When 28-year-old Heather Bogle took a job at a Whirlpool washing-machine factory in Sandusky, Ohio, USA, she hoped it’d be temporary.
Having just finished nursing school, the young mum dreamt of a new career in healthcare.
To build a better life for her 5-year-old daughter.
Heather did night shifts.
But although she worked hard and was well-liked amongst colleagues, behind closed doors, she was having a tough time.
Despite her best efforts, Heather had failed one of her nursing exams.
She was devastated.
And her one-year relationship with girlfriend Carmella Badillo had ended, as the couple rarely saw each other.
On 9 April 2015, Heather clocked off at 6.17am.
Then, she simply vanished.
When she failed to collect her little girl from school, Heather’s mother panicked and raised the alarm.
The following evening, Heather’s car was traced to a block of flats in nearby Clyde, a mile from the Whirlpool factory.
Inside, police made a grisly discovery…
Heather had been brutally murdered and stuffed in the boot of her own car.
She’d been savagely beaten, her hair hacked, and her fingernails cut down to the cuticles.
Her wrists and ankles were bound, and defensive wounds on her hands suggested she’d fought back before ultimately being shot twice in the back.
Locals were shocked and frightened, her family utterly devastated.
Tributes poured in, and friends set up a fundraiser for Heather’s daughter in the mum’s name.
I am distraught that there will be no more of your smile at work. You will always be in my thoughts, wrote co-worker Daniel Myers, with a donation of $125 (around £90).
Detective Sean O’Connell ran the investigation. Swore to get to the bottom of what happened to Heather, and immediately looked into her relationship with ex-girlfriend Carmella.
But although text messages and phone calls had turned acrimonious between the two, O’Connell was satisfied she had nothing to do with Heather’s murder.
Tributes poured in, a fundraiser set up in her name
Days later, O’Connell received an email tip from a Whirlpool employee, urging him to investigate Heather’s colleague Daniel Myers.
But O’Connell had other ideas.
He’d become suspicious of one of the tenants living in the flats where Heather had been found.
Single mum Keyona Bor had a good job at a nursing home and was only interested in providing for her kids, but O’Connell took a dislike to her.
Keyona’s friend, Omar Satchel, who’d been at her flat on the night of the murder, had served time for firearms and violence.
It was enough to convince O’Connell that the two had killed Heather.
Without revealing his source, O’Connell then maintained a third accomplice, Kayree Jeffrey, had disposed of the murder weapon.
O’Connell publicly named the three suspects, but didn’t have enough evidence to arrest them.
Traces of DNA were recovered from underneath Heather’s cuticles – which didn’t match any of O’Connell’s suspects.
But though they always maintained their innocence, he refused to rule them out.
For more than a year, he hounded them and even submitted a report to prosecutors omitting the vital DNA information which pointed to their innocence.
This was flagged by officials, and in June 2016, O’Connell was taken off the case.
Heather’s family feared her killer might never be caught.
In 2017, detective Chris Hilton took the case and vowed to solve the murder.
By gaining access to Heather’s Gmail account, Hilton discovered her exact movements had been stored by Google from the moment she’d left work at 6.17am.
GPS coordinates placed her just a few miles from the factory, 13 minutes after she was last seen.
It was revealed to be the home of Daniel Myers.
On 26 May 2017, police descended on Myers’ home.
‘Did you know her?’ they asked.
‘Very, very little,’ he said.
Odd, considering the heartfelt condolence message and donation he had given.
Five days on, Myers’ DNA was found to match that under Heather’s cuticles.
He was arrested and charged with her murder.
Afterwards, a criminal investigation was launched against ex-detective Sean O’Connell.
It showed he’d falsified police reports and ignored an email suggesting Daniel Myers could be the killer, just days into the investigation.
In September 2018, O’Connell pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and was sentenced to 24 months imprisonment.
In a statement, Keyona Bor said he destroyed her life, and she had lost her job, her flat and reputation. She, Omar Satchel and Kayree Jeffrey were all cleared of the murder.
In February 2019, Daniel Myers, then 49, pleaded guilty to the kidnap and murder of Heather Bogle, with sexual intent. He was sentenced to life without parole.
Myers admitted luring Heather to his home to console her after she had failed her nursing exam and received some upsetting texts.
Prosecutor Tim Braun told the court that Myers had attempted to seduce Heather, but had become aggressive when she had rejected him.
‘He physically overpowered her, beat her into submission, handcuffed her…and tortured her for a long time.’
She was then fatally shot, before Myers tried to cover his tracks by removing DNA evidence from her body and his home.
For two long years, Myers hid in plain sight – even attending his victim’s funeral.
Calling him ‘The Devil’, Heather’s ex-girlfriend Carmella said, ‘I do not forgive you. You took away a mother and a friend, and a loved one that no one could ever get back.’
HAD HE KILLED BEFORE?
After Daniel Myers’ arrest, 10 women came forward claiming he’d raped them. And Loriann Haley is convinced Myers shot her sister, Leigh Ann Sluder, in 2009. Leigh Ann, Myers’ ex girlfriend, was found dead with a gunshot wound to her chest, a long-barrelled rifle lying next to her in bed. Authorities ruled her death a suicide, which has been upheld. Yet Loriann says, ‘I knew Danny had killed her.’ Observing how rationally and meticulously Myers attempted to destroy DNA evidence in Heather’s murder, Prosecutor Tim Braun said, ‘That usually takes experience.’

All of the killers in the gallery above murdered people in horrible, gruesome ways. But Ted Bundy stands apart for the depraved ways he slaughtered his victims. In just four years between 1974 and 1978, Bundy raped and murdered dozens of women across multiple states. He confessed to killing 30 young women and girls, but his true victim count could be much higher.
Bundy, who was born in 1946 and had a turbulent childhood, attacked his first known victim in 1974. Then, he broke into the apartment of 18-year-old Karen Sparks in Washington State and bludgeoned and sexually assaulted her with a metal rod from her bed frame. Sparks survived the brutal attack — just barely — but Bundy's future victims would not be so lucky.
He continued attacking young women in Washington and Oregon, often luring them in by pretending to struggle with crutches or a stack of books near his infamous Volkswagen Beetle, before he left to study at the University of Utah. There, Bundy continued to kill, often targeting teen girls.
While traveling to other states like Idaho and Colorado, Ted Bundy continued his spree. Arrested in 1975, he was able to escape from prison twice — murdering more victims while on the run — before his final arrest in 1978 ensured that he'd never walk free again. One investigator noted: "I would describe him being as close to being like the devil as anyone I ever met."
But Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgway, and Luis Garavito are just a few of the world's worst serial killers. Look through the gallery above to learn about more real-life monsters who once stalked the dark streets in the night.
Birthdate: November 24, 1946
Sun Sign: Sagittarius
Birthplace: Burlington
Died: January 24, 1989
Ted Bundy was an American serial killer who kidnapped, raped and murdered a number of women and girls during the mid and late 1970s. He ultimately confessed to his crimes and was sentenced to death by electric chair. Later, the life of one of the most notorious criminals of the late 20th century inspired a number of books and movies.

