On Saturday, December 1, 1900, a man named John Hossack was killed in his sleep with a hatchet by his wife, Margaret Hossack. The story told by Margaret was that she had heard what sounded like two boards banging together and by that time the attacker had fled and she didn’t catch a glimpse of him. The next thing she saw was her extremely wounded husband, John, who had a five-inch cut into his head and a fractured skull. A doctor, who came and examined John, and said there was no hope and John died the next morning. As an investigation started, a burglary was thought of as the first motive but the idea flawed because nothing was stolen so the idea was quickly abandoned. In the 4 days between the murder and the funeral, the police talked to

Like most things for me, I begin with a story. I have intentionally omitted the names of the killers, this is the victims story not theirs. By all account’s Marjorie Hipperson was a striking young woman, in her early twenties working as a nurse in Hollywood, she had a prosperous future ahead of her. She was returning home on a Saturday evening in May of 1957 from her and her fiancée engagement party to prepare for their upcoming trip to Chicago. Marjorie and her soon to be husband planed to travel to his hometown for their wedding. She began that evening to pack for her journey by neatly arranging her clothes on her nightstand. When Marjorie failed to show for work the next morning or answer any phone calls, her fiancée went to apartment to check on her. Upon his arrival at her home, he discovered his would be bride’s naked lifeless body, her nightgown pulled over her shoulders, her pantyhose wrapped around her neck.

The city of Atlanta had experienced over a two year period from 1979-1981 of egregious acts of murders committed on more than twenty African American adolescent males. However, Wayne Williams, a native of Atlanta, was the center of law enforcement investigation, which implicated his involvement in at least two of the children murders around that time. Nonetheless, law enforcement linked Wayne Williams to those murders because of detailed evidence found on the victims, which was later discovered that evidence was from Williams apartment (Curriden, 1992). Furthermore, the evidence which was found was a unique fiber from the carpet of Williams apartment and the number of people having this fiber was very small in number (Curriden, 1992)). The fiber evidence was the main part of the case to associate Williams with

Perry Smith and Dick Hickock were two very different men who came together in one the most renowned and talked about murders in American history. Although the men’s motives were the same, the psychological differences that they experienced after the murders were very different. Smith and Hickock were living testaments to the fact that one’s upbringing really does play a part into the person one will someday become. For Perry, his traumatic family experiences, or lack of them, led him to a psychotic malfunction and for

Jeffrey Robert MacDonald was a U.S. Army officer and a medical doctor who was convicted in 1979 of murdering his pregnant wife and two daughters in February 1970. The reason why I chose this case is because this murder case is said to be one of America’s most enduring murder mysteries and the main topic of a best-selling book. Not only this, but I also chose this case because it took about 9 years for Macdonald to be finally convicted and the U.S army got involved and made their own investigation because they didn’t believe his story. This meant that this case had many twists and turns, making it a mysterious case that’s very intriguing and wanting to know more about.

The case was like any other, but a surprise witness played a big role in the case. Vivian Gordon, informed the investigators women were falsely arrested for prostitution by the New York Police Department, for doing this the police officers received extra money on their usual pay checks. After Vivian testified in court she was randomly found dead in a park in the Bronx, New York. The death of Vivian Gordon would show the people of New York that corruption can lead to horrible and unchangeable acts and also Walker could most likely be linked back to

On July 25th, when two young children, who were fishing, had witnessed Dawn walking off into the woods with a man they described as skinny, 6 foot-five, with a bushy mustache and blonde curly hair. The two children were the last people who seen Dawn alive. Hours later, Dawn’s body was found in the woods by a Baltimore Police Detective. At the time of the murder Kirk Bloodsworth did not live in the area, was neither 6 foot five, nor was he blonde.

In this paper I will be explaining the case of Clifford Robert Olson, who was arrested for the murder of 11 children in 1982.To start off, I will be giving you a quick summary about the case. Clifford Olson had a substantial criminal record. He was arrested on August 12, 1981, with the suspicion of attempts to abduct 2 girls. Just 13 days later on August 25th, he had been charged with the murder of Judy Kozma. Clifford had killed 11 children between the ages 12-18 and he refused to confess unless he got a deal.

Early the next morning of December 8th, the lifeless body of Debbie Carter was found strangled in her small apartment. The murder of Debbie Carter flipped this small, rural, bible-belt, town on its head.

This gruesome act put enormous pressure on local law enforcement to find the atrocious criminal. Finger prints, hair, and blood spatter was carefully collected from the scene.

" On July 29, 1994, seven year old Megan Kanka, from Hamilton Township, New Jersey, was walking home after playing at a friends house. She had almost reached her front door when Jesse Timmendequas, 33, a landscaper who had lived across the street for a year invited her over to pet his new puppy ( Richard 1 )." " When Megan followed him inside, he led her to an upstairs bedroom, strangled her unconscious with his belt, raped her and then asphyxiated her to death with a plastic bag. Timmendequas then placed Megan’s body in a tool box, drove it in his pick-up truck to a near-by soccer field and dumped her body in some bushes ( Jerome 1 )." This, and the tragic murder of Amanda Wengert, was how the name was developed. But in my paper I did not discuss the murder and raping of Amanda Wengert.

He had to sleep in caves and woods and was hunted across the countryside. When in the end embeded by hardship he managed to sneak home to find he wife already buried and his 13 children removed from his home, he never saw them again and died in 1779 without ever finding his family. Richard Stockton, Judge. He rushed back to his home in effort to evacuate his wife and children. The family had found a place to stay with
