his life, and executed him with two shots to the face at point blank range.
Allen remained on the scene until two other officers arrived in response to the distress call. He initially fled in his car but quickly returned, attempting to shoot the officers as he drove past. Several more squad cars arrived in pursuit of Allen, still firing from the windows with the service revolver and a now unjammed carbine. After two collisions with police cruisers and one with a CTA bus, Allen was finally stopped when Officer Lawrence Rapien intentionally steered his cruiser head on into Allen's car.
Several guns were confiscated from Allen's car, along with about 250 rounds of ammunition, and a notebook containing the names, addresses, license plate numbers and phone numbers of several police officers and Everette Braden, the judge who had signed the search warrant authorizing Chicago Police to enter Allen's home.

(Notorious Wah Mee Massacre killer)

(see also Benjamin Ng)

The Wah Mee massacre was a multiple homicide on February 18, 1983, in which Kwan Fai "Willie" Mak, Wai-Chiu "Tony" Ng, and Benjamin Ng gunned down 14 people in the Wah Mee gambling club on Maynard Alley S. just south of S. King Street in Seattle's Chinatown. Thirteen of their victims lost their lives, but one survived to testify against the three in one of Seattle's highest-profile trials ever. It remains the deadliest mass murder in the state's history.

The Wah Mee club operated illegally in a basement space in a predominantly Chinese neighborhood. The club's regulars included many wealthy restaurant-owners, several of whom were among the victims. Security at the club was based in part on a system of passing through multiple successive doors, which had been used in similar Chinatown gambling dens for generations, and had usually been quite effective. Mak and his accomplices defeated the system only because they were known and trusted by the people at the club. Their presumed intent was to leave no witnesses, since club patrons could readily identify them, as, in fact, the one survivor, Wai Y. Chin, did. In fact, Mak had been planning the robbery for weeks, and he enlisted Benjamin Ng, and later Tony Ng.

On February 24, 1983, Benjamin Ng and Willie Mak were charged with 13 counts of aggravated first-degree murder. In August 1983 Benjamin Ng was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. In October 1983, Willie Mak was convicted of murder and sentenced to die.

On January 8, 1991 U.S. District Judge William Dwyer overturned Willie Mak's death sentence, saying Mak's attorneys failed to present evidence on their client's background that could have saved his life. On April 29, 2002 a King County Superior Court judge ruled that Mak will not face the death penalty because the 1983 jury wasn't asked to determine how much of a role he had in the crime. He was later sentenced to life in prison.

Kyle Bell,A child killer and sex offender escaped from a prisoner transport bus in New Mexico. Kyle has been in trouble since he was a child growing up in South Dakota and has an extensive criminal background. Kyles’ family sought mental health counseling for him when he was only 3 years old - when Kyle began showing signs of abnormal sexual behavior and a violent side. "He would go from the sweetest little 3-year-old you ever saw to almost violent, uncontrolled behavior."
Authorities said Kyle Bell, who was sentenced to life in prison in September for killing 11-year-old Jeanna North of Fargo in June 1993, still has a charming side, especially with single women.
Kyle's numerous arrests for traffic violations, burglary, assault and sex offenses while growing up in towns north of Aberdeen, S.D., are entrenched in the minds of Tom and Kim Bell. The couple lived next door to Kyle for three years in the 1970s, when Bell was living with his grandparents and his disabled father, who had divorced Kyle's mother. Tom and Kim Bell accuse their nephew of molesting their two daughters and of killing family pets. They said when Kyle Bell was an eighth-grader, he became angry at his grandfather for not taking him to a basketball game and fired a shotgun at him. The grandfather was not hurt. But throughout his life, the Bells said, Kyle was a smooth talker who could befriend anyone. "I've often likened him to Ted Bundy," said Kim Bell, referring to a serial killer executed in Florida. "If you met him, you would take him home to meet your daughter."
The woman who was living with Bell in Dallas when he was arrested after his excape from prison, said she had no idea he was an escaped child molester and killer. The woman, who has five young children, met Bell in a Dallas homeless shelter. She said she was fleeing an abusive situation. Bell, using the name Christopher Larson, found a job and apartment and lived with the woman and her children -- four preteen daughters and an 18-month-old son.

