Someone was preying on children in Tyne, England. The killer was eventually dubbed the Tyneside Strangler. This story is terrifying for many reasons, but the scariest part is that the killer, was a child herself.  Mary Flora Bell had a very troubled childhood that was filled with abuse.  On the day before her 11th birthday, she murdered Martin Brown.  Just weeks later, Mary and her friend, Norma, murdered Brian Howe.
