Top ten #3 Griselda Blanco

Short and plump, with a dimpled chin, Griselda Blanco might have been the grandmother next door. But Colombians knew better. Gunned down in her hometown of Medellin this week, the 69-year-old Colombian woman had spent a lifetime racking up felonies ranging from kidnapping and drug running to multiple murders.

Blanco was out running errands on Monday, picking up an order at a butcher shop in west Medellin, when according to witnesses a man on a motorcycle pulled up to her car, dismounted, and shot her twice in the head before speeding away. Watching the whole scene was Blanco’s pregnant ex daughter-in-law, who escaped unharmed. Blanco died where she lay.
Blanco’s end was as blunt and dramatic as her career had been. A rare matriarch in the macho world of Latin narcotráfico, she was already an established cocaine smuggler in the mid-1970s when Pablo Escobar was still boosting cars on the streets of Medellin, according to the Colombian magazine Semana. She quickly built up a cross-continental drug dynasty, which at its zenith shipped more than three tons of cocaine to the U.S. every year. By the 1980s, Blanco had amassed a small fortune trafficking Colombian cocaine and lived extravagantly, now in her Miami mansion, now in a luxury condominium, and driving a fleet of expensive cars and cultivating a mafia don’s taste for decadent entertainment.
Her story has long attracted the attention of crime buffs and filmmakers, and was a centerpiece in a pair of prize-winning documentaries by Miami director Billy Corben and his partner, producer Alfred Spellman: Cocaine Cowboys (2006) and Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustlin’ with the Godmother (2008). Mark Wahlberg is at work on a Hollywood feature about her life, with Jennifer Lopez reportedly pining for the role. “It’s one of those characters that will go down in history,” Wahlberg told the entertainment news wire News Times BPB earlier this year. “That’s Academy Award [material] right there.”
Blanco was not just a party girl. A childhood gang member in the slums of Medellin, she rose from pickpocket to kidnapper to narcotraficante when the Colombian cocaine trade was beginning to go global. Standing just over five feet tall, she could be as ruthless as any cocaine capo. Three of her husbands died violent, drug-related deaths—one of them, Alberto Bravo, reportedly by her own hand, a fame that earned her the nickname Black Widow. She named her youngest son Michael Corleone Sepúlveda, after the gangland heir in Mario Puzo’s mafia classic The Godfather. In the U.S. alone, investigators linked Blanco and her pandilla (criminal gang) to 40 separate murders, though unofficial tallies put the body count at 250.
Most of her victims were rival dealers or customers who missed payments. Occasionally, the offender’s family was rubbed out when Blanco settled her scores. Her most spectacular assault, a broad daylight attack in a busy suburban shopping center, went down in South Florida history. In 1979, three men in an armor-plated “war wagon,” investigators said, pulled up to a liquor store at the Dadeland Mall in Kendall, a Miami suburb, and opened fire with automatic weapons, leaving two dead, a store attendant wounded, and a parking lot full of bullet-riddled cars and shattered glass. The targets were Colombian dealers who apparently had crossed the Godmother.
The Dadeland incident shocked the nation, but apparently was just one in a string of murders that turned Miami into the most violent big city in the nation. That year, the Justice Department recorded 349 homicides in South Florida, a three-fold increase in just two years. Finally, in 1982, with the murder rate still rising and Florida increasingly in the grip of “Cocaine Cowboys,” President Ronald Reagan ordered a federal crime task force to the region.
Caught and convicted for three murders, Blanco spent 19 years behind bars in the U.S. In a deal with the prosecution, she was released in 2004 and deported back to Colombia. There, Blanco reportedly was trying to go clean, plowing her earnings into commerce, including a lingerie shop in Medellin. 
But Blanco was perhaps too deeply ensnared in the drug underworld to break free. Drug dealer turned government informant Max Mermelstein is unsentimental about the Godmother’s role. “If Griselda Blando de Trujillo had not existed, there never would have been cocaine wars,” he wrote in his tell-all novel cum autobiography, The Man Who Made It Snow.
The chatter in the crime world is that Blanco died as she reigned, in a blaze of drive-by bullets. Some posthumous reports even credit her with inventing murder by sicario, or motorcycle hitman, a contemporary version of the Chicago-style street drive-by shooting. At least Wahlberg now has an ending to his movie.

Top ten #4 Rose West

Rosemary Letts was born in Barnstaple, Devon, to William Andrew and Daisy Gwendoline Letts after a difficult pregnancy. Her mother suffered from depression and was given ECT while pregnant; some have argued that this may have caused prenatal injury to her daughter. Rosemary grew up into a moody teenager and performed poorly at school.