Terror At Lake Shawnee Amusement Park
In 1783 Mitchell Clay and his 13 children found some beautiful land in Princeton, West Virginia and decided to build their homestead there. People familiar with this slice of history say that the father truly may not have realized that his new land had been a Shawnee Native American trading post and burial ground; Mitchell may have honestly believed he was the first person there. Either way, this was a deadly mistake; understandably the Shawnee were none too pleased that their sacred grounds were suddenly inhabited by strangers. They quickly decided to do something about it, and Mitchell’s children would pay the ultimate price.
Young Tabitha Cole was attacked whilst washing clothes in the river, while her brothers Ezekiel and Bartley were taken from a field where they had been playing. The Shawnee stabbed and scalped Tabitha and Bartley; Ezekiel was taken to Chillicothe, Ohio, where he was promptly burnt at the stake. As soon as Mitchell heard that his children had been captured, he traveled to Chillicothe to save them; tragically he was just a few moments too late. The hysterical father took his children back home to bury, then retaliated by killing several Shawnee.
We’ll skip ahead to 1926, when Conley T. Snidow purchased the land and built Lake Shawnee Amusement Park. It was really a nice place; there were cabins, a dance hall, swimming pool, a lake with canoes and paddle boats, rides such as swings and a carousel. It was a very popular destination in it’s heyday, and thousands of people spent their hard earned money to vacation there with their families; it was especially loved by coal miners.
Once this place opened, more tragedy ensued. Several people were reported to have died in freak accidents at the park. One little girl was hit by a truck as she swung on the circle swing; another little boy drowned while swimming after getting his hand stuck in a drain pipe, this poor kid was not found until late that evening.
By 1966 the owner was forced to shut the place down as there had just been too many tragedies. In the 80’s it’s owners planned to use the land as a fun mudding spot, when archaeologists heard of this they decided to excavate the area. They found foods from all over, weapons, beads, all sorts of artifacts, and many, many ancient Native American corpses. It seems that most of those buried on the land had been children who’d passed away from malnutrition, anemia, etc. Some of the excavated bodies date back to the 1200’s. The land was not fully excavated, there are believed to be another 3,000 bodies there today, peacefully undisturbed.
Lake Shawnee Amusement Park still stands, and is available for visits. The family who owns the property today is more than happy to give tours, and last I checked they open it up every weekend in the month of October. If you go, make sure to have your camera ready. The place is widely reported to be very haunted – many unexplained things often happen, and a bloody little girl in a dress can often be seen by the swings which move on their own.

William Bush Robbery Murders In Alabama
William Bush was sentenced to death by the State of Alabama for two murders committed during robberies
According to court documents William Bush and Edward Pringle would enter a store and in the course of robbing it would shoot two men with one dying from his injuries: Larry Dominguez
After leaving the store William Bush and Edward Pringle would go to another store and shoot and kill Thomas Adams
William Bush would be arrested, convicted and sentenced to death
Where Is William Bush Now
William Bush is incarcerated at Holman Prison
William Bush Case
The state presented evidence showing that around 3:00 a.m., on July 26, 1981, appellant and a companion, Edward Lewis Pringle,[2] entered a Majik Market convenience store on Carter Hill Road in Montgomery, Alabama. When they entered, two people were in the store: Larry Dominguez, the store clerk, and his friend, Tony Holmes. Dominguez was in the restroom. Appellant pointed a pistol at Holmes and forced him toward the restroom at the rear of the store. When Dominguez opened the restroom door, appellant shot both Dominguez and Holmes with the pistol. Appellant then returned to the front of the store and attempted to open the cash register. Dominguez stumbled out of the restroom, and appellant shot him again. Appellant took two bags of “zodiac sign tags” from the store and departed. The first shot striking Dominguez passed through his chin, lodging in his neck and severing a large artery. The second shot striking Dominguez entered his right shoulder and passed through his lungs and heart. He died from the injuries caused by the second shot; however, the injuries sustained as a result of the first shot were potentially fatal. Holmes was shot in the neck and, although seriously injured, survived. He was able to give a description of his assailant and of the getaway automobile. He described the automobile as a 1973 whiteover-green Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
After leaving the Majik Market, appellant and Pringle drove to a Seven-Eleven convenience store on Narrow Lane Road in Montgomery, arriving there sometime prior to 4:00 a.m. Appellant entered the store and purchased a package of cigarettes from the clerk, Thomas Adams. After Adams opened the cash register, appellant forced him into an office area behind the counter and shot him in the head with the same pistol he had used to shoot Dominguez and Holmes. The shot to Adams’s head apparently killed him instantly. Appellant took from $20.00 to $30.00 from the cash register.

