1. Beverley Allitt

Within two months, she attacked nine children and murdered four. Yet to the suffering families, she was an angel of mercy, someone who was always available for their needs. How could a person be so caring and so demented at the same time?

Beverley Allitt was thought to have suffered from both Munchausen Syndrome and Munchausen by Proxy syndrome. These conditions belong to the group known as factitious disorders, which are characterized by physical or psychological symptoms that are feigned, exaggerated, or self-induced. It’s not common to find both in the same person, but the core motivation—getting attention through illness—is common to both.

After a trial that lasted nearly two months (and in which the defendant attended only 16 days due to illness), on May 23, 1993, Allitt was convicted and given 13 life sentences for murder and attempted murder. It was the harshest sentence ever given to a woman.

2. Joe Ball

Did this legendary serial killer, the inspiration for the cult thriller Eaten Alive, really feed his girlfriends to his pet alligators?

Frank and Elizabeth’s second child, Joseph D. Ball, was born on Jan. 7, 1896.  Throughout his childhood Joe kept to himself and rarely participated in activities with other children, preferring to spend his time outdoors fishing and exploring. He was known around town as a creepy guy.

Victims who had become food for aligators

Minnie Gotthardt, known as Big Minnie
22-year-old Hazel “Schatzie” Brown
23-year-old Julia Turner
two missing barmaids and a teenage boy who hung out at Joe’s

Minnie Gotthardt, or "Big Minnie"

A partner in Joe’s bar for a while. She lost her arm in a car accident, and then disappeared. Police were led to the area where she had been dismembered and buried by Clifton Wheeler, Ball’s handyman.

Hazel Brown

Also known as ‘Schatzie’ was a barmaid at Joe Ball’s bar. Her body was disposed of by Ball and Wheeler three miles from town, and Wheeler led investigators to the site.

3. Albert Fish

This gentle-looking, benevolent grandfather cleverly lured children to their death, then devised recipes to eat them. This cannibal model for Hannibal Lecter is a study in criminal psychology and a true enigma. His wife thought him to be a wonderful husband and his children believed him to be a model father. What inner torments caused him to drive many spikes into his pelvis and tell people that he looked forward to his execution?

From  a letter to one of the victims mother from the murderer,

” My dear Mrs. Budd,
…..First he killed the 11 year old boy, because he had the fattest ass and of course the most meat on it.  Every part of his body was Cooked and eaten except the head — bones and guts.  He was Roasted in the oven (all of his ass), boiled, broiled, fried and stewed.  The little boy was next, went the same way.  At that time, I was living at 409 E 100 st., near — right side.  He told me so often how good Human flesh was I made up my mind to taste it…”

Fish confided in Dr. Wertham a long history of preying on children — “at least a hundred.”  Fish would bribe them with money or candy.  He usually chose African-American children because he believed that the police did not pay much attention when they were hurt or missing.

Fish thanked the judge for his sentence of death by electrocution. On January 16, 1936, Albert Fish was executed.

“I first saw a girl skate under a car on TV two years ago and decided to learn how to do it myself. It took three months before I could get my body in the right position. Since then I have skated under lots of cars and have never hurt myself.” That’s pretty impressive considering the boy has been skating ever since he was 18 months old.

The boy has now started training for skating under 100 cars in order to set a record that no one can beat for a long time. Good luck wit that!

I think it has something to do with their uniforms maybe..but have a look..

The Good Shepard is the largest women prison in Columbia.

Wearing lots of make-up, the teenagers came to the traditional annual market in Bulgaria, hoping to find a husband and preferably one willing to pay a large amount of money for his future spouse.
