Ed Gein, born August 27, 1906, grew up in La Crosse, WI with his mother.

Details Of This Case:
-Ed Gein was a bodysnatcher/graverobber and would turn his victims into furniture, dining dishes, and even clothing
-Ed had stated that he would never sleep with the bodies he snatched because they smelt too bad. They were solely for decoration
-Investigators found the remains of 10 women in his home, but he was only linked to two murder cases. The rest of the bodies were only dug up
-Contrary to popular belief, Gein was NOT a cannibal nor a necrophile. Although, his case did inspire movies such as Silence of the Lambs, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Psycho.

Why I chose this case: I chose this case because this is my all time favorite case, and the one I study the most.

Final Verdict: Gein was found mentally unfit to stand trial and sentenced to a state hospital in Wisconsin.

Death:  July 26, 1984, Mendota Mental Health Institute, Madison, WI

Not-so-fun Facts:
-The reason Gein was the way he was, is because of his mother. His mother often verbally and physically abused him in many ways, but he admired her and even wanted to be her.
-Gein was a hermit his whole life due to his mother's brainwashing and gaslighting.
-Both of Gein's victims, whom he admitted to killing, looked nearly identical to his mother.
-It is rumored that Ed Gein also murdered his brother. When he alerted the police, he led them straight to the burned body of his brother. Although there were severe signs of foul play, they ruled it an accident.

Jack the Ripper, pseudonymous murderer of at least five women in or near the Whitechapel district of London’s East End between August and November 1888. The case is one of the most famous unsolved mysteries of English crime.

coverage of Jack the Ripper in The Illustrated Police News

Some dozen murders between 1888 and 1892 have been speculatively attributed to Jack the Ripper, but only five of those, all committed in 1888, were linked by police to a single murderer. The so-called “canonical five” victims were Mary Ann Nichols (whose body was found on August 31), Annie Chapman (found September 8), Elizabeth Stride (found September 30), Catherine (Kate) Eddowes (found September 30), and Mary Jane Kelly (found November 9). According to the common assumption of the time, all the victims were prostitutes and all but one of them, Kelly, was murdered while soliciting on the street. That belief was subsequently taken for granted in books about the crimes, which typically offered conjectures as to the true identity of Jack the Ripper and reported graphic details of the murders he committed (many of these books, however, were based on fraudulent claims and documents). In a radical departure from that genre, The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper (2019), the British social historian Hallie Rubenhold argued that Nichols, Chapman, and Eddowes were not prostitutes; that Stride had resorted to soliciting only occasionally, during periods of desperate poverty and emotional suffering (but there is no evidence to show that she had been soliciting when she was murdered); and that the only verifiable prostitute among the five was Kelly. In Rubenhold’s view, the notion that Jack the Ripper was a murderer of prostitutes was a consequence of the misogynistic and class-based prejudices characteristic of the Victorian era.

In each instance, the victim’s throat was cut, and the body was usually mutilated in a manner indicating that the murderer had at least some knowledge of human anatomy. On one occasion, half of a human kidney, which may have been extracted from a murder victim, was mailed to the police. The authorities also received a series of taunting notes from a person calling himself Jack the Ripper and purporting to be the murderer. Strenuous and sometimes curious efforts were made to identify and trap the killer, all to no avail. A great public uproar over the failure to arrest the murderer was raised against the home secretary and the London police commissioner, who resigned soon afterward.

The case has retained its hold on the popular imagination, in part because known instances of serial murder were much rarer at the time than they are today. Jack the Ripper has provided themes for numerous literary and dramatic works. Perhaps the most notable was the horror novel The Lodger (1913) by Marie Adelaide Lowndes, which inspired numerous films, including Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927).

The most commonly cited suspects are Montague Druitt, a barrister and teacher with an interest in surgery who was said to be insane and who disappeared after the final murders and was later found dead; Michael Ostrog, a Russian criminal and physician who had been placed in an asylum because of his homicidal tendencies; and Aaron Kosminski, a Polish Jew and a resident of Whitechapel who was known to have a great animus toward women (particularly prostitutes) and who was hospitalized in an asylum several months after the last murder. Several notable Londoners of the era, such as the painter Walter Sickert and the physician Sir William Gull, also have been subjects of such speculation. The murder sites have become the locus of a macabre tourist industry in London.

