The Tinning babies, Marybeth sick or Psycho... - Video Dailymotion: My child isn't breathing! Suspicion mounted against Tinning, who was always alone when the children died, but there wasn't any evidence of wrongdoing. However, after a police interrogation, Tinning confessed to smothering Tami Lynne, Nathan, and Timothy (which she later retracted). She denied having harmed the other children. She was convicted in Tami Lynne's case and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. Her first attempt for parole was in March 2007. At the parole board meeting Tinning said, 'I have to be honest, and the only thing that I can tell you is that I know that my daughter is dead. I live with it every day,' she continued, 'I have no recollection and I can't believe that I harmed her. I can't say any more than that.' Her parole was denied. In late January 2009, Tinning went before the parole board for the second time. Tinning stated 'I was going through bad times,' when she killed her daughter. The parole board again denied her parole, stating that her remorse was 'superficial at best.' Tinning was eligible for parole again in January 2011. In 2011 parole was denied again. Her next opportunity for parole will be in January 2013.

Murdering Loralei and Heather part 2 - Video Dailymotion

Murdering Loralei and Heather part 2 - Video Dailymotion: They Took My Other Daughter! On March 18, 1989, Paula gave birth to a second daughter, Heather Lee Sims. Her life would prove to be only slightly longer than that of her older sister. Heather was only six weeks old when Rob came home from work on April 29, 1989, and found his wife lying unconscious on the kitchen floor. Flashing back to three years before, Rob ran to his daughters bassinet and discovered it empty. He returned to his wife, trying to arouse her, screaming, “Where is Heather? Paula, where is Heather?” When Paula finally came to, she answered that the baby was in her bassinet. When he told her their daughter was missing, they both ran upstairs to check on their son, whom they found sleeping safe and sound in his bed. Rob called for help and police soon arrived. The responding officer was unfamiliar with the Sims and was confused when Rob made the statement, “They’ve taken my daughter. They took my other daughter.” When detectives asked Paula what had occurred, her story was eerily familiar. It was around 10:30 p.m., she said, when she took the trash out and met up with a masked me who was holding a gun. Paula said he told her to get back in the house and she complied. As they stepped through the threshold, the intruder hit in the back of the head and she didn’t come to until Robert came in and found her. Although they began organizing a search for the baby, investigators felt certain Paula’s story was nothing but lies. When they had examined Paula for injuries, they found none; not a bump on her head or scrapes to her arm and elbow – things that should have been present if what she said was true. Then there was the odd statement Paula had made to Robert in the presence of several officers, “My son’s all right. That’s all that matters.” It finally dawned on one of the Alton officers, Sims; the name of the couple who just a few years before had claimed a masked gunman had kidnapped their daughter. After sharing the memory with fellow detectives, they too became certain this was all a ruse to cover up another baby’s murder. They became determined that Paula Sims wouldn’t get away with murder twice.

Me growing up...

The Fortaleza monster

Francisco Simao, the state medical examiner, said he had never seen such terrible violence inflicted before in his career.

The six dead men were identified as Manoel Joaquim Barros, Joaquim Fernandes Martins, Vitor Manuel Martins, Joaquim Silva Mendes, Antonio Correia Rodrigues and Joaquim Manoel Pestana da Costa.

Their bodies are due to be flown back to Portugal after the medical examination is complete.

In Portugal itself, Prime Minister Antonio Guterres has spoken of his "profound shock" at the crime.

Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso has for his part sent condolences to the dead men's families.

If Mr Guerreiro is convicted of the murders, he faces a sentence of up to 30 years in prison and extradition to Portugal, Brazilian police said.

In Brazil itself, local human rights groups have called for the beach club to be demolished and replaced by a monument to the victims.

Oldie time crime # 1 Goeie Mie (1880)

Maria Catherina Swanenburg (in some sources her name is given as “Van der Linden" or "van de Linden")  (1839 - 1915) was a Dutch serial murderer. She was affectionately given the nickname of “Goeie Mie” (Dutch for “Good Me”), which she got for taking care of children and ill people in the poor neighborhood of Leiden in which she lived. After “Goeie Mie” was caught poisoning a family by the name of Groothuizen the murderess was arrested December 15, 1883. The investigation of her crimes looked into more than 90 suspicious deaths and lasted more than eighteen years. Maria’s first victims were her own parents whom she murdered in 1883. The majority of her poisoning victims survived. Twenty-seven died; forty-five survived. But many of them were crippled for life. For decades Goeie Mie’s poisoning victims could be seen navigating about Leiden on crutches.

Her motivation is usually given as money. Swanenburg, like scores of other female serial killers caught in nations across the globe, insured her victims before murdering them with poison. Yet Swanenburg never spent the blood money she gained from the deaths. She was caught when trying to poison the family in December 1883.

On April 25, 1885. A remorseless Maria Swanenburg was found guilty and sentenced by the judge to prison, where she died in 1915.

Eva's journey

I had latched on to kidney or liver donation, grasping to the thought Eva would directly save a life. She’s not saving one like I dreamed of, but she will be changing one. We always knew organ transplant was only just a chance anyway, and a slim one at that. But we wanted to take it. Someone’s life is worth the chance. In some ways, though, I’m more excited about her eyes being her living legacy. I keep thinking about looking into them some day, but more than anything, about her eyes seeing her mom, dad and brother.

We always wondered things about Eva, like what color her hair would be, if she’d have Harrison’s nose, if she’d have dimples like her mama, or what color those eyes would be. In the time we spent with her, one was always just a little bit open, and I fought the temptation to peek. I can’t ever hold my daughter again. I can’t ever talk to her or hear her giggle. But I can dream about looking into her eyes for the first time one day, and finding out what color they are.

Serial Momster - Video Dailymotion: With some people she simply denied being pregnant despite her visible maternity belly. She acted offended at the suggestion. Following the tip-off police began an investigation. When asked about the pregnancies Sieske concocted a new yet easily disprovable fabrication. She claimed she had put the babies up for adoption. When, after stalling for months, she failed to provide documentation to support her claim she was finally arrested, Wednesday August 10. She confessed she had suffocated each of four (one had been born in 2003) newborn babies who were born alive and stored their tiny corpses in the attic. It was proposed during the April 2011 trial that two of the babies were stillborn despite the woman’s confession that she had smothered them all. In two of the cases Sietske had never bothered to buy any baby provisions. On October 11, 2012 her appeal hearing Ms. Hoekstra’s sentence, delivered in 2011, was reduced to 3 years in prison.