Rosemary's parents split up when she was a teenager. She lived with her mother before moving in with her father at the age of 16 in Bishop's Cleeve, near Cheltenham; her father was prone to violence and repeatedly sexually abused her. At around this time, she began dating West who was living at Lake House Hotel Caravan Park, Stoke Road, Bishops Cleeve. Her father disapproved of the relationship, threatening to call social services and threatening West directly. Rosemary was caring for West's daughter Anne-Marie (by his previous marriage to Rena Costello) and his stepdaughter, Charmaine (daughter of Rena Costello and another man). West and Rosemary moved in together at the Lake House Hotel Caravan Park; Charmaine briefly attended Bishops Cleeve County Primary School on Tobyfield Road. However, by 1970, Rosemary found herself pregnant by West and they moved to Midland Road, Gloucester.

Rosemary West and her husband were convicted of sexual assault in January 1973. They were fined for indecent assault of Caroline Roberts (née Owen), who escaped the couple's home after being attacked and reported them to the police. The Wests' typical pattern was to pick up girls from bus stops in and around Gloucester and imprison them in their home for several days before killing them.

She also periodically worked as a prostitute, often while her husband watched. One of the most frequent visitors to 25 Cromwell Street, now demolished, was her abusive father. She was often pregnant and was the mother of eight children. Five of these were fathered by Fred West, while three were fathered by clients she met through prostitution.

It is reported that, even after the birth of her fourth child, Rosemary's father would still visit her for sex, and would then rape Fred's daughter Anne-Marie.

Other possible victims

The crimes for which Rosemary West was convicted occurred mainly between April 1973 and August 1979. She murdered Charmaine West, the daughter of Fred's previous wife Rena, in June 1971, and buried her in their previous home of 25 Midland Road, Gloucester while Fred West was serving a prison sentence for petty theft. One of the bodies found at 25 Cromwell Street was that of their daughter, Heather, who was murdered by Fred in June 1987 at the age of 16, after being abused by Rosemary while Fred raped her. The Wests told friends and concerned parties that Heather had gone away to work at a holiday village. This was the last known murder that the pair committed.

In August 1992 Fred West was arrested after being accused of raping his 13-year-old daughter three times, and Rosemary West was arrested for child cruelty. This case against them collapsed in June 1993 when their daughter refused to testify in court. All of the Wests' children were removed from their custody to foster homes. This case brought to light the disappearance of Heather West, who had not been seen since 1987, and triggered the major investigation that followed.

Conviction

Although she did not confess, the circumstantial evidence against Rosemary West was overwhelming. She went on trial in October 1995, nine months after her husband's suicide. He had hanged himself in Winson Green Prison with a knotted bed-sheet on January first of that year, despite being on suicide watch.

The jury was unanimous. On November 22, 1995, West was found guilty of 10 murders. The judge, Mr Justice Mantell, sentenced her to life imprisonment, saying, "If attention is paid to what I think, you will never be released."

The Lord Chief Justice later decided that she should spend at least 25 years in prison, but in July 1997 Home Secretary Jack Straw subjected West to a whole life tariff. This was only the second instance, in modern times, of a British woman being condemned to die in prison. The other was serial killer Myra Hindley, who has since died. At the start of her sentence, West was held at the same prison as Hindley.

In 2001 West announced her intention not to appeal, while maintaining her innocence.

In 2003 West and Dave Glover, bassist with glam rock group Slade, announced their engagement. The engagement was called off shortly afterwards and Glover was fired from Slade.

The house at Cromwell Street (along with the adjoining property) was demolished in 1996. The site is now occupied by a public walkway.

West spent many years in HM Prison Durham but Durham Prison currently holds only men and West has been transfered to HM Prison Bronzefield.

The Liverpool Syndicate United we kill

It wasn't just the murders at the sisters' lodging house that the police were now investigating. Although they didn't have enough hard evidence to arrest anybody other than the sisters, officers were convinced that Catherine and Margaret were instrumental in organising a 'killing syndicate' involving up to twelve other women.


The police were aware that the sisters teamed up with at least three other poisoners (and even had their names) to despatch family members, usually the husband (although many wives and children were targeted too) and collect the burial insurance. Police officers also found evidence that three (named) insurance company employees and a funeral director were involved in the fraudulent activities. Again lack of hard evidence prevented the police from prosecuting.

Officers believed that more than fifty men, woman and children were murdered over a three year period between 1880 and 1883. Aliases were used on the insurance forms and claimants often lied about their relationship with the person they were insuring, sometimes not even knowing the victim.

The murderers used a method utilised by several Victorian poisoners. They simply soaked rolls of flypaper in water to extract the arsenic that was then used to despatch the victims, thereby avoiding having to sign the poison register in a pharmacy. Even buying something as mundane as rat poison required a signature.

The Liverpool City Police reasoned that trying to arrest and gain convictions against the other members of this so-called 'killer syndicate' would be impracticable. So they formally charged Catherine Flanagan and Margaret Higgins with just one murder, that of Thomas Higgins. They believed (correctly, as it turned out) that a successful conviction leading to a double execution would send out the desired message to the other members of the group.