In April 2011, a woman and her four children were buried in France. The house belonged to Count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnes who lived there with his wife Agnes and their children Arthur, Thomas, Anne, and Benoit. Xavier was financially in trouble and had a mistress in Paris. French media published an email he supposedly sent to his mistress, saying he was "ruined, at rock bottom" and lying awake with "morbid ideas". "Most of the time I am not in a dream but in a nightmare and I can't escape except, of course, by doing something radical and final" the email read. Xavier's father died in January 2011 and he inherited a rifle. Soon afterward he got a gun license and bought a silencer. In early April he told his children's school that the family was moving to Australia. The school Agnes worked for said the same thing. In mid-April family and friends of Xavier and Agnes received strange letters purportedly from the couple. The letters claimed that Xavier was a spy for the US drug squad and he’d been transferred to the US to infiltrate an international drug ring. Agnes’s family found the letters suspicious and informed the authorities. It was only on the police’s sixth check that an officer discovered a leg buried behind the house, under the patio. This led to the discovery of the bodies of Agnes, Arthur, Thomas, Anne, and Benoit, and their dogs. The bodies were wrapped in blankets and duvets, and each had been buried with a candle, cross, or other religious icons. Each had been shot twice in the head. The four children had been drugged with sleeping pills before being killed. There was no sign of blood anywhere in the house, and no fingerprints or DNA on the bodies. Police traced Xavier and found he’d driven to the south of France and then, after checking into a cheap hotel in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, he was seen walking into the woods, holding a bag that appeared to contain a rifle. A massive search of the area was carried out, as it was thought he had died by suicide, but no body was found. The police put out an international warrant for Xavier’s arrest in 2011. Nobody knows if he is alive or not to the day. It also hasn't been confirmed if he did truly kill his family.

She was arrested for child neglect, providing false information, and for the murder of her 3 year old daughter Caylee. Caylee was found dead less than a mile from the grandparents house. She had been reported missing by her grandmother when they couldn't find her with Casey. When she was reported missing, she had been missing for about a month. I chose this case because I was so perplexed as to how someone could lie so much. (Casey kept on changing her statement on what had happened). She was found NOT guilty of first degree murder.

She rejected one of the boys and out of spite they kidnapped her and constantly assulted her. Her body was found concrete-encased inside a barrel. The 4 boys pled guilty to "committed bodily injury" rather than murder. In 1990 the leader of the 4 was senteced to 17 years in prison and their identifies are kept secret due to them being underage. This case has always stuck with me because of the pure evil and horrible things that they did to her. It was too gruesome to forget.

The Great Train Robbery was the robbery of £2.6 million from a Royal Mail train heading from Glasgow to London on the West Coast Main Line in the early hours of 8 August 1963 at Bridego Railway Bridge, Ledburn, near Mentmore in Buckinghamshire, England.[2]

After tampering with the lineside signals to bring the train to a halt, a gang of 15, led by Bruce Reynolds, attacked the train. Other gang members included Gordon Goody, Buster Edwards, Charlie Wilson, Roy James, John Daly, Jimmy White, Ronnie Biggs, Tommy Wisbey, Jim Hussey, Bob Welch and Roger Cordrey, as well as three men known only as numbers "1", "2" and "3", two of whom later turned out to be Harry Smith and Danny Pembroke. A 16th man, an unnamed retired train driver, was also present.[3]

With careful planning based on inside information from an individual known as "The Ulsterman", whose real identity has never been established, the robbers escaped with over £2.6 million (equivalent to £58 million today). The bulk of the stolen money was never recovered. The gang did not use any firearms; Jack Mills, the train driver, was beaten over the head with a metal bar. Mills suffered serious head injuries. After his partial recovery, he returned to work doing light duties. He retired in 1967 and died in 1970 due to an unrelated illness. He never overcame the trauma of the robbery.[4] After the robbery, the gang hid at Leatherslade Farm. The police found this hideout, and incriminating evidence led to the eventual arrest and conviction of most of the gang. The ringleaders were sentenced to 30 years in prison.