Lawrence Bittaker was serving time for assault with a deadly weapon when he met Roy Norris at the California Men's Colony at San Luis Obispo. A convicted rapist, Norris recognized a soul-mate in Bittaker, and they soon became inseparable. While still confined, they decided on a plan to kidnap, rape and murder teenage girls "for fun," as soon as they were freed. If all went well, they planned to kill at least one girl of each "teen" age, from 13 to 19, recording the events on tape and film. After being Paroled 1978, Bittaker began making preparations for the crime spree, obtaining a van that he dubbed "Murder Mack."
Norris was released on June 15, 1979, He quickly hurried to Bittaker's side, anxious to carry out their plans. Soon several girls vanished, never to be seen again. Ages 16, 18, 13, 15,
Then the body of another 16 year old was found strangled with a coat hanger, she had first been subjected to "sadistic and barbaric abuse," her breasts and face mutilated, arms slashed, her body covered with bruises.
Detectives got their break on November 20, when Bittaker and Norris were arrested on charges stemming from a assault on a female victim who had been sprayed with Mace, abducted in a silver van, and raped before she managed to escape. Tape recordings of one of the victims final moments were recovered from the "Murder Mack," and detectives counted 500 photographs of smiling young women among the suspects' effects.
On February 9, 1980, Norris led deputies to shallow graves in San Dimas Canyon and the San Gabriel Mountains, where skeletal remains were recovered. An ice pick still stuck out from the victims skull, and the remains bore other marks of cruel mistreatment. Charging the prisoners with five counts of murder, Los Angeles County Sheriff Peter Pitchess announced that Bittaker and Norris might be linked to the disappearance of 30 or 40 other victims.
By February 20, the stack of candid photographs had yielded nineteen missing girls, but none were ever traced, and Norris had apparently exhausted his desire to talk.

Larry Hoover is the leader of the Gangster Disciple Nation gang in Chicago. Hoover is reputed to be the leader of the gang in spite of the fact that he has been in prison continuously since 1973. He became involved with street gangs at the age of 12. By the age of 16 Hoover had been arrested several times and had survived several shootings.

On February 26, 1973, Hoover and another Gangster Disciple, Andrew Howard shot and killed William Young over a debt. Both were later arrested and sentenced to 150-200 years in prison. Howard was paroled in 1992. In 1974, after the death of David Barksdale, Hoover was appointed the new leader of the GDN.

Even in prison, Hoover gave orders to his gang members and directed their illegal drug trade. On July 22, 1978, an inmate riot at the Pontiac Correctional Center in Illinois resulted in the death of three corrections officers. This uprising was rumored to have been ordered by Hoover. 21 inmates were indicted; ten were acquitted after an 11-week trial. Charges against Hoover and seven others were eventually dropped.

Hoover and the leaders of other gang organizations in Chicago came together to form the Folk Nation alliance, a pact meant to settle disputes and instill a more peaceful environment behind prison walls and on the streets. Hoover cultivated an image as a community leader and a reformed inmate. He was eventually transferred to a minimum security prison in Vienna, Illinois but his parole was denied repeatedly.

Hoover's continued involvement with the gang prompted a federal investigation. The five-year undercover investigation by the federal government led to drug conspiracy, extortion, and other criminal charges against Hoover. On August 31, 1995 Hoover was arrested at the Vienna Correctional Center by federal agents and moved to the MCC Chicago. In 1997 Hoover and six associates were found guilty of these charges, and Hoover was transferred to a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana to serve a life sentence.

Hoover is currently serving a life sentence at the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility (ADX) in Florence, Colorado.

Old Colony Correctional Center

Bridgewater, MA 02324

Patrick Kirk sentenced the former janitor from North Adams, Mass., to 25 years to life in state prison.

