A woman hides her face from the camera after putting her children up for sale, Chicago, 1948. Farmers John and Ruth Zoeteman bought two of the children for only $2 and were often called ‘‘slaves’‘ by their new guardians, who chained them up in a barn and forced them to work long hours on the field. Sisters RaeAnn and Sue Ellen reunited for the first time in 2013, at the ages of 70 and 67.
On 22 August 1972, John Wojtowicz and two accomplices attempted to rob a Brooklyn branch of the Chase Manhattan bank. Wojtowicz was motivated to rob the bank because he wanted to pay for his partner’s gender reassignment surgery. Wojtowicz was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In 1975 - while Wojtowicz was still behind bars - a movie about the event titled “Dog Day Afternoon” was released. Wojtowicz gave the money earned from the movie to his partner and she was finally able to have the gender reassignment surgery she had wanted for years. John Wojtowicz died of cancer in 2006.
On June 26, 1982, the decomposing remains of a young man were found in the Snake River in Nez Perce County, Idaho. Snake River John Doe, nicknamed after the river he was found in, had been deceased for 2-3 weeks before his discovery and had been shot twice; once in the neck and on the left shoulder. It is believed that John Doe was shot with a .38 caliber Smith and Wesson 36 Centennial Model, which hasn’t been manufactured since 1967; around 15 years before John Doe was discovered.
As of 2018, 2 missing persons have been excluded as being Snake River John Doe per NamUs:
Gary Gutierrez of Washington missing since 1979
Sean Phelan of California missing since 1981
Snake River John Doe was a white male between the ages of 13-22, though it is more likely he was 18-22 years old. He stood at 5′11″ (180 cm), weighed between 145-160 pounds (65-72 kg), and had black hair that was around 3-4 inches long. He has a scar on his lower right leg that was roughly 2 inches long and he had excellent dental care with no signs of cavities or treatment. He was found wearing designer Britania jeans over blue California Sun swimming trunks with red and white stripes down the sides, white socks with blue and red stripes near the top and blue bikini-style underwear. If you have any information regarding the identity of Snake River John Doe, please contact the Nez Perce County Coroner’s Office at 208-799-3074.

On August 8th, 2008, Amanda Lewis placed a 911 call from her modest Florida home stating that she found her 7-year-old daughter, Adrianna, in the family pool and didn’t appear to be breathing. The young girl was rushed to the hospital where she died only an hour later. Initially, her death was treated as an accident until her 5-year-old half-brother stepped forward and claimed that he personally witnessed his mother dunking Adrianna’s head in the pool as punishment. Investigators took a fresh look around the house that now appeared to be a crime scene. Right off the bat, they noticed something peculiar–neither Adrianna or her half-brother A.J. had any toys in the house. When Amanda was questioned about that, she claimed that she took them away for a week as punishment and stored them in the shed. However, when they searched through the shed, they failed to find any toys. The emergency room physician who handled the girl’s medical care had also noted that when she informed Amanda that her daughter had died, she didn’t have much of a reaction, which she found odd. Amanda was put to take a polygraph test, which she failed. It was discovered that Adrianna was diagnosed with ADHD. Although she was a happy and outgoing child, she also had some behavioral problems. A.J., however, was a calm and quiet child who was able to sit by himself and play, not causing his mother any trouble.
In court, her son was put on the stand to testify against his own mother, even drawing a picture to delineate what he’d witnessed her do. There were some doubts as to whether or not he was telling the truth, as his story changed multiple times and was shaky at best. The defense argued that his grandfather was coaching him on what to tell. In the end, however, Amanda Lewis was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.
On the 20th of June, 2018, 10-year-old Antony Avalos was found unresponsive in his home in Lancaster, California, where he lived with his mother, Heather Maxine Barron, and his stepfather, Kareem Ernesto Leiva. They claimed that Anthony had taken a tumble down the stairs. The following day, Anthony died in hospital; his cause of death was a traumatic brain injury and a brain bleed. His body showed that he had suffered unimaginable torture, abuse, and neglect in the weeks running up to his death. He was riddled in bruises, lacerations, burns, and was malnourished. Both Barron and Leiva were arrested on the spot.
The abuse that was inflicted to Anthony by two people who should have cared for him included being whipped with a belt and cord and having hot sauce poured over his face and mouth. Barron and Leiva would often hold Anthony up by his feet and drop him on his head repeatedly, sometimes even from the top of the stairs. Anthony was even burned with cigarettes, starved and banned from using the toilet. Anthony’s eight siblings witnessed the torture and abuse and were sometimes even forced to take part. They were forced to fight Anthony and keep watch “so he would remain standing or kneeling.” At one point, Anthony couldn’t walk or stand up. He would lie on the floor unconscious for hours and couldn’t even eat on his own.