Donald Broadnax was sentenced to death by the State of Alabama for the murder of a woman and her grandson
According to court documents Donald Broadnax would fatally beat his wife and her four year old grandson: Hector Jan Stamps Broadnax, and DeAngelo Stamps
At the time of the murders Donald Broadnax was serving a 99 year sentence for murder and was out on work release
Donald Broadnax would be arrested, convicted and sentenced to death
Where Is Donald Broadnax Now
Donald Broadnax is incarcerated at Holman Prison
Donald Broadnax Case
“The evidence tended to show the following. In April 1996, Donald Broadnax, who had been convicted in 1978 for murder and who was serving a sentence of 99 years’ imprisonment, was residing at a work release center in Alexander City and working at Welborn Forest Products in Alexander City. In 1995 Broadnax married Hector Jan Stamps Broadnax, who at the time of the marriage had a three-year-old grandson, DeAngelo Stamps. Broadnax and Jan were having marital problems and Broadnax believed that Jan was partially responsible for a recent denial of parole. The evidence indicated that after 6:00 p.m. on April 25, 1996, Jan and DeAngelo delivered food to Broadnax at his workplace. Johnny Baker, an inmate at the work release center and Broadnax’s coworker at Welborn, testified that he saw Broadnax driving Jan’s car at Welborn that evening. 2 According to Baker, Broadnax stopped to talk with him and he saw a child in a child’s safety seat in the backseat. Baker testified that he was ‘pretty sure’ the child was alive when he talked with Broadnax.3
“At approximately 10:45 p.m. that same night, Mark Chastain, a [supervisor] at Welborn, found Broadnax inside a building while securing the building for the night. Chastain testified that he told Broadnax that the alarm had been set and that they had to exit the building. According to Chastain, when he asked Broadnax why he was still in the building, Broadnax stated that the work release van had dropped him off․ 4
“Kathy Chastain, Mark Chastain’s wife, testified that while she was outside the building waiting for her husband to secure the building, she saw an individual matching Broadnax’s description get out of a [white King-cab pickup truck] and run into the building.
“On April 25, 1996, Robert Williams and his wife were living across the street from a house in Birmingham that had in the past been used as a ‘crack-house’ and for prostitution. On that evening as Williams and his wife left their house at approximately 8:20 p.m., they noticed no cars were parked at the house across the street. When they returned at approximately 8:50 p.m., they saw a white Dodge Aries automobile parked behind the house. Because of the previous illegal activities occurring at the house, Williams telephoned the police and reported the presence of the car.
“Alondo McCurdy and Donna Smith, officers for the Birmingham Police Department, responded to the call and arrived at the residence at approximately 9:00 p.m. When they approached the parked car, they noticed blood on the ground behind the car and on the bumper. Based on their observations, they immediately radioed their supervisor and the paramedics, and secured the scene. It was later determined that the car belonged to Jan Broadnax.
“When the paramedics arrived, they opened the locked trunk and found the bodies of Jan and DeAngelo in the trunk. Both Jan and DeAngelo had been beaten. According to Dr. Robert Brissie, the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsies on the victims, blunt-force trauma, which could have been caused by the use of a piece of lumber such as the one found in the trunk with the bodies, caused the deaths of Jan and DeAngelo.5
“On April 27, 1996, Lawrence Hardnette, an inmate resident at the work release center in Alexander City, found a work uniform that did not belong to him stuffed under his bunk. At about the same time, James Smith, another inmate resident of the work release center, found a pair of Red Wing brand work boots under his bunk. The uniform and the boots were turned over to the supervisors and were later identified as belonging to Broadnax. Broadnax was the only one at the work center who wore Red Wing work boots; there were also identifying marks on the work uniforms indicating that the uniforms had been issued to Broadnax. When the work uniform and the boots were examined, bloodstains were found on the uniform [and the boots]. The analysis of the bloodstains [on the uniform] indicated that the deoxyribonucleic acid (‘DNA’) in these bloodstains matched the DNA of Jan and DeAngelo.6
“On the grounds at Welborn near a finishing products storage facility, employees found an earring that matched an earring found on the rear floorboard of Jan’s car. The evidence appeared to indicate that Jan was killed at Broadnax’s workplace in Alexander City, that her body was placed in the trunk of the car, and that the car was driven to Birmingham. Officer Vince Cunningham of the Birmingham Police Department testified that while conducting the investigation, he traveled from the location where the bodies were found in Birmingham to Broadnax’s workplace in Alexander City [several times and determined that the drive time was no more than one and one-half hours]. [Thus, a]ccording to Cunningham, Broadnax could have easily traveled the distance between the two locations within the time frame set out by the evidence.”

Christopher Barbour Murders Woman In Alabama
According to court documents Christopher Barbour would break into a home where he would sexually assault and murder Thelma Bishop Roberts. Christopher would rob the home and then set the house on fire
Christopher Barbour would be arrested, convicted and sentenced to death
Where Is Christopher Barbour Now
Christopher Barbour is incarcerated at Holman Prison
Christopher Barbour Case
The state’s evidence tended to show that on March 21, 1992, 16-year-old William Roberts found the naked and partially burned body of his mother, Thelma Bishop Roberts, lying on the floor of her bedroom. There was a white plastic trash bag over her head and a knife protruding from her chest. William Roberts testified that when he saw his mother’s body he removed the knife out from her chest and threw it across the room. He also removed the trash bag from her head and called the emergency police telephone number. William Roberts also testified that the jewelry that his mother always wore was missing.
Dr. Alan Stilwell, medical examiner for the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, performed an autopsy on the victim. It was his opinion that Thelma Roberts died as a result of nine stab wounds to her chest, one of which penetrated her left lung and one of which penetrated her heart, causing extensive internal bleeding. Two of the wounds had been inflicted with such force that they pierced her back. Dr. Stilwell further testified that the victim’s eyes were swollen from repeated blows to her head.
Barbour confessed and gave a detailed account of the facts surrounding Roberts’s murder. Barbour told police that on March 20, 1992, he, Chris Hester, and Mike Mitchell went to see, “Koon,” who was a friend of Hester’s and who lived on Manley Drive in Montgomery. Hester talked with someone at the door and discovered that Koon was not home. The three then went across the street to the victim’s house. Barbour stated that they entered the house, sat down in the living room, and started drinking beer. Hester and the victim started talking. Later, the victim left the living room and went to the back of the house. A few minutes later, Hester also went to the back of the house. Hester and the victim remained there for several minutes while Mitchell and Barbour stayed in the living room.
A short while later, Barbour and Mitchell heard loud noises coming from the back and went to investigate. They entered the bedroom and saw that the victim was naked and that Hester was wearing only his pants. Hester then hit the victim, and Barbour and Mitchell started hitting her about the head. The victim fell to the floor. Barbour and Mitchell got on either side of her and held her down while Hester had sex with her. After Hester got up and pulled on his pants, Barbour told the others that they could not leave because she could identify them. Barbour confessed that he then went to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and returned to the bedroom. He got on his knees and forcibly stabbed the victim several times. He left the knife in her body, stood up, walked to the closet, threw some things from the closet around her body, and set them on fire. As they fled from the house Barbour grabbed the smoke detector off the wall in the hallway and threw it in the living room.

