The Unabomber - He was a recluse who spread terror through the mail for 18 years. Two men died and more than a dozen were injured, but Ted Kaczynski wasn’t known as the Unabomber until his brother tipped off the FBI. Kaczynski’s “Unabomber Manifesto,” published in major newspapers, set off a flurry of activity for the FBI: writing analysis and comparisons, DNA gleaned from a single postage stamp and finally, Kaczynski’s arrest at his tiny cabin. The agents collected enough evidence, including the “Manifesto” itself, to convict Kaczynski. He is serving four life sentences plus 30 years with no chance of parole.

Rachelle Brewsaugh was 50 years old and starting a fresh chapter in Hamilton, Ohio, renovating a home on Parrish Avenue. But on October 11, 2022, she was found stabbed 55 times, and her longtime boyfriend Toby L. Madden was the one who called 911 in a panic. Madden claimed strangers had been in the house and tried to point blame elsewhere, but detectives say the physical evidence told a different story, including signs the knife had been cleaned and blood had been washed away. As the case moved to trial in Butler County, prosecutors highlighted Madden’s erratic behavior and the moment he made a damaging statement in court in front of family, including their daughter McKayla Madden. The jury ultimately found Madden guilty of murder and felonious assault, and he was sentenced to a term that makes him eligible for parole after 25 years.