The trial opened at St. Georges Hall on 14 February, 1884. Although they were only in court for three days, Catherine tried desperately to blame everything on her younger sister, even offering to turn Queen's evidence and testify against Margaret.

Her offer was turned down.

Top ten #6 Sarah Mankin

Both Sarah and John Makin were sentenced to death by hanging by the Supreme Court of New South Wales at Sydney for the murder of Horace Murray, with a recommendation by the jury that Sarah Makin be spared the death penalty. Before sentencing the Makins, the judge in the case said:

You took money from the mother of this child. You beguiled her with promises which you never meant to perform and which you never did perform having determined on the death of the child. You deceived her as to your address and you endeavoured to make it utterly fruitless that any search should be made and finally, in order to make detection impossible, as you thought, having bereft it of life, you buried this child in your yard as you would the carcase of a dog... No one who has heard the case but must believe that you were engaged in baby farming in its worst aspect. Three yards of houses in which you lived testify, with that ghastly evidence of these bodies, that you were carrying on this nefarious, this hellish business, of destroying the lives of these infants for the sake of gain.

Top ten #7 Christa Pike

Warning: Contains graphic photos of the crime scene

Christa Gail Pike (born March 10, 1976), is the youngest woman to be sentenced to death in the United States during the post-Furman period. She was 20 when convicted for a torture and murder she committed at age 18.

According to a piece published in Singapore's English language newspaper The Straits Times on April 22, 2001, Pike lived a troubled life and dropped out of high school. She joined the Job Corps, a government program aimed at helping low-income youth by offering vocational training and career skills, and attended the now closed Job Corps center in Knoxville, Tennessee. Pike fell for a young man named Tadaryl Shipp, one year her junior. Together they "dabbled" in the occult and devil worship.

Crime

Pike became jealous of fellow student Colleen Slemmer, 19. She thought Slemmer was trying to "steal" her boyfriend from her. Though friends of Slemmer deny the accusations, Pike was set on a vendetta. Along with friend, Shadolla Peterson, 18, Pike planned to lure Slemmer to an isolated, abandoned steam plant close by on the University of Tennessee Campus.

On January 12, 1995, Pike, Shipp, Peterson, and Slemmer signed out of the dormitory and proceeded to the woods where Slemmer was told they wanted to make peace by offering her some marijuana. Upon arrival at the secluded location Slemmer was attacked by the other three. Per later court testimony, for the next 30 minutes she was taunted, beaten, and slashed, and a pentagram was carved in her chest. Finally, Pike smashed Slemmer's skull with a large chunk of asphalt paving, killing her. Pike kept a piece of her victim's skull.

Pike began to show off the piece of skull around the school and within 36 hours the three were arrested. The log book showed that the four of them left together and only three returned. They also found the piece of skull in Pike's jacket pocket. Their rooms were searched and a Satanic Bible was found in Shipp's room. Pike insisted they were merely trying to scare her and it got out of control.

Trial

There was evidence and a confession. Pike was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. On March 22, 1996 after only a few hours of deliberation, Pike was found guilty on both counts. On March 30, 1996, Pike was sentenced to death by electrocution for the murder charge and 25 years in prison for the conspiracy charge. Shipp received a life sentence with the possibility of parole. Peterson, who had turned informant, received probation for pleading guilty to being an accessory.

Belle Gunness details from the last night

Joe Maxson, who had been hired to replace Lamphere in February 1908, awoke in the early hours of April 28, 1908, smelling smoke in his room, which was on the second floor of the Gunness house. He opened the hall door to a sheet of flames. Maxson screamed Gunness' name and those of her children but got no response. He slammed the door and then, in his underwear, leapt from the second-story window of his room, barely surviving the fire that was closing in about him. He raced to town to get help, but by the time the old-fashioned hook and ladder arrived at the farm at early dawn the farmhouse was a gutted heap of smoking ruins. Four bodies were found inside the house. One of the bodies was that of a woman who could not immediately be identified as Gunness, since she had no head. The head was never found. The bodies of her children were found still in their beds. County Sheriff Smutzer had somehow heard about Lamphere’s alleged threats; he took one look at the carnage and quickly sought out the ex-handyman. Leliter came forward to recount his tale about Gunness' will and how she feared Lamphere would kill her and her family and burn her house down.

Lamphere did not help his cause much. At the moment Sheriff Smutzer confronted him and before a word was uttered by the lawman, Lamphere exclaimed, "Did Widow Gunness and the kids get out all right?" He was then told about the fire, but he denied having anything to do with it, claiming that he was not near the farm when the blaze occurred. A youth, John Solyem, was brought forward. He said that he had been watching the Gunness place and that he saw Lamphere running down the road from the Gunness house just before the structure erupted in flames. Lamphere snorted to the boy: "You wouldn't look me in the eye and say that!"