Before handing down the sentence, Judge Kirk said he often wondered if he was capable of imposing the death penalty.
"You have answered that in the affirmative," Judge Kirk told Mr. Lent, who is not eligible for capital punishment.
The judge offered Mr. Lent (see photo) a second chance to reveal Sara's whereabouts, but Mr. Lent's only words were yes or no answers to the judge's questions.
Sara, 12, disappeared in August 1993 while riding her bike to summer Bible school about a mile from her home in Norwich Corners, a rural community about 15 miles south of Utica. Her body has never been recovered, and prosecutors had hoped the 47-year-old Mr. Lent would reveal its location in exchange for a transfer to federal prison, which Mr. Lent had asked for.
The Woods tried a final time to persuade Mr. Lent to change his mind, using stories about their daughter and verses from the Bible to get him to repent.
"Whether you accept and repent or go to hell and damnation with Satan, that's your choice," said Robert Wood. "What you will do will have no effect on us, because we will be reunited with Sara in heaven."
While the Woods spoke, Mr. Lent stared vacantly ahead, nodding only when they repeated their belief that Sara was in heaven. He also grimaced, as if near tears, as Sara's mother recounted part of Mr. Lent's confession. Mrs. Wood detailed how Mr. Lent kidnapped Sara, forced her into the woods, struck her with a tree limb, and buried her in a shallow grave without ever checking to see if she was indeed dead.
Mrs. Wood then described her daughter, showing Mr. Lent photos of her, describing her love of dancing and poetry, and her faith in God.
She then told Mr. Lent: "This is probably a waste of time trying to express to you that she was a person. You are her murderer."
Mr. Lent will never actually get the chance to serve his New York sentence. He will be returned to Massachusetts, where he is serving life without parole for the 1990 slaying of 12-year-old Jimmy Bernardo in Pittsfield, Mass.
Mr. Lent was scheduled to be sentenced two months ago after he admitted last October to kidnapping and killing Sara. But at the insistence of Sara's parents, Judge Kirk agreed to a two-month delay in the hope that Mr. Lent would disclose the whereabouts of Sara's body.
Outside the courtroom, Mr. Lent's mother, Lois Wood, who sat across from Sara's parents as her son was sentenced, continued to claim her son was innocent, saying that he did not speak out because he was terrorized and tortured in jail.
"They sentenced an innocent man," Mr. Lent's mother said.
Mr. Lent's attorneys said they will appeal.

(Dirty NYPD Cop connected to the Mafia)

(see also Stephen Caracappa)

Louis Eppolito is a former New York Police Department (NYPD) police detective who worked on behalf of the New York Mafia while they committed various illegal activities.

Louis Eppolito is the son of Ralph Eppolito and knew a number of members of the Cosa Nostra through his family. Louis Eppolito's paternal uncle and cousin, James Eppolito and James Eppolito Jr., were also both made Gambino members in Capo Nino Gaggi's crew. They were eventually murdered by both Nino Gaggi and Gambino family soldier, Roy DeMeo, with the permission of Gambino family boss, Paul Castellano. However, Eppolito claimed to have avoided the Mafia lifestyle and therefore became a New York City police detective, a job which garnered him a number of headlines. He was first a suspect in a corruption case where he was suspected of passing New York Police Department intelligence reports on to Rosario Gambino, a distant relative of Carlo Gambino and Paul Castellano, the former leaders of the Gambino crime family, in 1983, but was cleared. Eppolito retired as a police officer in late 1990. In his book, he cites his tarnished reputation over the Rosario Gambino corruption case as a reason for leaving. Over the next decade he had a minor career as an actor, with small roles in movies including Predator 2 and the gangster film Goodfellas. In 1992, Eppolito wrote a book, Mafia Cop: The Story of an Honest Cop Whose Family Was the Mob, in which he spoke of his attempts to avoid being dragged into the criminal life and fight for his reputation as a result of the Rosario Gambino corruption case.

In 2006, he and Stephen Caracappa were convicted of labor racketeering, extortion, narcotics, illegal gambling, obstruction of justice, eight murders and conspiracy to commit murder. These charges stemmed from illegal activities in the 1980s and 1990s in New York City, as well as illegal activities in Las Vegas during the 2000s. Both were sentenced to life in federal prison.

(Infamous murder of his parents. First trial was televised live on Court TV [TruTV] )

(Note: his name is actually Joseph Lyle Menendez so people may want to address the envelope this way)

(See also Erik Menendez)

Joseph Lyle Menendez, and brother, Erik Galen Menendez were convicted in a highly publicized trial for the 1989 shotgun murders in of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, wealthy residents of Beverly Hills, California.

The murders occurred on August 20, 1989, in the den of the family's home in Beverly Hills. At around 10pm the neighbors reported hearing what sounded like firecrackers, but dismissed it as nothing to be concerned about. Jose was shot pointblank in the back of the head with a Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun. Kitty, awakened by the shots, sprang from the couch and made a run for the hallway but was shot in the leg, causing it to break. She then slipped in her own blood that had run down her leg; and, when she fell, she was then shot several times in the arm, chest, and face, leaving her unrecognizable. They were then both shot in the kneecap to make the crime appear mob related. The brothers then drove off and dumped their shotguns on Mulholland Drive and bought tickets at a local movie theater, seeing the movie Batman to use as an alibi. Then at 11:47 pm when the brothers returned home, Lyle called 911 and cried, "Somebody killed my parents!" Initially, the police did not consider the brothers as suspects.

