Carl Tanzler Lived With A Corpse For Over Seven Years Before He Was Discovered

In 1931, 56-year-old Carl Tanzler was working at a hospital in Florida when he fell in love with a 22-year-old Cuban-American woman named Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos. When the couple met, de Hoyos was dying from tuberculosis - a terminal condition in the 1930s. Throughout the last year of her life, Tanzler reportedly showered the young woman with gifts and even purchased an expensive mausoleum when she passed.

After her death, Tanzler visited de Hoyos’s grave, singing Spanish love songs to her. He later claimed that her spirit encouraged him to remove her from the grave and take her home. So, one night in 1933, allegedly haunted by these ghostly requests, Tanzler carried de Hoyos back home in a wagon.

Over the next seven-plus years, Tanzler preserved the woman. He replaced her skin with silk and wax, stuffed her body with rags to keep its shape, and used perfumes to disguise the smell. It wasn’t until 1940 - when de Hoyos’s sister, Florinda, stormed into his home with police in tow - that the truth was discovered. Tanzler wasn’t actually prosecuted because the statute of limitations on his initial crime had already lapsed.

Serial Killer Rodney Alcala Was A Contestant On 'The Dating Game' - And Won

In 2010, police arrested Rodney Alcala, a professional photographer, and brought him to trial for an incredibly expansive list of crimes. By the time prosecutors had tallied up all of his potential victims, they discovered that Alcala had raped and possibly murdered over 100 women and children between 1978 until his capture. During the investigation, police uncovered photographs of potential victims and continued to charge Alcala as the identities of victims were confirmed - even after he was sentenced to death in his 2010 trial.

The weirdest bit of Alcala’s crime spree, though, was his 1978 appearance as a bachelor on The Dating Game, which he won.

Jasmine Richardson Helped Kill Her Family Under The Influence Of A 'Werewolf


In August of 2016, 22-year-old Jasmine Richardson was set free from a Canadian prison, 10 years after her and her ex-boyfriend's convictions. In 2006, then-12-year-old Richardson and her boyfriend, Jeremy Steinke, murdered Richardson’s family - her parents and younger brother - in cold blood. The crimes took place in the Richardson family's home in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

In the months leading up to the murders, the pre-teen reportedly had made a quick transition from a bright and happy girl to dark and morbid. Authorities claimed that this transition was a result of 23-year-old Steinke’s influence. Steinke, in fact, believed himself to be a 300-year-old werewolf.

The Kidnapping of the Lindbergh Baby:

The original "Crime of the Century." News of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh's son being snatched from his crib in the middle of the night was about as scary as it got in 1932.
Despite the family having every resource at their disposal, the body of 20-month-old Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. was found two months later in a field not far from the family's New Jersey home. Two years later, German-born carpenter Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested for the crime, tried, convicted and subsequently executed on April 3, 1996, having insisted all the while that he was innocent.

Multiple books written in the 84 years since the kidnapping contend that Hauptmann—whose status as a working-class immigrant, particularly from Germany in the days leading up to World War II, did him no favors with the American criminal justice system—was innocent. His wife, Anna Hauptmann, spent the rest of her life trying to clear his name, alleging at one point that her husband had been "framed from beginning to end" by police desperate to close the case.

So not only is this crime possibly still unsolved, but the government may have put an innocent man to death.

The kidnapping terrified a nation, and newspapers pretty much flayed Hauptmann alive before he was even convicted. Spurred on by anti-German sentiment and major hero worship for Lindbergh, the police, the media and, ultimately, a jury (that for the most part probably thought it was doing the right thing) joined forces to bring Hauptmann down, with even those higher-ups who believed in his innocence not being able to reverse the course of a system not interested in alternative theories.

The Good Hart Murders Were Ripped From The Reels Of A Horror Movie


The Good Hart murders unfold as many horror tropes: an idyllic family retreats to some secluded area for a few days of rest and relaxation only to encounter a psychopath. In 1986, that exact scenario played out when the Robison family took up summer residence in a cottage deep in the forest of the Blisswood Resort in Good Hart, Michigan. As the family settled in, an unknown assailant shot and killed patriarch Richard C. Robison before targeting the man's family.

By the end of the night, Robison’s wife and his four children were also killed. A caretaker found the bodies 27 days later - after neighbors reported a strange smell from the Robinson cabin. While police suspected Robison’s business partner, Joe Scalero, of the crime, there was never enough evidence to convict him. Scalero took his own life several years later, still professing his innocence. Those involved believe the mysterious case to be solved, although investigators closed the file in 2018

List wouldn't be complete without sociopathic Charles


The Manson Family Murders: The 1960s didn't end on Dec. 31, 1969. They ended between Aug. 8 and Aug. 10 of that year when Charles Manson sent five members of his "Family" to two homes—one in L.A.'s Benedict Canyon and the other in Los Feliz—to kill whichever "piggies" they found there in order to incite "Helter Skelter." Manson, a struggling musician, got the term from The Beatles' White Album, having interpreted the Fab Four's tunes as a signal to incite a race war.