H is breakthrough role may have been on the Disney Channel, but Shia LaBeouf’s entry to stardom was anything but squeaky clean. Desperate to escape a turbulent home life, he began stand-up comedy aged just ten with disgustingly dirty material. It led to an early role in US sitcom Even Stevens, which propelled him to fame, but by then he’d already had brushes with the law for shoplifting and trespass. In 2007 , aged 21, he spent two days in jail after a fight with a neighbour, and the following year, he was arrested for DUI after a car smash. He was later released.
In 2014 , the Transformers star caused shockwaves after drunkenly hurling abuse at the cast during a performance of Cabareton Broadway. At one point, he reportedly slapped the backside of actor Alan Cumming, before allegedly spitting on a cop while being arrested. He later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was ordered to complete a stint in rehab for alcoholism as part of his plea deal. However, three years later, he was arrested again during a drunken spat in the early hours on a street in Georgia, later being charged with disorderly conduct. He received a $1,000 fine, a one-year probation order, and was told to seek therapy to deal with anger and substance issues.
More recently, LaBeouf, 37, has faced a lawsuit from his ex Tahliah Debrett Barnett – better known as singer FKA twigs – for sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress. He has denied all allegations and a trial, originally set for April this year, is now due to go ahead in November.

Ed Grammer
Even though Ed had a good job, a nice home, a loving wife Dorothy and three children it wasn’t enough. It seems that he found what else he was looking for in Mathilda Mizibrocky, a woman who worked for the United Nations. The two of them met while enjoying a night out at the bowling alley. It didn’t take too long before they found their way into bed together.
Unfortunately for Mathilda, she had no idea that her wonderful Ed was not on the market despite dropping numerous hints that he should ask her to marry him. He put her off äwith a number of excuses, the primary of which being their different choices of religion Ed was a Protestant and Mathilda was Roman Catholic. Still, she held out hope and figured if they continued with their activities he might just change his mind one day.
When Dorothy’s father ended up dying she left New York City for Baltimore to stay with her grieving mother. For Ed, this seemed too good to be true. With his wife out of the house, he had ample opportunity to spend as much time as he wished with Mathilda. He told Dorothy that she should spend as much time away as she felt she needed to. It would be months before husband and wife were to reunite, during which time Ed took Mathilda to Chicago for a two-week vacation. While there he was so preoccupied with his mistress that he never wrote his wife a single letter and she began to get concerned.
She called his office to speak with him but was only able to reach his secretary Jean Bilelo. Instead of ratting her boss out she sent him a wire to contact Dorothy. Ed called his wife and made the excuse that his letters (none of which he wrote) must have gotten lost on their way to her. He tried to put her mind at ease but it seems that this is the point in the story that she began to suspect something was going on behind her back.
All this time Mathilda continued to pressure Ed into tying the knot. He continued to point to spiritual differences as the reason they hadn’t done so yet but it was getting more and more difficult to prop up the excuses. Even Dorothy had started to make snide remarks that led him to believe she might know more than she was telling him. She was also threatening to return home in spite of her ill and grieving mother.
In an attempt to convince Dorothy that nothing was going on Ed made a trip to Baltimore to visit his wife. On August 19, 1952, the two of them spent the entire day together before taking a pit stop for drinks before Ed was scheduled to return to New York by train. According to Ed, he indulged in five or six scotches and water while at the bar. Dorothy herself sipped on only one the entire time.
Sometime after midnight on August 20 Officer Paul Hardesty and Sergeant John Eurite could only stand by and watch as a car, seemingly without a driver, sped down the street and ricocheted off a telephone pole and careened onto an embankment and rolled onto its side before rolling onto its side 30 feet from where they were standing. When they looked inside the car they discovered the body of Dorothy Grammer.
Their experienced eyes told them that the crash hadn’t been the reason for this woman’s death. The car’s engine was still running and someone had lodged a rock under the gas peddle. Her head had sustained numerous blows and the interior of the car showed no sign of damage. Also, her purse and eyeglasses were missing from the car. it seemed whoever had killed Dorothy had hoped the car would have crashed, causing a fiery inferno that removed any evidence that a crime had been committed.
It wouldn’t be until the next day that the deceased was identified after which Ed Grammer was notified of his wife’s tragic death. When police learned he’d been in her company only an hour before her death he was brought into the station for questioning. After several hours of interrogation, he finally confessed but gave no explanation for doing it. He simply said he had been drunk on the scotch and after stepping out of the car at the train station had picked up a pipe he found at his feet and beat his wife to death with it. He claimed to not remember if he started the car afterward or placed the rock under the peddle. All he could recall was staggering down the road and catching his train back home to New York. Ed took the pen he was offered and signed his confession, but the story didn’t end there.
The problem with Ed’s statement was simple. There were things that he seemingly chose to remember and details he forgot. Despite his inebriated state at the time he killed Dorothy Ed still remembered to take the documents with him that he would turn in the next day at work and to take the suit he was wearing the night before to the dry cleaners. It was the thing he kept out of the confession though that made them the most suspicious once it came to light. That thing was Mathilda.
Even though Ed had confessed to police he acquired the assistance of a competent lawyer to defend him. With this help, he stepped back from his confession and claimed to have never killed Dorothy. He also said that he would have said anything to the police when they questioned him so he could get some sleep.
When it came time for Ed to enter a plea at trial he claimed to be not guilty. This left the prosecution in a bind. With nothing but the confession that was under protest, they had nothing to tie Ed to Dorothy’s murder. No weapon had been found and there were no witnesses to the crime. That is when the prosecution finally learned of Mathilda.
After they located her she spoke of her never-ending love for Ed. She told them that he had always pointed to religion as the reason for the two of them not being married. She now understood the real reason was his marriage to Dorothy.
With this new bit of information the prosecution now finally had a motive for murder. The defense tried to argue that if Ed had killed his wife that it had been a spur-of-the-moment decision, not a planned act. They pointed out that he could have divorced Dorothy and married Mathilda, something she would have gladly done even though her Roman Catholic upbringing strictly forbade her to do so.
Before the proceedings had begun Ed had decided to have a trial by judge rather than by jury. There was no doubt in his mind that the defendant was guilty, but of what crime? First-degree murder carried with it a required death sentence, while second-degree murder meant life imprisonment. So it was up to him whether Ed would live or die.
Ed Grammer would be found guilty of first-degree murder. His appeal would be rejected by the Court of Appeals in the fall of 1953 and on June 11, 1954, he died at the end of a rope for killing his wife.