"Yes, I will", replied Solyem. "You found me hiding behind the bushes and you told me you'd kill me if I didn't get out of there." Lamphere was arrested and charged with murder and arson. Then scores of investigators, sheriff's deputies, coroner's men and many volunteers began to search the ruins for evidence.

The body of the headless woman was of deep concern to La Porte residents. C. Christofferson, a neighboring farmer, took one look at the charred remains of this body and said that it was not the remains of Belle Gunness. So did another farmer, L. Nicholson, and so did Mrs. Austin Cutler, an old friend of Gunness. More of Gunness' old friends, Mrs. May Olander and Mr. Sigward Olsen, arrived from Chicago. They examined the remains of the headless woman and said it was not Gunness.

Doctors then measured the remains, and, making allowances for the missing neck and head, stated the corpse was that of a woman who stood five feet three inches tall and weighed no more than 150 pounds. Friends and neighbors, as well as the La Porte clothiers who made her dresses and other garments, swore that Gunness was taller than 5'8" and weighed between 180 and 200 pounds. Detailed measurements of the body were compared with those on file with several La Porte stores where she purchased her apparel.

When the two sets of measurements were compared, the authorities concluded that the headless woman could not possibly have been Belle Gunness, even when the ravages of the fire on the body were taken into account. (The flesh was badly burned but intact). Moreover, Dr. J. Meyers examined the internal organs of the dead woman. He sent stomach contents of the victims to a pathologist in Chicago, who reported months later that the organs contained lethal doses of strychnine.

Morbid Discovery

Gunness' dentist, Dr. Ira P. Norton, said that if the teeth/dental work of the headless corpse had been located he could definitely ascertain if it was she. Thus Louis "Klondike" Schultz, a former miner, was hired to build a sluice and begin sifting the debris (as more bodies were unearthed, the sluice was used to isolate human remains on a larger scale). On May 19, 1908, a piece of bridgework was found consisting of two human canine teeth, their roots still attached, porcelain teeth and gold crown work in between. Norton identified them as work done for Gunness. As a result, Coroner Charles Mack officially concluded that the adult female body discovered in the ruins was Belle Gunness.

Asle Helgelien arrived in La Porte and told Sheriff Smutzer that he believed his brother had met with foul play at Gunness' hands. Then, Joe Maxson came forward with information that could not be ignored: He told the Sheriff that Gunness had ordered him to bring loads of dirt by wheelbarrow to a large area surrounded by a high wire fence where the hogs were fed. Maxson said that there were many deep depressions in the ground that had been covered by dirt. These filled-in holes, Gunness had told Maxson, contained rubbish. She wanted the ground made level, so he filled in the depressions.

Top ten #8 Lisa Montgomery

In December 2004, Lisa Montgomery arrived at the Missouri home of dog breeder Bobbie Jo Stinnett under the pretense of buying a dog.

Instead, Montgomery allegedly came to carry out a horrific plan -- to strangle the eight months' pregnant Stinnett and steal the baby from her womb.

Montgomery now is awaiting trial, accused of murder and kidnapping. The baby she is accused of cutting out of Stinnett's womb was found alive and is living with her father while Montgomery faces the possibility of life in prison or the death penalty.

The horrific tale is now the subject of M. William Phelps' new true crime book, "Murder in the Heartland." He conducted interviews with Montgomery's ex-husband, children and mother, law enforcement officials, friends, relatives, and neighbors.

Before the slaying, Montgomery, who already was married to her second husband, Kevin Montgomery, and had four children from her first marriage, had told her friends and family she was pregnant. She built a nursery and showed them a sonogram.

"She had a picture of the ultrasound. I thought it was hers, of course," said Montgomery's son Carl Boman. "I guess they told me later she just got it off the Internet."

Act of Desperation?

Phelps said that Montgomery had worked a different shift than her husband and had rarely slept in the same bed with him, except for weekends.

"It was easier for her to manipulate him," Phelps said. "It was easy for her to manipulate the town and her children."

Stinnett was an acquaintance of Montgomery's youngest daughter, and the two women had chatted online.

According to a mutual acquaintance, they met at a dog show. Phelps said that Montgomery had researched how to do a Caesarean section on the Internet and had used that as a guide to remove the baby, who was later named Victoria Jo Stinnett.

"I think for Lisa Montgomery, [she] became [so] desperate where she needed to have this baby," Phelps told "Good Morning America."

"The result of what happened after didn't matter to her. I need to have this child because I'm being backed into a corner. I have been lying about this for years. And now my ex-husband is possibly going to take my children away from me. I need to come up with a baby."