Not only did the murder of an 8 1/2-months pregnant Sharon Tate and four other people at the Benedict Canyon home she had been renting with husband Roman Polanski (who was out of town), followed by the murders of Rosemary and Leno LaBianca at their Los Feliz home a night later, terrify every star (and pretty much everyone else) in Hollywood beyond belief, but Manson too became the most twisted kind of celebrity. He landed the cover of Rolling Stone as "The Most Dangerous Man in Alive"—and he basked in the attention at his trial. To this day, the now 81-year-old loon remains a subject of endless fascination—largely because it's still impossible for us to get our heads around how he secured and maintained such a hold over his followers, including three young women who took part in slaughtering seven people.

Enjoy his interviews , true definition of a sociopath , loud and spontaneous

The Kidnapping of Patty Hearst:

The 19-year-old granddaughter of publishing titan William Randolph Hearst (the inspiration for Citizen Kane) was kidnapped from her Berkeley apartment on Feb. 4, 1974, by members of the self-proclaimed Symbionese Liberation Army, left-wing revolutionaries whose primary intention was to stick it to the Man. And commit some crimes. On April 15, 1974, members of the SLA robbed a branch of Hibernia Bank in San Francisco—and there was Hearst, wielding a machine gun, a couple weeks after the SLA released a video of her declaring her allegiance and saying her new name was "Tania."

Was she at the bank out of fearful obedience? A sufferer of Stockholm syndrome? Or was she a willing participant? In 1976, Hearst was sentenced to 35 years in prison for her role in the robbery, during which two people were shot, but that was quickly knocked down to seven. She appealed and was in and out of jail on bail, until finally President Jimmy Carter commuted her sentence to probation and 22 months of time served. President Bill Clinton granted her a full pardon before he left office in 2001.

Hearst appeared in a bunch of John Waters films, an indicator right there that she had become a pop culture oddity, and has continued on in the gray area where celebrity meets notoriety. Hearst wrote in her 1981 memoir Every Secret Thing that she only helped rob that bank because she was forced to, but New Yorker writer and CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin sounds skeptical that the answer is that simple in his 2016 book American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst.

Calvin Jones Dodged A Murder Charge Because His Victim Had Sickle-Cell Anemia

In January 1966, Philadelphia man Calvin Jones escaped charges of murder due to a really bizarre coincidence. Jones had previously been charged with the murder of 23-year-old Sarah Tolbert, his then-girlfriend. It appeared as though he had beaten her to death with a rubber hose. When the young woman was autopsied, however, it was discovered that Jones’s assault hadn’t been what ended her life.

Instead, the coroner discovered that Tolbert had died of sickle-cell anemia at the exact moment she was being battered. As a result, Jones received the lesser charge of assault and battery.

The Mary Morris Murders Were Likely The Work Of One Really Incompetent Hitman

In October 2000, two Texas women were murdered in a similar manner within days of one another. Neither woman had any known enemies. In fact, both families reported that the women were loving, kind, and professional - one a nurse, the other a loan officer - living completely unconnected lives. They had only one thing in common: both women were named Mary Morris. Police found Mary Henderson Morris, 48, in her burned out car. Three days later, they found Mary McGinnis Morris, 39, who'd been shot, dead in her car.

An investigation into the matter turned up no evidence, and both cases remain unsolved. The prevailing theory is that Mike Morris - husband of Mary McGinnis Morris - hired a hitman to kill his wife. Unfortunately, the assailant made a mistake and targeted the wrong Mary Morris first.

The 'Liquid Matthew Murder' Mystery Started As A Church Game

In 1983, the body of Francisco Patino Gutierrez was found on a street in Hialeah, Florida. Nearby, a plastic bag was found taped to the back of a dumpster. Inside was a cryptic riddle. In context, investigators found the note and accompanying riddle as particularly puzzling:

Once you’re back on the track you’ll travel in night. So prepare your old self for a terrible fright. ... Now the motive is clear and the victim is, too. You’ve got all the answers. Just follow the clues.

The case became known as the “Liquid Matthew Murder” thanks to a subsequent riddle clue that was located by police shortly after. The mystery vexed the police for weeks until they released the notes in the local paper. It was then that authorities discovered that the note was written for a church’s murder mystery game a month prior to the murder. Thanks to a rainstorm the night of the game, the notes hadn’t been collected, and so they were still up when Gutierrez's body was recovered. Investigators later attributed his passing to gang-related activities.

The Assassination of JFK: Who shot JFK? Most people accepted the answer. Lee Harvey Oswald fired the fatal shots at President John F. Kennedy from his perch at a sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. He was arrested hours later, initially for killing a police officer but ultimately arraigned for the president's murder. On Nov. 24, Jack Ruby, who ran a nearby nightclub, shot and killed Oswald as police were escorting him toward an armored car that would take him to jail. The entire thing was caught on live network TV.

