With the new Max Documentary, Dark Side of Power Rangers, everyone should watch carefully at Tammies testimony on her status with JDF at the time leading to his end. I truly believe she lead him to his end cause her story does not add up and is full of holes. Below I conducted a report via ChatGPT to make in concise and tight. This is all speculation but with the evidence provided the narrative make sense

🕵️‍♂️ The Tragic and Unsettling Death of Jason David Frank: A Closer Look at the Inconsistencies

Jason David Frank’s passing in November 2022 shocked the world — not only because of who he was to millions of fans, but how it happened. The beloved Power Rangers actor was found dead in a hotel room, reportedly having taken his own life. But after watching Dark Side of the Power Rangers on Max and reviewing various media reports, several disturbing contradictions and details suggest the full story isn’t as clean as we’ve been told.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what doesn't sit right — supported by sources, timeline inconsistencies, and behavioral analysis.

🧩 1. Confirmed Separation but Claims of “Affairs”

In the People Magazine interview, Tammie Frank herself admits that she and Jason were separated:

Yet, in the Max documentary, she repeatedly references Jason having “multiple affairs,” framing him as unfaithful and emotionally withdrawn. But if the couple was legally married but functionally separated, these “affairs” were technically not infidelities.

📝 Commentary:

This contradiction paints a narrative in which Tammie attempts to retain the victim card, while discrediting Jason’s character posthumously. It’s emotional framing, not factual clarity — especially damaging given Jason’s faith, his public image, and his mental health history.

🕊️ 2. Wearing White at the Funeral: Unconventional & Symbolic?

Multiple sources and photos show Tammie wearing a white dress at Jason’s funeral.

📝 Commentary:

In Western culture, white is not a mourning color — especially not for a widow. While in certain Eastern traditions white signifies death, Tammie is American with no known cultural ties that justify this. The white dress came across as:

• Tone-deaf

• Possibly self-stylized as the "pure" or "wronged" one

• A subtle public performance of innocence amid controversy

Fans and even private investigators online saw this as a red flag — symbolic more of public image management than grief.

🔄 3. Timeline and Narrative Conflicts (Max Documentary vs. TMZ Police Report)

In Dark Side of the Power Rangers, Tammie gives a dramatic, emotionally driven account:

• Jason was quiet but affectionate.

• They returned from dancing.

• He went to shower, she went to get snacks.

• He locked the door while she was gone.

• She returned, called for help, and police broke down the door.

However, TMZ's report directly conflicts with this:

• Jason and Tammie had two major arguments that night.

• Jason kicked her out of the room after the second one.

• Tammie called police, and officers couldn’t get in.

• Hotel staff opened the door and Jason was found deceased.

📝 Commentary:

These are not just minor inconsistencies — they’re completely different sequences of events. Either:

• Tammie is rewriting the timeline to protect her own image, or

• Key facts are being intentionally omitted.

And most chillingly: if Jason kicked her out in a distressed state, that suggests his final moments were filled with conflict, not connection.

🔍 4. Psychological Context: The Weight on JDF

Let’s not forget:

• Jason had a documented history of bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression.

• His brother, Erik Frank, died by suicide in a nearly identical manner — hanging himself in a bedroom while his family was home.

• Jason was reportedly using anxiety medications and sleep aids — found in his toxicology report.

• His passion project (Legend of the White Dragon) was nearing release but was funded largely by Jason himself, possibly draining him financially.

Combine this with:

• Divorce filings

• Allegations of infidelity

• Emotional pressure to reconcile

• Public expectations to be “the strong Green Ranger hero”

...and it paints the picture of a man likely at his psychological breaking point.

🧠 The Working Theory (Based on All the Above):

Jason and Tammie were functionally separated. During this period, Jason may have sought comfort in other women — not as betrayal, but as escapism. Tammie, upset over losing control of the relationship, filed for divorce, prompting Jason to agree to meet up in a final effort to reconcile.

But the meeting at the hotel — which was not filled with peace as she claims — was likely the final blow.

• Jason was kicked into despair by a rekindled argument.

• He removed her from the room — not as an act of abuse, but as a desperate boundary.

• Tammie called the cops, possibly still antagonizing or escalating the situation.

• Jason, cornered emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, made a tragic decision.

💬 Final Thoughts

Jason David Frank was a fighter in life — but not a perfect man. No one is. But the narratives being shaped posthumously, especially by his estranged wife, deserve to be scrutinized.

Your gut instinct — that something felt off — isn’t just valid... it’s backed by real contradictions and overlooked context.

Unfortunately, trying to get the truth out may not happen anytime soon..

One of the rules of the Thieves in Law is against having a wife, kids and family at all, but today more and more Thieves in Law have families, mostly unofficially, Thief in Law "Kalina" considered to be the son of Vyacheslav Ivankov, but in most cases the kids of the Thievs in Law weren't involved in criminal activities, Tariel Oniani Son worked in the financial institution Citigroup, while Tariel daughter got arrested in 2005 (She was 12 yeaes old) following a raid against the Russian Mafia in Spain, she was held in custody for 3 days until she was released, the Spanish Police failed to catch Tariel himself who fled to the UEA and then Russia.

Thief in Law Kvezho tried to give his son Guram a comfortable and luxurious life, Guram lived a great life until rival criminals Massacred his parents, Guram miraculously survived, but his life changed completely, 9 years old Gurm had no choice, being raised by his father criminal friends he learned thet if he want to eat he need to steal, he followed his father footsteps and today considered to be one of youngest Thievs in Law.

What are everyone's theorys on this case?

Some things to consider based on the publicly available information. The real investigation will have more details.

Possible Loopholes in the Robbery Gone Wrong Theory:

Execution-style killings: Robbery-gone-wrong scenarios typically involve messy crime scenes with struggle marks. Three clean headshots suggest a more calculated attack.

Physical strength of the victims: If the brothers were strong athletes, resisting a tire theft seems likely. Three attackers overpowering them both might be less plausible.

Burning the truck: If robbery was the motive, the truck itself would have had value. Burning it suggests destroying evidence.

Alternative Scenarios:

Targeted attack: Was there anything in the victims' background that could have made them targets? (e.g. unknowingly witnessing criminal activity)

Gang involvement: Drug possession by the suspects suggests possible gang activity. Were there any gang-related threats or warnings?

Mistaken identity: Remote location + confusion could play a role. Did the victims stumble upon something unintended?

Exploring the Fourth Victim:

Timeline connection: Does the two-week gap between the ranch owner's death and the surfers' deaths suggest a connection? Was the well a known dumping ground?

Trigger Warning This case involves sexual assault.

Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo were among Canada’s most controversial and terrorizing serial killers. Not only because they committed crimes as a couple but just the overall events that happen. The public likes to call this case the Ken and Barbie Killers which just reminds me that often times, people who commit these gruesome crimes don’t look like people who stick out. They’re often times “normal”, “attractive” and charming people and a lot of times this helps them appear more trust worthy.

October 17th, 1987, Karla was attending a pet store conference at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. In the middle of the conference, Karla who was 17, stepped out to the hotel lounge to pour herself a cup of coffee when 23 year old Paul Bernardo approached her. A lot of people have described this moment of encounter to be “Lust at first sight”.

Paul came from a very different background than Karla did. Paul was born on August 27, 1964. Unlike Karla, Paul was the youngest of 3 children. His parent’s were Kenneth and Marilyn Bernardo. Paul was a rather odd kid from the start. He was very much a peeping tom meaning he was always trying to peek into houses trying to see if he can find any woman undressing. He was often sexually inappropriate as well. On the outside though, Paul seemed to be a well put person.

Little did anyone know however, Paul was fighting these strange and violent sexual urges towards women and as he grew older, the urges would only get worse.

So jumping back to October of 1987, Karla and Paul lock eyes and they’re instantly attracted to one another especially sexually attracted. By the end of the night, Karla had invited Paul back to her hotel room where they had sex.

