Vera Renczi
Michael got as close to a number of lethal women as he dared while writing his book Murder Most Rare. The false belief that there were none or only one female serial killer in the United States sparked my initial interest in these women. Which seemed unthinkable to me. I thus located almost a hundred from 1900, both domestically and abroad, and stopped there. Vera Renczi is the murderer who most intrigues him. I think she was the most unusual female serial killer I've ever encountered. She killed for years on end in her own home, controlled the environment in which she killed, and was obviously intelligent. She also had resources. The pretty but wild girl who was the daughter of a wealthy family turned out to be, to put it politely, one hell of an efficient serial killer.

Some Funny, Mostly Tragic
Some funny, mostly tragic, let me tell you about a street fight I recently got into. But first, let me introduce myself. Hello, I’m Meltem Nur. I live in Turkey, and I’m about to turn 20 soon. I was studying because I had upcoming exams. Suddenly, my mom entered my room and said, ‘Meltem, there’s a crowd outside the door, and everyone is gathered around your brother.’ I looked out the window, and an angry mob had surrounded my brother. Sensing a fight, I grabbed pepper spray and rushed downstairs to stand in front of my brother, shielding him from the crowd. The issue was that the son of the family living next door, Emirhan. He said my brother cursed to his mother. Damn, he doesn’t even know you. Of course, my brother denied it. About 20 people from down the street immediately got involved, and one of them punched my brother. Others joined in, attacking him. I used the pepper spray.
