Murder Me on Monday

People disappear all the time and murder victims get labelled incorrectly as runaways.

But sometimes its voluntary, people want to start a new life unburdened by their past.

Such a plan this week required a body so that the runaway would not be looked for by authorities and to pay out insurance to their family.

What’s a little murder between an employer and employee?

A troubled teen turned into a miserable adult.

 Being absent in his relationship and neglecting his parter resulted in an *unexpected* outcome, his wife had enough and filed for divorce.

Was it resentment at being “abandoned” in his words, or was it that she had moved on with her life that made him commit the most heinous of crimes.

Being involved in politics requires a certain amount of ones private life being scrutinised.

Being the child of a politician may cause you to grow up differently to your peers.  

It may also give you ideas on how to deal with people that are not doing what you want them to.

Are you entitled or completely off the rails?

William’s childhood appeared normal and uneventful until around the age of 17, when things began to take a darker turn and he started accumulating a criminal record.

As an adult his behavior spiraled further, leading him into a life of serious crimes. For years, he managed to evade justice despite being involved in increasingly heinous acts.

Was his descent into violence triggered by an alleged drug debt, or was it simply the inevitable outcome of the path he had chosen?

Adopted at birth, Joshua began exhibiting troubling behaviors as early as age five.

Despite numerous doctors and diagnoses, nothing seemed to help, by the age of 14, his behavior had escalated to the point where he was sent to a boarding school that also served as a residential care facility. 

Was his eventual act of destroying his family a response to learning about his adoption? Or was it an inevitable outcome, simmering beneath the surface all along?

They were farmers, had 8 children.  The oldest son (second child) was sent out to get bullets or shot and missed his fathers rampage, wiping the whole family out, including himself, on Christmas day in 1929.

Its about 60 years later that a motive comes to light but even now, its not confirmed that it is true.

On December 23, 1989, in the quiet desert outskirts of Mesa, Arizona, a young woman's life was tragically cut short. 

A woman who had been swept up by romance and a whirlwind marriage, became the victim of a cold-blooded conspiracy orchestrated by her own husband and his older brother. 

What followed was a long legal battle, with Cindy’s family, particularly her younger sister Kathy, fighting tirelessly for justice.

It's not THAT Bundy, calm yourself.

A serial killer is on the loose in Alaska.  

Authorities are stumped and a joint taskforce is set up with input from the FBI after one victim is found on Federal land.

The FBI profile was so very different to how the detectives had viewed the case so fare, they felt they had nothing to lose.

Maybe they should have been more cynical with only an 85% accuracy rate?

A family that on the surface lives the good life in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina in South America.

Beneath the surface something is very wrong with the parents’ marriage and also how at least one son is being treated.

Was it a case of lashing out after years of abuse or was it about the money?

Years later there is involvement in political scandal, fraud and even today, there is no end in sight.
