The Academy at Ivy Ridge was a “behavior correction institution for troubled teens” that operated from 2001-2009 in Ogdensburg, New York. Started by Robert Lichfield, Ivy Ridge claimed to be a school that taught kids honor, respect, and loyalty.

Recently, survivors returned to the abandoned school and found troves of files and footage of what happened there; they are now speaking out in the hopes of holding those responsible accountable and bringing awareness to these types of institutions that still exist today.  If you or someone you know is struggling, you can contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 or going to 988lifeline.org.

David Parker Ray is often regarded as a true monster due to his heinous acts. It is believed that from the mid-1950s until 1999, the year he was finally apprehended, he kidnapped, raped, tortured, and ultimately killed an estimated 40 to 60 individuals, with a significant portion of these victims being women. His reign of terror came to an end thanks to the incredible bravery of a survivor, Cynthia Vigil, who managed to escape from what he referred to as his “toy box.” This courageous act led to the eventual arrest of Ray and his accomplices, who were subsequently sentenced to prison for their appalling crimes. To this day, the FBI continues to seek the public's assistance in identifying numerous items that were collected during the investigation, which includes jewelry and women’s clothing they believe once belonged to Ray's victims. The FBI has asked that family members and friends of missing individuals review the photos of these items and to get in touch if they recognize anything that may provide crucial leads in the ongoing investigation.

In the 1970s, serial killer Rodney Alcala killed at least 7 people in California, New York, and likely many other states. When he was arrested, hundreds of photographs of men, women, and children were found that he had taken as a “professional photographer”, and many were extremely explicit. While he was eventually convicted of 7 murders and other crimes, it is believed the hundreds of unidentified subjects of his photographs could be victims of Alcala’s that are currently cold cases. Here are the photos that have been shared with the police asking for the public’s help in identifying the people in them. If you have information about the identities of the people in the photographs, you can contact Sgt. Sam Shepherd with the Huntington Beach Police Department at (714) 536-5947.

In 1971, Philip Zimbardo recruited participants to take on the roles of “prisoners” and “guards” to investigate the psychological effects of perceived power; Zimbardo's primary reason for conducting the experiment was to focus on the power of roles, rules, symbols, group identity and situational validation of behavior that generally would repulse ordinary individuals. But the experiment had to be terminated over a week earlier than expected due to how the participants began to act. Today, the findings of Zimbardo are debated, as is the methodology and ethical considerations of the actual experiment.
