Badcock's Murder

You are correct when you state “It is always difficult to know for sure whether someone is guilty or innocent, even if they admit one way or the other” That was my first thought until I read into the case a bit more. I stated, “the son did it.” Because as you mentioned Mrs. Hossack did not have emotion until her son spoke, did she show emotion because she was afraid of what he may say? As far as the dog wouldn’t the son know the dog’s behaviors?

Doug finds himself in a very difficult situation and he cant decide whether to do what he knows is right and not except this foolish trade, or what he wants to do because of his longing for Ralph’s friendship. When Doug begins to him reminisce about these memories we see he’s changed a little bit. He hated himself as if it was his fault back then and now as things have gone on that anger has built up substantially. The difference is now that anger has redirected almost completely at Ralph. He tries to solve this conflict within himself by blaming everything on Ralph. This only makes things worse by reversing that anger to Ralph causing Doug to decide to kill him.

Many people say the documentation of the murder of the Clutter family is Truman Capote’s best work. It started out as an article for The New Yorker, and evolved into the non-fiction novel; the first of its kind. Capote traveled to Kansas with friend Harper Lee to research the killings. In the course of six years bringing this narrative together, Capote began taking drugs and drinking heavily due to the dark nature of the book. Truman Capote tells the true story of a family murdered in In Cold Blood, through character analysis and symbolism to prove nature is a stronger force than nature in shaping a person’s character.

The 1940’s in the United States was a time in history that generations look back on to reminisce on simpler times and new beginnings. 1947 was the year that Jackie Robinson first took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers as the first African American to play in the MLB, a gallon of gasoline was 15 cents, and the first instant camera was invented. While many positive feats were made and challenges overcome, 1947 is also the year of the gruesome “Black Dahlia” murder. Elizabeth Short or otherwise known by her nickname “Black Dahlia” became a household name when her body was found brutally butchered and drained of blood. 67 years have passed since her murder and to this day the case remains open and a mystery. The world may never truly know why

On May 19, 1870 the child that would come to be one of the most disturbing serial killers in history was born. Hamilton Fish grew up in Washington D.C. in a working-class family. He seemed to have a normal life up until his father died when young Hamilton was five-years-old. In the aftermath of the death of the Fish family patriarch, the cost of raising Hamilton and his siblings became more than their mother could afford and the children were sent to orphanages. It was at the orphanage that young Hamilton discovered his proclivity for pain. Punishment within the walls of his new home was often doled out with whips and beatings. Eventually, Hamilton found he enjoyed not only being hurt but also seeing the other children abused, admitting that he loved to hear their screams. Nevertheless, Hamilton ran away every weekend in hopes of escaping the relentless abuse from his peers, who taunted him and made fun of his name by calling him Ham-and-Eggs. Fortunately, after three years his mother found employment with the government which paid enough for her to once again support her children. Upon his return home, young Hamilton begged his mother to change his name, citing the taunting he had received. She obliged by bestowing upon him the name of his deceased brother, Albert.

Scanning the darkness from left to right, seeing near where he stood, he first took in the main counter, seeing it being configured as an “L” shape. He then looked through its transparent fronts, seeing the remains of small and empty displays. Even through the dimness brought by the open door, he could tell their whiteness was dust covered. His eyes lifted, looking beyond the main counter, and then scanned slightly right. Seeing further into the depth of the room, and on its other side, sat a set of two counters travelling the far wall. Both, butted end-to-end, they led to a back area he could not fully see. He assumed that was where the back entryway was and where the killer entered.

It was 9:00 at night when the crime happened, but 5:30 a.m. the next day was when we got the case. I am detective Kilburn and I have been called to solve it. The suspects we have for Mr. Boddy's death are Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, and Mrs. White. Today is January 27, 1957 and I live in the lovely place of London. I started to read the case file about how Mr. Boddy was found and it was apparently one of his maids that reported it. There just might be a connection.

John Ridsdel, 68, was taken from a tourist resort with three others by the Abu Sayyaf group in September 2015.

54.3 percent of murder victims were killed by someone they knew (acquaintance, neighbor, friend, boyfriend, etc.), 24.8 percent were killed by a family member. The evidence shows that this is logically the case in the Verbermockle murder mystery. After allegedly finding Mrs. Verbermockle’s husband unconscious on the bathroom floor, Mrs. Verbermockle calls her family doctor. Mrs. Verbermockle claimed that he must have slipped on a bar of soap, and she did not touch him. When the doctor arrived, he announced Mr. Verbermockle dead from a fracture to the rear of the skull caused from blunt force. However, if the FBI statistics are correct, then it is likely that Mrs. Verbermockle is the killer. Although