In the months following the murders, the brothers led a life of luxury and lavish spending, later adding to investigators' suspicions that they had been involved in their parents' deaths. Lyle bought an expensive Rolex watch, a Porsche Carrera, and Chuck's Spring Street Cafe, a Buffalo Wings restaurant. Erik also hired a full-time tennis coach and competed in a tournament in Israel. They left the Beverly Hills mansion unoccupied and lived in 2 separate penthouse apartments in Marina Del Rey. They drove around LA in their late mother's Mercedes-Benz SL convertible, ate costly lunches and dinners, and went on overseas trips to the Caribbean and London. Prosecutors later alleged that the brothers spent about $1 million in their first six months as orphans. The police did not suspect them until Erik confessed to his psychiatrist, who, after Lyle threatened him, told the police. On December 8, 1992, the Menendez brothers were indicted by the Los Angeles County Grand Jury on charges that they had murdered their parents.

The Menendez brothers and the murder of their parents became a national sensation when Court TV broadcast the trial in 1993. The initial trial ended in two deadlocked juries (while the brothers were tried together, each had a separate jury). Los Angeles District Attorney Gil Garcetti immediately announced the brothers would be retried.

The second trial was somewhat less publicized, in part because Judge Stanley Weisberg refused to allow cameras in the courtroom. Both brothers were subsequently convicted of two counts of first degree murder, plus conspiracy to commit murder. In the penalty phase of the trial, the jury did not support death sentences for the brothers but instead returned recommendations of life in prison.

On July 2, 1996, Weisberg sentenced Lyle and Erik Menendez to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Judge Weisberg sentenced the brothers to consecutive sentences for the murders and the charge of conspiracy to commit murder. On September 10, 1996, the California Department of Corrections separated the Menendez brothers, sending them to different prisons.

Mark Riebe

Gulf CI
500 Ike Steele Road
Wewahitchka, Florida 32465-0010

FORT WALTON BEACH - It could be the confession Ronda Lynn Taylor's family has waited nearly 18 years to hear, or it could just be another heartbreaking dead end.
Convicted killer Mark Riebe has confessed to Taylor's 1990 brutal murder. In fact, he's admitted to enough murders to be considered one of the area's few "serial killers."
Investigators with the Bay County Sheriff's Office believe through confessions and other evidence that Riebe is responsible for three unsolved cases in the Panhandle, including Taylor's.
Riebe, now 48, is already serving a life sentence at the Gulf County Correctional Institute for the Aug. 6, 1989, abduction and killing of a Santa Rosa County convenience store clerk. Donna Callahan was a 29-year-old mother and four months pregnant when she was kidnapped at work, killed and put in a trunk for two days before being dumped on a farm in DeFuniak Springs.
Taylor, 23, was found at about noon Saturday, July 7. Ronald Browning had picked up his paycheck and was walking home down Tupelo Avenue in Fort Walton Beach. It was the first day of his vacation. He passed by a silver Buick and glanced in the window.
"I thought it was a blow-up, a balloon doll," Browning recalled. "For some reason, I went back to check. I couldn't believe it. I ran into the nursing home and told them to call the police."
Taylor's nude body was found "crumpled" in the backseat of her car, according to investigators' statements made in 1990. Her head was against the rear seat, just below window level. Her throat had been cut and she had stab wounds on her hands and arms. There were also scratches on her legs.
Her wounds led Fort Walton Beach police to believe she tried to fight off her attacker.
There wasn't much evidence to go on, just a few strands of hair that might have belonged to Taylor's killer and 15 names scribbled on paper found in her purse. Police weren't able to find a definite connection between that evidence and a suspect.
Both Anthony and Taylor's mother, Claudette Taylor, remember Riebe's name mentioned early on by investigators. However, there never seemed to be enough evidence to pursue that lead vigorously.
Investigators with the Bay County Sheriff's Department are hoping Riebe's confessions are truthful. They believe he's confessed to murders he didn't commit, but one confession would close an unsolved homicide in Panama City Beach, as well.
In 1992, Pamela Ray, 36, disappeared from a motel parking lot. Her car was locked with her purse and her two young children inside. Her body has never been recovered.
"I believe that he did do multiple murders," said Bay County Sheriff's Investigator Mitch Pitts. "I think he exaggerated at some point the number of murders he did, and that makes it difficult to prove which ones he's being truthful about."
Investigators from Fort Walton Beach and Bay County are optimistic DNA evidence from lab tests will provide enough evidence to prove Riebe's confession is true. Fort Walton Beach Detective Stephen Spinella has been on the Taylor case since 1990. He was the first detective on scene after her body was discovered.