Hours after the crime, Montgomery invited her children to the parking lot of a Long John Silver's restaurant and showed them a newborn she introduced as their baby sister. They said they didn't realize anything was wrong.

"She was definitely glowing," Boman said. "She was really happy right then. I think she was really proud of her baby."

The next day, authorities charged Montgomery with murder and kidnapping. It was the first time that authorities had issued an Amber Alert for an unborn child.

A Troubled History

"I guess you could say I never had doubt that my mom had done it, but it was hard to believe, you know," said Montgomery's daughter Kayla Boman." There I was, the whole day at school, 'Look at my little sister.' And then the next thing I hear is that she's not really my little sister."

Montgomery's first husband, Carl Boman -- the father of Carl and Kaylal -- is saddened, but not surprised, by his ex-wife's behavior. He said she had a history of faking pregnancies.

"It really wasn't about having kids and having the fake pregnancy. It wasn't the fact that she was trying to give Kevin a child -- that wasn't the whole point of it," he said. "It was the attention. It was what she enjoyed."

Once Kidnapped, Now Thriving

Today, Victoria Jo is healthy and thriving.

Meanwhile, Montgomery awaits trial. Phelps said that the prosecution might have a strong chance of proving premeditation, even if Montgomery lawyers used the insanity defense.

While in prison, Montgomery, Phelps said, has found God.

"She's found Jesus Christ," he said. "And [in letters she has written] it is all quoting Scripture. Nothing to do with the crimes. It is her telling people in her life what to do and how to do it -- remarkable in a sense."

The Greedy Belle Gunness

Serial killer. Born Brynhild Paulsdatter Strseth on November 22, 1859 in Selbu, Norway. The daughter of a stonemason, Belle Gunness immigrated to America in 1881 in search of wealth. What followed were a series of insurance frauds and crimes, escalating in size and danger.

Not long after Gunness married Mads Albert Sorenson in 1884, their store and home mysteriously burned down. The couple claimed the insurance money for both. Soon after, Sorenson died of heart failure on the one day his two life insurance policies overlapped. Though her husband's family demanded an inquiry, no charges were filed. It is believed the couple produced two children whom Gunness poisoned in infancy for the insurance money.

Several more unexplained deaths followed, including the infant daughter of her new husband, Peter Gunness, followed by Peter Gunness himself. Her adopted daughter Jennie's body would also be found on Belle's property. Gunness then began meeting wealthy men through a lovelorn column. Her suitors were her next victims, each of whom brought cash to her farm and then disappeared forever: John Moo, Henry Gurholdt, Olaf Svenherud, Ole B. Budsburg, Olaf Lindbloom, Andrew Hegelein, to name just a few.

In 1908, just when Hegelein's brother became suspicious and Gunness's luck seemed to be running out, her farmhouse burnt to the ground. In the smoldering ruins workmen discovered four skeletons. Three were identified as her foster children. However the fourth, believed to be Gunness, was inexplicably missing its skull. After the fire, her victims were unearthed from their shallow graves around the farm. All told, the remains of more than forty men and children were exhumed.

Ray Lamphere, Gunness's hired hand, was arrested for murder and arson on May 22, 1908. He was found guilty of arson, but cleared of murder. He died in prison, but not before revealing the truth about Belle Gunness and her crimes, including burning her own house down -- the body that was recovered was not hers. Gunness had planned the entire thing, and skipped town after withdrawing most of her money from her bank accounts. She was never tracked down and her death has never been confirmed.

Top ten #9 Caril Fugate

In 1956, Charlie, then 18, met a 13-year-old girl named Caril Ann Fugate. He soon developed a fixation on the girl, who returned the older boy’s attentions. In order to be close to Caril, he dropped out of Lincoln High School in his senior year and started working at the Western Union newspaper warehouse. It was the perfect job for him since it was located near Whittier Junior High, where Caril was a student. Being close by, he was able to visit her every day after school. Starkweather was considered a poor worker, and his employer later recalled that he was terrible at his job, having to be told things two or three times so that he’d get it right. But it wasn’t stupidity that made Charlie bad at his job – it was his obsession with Caril.

Charlie taught Caril how to drive and one day she crashed his 1949 Ford into another car. Mr. Starkweather paid the damages, since he was the legal owner of the car, but this caused a fight between Charlie and his father (just like the fight between James Dean’s movie father in Charlie’s favorite movie) and he kicked Charlie out of the house.

Charlie quit his job at the warehouse and began working as a garbage collector. Unhappy, angry and belligerent, he used the garbage route to begin plotting bank robberies and finally conceived his own personal philosophy by which he lived the remainder of his life: "Dead people are all on the same level".

