Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you, one of the wildest and strangest tales of gaslighting, manipulation, abuse, torture and murder in modern history.

A tale too crazy to be believed, so weird police refused to even investigate it for years, allowing the insanity to continue undaunted, though they were contacted many, many times.

The tale of a mother so cruel and unfeeling as to be a literal monster, a psychopathic and murderou...

He was also a sexual sadist, a thief, a rapist, a necrophiliac and psychopathic serial killer.

Despite these man...

Claude Lafayette Dallas is considered by many a living embodiment of the American West.

Even his name rings of a wild west novel, a name teeming with outlaw bravado, conjuring images of a lone cowboy wandering the desert, surviving off his wits and the fat of the land.

But this is no fictional cowboy, Claude Dallas is the real deal, a buckaroo and trapper, a modern-day outlaw, and cold-blooded murderer. But did he kill out of neces...

Fred Matinez was a Navajo teenager who identified as a traditional nádleehi, one born as a male but whose gender is fluid and often functions in the role of a woman. Because of this entwining of male and female spirits, the term “two spirit” is often used as well by indigenous LGBTQ+ peoples.

On June 16, 2001 Fred Martinez was brutally murdered, just a quarter of a mile from his home, becoming one of the youngest victims of a hate...

Christa Pike is the youngest woman ever put on death row in the United States.

She was a wannabe devil worshipper, who, with her boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, carved a pentagram into fellow Job Corps student Colleen Slemmer’s chest before caving her head in with a rock in a sacrifice to the devil.

She has been called evil and a monster, but in many ways she was just what she looked like: a traumatized and lost little girl.
