True Crime Freak? I Got You!
Bob Spangler not only got away with the premeditated murders of his wife of 23 years & their two children, but he also killed at least one more wife and walked. Had he not possessed an ego the size of Texas, this serial killer would certainly never have been caught…
A few hours later, the doctor grabbed a ball peen hammer from the garage, walked to his bedroom where Lillian lay sleeping, and bashed his wife’s head in. It’s said she did not scream, and the children were not alerted. Sadly the blow to the head did not immediately kill her, the cause of death was asphyxiation – Lillian had been left to slowly drown on her own blood…
She drove to the home where her 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son resided with their father. The boy, who just so happened to be home alone when his mother showed up, let his mama come inside – why wouldn’t he? It was Christmas time, and mama had come bearing gifts; sadly there was no way the boy ever would’ve dreamt that his mama was packing a gun and a tazer…
I will never understand this case isn’t better known. 47 year old Ronald “Gene” Simmons was single handedly responsible for this 1987 Christmas Massacre. It is the worst family annihilator case in the US, though he killed more than just family…
This is one of the cases which I kept thinking about when Chris Watts claimed that Shan’ann had been responsible for killing the girls. It really is a likely story, one which has been used by countless murderous husbands…
This is one of the most frustrating cases I’ve ever researched, mostly because it could’ve been prevented. My question for you: if a parent is a murder suspect, especially when they’re suspected of killing the child’s other parent, should they still be permitted access to the children?
The adults in the flat decided that an exorcism must be performed on the children, and so the torture began. The siblings were severely beaten, threatened with a knife, and one of the sisters was forced to eat a lightbulb. Eric’s reasoning for this torture was to get the siblings to confess; he even insisted that the children jump out of a window to see if they could fly. Eventually most of the kids admitted to bringing witchcraft with them, and their torture was mostly over; at that point they were all forced to help torture their brother, Kristy…
17 year old Jake Evans had become obsessed with Rob Zombie’s remake of the movie HALLOWEEN. The young man was impressed with how a young killer in the movie felt no remorse when he murdered his family, and Jake believed that he could be like that. He became obsessed with thought of killing his own family which consisted of three sisters, his mother, and his grandparents…
The boys didn’t suffer anywhere near as much as their female siblings. The oldest son, Howard, couldn’t stand living in that house, nor the torture inflicted upon his sisters at the hands of their mother. He left, and that’s when things really went to hell for the girls. One by one they were forced into prostitution, and eventually two of the girls lost their lives. Theresa even enlisted her two remaining sons to help carry out the torture and murders of their sisters…
The Kunz family lived near the itty bitty town of Athens, and its safe to say that they were a bit odd. The family consisted of six: there were 4 siblings, Clarence, 76, Irene, 81, Helen, 70, Marie, 72, and Helen’s 2 adult sons, Randy and Kenneth. They lived together in this tiny rundown farm house in the woods – well, most of them. Kenneth lived in a little trailer next to the house on the family’s 108 acre property. They were a family of severe hermits; those living nearby knew next to nothing of the reclusive family, many weren’t even aware of their existence at all. Kenny was a bit better socialized than the others, he worked at a local mill (nobody else in the family ever held a job or even left the property) and sometimes went out for drinks. That said, he was still painfully shy and very socially awkward…
This is Cody Posey. Cody murdered his entire family when he was 14 years old; just a few years later, at age 21, he was released back into society. This is his story.
On Friday, June 22nd of 2007, Nancy lost her life. She was killed in a second story room; her limbs had been bound, a cord wrapped around her throat, and she was strangled. There were bruises on her stomach and back from where Chris had pressed his knee into her, and at some point Nancy had suffered a blow to the head. When she was deceased, Nancy was covered with a towel and a Bible was place near her body. Toxicology later proved that Vicodin and Xanax had been in her system, but sources claim that these were her everyday medications…
Alyssa would later say that she noticed a change in her husband almost immediately after their daughter moved in; Steven had not only begun to dress younger, but his personality was much different as well. Before long the mother realized that Steven had been sleeping on the floor of their oldest daughter’s room, which was concerning; when Alyssa confronted Steven about his actions, he and Katie left the home. She only discovered the affair about a year later; can you imagine the shock Alyssa must’ve felt when she read in her 11 year old’s diary that Steven had instructed her to address her big sister, Katie, as Stepmom and that Katie was soon going to give birth to their dad’s baby?
