On the afternoon of 28 July 2021, a decapitated body was discovered in the middle of an intersection in Shakopee, Minnesota, a Twin Cities suburb; the head was also found nearby.  The victim was identified as America Mafalda Thayer, a 55-year-old woman from Shakopee. The suspect is 42-year-old Alexis Saborit, an undocumented immigrant from Cuba and Thayer's boyfriend. He was apprehended by police 1.5 miles away from the scene and is currently facing first-degree murder charges.

Alexis Saborit was the boyfriend of America Thayer; the two had been dating for roughly seven years.

Saborit is an illegal immigrant from Cuba, who was wanted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. According them, he has a criminal record which included domestic assault charges in Minnesota and Louisiana, a DUI, and running from a police officer. They attempted to deport him in 2012, but Cuba would not approve his travel documents and so he remained in the country.

He was convicted of domestic violence in 2017 when he pinned Thayer to the ground after becoming suspicious that she had been speaking to another man at a bar. Before the trial, a restraining order was put in place against him, but was removed after Thayer sent the court a handwritten note asking for it to be overturned.

Saborit was scheduled to appear in Scott County court on the day of the killing on charges of arson after he allegedly set fire to his apartment.

On 28 July 2021, Saborit and Thayer were driving through Shakopee. According to Saborit, an altercation between the two of them broke out after Thayer told him that she wanted to break up with him. Saborit pulled out a machete, which he often carried with him, and beheaded Thayer.

At around 2:30 PM, the Shakopee Police Department responded to a report of a headless body dumped from a car near 4th and Spencer. When they arrived on the scene, they found America Thayer's headless body, along with her head, lying near her car. She was pronounced dead on the scene. Further investigation of the scene revealed a machete and bloody clothing in the recycling bin of a nearby alleyway.

Police documents show that several people witnessed the killing. One person recorded a video of Saborit dumping the body, then picking up Thayer's head by the hair. Another reported seeing Saborit hitting something and throwing it.

John Reginald Halliday Christie (8 April 1899 – 15 July 1953), known to his family and friends as Reg Christie, was an English serial killer and alleged necrophile active during the 1940s and early 1950s. He murdered at least eight people—including his wife, Ethel—by strangling them in his flat at 10 Rillington Place, Notting Hill, London. The bodies of three of Christie's victims were found in a wallpaper-covered kitchen alcove soon after Christie moved out of Rillington Place during March 1953. The remains of two more victims were discovered in the garden, and his wife's body was found beneath the floorboards of the front room. Christie was arrested and convicted of his wife's murder, for which he was hanged.

Two of Christie's victims were Beryl Evans and her baby daughter Geraldine, who, along with Beryl's husband, Timothy Evans, were tenants at 10 Rillington Place during 1948–49. This case sparked huge controversy after Evans was charged with both murders, found guilty of the murder of his daughter, and hanged in 1950. Christie was a major prosecution witness; when his own crimes were discovered three years later, serious doubts were raised about the integrity of Evans's conviction. Christie himself subsequently admitted killing Beryl, but not Geraldine; it is now generally accepted that Christie murdered both Beryl and Geraldine and that police mishandling of the original inquiry allowed Christie to escape detection and enabled him to murder four more women. The High Court quashed Evans's conviction in 2004, accepting that Evans did not murder either his wife or his child.

On 4 March 2018, Skripal and his 33-year-old daughter Yulia, who was visiting from Moscow, were found "slipping in and out of consciousness on a public bench" near a shopping centre in Salisbury by a doctor and nurse who were passing by. While at Salisbury District Hospital, they were put into induced comas to prevent organ damage due to being poisoned by the lethal nerve agent Novichok. The police declared a major incident as a number of agencies were involved.[59] Following the incident, health authorities checked 21 members of the emergency services and the public for symptoms; two police officers were treated for possible minor symptoms, said to be itchy eyes and wheezing, while a third, Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, who had been sent to Sergei Skripal's house, was in a serious condition. As of 11 March 2018, Bailey remained seriously ill but stable. By 22 March 2018, he had recovered enough to be discharged from the hospital, and by 15 January 2019, he returned to active duty. As of 15 March 2018, Skripal and his daughter remained critically ill. On 29 March, Yulia was reported to be out of critical condition, "conscious and talking".

On 6 March, it was agreed under the National Counter Terrorism Policing Network that the Counter Terrorism Command based within the Metropolitan Police would take over the investigation from Wiltshire Police. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, head of Counter Terrorism Policing, appealed for witnesses to the incident following a COBR meeting chaired by Home Secretary Amber Rudd.

