The Lin Family Murders. Content Warning.
Is it just me, or is everyone fascinated with true crime? One particular Australian case has always haunted me, probably because it happened in Sydney during a time when I was living there. Something about it has always felt eerily close to home.

The Triple Betrayal: How the CIA’s Top Spy Turned Against Them
The night was cold in Amman when the prison door shut behind Dr. Humam Khalil al-Balawi. He sat in silence, the dim light casting long shadows on the concrete floor. He wasn’t just a doctor anymore — he was a suspect, a prisoner, and, perhaps, the CIA’s newest weapon.

In India, a man who claimed to have buried more than 100 girls who were raped and then murdered at a temple has been arrested
Police in India have arrested the man who recently claimed that he was forced to bury the bodies of dozens of women who had first been raped and then murdered. His shocking claims have shaken Dharmasthala, a small religious town in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The town is home to the centuries-old Manjunatha Swamy Temple, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of Hinduism’s three supreme deities. The temple attracts thousands of devotees every day and is central to the lives of the local people. Following political controversy in the state, the government set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate these allegations. An SIT official, speaking to the BBC on condition of anonymity, said that the man was arrested on charges of perjury—giving a false statement. In early July, the middle-aged man had filed a complaint with the police and recorded a statement before a magistrate. His identity has not been revealed, and in public he has so far appeared wearing black clothes, a mask, and a helmet. The complaint filed with the police, seen by the BBC, stated that he had worked as a cleaner at the temple between 1995 and 2014. He alleged that during this time, he was forced to bury the bodies of hundreds of girls and women who had been brutally raped and then killed. He described in detail five such incidents and said that there were many more. He also claimed that some of the victims were minors.

My Father's Sins, My Mentor's Revenge
The whiskey glass felt heavy in my hand, the amber liquid doing little to burn away the cold that had settled in my bones six months ago. My name is Isaac Sullivan—Ike to my friends—and I used to be a detective. Now, I was just a man haunted by the ghosts of a case I could never close. I stared at the TV, the morning news a meaningless drone, until one image snapped me back to reality: a brick wall, smeared with a number crudely painted in blood. The number 10.

She Was Murdered in the Morgue. The Only Witness Was the Doctor... and She Was Next.
A murder in a morgue is like a fire at the fire station. It’s a special kind of brazen. But when I, a homicide detective with twenty years on the force, discovered our only witness had vanished from the locked crime scene, I knew this wasn't just a murder. It was something far more sinister.

I am not Surprised on Emmanuel Haro
This case is just “too easy” to handle just like the Carlee Russell case, the Susan Smith case, and the Chris Watts case. A 7-month-old baby boy gets kidnapped by an unknown Hispanic man after he assaulted his mother. The parents pleading with the news media for the son's return until the police found inconsistencies costs them to backtrack and not speak on the case.

More of the Most Vicious Crimes of the 1970s — Part 2. Content Warning.
The 1970s was a heyday for serial killers. The majority of prolific serial killers that are still known today committed their crimes during this decade. The decline of serial killers since the 1970s has been attributed to advances in forensic sciences, societal awareness resulting in less easy targets, and the rise in technology used in investigations. Currently, serial murder comprises less than 1% of all homicides, according to the FBI.
