"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.” - Helen Keller“

Mark wonders if it’s finally happened. If he’s found what he’s searched for so many years. A spiritual awakening. Mark is ushered to a tub filled with water and herbs.
Necklaces are held out in front of him, and it takes a moment to realize he’s supposed to pick. He chooses one. The man holding the necklace mumbles, “Eshu. Trickster.”
Mark is told to kneel, his head then submerged in water. Baptized. When Mark comes up gasping for air, herbs are being rubbed into his skin. He knows from within he is a new person.

In part one you were introduced to our flea-bitten Romeo and Juliet, Amanda and Jerad Miller. Jerad, unwashed and dressed in flea market chic, told you all about his beliefs about the New World Order.
Amanda made a post on Facebook on how she daydreamed about the end of the world. How she wanted to kill the unbelievers with a shotgun when that day came.
Today, we bring everything home. Let's explore their violent end.

Peter Sotos is potentially the single most controversial figure in True Crime. A godfather of the genre, he pushed the boundaries in ways that made even yours truly uncomfortable.
This is a collaborative project put together with fellow True Crime creator T.Z. Borden. He's the host and creator of the excellent Tapes from the Darkside podcast. A podcast that takes you down the darkest roads the genre has on offer. When he asked me to collaborate on this project I couldn’t resist.
Borden aptly titled the episode Modern De Sade. What you’re going to hear is an expertly edited episode, crafted by Mr. Borden, which runs for 90 mins. Much of the episode features a conversation between me and TZ.
Tapes from the Darkside Website.

The call was originally dispatched as "sister freaked out and boyfriend is bleeding. Possibly stabbed in arms." What the officer found was equally horrifying and mysterious.

Heather drifts back to sleep. Another creak. She sits up. There is a man crouched at the end of your bed.

Around 10 p.m. on January 30, 1993, Lynette Tschida went to the Winn Dixie store in Eustis, Florida. It was at the Grove Square Shopping Center in Lake County. She saw a young man and a teenage boy sitting on a bench near the entrance of the store.
As she walked in the store, she noticed how intense the older one was. He was tall, muscular. His smooth, but dark skin and handsome features betrayed by a scowl. He watched Lynette enter the store and she felt his eyes on her back as the automatic doors slid shut.

Her mother told her that her bed was freshly made with clean sheets. If Bresenia wanted to sleep with the puppy, then it needed to be in the living room. It was an easy choice. Raul Flores and Gina Marie Gonzalez, his wife, are sleeping in their bed.

July 2009
Escambia County, Florida
Leonard “Patrick” Gonzales Jr., age 35, is broke. He’s desperate for cash. So desperate that his mom is paying his bills. Patrick, of course, finds this embarrassing. Against his wife Tabitha’s better judgment, he invested their savings into a Karate School. Savings that the two saved up together working at Long-Wiggins’ antique business.
But the Karate business, like 40 percent of businesses in the United States, went belly up. And that little venture has placed Patrick (and by extension Tabitha) in financial jeopardy. Patrick felt like he was letting his family down. Both his wife and his children. But he had an idea. His ticket out of this whole mess was 66-year-old Byrd "Bud" Starling Billings

Katherina “Katie” Allen is afraid of her husband. On Easter Sunday, the 42 year old woman packed her things and took the kids with her. The man she married, Kevin Allen, age 51, has a history of violence. A 20 year long rap sheet. Filled with domestic abuse and death threats against the four women he married in his life.
Katie was going to play it cool. She’d meet Kevin at Cracker Barrel for their daughter Kerri Allen’s birthday party. There, in a public space, she would tell her husband that she wanted a divorce. And if Kevin became violent there would be witnesses. Things don't go to plan.

Listener, rummaging through these old, discarded newspapers, it paints a picture for me. The image is of a community left in a state of terror. In which a man stretched his arm, and the people of Okaloosa recoiled. And this man, this monster was acting fast. But what he didn’t know is that investigators were on his tail. Closer than he realized.
Dr. Edmun Kielman and Chief Investigator Don Vinson were working in tandem. They had prints. They had DNA. Artists sketches. Eye witness reports. Investigator Don Vinson just needed to get there when the body was still hot. No decomposing corpse. Or someone discarded on the beach.

