F**k That

The Long Island Serial Murders began in 1993 with the murder of Rita Tangredi, followed by the murders of Sandra Castilla, and Colleen McNamee in 1993 and 1994. Jane Doe #7 was discovered in 1996, followed by Jane Doe #3 (Peaches), in 1997. Two torsos were found in 2000, and 2003 - and after that, it all went silent... until the disappearance of Shannan Gilbert in 2010.

While Shannan’s death remains a mystery, her legacy goes beyond her fate. Shannan’s disappearance reignited public interest in the unsolved Long Island Serial Murder cases, and set in motion a chain of events that led to the discovery of additional victims, including the four women who became known as The Gilgo Four - Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, and Amber Costello. A new task force was formed in March, 2022, which led to the to the arrest of Rex Heuermann on Thursday, July 13th, 2023.

This week I delve into the heart-wrenching case surrounding the murder of Brayla Stone. Brayla, a 17-year-old Black trans woman, met a tragic and untimely end, leaving behind a devastated community. After Brayla’s murder, the events leading up to her death came to light, exposing the struggles faced by trans individuals. Brayla’s story serves as a stark reminder of the violence and discrimination that the trans community faces every day.

RIP Brayla.

Ronald Gene Simmons will forever be known as “The Father From Hell.” After tormenting his family with his unrelenting abuse, he developed an infatuation with one of his daughters. Once this daughter established boundaries and left the Simmons home, Ronald began to plot his revenge on over a dozen people during the holidays in 1987. His rampage remains the deadliest mass murder in Arkansas history, and the deadliest mass murder of a family in American history.
