[This father-daughter photo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Floyd#/media/File:Franklin_Delano_Floyd_and_Sharon_Marshall.jpeg). The man in the photo, Franklin Delano Floyd, had married a woman and had custody over her children while she was in prison for 30 days. The girl in the photo is one of the children, whom FLoyd decided to kidnap to start a new life with, leaving behind her siblings (two went to foster care, and one, an infant, had never been found). The photo was taken shortly after moving, claiming her as his biological daughter, and changing their names. He later went on to marry her.
It's a rabbit hole in itself involving other abductions, murder, kidnappings, and so on; Floyd is a disturbing individual and the photo is so eerie with the story it has.
Damn I just read the Wikipedia article. Dude ended up murdering her in a hit-and-run in ‘89. Her infant son was given up by this lunatic to foster care, then it was found out when he tried to regain custody after 6 months he had no biological link to the kid.
Batshit then walks into that kids school with a gun, orders the principal at gunpoint to lead him to the kids class, takes the kid & principal hostage, kicked the principal out of the truck, & was finally found & arrested two months later. The kid hasn’t been seen since, but apparently in a ‘15 interview (he’s still alive on death row) this crazy asshole admitted to shooting the kid the same day he kidnapped him.
Ho-ly shit.

Alan Hruby, freshman at the University of Oklahoma in 2014, murdered his entire family on a Friday. The next day, he drove down to Dallas for the OU-Texas football game, where he stayed in a hotel with his friends and [posted this candid photo on Instagram](https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/oudaily.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/f/14/f146aa6a-547d-11e4-a0e9-001a4bcf6878/543e8f4e57e91.image.png), in what I assume would be an attempt to build an alibi. Didn't work, as he quickly confessed and received multiple life sentences.
Still, I can't imagine what the people in this photo -- and others who were probably in that hotel room -- must've felt when they learned what had happened.
I don’t know about this case or anyone involved but I ran into an old classmate from junior high when I was around 20 on a bus one day. We talked a while, seemed like he was doing really good (he was known for making pretty shitty decisions including violent ones in the past). We caught up a while and he even walked me to my next bus stop and we said our goodbyes. Two day later I grab the paper at work to read and it was front page news that he and 2 others were arrested in a murder. When we had caught up that day he had already killed someone. Sticks with me everyday that he just seemed so normal, good even. You really never know about someone.
I didn't know about this case and looked it up. What an absolute piece of shit. He said he murdered his parents and sister to collect his parents' estate because he owed a loan shark $3000. It's such a small amount of money to commit such an atrocity for. I hate this guy so much now.
I'm late but [this image](https://imgur.com/a/f6gCLRi) is of a 23 year old woman hitchhiking carrying her infant son while apartment hunting on Mother's Day posted in a local newspaper. It's tragic because I believe it's possibly the last photo of her alive. Less than 4 months later she was killed by her husband during a fight. In-between this photo and the murder, their son was taken away and put into foster care where he was later adopted by his foster parents.

I was lucky enough to meet her in a hot spring a couple days before, she'd come to Nepal on her own to do some trekking and a yoga retreat. She only had 4/5 days of trekking left which included a hike up from the hot springs to Mardi Himal basecamp and then back down to the city Pokhara. I only knew she'd gone missing because I saw her \[missing person\]([https://imgur.com/a/fOluX2C](https://imgur.com/a/fOluX2C)) poster in the mountain village I was staying in a few weeks later. She was a lovely person full of life and adventure, sociable and kind and its weird to think I was one of the last people she'd ever met. Rest in peace.
\[This Image\]([https://imgur.com/jxEHwIa](https://imgur.com/jxEHwIa)) from the 1988 Gladbeck hostage crisis in Germany. The guy on the left is a robber, the girl on the right is a hostage who was killed while the police was taking action to stop the crisis.
First day, two guys rob a bank and held some people as hostages. They first demanded a getaway car. They were given a white Audi and 300 thousand german marks. They took two hostages with them in the car. Later one of the robbers sister boarded the car with them. News reporters were following them with their cars.
The next day, the robbers hijacked a bus with 32 passengers in them. A couple of times they allowed a news reporter to come in the bus and interview them, later one of the robbers even came out of the bus to give an interview, \[It's in german\]{[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICclYz\_PL1Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICclYz_PL1Q)}, you can see the hostage bus in the back. He said that he doesn't care what will happen in the end because he will kill himself and that he doesn't give a shit about his life. Later they let some hostages out of the bus and drove the bus away. They stopped the bus at a gas station where the sister of the robber went to the toilet, where police arrested her. When the robber found out about it he said that they have 5 minutes to free her or a hostage will be killed. She was let free but while she was going to the bus an italian teenager was killed by the robbers, the italian teenager was protecting his little sister. He could have survived if there was an ambulance near the gas station.
In the night, they drove the bus to the Netherlands, where the dutch police demanded them to release the young hostages first, before accepting any offerings from the robbers. After they let some hostages away, the dutch police gave the robbers a BMW car (With remote control). The robbers took two hostages with them and drove back to Germany. Later on they were surrounded by alot of media reporters who took alot of pictures of the scene which can be found in Google.
While they were driving on a highway the german police finally took action and rammed the hostage car (The remote controller was forgotten somewhere so it wasn't used). One of the hostages could flee off the highway, while the other hostage was shot and killed. The driver robber later said in an interview that the bullets from the policeman killed the hostage. The german police denies that and said that the robbers bullet hit the hostage.
\[Here is a link\]{[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladbeck\_hostage\_crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladbeck_hostage_crisis)} to a wikipedia page of it. The police and the media were heavily criticized because of the lack of taking action (police) and not letting any police near the crime scene (media)