In an episode that spans decades I take a look at serial killer James Delano Winkles. His victims, the headlines of the day, and the disturbing court documents shine a spotlight on this relatively obscure case. This one gets vile at times.
Unfurling this spider's nest reveals a black pitch shadow cast by James Winkles over Pinellas County. Any woman left alone in his stomping ground lived in a quiet sort of danger. A starless and moonless night where the daughters of the working class vanished.

Nine-year-old Samuel James “Jimmy” Ryce is getting dropped off from his school bus at approximately 3:07 p.m. at a bus stop near his home in
the Redlands, a rural area of south Miami-Dade County. Jimmy is walking on the left side of the road. He has a short distance before he gets home.
Chavez spots Jimmy. His mind is all flashing images of prepubescent boys playing in water. But this boy is alone. And no one is around. Chavez turns the Ford Pickup around. He stops right in front of Jimmy’s path. The nose of the truck facing the nine-year-old.

Under a blue sky, filled with picturesque white clouds, Officer Hernandez approaches a seated Armando Silva. As Silva stands Hernandez announces, “How’s it going boss?” The tranquility of this scene will not last long.

She looks happy, and frankly, beautiful. She was celebrating a joyous occasion. Bringing a daughter into the world to light up her life. Give her meaning. Within a few months she would be stabbed 46 times. And allegedly by the loving son in her picture.

The fastest way up to the top of Mount Toubkal is a two day route. The two day route is a “simple up and down via the same trail from Imlil”. On the first day, you travel to Imlil). Once in Imlil, you take a four hour walk up the mountain to the refuge, and spend the night either in a tent or dorm. On the second day, you walk from the refuge to the summit. After spending time at the summit, you trek back down the mountain, all the way back to Imlil. There are many different routes you can take to get to the top of Mount Toubkal - this is just one example.

Imlil, Morocco
It’s early in the morning; two French hikers are on a “small hike” when they come “up on a plateau” about an hour into the hike. The hikers discover the bodies of Louisa and Maren on Mount Toubkal, around six miles from the center of Imlil.
That’s when they saw an open tent, and two “broken” girls outside of the tent.

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 - 202 - 86: Black Label: Uber - Part 01
As we live our lives, we have a broad belief that those around us are decent, kind, and humane human beings. We take for granted that people we encounter every day are like us. The reality is far bleaker and far crueller. The spectrum in which the human psyche lies is wide and it is vast. As humans we inevitably vary in our positions. We slide up or down that scale to a degree but overall, we don’t stray too far from our central point. Not everybody is like that. That is not the status quo for some.
Listener, this story is about the explosive and devastating collision of two worlds. One brilliant, bubbly and filled with light. The other dark and ominous with a heavy shadow. There was an unfair advantage in this collision, An unbalanced division of power and control. This rendered one party entirely powerless to win the fight.
In March 2019, under the cover of darkness a predator silently hunted the streets of Five Points in Columbia, South Carolina. An animalistic repetitive prowling searching for a victim. When they did pounce, they caged in their prey leaving no means of escape. The innocence of a well-loved ambitious college student with everything to live for was ripped away during that assault. Brutalized in a frenzied, violent, and cold-blooded attack. She fought hard for her life that night, but when his eyes locked onto her as prey, she had no chance of survival.

There are several ways to get to the Yosemite National Park in Northern California, but the most scenic is a long, winding road through the mountains. As you drive north on Wawona Road, the small shrubs give way to the large pine trees that line the two-car road. The aroma of pine trees fill your car as you slowly drive left and right as the road follows the contours of the mountain. And then, when you turn around the final bend, you enter in a dark tunnel. The tunnel was carved directly through the mountain, through solid granite, and it’s the longest tunnel in the California Highway system at 4,233 feet. The darkness envelops you when you first enter the tunnel and at times it seems like it will never end.
But when you reach the end and finally exit the tunnel, light and warmth floods into the windshield and you are exposed to the most beautiful scenery in the Yosemite valley. From this location you can see El Capitan mountain to your left, a waterfall on your right, and in the rear, the famous Half Dome mountain. It is a stunning, picturesque landscape and it immediately becomes obvious why Yosemite National Park has almost four million visitors every year.
Unfortunately for four innocent women, there's another darkness in the Yosemite valley area, and it isn't the tunnel. It’s a person, and though, he’s just a man of flesh and blood, he managed to cast a shadow over the valley. That shadow isn’t straight like the tunnel that leads into the valley. It is more like the winding road that leads up to it, with twists and turns and bends. Disfigured and ugly.

