Necrophilia Statistics 

92% of necrophiles are male

only 8% are women

57% of necrophiles had access to dead bodiies (worked as nurses, pathologists, cemetery workers.)

34% had an explained motive

68% preferred dead people because they couldn’t refuse to have sex

21% engaged in necrophilia only with their dead partners

15% felt a sexual arousal every time they saw a dead body

12% wanted to feel power

These is the only official statistics that exists. Because, as one commenter on Google Answers said: “Sadly the victims are usually very tight-lipped on reporting these crimes.”

Adrienne Shelly was an up and coming American actress, known for her roles in The Unbelievable Truth and Waitress, which she also wrote and directed. Sadly, her promising career was cut short on 1 November, 2006, when she was discovered dead in her Manhattan apartment by her husband, Andrew.

She was found hanging from the shower; a noose made from a bed sheet around her neck. NYPD originally ruled the death as a suicide regardless of the fact that money was missing from her wallet and the door was unlocked. Her husband insisted that there was no possible way she would have ended her own life - she had been extremely happy within her personal life and also her professional life and was a doting mother to a little girl. Andrew later said of his wife: “Adrienne was the kindest, warmest, most loving, generous person I knew. She was incredibly smart, funny and talented, a bright light with an infectious laugh and huge smile that radiated inner and outer beauty… she was my best friend, and the person with whom I was supposed to grow old.“

At the persistence of her husband, the case was reopened and re-examination of the crime scene uncovered an unknown shoe print on the toilet. The print matched that of a construction worker who had been in the apartment block on the day of her death, 19-year-old Diego Pillco. He confessed that he had attacked Shelley and hanged her from the shower in an attempt to conceal the murder. Her autopsy revealed that she was still alive when he tied her up. He was charged with first-degree manslaughter and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Anissa Weier pleads guilty to ‘Slenderman stabbing’

On the 31th of May 2014, Anissa Weier (12) and Morgan Geyser (12) lured their friend and classmate, Payton L. (12), into the forest while playing a game of hide-and-seek. During the game, the two girls pinned Payton down and stabbed her a total of 19 times in the legs, arms, and abdomen with a five-inch-long kitchen knife. Immediately after the stabbing, the two girls told Payton to be quiet and that they would get help for her, but they fled the scene instead. Payton dragged herself out of the forest and was discovered by a bicyclist who called 911. She survived the horrible attack, has made an incredible recovery and was able to return to school in fall of 2014.

The motive for the stabbing was a fictional character named ‘Slenderman’, however Anissa and Morgan believed he was real. The two girls wanted to become his followers and to do so they believed they had to kill someone.

UPDATE: The jury decided Anissa Weier is mentally ill and not criminally responsible, she won’t go to prison. Instead, she’ll have to spend at least three years in a mental health facility.

29 people were injured this morning (September 15, 2017) after an IED, fashioned out of a bucket and hidden in a carrier bag, exploded at Parsons Green tube station in London, England. A young boy, who’s legs were badly burnt, is said to be the most serious casualty. The bomb was partially detonated at about 8:20am, sending what has been described as a “fireball” down the carriage of a District Line train. The homemade device has been likened to the pressure cooker bombs used in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. If the bomb had been fully detonated, the damage could have been far more devastating.

A suspect has been identified using CCTV footage and a manhunt is currently underway to find the perpetrator of this terror attack.

UPDATE: an 18-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the crime. Although only one arrest has been made, ISIS have claimed that a jihadi "squad" is responsible for the attack.

On the evening of September 16, 2009, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call after a woman began acting erratically at a restaurant and was unable to pay her bill. The woman was 24-year-old Mitrice Richardson, who was arrested when officers arrived at the scene and discovered marijuana in her possession. Despite the discovery of the drug, Mitrice was found to be sober. She was taken to the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station and, after raising concerns over her mental wellbeing, Mitrice’s mother was assured that she would not be released until the following morning. However, this was not to be the case. Mitrice was instead released that night at 12:38am with none of her belongings and no means of contacting anyone.

