On October 27, 2021, 52-year-old Dawn Walker married Thomas Nutt in West Yorkshire, England. Within hours of the wedding, Nutt strangled Dawn inside their home and hid her body in a cupboard. He later placed her body in a suitcase and dumped it in bushes behind the house, then reported his new wife missing and even joined Dawn’s daughter in searching for her, despite knowing she was hidden nearby. CCTV captured him wheeling the suitcase out of the house shortly before police arrived to investigate her disappearance. Dawn’s body was discovered four days after the wedding, exposing the false missing-person story Nutt had created. In August 2022, a jury found Nutt guilty and he was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 21 years.

At just 21, Jewel Shuping made a life-changing decision that would permanently alter her vision—because she says she had always felt she was meant to be blind. She claims a sympathetic psychologist agreed to pour drain cleaner into her eyes after they spent weeks together making sure she was fully prepared, and they waited 30 minutes before seeking medical care. Shuping has Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), a rare condition in which physically healthy people feel they are meant to have a disability. She had fantasized about blindness since childhood, learned Braille fluently by 20, and says the burning pain was overshadowed by the relief of finally becoming who she felt she was supposed to be. Her decision ended her relationship with her mother and sister after they learned the truth, but she says she has never regretted it and now hopes to raise awareness about BIID while warning others never to attempt anything similarly dangerous.

In October 2009, 39-year-old Dawn Viens disappeared from Lomita, California. Her husband, Chet David Viens, told people she had simply left, but investigators became suspicious when Dawn never contacted her family again and no clear trace of her was found. Years later, David gave a disturbing account of what happened inside their home. Prosecutors said he had bound Dawn during an argument, and after she died, he attempted to dispose of her body in a horrifying way. He later admitted to cooking her remains for days in an attempt to destroy the evidence. Dawn’s body was never recovered, but David Viens was ultimately convicted in connection with her death. The case became infamous because of the disturbing disposal method and the cold manner in which he described it, turning a missing-wife investigation into one of California’s most disturbing homicide cases.

A Florida couple was arrested after authorities investigated a mobile home that was being used as a drive-thru drug operation, with suspected drug sales taking place through a window. The unusual setup attracted the attention of authorities, leading to the couple’s arrest and serious legal consequences.

Faith Pugh’s first date with Kelton Griffin was already going badly when he showed up without a car, so they took her black Volvo instead. After stopping at a gas station, Griffin asked Pugh to go inside and buy him a cigar. The moment she stepped out, he drove away in her car. Pugh’s mother picked her up, and soon after, her God sister texted that Griffin had asked her out too, apparently using Pugh’s stolen car. The two women teamed up, used the car’s GPS to track him down, and found Griffin with her at a drive-in movie theater, where his date had to pay for them to get in because he had no money. Police arrested Griffin that night, and he already had a previous run-in with the law, having been involved in a restaurant robbery in 2016.

She put her hands between her father and the man she loved. She lost three fingers, but she still didn’t stop the knife. The family had made their discomfort clear long before that Saturday night, saying María and Víctor looked like grandfather and granddaughter and that their 47-year age gap was too much to accept. What they once kept as discomfort, they eventually said out loud—and what José said out loud, he eventually acted on. It happened during a family gathering in Coahuila, Mexico, when an argument involving Víctor escalated into violence. By the time paramedics arrived near the Luis Echeverría Álvarez ring road around 2 a.m., Víctor had abdominal wounds and passed away before reaching the hospital. María was left with bandaged hands and without the person she had chosen, paying a devastating price for standing between her father and the man she loved.

A devastating case involving two children has left a family grieving and a community searching for answers after a 12-year-old girl was charged with m*rder following the suffocation of her younger cousin while they were sharing a bedroom. Authorities said she later attempted to clean up the scene and reposition her cousin’s body. The victim’s mother was reportedly told that the children had been arguing earlier over an iPhone. Beyond the criminal case, this is an unimaginable tragedy for a family that has lost a child while another child now faces extraordinarily serious charges a heartbreaking situation from every angle.

Nancy Crampton Brophy was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of 🔪 her husband, chef and culinary instructor Daniel Brophy, in a case that gained widespread attention because of an essay she had written years earlier titled “How to Mrder Your Husband.” Daniel was found s*t dead in June 2018 inside the Oregon Culinary Institute in Portland, where he taught. Prosecutors said Nancy did it for roughly $1.4 million in life insurance money as the couple faced serious financial problems. In 2011, Nancy published a 700-word essay discussing possible motives and methods for k*lling a husband, writing that a woman would need to be “organized, ruthless, and very clever.” The essay was excluded from her trial because it had been written years earlier as part of a writing seminar. Prosecutors instead relied on circumstantial evidence, including surveillance footage placing her vehicle near the crime scene and evidence that she bought a ghost gun kit and an extra barrel. She was convicted in 2022 and sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

On July 9, 2022, Oklahoma friends Larry Sanders and Jimmy Knighten went noodling, a form of bare-handed catfishing, on the South Canadian River, but the fishing trip ended with Knighten dead after Sanders told investigators he believed his friend was trying to “summon” Bigfoot and feed him to the creature. According to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, Sanders said a confrontation began while they were fishing; he punched Knighten, struck him with a stick, and fought with him on the ground before ultimately choking him to death near the river. Sanders told investigators he believed Knighten was trying to get away from him so that “sasquatch/Bigfoot” could eat him. Afterward, Sanders returned home and told his daughter that he had ended Knighten’s life because he believed Knighten was trying to feed him to Bigfoot, then repeated the claim to his daughter’s boyfriend, who was also Knighten’s son. Sanders later cooperated with investigators and drew a map that helped authorities locate Knighten’s body in the heavily wooded area, where his remains were found roughly 24 hours later. Sanders was charged with first-degree murder. The local sheriff also said Sanders appeared to be under the influence of something at the time, with methamphetamine suspected, although no blood tests were taken. He had previous drug-related legal problems, including a 2019 probation sentence after bringing methamphetamine into jail following an arrest for public intoxication. The case drew widespread attention because of Sanders’ extraordinary explanation involving Bigfoot, a legendary creature associated with sightings across the United States. Despite the bizarre claim, authorities charged Sanders in connection with Knighten’s death and continued investigating the circumstances.
