Solice Kirsk posted:9 years in prison seems kinda harsh for a sex prisoner killing their decades long rapist. Yeah, it was over 10 years ago, if she hadn't hidden the murder and taken his benefit money for so long she'd probably have had no jail time at all, entirely fairly. It's the money thing that's the problem here I bet. She'll do about four years and be out again.

It's just a little "say hi to grandma!" sort of family video, but it shows a dry section of the Strid that's all undercut with giant holes. Skip to 0:20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoUXlAx2V3A I can't be the only one screaming GET THOSE loving KIDS OUT OF THAT HOLE.

I still think sometime in the future some sort of new investigative technique or technology will solve the Ripper case. And it'll be some no name individual and everyone will be disappointed.

I would love it if the Jack the Ripper crimes were solved definitively just so people would loving shut up about it. I have read more boring  on that topic than I dreamed were possible. Obviously, it was tragic for the victims and their families, but it's such an endlessly tedious series of police fuckups and not really caring about poor sex workers and newspapers trying to get the hot story. Which is I guess slightly interesting in that it's been replicated over and over in serial murder cases since, but the "Maybe it was Random Famous or Infamous Person!" nonsense has just made the whole thing unbearable.

Think if we put our heads together we could write a 110 page book speculating that Jack the Ripper was the reincarnation of Manuel Blanco Romasanta?

Sid Vicious posted:Or maybe they meant it's sad that he was so prolific when we have the technology today that it could have been avoided. I know there wasn't any pictures of bloody corpses to keep your interest in that post but critical thinking and reading comprehension are important skills. not sure what your issue is but this seems like something best suited for PM, not the creepy thread. it was a one line post, very easy to make it clearer. for example, this is creepy without any pictures: The hoop snake is a legendary creature of the United States, Canada, and Australia. The distinguishing feature of a hoop snake is that it can grasp its tail in its jaws and roll after its prey like a wheel.

Oh! Is it time for us to start posting our favorite Fearsome Critters?!!? Can't beat the hodag! From back when they knew how to make cryptids posted:Shepard claimed to have captured another hodag in 1896, and this one was captured alive. According to Shepard's reports, he and several bear wrestlers placed chloroform on the end of a long pole, which they worked into the cave of the creature where it was overcome.

I got confused since I’m not sure that’s true - w/o dna to compare to would they have been able to quickly close it? Did they have specific suspects early on? fruit on the bottom posted:Your honor, don't you find it strange that the prosecution omitted every text that said "lol jk"? You kid, but it’s probably some lovely defense that 95 or some other ridiculously high percent of the texts were not directly related to killing so, like, it’s not like I was like, always telling him to kill himself

Late for the D.B. Cooper chat but regarding that code deciphering method, I remember reading somewhere that the method was used on Vanilla Ice lyrics and they found that “Ice Ice Baby” either predicted or caused 9/11. That’s the funniest thing I remember about those codes. From all accounts, he was polite and didn’t hurt anyone. I hope he never gets caught.