If this were a Hollywood movie, the story of Gary Ridgway would build to an explosive climax. Considering the path he took, the events the unfolded, and the continued escalation… I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that. The end of a serial killer’s life of violence is often as dull as any other crime. A knock may come at the killer in questions door. They may be interrupted at their workplace. Asked to come downtown. There are exceptions of course. Richard Ramirez and Ted Bundy both had captured fit for the silver screen. Not Gary. No, Gary’s arrest, after a life of violent thrashing, came during a period of relative inactivity.

In 1995, 8-year-olds Melissa Russo and Julie Lejeune disappeared while playing in their neighbourhood in the south of Belgium. The following month, 17-year-old An Marchal and her 19-year-old friend Eefje Lambrecks disappeared on the north coast of the country while on a holiday with friends. There had been no sign of any of the girls, and their anguished families were without any answers. In mid-1996, 12-year-old Sabine Dardenne and 14-year-old Laetitia Delhez were abducted a month apart. Thanks to observant members of the public, police arrested unemployed electrician Marc Dutroux, his wife Michelle, and their accomplice Michel Lelievre for the abduction of Sabine. Unbeknownst to the Belgian public, Marc had already been convicted of raping 5 young women in the 1980s and had served prison time - but had been released well before the end of his sentence.

Free to wander the street and do as he pleased, Marc took up where he’d left off. But this time, he made sure that at least 4 of his victims wouldn’t live to tell the tale.
In 1996, with Marc, Michelle and Lelievre in custody, it was only then that 40 year old Marc revealed to police that he was also holding Laetitia captive. She and Sabine had both been kept in a dungeon in the cellar of Marc’s home, where they were repeatedly raped, but were thankfully rescued by police soon after. But Melissa, Julie, An, and Eefje were still missing. What investigators were about to uncover was something that pushed Belgians to the verge of revolt against their government.

In June 1995, 8-year-old friends Melissa Russo & Julie Lejeune went for a walk to a park near their neighbourhood outside the Belgian capital city of Brussels. When they failed to return home, their parents reported their disappearance to police. But nothing came of any subsequent publicity or desperate TV appeals. It was as though the pair had vanished into thin air.
2 months later, 17-year-old An Marchal & 19-year-old Eefje Lambrecks went out for the evening while on a Belgian seaside holiday with a group of friends. When the girls failed to return to their accommodation or make contact, the rest of their group knew something was very wrong. But local police failed to take the disappearance seriously.
In the spring of 1996, 12-year-old Sabine Dardenne was riding her bike to school near the French-Belgian border. When Sabine failed to show up at school that day or return home, posters were distributed in the local area. But no one had seen hide nor hair of her.
It wasn’t until August that same year, when 14-year-old Laetitia Delhez disappeared while walking home from her local swimming pool, that things started to heat up in terms of a police investigation. Local police patrols around the country weren’t aware of girls and young women going missing in other parts of Belgium, but one select police branch did. And a specific suspect was on their radar. Following witness tip offs, officers identified a man and brought him in for questioning. As he spoke to investigators, a horrifying story started to unfold. What the man had to tell police would rock Belgian law enforcement, the judiciary, and the very fabric of Belgian society and its people to the core for years to come.

David Joseph is in his home minding his own business when members of his family grab his attention. There’s a fire outside of their window and they want him to investigate. Outside there’s a woman. Her name is Hyphernkemberly Dorvilier and she’s twenty two years old. She’s standing over something and it’s on fire. David rightfully asks what she’s burning outside of his residence. Hyphernkemberly responds that it’s dog feces. Frustrated and likely confused by why this young woman is burning dog shit outside of his window, David grabs some water and puts out the fire. It’s at this moment he hears the baby crying.

Just because the portrayal has Voodoo hasn’t always been accurate, it doesn’t mean there aren’t those who have used inaccurate portrayals as a muse for their evil deeds.
In today’s episode we explore such crimes. Crimes with an air of mystery due to the obvious voodoo influence connected to them.

