    Ohio man arrested after daughter’s decomposing body found in crib

    Ohio man arrested after daughter’s decomposing body found in crib

    This could be one of the most disgusting and horrific stories I have ever read about .. ever heard.. This creature who posed as a human not only left the innocent young child’d corpse rot in a crib, but he also   told police he put bags of garbage in his young daughter’s room to mask the smell of her decomposing body was granted sole custody of the toddler during a divorce last year. …

    Police are investigating another infant death from 2013. A pattern emerged, perhaps.. 

    This is beyond logic.. Beyond humanity.. beyond all of it.

    Not a ghost tale, but perhaps even scarier

    I read a fascinating article–thank God I am not the victim here or it would not be fascinating at all–today about a family in New Jersey fleeing their new ‘dream home’ because of frightening letters they were receiving from someone who called himself ‘The Watcher.’  

    According to the article, the previous owners never told the new ones about this strange person.. 

    A lawsuit has been filed.

    From CBS NEW YORK:

    As CBS2’s Valerie Castro reported, the large six-bedroom home in Union County is being watched – according to a lawsuit filed by its new owners.

    They paid $1.3 million for their “dream home” in the picturesque town of Westfield. They claim the previous owners were aware of a man who calls himself “the Watcher,” but they never said anything.

    “I would be pretty upset if I bought a house and found out that the previous owners knew about it,” said Robert Hagen of Westfield.

    Since moving in, the owners said they have received numerous letters from the mysterious person. “The Watcher” claimed the home “has been the subject of my family for decades,” and “I have been put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming,” Castro reported.

    The new owners have several children, and other letters asked, “Have they found out what’s in the walls yet?” and “I am pleased to know your names now, and the name of the young blood you have brought to me,” Castro reported.

    The bone-chilling letters were enough to send the new family packing. The incident was so unnerving that Westfield Mayor Andy Skibitsky addressed the issue at a Town Council meeting Tuesday night.

    There have been frightening ghost stories, such as the Amityville Horror, supposedly chasing a family from their abode. I don’t think I have ever heard of a story quite like the one linked here.. 

    This sounds like the plot of a movie..
    People are scarier than ghosts..

    THIS NEWS MAKING ROUNDS ONLINE IS TROUBLING: Woman Found Pushing Dead 3-Year-Old Son in Swing// A woman was found pushing her dead 3-year-old son in a park swing Friday, and authorities say she may have been there for hours, or even since the day before. There were no obvious signs of foul play »

    The AP dispatch continues with tragic details:

    Sheriff’s deputies went to the park in La Plata, Maryland, about 7 a.m. after being called to check on the welfare of the woman and child, Richardson said. The officers went to remove the boy from the swing and give him first aid, but “it was instantaneously clear the child was dead,” she said. There were no signs of trauma to his body.

    Deputies cut the chain on the swing’s seat and removed the body, which was taken to the Officer of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore. A spokesman for the medical examiner said he couldn’t provide any information.

    The situation seems harrowing.. troubling.. mentally exhausting and even depressing.
    There is a deep hope that no crime was committed here.. but at the same time, the extent of the mother’s either mother illness or inability to comprehend reality is also in play.

    Innocent until proven guilty.. but I’d figure a thorough medical exam is taking place to ensure mental capacities are in check.

  • SUNDAY MORNING SERIAL

    SUNDAY MORNING SERIAL

    Last night before bed, I made a little mistake in listening to a DARKNESS RADIO true crime show with Dave Schrader featuring the owner of Serial Killer Magazine.

    The show was great and interesting. True crime fascinates me … actually scares me.

    The intense reality that exists beyond the safety of our locked doors and closed windows is abhorrent, often.  There is much to be written and told of true crime—too much to start now. But I’m curious how many others out there are interested in true crime.. How many people are both fascinated and horrified by the macabre.. and how many fear reality more than fiction?

  • NEW DETAILS EMERGE IN CRAIGSLIST HORROR..

    NEW DETAILS EMERGE IN CRAIGSLIST HORROR..

    There was a shocking crime reported yesterday by local stations in Colorado.. A grisly crime as well. Michelle Wilkins, 26, was seven months pregnant. She went to a home of a person she found on Craigslist who was selling baby clothes.. Instead, the woman, Dynel Lane, 34, cut the baby out of Wilkins’ stomach. The baby died.. the woman was rushed to the hospital..

    The TRIBUNE NEWS WIRE dispatches this graphic information:

    Lane is accused of stabbing Wilkins and removing the fetus.

    The fetus died, but the mother survived and has a “very optimistic” prognosis, authorities said Thursday.

    Authorities’ version of events was unlike anything the local district attorney has seen in his 32 years practicing law.

    ‘I’m pregnant’

    Stabbed in the stomach and bleeding, the victim called 911.

    “She cut me,” she told the operator.

    “Who cut you?” the operator asked.

    “I don’t know,” the victim said.

    Then came the revelation.

    “She cut you in your stomach?” the operator asked.

    “Uh-huh. I’m pregnant,” the victim said.

    Even more, again graphic:

    Searching the split-level home, police found several bloody towels being laundered in the washing machine.

