Sappo569 posted:Again it's pretty morbid to think of, but as the above poster said, do these serial killers ever run into each other? My psych 101 prof at university was a total dork, his specialty was dark personalities or some poo poo. His intro course to psychology was 50% obscure serial killer trivia probably more appropriate for an advanced class because he was the kind of professor who can't think about anything outside his field. Anyway there was a particular crime that contained the fingerprints of two quasi-notorious serial killers. It was briefly assumed the two were actually partners though no other evidence from any of the other crime scenes supported this theory. When the first killer was caught he claimed he did the act alone - this revelation stymied investigators until the second killer was caught at a later time and he got to tell his side of the story. What actually happened was that two killers were indepedently stalking the same person at the same time. One swoops in for the kill mere hours before the other planned to. The first leaves the scene. The 2nd shows up late, finds an already killed body (take this opportunity to imagine him yelling gently caress at the misfortune) and so all he can do is poke around a bit before leaving. For years he didn't know what the hell happened there, whether he repressed the memory of the kill or if he dreamed up the whole thing. I'd give you names of the parties involved but the names I did recall produced no hits for a story like this.

Rabies really fucks you up because it attacks using your nerves as a freeway to your brain. Since it can bypass the blood-brain barrier effortlessly, once it reaches the brain your immune cells have no method of entry and can't attack the virus, leaving you essentially guaranteed to die. That's why it's so important to get the vaccine immediately after a bite, because once neurological symptoms show up, that means it's in your brain and you can't do poo poo about it. Incidentally that's why the Milwaukee Protocol was developed; it was hoped that artificially inducing a coma would shut neurological activity down in a (semi) controlled manner, allowing the virus to run its course without the usual brain dysfunction leading to death. Another theory is that terminal rabies might be successfully treated by artificially opening the blood-brain barrier to allow for the permeability of immune cells into the brain, but as far as I know, nothing has been tested on that front. 3 has a new favorite as of 01:33 on Jul 29, 2015 |

That guy (Pedro Lopez) was born in Colombia and killed there but also murdered in Ecuador and Peru. He did spend time in prison and later a mental asylum but was released around 1998 and has been free ever since. There's another Colombian killer who likely murdered even more children but I think he's still in prison to this day.

Quite a few pages back there was talk about the men in black installing one-off arcade machines in the Portand, Oregon area in the 80's that were then taken down almost immediately and never heard from again. Ernest Cline just published another novel (Armada) that deals with exactly this. Except it's rather dumb.

I remember at the time they released very little details except that the bobdies were all in various states of decomp, and they implied it could be the long-time dumping spot of possibly more than one serial killer. The initial find was at Gilgo Beach and subsequent finds were along the same road. Newsday decided to call him the Long Island Serial Killer but I find more people will know what you're talking about if you say the Gilgo Beach Killer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island_serial_killer The area off Ocean Parkway the bodies were eventually discovered on is largely dense thorn bushes, which is why nobody noticed dumped bodies for so long. If it was saw grass or reeds or phragmites a real neatnik might try to pick up the trash (garbage bag, burlap) but no one wants to get all torn up for that. The search dogs HATED it and had to be bribed to keep working. Trash like that is also relatively common to see, burlap is used in landscaping and sometimes sand bags and people "lose" trash bags to wind or laziness all the time. I try to take a shopping bag with me if I go walking on the shore to pick up some of the stray trash. Unfortunately the case is pretty stagnant. There are tentative links to remains found elsewhere including a dismembered woman found in Manorville and some legs that washed up on Fire Island in 1996, but no real breaks and if there was anything left to find along Ocean Parkway it was almost certainly washed away in Hurricane Sandy. If you followed it at the time you probably remember the name Shannan Gilbert. She was a sex worker who disappeared under mysterious circumstances in Oak Beach, she had seen a client there but around 5 AM she called 911 terrified for her life saying someone was after her. She banged on someone's door asking for help but continued running, that was the last time she was seen alive. Her remains were finally found in a marsh near Oak Beach, police are saying her death is unconnected to the other murders but it seems pretty up in the air. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/09/18/noted-coroner-michael-baden-to-request-independent-autopsy-on-remains-shannan/ I feel bad for her family, but also I'm glad they were so persistent about finding her. It also gave closure to the families of some of the other victims who had been missing for so long. I'm minutes from Manorville and go there just about every day.  This fucker's still out there somewhere.last edit: I honestly don't expect this to be solved, at least not by Suffolk County PD. They're pretty goddamn incompetent and I can easily see them writing this off because most of the victims were sex workers and/or non-white. pienipple has a new favorite as of 06:43 on Jul 29, 2015 |

