    Colton Harris-Moore: The Barefoot Bandit (AKA AyleSteelya Earhart)

    When Colton Harris-Moore was ten years old, a series of unfortunate events turned his world upside-down. Within a few months, his behavior worsened significantly, he became destructive and defiant, and he began what would be a considerable criminal career that would eventually reach epic proportions. Colton’s first arrest came at twelve years old, after he was picked up by police for breaking into homes and stealing property. Another arrest soon followed and by the time he was fifteen, Colton was on the run from police, who wanted him in connection with several robberies on Camano Island, a small island community in Puget Sound. After six months on the run, Colton was arrested and taken to a juvenile facility, but he escaped two months later and embarked on a crime spree, stealing everything from cameras and credit cards to cars and airplanes. Although he would be captured a little over two years later, by the time he was, Colton Harris-Moore had become notorious, with some going so far as to label him a folk hero.References Brooks, Diane. 2007.

    Harold Shipman (Part 2)

    In the winter of 1998, a general practitioner in Manchester, England, noticed that one of her colleagues, Dr. Harold Shipman, appeared to have an unusually high death rate among his elderly female patients. An inquiry was opened into the matter, but it went nowhere and was quickly closed with no finding of wrongdoing. Then, in August, another accusation was leveled at Shipman: he was responsible for killing more than twenty of his patients. This time, the inquiry was taken more seriously and the reality was far worse than anyone could have imagined. The arrest and prosecution of Harold Shipman rocked England’s medical community and shocked people around the world. Although he was ultimately charged with and convicted of fifteen murders, investigators suspect Shipman of having killed as many as two hundred and fifty people over the course of his career, making him the most prolific killer in the nation’s history.  ReferencesBBC News. 2003.

    The Union Screaming House

    In the spring of 2001, single father Steven LaChance moved his family from a cramped apartment to a spacious house in Union, Missouri. The house was intended to be a new start for the family, but before long their excitement turned to dread as life in the new house became a nightmare. Within weeks of moving into the house, Steven and his children began experiencing strange and unexplainable phenomena. Lights turned on and off by themselves, temperatures fluctuated wildly from room to room, and there was an ever-present feeling of being watched. In time, whatever entity lived in the house began focusing its malevolent attention on the children, exploiting their fears and terrifying them night after night. After several months, the LaChance family couldn’t tolerate the home anymore and moved out but, little did Steven know, that was only the beginning of his journey into the paranormal.

    October Bonus Episode: The Kidnapping of Peggy McMath

    On May 2, 1933, the Harwich Center School received a telephone call from the father of ten-year-old Peggy McMath, a student at the school. Mr. McMath informed them that he was sending a driver to pick up his daughter and he expected her to be ready. However, when the driver showed up, Peggy didn’t recognize the man and was hesitant to get into the car. In response, the driver of the car, Kenneth Buck, grabbed the girl, threw her in the car, and drove off before anyone could stop him.
