EZipperelli posted:Not entirely sure if this counts as an article or story, so much as it's a "personal page". I'm sure most of you know about this site, so why not check it out for nostalgia's sake; and for those who don't, enjoy... The Shaye Saint John project was amazing and one of the most unnerving things I've ever seen. The website used to be like a rabbit hole where you would randomly jump around from link to link, and most of them wouldn't lead where they suggested they would. I got really into the art and movies about a decade ago, and I still feel shivers when I think about some of them. There's potentially an interesting connection with another thread favourite, in that some people argue that Eric Fournier may have been the man responsible for The Max Headroom Incident. Friends and contemporaries claim it's very much the sort of thing he would do, and the weird creepyness through surrealism of it was basically what all his work was about.

I believe the body in the trunk thing was Dahmer after all: http://serialkillerlab.blog.com/2013/04/08/jeffrey-dahmer-biography/quote:Finally, he dismembers his victim, bags the body parts in garbage bags, and drops the bags in the car trunk to dispose of them at the municipal landfill. But while he was driving, he got pulled over by a police car. After fining Jeffrey for driving too much on the left, the police let him drive away. Jeffrey decides then to drive back home and change strategy. I'm only quoting that small bit because holy Christ is the surrounding paragraph gross.

Bogan Krkic posted:I thought this was the Zodiac killer but I can't seem to find anything on it What you're probably remembering is that after Zodiac killed a cab driver, he walked away from the scene and was seen by two cops who later realized it was the killer. The reason they didn't stop and ask him questions is because the APB went out as an African American suspect. The guy the two cops saw apparently looked exactly like the sketch made by one of the victims and I believe Zodiac even referenced the cops in a letter later on.

Chichevache posted:Link the serial killer's wiki entry, please. If you're comfortable doing that. I don't recall his name. I'm sure she would remember. It wasn't a huge news story. Just super creepy. I only say serial killer as he had no motive other than trying to abduct and kill a teenager with a corpse already in the trunk. We all avoid talking about it as it was very traumatic for her.

I think the Co-ed Killer had a body in the trunk when he went to some court-mandated psychiatry appointments. The notes from those sessions said he seemed more normal and happy than he'd ever been before. E: Some googling indicates it was the head of Aiko Koo. They never found much else of her body.

When Ressler became visibly anxious Kemper said something like "You know I could break your neck and put your head on this table before anybody had a chance to get in here". Apparently that was Kemper's idea of a hilarious joke, the guard came a minute later and Kemper told Ressler he was just messing with him. Ressler put that experience in one of his books and its been referenced a bunch of times in different t.v. shows(Criminal Minds) Basebf555 has a new favorite as of 17:14 on Jul 22, 2015 |

A murdered child was recently found, stuffed in a suitcase on the side of the highway in my state. The police report that the child had experienced "...a violent and terrible death" at some other place prior to being dumped at the scene. The body was in such poor condition that they have not been able to ascertain an age or even a gender of the child. Locals say that the suitcase had been seen by the roadside for 6-8 weeks. People saw a man carrying a suitcase, walking in the area early one morning around the time of the appearance of the suitcase, but no one recognised him and no one spoke to him. The area where this happened is pretty much in the middle of nowhere in particular and whoever dumped the suitcase is long gone. According to police (the second video in the first link) more than one passerby had stopped to look at the case. People had moved it from where it was hidden behind a bush, and even opened the suitcase and in at least one instance poked around in the contents apparently without recognising that they were looking at the remains of a dead child.

Yea like a lot of teenagers I went through a phase where I read a lot about serial killers, when I came across Kemper he was the one who finally made me say "You know what, maybe I shouldn't be reading this poo poo".

Chichevache posted:GEE. I wonder if maybe her trying contributed to his later depravity? Yea he definitely had some pretty hosed up connections in his brain between women and horrific violence. His most famous quote is basically describing what goes through his head when he sees an attractive woman. "When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things: one part of me wants to take her home, be real nice and treat her right; the other part wonders what her head would look like on a stick."

I read a book about Sean Vincent Gillis once. He tried to gently caress one of his victims' heads stump-first but pricked his dick on a piece of cartilage and ruined the mood. He also had a huge collection of photos of dismembered women which he'd show off to his girlfriend, who after his arrest was like "aw shucks, I thought it was just a weird little quirk he had" like it was eating peanut butter out of the jar or something.

pookel posted:I remember this too, and my memory is suggesting that the killer had the body chopped up in sealed garbage bags in the trunk. I don't think it was Dahmer (I have a vague memory that it was someone with adult female victims). Might have been Bundy, but I thought it was someone else. I went through a phase of reading about serial killers, but it's been a long time. There is actually a book out there written by Ted Bundy's girlfriend at the time he was killing women in Washington -- The Phantom Prince, by Elizabeth Kendall. I read it a long time ago and don't remember too much detail, but Kendall lived with Bundy along with her young daughter from a previous relationship, and she reports that he was an attentive boyfriend to her and good father-figure to her daughter. It was only in hindsight that his quirks and their relationship problems took on ominous significance. (IIRC, she only began to suspect something was seriously awry with him when it was around the time that a police sketch of the local serial killer came out that strongly resembled Bundy, AND he brought home a couple of grocery bags full of women's underwear and had some half-assed explanation for them.) The one thing that sticks in my mind is that Kendall was a jogger, and she said Bundy would tell her to be careful when jogging at night because "you never know who's out there." The book's worth a read if you can find it. It's long out of print and I see it's selling for over $100 on Amazon, but you could probably get it through your library's Interlibrary Loan service.

Infyrno posted:I'm interested as well. Because she wasn't a victim there probably isn't anything about this in any wiki/articles, which is what makes it such an interesting little encounter. Maybe you're thinking of Richard Allen Davis, the guy who kidnapped and murdered Polly Klass? I seem to remember something like that happening, that instead of being arrested he was let go. He hadn't yet been linked to the kidnapping so because he came back with no warrants, he was let go. Or something. I could be thinking of someone else, as well.

Bundy also volunteered at a rape crisis hotline and a suicide hotline, which was where he met Ann Rule. Who knows what he was really thinking when he answered the phones, but he came off as helpful to callers and a good listener.

A little bit of tangent, related to serial killers, Netflix has a really good series called "The Fall". I'd recommend you look it up without checking this spoiler, because it is really good, but the spoiler itself isn't too big if you are curious. babout an Irish police force (and a London Metropolitan Police Detective) trying to stop a serial killer who exclusively targets young professional women (as in lawyers and corporate workers, not prostitutes), and one thing I thought was a nice touch was that the killer escaped suspicion for a while because he's a counsellor who deals with grieving couples, and spent years volunteering at a hotline. I guess now that that probably drew at least some of its inspiration from Bundy, but when I first watched it I just thought it was a cool thing they'd come up with on their own.

You should probably spoiler that and instead just recommend people watch the show, because it is a fantastic examination of serial killers and the hunt to catch them. It is all on Netflix and it is very good.

The case that was selected for the book I read was when he lured a young girl off of her family's farm with her parents permission under the pretense of taking her to a niece's birthday party, molested her, and eventually killed and ate her. He then sent a pretty drat disturbing letter to her mother, which lead to his capture.

So people have been making noise lately that Sandra Bland, that lady in Texas who died in custody, may actually have been dead in her mugshot: http://www.hiphophangover.com/sandra-bland-was-already-dead-during-this-mugshot/ Personally, yeah I think it looks weird but it's a mug shot, they all look weird.