LETBY GIVEN LIFE FOR BABY MURDERS
CRIME NEWS CASES UPDATE
Neonatal nurse Lucy Letby has been given a whole life order and will never be freed from prison after being convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others.
During the televised sentencing on 21 August, judge Mr Justice Goss detailed each tragic case, before saying, “This was a cruel, calculated and cynical campaign of child murder involving the smallest and most vulnerable of children, [done] knowing that your actions were causing significant physical suffering and would cause untold mental suffering.” He added, “There was a deep malevolence bordering on sadism in your actions,” before handing down the order, saying, “During the course of this trial, you have coldly denied any responsibility… you have no remorse. In their totality, the offences of murder and attempted murder were of exceptionally high seriousness and just punishment according to law requires a whole life order for every offence.”
The court had previously heard impact statements from the parents of Letby's victims, all babies who had been injected with air, or poisoned with milk or insulin, while she worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Hereford between June 2015 and June 2016. One mother, whose little girl was killed, said, “I don't think we will ever get over the fact that our daughter was tortured until she had no fight left in her, and everything she went through over her short life was deliberately done by someone who was supposed to protect her.”
Letby – who is now Britain's worst-ever female serial killer – did not attend court for the sentencing, in what was described by one devastated mother as a “final act of wickedness from a coward”. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak responded to 33-year-old Letby's refusal to face the dead children's families by saying, “I think it's cowardly that people who commit such horrendous crimes do not face their victims and hear first-hand the impact that their crimes have had on them and their families and loved ones. We are looking at changing the law to make sure that happens.”
Letby was convicted at Manchester Crown Court last month after a nine-month trial. In a handwritten confession, which was used as evidence, she wrote, “I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough to care for them. I am a horrible, evil person.” Despite deliberating for over three weeks, the jury was unable to reach a verdict on six further counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors were given until mid-September to request a retrial. Police are also now investigating thousands of potential further incidents at hospitals where Letby worked. ■

Reports are being drawn up on a 36-year-old man who believed he was sending sexual messages to a 14-year-old girl.
David Nicol, described as a prisoner of HMP Dumfries, appeared at the town’s sheriff court and pleaded guilty to the offence.
He was charged that between June 4 and July 18 this year at Lockerbie Road, Dumfries, he communicated indecently with a person he believed to be a child called“Katie Wilson” aged 14 but who was in fact an adult and sent her sexual written communications to her via social media and attempted to communicate indecently with a child.
Nicol confessed and graphic details were heard by the court.
Depute fiscal Sean Maer told how he told the woman decoy via social media that he was 36 and asked the“girl”her age and she replied that she was 14.
Mr Maer said:“He asked when she turned 16 and was told June.
He replied:‘You are a little young for me. I will be almost 38 by the time I can meet you.’
“He said he would have sexual contact but not until she was 16.”
The court heard the two had more conversations and eventually Nicol told her what he would like to do with her sexually in sordid detail and as it was read out he bowed his head in shame for a few moments in the dock and covered his eyes briefly with his hand.
Mr Maer then told how a meeting was arranged for Dumfries and livestreamed by a vigilante group near a town centre venue before the police were called and Nicol was arrested.
The depute fiscal said:“While being conveyed to the police station he said:‘This is ridiculous. They say I groomed her. I said I was waiting until she was 16. I told her my age.’”
Later that day he was cautioned and charged and David Nicol stated:‘I didn’t pretend to be someone that I wasn’t. It’s ridiculous.’”
Sheriff Colm Dempsey then adjourned the case for background reports until October 11 and remanded Nicol in custody.

The World’s Youngest Serial Killer
Amardeep Sada, The world’s youngest serial killer. He has very low number of victim- only three. What makes him interesting is that he became a ruthless killer when most children his age were studying maths. He was just seven years old when he discovered the pleasure of killing. This is his story
Early Life
Amardeep was a quiet kid, he didn’t threw tantrums or overreacted unlike other kids his age. The older he got, the quieter he became. He lived with his mother, Parul, and Father, Balaram. He was from a poor family, hence, he use to hoard things such as newspapers, broken toys, etc.
The First kill
when he was seven years old, his aunt, Meena came out-of-the-blue and told his mother that she would be leaving her six month old son with them because she had got a job in Patna. His aunt assured Parul that she will send her money after seeing the tensed look on her face as they could barely feed three mouths and now there would be four.
On the day of departure, Meena spent ten minutes with his son and hugged him, kissed his cheeks, tears rolling down her cheeks and she put a black tika on the side of her son’s forehead to ward off evil. Little did she know that won’t work.
One day, Amardeep’s mother went to the local market to buy vegetables. She was pregnant and she told Amardeep to look after his cousin. Amardeep saw his mother leave and then he walked over to his brother who was sleeping. He pinched his brother’s ear and the infant woke up and started to cry. He was crying in agony while Amardeep was laughing and enjoying the view. Amardeep pinched his stomach, pulled his nose and slapped him. the baby was just crying louder and louder helplessly. The more he cried, the more Amardeep laughed. Then he put his hand on his brother’s throat and applied pressure. The baby’s voice was muted he was struggling for life. His arms and legs were flapping like a little bird stuck in a net. The baby’s eye grew wider and then he just laid still. During this whole scenario, Amardeep’s smile never faded.
He picked up the dead infant and walked towards the paddy field behind his house. Then, he picked up a brick and smashed his brother’s skull. The soft skull became a disfigured mess. He then dug a hole and dumped the boy in it. He covered it with mud and walked back home.
When his mother came back and she asked Amardeep, “Where is your brother”, he just smiled at her and said I have killed him. His mother was in utter shock. She couldn’t move, she was frozen. And then he took his mother to the place he buried his brother. She puked in disgust and slapped him and cried. That night his father gave him the beating of his life. When Meena came back, Balaram fell on her feet and told her everything. She was devasted, when she looked at Amardeep, he was smiling. Amardeep’s father requested Meena not to tell police because it is family matter and she agreed.
The Second Kill
Parul soon gave birth to a beautiful daughter. Balaram and Parul were overjoyed. The incident was pushed away out of their mind. Amardeep use to stare at his little sister for hours and just kept smiling.
It had been eight months since Amardeep strangled his cousin, his parents were sleeping and he was alone with his sister. He came near his sister and looked at her. She smiled at him, seeing a familiar face. He smiled back and strangled the life out of her.
When they woke up, his mother went to his now dead sister and tried to woke her up, she was broken now and she shouted at him, “what have you done? YOU KILLED YOUR OWN SISTER?!” , Amardeep just nodded and smiled. His parents broke down. Karma had come back to pay Parul, punishing her for condoning her son’s earlier crime.
Balaram slapped him again and again and asked him, “why did you do it?”, Amardeep replied, “just like that”. His father lunged at Amardeep to beat him more but their neighbour have arrived because of the noise and stopped him. Amardeep said, “so what if I killed her” , there was slience in the room. Balaram requested the neighbours not to tell police, as it was family matter.
The Final Kill
Amardeep’s final kill was a 8 year old girl named Khushboo. He smashed her skull and dug her in a grave. Now, some of the people who knew about his killing past caught on and went to him. They interrogated him. When they asked him whether he killed Khusboo or not? he smiled and proudly said yes. The villagers had enough they handed him to the police in spite of the protest of his parents.
Kushboo’s mother screamed at Balaram, “I have lost my daughter only because of you and your wife! If you had reported him last time, my daughter would’ve still been alive.
All Balaram could do was join his hands in apology and cry.
Conclusion
Amardeep was detained at a children’s home until he turned 18 because a juvenile cannot be senteneced to death or sent to prison. The maximum sentence he recieved was three years in juvenile facility.
There was no news of him for a long time. Then the police confirmed that Amardeep was placed in a remand nearby his home. In 2015, he contacted a female journalist and told her that he would remain in remand till 2018.
There were rumors that he changed his name into Samarjeet and now in 2023, He’s twenty three years old and is roaming on the street as a free man. Hopefully, he has reformed himself and got rid of his demons during psychiatric and counselling sessions. But, We all know demons never die. You can hide them, but, they will keep coming back to haunt you.