The Axeman of New Orleans was an American serial killer active in New Orleans, Louisiana, and surrounding communities, including Gretna, from May 1918 to October 1919. Press reports during the height of public panic about the killings mentioned similar murders as early as 1911, but recent researchers have called these reports into question.[1] The Axeman was never identified, and the murders remain unsolved. He mainly targeted Italian immigrants and Italian-Americans. This leaves the possibility open that the killings were racially motivated, but as the killer was never caught, this was never conclusively proven. It is possible that the axeman began his rampage in 1879 in multiple states until 1922 in Germany.

The smiley face murder theory  is a theory advanced by retired New York City detectives Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte, as well as Dr. Lee Gilbertson, a criminal justice professor and gang expert at St. Cloud State University.[1] It alleges that a number of young men found dead in bodies of water across several Midwestern American states from the late 1990s to the 2010s[2] did not accidentally drown, as concluded by law enforcement agencies, but were victims of a serial killer or killers.

The Shark Arm case refers to a series of incidents that began in Sydney, Australia, on 25 April 1935 when a human arm was regurgitated by a captive 3.5-metre tiger shark, subsequently leading to a murder investigation and trial. In mid-April, a tiger shark was caught 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Coogee Beach and transferred to the Coogee Aquarium Baths, where it was put on public display. Within a week, it became ill and vomited in front of a small crowd, leaving the left hand and forearm of a man bearing a distinctive tattoo floating in the pool. Before it was captured, the tiger shark had devoured a smaller shark. It was this smaller shark that had originally swallowed the human arm. Fingerprints lifted from the hand identified the arm as that of former boxer and small-time criminal James "Jim" Smith (born in England in 1890), who had been missing since 7 April 1935. Smith's arm and tattoo were also positively identified by his wife, Gladys Smith, and his brother, Edward Smith.[1] Smith led a high-risk lifestyle, as he was also a police informer. Examination revealed that the limb had been severed with a knife, which led to a murder investigation.[1] Three days later, the aquarium owners killed the shark and gutted it, hampering the initial police investigation.

-Despite only stealing 13 paintings, the robbery scored 5 million+ USD worth in art.
-The job was done WHILE guards were on duty, they were subdued and or restrained, allowing alarms to be triggered and then destroyed with little to no effect, due to lack of communication with authorities.
-It only took 13 minutes for the criminals to get the art, being very organized, and taking two trips to retrieve all the art in two separate escape vehicles.
-Cameras were useless, as the guards access keys were used to infiltrate the security room, and evidence was destroyed.
-Witnesses report seeing figures idling by the museum, but due to the efficiency and organization of the event, were unable to identify or stop the culprits.

Jeffry is also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal. He is known for being a sex offender and serial killer. He killed and  dismembered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991.
He was convicted of fifteen of the sixteen murders he had committed in Wisconsin. Dahmer was later sentenced to a sixteenth term of life imprisonment for an additional homicide committed in Ohio in 1978.

I chose this one because he ate guys body parts so it makes it really gruesome.

During his trial he was sane but he was convicted and found guilty on all counts.

The "Boy in the Box" is an unidentified murder victim, a 3-to 7-year-old boy, whose naked, extensively beaten body was found on the side of Susquehanna Road, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 25, 1957. He appeared to have been cleaned and freshly groomed, with a recent haircut and trimmed fingernails, although he had suffered extensive physical abuse prior to his death, with multiple bruises on his body. He was additionally found to be malnourished. The body was covered with scars, some of which were surgical (most notably on his ankle, groin, and chin). It is believed, by both police and public opinion, that the cause of death was homicide by blunt force trauma.

To this day, the identity of the boy, the boy's parents, and the boy's killer still remain a mystery.

Place of burial: Ivy Hill Cemetery and Crematory, Philadelphia, P

The Hello Kitty murder case took place in Hong Kong in the spring of 1999, when a nightclub hostess was abducted and tortured in an apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui after stealing a wallet owned by one of her frequent customers. Fan Man-yee was held captive by three men and one girl before dying and being stuffed in a Hello Kitty plush on April 15, 1999.

This case is interesting since it shows how sick people can be from killing her all the way to stuffing her in a plushie.

Convicted to 18 years (Leung Shing-cho)

Juana was responsible for over 30 murders of elderly women all of them over the age of 70. When she was a child, her mother traded her to a man in a gas station for beer. Police believe this was her reasoning to the elderly women's murders, as they reminded her of her mother. She was found guilty in 2015. I found this case interesting as she was a female wrestler and has a serious career ahead of her, yet to be ruined by her past.
