Jack the Ripper
Welcome back! Sorry for the unexpected break, life happens! Today, we talk about the Jack the Ripper case at a really high level. We focus more on things that might not be commonly known and things that have surprisingly been recent. Our very own Sidney was just in London and visited the Jack the Ripper Museum where she learned many new things to share with us!

Belle Gunness
The thought of serial killers tends to seem so much more relevant towards the end of the 1970s or later once that phrase was actually coined. However, serial killers have been around much longer, whether we point to famous ones like HH Holmes or Jack the Ripper. Today, we will talk about another serial killer who began their work in the late 1800s and became known as many things, including one of the first Black Widow killers.

Steven Haataja
In December of 2006, Steven Haataja was reported missing from his work, which was a local state college in Nebraska. He seemed to have disappeared with almost no signs of foul play. However, roughly 3 months later, his body would be found. The scene was gruesome and it didn't take long for this to become a closed case. Although Steven's family has accepted the outcome, many locals believe there was more to this story since there truly are more questions than answers.
