One - Annie Le
The
tragic murder of Annie Le continues to shock people to this day. September 8,
2009 on the Yale University campus in New Haven, Conn., Annie was a 24-year-old doctoral student at
the Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Pharmacology. She was last seen
entering a research building on campus, but she never left. But 5 days later,
on the day she was supposed to be married, her body was found stuffed inside a
supply closet. Her fellow lab technician Raymond Clark was found guilty of the
murder, though he never provided a reason for his actions.
Two - The Richardson family
murders
On
April 23, 2006, the bodies of Marc Richardson and his wife Debra were found in
the basement of their home. The body of their son, Jacob, was discovered
upstairs. Missing from the home upon the discovery was the couple’s 12-year-old
daughter, Jasmine. Originally, officials feared she had been abducted. They
would soon discover how wrong they were.
The following day, the daughter and her 23-year-old boyfriend, Jeremy
Steinke, who believed himself to be a 300-year-old werewolf, were arrested and
charged with the crimes. It was known the family was highly critical of the
young girl’s relationship. This criticism apparently served as motivation for
the crimes. While behind bars, Steinke wrote the girl a marriage proposal which
she accepted. Their story is sometimes said to have been inspiration for the
film Natural Born Killers.

Three - The McStay kamily
The
McStay family mysteriously vanished from their home in Fallbrook, California on
February 4, 2010. Joseph McStay lived with his wife, Summer, and their two
young sons. After days passed and no one could contact the family, Joseph’s
brother climbed through an open window to discover an empty house save the two
family dogs which had been left behind in what appeared to be a rushed vacancy
of the home. An investigation ensued, though little was accomplished until
three years later. In November of 2013, the family’s bodies were found in a
shallow grave near Victorville, California. One year later, police announced
the arrest of Joseph’s business partner, Charles “Chase” Merritt, and charged
him with the murders.
Four - The reality show
killer
This
television-famous killer Rodney Alcala is estimated to have murder upwards of
130 victims. He earned his nickname, “Dating Game Killer”, because of his 1978
appearance on The Dating Game television show during the height of his
murder spree. Prosecutors report that Alcala “toyed” with his victims,
strangling them until they passed out, waiting until they revived then
repeating the process. Over the years of his rampage, Alcala compiled more than
1,000 sexually explicit photos of women and teenage boys, at least one of whom
he then murdered. Luckily, the winner of The Dating Game refused
to go out with Alcala after the show ended because she got strange vibes from
him.
Five - Strangers in real life
Also
known as the Good Hart murders, the Robison family murders were the mass
murders of Richard Robison, his wife Shirley and their four children; Ritchie,
Gary, Randy and Susan in 1968. The family was shot and killed while vacationing
in their Lake Michigan home, just north of Good Hart, Michigan. Their bodies
were found after 27 days. This delay in discovery resulted in extreme
decomposition of the remains, making analysis of the bodies challenging. Over
the 15-month investigation, the case remained largely unsolved despite the fact
that nearly all recovered evidence pointed to Joseph Raymond Scolaro, an
employee of Richard’s. The case remains
open to this day, although locals still believe that Scolaro was responsible.