# The Lies of Carlee Russell Kidnapping
Carlee Russell’s Alleged Kidnapping and the Clues Ignored
The internet is abuzz with surprise and speculation surrounding the mysterious disappearance of Carlee Russell in Hoover, Alabama. The shocking revelation that she may have fabricated her abduction has left many astounded. However, upon closer examination, there were unmistakable clues that hinted at potential deception right from the beginning. This article delves into the overlooked signs, such as her peculiar behavior on a busy highway, her boyfriend’s unusual reaction, and the questionable circumstances of her return.
A Lone Witness on a Busy Highway
Carlee Russell’s 911 call reporting a child on the side of the highway immediately caught the attention of investigators and the public alike. In emergency situations, the bystander effect often comes into play, where individuals witnessing distress tend to intervene or call for help. However, in Carlee Russell’s case, there were no other witnesses or bystanders stepping forward to verify her claims or assist in the situation.
This absence of bystander intervention raised suspicions and cast doubt on the authenticity of her story. The peculiar circumstances led some to consider the possibility of ulterior motives behind her call. Questions arose about why no one else reported the child on the highway or why no one stopped to help, despite the potentially hazardous situation.
If you are a True crime enthusiast like myself, you should have saw the clue right then. It also led investigators to begin to delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding the 911 call, searching for clues that could shed light on the enigma. The lack of collaboration from other witnesses and the unusual response from passersby sparked discussions and theories about the accuracy of Carlee Russell’s claims.
A Curiously Calm Boyfriend
Carlee Russell’s boyfriend’s passive response to her disappearance added another layer of complexity to the case. When someone you care about goes missing, it’s only natural to feel a sense of panic, fear, and urgency to find them as soon as possible. In most circumstances, a concerned partner would be visibly distraught and actively cooperate with the police, providing any information or assistance necessary to locate their loved one.
However, in Carlee Russell’s case, her boyfriend’s calm demeanor raised doubts and fueled speculation about the authenticity of the alleged kidnapping. Observers and investigators questioned why he didn’t display more emotional distress or actively participate in the search efforts to find Carlee. Such behavior seemed atypical for someone whose partner had supposedly been abducted.
Typically, when a loved one is missing, people react with heightened emotions, anxiety, and a strong desire to aid in any way they can. They may actively engage with law enforcement, distribute missing person flyers, reach out to friends and family for support, and take any necessary steps to assist the investigation. In contrast, Carlee Russell’s boyfriend’s apparent lack of urgency or emotional distress raised concerns that he might have had some knowledge or involvement in the situation.
As a result, investigators carefully examined the boyfriend’s actions and statements, seeking any clues that could help explain his unusual response. They explored the possibility that his demeanor might be an indication of something deeper or that there could be factors influencing his behavior that were not immediately apparent.
A Mysterious Return
Carlee Russell’s unceremonious return to her family’s house after being missing for 49 hours was a perplexing development that left both investigators and true crime enthusiasts puzzled. In cases of traumatic abduction or kidnapping, the safe return of the victim is typically accompanied by a significant law enforcement presence, media attention, and a sense of relief and celebration among the community and the victim’s loved ones.
However, Carlee Russell’s return seemed to lack the expected fanfare and official acknowledgment that one might anticipate in such circumstances. Instead, she reportedly showed up walking to her family’s house without any visible signs of distress or assistance from law enforcement.
This unusual return raised questions and skepticism about the authenticity of her alleged abduction. For a victim who had endured a harrowing experience, it seemed out of character for her to return without seeking immediate help or for her family not to be actively involved in her safe return.
True crime enthusiasts, who are often well-versed in the patterns and dynamics of abduction cases, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the oddity of such an occurrence. The unceremonious nature of Carlee Russell’s return appeared to contradict the typical protocols associated with missing persons cases.
Given the peculiar circumstances surrounding her disappearance and subsequent return, investigators were prompted to reevaluate the details of the case and explore alternative scenarios. They sought to understand why Carlee Russell’s return seemed so unconventional and why she didn’t immediately seek assistance or notify law enforcement about her whereabouts.
At this stage, investigators needed to approach the situation with an open mind, considering all possibilities while carefully evaluating the evidence and statements. The aim was to determine the truth behind Carlee Russell’s disappearance and to ascertain whether her return was indeed genuine or if there were underlying factors that needed to be unraveled.
Reactions and Reflection
In Carlee Russell’s case, the shock and surprise that ensued after the revelation of possible deception echoed across the internet. True crime enthusiasts and concerned individuals who had followed the case closely were taken aback by the idea that her story might not be entirely truthful.
Moreover, the influence of the internet and social media played a significant role in shaping public reactions when it was revealed that Carlee Russell might have lied about her alleged kidnapping. As news of the possible deception spread rapidly online, it triggered a surge of public support and sympathy for Carlee and her family. The collective outpouring of compassion reinforced the belief in her victim narrative, making it difficult for some individuals to entertain doubts or consider alternative explanations.
When the news of Carlee’s possible deception emerged, reactions on social media platforms and online forums varied widely. Some were shocked and disappointed, feeling betrayed by the initial narrative they had believed in wholeheartedly. They expressed anger and frustration at the idea that they had been misled, especially after investing their emotional support and empathy into the situation.
On the other hand, there were those who questioned the veracity of Carlee’s story from the beginning, pointing to the red flags and inconsistencies that had been apparent throughout the investigation. They felt vindicated in their skepticism, as their doubts had now seemingly been validated.
Conclusion
The curious case of Carlee Russell’s alleged kidnapping and subsequent return has captured the internet’s attention. The clues pointing to potential deception were right in front of our faces, yet we hesitated to question the veracity of her story. The absence of bystander intervention on the busy highway, the calm demeanor of her boyfriend, and the enigmatic circumstances of her return should have prompted further scrutiny. As we reflect on this unfolding saga, it is a stark reminder to exercise caution and critical thinking when faced with such perplexing situations in the future.

