The Thing Nightmares are Made of

When people of serial killers what comes to mind are guys like Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, Dennis Radar (BTK), John Wayne Gacy or Gary Ridgeway (The Green River Killer). The Latter one was from my state and was in prison for some time in my hometown. 

What you may not know is that there are female killers you do not hear much about. Though they kill in different manners and usually for different reasons, about 10% of these kinds of killers are women.

So since it is the season and month of Halloween I thought to add a few of these creepy evil spooky women for October 31st.

If you wish to learn more I will leave a link at the bottom of the post since I will give a short synopsis of the facts.

Left to right first row then 2nd row:

• Jane Toppan: A nurse who killed dozens on her watch who had a sexual motivation she stated. She was found insane. Doubt if that would pass for a reason of a not guilty today (Boston, Massachusetts, Crime started 1885 until caught in 1901.
• Genene Jones: Another nurse who may have killed up to 90 children and infants but only one was confirmed. She injected them so they would get sick and got praise for saving them. Something went wrong and she ended up killing at least one.
• Marianne Nolle: Life in Prison for 7 murders. (1993) She may May have killed up to 17 people they could not pin on her. (Cologne Germany and also a nurse)
• Marybeth Tinning: (1972- 1985) So horrifying to find someone who killed their own children. She got 20 years for the murder of at least 2, confessed to 3  but may have killed up to 9 of her kids.
• Anna Maria Zwanziger: Bavaria. A housekeeper who poisoned her employers with arsenic. She would nurse them back to health for attention. Making mistake she ended up killing 4 and was beheaded for this. (In the early 1800’s)
• Bertha Gifford: Another arsenic poisoner who killed 2 dozen friends and relatives. Killings happened between late 19th century to early 20th century. She died in a mental institution.
• Marianne Nolle: Life in Prison for 7 murders. (1993) She may May have killed up to 17 people they could not pin on her. (Cologne Germany and also a nurse)

 

Female Serial Killers

Murder in Missouri

Warning: Graphic Crime Stories

Missouri

Since I live in Missouri I have somewhat been following this case:

 

 

Savannah 16 Year Old Murdered by Mom and Boyfriend may have had a part in it.  Below Mom Killer: Rebecca Ruud:

 

 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4814136/Birth-mom-Savannah-Leckie-charged-murder.html

 

Facts: This kid was given up for adoption by Ruud. Her adoptive parents as far as I could find were great parents. But for some reason, she went to live with her biological mother about a year ago.

Savannah seems to have been abused while living with her mom prior to her death. (She was forced to crawl through pig pen tunnels if I read it correctly as being one thing.)

She was reported missing on July 20. Two days prior the mother reported a fire on her property. When the fireman arrived it was not the house burning, but merely an outside fire unlike she led everyone to believe.

I believe she was trying to cover the killing of her daughter with the fire. But with everything, it looked so suspicious they got a search warrant.  They found burned bones in leaves and came back 5 days later with a search warrant for the home this time. When they found a bunch of stuff like lime and more to get rid of a body. It was looking bad for evidence.

What was really foolish to throw suspicion on her and her boyfriend was that they got married on the same day Savannah’s body was found. (Funny that being married stops you from having to testify against the other.) This may be why they are now focusing on the boyfriend/husband now.

So the mother has been arrested and we will se what happens with her “loving other 1/2” soon.

Of course she is playing the grieving victim now.

Creepy Vices via the Museum

Word Press Daily Prompt. This week for the subject of “Vice” I thought I would share a museum to visit if you are in the neighborhood of L.A.  or New Orleans.

Vice is a failing or defect. I would put this museum display at the top of the scale for this.

Museum Of Death

 

The World Famous Museum of Death was founded in 1995 to fill the void in death education in the USA. With locations in Los Angeles and New Orleans, the Museum of Death is a self-guided tour lasting approximately an hour, but those who can stomach it may stay as long as they’d like.

Great reviews and warnings here: Yelp

Not for the faint of heart and children according to reviews. Use common sense and wisdom before entering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Right under my nose Not funny 4 far Wednesday

How could it happen. What a “duh” Moment. Yesterday a maintenance came over to work on the furnace. I was doing my business stuff and while after he left I notice a missing item worth some money. I reported it, but both my landlord and the authorities said it is his word against mine. Landlords hire cheap losers to do jobs these days which is sad. No wonder the guy acted weird. I did not even think to watch him or put this valuable stuff away. Feeling like a total fool. Thanks for reading and being there in my meltdown moment.

While reading a blog I get daily on crime, I found, through a link, this 20 year mystery of a disappearance in Springfield Missouri . This is the biggest city close to where I live and love to do things there when I am able. I never knew of this had happened , though it seems non place is immune to missing people that leave not a clue. I guess it is not too surprising since I did live in Washington state for most of my life. It seems they are looking at this case again. It always astounds me how in our modern life things like this go on and as the show aptly named : Without a Trace. Praying to the end they will find the answer here. My time is limited, but one of my passions is a tiny mite I can do to help with this stuff. http://ozarksfirst.com/fulltext?nxd_id=656512
