    The Forgotten Story of Robert Yummy Sandifer

    The article I chose to write about was written by John Muller for the Washington Syndicate (January 21, 2011) and published in the February edition of Suspense Magazine. This article appeared under the title “ True Crime: The Forgotten Story of Robert “Yummy” Sandifer”. I believe the author was reliable and credible because this story has appeared in numerous other sources: Time magazine, and the Chicago Tribune. Additionally, these publications state the same basic facts providing further validation to the article.…

    Zodiac Killer Research Paper

    Zodiac Killer Research Paper

    It has been suggested recently by Gary Stewart, who even wrote a book on the matter, that his biological father was the Zodiac Killer. Though Gary’s father, Earl Van Best Jr., greatly resembles the police composite sketch of the famous killer, he does not match the large, heavyset body type described by the victims (Bergara). Other than his close resemblance, there is not any substantial evidence pointing to him as the killer. Another prime suspect in this case, named Lawrence “Kane” Kaye, has a good bit more evidence than that of the case for Earl Van Best Jr. He is said to have lived near some of the victims and crime scenes, and even worked with one of the victims. Kane had also sustained a brain injury in a car accident in 1962 and his psychologist said that he was “losing the ability to control self-gratification” (Bergara). Later, Kathleen Johns, who claims to have gotten a ride with the Zodiac Killer before managing to escape once he told her he was going to kill her and her child, identified Kane as the culprit (Bergara). However, many say she is not a particularly credible source due to the different versions she has told in the years following the incident (Montaldo). Though a compelling argument, this theory also fails…

    Stinging Jinx Research Paper

    I feel that the current classification of the Stinging Jinx as a Jinx is incorrect. Therefore, I firmly believe that the Stinging Jinx should be re-classified as a Hex. There are two major reasons why I have come to this conclusion and that is because of the definitions of both a jinx and a Hex and also because of the spells effects. If you really look at the defintion of a Hex, which is 'a stronger form of Dark Spell that causes moderate pain and can be seen as a major inconvenience', then this I believe more adequately describes the spell's effects.…

    The Boston Strangler

    DeSalvo’s testimonies held the same inaccuracies that the newspapers got incorrect. His interrogation was not performed correctly. He was guided into giving certain answers. There were also two samples of DNA found on Mary Sullivan, one of which did not belong to DeSalvo. Surviving victims of the Boston Strangler did not identify DeSalvo as their attacker, but thought his fellow inmate George Nassar seemed familiar. Nassar fit the profile of the Strangler, but was ruled out because of his use of guns in his murders. DeSalvo’s only connection to the Silk Stocking Murders was Mary Sullivan, but even that was faulty. Details of the crimes were inconsistent, so they were most likely committed by more than one person. DeSalvo’s disposition did not fit that of a serial…