On 12 March 2018, Prime Minister Theresa May identified the nerve agent used in the attack as Russian-developed Novichok and demanded explanation from the Russian government. Two days later, May said that Russia was responsible for the incident and announced the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats in retaliation.

In mid-March 2018, Russia said that its diplomats were denied access to both Sergei Skripal and his daughter, who is a Russian national. On 31 March 2018 the BBC reported that the UK was considering the Russian Embassy's request, 'in line with its obligations under international and domestic law.

In the early morning of March 16, 1988, racing legend Mickey Thompson and his wife Trudy were shot and killed in their driveway as they were leaving for work. Two gunmen left the scene - on bicycles no less - and have never been identified or apprehended. 

After 13 years of no leads in the investigation, Mickey Thompson’s former business partner, Michael Goodwin, was arrested for the murders in 2001. 

Thompson and Goodwin had entered into a business partnership that ended quickly and badly, over money disputes and resulted in many bitter lawsuits with Michael Goodwin filing for bankruptcy and Mickey not... 

Many witnesses stated that in the months before the murders took place that, Michael had made statements that he intended to kill Mickey Thompson but there was no physical proof that he did.

Although the evidence at his trial was purely circumstantial, nineteen years after the murders, in January 2007, a jury convicted Michael Goodwin on two counts of first degree murder. Michael Goodwin was sentenced to life in prison, without parole. In addition, the jury found that the murders of Mickey and Trudy were committed by "means of lying in wait" - a very fancy way of saying that, the murders were a hit. 

Michael Goodwin has strongly contested his conviction due to the lack of physical evidence and he has made many attempts to appeal, all of which have been unsuccessful. He has continued to maintain his innocence in the years following the conviction.

Cops dedicated an entire episode ("Smooth Criminal", season 24, episode 3, originally aired September 24, 2011) to the case of call girl/escort Delilah "Dalia" Dippolito of  Florida, who was accused of solicitation to commit first-degree murder after being secretly videotaped hiring a hitman (who was actually an undercover cop) to kill her husband in 2009. At trial, her defense attorney claimed that Dippolito was tricked into signing the Cops release form. The defense attorney also claimed that her husband orchestrated the plot to get aired on Cops. In truth, Cops producers were outraged when investigators persuaded Dippolito to sign the release form before they questioned her, believing that since it was done under color of law, it would be useless. They later convinced Dippolito to sign a second waiver, saying they would give her a chance to tell her side of the story.

Ultimately, both defenses failed, and Dippolito was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison. However, the state's Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a new trial in 2014, finding that the judge at the first trial erred by not doing enough to ensure that jurors weren't improperly exposed to pre-trial publicity. The appeals court found that the judge should have questioned the jurors individually, rather than as a group, regarding how much they knew about the case. It also found that the judge should have dismissed the entire jury when one prospective juror revealed she had read about Dippolito's attempt at poisoning her husband. She was later released on an appeal to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, pending a retrial on May 23, 2016. On August 17, 2016, the appeals court rejected her appeal without comment.

Her retrial began with jury selection on December 1, 2016. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict and a mistrial was declared on December 14, 2016.  A second retrial was scheduled to start in June 2017.  On June 16, 2017, she was convicted.  She faced up to 20 years in prison when sentenced on July 21, 2017. Judge Glenn Kelley ordered her held without bail. Her defense attorneys said they would appeal the verdict. On July 21, 2017, Dippolito was sentenced to 16 years in prison

Uthra was a twenty-five-year-old woman, who was killed by a Cobra bite that was manually inflicted while she slept. She had been recovering in her parents’ home, in Anchal, from another snakebite, which occurred in March 2020, from a Russells Viper, in the home she shared with her husband and young son. 

Snakebites are unfortunately, common in India. But that two different species of snake, bit Uthra in a span of 52 days, both in extremely unlikely and separate conditions prompted Uthras family to have her husband, Sooraj S. Kumar, a twenty-seven-year-old bank employee, investigated. 

Thanks to her parent’s suspicions, evidence that could not be ignored and a rigorous forensic investigation, the truth was uncovered, and this unprecedented case has led to the creation of a whole new category of police training in India. This case is now used as a teaching module for snake bite investigations. It makes you stop and consider; this could not have been the first time a snake had been used to commit murder and of all the 58,000 snakebites that occur each year in India, how many of them were murder…..