On November 30, 1957, Charlie committed his first murder. He became angry at a local gas station attendant named Robert Colvert for refusing to sell him a stuffed animal on credit. Starkweather returned several times during the night to purchase small items, then finally – brandishing a shotgun – forced Colvert to hand over $100. He forced the man into his car and drove him out to a remote location. When Colvert realized that Charlie planned to kill him, he fought back, but was injured by the younger, stronger man. Starkweather shot him in the head and left him to die in an empty field. He later claimed that by killing Colvert he believed he had transcended his former self, reaching a new plane of existence in which he was above and outside the law.

On January 21, 1958, Charlie went to Caril’s home. She wasn’t there but her mother and step-father, Velda and Marion Bartlett, were. Out of the young girl’s earshot, they took the opportunity to Charlie that he needed to stay away from the young girl. Charlie responded by shooting both of them to death. He then killed their two-year-old daughter Betty Jean by strangling and stabbing her.

When Caril came home, they hid the bodies behind the house. For the next six days, they lived there together until shortly before the police arrived on January 27. They had been alerted by Caril’s suspicious grandmother, who had been unable to reach Velda and Marion for days.

Charlie and Caril went on the run. They drove first to the Bennet, Nebraska farm house of 76-year-old August Meyer, a family friend. Looking for money, food and a place to hide out, they broke into the house and Charlie killed Meyer with a shotgun blast to the head. After ransacking the house, they ran again.

Starkweather and Fugate drove to a wealthy section of Lincoln, where they entered the home of industrialist C. Lauer Ward and his wife, Clara. Both Clara and maid Lillian Fencl were fatally stabbed, and Starkweather snapped the neck of the family dog. Starkweather later admitted throwing a knife at Clara; however, he accused Caril of inflicting the multiple stab wounds that were found on her body. He also accused Caril of fatally stabbing Fencl, whose body also had multiple stab wounds. When Lauer Ward returned home that evening, Starkweather shot him. Charlie and Caril filled Ward's black 1956 Packard with stolen jewelry from the house and fled Nebraska.

It was the murder of the wealthy industrialist that caused an uproar in Lincoln. Every law enforcement agency in the region began a house-by-house search for the killers. Governor Victor E. Anderson contacted the Nebraska National Guard, and the Lincoln chief of police called for a block-by-block search of the city. Frequent sightings of the two were often reported but the teenage killers stayed one step ahead of the law.

In need of a new car –thanks to the high profile of Ward’s stolen Packard – Charlie and Caril found traveling salesman Merle Collison sleeping in his Buick along the highway outside Douglas, Wyoming. After they woke Collison, they shot him. Starkweather later accused Caril of finishing the salesman off after his shotgun jammed. He claimed that she was the "most trigger happy person" he had ever met.

The Omi case

Meet Lindsey Paradiso, a photographer who lives with her husband, Matt, in Fredericksburg, Virginia. On Oct. 19, 2016, Paradiso posted about her experience having a "late-term abortion" at 23 weeks. Since then, the post has gone viral, with over 100,000 shares. In February 2016, Paradiso was 18 weeks pregnant with her daughter Omara when doctors discovered a mass on the baby's neck during a routine ultrasound. "We wanted her no matter what," Paradiso said, so they planned to wait until Omara was viable at 27 weeks to deliver her surgically so doctors could operate on the tumor, which ensured the best chance of survival. Three weeks later, Paradiso got an MRI that confirmed their worst fears: The tumor had tripled in size and was growing into her head, chest, lungs, and eyes. It was inoperable. The doctors believed the tumor would kill Omara before 27 weeks, at which point Paradiso would have to have an EXIT procedure, as the tumor would be too large for her to have a D&C. "I was in labor for 40 hours, it was so painful and exhausting but I wanted to deliver my daughter so I could hold her and say goodbye," Paradiso said. "When she was born and we could see the extent of the tumor, we were shocked," Paradiso said. In Virginia, abortion is legal in the first trimester, legal in the second trimester only at licensed hospitals, and illegal in the third trimester except under certain circumstances. "If there was an abortion ban, I worry that I would've been forced to carry her and never been able to hold her in my arms," Paradiso said.

Mothers that bury their babies: Nicole Diar

Nicole Diar (born July 21, 1975) is an American convicted murderer who was sentenced to death in November 2005 for the 2003 murder of her 4-year-old son, Jacob. Diar was removed from death row on December 11, 2008, due to a court error (incomplete jury instructions). On June 3, 2010, she was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Diar was convicted in October 2005 of killing her son, Jacob. On August 27, 2003, Diar suffocated her son and then set his body and the house on fire. The day after she buried Jacob, she was seen at a bar singing karaoke and dancing.

Diar herself was a burn victim. At age four, she suffered severe burns over more than 20 percent of her body when her brother accidentally set fire to her nightgown. Diar had worked at summer camps for burn victims to help other children who were suffering from the stigma of having burn scars on their bodies.

The exact cause of Jacob's death was never determined because his body was too badly burned.