It soon emerged that child services had been called 16 times over concerns that he - and his siblings - were being abused. Anthony had even been over from the home for several months when some of the reports of abuse were substantiated. Tragically, he was subsequently returned when his mother received in-home counselling. Anthony’s own aunt, Maria Barron, reported his mother and his stepfather to officials and to Anthony’s school but nothing was done. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that other calls included sexual, emotional, physical abuse and neglect. When he was just 4-years-old, it was reported that Anthony had been sexually assaulted by a family member; the case was closed when it was determined his mother was properly caring for him.
An investigation soon revealed a motivation for the torture: Anthony had came out as gay to his friends and family just weeks before he died. His aunt said Anthony told his mother that “he liked boys,” adding that it would have taken him great courage for him to come out, especially to his mother and stepfather who already treated him so cruelly. After Anthony came out, the torture intensified. His funeral was held at a church in Quartz Hill where Anthony lived. At the request of his family, mourners wore superhero shirts. “It’s a pain that I can’t describe, and I hope no one else goes through what I am going through,” said his father, Victor Avalos, who lived in Mexico.
In early November, 2018, Heather Maxine Barron and Kareem Ernesto Leiva were charged in a grand jury arraignment with capital murder and torture. With the change, they will be moved to trial.
Recent mugshots of Shelia Eddy and Rachel Shoaf, who are serving time in Lakin Correctional Facility for stabbing their friend, 16-year-old Skylar Neese, to death. Shelia was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 15 years. Rachel was only charged with second-degree murder as she cooperated with police by confessing and leading them to the spot where Skylar was killed. She was sentenced to 30 years, but will be eligible for parole in 15 years.

Crime News, December 11th, 2018: Alvin Avon Braziel Jr. (43) is scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas tonight.
Alvin Braziel was sent to death row in 2001 after being convicted of the 1993 murder of Douglas White (27), who Braziel fatally shot twice after a failed robbery. After murdering Douglas White, Braziel raped his wife Lora White (23). Braziel was only identified via DNA evidence in this attack after he was imprisoned for a different offence - the sexual assault of a child.
Lora White said that she believed Braziel would have killed her also, had his gun not jammed when he attempted to shoot her as he had her husband. Douglas’ last words were: “Please God, don’t let him hurt Lora.” Braziel’s attorneys have continued to lodge appeals which, while unsuccessful this far, have not been exhausted completely. He is scheduled to die by lethal injection in less than 15 minutes.
The 1998 skull X-ray of Michael Hill, who was stabbed in the brain with an 8-inch knife. He made the Guinness Book of World Records for the ‘’Largest Objects Removed from the Human Skull’’. Although he survived without any infection, the knife had paralyzed his left hand and caused damage to his memory.
The Hammer Maniacs were only 19-years-old when they committed a string of macabre murders during a one-month span in the summer of 2007, killing a total of 21 people in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Victims were seemingly chosen at random, usually targeting those who were vulnerable to attack such as children, homeless people, and the elderly. They brutally killed their victims by repeatedly striking their faces with a hammer or other blunt object, leaving them unrecognizable. Often, they mutilated and tortured their victims; some reportedly had their eyes gouged out while they were still alive. One pregnant woman had her fetus cut out from her womb. They took pride in their atrocious actions by photographing themselves with the bodies, or even filming themselves in the act of the murders. One of these videos, titled 3 Guys 1 Hammer, became viral online, which depicts the two boys murdering a man with a hammer and screwdriver over a four-minute time frame. The boys also showed up at many of their victims’ funerals and photographed themselves flipping off their coffins and gravestones.
The perpetrators were identified as Viktor Sayenko and Igor Suprunyuk. A third boy, Alexander Hanzha, was charged as well, although he never actually participated in the murders, rather he helped his friends rob the victims. The boys met each other at school and, by 14, had bonded over their fears. Igor and Viktor were both afraid of heights, so to combat this fear, they dangled themselves above a 14 story balcony for several hours. Alexander also had a blood phobia, so they helped their friend overcome his fear by torturing live animals. Viktor and Igor are currently serving life sentences, while Alexander will walk out of prison a free man in 2018.
Crime News, December 11th, 2018: Elizabeth Lecron (23) has been arrested for planning a bomb attack.
Elizabeth Lecron, known on tumblr as ‘charlestonchurchmiracle’, was arrested Monday and charged with the transportation of explosives and explosive material for the purposes of harming others and property. She first came to the FBI’s attention after someone reported to them that she had “expressed a desire to conduct a violent act.”
As they began to monitor her, the authorities became increasingly concerned to the point of great alarm - when they realised she was actively planning an act of terror. Authorities say she had had multiple plans for how to go about this, beginning with a plot to commit a mass shooting at a bar in Toledo, Ohio.
