Before the Suitcases: The Melanie McGuire Story
No one expects evil to arrive wearing scrubs and carrying a lunch bag. Melanie McGuire looked correct. That was the first deception, and it wasn’t even intentional. A fertility nurse. A mother. A woman living in New Jersey suburbia where lawns are trimmed and lives are assumed to be manageable. She fit so cleanly into the picture of normal life that no one thought to question the frame.

Take it to the Bank. Content Warning.
The most vulnerable of us can take a care ride to the mall. We might go for that shopping trip as though it were a normal, everyday trip. On August 31st,1999, Mary Bowles, was a retiree who just wanted to go to Promenade Mall in Tulsa. She was there to do a little shopping and do some walking because it was too hot to walk outside. Our gal, Mary, wanted to get some afternoon walking in, and the Promenade Mall in Tulsa was a good place to go. Benches spread out and good air conditioning along with lots of places to get something cold to drink, she would have a safe time walking in there. If she had only made it inside the mall. The mall often had walkers throughout the day, so this was her way of keeping up with her exercise as a number of seniors did.

Crime Chronicles: Darya Nikolaevna Saltykova
A little while ago, we covered the story of Delphine LaLaurie (1787 - 1849), the New Orleans socialite who tortured and murdered her slaves. We also covered Erzsebet Bathory (1560 - 1614), who did the same thing in Hungary around 200 years before that; I didn't think I'd find another one, but I did - in Russia.

Oklahoma Murder for Hire. Content Warning.
Murder for hire in 1988 must have been a real monster of a time to find for a woman who was bored, and just lazy. A woman that claimed she was abused, knew how to work a young man up, back in those days it was much easier to find “a knight in shining armor”. Men all over wanted to be one, no man how scuzzy they really were.

Murders of Innocence. Content Warning.
There is something to be said about childhood trauma. It somehow has a way of showing its ugly head in the life of all monsters. I know it’s only one fact that goes into the making of a monster, hear me out. I know there are other little buildings blocks associated with the “build a little monster kit” most parents don’t even realize they come equipped with in their arsenal of unloving. Yes, I know what I said.

Tremane and Jake Wood. Content Warning.
Oklahoma city’s Brick Town. It’s a popular area. It attracts tourists and the locals as though it was honey for a bear. And it can be a honey trap for some. Travelers and college students are so easily fooled when they are young.