On March 24, 1998, 23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley vanished without a trace while on a Caribbean cruise with her family. Despite extensive searches and ongoing investigations, Amy’s whereabouts remain unknown to this day. Amy was last seen on the morning of March 24, 1998, on the balcony of her family’s cabin on the Royal Caribbean International ship, Rhapsody of the Seas. When her parents went to wake her up later that morning, she was nowhere to be found. A massive search was launched for Amy, but no trace of her was found. The only clue was a witness who claimed to have seen Amy being forcibly taken from the ship by a group of men. The witness described the men as being around 30 years old and of Hispanic or Portuguese descent. Over the years, there have been numerous theories about what happened to Amy. Some people believe that she was kidnapped and is being held against her will, while others think that she may have fallen overboard. There have even been rumors that Amy was sighted in various locations around the world, including the Netherlands, Curacao, and Barbados. One of the most intriguing theories about Amy’s disappearance is that she was sold into the sex trade. This theory is supported by the fact that several women who were also sold into the sex trade have reported seeing a woman who resembles Amy in various locations around the world. Despite these theories, the case remains unsolved and Amy’s whereabouts remain a mystery. Her family has never given up hope of finding her and continues to search for answers. In 2016, the family even offered a $100,000 reward for information about Amy’s whereabouts. The disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley has garnered significant media attention over the years, with numerous television shows and news articles covering the case. The family has also appeared on several talk shows in an effort to keep Amy’s story in the public eye and to encourage people to come forward with information. Despite the media coverage and the ongoing efforts of her family, the case of Amy Lynn Bradley remains one of the most perplexing mysteries of our time. The thought of Amy being held against her will, or worse, has haunted her family and the public for over two decades. The question remains: where is Amy Lynn Bradley? Over the years, there have been several alleged sightings of Amy, but none of them have been confirmed. In 2005, a woman claimed to have seen Amy in a brothel in Curacao, but a subsequent investigation yielded no evidence to support the claim. In 2013, a man claimed to have seen Amy in a bar in Barbados, but again, there was no concrete evidence to support the claim. Despite these alleged sightings, the family remains hopeful that Amy will be found. They have set up a website and a Facebook page to keep the public updated on the case and to encourage people to come forward with any information. The disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley is a tragic and perplexing case that has captured the attention of people around the world. It serves as a reminder that even in an age of advanced technology and global connectivity, there are still mysteries that remain unsolved. The family continues to hold out hope that Amy will be found and that they will finally have some answers. Until then, the mystery of Amy Lynn Bradley’s disappearance remains.

Cole County, MO - A Jefferson City woman was charged Wednesday with several child sex crimes in Cole County.
Jennifer Cecil, 41, is charged with first-degree sexual abuse, two counts of second-degree statutory rape and having sexual contact with a student. She is being held in the Cole County Jail without bond. A court date has not been set.
The probable cause statement describes Cecil as a volunteer at a school, but does not name which Cole County school. One of the victim’s parents reported it to the Cole County Sheriff’s Office on Monday.
The teenaged victim allegedly told law enforcement that Cecil had sexual contact with him from December through July and that the relationship was initiated by Cecil, the probable cause statement says. The victim also allegedly told law enforcement that the two primarily communicated through the social media website Instagram.
A detective with the sheriff’s office noticed a gap in communication with Cecil and the victim. The teenager allegedly said Cecil asked him if there was a way the two could communicate without it being recorded. The two communicated on Instagram while turning on “vanish mode,” the probable cause statement says, which can make messages disappear after viewing.
The probable cause statement also says the two exchanged sexually explicit images.
The victim’s parents confronted Cecil and her husband about the assaults and Cecil allegedly confessed to them, the statement says.

Teen Girl Violently Murdered On Her Way Home From A Milk Bar
Denise Gail McGregor was a popular 13-year-old student at Pascoe Vale Girls’ High School in Melbourne, Australia. She spent a lot of her free time at an amusement parlor in Broadmeadows.
On March 20, 1978, Denise and her 11-year-old sister, Sharon, walked to a hamburger shop near their Bell Street home. They arrived around 6:30 PM and picked up their food, paying with a $5 bill their mother had given them.
The sisters began walking home, but Denise decided she wanted to buy a drink. Sharon continued her way home with the food while Denise headed to a milk bar on the corner of Andersen and Bell Streets.
Sharon got home safely around 7 PM. Worried her sister was taking too long, she soon went looking for her at the milk bar. She couldn’t find her, so Sharon and their mother got into the car and began searching the streets.
Denise had been seen at the milk bar, where she bought an Easter egg and a soft drink, but didn’t make it home and was nowhere to be found. Her family had no choice but to report her missing.
Unfortunately, the young girl’s body would be found by 11:30 AM the next day. Half-naked, she was lying face down by Merriang Road in Wallan East.
Denise had been violently attacked. Her head had been smashed so hard she was unrecognizable. According to a pathologist, her injuries were similar to those of plane crash victims. She had been sexually assaulted, and the killer attempted to strangle her with her own shoelaces.
A graphic re-enactment of the assault and murder aired during the evening news. Several complaints were made about a scene in which the girl is beaten with a crowbar. The head of the homicide squad at the time, Paul Delianis, stood by the re-enactment,
“We wanted to portray it as realistically as possible. The violence was part of the reality. It was really very much worse than that.’’
The murder weapon was never found, and neither were the items Denise had bought at the milk bar.
Investigators believe Denise may have known her killer. They were particularly interested in a man she had spoken to a couple of times over a CB radio at her friend’s house. He had the call sign “Lightning One” and remains unidentified.
The 13-year-old’s brutal attack was one of the worst investigators had seen and one they are unable to forget. Homicide squad detective Inspector Tim Day stated,
“How do we as a society reconcile our claim to being civilised when a 13-year-old girl can be snatched off the street, raped and then brutally bashed to death, her lifeless body left alone, degraded, on the side of a country road.
The unimaginable terror that Denise would have gone through in the moments just prior to her death.”
Denise’s murder has been unsolved for 44 years. In 2021, Victoria Police announced a $1 million reward for information leading to the killer. Denise’s eldest sister, Colleen, says she won’t stop looking for answers and recalled how the incident affected their mother,
“When mum was alive a big chunk of her hair used to fall out every anniversary of her murder, every birthday, until mum passed away.
It’s for the families, it’s for Denise, she deserved an answer and I hope the bugger who did it looks over his shoulder every single day.”

