A few weeks ago, a man named Jimmy Hysell posted on Facebook that his wife, Rebecca Bocook Hughes, disclosed information to him that there were bodies buried on her property … including the body of Samantha Burns. For those of you who aren’t familiar with that case, Samantha Burns was a 19-year-old college student who went missing from Huntington, West Virginia back in November of 2002. Her vehicle was found abandoned in a secluded area and had been set on fire. It was still burning when police arrived on the scene. There was no sign of Samantha anywhere near the vehicle and her body has never been found. Two men were convicted of her murder and are still incarcerated. Since his initial Facebook post, Jimmy has created an internet spectacle that’s garnered attention from around the world. Whether you believe his tale or not is up to you.

Serial killer Gary Leon Ridgway was born on February 18, 1949, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He held a job painting trucks for 30 years, was married three times and had a son. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Ridgway is believed to have murdered at least 44 women near Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. He was eventually caught in 2001, when a DNA sample taken from Ridgway in 1987 was tested and matched samples taken from the victims. In an interview, Ridgway told investigators he killed as many as 75-80 women, most of whom were prostitutes or runaways. He was finally convicted in 2003 and received multiple life sentences.

Seung-Hui Cho was born in South Korea in 1984. When he was about 8 years old, his family immigrated to the United States, where they ran a dry-cleaning business in Virginia. Picked on by other students at a young age, Cho was later described by his college professors as a troubled loner. He was twice accused of stalking female students in 2005, but neither victim filed charges. A suicidal statement by Cho to a roommate led to him being taken to a psychiatric hospital in December 2005, but he was released with orders to receive therapy as an outpatient. On April 16, 2007, Cho began his rampage by killing two students in a dormitory after 7 a.m. He later went to a classroom building and began shooting students and faculty members, killing 32 people and injuring several others around 9:45 a.m. The spree only ended when Cho turned one of his guns on himself, shooting himself in the head.

Gosnell allegedly made millions of dollars over his 30-year career, primarily from his lucrative cash-only abortion practice as well as by running a “pill mill,” prescribing drugs to addicts and drug dealers.

Heaven's Gate was an American UFO religious millenarian group based in San Diego, California, founded in 1974 and led by Marshall Applewhite (1931–1997) and Bonnie Nettles (1927–1985). On March 26, 1997, police discovered the bodies of 39 members of the group who had committed mass suicide in order to reach what they believed was an extraterrestrial spacecraft following Comet Hale–Bopp.

Richard Trenton Chase was an American serial killer who murdered six people in the span of a month in Sacramento, California. He earned the nickname “The Vampire of Sacramento” because he drank the blood of his victims and ate their internal organs. He did this as part of a delusion that he needed to prevent Nazis from turning his blood into powder via poison they had planted beneath his soap dish. On May 8, 1979 he was found guilty and sentenced to death, but committed suicide on December 26, 1980 in prison from an overdose of doctor-prescribed antidepressants that he had been stockpiling.