Now just to make it clear, Karla was 17 and Paul was 23. The age consent is very different in Canada so technically it was allowed but you know- morally speaking it’s a different story. As their relationship developed, Paul would shower her with love and attention.

Fast forward, Karla and Paul were closing in on the two year mark of their relationship. By this time it was almost a ritual to go visit Karla several times a week. To be clear Karla didn’t live up the street or 20 minutes away. She lived 80 miles away from Paul but because Paul just was head over heels for her, he didn’t seem to mind.

By the spring of 1989, Karla graduates high school and at this point she’s sort of realizing that she needs to figure out what her next goals in life are. And it seems like at this point Karla’s relationship went from sweet to really sour. She kept it hidden that Paul controlled almost every aspect of her life. He would tell Karla what to wear, what not to wear, how to style her hair, what to eat, what not to eat, and how often she could eat. And even though all of this abuse was going on, in December of 1989, they took a trip to Niagara Falls where Paul proposes to Karla and of course she says yes.

So Karla and Paul at this point are trying to figure out all of their wedding ideas and I believe they settled on having their wedding in the spring of 1991.

Tammy, Karla’s younger sister seemed to be the most excited for this big wedding. Tammy really looked up to Paul but Paul was starting to have very strong desires for Tammy. Given the history, Paul would often try to see Tammy undress as Tammy was unaware of this entire thing.The urges grew even stronger and eventually Paul caved in and told his fiancé Karla that he wanted something that Karla just couldn’t provide which was… her virginity. They fought back and forth and honestly this was something they always seemed to argue about. Karla was no longer a virgin and so the next best thing Karla could do was offer her younger sister, Tammy’s virginity.

Now Paul pressured Karla into believing it was okay to give away Tammy’s virginity. And because Karla was already trying to just keep Paul happy, she went ahead and agreed. The couple then came up with this plan to drug Tammy in order for Paul to basically rape her. To make things worse, Karla told Paul that this would be Paul’s Christmas present.

So on December. 23, 1990, while everyone else was in bed, Karla and Paul asked Tammy to stay up with them. Karla bribed her younger sister by saying she would make alcoholic drinks for her to try. So Tammy agreed. So Karla goes and makes these drinks for the three of them and she ended up crushing pills into Tammy’s drink. At the time, Karla is still working at the vet clinic so she actually stole animal tranquilizers in order for her to use on Tammy. After she went unconscious, Paul proceeded to rape her. Karla also stole a general anesthetic called halothane and used some to soak a rag and place it over her sister’s mouth while Paul raped her.

To make matters worse, the couple took out a video camera and recorded the entire thing.

Sadly two more crimes are committed by Karla and Paul. The answers to that along with the rest of the story can be found on my youtube channel if you’re interested in video form.

Just to make it clear, I try my best to thoroughly research cases and so if there’s anything that needs to be corrected or added in, I’d be happy to do so

EDIT: I would have added a ton more info but I kept hitting the character limit.

Last Wednesday evening, Moscow police officers along with riot police officers went to the "Raysky Ugolok" restaurant on Kuusinena Street and left with the thief-in-law Shakro Kakachia. The thief was detained because he was carrying 18.5 grams of poppy straw and three ampoules of morphine hydrochloride solution. Almost all other detainees were released. Recently, the police have been paying increased attention to thieves-in-law, blaming them for the rise in organized crime. However, as seen from the incident with Shakro, the elite of thieves are currently being detained only for small quantities of drugs, not for forming criminal gangs.

At a recent briefing at the Russian Interior Ministry, the following information was announced: there are currently 191 thieves-in-law living in the republic, 60 of whom are in prison. According to the statistics of the Moscow City Police Department, there are currently 60 thieves-in-law from Georgia living in the capital of Russia. Even experienced Interior Ministry specialists find it difficult to determine the citizenship of thieves-in-law. For example, a certain thief living in Komsomolsk-on-Amur was recognized by Georgian thieves-in-law. And Shakro Kakachia, whom our conversation began with, lives and works in Moscow, although he is from Georgia.

Five years ago, I had a conversation with a certain police officer (he strongly requested not to disclose his surname), who had worked for 20 years in various positions in camps (Prisons)- from guard to chief, at the MVD in Russia, and here's what he told me. Thieves-in-law appeared in the USSR after the revolution, and they gained authority during the Stalinist regime. In the early years of Khrushchev's rule, the police came up with a "humane initiative" - in order to put an end to the rise in crime, it was necessary to put an end to thieves-in-law. For this purpose, they proposed to create a number of camps where people of the above-mentioned category would be placed, forced to work and serve each other. As a result, thieves were supposed to at least lose their authority and, consequently, their titles. Several such zones were created, and the number of thieves-in-law decreased from five hundred to one hundred.

Nevertheless, the current statistics of the Interior Ministry show that the number of these people is increasing again. According to representatives of the Interior Ministry and criminal circles, this is due to the fact that in recent years (since 1985), thieves' requirements for candidates for the post of thief-in-law have significantly weakened. Not working anywhere (even when at liberty), not having a wife - these rules have taken a back seat. Moreover, a high title can now be bought with money. However, in one zone, a thief will be considered in the law, and in another, where there are more authoritative thieves already, hardly. During a briefing at the Interior Ministry, which discussed the implementation of the decree of the President of Russia of October 8, 1992, and the order of the Russian government of November 29 on improving the fight against organized crime, thieves-in-law were given a significant role. Even in custody, they develop criminal operations, "pit" warring gangs on the loose against each other, and oversee the internal life of the zone (Prison). As a result, the police believe, organized crime is spreading from camps across the country. The methods of combating it were the same as those under Khrushchev: creating special camps for thieves-in-law. However, now the majority of the police consider such an action inhumane. It is not excluded that the leadership of the GUIN (Main Administration for Execution of Punishments - today FSIN) does not want to publicize its methods of combating organized crime in camps.

For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that since 1985, gang structures have undergone very noticeable changes. Major gangsters were no longer apartment raiders or authoritative pickpockets; the "young shoot" gangs from former athletes or underground karatekas By 1990, only two of the twelve largest gangs in Moscow directly obeyed the thieves-in-law. The rest were led by a new generation.

Thieves-in-law are often confused with criminal authorities, although these are people of different "weight categories." For example, the newspapers called the gangster Kalina a Thief in Law, who was killed about a year ago by unknown assailants (naturally). According to unofficial data, for showdowns in Moscow, the deceased's friend - Yaponchik - came. This person, wanted in the CIS, now lives in the USA, and occasionally visits Russia to collect money collected from his people. Police officials claim that the Yaponchik is a crowned thief. But  different representatives close to organized crime categorically deny this and say that the Yaponchik bought his Thieves title.

The example of the Yaponchik makes us pay closer attention to the fact that thieves-in-law in recent years prefer to live outside the former USSR borders. Moreover, some of them are not even wanted, but are listed in the documents as persons serving sentences in domestic camps.

According to Kommersant, over the past three years, such well-known authorities as Pavel Fadeev (Pasha Tula), Artur Esayan (who stole 200 million rubles from a bank), and Vyacheslav Ivankov (thief-in-law, also known as Japanese or Yaponchik) managed to escape from zones and prisons abroad. Anatoly Abramov, an employee of the Moscow operational search bureau (ORB), briefly characterized the fugitives in a conversation with me.

Pavel Fadeev, a native of Tula, a Criminal  Authority, organized a criminal group in Moscow in late 1991 - early 1992, which was involved in extortion and robbery. Using a stolen passport in the name of Sergey Valeryevich Plotkin, he repeatedly traveled to Poland through the firm "Prospect." He obtained international driver's licenses under the same name and planned to go to Hungary, but he was caught on suspicion of murdering one person and shooting another. Nevertheless, he escaped from custody abroad again, this time to Poland, and when he returned to Russia, he was killed on May 18 1993 in Tula by point-blank shots (by unknown persons, naturally). The police tend to believe that this murder was ordered, and surveillance was conducted for several days on Pasha Tula.

