Dunnellon, FL – She took him in four years ago so he wouldn’t have to face the hell that is the foster care system. She loved him, cared for him, put a roof over his head, and fed him. Now, 66-year-old Doris Babcock is dead – the young boy she took under her wing, 19-year-old Zachary Snyder, stands accused of murdering her. Damn. I think a nice ‘Thank You’ card would have been sufficient. Doris’s husband, a long-distance truck driver, called police on SaturdaySaturday reviews and requested a well-being check on his wife when he was unable to get in contact with her. When authorities arrived at the home, they came in contact with Zachary – who, the husband told them, was not supposed to be there. The couple had asked him to leave the home a few weeks earlier after they discovered he had been stealing from them. Zachary, who appeared to have cuts on his hands and Doris’s debit and credit cards in his pockets, told officers that Doris wasn’t home. At that point, Zachary was arrested and charged with theft and probation violation. They later discovered the gruesome truth about Doris’s whereabouts. [Read more...]

MONT VERNON, New Hampshire – Residents of the small, hilly town of Mont Vernon are in a state of shock after four teens entered a home to rob it, and attacked a 41-year-old mother and her 11-year-old daughter. Using a machete and a knife, Kimberly Cates was attacked while she lay in her bed and killed by multiple sharp injuries to the head, torso, left arm, and left leg. Her daughter survived the attack although she suffered severe stabbing injuries and spent hours in surgery. The attack was a completely random one, Cate’s home chosen simply because it was isolated. “They picked the house at random because it was in an isolated area,” prosecutor N. William Delker said today during the teens’ arraignments in Milford District Court. “Before they entered the home, all four defendants were aware that the intent was to kill the occupants.” [Read more...]

Stuart, FL - While partying with friends SaturdaySaturday reviews evening, Cassandra Lauderdale took a break from the festivities to bathe her dog, a Catahoula named Dolly. Maybe Cassandra was scrubbin’ the pup’s nether-regions too hard, or maybe Dolly just thought her human was a total bitch, but, for whatever reason, Dolly allegedly turned around and nipped at Cassandra. Chances are, the human bitch had been cruel to the canine bitch on a fairly regular basis. Anyway, Cassandra stewed and seethed over that nip for the next 24 hours. The next night, Cassandra exacted her revenge. Partying again, with several guests in attendance, Cassandra reportedly stabbed that bitch to death. [Read more...]

Dallas, TX – Most of us have been through it.  The end of a serious relationship or marriage.  You know, things didn’t work out and its time to cut your losses and split.  Some of us don’t part ways on good terms.  You know how it can be, your every waking minute is consumed with thoughts of revenge, plotting and scheming on how you can make them pay.  Wondering which cables belong to the brakes and exactly how much damage a brick to the back of the skull will actually cause.  Pondering exactly how tamper proof those pesky tamper proof seals are, and googling their drive from home to work every day.  You’ll show him that you don’t take these things lightly.  Besides, his taste in music and movies suck and he was lucky you ever gave him the time of day… Wait, what was I talking about?  Oh yeah, bad break-ups and thoughts of revenge.  Point is, we never do it.  As much as we want them to hurt, we once loved them and those pesky good memories always get in the way. Right?  Well, not for every one.  When Gary Green found out that his wife, Lovetta Armstead was seeking  divorce, he decided everyone had to die, including her innocent children. [Read more...]

Westminster, CA – “Hi. I just stabbed my daughters and myself.” Those were the words spoken by 38-year-old Thuy Le, very calmly I might add, after getting all stabby on her two kiddos Wednesday morning. “It’s all bloody,” she said. The 911 dispatcher, a little taken aback by Le’s somewhat relaxed demeanor, asked Le why she was so calm. I guess that usually, after going completely off the deep end and poking at your spawn with sharp pointy things, most people are a little more freaked out. Le replied, somewhat snottily, “What? Oh my god. Are you coming?” Yep. They were coming. When police arrived on the scene, they found Le clutching her bloody 3-year-old daughter. Worse, they found Le’s other daughter, just 5-years-old, unconscious, covered in blood, and suffering a stab wound to the chest.  [Read more...]

Holly Township, MI – We’ve heard it said here on the Dreamin’ Demon time and time again, “The only true cure for a pedophile is death.” Well, Dennis McCarthy has been cured. The world doesn’t have to worry about the pervy fucker ever laying his filthy hands on another child – someone wasn’t pleased with the fact that McCarthy was roaming free and got all stabby on his ass, er, I mean neck. A mere week after McCarthy was released from prison, where he had just completed a one year sentence for sexually assaulting his 4-year-old grandson. Authorities seem to think that this wasn’t a random attack and that he may have known his attacker. No shit? You don’t say. I wonder what led them to that conclusion? McCarthy’s wife told officers that she heard some strange noises at about 4:00 SundaySunday reviews morning and went downstairs to investigate and check the locks on the doors. At about that time, an intruder busted through the back door. When McCarthy came downstairs to see what all the ruckus was about, the intruder walked past McCarthy’s wife, right up to McCarthy, stabbed him in the neck, and left the home. Done and done. Dennis McCarthy, 64, died later that day. [Read more...]

Annville, PA – The couple had been out all day shopping at the local big box retailer and were eager to get back to the trailer. They had just picked up a box of fried chicken and Larry Coletti, 51, was hungry. But tragically so was FidoFido reviews, which set off a grisly chain of events leading to Larry’s death. Apparently Pamela Poorman, 55, was going to feed poochy before feeding the man of the house and that pissed Larry off. Pamela later confided in police that she had been being abused for some time, so it’s not a leap here to imagine that maybe Larry had his panties a little bit in a wad about the pecking order thing. He was probably all up in her face  yelling and maybe acting like he wanted to serve her an open faced knuckle sammich instead of chicken. They began to fight. Pamela thought of a good way to end it: she picks up a big RamboRambo IV reviews style survival knife and threatens him with it. Apparently that didn’t work so she stabbed him in the ass a couple times. He died later that night due to complications from blood loss. Pamela called the cops on herself and was whisked off to jail, no bond. I wonder if she finally fed the dog before the police arrived? [Read more...]

Once he was at the apartment, Santana argued with Diver even more and told her “she was going to abort the baby one way or the other.” [Read more...]

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Crimes of passion are often referred to as temporary insanity. I sure even people with a sweet disposition reach a snapping point and react severely when the heat of the moment reaches its pique. And so it’s always interesting to see how crimes of passion play out in court:  How they’re defended and how they’re prosecuted. Not knowing if this next case will use this as part of its defense, I think it’s safe to say maybe it should be. Add this and the fact the perpetrator is a 13 year-old girl from Wisconsin, where state law dictates that children over the age of ten, charged with first or second-degree homicide, must be charged in adult court.

MAITLAND, Florida. – 60-year-old Diana May called 911 on Monday to report that her 18-year-old son had gone psychotic and had just stabbed her in the arm with a butter knife.
