Sherri Rasmussen who was killed by her new husband's former girlfriend, Stephanie Lazarus who happened to be a cop. It sticks with me because it went unsolved for decades and because of the interrogation video that was made when detectives finally figured out it was one of their own.
It got worse after the creation of the Internet...and all those crime scene pictures became easily searched and available...
The pictures of the aftermath of the Black Dahlia case....the ED Gein pictures of the hung up bodies and how he used the body parts....all those torture/murder videos of the Mexican cartels.
My morbid curiosity has gotten the worse of me...I love bloody horror movies...but is reasurring
that all that is art...I prefer my gore to be fake.
I'm sincerely trying to stop frequenting those Reddit subreddits and other gore sites. I've become desensitized and indifferent to watching those things. It all started with Rotte.com 1n 1996 fpr me,when I first got internet access.
I have lived in Phoenix since 1972 so there are three murders that immediately come to mind.
1976 - Don Bolles, investigative reporter. Murdered by car bomb in Phoenix.
1978 - Bob Crane, star of the TV show Hogan's Heros. Murdered in Scottsdale.
1991 - Patricia Willoughby, a Mesa resident murdered in Rocky Point.
All three are convoluted real life murder mysteries that you can look up on the internet if you want to read about them.
My favorite historical murders were the 1892 axe murders of Andrew and Abby Borden in Fall River Massachusetts. Daughter Lizzie, prime suspect, was acquitted.
Well, that might.......but not for the reasons said.
To the thread subject? All of them, I suppose, but that was my life. Mom would call such attention to that as mind pollution......but she understood it was necessary in my line of work.
My shelves are still loaded with real crime paper backs. Some, were required reading like Green River while others were support to that like Dahlmer and maybe Bundy. Others, though, were just to build the data base in my head to be able to process information. Then one was a favor to a friend whose family was described in the book and I read the book to report back to her how they were depicted. Need to get rid of those books.....but still have my Burgess and Hazelwood and Geberth on investigation.
This is one of the reasons why I don't watch American crime TV because often, they pull their episodes from a real life case and often, I will recognize that case.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was about some publication series.

Ann Rule's book ( and later the televison movie with a mesmerizing Farrah Fawcett ) Small Sacrifices.
Diane Downs shot her three beautiful children because her new boyfriend did not want kids . The testimony
by her surviving daughter is heartbreaking.

The aftermath of Adam Walsh turned us into a country of informers. Right or wrong, we became a country of watching each other, telling on each other, right or wrong.
The Black Dahlia was pretty gruesome, so it sticks in my mind. But, you know, I could have made a list, because gruesome things are common now.
