Has anyone ever been to Court T.V.‘s “Crime Library” website? I LOVE this website - it is better than reading a damn book! I don’t know why, but I love reading about this kind of stuff - maybe because when I read about how f—ked up and crazy some of these people are - I feel somewhat relieved that I am not that screwed up - well I haven’t gone around hackin people up…yet - tee hee.
I started reading this website when Dena and I started investigating the Taylor Behl/Skulz case (a local Virginia college student) back in September/October of 2005. And by investigate, I mean act like we know more than the police do and drive our husbands crazy while we make them think that we actually believe we are investigating the case - then calling Dena’s son twenty times a day for a month and asking him to go to different spots throughout the college campus to collect evidence to support our case (to which we usually got hung up on and told to stop it - he goes to the same school that Taylor did). You should read up on this one - Skulz (the killer) kept tons of online journals and the pictures of where they finally found Taylor were on one of his websites the entire time - while he aided in the search for her.
Anyways, if you have not been to this site and want some interested reading - go! Here are a couple good stories that are worth the read:
Deborah Gardner:
Dubbed the most beautiful girl in the Peace Corps, she is stabbed in Tonga by another Peace Corps worker who is alive and well and free in New York City.
Mary Bell:
Who could look at the face of this sweet 10-year-old girl and ever imagine her to be one of the youngest serial killers ever discovered. Was this youngster who killed her playmates without any feelings of guilt the result of a monstrous family or a bad seed or something else?
The Black Dahlia:
Hollywood’s most famous murder case took place in post-war Los Angeles. Elizabeth Short, an engagingly attractive young woman was found brutally murdered and dumped in a vacant lot. She was called the “Black Dahlia” because she always dressed in black. This unsolved case became an obsession and will continue to be legendary when the Black Dahlia movie comes out this fall with an all-star cast.
Lizzie Borden:
This classic has to be one of the most enduring murder mysteries America has ever produced. Elderly Andrew Borden, still in his heavy morning coat, reclines on a mohair-covered sofa, his boots on the floor so as not to soil the upholstery. As he naps, his wife, Abby, is on the floor of the guestroom upstairs, dead for the past hour and a half, killed by the same hand, with the same axe, that is about to strike him, as he sleeps.
