Bio
I write about murders, and murderers. I write of thoughts, confusions, victories, defeats. Of love gained and love lost. Of life in all its multi-faceted glory.

The Torture Mother: Gertrude Baniszewski and the Torture Killing of Sylvia Likens
The Sylvia Likens case isn't a new one, nor is it unknown to those that follow these types of crimes. This one is, in particular, an interesting case, as it goes to show just how much influence an adult can have over a child or children, who otherwise, are well rounded kids from decent homes.

Jamie Osuna: Man of a Thousand Faces
There isn't really much information about Osuna's past, or his life before his first (known) killing. There is little to no information about his childhood. There is some information that he was abused by his stepfather as a child, but the severity and duration of the abuse in unknown.

Blood Thirsty in Sacramento
Young Richard Trenton Chase They say that sometimes the truth is so off the wall that it couldn't be made up. And I often find that that is the case, especially when it comes to the things that a person or persons can inflict on another human being.

The Torturous Drowning Murders of the Farquharson Boys
There is a common misconception that drowning is a painless and quick death. This couldn't be further from the truth. For nearly ten years of my thirty-six, I was a lifeguard. Drowning is not a quick nor a painless way to go. Especially when you're trapped inside a car while it slowly fills up.

When Teachers Kill
Life is a funny thing. On average, I would suspect, most people don't initially plan on killing their own child. Though it happens too often to really even contemplate without completely and absolutely losing all remaining faith in humanity.

Chronicles of a Poly-amorous Lesbian
It's always one thing to know something in your mind...without a confirmation from an outside source. It's easier...it's easier because in those moments when those thoughts plague you...even though you know it to be true...you can placate yourself...tell yourself that you're just imaging things...overthinking things...that everything is really fine.

Chronicles of a Poly-amorous Lesbian
Temptation is hard to resist. The temptation of feeling her lips against mine, of tasting her lips. I skirt around the want every night I walk her to her room before bed. The kids will sometimes make their way into her bed. She has a hard time carrying them (she isn't very tall) and so I or M will transport them back to their own beds...but every night that I walk her upstairs, and once the kid(s) are back under their own covers...we hug long and hard. Our arms wrapped around each other...there's a longing there from the moment we embrace until the door is shut behind me...

The Torture and Murder of Adrian Jones
The story of Adrian Jones is a hard one to write, so believe me when I say that it'll be hard to read. I feel I must warn you here and now...do not go further if severe child abuse and the murder of a child will bother and/or trigger you.