Just hours later, Mitrice was allegedly seen “resting” in the backyard of Bill Smith, a former news anchor. Neighbours of Smith’s claimed to have heard and seen various things, including a woman’s voice in his tennis courts, Mitrice either attempting to leave or gain entry to Smith’s house, and screams which seemed to be coming from a vacant house. From here on, there is no evidence that Mitrice was seen alive ever again.

Over the next several months, extensive searches were carried out, involving a huge number of volunteers. The searches proved fruitless until August 2010, when Mitrice’s mummified remains were discovered in a creek bed in Malibu Canyon. She was found naked, her clothes lying 100 about 100 feet away. Upon the discovery of her body, detectives removed the corpse against the Coroner’s orders, possibly destroying evidence. It was ruled that no foul play was involved in Mitrice’s death.

Mitrice’s parents have brought civil law suits against the county, maintaining that their daughter should never have been released under the circumstances. They were awarded over $1 million in damages in 2011. An investigation was carried out, but no charges were brought against anyone involved with the decision to release Mitrice.

If you could know the solution to one unsolved crime, which one would you choose?

Oh wow, you literally have no idea how often I think about this !!! It’s so so difficult for me to narrow it down to one but I’ll try my best. I get super super invested in missing persons cases and there’s so many cases I’m curious about, but the first that came to mind is the Springfield Three. I’ve been interested in their case for a while now and I’d love to know what happened to them! I’d also love the chance to know who the Original Night Stalker was because he absolutely terrifies me and it’d be interesting to put a face to his crimes!

[ah112263]

While the Original Night Stalker is a strong contender for myself, I think that I would have to say that I would want to know who Jack the Ripper was. That was the earliest unsolved true crime case that I ever became interested in, and because there has been so much speculation over the years, I would love to have a definitive answer.

[cemetery-john]

I almost included Jack the Ripper in my answer! Either him or the Zodiac Killer was probably the first serial killer I ever read about, both of whom I'd love to know the identity of.

[cemetery-john]

What types of cases do you like researching the most?

I’ve always always been obsessed with missing persons cases. I’m really into unsolved serial killings too, so I guess I pretty much like anything thats unsolved or has a mystery to it!

[cemetery-john]

i'm super bored so here's a challenge: blow up your raincoat with a blowdryer so it makes you look all puffy and post the video :') sorry lol

i’m not confident enough to film myself nor do i own a raincoat haha, and don’t be sorry 😂

The morning that Holly Bobo (20) disappeared, her brother Clint saw her with her abductor, but he only realized what had happened when it was too late.

Holly, who was a nursing student from Darden, Tennessee, woke up early on April 13th, 2011, because she had an exam. Her parents had left the house by 7 am and said goodbye to her, while Clint was still asleep. Around 7:50, Clint was woken up by dogs barking, looked outside through the window and saw a strange scene: Holly was kneeling down, looking very upset and saying things like “No, why?”. In front of her was a man, also kneeling, talking to her in a quiet voice. Clint couldn’t see or hear them well, and he assumed it was Holly’s boyfriend, Drew Scott, breaking up with her.

But then minutes after he received a call from his mother Karen from work, who was alarmed because a neighbor had called her telling her that they’d heard a scream from the Bobo’s home. Karen told Clint to call 911. Looking out of the window again, Clint saw his sister walking to the woods with the same man from before, who was dressed in camouflage. When he went outside to catch them, he noticed a pool of blood next to Holly’s car. Later testing revealed it was hers.