Obviously the murder of the president of the United States was a life-altering event for millions of people, shattering their sense of security and, for some, their hopes for the future. Kennedy's death changed the course of the nation, particularly when it came to the war in Vietnam. But JFK's murder also launched the mother of conspiracy theories, as probed in pop culture by the likes of Oliver Stone's JFK, and John and Jackie Kennedy became almost mythological figures, with every generation since lending its cinematic, TV and literary takes on the Camelot couple to the conversation

The Murderous Axeman Of New Orleans Really Had A Fondness For Jazz

Fans of American Horror Story are likely familiar with the legend of the Axeman of New Orleans, America’s own Bayou Jack the Ripper. Over the course of a decade, between 1911 and 1919, a mysterious drifter attacked and murdered several people, a lot of whom were Italian grocers, with no other apparent motive than carnage and possibly racism.

At one point, the killer even sent a mocking letter to newspapers claiming that he would spare anyone in New Orleans who played jazz. As mysteriously as the Axeman appeared, though, he was gone, disappearing into myth in 1919 after the murder of a grocer named Mike Pepitone.

Oddly, one year later, a man named Joseph Mumfre was shot to death near Pepitone’s widow. While no evidence ever linked Mumfre to the other Axeman murders, lots of circumstantial evidence pointed in his direction.

The Abduction and Murder of Adam Walsh:


John Walsh (known to most ID Fans) his 6-year-old was kidnapped from a Sears in Florida in 1981 and his severed head was found about 120 miles away from his family's home 16 days later. The rest of his remains have never been found.

His son's killer still unknown in 1988, John Walsh became the host of America's Most Wanted, a show that probably served as rather dour background noise once a week for a lot of us when we were kids, none of us realizing until much later that it was personal for Walsh. He had been in the hotel business but after Adam's murder he completely devoted himself to criminal justice, victim advocacy and hunting down the worst criminals—more than 1,200 of whom were captured thanks to AMW. The show, along with CBS' 48 Hours, also helped pave the way for Hard Copy, Dateline and the bevy of other predator-catching, mystery-solving shows whose numbers have only multiplied in the days since.

And those, in turn, led up to the current true crime boom, with The Jinx, Making a Murder, The Staircase and Serial standing out from the pack, along with intense, reality-driven scripted sagas such as The Night Of, American Crime and almost every plot line lately on Law & Order: SVU.

In 2008, the Hollywood (Fla.) Police Department officially identified serial killer Otis Toole, who died in prison in 1996 while serving life for other crimes, as Adam's killer.

Bernie Tiede Was The Murderer People Couldn’t Help But Love



As of 2016, former mortician Bernie Tiede is in a Texas lockup for the 1996 murder of Marjorie Nugent, a well-to-do widow whom Bernie shot to death before hiding her body in her freezer for several months. Perhaps the strangest bit of this story is that in the wake of Nugent’s disappearance, no one seemed to care. Thanks to her reputation for being somewhat of a curmudgeon, her disappearance drew no concern.

Reportedly, Tiede was in a relationship with Nugent, who was 40 years older than him. When Tiede’s crime was eventually discovered, the small-town characters surrounding the mortician actively fought against his incarceration, calling Tiede infallibly generous - possibly because he spent a lot of Nugent's $6 million fortune on various gifts to the town. Few people could believe the sweet-natured man could possibly have committed such a crime, even after he confessed to the "sweetheart scam."

Jack Black portrayed Tiede in the 2011 movie Bernie. Although Tiede was actually convicted in 1999 and sentenced to life, he was released in 2014 pending a second trial. In 2016, his original sentence of 99 years was reinstated.

Ariel Castro Held Three Young Women Captive In His Home For More Than 10 Years

It wasn’t too long ago that the strange story of Ariel Castro made headlines. For more than a decade, the Cleveland bus driver held three women captive in his home. Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry, and Michelle Knight went missing in the Cleveland area between 2002 and 2004. At the time of their abduction, the girls were 14, 16, and 21, respectively. Each was presumed dead until Berry staged a heroic escape from Castro’s home in 2013.

Berry managed to get out of the house on Seymour Avenue with her 6-year-old daughter, whom Castro fathered. She alerted authorities, which led to the rescue her fellow captives. A demolition crew leveled the house the same year as the women's rescue.

Serial Killers Fred And Rosemary West Kept Company With Another Criminal Couple


Throughout the 1980s and 1990s in Gloucester, England, Fred and Rosemary West used their local pub, Prince Albert, as a means to lure young women back to their house. While Rosemary ran a successful prostitution ring, Fred imprisoned women, some of which who appeared as the Wests' lodgers at 25 Cromwell Street. Fred was later charged for the murder of a dozen women but took his own life while awaiting trial. Rosemary was convicted for the death of her daughter Heather, among others.

Even more shocking, the Wests' friends and owners of Prince Albert, David and Pauline Williams, were also arrested for running their own child sex ring. Investigators believe there's a connection between the criminal activities of the Wests and the Williams.