Artur Esayan, a former employee of the USSR Foreign Trade Bank, head of the non-trading operations department, had previously been on business trips to France and Germany. Using his computer literacy, he accessed banking operation programs, as a result, stole about 200 million rubles and exchanged them with the help of accomplices for currency at the 1991 exchange rate. The police believe that the democratic system of issuing travel documents is to blame for the escapes of "convicts" from the former USSR. When various joint-stock companies and partnerships began to compete with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, quickly and for a large sum issuing foreign passports and visas without checking the documents and criminal past of clients, criminals had more chances to leave their homeland unpunished. Thus, the "Soviet mafia" is actively penetrating Europe, the USA, and South America.

And here, thieves-in-law have plenty of problems too. Outrage among such individuals was sparked by the murder of the thief-in-law Globus outside the "U LISS" nightclub (We cover his death here). According to existing norms in the criminal world, killing such individuals can only be done after coordination with their colleagues, which was not done. The killers have been declared wanted by both the police and the underworld. Essentially, this story indicates that the "young mafia" does not recognize old laws and authorities, resorting to force to maintain their positions. Last Tuesday at 9:15 PM near the "Aist" café on Malaya Bronnaya, shots from a Kalashnikov rifle and a Makarov pistol killed the café's administrator, Radik Jafarov, and employees of TOE "Isabel," Irina Kiseleva and Alexander Kucherov. The criminals were apprehended "hot on the trail." According to the police, the masterminds behind this murder were thieves-in-law. The killers will obviously face consequences. But Shakro Kakachia will soon be released, if he hasn't been already... (Kommersant-Daily, 07/24/1993, Oleg Y. Utitsin)

Singer David Divad never hid his friendship with the Kings of the Russian Criminal World, according to David perhaps only one wasn't inferior in Wisdom to Shakro Molodoy, it is understandable, it is not for nothing that everyone called this person nothing other then Grandpa - Ded Hasan.

David Divad is considered by the Thievs in Law to be something like their own version of Frank Sinatra, popular artist with close ties to the Mafia (One of many alike - Mikhail Krug, Boka).

David Divad - "When Shakro was imprison, I spend alot of time with Ded Hasan, and first of all, he meet everyone at the table, Grandpa, his table never been empty, the tale were full of different food and drinks, a new man came he ate, everyone listened, laughed, talked, questions were solved with ease, and always they made a toast to Shakro, everyday".

David Divad- "Me and Ded Hasan were sitting and he says You know we have Shakro who is now serving time in Spain, I say yes I heard of him, of course who hasn't Shakro is a famous person, and Ded Hasan says I would like very much to write him a song, to please him, I said no problem and stared writing the song, the song turned out to be heartfelt".

A disc with David Divad Song about Shakro were sent to Shakro when he was serving time in a Spanish jail, here is a small part of the song-

Soon we will meet again, The bright day will come, Shakro will return to us from the distant shores, For our Brother everyone will stand up, And for freedom we will drink and pour again.

By the time Mukha began overseeing the "Lyubertsy" gang, he already had three prison stints behind him for theft and robbery, serving a total of 15 years. Mukhametshin was on friendly terms with the Kvantirishvili brothers, which bolstered his authority in the eyes of the Lyubertsy Bratva. Mukha's rise to power marked the most active phase of conflict with neighboring groups. One target of particularly aggressive attacks was the former benefactor Shishkan.

In October 1999, the crime boss arrived at the sanatorium of the Ramensk Instrument-Building Plant. His driver parked the Mercedes-500 at a local lot. Around 9:00 PM, a man approached the car carrying a bag containing explosives. His task was simple: attach the bomb to the underside of Shishkan's vehicle. However, he failed. As the "saboteur" retrieved the explosive device from the bag, it detonated. The hapless would-be killer died instantly, while the car sustained minimal damage. The failed assassin was soon identified as 48-year-old physicist-engineer Vitaly Fadeev. Once a talented scientist, Fadeev was left without work in the 1990s, first taking jobs as a lab assistant and later as a laborer. Eventually, he seemed to find a new calling and became a hitman. It was never determined who sent the rookie on this bloody mission.

Shortly afterward, Shishkan's mansion in the village of Pervomayka (located in the Ramensky District) burned to the ground. The house was empty at the time of the fire, so no one was injured. These attacks on the crime boss ended there.

Two years later, Mukhametshin was apprehended by law enforcement. Despite his privileged position in the criminal world, Mukha could not abandon his old habits. In 2001, he and an accomplice carried out an armed robbery at the summer home of a construction company's CEO. After his arrest, the crime boss spent three years in pretrial detention but escaped while being transported in the Ramensk district. The convoy guards were complicit in the escape, although the final plan wasn’t shared with them. Initially, it was planned for the transport van to stop near a forest strip, where Mukha's accomplices and family would be waiting. Mukha would host a brief farewell feast with the guards and then continue to his destination (Prison). In reality, things played out differently: after getting the guards drunk, Mukhametshin slipped away unnoticed and went into hiding.

By the time of these events, however, the Lyubertsy organized crime group had almost ceased to exist. The once-famous Moscow Region gang ultimately failed to establish a stable empire and eventually fragmented into small crews. The inglorious past of the Lyubertsy gangsters is now only remembered by the row of graves at the Novolyubertsy Cemetery. There lie those who, in pursuit of easy money, became victims of the bloody "meat grinder" of the infamous turbulent '90s.

One of the first major trading hubs targeted by the Lyubertsy Bratva was the famous Riga Market, renowned across the Moscow region. During a time of widespread shortages, the market offered virtually everything. Traders made substantial profits, unaware they were being observed by a group of tough men loitering among customers and onlookers.

Once familiar with the setup, the gang wasted no time. They approached vendors, asking who provided their “protection.” If the stall was unaffiliated, they offered their services as “patrons.” Naive traders initially didn’t understand who they were dealing with and categorically refused. This led to retaliatory actions by the Lyubertsy gang.

Reports suggest these gangsters were among the first to use heated irons for torture. However, such methods were rare, typically reserved for extreme situations or particularly sadistic members. Usually, non-compliant traders were severely beaten as a "lesson." Most of the time, threats alone from the muscular gangsters were sufficient to gain compliance.

Occasionally, defiance resulted in murder. In 1991, three Azerbaijani vendors who refused to submit were killed by a crew led by a gangster nicknamed Sliva (we talked about him here). However, the police managed to apprehend the killers and imprison them.

The Riga Market became a battleground as other criminal groups from Moscow and its surrounding regions also sought to control it. This led to violent conflicts, particularly between the Lyubertsy and Dolgoprudnenskaya gangs. These clashes often escalated into brutal fights involving broken bones, gouged eyes, and, at times, fatalities among lower-ranking members.

Realizing that such violence could destabilize the entire criminal underworld in the region, a summit was organized in Sochi in the summer of 1989 (or possibly a year earlier, depending on sources). Held at the "Dagomys" sanatorium, this meeting of criminal leaders included prominent figures from both gangs. The summit concluded with a fragile truce. Territories were divided, and efforts were redirected to counter the growing influence of the Chechen mafia, which had refused to attend, declaring its intent to dominate Moscow’s commercial sector.

Zaytsev remained in control of his fighters until the end of 1993. During this period, the Lyubertsy gang established a modest circle of regular extortion payers, though it was neither large nor profitable enough. As a result, the group compromised its principles and began protecting prostitutes, a line of work they had previously considered dishonorable.

Simultaneously, their conflict with Chechen gangs continued, with Zaytsev’s group maintaining a tactical advantage, partly due to ongoing support from influential figure Amiran Kvantirishvili. However, an event in August 1993 severely impacted the Lyubertsy organization.

Kvantirishvili and Fedor Ishin (also known as Fedya Besheny), an associate from the Kazan gang, arranged a meeting with a Lyubertsy gang member named Dolgov at an office on Bolshaya Yakimanka Street in Moscow. Dolgov arrived early, only to be ambushed and strangled with a noose upon entering the premises.