Mothers that bury their babies: Kelly Silk

The horror of Kelly Silk's rampage in East Hartford sparked an immediate quest for answers: What could drive a woman to turn on her own child and husband?

One of the possible answers offered has been that Silk suffered from some form of postpartum depression. The condition, more severe than the so-called baby blues, affects as many as one in every 10 new mothers and generally is not associated with violence.

A far more rare and extreme form known as postpartum psychosis can, however, spark more dangerous behavior.

Mothers that bury their babies Stacey Barker

A woman convicted of murdering her 18-month-old daughter and dumping her body near a freeway has been sentenced to 25-years to life in prison.

Stacey Barker, 26, was convicted May 25 of one count of first degree murder, assault on a child and child abuse.

Barker initially told deputies her daughter Emma was abducted from her car in the parking lot of Lancaster City Park on March 18, 2009

She claimed she was knocked out by the kidnapper and woke up several miles away at the Palmdale Park-n-Ride.

The incident triggered a 12-hour manhunt for the missing child.

Barker later admitted making up the abduction story.

She said the little girl died accidentally, causing her to panic and leave the girl’s body near the freeway.

The child’s body was found 12 hours later, dumped in a grassy lot near the Golden State Freeway in Sylmar.

Coroner’s officials say Emma died of suffocation.

According to prosecutors the girl’s death was consistent with suffocation caused by a hand being placed over her month and nose.

Prosecutors say Emma had been dead for several hours before being dumped.

Barker’s father told KTLA back in March that Barker lived at home with her parents and younger brother who all took turns taking care of the family’s first and only grandchild.

Gary Barker said his wife worked at night so they wouldn’t have to send Emma to day care, while his son watched Emma during the morning so other family members could rest.

Barker would not comment on what led to his granddaughter’s death.

He said there were no words to express how the family is dealing with the news as they prepare for the toddler’s funeral.

He described Emma as a “beautiful, happy girl” who smiled from the time she got up to when she went to bed.

“You lose it, you get it together, you lose it, you get it together,” he told reporters.

“She was so young and it’s such an unnatural tragedy.”

Barker said there are constant reminders of Emma around the house that surface at the most unexpected moments.

The TV menu cataloged the last movies they watched together. Emma especially loved “Bee Movie” and “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” he said.

He said he last saw Emma the night before the alleged abduction when he got home from work just before his granddaughter’s bedtime.

His voice choked with emotion as he recalled the memory.

“I was holding her in the family room and I was dancing with her and slowly dipping her,” he said.

“She was laughing and smiling and we were looking at each other eye to eye. After that it was bedtime and Stacey gave her a bottle and put her to bed.”

Emma’s funeral drew hundreds of family and friends to Palmdale’s Desert Lawn Memorial Park, where the toddler was eulogized as “a princess and a little girl who always had a smile on her face.”

How it's made part 4

Leaving you the final part of this big event.

Mothers who kill Susan Smith

On October 15, 1994, Smith frantically phoned police and said she had been carjacked by a black man while stopped at a red light in Union City on Highway 49. He had forced her out of the car and took off in the vehicle, taking her two children who were seated in the back along with him. A massive manhunt ensued, and Smith tearfully pleaded for their return in numerous TV news appearances, crying out for her children and begging the alleged abductor to bring them home.  All the while, authorities became increasingly skeptical of her story.

Although she acted like a worried mother in front of cameras, Smith’s body language and mannerisms didn’t sit well with detectives. It didn’t help that she kept changing her story about the incident and what led up to the alleged carjacking and kidnapping.

The biggest red flag was Smith’s contention that the alleged carjacking occurred at a red light behind the Monarch Mill Textile Plant, and that there were no other cars at the intersection. According to detectives, there was no way Smith would have been stuck at a red light on the particular intersection she named, as the red light was only activated if there was another car coming down the cross street. 

“We were able to show, at one point, that her story could not have happened at that intersection because she said nobody was there,” said Robert Stewart, former chief of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). “In order for the light to be red, a car would have had to activate the pressure pad on the intersecting street to make her light red.”

Union County Sheriff Howard Wells was also suspicious of Smith’s story, so much so that he admitted he fibbed a bit in order to get a confession. Nine days after her sons went missing, Wells informed Smith that Union County had surveillance cameras in the area where the alleged carjacking occurred, and that they knew the incident “couldn’t have happened as she said.”

Wells wasn’t sure if the tactic would work, but once he told her he’d take the information to the media, Smith broke down and confessed to leaving her children strapped inside the back seat of her red Mazda Protégé, which she then let roll down a boat ramp and into Union City’s John D. Long Lake. Shortly after confessing, Smith gave both a written and oral statement to the police, detailing how she killed her children. The only reasoning she gave for the murders was that her children “were not alright.”

