The Verbermockle Murder

Queenie Volupide had the opportunity and motive to murder her husband. Investigators noticed many odd things about the crime scene. To begin with, Mr. Volupide was lying in a face up manner. This is noticeable because examiners are acutely aware that the victim should be lying on their stomach if they had fallen down the stairs. Next, the glass that Mr. Volupide held in his hand was not shattered. It is an instinct for an individual to try to grab onto something when falling, so, why was it still in his hand? It was stated that Mrs. Volipide was alone with her husband for ten minutes, as a rule shattering her alibi.

​Days after John's life was threatened by Donald, Mr. Dick went missing. John disappeared on the first week of March 1946 and was last seen on the 6th of March in a Hamilton restaurant.

I arrived on scene at approximately 02:11 hours. I approached the front door and the victim, Hollie J. McIntosh (F/W, DOB: 07/26/1988) opened the door and let me inside.

We believe Queenie Volupedis staged an accident to cover up for her murder. We arrived at the Volupedis home at 1:30 AM to find Queenie standing with a shocked face in front of her dead husband lying at the bottom of the stairs, glass still in hand. Food was cooking on the stove when we arrived, and everything besides Queenie’s husband was still intact. Queenie reported Arthur slipped and fell down the stairs. The autopsy reported Arthur died from a head wound and had been intoxicated. To begin with, Queenie still had a shocked face when the investigating team arrived, even after speaking to her friends and staying that way for 30 minutes. As a rule, people do not go back into shock after coming out of shock. This shows that Queenie had tried

In The Murder of Helen Jewett, Patricia Cohen uses one of the most trivial murders during the 1800's to illustrate the sexiest society accommodations to the privileged, hypocritical tunneled views toward sexual behavior, and the exploitation of legal codes, use of tabloid journalism, and politics. Taking the fact that woman was made from taking a rib from man was more than biblical knowledge, but incorporated into the male belief that a woman's place is determined by the man. Helen had the proper rearing a maid servant, but how did she fall so far from grace. Judge Weston properly takes credit for rearing her with the proper strictness and education. Was Helen seduced at an early age and introduced to sexual perversions that were more

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.

This is an attempt to unravel the tangle by an objective and empirical examination of information from crime scene and post mortem examination of the victims. Pre-digested information such as speculative newspaper reports, and statements from witnesses other than those called in a professional capacity have been avoided since theirs is largely subjective testimony that confounds more than it informs.

The National Geographic film, A Portrait of a Killer, examines the types of stress that living beings can endure, and how it can thus affect the rest of their bodies. Severe chronic stress can lead even lead to the destruction of brain cells. Dr. Robert Sapolsky is a neurobiologist of Stanford University who has been researching stress for over thirty years. In order to study stress and its implications upon nonhumans, he went to Africa to study baboons. This species has only three hours of stress caused by eating, and the rest of their daily routine is consumed by about nine hours of free time. Much like Western society, baboons socially stress out one another, as they have social hierarchies to regulate how them interact with one another.

     The storyteller goes to great lengths to conceal the murder. First, he dismembers the body, collecting the blood in the bathtub so that there would be no blood stains anywhere. He then buries the body parts under the planks on the floorboards in such a way that "no human eye--not even his--could have detected anything wrong." The storyteller says this

From this conversation there is an overall sense of disparity to keep the death hidden and the conversation is awkward between the two. Since the wife is the only one who knows that he has died and

“The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1841 is considered to be the first true detective story ever written, and the influence for works such as Sherlock Holmes. The narrator and his friend C. Auguste Dupin, after finding out about an intriguing murder, find themselves trying to free an innocent man and find the real beast behind the murders in the rue morgue.

In the beginning of the story, Poe describes a chess battle in great detail,

Flanders divided each of the chapters into specific aspects of the murders. Some of the chapters were given focal points like the newspapers covering the murder in depth, the creation of a modern police force, and the creation of new forensic sciences. Each chapter is meant to be focused on one specific area of the murder but Flanders includes so much detail about each crime that the focus is lost. Each chapter never fully discusses the main focus that it seemingly is meant to. With each description of a murder come a barrage of related material like novels and plays. Flanders spends a large part of each chapter discussing full plots of related material which leaves the reader confused about what the original crime was. There seems to be no