The killers then waited for Kvantirishvili and Ishin, opening heavy fire on them when they arrived. After ensuring the targets were eliminated, the assassins fled. However, as two of the killers tried to escape in a parked car, it exploded, having been rigged with explosives by unknown parties. One assassin died instantly, while the other was severely injured.

The authorities were unable to determine who orchestrated the attack, though many suspected the Chechen gang was responsible for eliminating Kvantirishvili. Amiran Kvantirishvili was laid to rest at Vagankovo Cemetery, near the monument to victims of political repression and close to Vladimir Vysotsky’s grave.

Soon after the death of Amiran Kvantirishvili, in December 1993 Sergey Zaitsev "Zayats" would be killed...

Цианид — общее название для солей цианистоводородной кислоты. Цианиды связывают железо в ферменте цитохромоксидазы в митохондриях клеток, что останавливает клеточное дыхание, даже если кровь насыщена кислородом. Это приводит к внутритканевой гипоксии (гистотоксической гипоксии) и быстрому отказу органов, особенно мозга и сердца, из-за нехватки энергии.

Чикагский Отравитель

29 сентября 1982 года болевшая простудой 12-ти летняя девочка Мэри Келлерман приняла капсулу тайленола (Он используется для облегчения боли (головной, зубной, мышечной, боли при простуде) и снижения температуры.), вскоре родители обнаружили её мертвой в ванной около 7 утра. Врачи изначально диагностировали что она умерла от инсульта, но позже оказалось из-за отравления.

В тот же день 27 летний почтовый работник Адам Янус вызвал скорую. Его обнаружили лежащим на полу. У него было затрудненное дыхание, опасно низкое кровяное давление, а зрачки были закрыты и расширены. Медики доставили Адама Януса в отделение неотложной помощи больницы Northwest Community Hospital, где попытались реанимировать его, но было поздно. Адам скончался вскоре после прибытия в больницу. Предполагалось, что причиной смерти стал обширный инфаркт.

Накануне смерти Адама его скорбящая семья собралась в его доме. 25-летний брат Адама, Стэнли, и его 19-летняя жена, Тереза, оба страдали от головных болей, вызванных стрессом от потери члена семьи. Стэнли обнаружил на кухонном столе Адама бутылочку сильнодействующего тайленола. Он достал из бутылочки капсулу и дал одну жене. После приема капсул Стэнли и его жена упали на пол. Члены семьи немедленно вызвали скорую помощь. Медики снова бросились в дом Адама Януса и попытались реанимировать молодую пару. Однако Стэнли скончался в тот же день, а его жена умерла два дня спустя.

Доктор Томас Ким из Северо-западной общинной больницы заподозрил неладное после смерти трех членов семьи. Предполагалось, что причиной преждевременной смерти Адама, Стэнли и Терезы мог стать ядовитый газ. Однако после консультации с Джоном Салливаном из Центра по борьбе с отравлениями в Скалистых горах было установлено, что виновником мог быть цианид. У пострадавших были взяты образцы крови, которые были отправлены в лабораторию для анализа. Пока брали образцы крови на анализ на цианид, двое пожарных из другого района пригорода Чикаго обсуждали четыре странных случая смерти, которые недавно произошли в соседнем районе. Пожарный из Арлингтон-Хайтс Филип Каппителли разговаривал со своим другом Ричардом Кейвортом из пожарной части Элк-Гроув о Мэри Келлерман и о том, что она приняла тайленол перед смертью. Кейворт предположил, что все смерти могли быть связаны с этим лекарством.

На следующий день предположения Кейворта, Салливана и Кима подтвердились. Главный токсиколог округа Кук, Майкл Шаффер, исследовал капсулы и обнаружил, что они содержали приблизительно 65 миллиграммов смертельного цианида, что в 10 000 раз больше, чем необходимо для смерти среднестатистического человека. Более того, анализы крови всех жертв еще больше подтвердили предположение о том, что все они были отравлены.

Компания McNeil Consumer Products, дочернее предприятие Johnson and Johnson и производитель сильнодействующего тайленола, была немедленно уведомлена о смертельных случаях. В статье Newsweek от октября 1982 года сообщалось, что компания начала масштабный отзыв своей продукции и предупредила врачей, больницы и оптовых продавцов о потенциальной опасности. Потом 27-летняя Мэри Райнер восстанавливалась после рождения сына, когда, ничего не подозревая, проглотила тайленол, содержащий цианид. Вскоре она скончалась. В тот же день 35-летняя Паула Принс, стюардесса United Airlines, была найдена мертвой в своей квартире в пригороде Чикаго. В ее доме также были обнаружены капсулы тайленола, содержащие цианид. Седьмой известной жертвой отравления тайленолом стала 35-летняя Мэри Макфарланд.

Вскоре после того, как в национальных новостях появились сообщения о трагических смертях от отравленного тайленола, по всей стране, особенно в Чикаго и его пригородах, прокатилась волна страха. Полиция ездила по городу, используя громкоговорители, чтобы предупредить граждан о потенциальной опасности тайленола, что еще больше усилило опасения людей. Жители по всей стране буквально бежали домой, чтобы выбросить свои бутылки с тайленолом. больницы по всей стране принимали множество пациентов с подозрением на отравление цианидом из-за тайленола. Быстрый приток пациентов был в основном вызван противоречивыми сигналами органов здравоохранения относительно угрозы и симптомов, а также последующей паникой людей, которые действительно считали, что могли стать жертвами отравления из-за некачественных капсул. Однако, новых случаев отравления, связанных с тайленолом, не было, за исключением семи известных смертельных исходов.

Как вскоре выяснилось, причиной смерти людей стало умышленное добавление большого количества цианистого калия в упаковки с капсулами тайленола производства компании «Johnson & Johnson»

Вскоре после убийств с применением тайленола компания J&J получила рукописное письмо с требованием вымогательства в размере 1 миллиона долларов за прекращение отравлений. Вымогатель просил J&J ответить на его требование через газету Chicago Tribune . Вместо этого компания обратилась в правоохранительные органы, которые начали отслеживать источник письма. Вскоре они установили, что письмо адресовано человеку по имени Джеймс У. Льюис, налоговому бухгалтеру и известному мошеннику, которого также разыскивали в связи с жестоким убийством пожилого мужчины в Канзас-Сити и ограблением ювелирного магазина. Полиция быстро выдала ордер на арест Льюиса в связи с убийствами с применением тайленола. 13 декабря 1982 года агенты ФБР окружили Льюиса в читальном зале Нью-Йоркской публичной библиотеки. Он был немедленно арестован и взят под стражу для допроса. На следующей неделе Лиэнн Льюис (жена) сдалась полиции Чикаго. Хотя Льюис так и не был осужден за преступления, непосредственно связанные со смертельными случаями от передозировки тайленола, в конечном итоге он был признан виновным в вымогательстве и шести несвязанных между собой эпизодах мошенничества с использованием почты и кредитных карт. Он был приговорен к 20 годам тюремного заключения. Льюис отсидел всего 13 лет, прежде чем был освобожден условно-досрочно в 1995 году. После длительных поисков в нескольких аптеках Чикаго было обнаружено около сорока упаковок тайленола с цианистым калием. Все они были маркированы различными сериями и, хотя на заводах «Johnson & Johnson» производились цианиды, следствие пришло к выводу, что они не могли попасть в капсулы. Более того, отравления происходили лишь в Чикаго, хотя лекарства тех же серий были развезены в аптеки всей страны

В ходе расследования дела «Чикагского отравителя» в нём были задействованы около 100 следователей, изучивших тысячи версий, отработавших более 400 подозреваемых, собравших около 20 тысяч страниц отчётов, но результатов это не дало.