Holly’s remains were found in September 2014, in a wooded area 32 miles away from Darden. By then, police already had arrested suspects for the crime, although the little has been revealed about the actual investigation and discoveries. Currently, there are three men charged for the abduction, rape and murder of Holly. One is Zachary Adams (30), who was arrested in March 2014. Adams has a long criminal history, including shooting his own mother when he was 19. His brother Dylan, who is another of the charged men, confessed to investigators he had seen Holly alive at his brother’s living room after her disappearance and that he and his brother had raped her and Zachary had videotaped it. He later claimed it was a coerced confession. The third man  is Jason Autry (40), a friend of Adams who according to the prosecution helped in the murder and hiding of the body.

Other three men have been named in connection to the case: brothers Jeff and Mark Pearcy, who weren’t charged, and Shayne Austin, who committed suicide in February of 2015.

A date for the trial hasn’t been set yet, but the judge said it likely wouldn’t be until 2017.

[fletchermarple]

Update: After several delays, the trial for the murder of Holly Bobo started on September 11, 2017. It started with a gruesome description of how Holly died, according to the prosecution: they said Adams asked Jason for help in disposing her body after he’d drugged, raped and supposedly killed her. He had her wrapped in a blanket but when they were going to throw her in the river, they realized she was still alive so Adams shot her in the head. You can watch their opening statement here.

The defense says that Adams is innocent and didn’t even know Holly, and that there’s no real evidence against him. You can hear their statements here.

This is a case with the death penalty on the table and it’s likely to get a lot of attention in the upcoming days.

Luis Garavito is a Columbian serial killer and rapist who targeted young boys who were either orphaned, poor or homeless. He would disguise himself as different characters, such as a priest or a farmer, before luring the boys away by offering them work or a small gift. Once he had gained the child’s trust, he would take them for a walk and waited until they got tired before raping and torturing them. Most victims had their throats cut and were then dismembered.

Many of the victims were not reported missing due to their circumstances and, despite bodies turning up all over Columbia, authorities did not begin investigating until mass graves were discovered in 1997. It was now evident that a serial killer was at large, and the murderer was dubbed ‘La Bestia’, which translates to ‘The Beast.’

In February 1998, a note with an address written on it was found at a crime scene. The address was that of Garavito’s girlfriend, who gave police a bag of his possessions, including pictures of young boys and journals which detailed the murders. Garavito was arrested on April 22, 1999, after attempting to rape a young boy. He denied being ‘La Bestia’, but DNA samples secretly taken from his cell matched DNA found at one of the crime scenes.

Garavito has confessed to the murders of 140 children. However, he was charged with 172 murders, spanning over 59 Columbian towns and seven years. He was found guilty of 138 killings, with the other cases still ongoing. Garavito was sentenced to 1,835 years imprisonment, but Columbian law limits imprisonment to a maximum of 30 years. His sentence was further reduced to 22 years after he helped police recover the bodies of his victims.

An investigation is currently underway in Brazil, following claims that up to 20 members of an isolated Amazonian tribe were murdered by a group of gold miners who wanted to seize their land. The claims were made by two miners, who drunkenly bragged about the killings in a bar. The tribe is said to have been collecting eggs by a river when they encountered the miners, who murdered them, cut up their bodies and disposed of them in the river. The miners, who have both been arrested, said it was a “kill or be killed” situation. The massacre allegedly took place last month in the Javari Valley of Brazil.

As the tribes in this area are uncontacted and little is known about them, it will be difficult to verify these claims. Furthermore, this isn’t the first investigation of this kind in Brazil. Just earlier this year, the slaughter of uncontacted Indians in the same region was also reported and investigated. Indigenous tribes are extremely vulnerable when it comes to land disputes and it is thought that many are killed in similar situations, although its difficult to confirm.

The Monster of Florence is a serial killer responsible for 8 double murders in Italy between 1968 and 1985. The victims were young couples, either camping in the area or parked in lover’s lanes at night. The female victims were often subjected to genital mutilation.

The courts believe that the murders were actually the work of a group of perpetrators rather than one individual. Although there have been several arrests and convictions in connection with the case, its doubted that the Monster of Florence has ever truly been identified.