By the late 1990s and early 2000s, hundreds of children from West Africa were entering Britain and Europe every year under private fostering arrangements. The educational and personal development opportunities available to youngsters outside their home countries meant their families often sacrificed raising their children temporarily, to give them a better life elsewhere. Under this common tradition, a child usually lived with someone who was trusted, such as a family member who was already an EU or British resident or a citizen. In a way, it was the African equivalent to British parents sending their children away to elite boarding schools. And there was a convenient loophole, in Britain at least. Given the informality of these arrangements, any person who became a child’s primary guardian was not required to register as a foster parent. This meant there was therefore less monitoring of a child’s care under such an arrangement.
In a developed country like Britain, African parents were confident their children were in good hands. They were hopeful that their offspring would forge new friendships, thrive in a far more equitable school environment, and enjoy creature comforts they wouldn’t otherwise have been able to experience. And after all, children were always safest with family members, no matter how distant the blood ties. This is what the family of 7 year old Victoria Climbie thought when they sent her to France with her great aunt in 1998. Surely in Europe, Victoria would have a better life.

There was no hope for justice in a case like this. That went out the window long before an arrest was ever made. Be that as it may, Richardson had to be held accountable for his crimes. Prior to his guilty verdict, Richardson also needed to be given the benefit of the doubt. Regardless of how heinous a crime, all defendants have the right to a fair trial.
During this trial, jurors, police officers, court officials, and family members alike were brought to tears, often needing to leave the room as the ruins of Teagan Skiba’s unfathomable last days were put on display. Lawyers clinically refer to such ruins as ‘evidence.’ It's a deceptive description of what was being presented to the court. At one point, attorneys argued over whether or not the jury should see photographs of what happens when a four-year-old child experiences something the devil wouldn’t abide in the darkest caverns of hell.
Lucky jurors: someone had their best interests at heart.

The tropical archipelago of The Bahamas is surrounded by crystal clear waters, spectacular reefs and boasts some of The Caribbean’s most pristine beaches. The picture perfect setting is home to a relaxed pace of life, friendly locals, and around 340 days of sunlight per year. In March 2015, wealthy Australian celebrity podiatrist Phillip Vasyli and his family were living the dream in the exclusive gated community of Old Fort Bay. Phillip and his wife Donna had just finished putting the finishing touches to building their palatial dream home. It was the culmination of years of hard work on a business which was continuing to go gangbusters internationally.
But life in paradise isn’t always footloose and fancy free. Beneath the veneer of Phillip’s flashy product launches and extravagant parties, there was discontent in his personal life. His marriage to Donna was strained and the couple were known to argue frequently. But Phillip was highly successful and a real innovator in the podiatry industry. He owed much of this to Donna’s unwavering support and commitment to the business that had provided them with a lavish lifestyle few of us could hope to have. The future was bright for Phillip and his family. Until it suddenly went dark.

In part one of this series, I spoke directly with a victim of child abuse within the Science Fiction community. Moira, the victim in question, her parents put her through direct physical, mental, and sexual abuse. Marion Zimmer Bradley, Moira’s mother, now deceased, was a member of the SFWA. That’s important to note. A member of the SFWA.
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, founded in 1965, has not taken steps to condemn the actions of past members. Actions awful enough to make up at a minimum of three. This second part is going to have tunnel vision on an active member of the SFWA. But the next episode will take a scorched earth approach.

Listener, this is part one of a two-part series on the many crimes of science fiction authors. Let’s not sugar coat it. The sexual abuse of children committed by science fiction authors. We’re going to talk about the Science Fiction Writers of America. How I feel that they’re hypocrites. How the image the SFWA has cultivated doesn’t gel with the facts. Monstrous people that have been given the prestigious title of Grand Master and never denounced for their evil.

Dr. Ewan Cameron’s embodied the title of a mad scientist in ways few ever could. When learning of his practices, Ewan Cameron exhibits an unmistakable sadism that seems to eclipse even that of Sidney Gottlieb. Throughout his experiments, Cameron delivered massive quantities of drugs to unwitting patients under the guise that he was curing them of ailments such as postpartum depression or anxiety. These patients would come to Dr. Cameron for help, entrusting him to deliver the best care possible, and instead, they were subjected to nothing short of torture.

In 1953, a heinous crime was committed. At that time, it was new, potentially relevant information, when Harold Blauer’s doctor gave him a massive drug injection, killing him by way of an overdose. The news, however, didn’t report it until more than twenty years later. In this case news outlets reported on a story twenty years after the fact because the CIA had been covering it up.

