Heavy Rain
There was one a man who went by the name of Ethan. Ethan had a certain genteel about him, which made it impossible to believe that he was a serial killer. He would go to the neighborhood park and secede himself from the other families, watching and waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap and kill a young girl or boy. The kidnappings were so quick and scrupulous that by the time the parents had noticed the child was missing it was too late. He had a tact with getting away from the crime scene within the blink of an eye. You would think it would be easy to spot a man taking a child away on a tabular playground like the one in the neighborhood. He was the scourge of the neighborhood, but no one knew it was him until the head of the talion department hired the top detective in the country. The detective, Aron Jacobs, could scavenge a piece of evidence that occurred from a crime scene weeks ago and easily give a synopsis on it. Detective Jacobs was no sedentary man, he was always out on the field investigating and deducing situations. His unorthodox genre of dealing with crimes is what lead him to finding the elusive kidnapper Ethan. It was a dark and stormy night. Ominous winds blew through the air as rain poured from the pitch black, starless sky. Detective Jacobs hired a little boy to act as bait for Ethan to grab him. As predicted, Ethan finally shows up and snatches the child in his arms and bolted. Detective Jacobs followed Ethan back to his hideout, where he confronted him at gunpoint. Ethan put his hands up and pretended to surrender, but instead lunged out and attacked Detective Jacobs. Jacobs immediately pulls the trigger blowing a hole in Ethan's head right between the eyes. On the wall behind him was a big tableau made up of different pictures of the children he kidnapped. As a pool of blood emitted from Ethan's dead body, the sun had risen and the rain had stopped, today was the beginning of

    I was killing chickens. It was my 38th birthday. My brother had chosen that morning to tell me that he had caught his wife – my best friend, Ashley – in bed with my husband a year before. I had absorbed the rumors with suspicions about other women for 10 years, but this one, I knew, was going to break us. When I roared upstairs and confronted John, he told me to go fuck myself, ran downstairs and jumped into the truck. Our sons, Sam and Ben, were making a surprise for me at the table; they stood behind me silently in the kitchen door while John gunned the truck out of the yard (5).…

    Between 1979 and 1981, the city of Atlanta had a series of atrocious murders affecting African-American male children in the low income areas of the city. Over 30 children were reported missing in a 22-month period beginning of July 1979, and many children’s lifeless bodies were recovered, in the Chattahoochee River, alongside dirt roads, and in abandoned buildings, with the exception of one that is still missing, (Kiely 143). Most of the children were brutally assaulted and strangled. These murders were known as the Atlanta Child Murders.…

    March,27,1999, a serial killer is on the loose in New York City, NY. The first victim they killed was 20 year old Tonald Drump, by being strangled to death. Detective Pepperoni was sent to find who made the crime. Tonald was targeted and harassed by many people for using testimonial evidence on people in the court for things they didn't do. Tonald did not help or be nice to any people besides his family, and he had a bad personality trait of being rude, selfish, and lying, so it makes sense why people would want to kill him. Detective Pepperoni found some evidence from Tomald, it wasn't much only carpet fibers and shoeprints leading to a small town in Time Square. 3 days later another victim, 25 year old Anita Pea was killed by being stabbed in the arm twice and bleeding out the Medical Examiner stated.

    In M, the audience gets a clear sense of how difficult it might have been to capture a predator such as Beckert in 1930’s. Today’s law enforcement is much more equipped to identify and track possible predators; however, this was not the case in M. The police at one point had been investigating the murders for over eight months with no success in getting closer to catching the murderer. Progress was not made until police continuously raided local establishments and disrupted criminal activity. The bosses of the criminal underworld banded together to assist in catching Beckert…

    “All victims were strangers to him, all murders had been done in the middle of the night except for one. While he was nervous and fearful at the first shooting; he took great pleasure in it. He alone knew who killer was. He was omnipotent. The “demons” had transformed the unassuming and quite ordinary David Berkowitz into one of the most sought-after killers of modern times” (Abrahamsen, 1985). During childhood an individual goes through phases, events, emotions that shape his or her adulthood, David Berkowitz was not an exception like many other murders he was the product of his formative years. Notorious for the spree of killings committed in 1976-77 in New York City of young women, whom he stalked, and preyed on after dark. For one year…

    A Steady Rain

    • 1032 Words
    • 5 Pages

    It’s your typical cop movie, findable on the local channels. Two police officers claim to use their power for the good of the people, but find out how much easier it is to take matters into their own hands. Although we all can get this on our television for free, director Tazewell Thompson takes Keith Huff’s “A Steady Rain” and turns it into something worth paying for, or did he? The set is completely simple; as a matter of fact I must say it is very uncreative. There are two seats in the front and several are lined up in the back making two single rows. In the far back and sides of the stage, there are blinds with cracks in it as if people have been peeping through them. No art work, not even a coffee table, just chairs and blinds surrounded the stage. It took a while but it hit me, it is an interrogation room. Now, the only thing I predict coming is be a waste of hard earn money and angry people in the audience asking for a refund. But when the two actors came out and started to talk to the audience as if we were a part of the act, it startled me and caught my attention. I’m really in for the night of my life and if you were in my shoes, you’ll be to. This is definitely not your typical play; loyalty, friendship, and lives are at stake. Huff wants us to understand that it does not matter how long or how close you are with someone because in a split second they can betray you.…

    During the summer of 1895, America was held captive by the search for a family of children believed to be kidnapped at best and murdered at worst by H. H. Holmes. At the time of the search, Holmes was sitting in jail in Philadelphia waiting for his trial for the murder of the children's father, Benjamin Pitezel. Hardworking and driven detective Fred Geyer was assigned to the case, and over the course of the season he followed nine hundred leads all across the Midwest. Finally, in September, “a Philadelphia grand jury voted to indict Holmes for the murder of Benjamin Pitezel... Indiana [for] Howard Pitezel.... Toronto [for] Alice and Nellie” (Larson 369). The locations of the murders of Benjamin, Howard, and Alice and Nellie (Philadelphia, Indiana, and Toronto, respectively) are all hundreds of miles apart, and following the trail of a genius criminal between them was no easy feat. Detective Geyer was able to pursue crimes across the continent, exhibiting widespread determination; not only did Geyer never give up, but the Philadelphia Police Department never withdrew him from the field. Everyone involved in Holmes’ case believed that he had to be incarcerated, and as a result no one let the case drop. The nineteenth century was a time when disappearances were of the least concern and cases often went cold if pursued if all. However, the entire nation was entranced by…

    • 11 Pages

    Throughout history we have witnessed gruesome murders and the serial killers behind them. Serial killers like Ted Bundy, the BTK killer, and one of New York’s own, and most memorable killers the .44 Caliber killer, also known as the “Son of Sam” killer. For over a year David Berkowitz, known as Son of Sam, was able to remain uncaught walking the streets committing these shootings wounding and murdering many people. The criminal investigation that was conducted to capture this violent serial killer was very complex and widely talked about because Berkowitz spread out his shootings over a course of a year and committed them every few months making it hard for police to find a trail to follow. This paper will discuss the early life of David Berkowitz giving us some insight on how and why he committed these crimes, an overview of the victims and why they were chosen, what investigative measures were used to track him down and lock him up, and also what happened to him after he was finally caught.…