Defense attorneys immediately painted a picture of a distraught, mentally ill and suicidal mother who was unlawfully coerced into giving a confession. Court records indicate that Smith’s father killed himself when she was just six-years-old. Her lawyers tried to use his suicide as a defense tactic, explaining that it led Smith into long-term depression, mental instability, and her own suicidal thoughts.

During her trial, Smith’s stepfather, Beverly Russell, took the stand and testified that he molested Smith when she was a teen and had “consensual” sex with her as an adult. He admitted that he shared some of the guilt of what happened to Michael and Alex. He later testified that he would have never touched Smith had he known what she was capable of.

“Had I known what the result of my sin would be, I would have mustered the strength to behave according to my responsibility,” Russell said.

Regardless, the heinous and inhumane manner in which Smith murdered her young boys, coupled with evidence that indicated she was aware that her actions were wrong, convinced a South Carolina jury to convict her of two counts of murder. Smith was sentenced to serve 30 years to life in prison.

Although prosecutors contended Smith killed her children because of the the “Dear John”-type breakup letter than her ex-boyfriend gave her, she has long maintained that the crime had nothing to do with a man.

“The thing that hurts me the most is that people think that I hurt my children in order to be with a man,” Smith wrote in a letter to The State newspaper in 2015. “That is so far from the truth. … I was a good mother and I loved my boys. … Something went very wrong that night. I was not myself. There was no motive as it was not even a planned event. I was not in my right mind.”

The Yates children

Leaving a few photos of the Yates children to create awareness, look after your friends, don't let this happen again.

Mothers who kill Andrea Yates

It's been 15 years since Andrea Yates confessed to drowning her five children in a bathtub. She had a history of postpartum depression, which may have led her to commit such a crime. Today, though, views on postpartum are changing and more mothers are getting help.

George Parnham still talks to Andrea Yates at least once a week over the phone. He considers her a daughter. He tries to visit her at the mental hospital in Kerrville, where she is currently held, every couple months.

Parnham represented Yates 15 years ago during both trials, after she was arrested for drowning her five children in a bathtub in June 2001.

"When I call my kids on the weekends, I will call Andrea," George Parnham said.

Andrea Yates drowned her five children in her Clear Lake home, after her husband Rusty Yates left for work that morning. Houstonians were transfixed by the 2002 trial. Yates was first convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison. In 2005, Yates' conviction was reversed due to false testimony given by a California psychiatrist.

 In 2006, she pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Finally, in July 2006 she was found not guilty and sent first to a mental health hospital in North Texas, and then to Kerrville, where she's been since 2007. The case propelled conversations about women's mental health, specifically postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. Yates suffered from both postpartum depression and a more severe form of postpartum-- postpartum psychosis.

"I had no earthly idea before I got this case what was meant by postpartum,"  Parnham said.

But 15 years later, after the conversations around postpartum depression began, Houston mental health advocates still feel there needs to be more awareness.

Mothers who kill Waneta Hoyt

In 1985 a prosecutor in a neighboring county who had been dealing with a murder case that was initially thought to involve SIDS was told by one of his experts, Dr. Linda Norton, a forensic pathologist from Dallas, that there may be a serial killer in his area of New York. Dr. Norton suspected this after reviewing Steinschneider's report on the Hoyt case (in which the Hoyts were not identified by name). When the prosecutor became District Attorney in 1992, he tracked the case down and sent it to forensic pathologist Michael Baden for review. Baden concluded that the deaths were the result of murder. In 1994, because of jurisdictional issues, the case was transferred to the District Attorney of the county where the Hoyts resided. In March 1994 Hoyt was approached while at the Post Office by a New York State trooper with whom she was acquainted. He asked her for help in research he was doing on SIDS, and she agreed. She was then questioned by the trooper and two other policemen. At the end of the interrogation she confessed to the murders of all five children by suffocation. Consequently she was arrested. The reason she gave for the murders was that the babies were crying and she wanted to silence them.

Hoyt later recanted her confession and its validity was an important issue during the trial. An expert hired by the Defense, Dr. Charles Patrick Ewing, testified that: "It is my conclusion that her statement to the police on that day was not made knowingly, and it was not made voluntarily." He diagnosed Mrs. Hoyt with dependent and avoidant personality disorders, and opined that she was particularly vulnerable to the tactics used during her interrogation. Dr. David Barry, a psychiatrist hired by the prosecution agreed that Waneta Hoyt had been manipulated by the police tactics. Nevertheless, Hoyt was convicted in April 1995.

On September 11, 1995, she was sentenced to 75 years to life (15 years for each murder, to be served consecutively). It has been speculated since her conviction that Hoyt suffered from Münchausen syndrome by proxy, a diagnosis not universally accepted in this case.

Hoyt died in prison of pancreatic cancer in August 1998.