Martin Kipp D67100
San Quentin State Prison
San Quentin, CA 94964

Kipp A full-blooded Blackfoot Indian, was abandonedjust under the age of two by his prostitute mother and then was adopted by relatives. He was raised by an alcoholic "father" who frequently beat Martin in public. After his guardian's death, Kipp left the reservation and joined the Marine Corps.
In June of 1981 he was accused of abducting and raping a woman he met at a tavern in Long Beach. Martin went AWOL tyring to avoid prosecution but eneded up getting cought. He was then convicted of rape and sentenced to three years in prison, serving an actual nineteen months before his release in 1983.
Now a registered sex offender heFinaly struck again killing and raping 19-year-old Tiffany Frizzell. Her body was found On September 17, by a maid in her hotel room. Her body was stretched out on her bed, stripped naked from the waist. She had been beaten, raped, and strangled in a cruel assault that the medical examiner called "animalistic," so swift and violent that self defense was probably impossible. Fifteen months later he killed again.. On January 3, 1985,Another victim was found in Huntington Beach; inside, beneath a blanket, lay her body, fully-dressed, but with her clothing disarranged. Like Tiffany Frizzell, she had been strangled. In the minds of homicide investigators, there was nothing to initially connect the crimes. Los Angeles and Orange Counties chalk up several hundred murder victims every year, and strangulation is a common mode of death. Moreover, there were obvious dissimilarities: Tiffany Frizzell, was white, Antaya Howard black; the former had been killed in her motel room, while the latter was abducted from the street, abandoned in her car. In short, aside from cause of death, there was no pattern visible to overworked investigators. Working from a matchbook found beside Antaya Howard's body, officers checked out an all-night restaurant in Newport Beach, where witnesses recalled the victim talking to a man identified as Martin Kipp. A quick scan of Kipp's record put detectives on alert; they visited his Long Beach address and discovered he had lately been evicted by the paying tenants, who returned the evening of December 30 to find Kipp sleeping in a closet, clothing torn, deep scratches on his face. While they initially accepted Kipp's explanation that he had suffered a "hard night," his continual, mooching of food and liquor led his long-suffering roommates to show him the gate in early January. The coincidence of dates was damning, and a check of fingerprints on file matched Kipp's with latent prints recovered from Antaya Howard's car. Coincidentally arrested in Laguna Beach, on outstanding traffic warrants, Kipp was remanded to Orange County authorities for booking on a charge of rape and murder. Once in custody, Kipp faced a second murder charge filed in the case of Tiffany Frizzell, with police keeping mum on the nature of their evidence . Kipp's trial, for murdering Antaya Howard, lasted full weeks in August 1987. Convicted of murder, he was sentenced

Michael Alig (born South Bend, Indiana, April 29, 1966) is the co-founding member of the notorious Club Kids, a group of young clubgoers led by long time best friend James St. James and Alig in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1996 Alig was convicted of the murder of Andre "Angel" Melendez in a confrontation over a drug debt.

Angel" Melendez worked at the Limelight, and after the bar's closure by federal agents, Angel was fired. With no job he moved into Alig's apartment. Increasingly affected by substance abuse, Alig and his friend Robert "Freez" Riggs murdered Angel after an argument over many things including a long-standing drug debt. Alig has stated many times that he was so high on drugs that the events are quite cloudy. On December 9, 1996, Robert "Freez" Riggs confessed to police that on March 17, 1996:

On a Sunday in March of 1996 I was at home ... and Michael Alig and Angel Melendez were loudly arguing ... and getting louder. I opened the room and started towards the other bedroom ... at which point Michael Alig was yelling, "Help me!" "Get him off of me" [Angel] started shaking him violently and banging him against the wall. He was yelling "You better get my money or I'll break your neck" ... I grabbed the hammer ... and hit Angel over the head...
—Robert "Freez" Riggs,
Then according to Freez he hit Melendez a total of three times on the head. Then Alig grabbed a pillow and tried to smother him. When Melendez was unconscious Freez went to the other room and when he came back he noticed a broken syringe on the floor. However, Alig's story was that he injected Angel with Drano, while Freez claims that Alig poured it down Angel's throat and duct-taped his mouth closed. After a few days, the body began to smell. Alig injected himself with heroin, cut the legs off the corpse, and stuffed him in a box and afterward threw the corpse into the Hudson River.
