    Arnfinn Nesset

    Arnfinn Nesset was a nurse and killer from Norway. He used Curacet to paralyze the skeletal muscles. Including those that allow a person to breathe. While their heart beat, no air got in. His victims would rapidly suffocate to death in a painful and anxiety producing method. While his original claim was that he murdered hundreds. Eventually Arnfinn recanted his statements. In a trial that lasted five months, Arnfinn was found guilty and sentenced to the maximum-21 years. He was released after 12 years and passed away at age 89.    Sources: https://medium.com/@chelsealynnqueen94/the-life-and-crimes-of-arnfinn-nesset-norways-infamous-serial-killer-5cb3c93c0afa https://www.upi.com/Archives/1983/03/11/Norwegian-mass-murderer-found-guilty/4695416206800/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11257363/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_ql_1 https://www.worldabandoned.com/arnfinn-nesset-house-home-of-the-serial-killer

    Kip Kinkel

    Kipland Philip Kinkel was born and raised in Oregon. He was the son of two Spanish teachers and as a young child struggled with reading and writing. He had a good friend group and until he was a teenager had no disciplinary issues at school.  But according to Kip, he started hearing voices at a young age, voices that told him to kill. Voices that told him he was worthless. Still he kept all that hidden, even when speaking to two different psychologists. He began to have trouble with the law as a teenager, something his mother blamed on his choices in friends.  He was obsessed with bombs, even giving a school report on how to build them. Then he took to buying guns. Some of the guns were purchased legally with the help of his father. But some were obtained through friends. Eventually he unknowingly bought a stolen gun, completing the transaction at school. He was found with the gun in his possessed and subsequently removed from Thurston High school.  That night, Kip murdered his parents, built a plethora of bombs and waited for the sun to rise. On May 21st 1998, Kip returned to school, armed with his guns and a knife. He shot and killed four people and wounded twenty five more before classmates wrestled him to the ground. Keeping him there until police arrived and took custody of him. Ending his short, but devastating reign of terror.  Sources:  https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/kinkel/kip/cron.html https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/kinkel/trial/ https://jlc.org/sites/default/files/attachments/2022-02/2022.1.6%20D%20D148%20Opinion%20%26%20Order%20Granting%20Appeal%20on%20Counts%203%2C%204%2C%20%26%205%20Only_0.pdf https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/03c5bc08-f970-4fb3-88c3-271091cf374a/content https://www.klcc.org/tags/kip-kinkel https://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-killer-thurston-high/ https://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Kipland_Kinkel https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kip-kinkel-is-ready-to-speak_n_60abd623e4b0a2568315c62d

    Brookey Lee West

    Brookey Lee West, born Smith didn't have the easiest childhood. From absent to strung out parents who had their own rocky relationship. For a few years, she found peace at a youth home when her mother went to prison, but just two years later was back in the chaos. Ultimately her chaos led to mental health issues. She married numerous times until she found her scapegoat. Using him to help with financial fraud then killing him to get rid of the evidence. When she was tired of dealing with the tumultuous relationship with her mother, she killed her and stuffed her in a trash can. Locking her away until the odor brought the attention of police. Ultimately convicted of one murder, she is suspected in many more crimes.    Sources:  Witch. The true story of Las Vegas’s most notorious female killer.

    The Curry Murder

    In 1984 a husband and father went missing from Changi Singapore. Three years later an informant reports that the man was murdered by his wife and cut up by her brother. From there the family made him into curry and fed him to the local community via their church. While the story sounded insane, investigation led to the arrest of an entire family. But after so many years, was there even evidence to back up this story, or was it simply speculation?

    The Murder of Lisa Valdez

    Lisa Valdez was 36 years old when her life was senselessly taken. In a murder that perplexed investigators for over a decade. Lisa was found in her apartment in a gated community, but after all those detectives thought she knew were ruled out, the case went cold. It wouldn't be for years and the idea of using genealogy, the case would be solved. Anthony murdered Lisa, was sentenced to 16 years, and is likely back out of the streets as this time. Making everyone wonder, was justice really served.  Sources: Cold Case Files.
