Pretty Wicked

Today I'm revisiting one of the most infamous cases in American true crime; a woman the press called the Damsel of Death. Between 1989 and 1990, seven men were found dead along the highways of central Florida, and the person behind it was the last kind of suspect anyone expected.

There were two screen names at the center of this story, and neither one belonged to the person it claimed to be. In the mid-2000s, a married dad of two in his 40s near Buffalo, New York, was chatting online as an 18-year-old Marine headed off to war, with a girl from West Virginia who said she was 18 and went by the screen name talhotblond. When his lie came out, she started talking to his younger coworker instead, and before long, that coworker was shot dead outside the factory where they both worked.

Would you know your own brother if he came home after three years away? In the summer of 1994, a 13-year-old boy vanished after a game of basketball near his home in San Antonio, Texas, and more than three years later, his family got word that he had turned up alive in Spain. His big sister flew over to bring him home, and even though he now had brown eyes instead of blue and spoke with a French accent, the family welcomed him back, until a private investigator took a closer look at his ears.

Forerunners that knock before a death. A fish that spoke the language of the dead. A phantom ship still burning on the same stretch of water two hundred years on. And a woman who walks a beach made of bones. These are the ghost stories of Canada's Atlantic coast, where the sea takes what it wants and sometimes sends it back.

Do you remember the scary stories you half-believed when you were 12? In the spring of 2014, in a quiet suburb outside Milwaukee, three 12-year-old girls had a sleepover to celebrate a birthday, and the next morning, two of them led the third into the woods at a nearby park for a game of hide-and-seek. A little while later, a passing cyclist found that third girl lying badly hurt on the sidewalk, where she had crawled out of the woods for help, and when police asked the other two why, they talked about a tall, faceless man from the internet who they believed would hurt their families if they didn’t go through with it.

Some stretches of ocean don't give people back, and the Bermuda Triangle is the most famous one. Navy squadrons. Cargo giants. A cabin cruiser that called for a tow on a calm December night and was gone before the Coast Guard could get there. This week we're going into the lore. The famous cases. The ghost ships. And what science actually thinks is happening out there, because the real answers might be stranger than the myth.

If a kind neighbor handed you a bar of homemade soap, would you ever stop to ask what was in it? Just as the Second World War was starting, in a small town in northern Italy, a mother who had already lost most of her children became terrified that her eldest son would die in the army, and over the next year or so, three women who came to her for help quietly vanished. Their families got cheerful postcards about their new plans, and the mother went right on sharing little gifts with her neighbors.

Some details about the missing victims, particularly the adult cases, are circumstantial and Rand was never charged in connection with them.

Would you spend the night in a house where the owner swore something dragged him out of bed on his very first night? In 1968, a man bought a crumbling old inn in a small town in the English countryside and moved in with his wife and their three daughters, and from then on, he told anyone who would listen that the place was full of spirits, from a witch who’s said to have hidden there to the room they call the Bishop’s Room. Ghost hunters and TV crews have been coming ever since to see if it really is the most haunted place in England, but the strangest part of the story might be what the old wooden beams themselves have to say.

How do you rob one of the most famous jewelry stores in London and make sure nobody will ever recognize your face? On a summer afternoon in 2009, two sharply dressed men stepped out of a taxi on one of the city’s fanciest shopping streets and walked into a diamond store, and when they left, they took 43 pieces of jewelry worth nearly £40 million with them. Hours earlier, they had been sitting in a makeup artist’s chair, and the diamonds themselves have never been found.