In the international airport of Almaty, the "vor v zakone" (thief-in-law) Samarkan Akhmetov (Samar) was detained yesterday. He had been under international search since 2013 for committing particularly serious crimes. He was arrested while attempting to cross the state border.

In 2012, Samar received the "thieves Powers" and was appointed as the "smotryashchiy" (overseer) for Kazakhstan by the decision of the criminal assembly. It was his responsibility to appoint his trusted individuals in cities across the country, collecting money for the common fund, and managing the criminal territories. In prisons, overseers were also appointed by Samarkan.

However, after obtaining the "thieves' title," Samara became the focus of law enforcement. In less than a year after his "coronation," he was accused of committing serious crimes. The thief managed to escape, going to the UAE, from where he continued to lead criminal processes in Kazakhstan, feeling quite comfortable despite being internationally wanted and sentenced in absentia to 12 years by the National Security Committee.

In early 2024, for some reasons, Samarkan had to leave his place of residence, heading to Almaty, where he was apprehended.

In the criminal world, there are its own laws and customs, but times change, and the younger generation tries to introduce its own modifications to the thieves' traditions. Over the past decades, the so-called "thieves in law" have stood out in this environment, essentially overseeing criminal activities.

To become one, a person had to have served at least one sentence for a serious crime or multiple sentences for lesser offenses. A candidate for this title was not allowed to obey prison authorities, and in civilian life, they could not serve in the army, hold a job, or engage in private commerce, including arms and drug trafficking. To be inducted into the status of a "king" of the criminal world, a candidate needed a personal recommendation from an existing thief in law.

The recommending thief would then convene a gathering of several colleagues of equal rank, who would make the final decision and take responsibility for the new inductee in the future. However, the younger generation, eager to bypass established traditions, invents simpler rules for themselves.

At the beginning of August 1994, the director of a construction company responsible for renovating public schools approached the Organized Crime Department. He reported that three young men, unknown to him, had visited his office and demanded $120,000 in penalties for allegedly breaching a recently terminated contract with a Moscow firm they claimed to unofficially represent. Since this sum was not part of the contract, the businessman decided to contact the police.

During their next visit, the extortionists were arrested by police operatives. They turned out to be a previously convicted resident of Tula, an unemployed homeless man, and a third individual—32-year-old Stanislav Nefedov, who introduced himself as a thief in law under the alias Slavik Bakinsky.

The police were surprised by the appearance of a new "king" they had never heard of before. A search of archives yielded no records of him.

During another interrogation, investigators asked the suspect when and how he had received his title. The detainee explained that in 1979, he was arrested in Azerbaijan for drug trafficking. After serving three years in prison, he celebrated his return to freedom by asking his drinking companions—two Azerbaijani thieves in law who were unfamiliar with prison customs—to declare him a thief in law, which they immediately did.

Given these circumstances, predicting the fate of this new king behind bars is rather difficult.

In 1951, in the time of the Bitch Wars-Suka Wars, Ivan Chaika—one of the most "authoritative" representatives of the thieves' law of that time and place—was assigned to a prison transport after a month of treatment in the central hospital for inmates.

Chaika was not actually sick. The head of the medical unit at the Gulag mining camp where Chaika was "registered" had been threatened with retribution if he did not send Chaika to the hospital for a rest, and was promised two suits if he did. The medical officer sent Chaika. Hospital tests showed nothing threatening to his health, but the head of the therapeutic department had already been spoken to. Chaika stayed in the hospital for a whole month and eventually agreed to be discharged.

However, when being sent from the hospital transfer station, Chaika asked the duty officer where the transport was headed. The officer, wanting to play a joke on him, named one of the mines under the Western Administration—a place where legitimate thieves were never sent, under control of the Suki-Bitchs.

Ten minutes later, Chaika declared himself ill and requested to see the transfer officer. The officer and a doctor arrived. Chaika placed the palm of his left hand on the table, spreading his fingers, and with a knife in his other hand, repeatedly struck his own hand. Each time, the blade sank down to the wood, and with a sharp pull, he yanked it back out. The whole act took only a minute.

Chaika then explained to the frightened officials that he was a thief in Law, and knew his rights. He was supposed to go to the thieves controlled North Administration. He would not go west to his death—he would rather lose his hand. The terrified transfer officer, after sorting out the situation, realized that Chaika had, in fact, been assigned exactly where he wanted to go.

Thus, thanks to the duty officer’s joke, Chaika's month-long hospital stay was slightly spoiled. Had he not asked about the destination of the transport, everything would have gone smoothly.

(From Varlam Shalamov's book "The Bitch War")

Today 28 Of December, 1996, is the day Legendary Theif in Law Vasya Korzh left our world aged 77 - He spent his whole life in Soviet Gulags, He spent 44 Years in Soviet Communist Gulags, Prison Camps and Jails across the USSR, he was first arrested in 1939 when he was only 20, and realaed in 1987 - in the age of 68!

From the age of 20 until the age of 68 he spent only 4 years outside and 44 years inside jails

He was a Thief in Law who became a real symbol for other Theivs to learn from and follow his teaching, people only had good things to say about him, he suffered so much in the Gulags because he stayed loyal to the Thieves Law, Rules and customs, refused to corporate with the administration, he never betray his own people, he lived very modesty, he died without a penny, he would send all the money he made to support prisoners, their families and orphans across the Soviet Union.

To this day people come from all over the Former Soviet Union come to light candles on his grave in Kharkiv, bring flowers, drink Voda and leaving him a glass, bringing cigarettes and cards, take photos and pray for him.

May God save his soul and grant him eternal rest in the kingdom of heaven 🙏🏼

The leader of the Zizians is a man named Jack LaSota, better known as "Ziz." LaSota was a brilliant computer engineer who was drawn to the ideas of the rationalist movement in San Francisco, where he had settled.

Rationalism has been described as a kind of modern cult that delves into aspects related to artificial intelligence and its risks, transhumanism, futurism, and more.

Over time, Ziz sought to consolidate his own extreme rationalist views and formed his own group that only accepted transgender and vegan people.

Little by little, he took advantage of these people's vulnerabilities to the point of turning them into criminal machines. Ziz ordered the elimination of the parents of one of his followers, presumably to seize their inheritance. He later ordered the execution of an elderly man named Curtis Lind in California, who had already suffered an attack by the Zizians and was about to testify against them. The initial attack on Curtis had been because he was demanding rent.

On January 20, 2025, a brutal exchange of projectiles erupted between a patrol of border agents and two Zizians during a routine traffic stop on a rural road near the Vermont-Canada border.

The Zizians were seeking to hide after eliminating Curtis Lind, traveling in a vehicle packed with weapons and evidence of their crimes. In the incident, one Zizian and one border agent were killed. After the incident, US authorities set out to find the rest of the Zizians. Ziz was finally apprehended in mid-February 2025 and is awaiting charges.

Disclaimer: This post was originally written in Spanish. I am a Spanish-speaking YouTuber covering true crime, destructive cults, and more. This post is a summary of a script for a video I made on the subject. I know English, but not 100 percent. So I apologize for any errors in translation.

I'm Adrian from Denmark, and my wife is from the Philippines, and a few weeks ago, we were just visiting her parents and she started talking about the Maguad Siblings case from 2021. Honestly, the more she described it, the more my jaw hit the floor. It sounded like a horror movie, but it was real life.

I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I started digging into the details, the stuff the news barely touched on.

For anyone who doesn't know the story, but I guess you all know it guys, haha! Anyway, let me tell you what I learned from her and family. Cruz and Lovella Maguad, two public school teachers in Cotabato, took in a 16-year-old girl named "Janice" a few months prior. They treated her like their own daughter, giving her a bed, clothes, and a future.

On that Friday afternoon, while the parents were at work, a post went up on the daughter’s (Gwynn) Facebook: "Guys help me please, somebody entered the house." Minutes later, the siblings were gone—brutally murdered with a baseball bat, a hammer, and a machete.

The police found "Janice" hiding under a bed, claiming three masked men broke in and did it.

