The Burger Chef murders occurred on the night of Friday November 17th, 1978. Four teenage employees went missing in what was initially thought to be a petty theft of cash.
By Sunday their bodies had been discovered and police launched what would prove to be one of the more baffling crimes in the history of the state of Indiana.. While investigators believe they have identified some or all of the perpetrators, the case remains unsolved given the lack of physical evidence and sheer volume of conspiracy theories that continue to haunt this tragic case.

It was a Saturday morning when a local man out jogging on White Strand in Cahersiveen, Co Kerry, made the grisly discovery of the body of a baby boy.
The date was April 14, 1984, and the infant was confirmed to be dead. He had been stabbed multiple times before he was put in a plastic bag and left on the beach, just outside Cahersiveen. What would ensue would prove to be one of the most important socio-political moments in Ireland’s modern history, a moment when accusations of infanticide abounded, sexual histories became media fodder, women’s rights were placed at the fore of a judicial inquiry, and fantastical Garda theories came thick and fast.

For more than a century, a peculiar physical condition known as ectrodactyly had afflicted the Stiles family - a condition which affected their limbs to varying degrees.
While many may have viewed this condition as a handicap, for the Stiles family it spelled opportunity. In 1944 Grady Stiles Sr moved his family to the carnival mecca of Gibsonton, Florida, where his son, Grady Stiles Jr., quickly became the headline act in a local freakshow.
Adored as a young performer, Grady Jr's story took a more sinister turn as an older man, who quickly built a reputation for violence - and sometimes even murder.