She had told an FBI undercover agent that the bar only had two exits and that she knew where they were, giving her an advantage in being able to kill as many people as possible. But then her plan changed to bombing a livestock farm with the goal of freeing the animals.
After this, she attempted to find such a farm but couldn’t, so she changed targets again. Her next plan was to commit a mass shooting at her place of work, which she was convinced was polluting the river behind it. By this point she had also bought an AK-47 rifle, a shotgun, multiple handguns and a large cache of ammunition.
The authorities were monitoring her extremely closely by this point, so knew immediately when she began to buy the components necessary to construct a bomb earlier this month. On December 8th, she purchased two pounds of Hodgson Triple Seven Muzzleloading Propellant, then bought 665 screws to use as shrapnel in the bomb from a sporting goods store.
Her final bombing target was to be an oil pipeline in the state of Georgia. When the FBI realised her planned attack was getting more and more realistic, they made the move to arrest her. Justin Herdman, the US attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, stated: “This defendant bought black powder and hundreds of screws that she expected would be used to make a bomb. Through her words and actions, she demonstrated that she was committed to seeing death and destruction in order to advance hate.”
Authorities say that, when told by an undercover agent her planned bombing would harm innocent bystanders, she said that they are: “part of the problem”. She is currently being held without bail and is to be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael Freeman. If convicted of these charges she faces a considerable prison sentence.
Ohio woman who idolized Columbine killers corresponded with Dylann Roof in prison and has been arrested due to plans of committing a mass attack at a bar.
“Combing through her social media, cops found Elizabeth Lecron posted frequently about the Columbine High School shooters, and glorified other mass murderers, like Roof, who killed nine people at a church in Charleston, S.C., in 2015. She even visited the Colorado school — where two students killed 13 people and then committed suicide in 1999 — in August, promising the trip would be “fun” and that she was eager to share photos.
Lecron maintained a Tumblr account called “CharlestonChurchMiracle,” which featured dozens of photos and GIFs of serial killers and mass murderers like Ted Bundy, Nikolas Cruz and Adam Lanza, all interspersed with posts referencing depression, according to a release from the Justice Department.”
A 23-year-old Ohio woman who worshiped the Columbine shooters as “God-like” and corresponded with Dylann Roof was arrested Monday for wh

15 year-old Kayla Reed was last seen at her family’s home in Livermore, California on December 2nd, 2005. According to her mother Angel Sheets, Kayla was a habitual runaway— and on the evening of December 2nd, Kayla allegedly was last seen with a full face of makeup on right before she told her mother she was going sleep. Due to this, Angel suspected that Kayla was going to sneak out to meet her friends that night. The following morning, Angel called the police around 10:30am to report that Kayla was gone.
Detectives showed up at Angel’s home shortly after she called to report Kayla missing, but when they knocked on the door, Angel did not answer. She later stated that she fell asleep and did not hear the detectives knocking on the door. Angel waited two more days before contacting the police again on December 5th, 2005. This time, she successfully filed a missing persons report for Kayla. However, Angel told detectives about her suspicions about Kayla sneaking out the night she vanished; due to this, Kayla was classified as a runaway.
Detectives initially focused on Kayla’s Myspace page in the early stages of the investigation, as it was theorized that Kayla might have met up with somebody she met on the site. That theory never panned out, as investigators could not find any evidence that Kayla was corresponding with somebody she did not know on Myspace. Then, on January 10th, 2006, the investigation took an unexpected turn: Kayla’s body was found floating in the Delta Mendota Canal. An autopsy was unable to determine her cause of death, but it was reportedly clear that she had been murdered. Additionally, the autopsy revealed that Kayla had been dead for over a month by the time she was found—the same amount of time she had been missing.
A year and a half after Kayla’s body was found, investigators announced that Kayla’s mother, Angel, was a person of interest in Kayla’s murder. Angel’s friend, Dennis Murphy, was also declared a person of interest. Throughout the investigation, detectives learned that Angel and Dennis were the last known people to have seen Kayla alive. Both Angel and Dennis also gave conflicting stories to detectives as well. Angel originally stated that she was the only other person in the house on the evening of December 2nd. Later, she admitted that Dennis had come over that night to do meth. Angel said that before she went to bed that night, she asked Dennis to keep an eye on Kayla in case she tried to sneak out. When Angel woke up the next morning, she said that both Kayla and Dennis were gone. Dennis, on the other hand, admitted to going to Angel’s house on the evening of December 2nd, but he told police that he left when Angel and Kayla began to argue. He said that he returned to Angel’s house the following morning, and at that time, Kayla was gone and Angel seemed upset.
