But Sydney’s defense claimed she had a psychotic break. Sydney’s fate and guilt remains up in the air as her original conviction was overturned and prosecutors are asking the Supreme Court to reinstate the conviction.

Jacque Waller was a 39-year-old, mother of triplets, who tragically disappeared on June 1, 2011, in Jackson, Missouri. She had been in the process of divorcing her estranged husband, Clay Waller, when she vanished after meeting him to finalize paperwork. Her abandoned Honda Pilot was found along Interstate 55, but Jacque was missing. Investigators suspected Clay from the beginning, but it took months before they could charge him. In April 2012, he was officially charged with first-degree murder, and later, as part of a plea deal, he led authorities to Jacque’s remains and admitted to killing her. Jacque’s case has been featured in multiple true-crime documentaries, highlighting the dangers of domestic violence and the importance of seeking help.

Nancy Grunwaldt was a German tourist visiting Tasmania, Australia in March 1993 when she, and her red rental bike, seemingly vanished into thin air. After an inquest into her disappearance, it was presumed she was killed either due to foul play or as the result of a tragic accident, but she has never been found and her case remains unsolved. Two years later, in October 1995, Italian tourist Victoria Cafasso was her cousin in Tasmania when she was found stabbed to death on a beach in Beaumaris. Despite happening in broad daylight, her murder remains unsolved to this day. It is not likely that these cases are connected, but both remain unsolved and there are $500,000 rewards for information leading to convictions in both cases. 

No tip is too small. Anyone with any information about Victoria Cafasso or Nancy Grunwaldt can contact Tasmania Police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers Tasmania at crimestopperstas.com.au or on 1800 333 000. This can also be done anonymously.

Dorothea Puente is one of the most prolific female serial killers. Using her grandmotherly demeanor and image, she used the boarding house she ran to murder her residents and cash in on their social security checks. A search of her backyard led to the discovery of seven bodies, but Puente was able to slip out of investigators’ grasp by going out “for a cup of coffee”. Thankfully she was found in Southern California just days later and was charged with 9 murders in all. Her true victim count is unknown, as she maintained her innocence for her entire life. But the truth behind her crimes are more sinister than anyone who knew her could have ever imagined. Puente’s known victims were Benjamin Fink, Leona Carpenter, Dorothy Miller, Betty Mae Palmer, James Gallop, Vera Faye Martin, Alvaro “Bert” Gonzales Montoya, Ruth Monroe, and Everson Gillmouth.
