    Andersonville Prison

    Andersonville Prison was created to house Union soldiers during the Civil War. Prisoner negotiations ceased, creating an influx of med being detained. Georgia was one of the sites that new prisons were erected to house these men. There the conditions were horrifying. Men were not given clothes, housing, or adequate nutrition. Men suffered from scurvy and fleas. They dealt with chain gangs and the stockade. As the war ended, almost half of the men that died in the south, died as prisoners of Andersonville.    Sources: https://www.nps.gov/ande/learn/historyculture/camp_sumter_history.htm https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/andersonville-prison https://artsandculture.google.com/story/daily-life-at-andersonville-prison-georgia-public-broadcasting/GgUBE3JvqMsmIQ?hl=en https://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/andersonville-prison/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOci27e2V8g https://blogs.loc.gov/maps/2021/09/the-maps-of-andersonville-prison/ https://npshistory.com/publications/civil_war_series/5/sec1.htm James Madison Page. 1908.

    Ellen Greenberg

    Ellen Greenberg had her whole life in front of her. Engaged and preparing the wedding of her dreams. She worked as a first grade teacher, a source of stress due to her large class sizes. She was seeing a psychiatrist and seemed to find some medication that eased her anxiety.  But on January 26th 2011, a 911 call comes in. Her fiancée came home from a workout to her dead on the kitchen floor. He reports she stabbed herself on fell on a knife. The M.E. immediately labeled it as a suicide and went on with their day. But back at the morgue autopsy would show 20 stab wounds, over 10 bruises in various stages of healing. Indicative of abuse and murder.  Her death certificate was changed from suicide to homicide for two weeks. Then it was inexplicably changed back to suicide, where it remains today.     Sources: Death in Apartment 603: What happened to  Ellen Greenberg https://www.lambmcerlane.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/inquirer.com-It-was-very-very-weird-A-civil-suit-reveals-new-details-in-the-case-of-Ellen-Greenberg.pdf https://abcnews.com/US/ellen-greenbergs-family-celebrates-prospect-federal-investigation-death/story?id=129238479 https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/us/ellen-greenberg-death-philadelphia-cec

    Long Island Serial Killer

    One womans call for help, leads to the identification of a serial killer on Long Island. Shannan Gilbert called saying a man was going to kill her. But police didn't go out and investigate immediately, simply following up later then claiming it wasn't a missing person when they couldn't find her. Her mother knew better, she pushed until people finally went out to look for Shannan. Finding instead four others. The push for Shannan led to a second search and six more bodies, the third to Shannan herself. In the quest for Shannan a serial killer was unearthed and we are still waiting for justice. Trial is expected for the potential serial killer, Rex Heuerman after labor day 2026. Maybe then answers will be had. Sources: Gone Girls. The Long Island Serial Killer Truth and Lies:The Hunted.