Crow Jane posted:A serial killer convention, cleverly renamed to "Cereal Convention", is a plot point in Sandman. As much as I liked the series, that was pretty groan-worthy. I always liked the way Sandman dealt with the killers at that convention. Spoilers for an awesome comic everyone should read. He basically relieved all the killers of their illusions that they were masters of their own destiny/ubermench who were better than everyone else, and made them see themselves for the pathetic losers that they really are.

Some appear to be unconscious inside his car. Or already dead. The photos span 40 years.

I was recently reminded of the Georgetown Cuddler, a Hispanic man who would just walk into unlocked dorms and lie next to (or, if the girl was sleeping on a couch or other narrow space, on top of) students. The nickname got a lot of flack because it kinda downplayed the seriousness of the whole thing, but nothing else ever caught on. They never caught the guy either. Another interesting thing is that he always (as far as I know) left as soon as he was asked to. I will admit that they have a point about the nickname, because when I first heard it years ago I definitely laughed.

It's been a while since we talked about aviation accidents, hasn't it? And also, since a few pages ago we were talking about conspiracy theories, why not have something related to both. I present to you... The tale of I-TIGI. The facts I-TIGI was an airplane, a Douglas DC-9 to be exact, which was involved in... something, more than thirty years ago. What that "something" is, precisely, isn't clear to this day, but the clues are pointing towards a specific answer. For now, let's see what happened. It was just past eight PM on June 27th, 1980, when I-TIGI took off from Bologna, bound for Palermo on flight IH870. Departure was almost two hours behind schedule, because I-TIGI was late arriving in Bologna from its previous flight; despite that, the trip was expected to be uneventful, with landing in Palermo Punta Raisi airport at about a quarter past nine PM. The plane's course took her almost due south, passing over Rome before flying over the Thyrrenian Sea, near the islands of Ponza and Ustica, before reaching Palermo. There wasn't a lot of activity in the area that night; officially no other aircraft was near I-TIGI during her approach into Palermo. Unofficially... Well, we'll see next time. A little before 9 PM the flight crew called Roma Ciampino, who were responsible for ATC in the area at the time, to define the final details for arrival into Palermo. (I've explained some terminology in square brackets in the following.) quote:IH870: "Rome, good evening. This is IH870." This was the last voice communication received from I-TIGI. Fifteen seconds before 9 PM, the plane's transponder signal disappeared off radar screens, though this went unnoticed. Then, at 9.04 PM, Rome called the flight crew again to authorize them to begin their descent into Palermo, but received no answer. After trying several times to contact flight IH870, Rome asked two nearby Air Malta aircraft to also try and contact I-TIGI, but they too received no answer. The expected landing time came and went, with no plane in sight. It was as if I-TIGI had suddenly vanished into thin air. At 9.55 PM the plane is officially declared missing, and a search and rescue operation gets underway. Early the next morning, debris and (sadly) dead bodies are spotted floating in the sea: I-TIGI, with 77 passengers and 4 crew members aboard, had crashed. At first it seemed like an ordinary, though tragic, aviation accident. But then things started to get weird. Next time: things start to get weird. Mikl has a new favorite as of 21:07 on Aug 1, 2015 |
