    All power all lights were lost forward. The fact that the [torpedo] hits were there, at least we think they were up forward, are borne out by the fact we have almost no Marines who were reported in that section of the ship. We have not a single steward's mate and their compartment was up there and we have very few officers that were in their rooms at the time of the explosion. So we believe all of those people were killed almost instantly.…

Anne found a ransom note in the empty baby’s room asking for $50,000 (“Body”). She saw that a ladder was used to climb up to the open second-floor window.

    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…

While the prison was open there were 14 known escape attempts with 36 known escapees. 23 of the escapees were caught and didn't even get close to the water, 6 inmates were shot and killed, 2 drowned, and 5 went missing and assumed dead. There is one escape attempt though that catches everyone's eye and immagination. Clarence Anglin, John Anglin and Frank Morris dug holes behind the air vent in their cells to get out. They also used makeshift items like papier-mâché heads to put in their bunks, a water raft, and life preservers made out of rain coats to help ensure their escape. the escape took place in June of 1962.
