Death Actually Visited me Eight Days After my Wonderful Marriage
My name is Cory Johnson. I have always loved Glacier National Park, yes I have a fear of heights, but it doesn't stop me from loving the park with its rivers, cliffs and wildlife. I haven't always lived close; I moved here when I was young with my mum. Just the two of us and the peaceful life. Not that I didn't have friends, I had a vast circle of friends. A good life, all I needed was a wife to complete me. Eight days ago, I married my soul mate, and now I am at the bottom of this ravine, sitting on a rock looking at my body, lifelessly floating in the waterfall.

Unlawful and Disorder
Driving slightly above the speed limit between the buildings of downtown Vancouver, corporal Pickering of the RCMP was on his daily patrols, looking for any trouble needing attending to. He was glad he was assigned to the downtown area, as the vibrant life of the urban city hummed and buzzed with activity, with never a dull moment. For the most part, things were just as usual, with most crimes happening later in the night under the cover of darkness. It had always puzzled him how such affluence and poverty could be located so close in proximity to one another, with expensive high rises on one side next to derelict masonry buildings on the other. Perhaps the permission to let poverty exist there reminded the rich of how much better off they were than the needy.

Death at a Bend of a River
The smoke coiled out of the colt revolvers barrel and seeped out of the cracks along the edge of the cylinder and one round had been emptied from its chamber. Darryl looked down at her dead body, crumpled on the dirt, her red dress with printed sunflowers, stained with crimson that tinted the petals of the flower print. The cotton fibers drew the blood into its fibers, darkening the red fabric more, bleeding into the yellow pedals. Her fingers had dug into the dirt as she fell to the ground and her fingernails were caked in dirt with her palms up laying next to her. When she had heaved out her last breath after huffing for air her chest collapsed for the last time. Her eyes, blue eyes, went black. Dilated pupils stared straight up into the trees, watching the birds land on branches after they had been scared off by the gunshot.

Baby Farming
She has been called the female version of Jack the Ripper and lived at the same time that he struck. Adopting unwanted infants in exchange for money, she escaped arrest for years by moving around and using different names. It was her case that led to stricter laws for adoption and child protection, and which also raised the profile for the newly established NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children). She was Amelia Dyer! (Before you read any further, please be aware that this article is about a baby killer and may be upsetting to some).