Despite their conflicting statements, neither Angel nor Dennis have been charged with anything related to Kayla’s death. Many of Kayla’s other family members believe that Angel knows exactly what happened to Kayla and that her “lifestyle” is likely what lead to Kayla’s death. The investigation into Kayla’s case is still ongoing today. If you have any information that could lead to an arrest, please contact the Livermore Police Department at (925) 371-4900.
Burned Alive, the Murder of Kim Antonakos
“Life sucks,” were the last words Kimberly Antonakos (20) heard before being doused in gasoline and burned alive. It was senseless murder committed by someone she thought of as a friend.
Kim was a college student from Queens and the only daughter of Thomas Antonakos, a wealthy man who doted on her. The night of March 1st, 1995, after returning home from a night out, two men grabbed her before she could open her garage, bound, gagged and blindfolded her and threw her in the trunk of her own car. Then they took her to the basement of an empty house where they tied her to a chair and left her there with no blankets, food or water.
The two kidnappers were Jose “Joey” Negron and Nicholas Libretti. None of them knew Kim, but they were acting on orders of someone who did. Joshua Torres (23 at the time) was the real mastermind behind the kidnapping. He was dating one of Kim’s best friends, and at the time of the abduction, he was actually staying at Kim’s house, after Kim had kindly offered him and his girlfriend a place to stay while they solved an issue with their apartment.
Torres had noticed the Antonakos had money, and came up with an extortion plot that went horribly wrong. The plan was to kidnap Kim and ask her father for a $75,000 ransom. The problem was not of the kidnappers was too bright, and they never properly contacted Mr. Antonakos to actually ask for the money, which he had undoubtedly paid to get his daughter back. Instead, Kim was left in that freezing basement for three days without any food or warmth. On March 4th she was practically unconscious and, with the police actively looking for her, Torres decided it was better to get rid of the evidence. He poured some gasoline on top of her and, after kissing her goodbye and whispering “life sucks”, he lit her on fire.
The criminals couldn’t stay quiet for long. Joey Negron, who had made a tape of them discussing the crime for insurance, was later murdered in the street, allegedly by Joshua Torres although he was later acquitted of this crime for lack of evidence. Torres babbled to some people about what he’d done, including a girlfriend he later beat up so she’d stay quiet. Eventually, the star witness of the prosecution turned out to be the fourth man involved in the plot: Julio Negron (no relation to Joey), who’d dated Kim before her murder and finally had a crisis of conscience that led him to give a statement that helped police arrest and convict Torres.
Both Torres and Libretti were convicted of Kim’s kidnapping and murder in separate trials and sentenced to the maximum at the time, which was 58 and a half years.
“As long as he’s functioning as a lawyer, everything is real cool with Ted. Then when something reminds him that he’s the prisoner, you sense these flashes of anger, hostility. He’s always got to be the superstar. But he’s only good in the first quarter of whatever game he’s in. Then something happens.” ~ District Attorney Blakey.
22 year-old Cheyann Klus has been missing since December 1st, 2017. Around the time of her disappearance, Cheyann was going through a rough time in her life. Her mother had passed away a month earlier, and according to her friends, Cheyann was very depressed after her mother’s death. However, she had recently started seeing a 38 year-old man named Brian Biddle who appeared to be helping her through her grief. Much like Cheyann, Brian liked to party—despite the fact that he was almost 2 decades older than her.
A few days before her disappearance, Brian sent an Uber to pick Cheyann up and bring her to his home in Downer’s Grove, Illinois. The two apparently partied together all day and all night. During that time, Cheyann was texting back and forth with her friend Chad Chanapai, who said that Cheyann seemed to be her normal, happy self. About a day and a half later, things changed. Chad started receiving a flurry of texts from Cheyann around 2am asking to be picked up. When he tried to call Cheyann back about 20 minutes later, she wasn’t responding. Chad then got in touch with Brian, who told him that he had been asleep for 18 hours and when he woke up, Cheyann was gone.
After days passed without any sign of Cheyann, her family knew something was wrong. Cheyann hadn’t updated any of her social media accounts, which was quite uncharacteristic of her. It was also unusual for her to be out of touch with her family and friends. Then, 12 days after Cheyann vanished, a phone call to 911 was made from her phone. The caller hung up before the operator could say anything. It is still unclear if Cheyann herself made the call, or if it was somebody else in possession of her phone. The call pinged off a tower near Mallard Lake Forest Preserve, located around 20 miles away from Cheyann and Brian’s respective homes. That area was searched, but it is unclear if anything significant was found.
Many people believe that Brian had something to do with Cheyann’s disappearance, since he was the last person known to have been with her. However, detectives working the case are currently not calling Brian a suspect. He has reportedly been cooperative and they have not found any evidence that he knows what happened to her.
Meanwhile, Cheyann remains missing and police are looking for leads. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please contact the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office at (630) 407-2569.