    David Ridley, the 35-year-old husband of Dynel Lane, told police he had returned home earlier after leaving work to meet his wife.

    As the husband walked downstairs toward the basement, his wife walked around the corner “covered in blood,” the police report said.

    “She told David she just miscarried and the baby was in the bathtub upstairs,” the police report said.

    MORE:

    After Ridley saw his bloody wife, he ran to the bathroom and found “a small baby lying in the bathtub,” the police report said.

    “He rubbed the baby slightly then rolled it over to … see it take a gasping breath,” the report said.

    Ridley wrapped the baby in a towel, and apparently unaware that its mother was still bleeding inside the house, drove the baby and his wife to the emergency room of Longmont United Hospital, police said.

    There is more information.. grisly, graphic.. and disturbing. This is worse than a horror movie.. This is horror on a scale unseen in Colorado before.. Police are now asking for information from anyone else who may have traveled to “D’s” house for baby clothes as a result of the Craigslist ad..

    This website has said many times over, true horror is much worse than any works of fiction. The reality of this crime, this Craigslist shocker, is still sinking in..

    Another thing worth noting–and let this sink in:

    Under Colorado law, essentially, there’s no way murder charges can be brought if it’s not established that the fetus lived as a child outside the body of the mother for some period of time,” Garnett said during the media conference. “I don’t know yet whether that can be established, what our facts are here”

    Let that sink in..
    True horror hits Colorado. And it’s a town that may never get over the shock of the Craigslist Killer.

    HBO dropped a bombshell on viewers–and Robert Durst was arrested because of it..

    Durst is a millionaire eccentric, and has been linked to two murders fifteen years ago. On Sunday, just before an HBO finale about his life, he was arrested.. The ASSOCIATED PRESS reports in dispatches tonight:

    Durst was arrested on a murder warrant just before Sunday evening’s finale of an HBO serial documentary about his links to three sensational killings.

    In the finale, Durst was asked about similarities in handwriting in a letter he wrote and another linked to one of the killings. Later, filmmakers said Durst wore his microphone into the bathroom.

    What followed was a bizarre rambling in which Durst said, apparently to himself, “There it is. You’re caught” and “What the hell did I do? Killed them all of course.”

    The show ended, and it wasn’t clear whether producers confronted Durst about the secretly recorded words, or what Durst meant by them.

    But the FBI swooped in and he was arrested in New Orleans.. Durst left his Houston town house for New Orleans to escape unwanted attention since the documentary’s second-to-last episode aired. The Durst family is worth more than $4 billion..

  • The Phantom (pooper) strikes at night

    The Phantom (pooper) strikes at night

    Ohio has a problem. This man you see here, is the phantom pooper.. the night owl defectator.. the silent shitter..

    You pick your own term. Either way, he’s going around various parts of the city of Akron, Ohio. It’s been going on for years, the suspicion now is that the Bowel Movement Bandit has defecated on over 19 cars. 

    The poopetrator even hit one woman’s car 7 times..

    He’s been getting busy with his business. But now cops want him to cut the crap.

    This story is just asking for bad puns, and regardless of the source, people are making them. But just imagine waking up one day to find a large load on the cook of your car.. The horror of that scene would be unimaginable..

    Either way, with his image now blasting across the internet–the image of him in action–there may be ‘movement’ on the case.. For the sake of Akron, we certainly hope so.

  • Horrific stabbing shocks town

    Horrific stabbing shocks town

    There’s something deeply wrong out there.. Perhaps always was, and made much more easy to learn about with the internet’s super highway connecting all of the vast portions of the world together..

    This is what is known about a brutal Michigan killing: A 12-year-old boy stabbed another boy, age 9, in a playground.. There seemingly is no connection between them. They don’t appear to have known each other.. Th 12-year-old stabbed the other in the back with a kitchen knife..  The 12-year-old calmly approached a man close to the playground after the stabbing, and asked to use a phone.

    Reportedly the boy said he was unloved..also this: He took multiple pills earlier in the day.

    As if the entire story wasn’t chilling enough, this is how the culmination of events took place, as CNN reported:

    Police said that after he was stabbed, Conner managed to run back home before he collapsed on the porch. An ambulance rushed him to a hospital, where he died Monday night.

    Lawhorn, meanwhile, “left the playground then went to a nearby residence where he asked to use the phone,” Kentwood Chief of Police Thomas Hillen said.

    “I thought he was calling for his parents to come pick him up,” homeowner Glen Stacy told CNN. He wasn’t. “He called 911,” he said.

    Stacy described Lawhorn as “calm and collected” throughout, and that he told the 911 dispatcher, “Hi, I just stabbed someone, please pick me up and come kill me, I want to end my life.”

    MORE here..

    There can be dozens if not more questions applied to this news brief. A kitchen knife? From where.. parental guidance lacking? Mental problems undiagnosed? So many aspects to the story that are difficult and time consuming to contemplate.

    In the mean time, a 9-year-old family is grieving a tragic and abrupt loss of someone they love..
    Horror in the playground..
    The kids aren’t alright.