In the digital age, monitoring the online content that our children are accessing and consuming adds a further layer of complexity. Most parents do their best to educate their kids and maintain open communication about the pitfalls of the online world and how to deal with it. But kids are tech savvy, naturally curious, and often defiant. Prior to the advent of social media, some degree of comfort and protection existed for kids who were being bullied, by being able to walk outside the school gate or step off the bus at the end of the day. For those children and teens who had a stable and loving home life, this could offer some respite from the jeers, cruel practical jokes and public humiliation dished out by their peers.
Nowadays, the rise of numerous social media platforms means there is no escape and no reprieve from bullying. It’s now as easy as the click of a button for bullies to launch and maintain relentless hate campaigns that make their targets feel unsafe in every aspect of their lives. Thankfully, many schools today have ‘zero tolerance’ anti-bullying policies. Encouraging regular conversations with our kids about inclusivity, respect and kindness also helps them to speak up early on when they recognize bullying behavior. But sometimes, even the best of intentions can’t prevent the unthinkable from happening.

We aren’t always honest about what we truly feel because we are unsure and unwilling to evoke unknown reactions from those around us. An internal pressure cooker can result. Boiling with more ferocity as time uncontrollably creeps forward. Either that dangerous steam is released healthily or it explodes pushing decisions that are devastatingly final and entirely irreversible.
Listener, the story you are about to hear is tragic and horrifying. Not everything is as it seems. The kind of individual who could carry out this crime is not one you want walking the streets. A person who is willing to do the unthinkable to protect their reputation. A complete lack of responsibility and unwillingness to face consequences leads to a shocking and brutal decision. It was a dark and devilish plan that failed miserably.

Confidence and self-belief can be beautiful powerful emotions enabling a positive life and a balanced way of living. They can be and should be used for good. But when accompanied by selfishness and egotistical arrogance, hand-in-hand in an unhealthy chain, they create a cesspit of danger. Darkness can find a way in, burrowing into its core.
In Texas, in 2015 a chance meeting and a single conversation turned into frightful violence in less than twelve hours. Like a pack of wolves in silent premonition, individuals intertwined and crept through the night with no forewarning to their unsuspecting target. It was their calculated decision to pick up a life and forcibly remove it taking away their future and their children’s chance of knowing them. It was a cold and heartless act that devastated lives.

The most dangerous person of all is one with a twisted inner mind who blends into society without being noticed. Quietly watching and planning. Considering their options while participating in normal family life as if all was well. These are the people who pose the most threat. They are the ones who rear up, violent and sudden with no warning and no precursor.
Defense against these attacks is almost always futile. What is left behind is a façade of innocence banking on previous good character and unimposing life to protect them and cover their hideous actions. Lives are taken and they are destroyed, and the perpetrator walks on. Unaffected, uncaring, and entirely self-serving. These are the people whom we should fear the most.
Two lives were snatched away in July 2021 and two people who had never hurt a soul had their dignity stripped from them. The details of this case are harrowing and deeply disturbing. At the centre is a young man who has devastated lives with his senseless actions. A young man who possesses a character that is loathsome and dangerous. Listener, the tragic case of the Halderson’s is one you will never be able to forget.

The lies people tell can lead to devastating consequences. When they become too big, they get cumbersome, heavy, and hard to maintain. More lies are needed on top. Layer after layer. A complex spider’s web emerges that requires detail to be remembered. It needs the connections, and the paths of each thread traced and tracked in some way. It’s a web woven to deceive through the creation of a false reality.
In 2021 the world was starting to right itself after a turbulent year due to Covid-19. For one family the events that were to follow are unthinkable, encasing the true meaning of brutality, disrespect, and betrayal. When evil this dark rises it does so from nowhere. It comes unexpected and unprecedented leaving lifelong irreparable damage in its wake.

When 24-year-old Sydney Loofe met her online date "Audrey" in November 2017, she thought she had met the woman of her dreams. In actuality, this encounter was really just a way of ensnaring Sydney in a trap set by a depraved man and his accomplice.