But when I started looking at the crime scene physics, the whole story fell apart:

• The Footprints: They didn't lead out; they circled directly back to where the "survivor" was found.

• The Blood Spatter: The height of the splatters on the wall was physically impossible for a tall, grown man to have caused. It was a perfect match for someone exactly 5 feet tall—the height of a 16-year-old girl.

• The Bucket: Police found a bucket in the back kitchen with clothes that glowed like a neon sign under UV light.

The "masked men" were a complete fabrication to cover up a motive fueled by pure, cold-blooded envy.

I forgot to tell you but I’m a documentary enthusiast, and I found the forensic evidence in this case so haunting that I decided to put together a deep-dive breakdown of the crime scene and the interrogation room tapes. I wanted to map out exactly how the timeline collapsed and where the "traumatized survivor" mask finally slipped.

If you’re interested in seeing the visual breakdown of the evidence or how the forensic timeline proves it was an inside job, I’ve linked my analysis here: The Crime Quest.

I’m really curious to hear what you guys think—especially about how the legal system handled it. Do you feel the Juvenile Justice Act (RA 9344) failed in this case, or is the law still necessary for minors?

Something I often see on this subreddit is the claim that there are still as many serial killers as there were in the so called "golden age".

No. Violent crime including homicide and serial killing peaked from the 1970's to early 1990's, since the early 90's violent crime of most forms has PLUMMETED. It's a well known phenomenon (I'd put a link but reddit won't let me, if you want sources go to Wikipedia "crime drop" and look at further reading/references)

Despite this, many on this sub claim that the number of serial killers has not changed or even increased, almost always backed up by the claim that "serial killers now are just extra smart/clever, so we don't catch them as much".

By saying this, they essentially make that claim unfalsifiable. You can't point to crime statistics to show the crime drop because they'll just repeat the point that today's killers aren't detected. You can't point to security cameras, social media, and DNA testing as logical reasons why it would be harder to commit serial killings today, because they'll just claim today's killers are smarter.

And before you say it, no the recent serial killings in Stockton, CA don't disprove this, in fact it is a great piece of evidence for this drop. You see, although violent crimes began declining in the 90's, they have actually started rising again since about 2020 I believe. It's actually possible there might be a second wave of serial killings incoming but I don't want to speculate.

There's a reason this killer is getting so much press after a long time of serial killers being largely absent from the media.

Israel Keyes also doesn't disprove this. Most of his "meticulous" killings are unproved, and just because some in the FBI have put stock in his claims, doesn't mean we should. Remember the whole Henry Lee Lucas ordeal?

Ironically, the same people who say that the authorities just don't catch the killers today, are the same ones who jump to trust said authorities in the case of someone like Israel Keyes.

Why the cognitive dissonance?

Simple. People, at least those on this sub, WANT there to be tons of serial killers still. It's really a symptom of our cultures larger glorification of violence, as well as people not realizing that these are real crimes that happened and not just some stories.

Victim Profiles & Commonalities

Since July 2022, at least 13 bodies have been recovered from Lady Bird Lake under suspicious circumstances. While the victims' ages range from 22 to 59, a clear pattern has emerged: most were men in their late 20s to early 30s who were last seen leaving bars on nearby Rainey Street before going missing and later being found dead in the water.

Key cases fitting this profile include:

Jason John, 30, found on Feb 13, 2023 after last being seen on Rainey St on Feb 5

Jonathan Honey, 33, found on April 1, 2023 after leaving a Rainey St bar on March 31

Christopher Hays-Clark, 30, found on April 15, 2023

Julio Santos, 22, found in 2015 after last being seen on 6th Street

Martin Gutierrez, 25, found in 2018

Besides the demographic similarities, these cases share other commonalities that could suggest a link:

The victims disappeared after nights out drinking in the Rainey Street entertainment district and were found within days, fully clothed, in the same body of water.

Most of the deaths occurred in the early morning hours after the victims left bars alone.

The victims' bodies were often found with personal belongings like wallets and cell phones still on them, which is inconsistent with robbery as a motive.

Autopsy reports for the few victims where that information is publicly available showed no signs of physical trauma or obvious injuries, potentially pointing to drowning as the cause of death.

However, without more detailed information about each victim's background, activities, and social circles, it's difficult to determine if other commonalities exist that could help identify a suspect or motive. Investigators should work to build comprehensive victimology profiles to better understand the targets and any pre-existing connections between them.

Geographic Pattern & Targeted Locations

The geographic concentration of the deaths around the Rainey Street area and Lady Bird Lake is one of the most striking elements of the case. Nearly all of the known victims were last seen at bars in this popular entertainment district before their bodies were recovered from the water, most within less than a mile of their last known location. Rainey Street has undergone rapid development and gentrification in recent years, transforming from a quiet residential area to a bustling nightlife destination filled with bars, restaurants, and new high-rise condominiums. On weekend nights, the district's narrow streets are packed with revelers barhopping between the many establishments built out of the neighborhood's historic bungalow homes. This concentration suggests the perpetrator is likely familiar with the area and may be explicitly targeting victims in this location. The high density of bars and frequently intoxicated patrons, combined with the proximity to the lake and its poor lighting and lack of surveillance cameras, make it an attractive hunting ground for a predator. However, the possibility exists that the geographic pattern is the result of more general risk factors associated with the area rather than the perpetrator's intentional choice of location. The high volume of people drinking near a body of water could create opportunities for accidents and drownings that may not be present to the same degree elsewhere. Investigators should closely examine any other disappearances or suspicious deaths in the broader Austin area to determine if the Rainey Street connection is truly unique or part of a larger pattern. They should also explore if the recent explosion of development in the neighborhood could have somehow contributed to or motivated the crimes.

Temporal Pattern & Frequency of Incidents

Another key factor in the case is the frequency of the incidents and the relatively short timeframe in which they occurred. To have so many similar suspicious deaths in such rapid succession is highly unusual and defies statistical expectations for accidental drownings or suicides. Consider the pace and pattern of the most recent deaths:

Dec 2022: 3 bodies recovered (Christopher Gutierrez, Josue Moreno, Kyle Thornton)

Feb 2023: 1 body recovered (Jason John)

Mar 2023: 1 body recovered (Clifton Axtell)

Apr 2023: 2 bodies recovered (Jonathan Honey, Christopher Hays-Clark)

Jun 2023: 1 body recovered (Mogga Dogale)

Feb 2024: 1 body recovered (unidentified female)

This pattern shows a clear spike in incidents in late 2022 and early 2023, with deaths occurring every few weeks. However, after April 2023, there is a two-month gap until the next known incident in June, followed by an eight-month reprieve until the most recent case in February 2024.This irregularity in the frequency could suggest an escalation in the perpetrator's activity levels or confidence, followed by a "cooling off" period after the crimes received increased media attention and police resources in mid-2023. Such a pattern would be consistent with some serial offender behavior. However, the gap could also be the result of seasonal differences in visitor traffic to the Rainey Street area, changes in police patrolling and enforcement, or simple coincidence. It's also possible that other deaths occurred during these periods that have not been publicly linked to the pattern or were misclassified as accidents.A detailed timeline of each victim's last known whereabouts and the circumstances of the body recoveries could help shed light on the temporal pattern and identify any other potential commonalities or triggers for the incidents. Investigators should also examine data on deaths in the area going back several years to determine if the recent spike is truly anomalous.