Serial Killer Rapist Brothers Terrorized Missouri
January 19, 1991
In the small town of Macks Creek, Missouri, Trudy Darby 42 was working at the K&D convenience store. Around 10 pm that night, she noticed two men outside acting suspiciously. She called her son, and he told her he would be over.
Her son arrived less than 10 minutes later, but his mother was gone. Inside the store, he found her coat and feared that she had been kidnapped by the two men she had seen outside.
January 21, 1991
Police were called about a potential crime scene on a gravel road leading to the Little Niangua River. Found at the scene were blood and hair, that would be identified as Trudy’s. The area was about 12 miles away from the convenience store.
A search party combed the area and discovered the body of Trudy Darby along the river banks.
An investigation would show that she had been raped, robbed, and then shot in the head twice before her body had been dumped.
Possible Connections
Three other women disappeared from the state in the same manner as Trudy Darby. Three of the abduction locations were within an hour of each other. The fourth victim was abducted about 3 hours away.
February 27, 1991
Around 10 pm in Nevada, Missouri, Cheryl Kenney clocked out of work at a convenience store and locked the front doors. But, she never made it to her car, which was found still parked in the parking lot.
Around the time she would have gone missing two witnesses heard screaming coming from the area.
Unlike with Trudy, the body of Cheryl Kenney has never been found.
April 4, 1991
Around 10 pm, Angela Hammond dropped off her boyfriend Rob Shafer, at his house after they attended a barbecue in Clinton, Missouri.
Angela then went to a friend’s house and visited for a while. She stopped at a payphone after leaving to call Rob. While she was on the phone with her boyfriend, she noticed a truck circling the block.
The next time the truck passed by, it stopped. The driver got out and used a flashlight to look around on the ground. Angela asked if he needed the phone, he told her to carry on he’d come back.
Then Rob heard Angela scream. Not being that far away, Rob got in his car and drove towards the payphone. Before he got there, he passed the truck that Angela had described to him, a green Ford pickup. As the two vehicles pass, he heard someone yell his name.
Fearing that the man in the truck had Angela, Rob threw his car into reverse, damaging his transmission. He continued to follow the pickup for two miles until his transmission failed.
Rob was able to describe the truck to authorities, including the fish decal in the rear window.
But the authorities thought the random stranger abduction theory was far fetched and investigated Rob instead.
Wanting to help find Angela, and clear his name, Rob readily agreed to a polygraph which he passed.
Two different witness’s came forward after hearing about the abduction, saying they had seen a suspicious green truck around the payphone area that night around 11:30–45 pm.
The witnesses had also caught glimpses of the man who was driving the truck, and they were sure he was a white male. They also verified the fish decal in the back window. It was described as a fish jumping out of the water.
It was suggested at the time that Angela’s disappearance could be related to Trudy Darby and Cheryl Kenney’s, but without finding Angela’s body, they couldn’t make the connection.
Another theory looked at serial killer Kenneth McDuff who killed between 1966 to 1992, but this has not been confirmed either.
Possible Original Victim — March 11, 1987
Diana Braungardt left work at the Twin Peak Mall in Crystal City, Missouri. She talked to friends as she left, saying she needed to get home to study for a test. But, she never made it.
Her car, a 1982 Ford Escort, would be found in the parking lot, like another victim, she was abducted before making it to her car.
Witnesses came forward and described a man they saw Diana talking to in the parking lot. Her co-workers saw the sketch and said it was the last guy that Diana had checked out before finishing her shift.
The man was described as white about 5'10 with brown or black hair. One person of interest in the case was Jessie Rush, but he has never been formally charged.
Arrests Made
In 1994, half-brothers Jessie Rush and Marvin Chaney were arrested for the abduction, rape, and murder of Trudy Darby.
The night of her murder, the brothers had been stopped for speeding near the convenience store where Trudy worked.
After the crimes, Rush had told friends what he and his brother had done. In September of 1994, a friend contacted the police to report it. She said that she had been afraid to tell the police before because Rush had threatened to kill her if she did.
Police set up recording devices in her place and got her to talk to Rush about the crimes again. Rush confessed on tape.
After being arrested, Rush confessed to police and other inmates about the murders he and his brother had committed.
Rush’s Confession
He claimed that he and his brother Chaney had gone to the store to rob it, and abduct Trudy and rape her. At gunpoint, they forced her into the trunk of their car and took her to a nearby barn.
There they raped her and shot her in the head. They put her back in the trunk and drove to the river, where they planned to dump her body. But when they arrived, they discovered she was still alive, so they pulled her out onto the ground and shot her again in the head.
Chaney denied the claims, and his wife verified his alibi, saying he was home with her. But, police believed they were lying.
In 1996 Rush was convicted for the attack and murder of Trudy Darby and received life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Police still believed that Chaney not only was part of the Trudy Darby attack but was connected to other murders across the state talked to his wife again. Finally, she told the truth that he was not at home that night, but out with his brother.
Faced with the new details, Chaney pleaded guilty to kidnapping and first-degree murder of Trudy Darby. He was sentenced to life in prison.
The Brother’s Other Victims
Police now believe that Chaney was acting alone when he abducted Diana Braungardt, but was never able to prove it before he died in prison in 2017.
Rush continued to talk once behind bars. He wrote frequent letters to another inmate, where he confessed about the remote places he and his brother liked to dump the women they abducted over the years.
Unfortunately, without the bodies being found, Rush will probably never be charged with any of the other abductions or murders.