When I created Black Label, it was a response to the backlash I received after covering Nick Stoutzenberger. Or Nick Bate as he’s known online. Angry blog posts and emails were written. Twitter was pissed. I realized that I needed a buffer for the darker content. And Black Label has served that purpose well. Going back to the original episode and hear it after all of these years has been a trip. Though I’m not happy with the quality of the production.
Today we return to the case that laid the groundwork. The beginning before the beginning. The prequel. We return and we cement the case into the dark halls of Black Label. Now. I’m not going to waste your time any longer. Listener, I hope you enjoy this production of Black Label Episode 0. Nick Stoutzenberger: Into the Mouth of Madness.

On the afternoon of Sunday, November 21, 2021, the beautiful town of Taunton in Somerset, northwest England held its annual Christmas lights switch on. Families arrived in the town center with their young children to watch as the bright festive lights came to life lighting up the buildings around them. It’s a tradition many families enjoy together each year.
But that day marked the end of family life for two families in 2021. In a small village called Norton Fitzwarren just outside Taunton, a haze of extreme explosive violence would result in two people losing their lives, young children left orphaned and one man facing a criminal trial for double murder.

Nothing will set anger alight more intensely than betrayal. Once this fire starts to burn, for certain people, there’s only one way to dampen it down and extinguish the flames. Love is an emotion that is presumed to last forever. An invisible bond between two people that is cherished, nurtured, and protected. It is the fairy-tale dream. The concept of it being transferable, changeable, and decidedly unflinching in doing so is never considered until it becomes confrontational and impossible to ignore.
In 2018 a quiet rural farm in Earlville, Iowa became a scene of horror in a matter of seconds. That frosty November morning was the accumulation of months of discontent, hidden fears, and quiet planning in a marriage that was deeply scarred.
Love, betrayal, revenge, and self-preservation are the undercurrents of this case. Building in intensity they weaved together like hissing snakes seeking their final destination and most anticipated meal. Cold-blooded and determined they were the driver of one man’s actions that can never be reversed, and nothing would stand in their way.

British man Neil Entwistle was once an intelligent university graduate with IT qualifications that could have taken him far in life. At 27-years old, he was a husband and a father on the first joyous steps to a new family life. Now he had little stimulation and little to look at day after day in the tiny space he could barely call his own. It was a world away from his expensive family rental in the suburbs of Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
The grey concrete floor was in stark contrast to the chipped, rusting, and blue painted metal gate that boxed in his grim cell. He was an inmate at Middlesex County Jail in Cambridge, an ugly grey high-rise building regular inmates called ‘the slammer in the sky’. On the right, there was a metal bed firmly attached to the wall with a thin mattress thrown on top. On the left less than 2 feet away was a toilet and small washbasin also both screwed into the concrete wall.
Entwistle had been charged with the brutal murder of his 27-year-old wife Rachel and his 9-month-old baby Lillian. Both had died from gunshot wounds. Both shots were fired at close range. Their killer stood over them, arm outstretched, finger on the trigger, and took their lives in a matter of seconds. The bleak concrete cell had been his home since his arrest weeks after the murders in January 2006. Now it was 2008 and his trial for the cold-blooded murder of his family was about to begin.

We all have secrets. Internal thoughts we keep to ourselves. Actions and behaviours we carry out in private that no one else knows about. Part of those internal personal thoughts are fantasies, dreams, and desires that we don’t always share. But when those work together, when they have a dark undercurrent and come tumbling out of the mind and into real-life, the outcome is never a good one.
In January 2006, the town of Hopkinton in Massachusetts became the scene of a heart-breaking and shocking tragedy that sparked attention in both America and the UK. In a small quiet family orientated cul-de-sac just under five miles from the town center, a young family had just begun their new lives in Massachusetts with their 9-month-old baby Lily. Within weeks, two family members would be dead and the other nowhere to be found. Secrets and lies, even those kept within the depths of darkness and firmly behind the mask of normality have a way of spilling out in the end. And when they do, it changes everything.

In the Spring of 2016, the small town of Spalding in Lincolnshire, England found itself in the spotlight of media attention. For all the wrong reasons. Lives had been brutally snatched away in the dead of night within the setting that we all should have the right to feel safe in, our home.
Asleep and peaceful, two innocent lives did not know the danger around them. They had no way of knowing what was coming for them that night. The minds behind these vile crimes were hidden behind childish faces and unassuming ages. They showed twisted depravity embedded in their psyches where selfish desire and an undercurrent of misplaced resentment fuelled two brutal cold-blooded murders. And they were the last two people anyone would suspect.
