What Happened To 14- Year-old George Owen Smith?
When her brother Owen(is what his family called him) was arrested for car theft, Owen's sister never thought that was something he would do. She knew him pretty well. They were quite close since only a couple of years apart. She never believed the car theft story from day one. The most he had done wrong is ran away a few times. His dream was to play at the Grand Ole Opry. That is where he was headed when they claimed he had gotten arrested for car theft.

Who killed Russell and Shirley Dermond?
It was eight years ago on May 6, 2014, that one of the strangest unsolved homicide cases ever occurred. The Dermonds, Russell, 88, and Shirley, 87, lived a peaceful life at their lakefront home in Eatonton, Georgia. Both had retired after successfully owning several fast-food restaurants. Eatonton is a small city with just over 6,000 residents. Homicides rarely, if ever, occur in Eatonton, so it is considered a safe place to live. However, the double homicide of a beloved elderly couple would shake up Eatonton residents. The murders of Russell and Shirley Dermond must keep Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills up at night.

Issei Sagawa: The Cannibal Who Got Away With Murder.
*WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS PHOTOS AND EVENTS THAT MAY BE FOUND AS DISTURBING* On April 26th 1949, in the city of Kobe, Japan, Issei Sagawa was born prematurely. He was so small that his father could fit him in the palm of his hand. As a baby, Sagawa developed enteritis, a disease of the small intestine, which meant he had to have several injections of potassium and calcium in saline. He eventually recovered. Even though the country of Japan was feeling the after effects of World War 2, Issei had a relatively happy childhood. This was massively helped by the extreme wealth his family had accrued. His father, Akira Sagawa, was the president at Kurita Water Industries which today has reported revenue of over 200 billion yen ($1.5 billion) and his grandfather was a successful editor at Japan's largest newspaper publisher, The Asahi Shimbun.

Galina
We’ve met, you and I. I remember it. Not vividly, but well enough. I was coming out of my room and you passed by, a towel wrapped around you. You’d obviously just visited the same shower that I was headed for. You smiled, a nice smile, and I smiled back. And that was it, the only interaction we were ever to have in life.

The unknown dead man found on Somerton Beach
In Adelaide, Australia a man was found in what looked like his Sunday best down to the polished shoes he had on. He had no wallet, no ID, or driver’s license on him. Nothing to identify this man. Looked like he could have had a heart attack or poisoning but the toxicology report showed nothing in his system and it was not a heart attack. Fingerprints showed nothing, which back then they weren’t connected through other states and counties with fingerprints

Only two outcomes are possible in Vladimir Putin's Ukraine War: genocide or defeat.
There are two possible outcomes to the Vladimir Putin-led war in Ukraine: genocide or defeat. If Putin can successfully conquer and annex all of Ukraine, then he will have committed genocide against the Ukrainian people. If Putin is unable to conquer and annex all of Ukraine, then he will ultimately be defeated, leading to a possible victory by the West over Russia. In either case, Putin's war in Ukraine will have resulted in massive loss of life and devastation. For the Ukrainian people, the outcome of Putin's war is bleak. They face the potential for genocide or defeat, and their defeating maybe insult to injury given the long history of Russian aggression against Ukraine. For Putin, the war in Ukraine is a gamble with high stakes: if he fails, he may be seen as a cruel dictator, while if he succeeds, he may be seen as a victorious hero. However, the risks of Putin's war are high and it is unlikely to achieve any clear objectives. The Thinner of Putin's war in Ukraine may be Russia itself, as it strengthens its position in the region and potentially increases its influence over Ukraine.