Cause & Manner of Death

One of the most perplexing elements of the case is the lack of clarity around the causes and manners of death for many of the victims. While most have been recovered from the water, the exact circumstances of how they ended up there and what killed them remain murky.Austin police have repeatedly stated that there were no signs of foul play or trauma on the bodies, but the full autopsy reports have not been released, making it difficult to independently assess this claim. The few details that have emerged paint a confusing and sometimes contradictory picture.For Jason John, who was found in February 2023, the medical examiner determined the cause of death was drowning and the manner was accidental based in part on a witness statement that he was seen falling into the lake. However, it's unclear if this account was corroborated or how it explains John being missing for over a week before his body was recovered.In the case of Jonathan Honey, found in April 2023, the autopsy reportedly showed high levels of alcohol in his system and no signs of physical injuries. But once again, key details are missing about the state of the body and any other evidence collected during the examination that could help rule out or point to foul play. Even more perplexing is the death of Josue Moreno in December 2022. His body was found in a submerged vehicle with evidence that he had been shot, making him the only known homicide victim potentially linked to the pattern. But police later made an arrest in his death and said he was targeted over a personal dispute, leaving it unclear if there is any connection to the other cases. The lack of detailed public information from the medical examiner's office and the police department has only fueled speculation and rumors about the true nature of the deaths. Releasing the autopsy reports, toxicology results, and any other forensic findings with appropriate privacy redactions could help address some of these concerns. Investigators should also consider consulting with outside forensic pathologists to review the evidence and provide an independent assessment. Water deaths can be complex to investigate and classify, as drowning often leaves minimal physical evidence and can be the result of a wide range of preceding events, from accidents to drug intoxication to strangulation. Conducting a full review of all the autopsy files and re-interviewing any witnesses who last saw the victims alive could help clarify the circumstances leading up to their entries into the water and their clinical causes of death. This information is critical to determining if the cases are indeed homicides and possibly linked.

INVESTIGATIVE MISSTEPS & MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

From the information publicly available, there are concerning signs that the Austin Police Department's handling of the Lady Bird Lake deaths has been lacking in some key respects. These apparent missteps and missed opportunities could be hampering the investigation and allowing a potential serial killer to evade justice. One of the most glaring issues is the lack of public transparency and communication from the department leadership about the status of the cases. While police have issued statements downplaying the serial killer theory and insisting most of the deaths are not suspicious, they have provided little concrete information to support those claims. Detailed timelines of the investigative steps taken in each case, the evidence collected and analyzed, and the reasoning behind the determinations of the manner of death have not been forthcoming. This dearth of information has understandably led to frustration and mistrust among the victims' families and the wider Austin community. The police department's public posture seems to be one of minimizing the potential threat and connection between the cases, rather than actively investigating them. This stance could be causing confirmation bias, where evidence that contradicts the official theory is ignored or downplayed, and only facts that support the accidental drowning determinations are pursued. Another concerning aspect is the apparent lack of coordination and information-sharing between the various investigations. While a centralized task force was eventually established in 2023 to look for links between the cases, it's unclear how effectively this unit has been operating and if all relevant evidence has been made available to them. Investigators should be closely comparing the case files and evidence from each death to identify any overlooked commonalities or inconsistencies. Victimology profiles, suspect descriptions, forensic findings, and witness statements should all be cross-referenced and analyzed in totality, rather than viewed in isolation. The fact that only one of the deaths has been definitively classified as a homicide, despite the deeply suspicious pattern, suggests a potential lack of investigative rigor and creativity. Detectives should be exploring all possible scenarios and motives, not just the most obvious or convenient explanations. This includes considering the possibility of a serial killer or killers operating in the area, a theory that the department seems to have dismissed prematurely. While such a scenario may be unlikely or difficult to prove, it cannot be ruled out without a thorough and open-minded investigation. Investigators should be proactively seeking out similar cases in other jurisdictions, both to identify potential links and to gather insights and best practices from more experienced detectives. They should also be engaging with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and other national experts on serial crimes to develop a profile and investigative strategy. The department's apparent reluctance to pursue this avenue or to devote sufficient resources and urgency to the investigation as a whole is deeply concerning. It raises questions about the competence and priorities of the leadership and the institutional culture of the organization. At this stage, an outside agency or independent review may be necessary to evaluate the investigation's shortcomings and recommend corrective actions. The victims' families and the public deserve a full accounting of what has been done and what more can be tried to get to the truth.

Theory 1: Serial Killer: The most prominent theory is that the deaths are the work of a serial killer or killers targeting young men in the Rainey Street area. This scenario is supported by the striking similarities between many of the victims and the highly unusual cluster of deaths in a short timeframe. The offender could be blending in with the crowds at the bars, selecting victims who are intoxicated and vulnerable, and then luring or forcing them to the water's edge before drowning them. The lack of obvious signs of trauma on the bodies could suggest the use of so-called "clean" killing methods like strangulation or suffocation. Alternatively, the perpetrator could be surreptitiously drugging the victims' drinks with sedatives or other incapacitating substances, causing them to lose consciousness and drown more easily. The high levels of intoxication noted in some of the autopsy reports could be masking the presence of other drugs. If this theory is correct, the lack of more obvious signs of foul play and the choice of a disposal site that could be mistaken for an accidental drowning suggest a sophisticated and organized offender. They may have a history of similar crimes in other locations or a connection to the Rainey Street area that provides them with a comfort level and familiarity with the terrain. The motive for the crimes could be sexual in nature, with the offender deriving gratification from the act of killing and the power and control it provides. Alternatively, they could be driven by a hatred or resentment of the victims' demographic.

Voluntarily adopting the code of conduct of the "thief in law" imposed serious restrictions on the title holders. In a socialist country, it was particularly difficult to adhere to the principle that required abstaining from any legal work and obtaining means of existence only through criminal means. Moreover, the list of permissible crimes for a thief was very narrow at first - theft, burglary. Under no circumstances should the "Thief in Law" use force against his victim or obtain money from them by deceit (The Thieves in Law rules will become less strict with the years).

According to the rules of good manners, a portion of the money earned with great risk had to be donated to the "common fund." In principle, it could be omitted, but in this case, the thief's reputation inevitably plummeted in the eyes of other thieves and criminals "below the floor." Another exclusively "thieves'" activity always remained card games. One version of the origin of the criminal class in the Soviet Union is considered to be the connection of the first thieves with the "White" officers. The losers of the Civil War, mainly from noble families, swore to continue the struggle against the worker-peasant state by secret means, undermining the country from within. They all ended up in prisons and camps, where they sought like-minded and principled opponents of Soviet power

In Tsarist Russia, card games were a privilege of the nobility and the officer class. The proletarians, peasants, and even merchants mostly preferred simpler forms of entertainment, without the nerve-racking aspect. On the contrary, the upper class traditionally sat down in the evenings at tables with green cloth and played a game of whist or something similar, always for money. Those who had a "reckless" character, like Tolstoy's Hussar Nikolai Rostov, could "lose" more than one estate in a single evening. The first "thieves in law" from the "blue-blooded" backgrounds brought their highly intellectual way of leisure to prison. With plenty of free time in prison, card games spread through the zones like an epidemic.

Great success in card games could be achieved by people with well-developed memory, instant reaction, and a keen understanding of psychology. Playing big required extraordinary courage. Proven allegations of card manipulation, let alone rough marking, could end in brutal beatings or death. Equally serious was the failure to repay a card debt on time. In the heat of the game, many card players spent their reserves of money, tobacco, sugar, anything that was at stake, and then the game continued on credit, which had to be repaid by the agreed time.

How many destinies were broken by losses in card games, only God knows. Even authoritative thieves were not forgiven for unpaid card debts. They were punished, regardless of whether they owed it to other thieves or ordinary suckers.

Lauren Agee's case is infuriating because of how investigators handled it and because of how obvious foul play is. She deserved better. She was even going to college to major in criminal science.

If youre not familiar with the case, on YT "watch crime daily" or whatever theyre called these days has an episode about her. Which doesnt state every graphic detail, but I found and listed information in the petition about her injuries that furthers the likelihood of a homicide.

