2023-02-1438 minTacos and TeKILLyaBelle GunnessThe thought of serial killers tends to seem so much more relevant towards the end of the 1970s or later once that phrase was actually coined. However, serial killers have been around much longer, whether we point to famous ones like HH Holmes or Jack the Ripper. Today, we will talk about another serial killer who began their work in the late 1800s and became known as many things, including one of the first Black Widow killers.

He seemed to have disappeared with almost no signs of foul play. However, roughly 3 months later, his body would be found. The scene was gruesome and it didn't take long for this to become a closed case.

2021-07-2840 minTacos and TeKILLyaRabbi Morris AdlerIn February of 1966, terrible events unfolded at the synagogue Sha’arey Zedek in Southfield, Michigan. Although not as widely known of a case, this had a lasting impact on the community and the members of this synagogue. This does heavily focus on issues involving mental illness and is a very heavy case to tell but we felt it was our obligation to tell this story to others.