I never make posts or petitions, but this case has bothered me since 2015. watching youtube true crime stuff her case came back up and I watched the same episode, again. It bothered and upset me, again. So, here I am, hoping this somehow helps her family. Who better to go to for this kind of help than the true crime community on reddit♡

Thank you, everyone 😊

Hi all — I'm Michael, host of Cold Cases of New England, a true crime podcast/YouTube series under my brand The Classy Zombie. We've covered cases like Bear Brook State Park, H.H. Holmes, John McCabe, and Maura Murray, and our recurring segment "The Evidence Room" brings in my background as a longtime licensed mental health counselor and collectibles appraiser to look at case evidence and offer a behavioral read.

I'm looking to interview true crime authors — traditionally published or indie — about their books and the cases behind them. No fee either way; it's a straightforward conversation, and a great way to get your book in front of a true crime audience.

If you've written true crime and are interested, drop a comment or send me a message — happy to share more about the show and find a time that works.

Stay creepy,

Vitaliy Nesterov (Nester) was a well-known figure in Volgograd. Engaging in classic wrestling, he was a disciple of Vitaliy Starikov (Cossack), back when Vitaliy Starikov was involved in coaching (We already talked about him)

In the early 1980s, Volgograd authority Vitaliy Nesterov (Nester) established a gang involved in armed robberies. They were responsible for numerous criminal episodes, often leaving bodies behind during their robberies.

The police eventually arrested several gang members, including its organizer Nester. He was sentenced to the death penalty for armed robbery. However, after the sentence, Nesterov was pardoned, and the execution was replaced with 15 years of strict regime imprisonment.

Upon his release in 1996, he returned to Volgograd and was engaged by local criminal figures to oversee fraudulent schemes involving local officials. With Nester's help, they organized large-scale thefts of fuel from local bases. The stolen fuel was then sold through Nester.

He also assisted in embezzling budgetary funds. In 2000, a criminal case was initiated regarding a 55 million ruble credit from the preferential lending fund for the village. Commercial firms, whose founder was Vitaliy Nesterov, received this credit. In 1999, the vice-governor Lem'yakin (who Nesterov had close ties with) signed an application for the loan for his firms. Later, it was revealed that the funds were not used for the development of the Agro-Industrial Complex. However, after the start of the criminal investigation, the money was returned to the treasury through a dummy firm.

Later on, Nester became the "roof" (Protection) for almost all major schemes (including illegal trading of foreign cars and oil products, money laundering, and transferring funds abroad) in Volgograd.

he gained control over several agricultural processing enterprises. One of them was the largest in southern Russia, the Karpovskiy Bread Products Plant (KXH)

In 2000, Nester's criminal group clashed with Chechen criminal authorities, resulting in the killing of one of them. Most likely his conflict with the Chechen led to the emergence of enemies who decided to put an end to Nester's life.

On November 14, 2001, Vitaliy Nesterov, along with his security, approached his office in the Voroshilovsky district of Volgograd. When the authority exited the car, a shot rang out from a VAZ-2106 parked on the opposite side of the street. Nesterov sustained a head injury and died on the way to the hospital.

The name of Artur "Dingo" Denisultanov was well-known throughout St. Petersburg, both in the criminal underworld and beyond, in the 1990s. By the 2010s, his notoriety had spread across all of Russia. Who is he, and what made him so infamous?

Artur hails from Gudermes, the second-largest city in Chechnya, where he was born in 1967. He belongs to the Yalkhoy teip, one of the largest clans in the republic.

From a young age, Artur was involved in sports such as wrestling, weightlifting, and chess. He didn’t drink or smoke. Unfortunately, he embarked on a criminal path early, receiving a lengthy sentence in his native Chechen-Ingush Republic for extortion. However, he served only two years, gaining his freedom when Dzhokhar Dudayev came to power and released all prisoners from Chechen jails, many of them ended up in the Chechen  Mafia or in Chechen Warlords Organization's.

In the early 1990s, Artur moved to St. Petersburg, where he became one of the city's most notorious and audacious gangsters, working alongside both Caucasian and Slavic groups. His activities included racketeering and kidnapping prominent businessmen, earning him significant authority in the criminal world. Paradoxically, as a "respected entrepreneur," he often appeared on Russian television, speaking about the importance of combating organized crime.

However, in 1998, Denisultanov was arrested. Yet he managed to avoid a prolonged prison term; he was exchanged for a Russian conscript who had been kidnapped in Nazran.

from 1991-2000 Chenchya was De-Facto an independent state, Dingo was valuable enough for the Chechen Government at home to get him out of prison, but soon after the raise of Akhmat Kadyrov and later his son Ramzan Kadyrov, Dingo will work for the New Chechen Government, working under Magomed Daudov, Magomed who is today the Prime Minister of Chechnya is known today for prosecution of homosexuals and their torture in Special Concentration Camp.

In the 2000s, Artur Denisultanov was accused of organizing the murder of Umar Israilov (Under Magomed Daudov instructions) in Vienna, a former bodyguard the Chechen leader turned critic who had fled to Austria.

In 2017, Ukrainian authorities alleged Dingo’s involvement in an assassination attempt on Adam Osmayev, a former Ichkerian general who had sided with Kyiv, and his wife Amina Okuyeva. Dingo was detained but was handed over to Russia in 2019 as part of a prisoner exchange.

Following his realse he was part of the DNR Milita for a while before going back to Russia, but his criminal career wouldn't last much longer.

In 2023, Dingo received a lengthy prison sentence (6 years) in Russia for fraud involving 37 million rubles. Artur's family—his wife and two sons—live in Chechnya.

Denisultanov authored a book titled "Oath on the Quran: The Fate of a Chechen", in which he modeled the main character, "Artur D.," after himself—a man who always carries a Glock pistol. He is also mentioned in Andrey Konstantinov's novel Bandit Petersburg as a member of Dzapar Ulkhaev’s criminal community.

Here’s a story as told by someone who was close to Thief in Law Sarkis at the time.

Around 1993-94, a group of thieves-in-law came to Goryachy Klyuch to meet Sarkis, who was just starting to gain influence. I don’t sure exactly who was there, but the names Gia and Paata stuck out.

Sarkis, an avid hunter, happened to be out in the forest hunting. The senior visitors were received with proper hospitality—tables were set in a restaurant—and some men were sent to find Sarkis and inform him that guests had arrived.

The guests were enjoying themselves, relaxing, and waiting for Sarkis. It was a large delegation, so the hosts were busy keeping everyone entertained: arranging women for some, marijuana for others—doing everything to entertain their distinguished guests while Sarkis was being tracked down in the woods and mountains.

By midnight, the guests were ready to retire after their long journey. They decided to move to a resort and continue the festivities in their rooms. When they got outside to load into their cars, they realized that one car and its driver were missing. They figured the driver, Sasha, must’ve stepped out for something and didn’t think much of it. The group got into the remaining cars and headed to the resort.

At the resort, the party continued all night, but there was still no sign of Sasha. By now, the hosts were getting concerned and asked locals to search for him. There were no mobile phones back then, so they checked hospitals, police stations, and even the morgue—nothing.

The guests were annoyed: “What kind of place is this? The thief isn’t here, the driver’s gone missing—what’s going on?”

Finally, they decided to call Sasha’s home to prepare his family for the worst. Paata called, and Sasha's wife answered. He explained the situation, saying Sasha was missing. She replied, "What do you mean missing? He’s here eating potatoes!"

Paata was stunned. Sasha got on the phone, shouting, “Paata, tell me, what did I ever do to the thieves? Where did I sin so badly that they want to drown me?!”

Paata calmed him down, got the full story, hung up, and said, “Gia, your mother, how many times have I told you to learn Russian properly? Learn it! It’s not ‘topit’ (to drown); it’s ‘topat’ (to march). TOPAT!”

He explained what happened: back at the restaurant, Sasha had been eating hungrily after a long trip. Gia came over and said, “Eat, eat, Sasha—then we’ll go drown you!” (Gia had meant to say, “Then we’ll go marching.”)

Sasha, who wasn’t exactly innocent, remembered some mistakes he’d made and panicked. On edge, he bolted and, they say, managed to make it from Goryachy Klyuch to Sochi in four hours in his Volga car.