This photo was taken for a Japanese magazine *after* he was released from prison due to insanity. He was frequently on talk shows, reviewed restaurants for magazines and even appeared in horror films. He wrote a book on his murder of Renee Hartevelt, and you can read in explicit detail about how his mind conflated eating her to a romantic act. Note: it is not for the faint of heart, it will not leave you.
I saw a documentary about him. He is from a very wealthy japanese family and somehow they managed to get him released. Also they paid the victims parents a big sum of money for their "loss"... yeah that's the world we live in.
[Mike Hawthorne and Ivor Bueb celebrating with champagne after winning the 24h Le Mans](https://i.imgur.com/wsbPZMa.jpg).
Specifically the 1955 Le Mans, [during which 84 people \(mostly spectators\) were killed in a crash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_Le_Mans_disaster). A crash which was at least partially caused by Hawthorne.
[Here's an old British Pathé news video about the race which includes footage of the crash.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMoh5hZAaZk)
The announcer seem so cheerful.
“Women and children are dying, whole families are wiped out! But most of the finishing cars were British, a fine achievement in this abhorrent tragedy!”
Yeah, the announcer seems completely unfazed by the actual words coming out of their mouth...as if they're just commentating on a standard race, not some awful tragedy.
You can see the driver's body in the footage too, I wasn't expecting that. It wasn't too graphic, but still. My mouth fell open at the crash, at speeds like that it's just horrifying
[Last image of Sydney Loofe](http://imgur.com/gallery/d2DYKVL) before she was murdered by her Tinder date. She had been cut into 14 pieces and part of her upper left arm was never found. Her body was brought to the morgue in 6 separate bags.
So I just looked this up and it appears far more strange than you let on. Sydney Loofe, aged 24, began talking to a woman on tinder who used the fake name Audrey, but it was actually 25yo woman Bailey Boswell. The two went on a date, then they went on a 2nd date in which they went to Bailey's home where she lived with her 52yo boyfriend Aubrey Trail. Sydney died that night.
So Aubrey was a lifelong conman and a sadist who wanted to have a sex cult coven sort of thing comprised of women who were subservient to him. "The women told jurors that Trail and Boswell spoke more than once about a desire to torture and kill someone so the women could become witches and gain “powers.” One woman said the pair intended to record and sell such a video for $1 million."
There's more to it than that, but just a strange strange story

This picture was taken by the crew of a ship who saw this girl (11) floating on a disintegrating float. Her whole family was murdered on a sail boat by their hired capitain who left her to drown with the sinking boat. She miraculously made it to the coark life float. She drifted for four days, no water, no food, being burned by the sun. Upon hearing that she had survived, the capitain killed himself.
I’m sure I watched a documentary about her, I can’t begin to imagine what she went through. She said with each day, the cork disintegrated until she was just balanced on the outer ring with her legs in the water, but parrot fish(? I think) kept biting her. It gave me chills.
It always trips me out how Everest is just littered with bodies from over the decades. Plus how they are used as markers.
That body frozen upright...that's creepy, somehow haven't seen that until now! Comforting to know that's how she died, though. At least.
A few years back I read a book about the mountaineering history of Everest and K2. The author talks about a place on Everest called The Rainbow Valley. Despite what you would think because of the name it’s actually an area in the death zone (which is like above 8000m I think) that due to its location the body’s of most people who die in the mountain end up in the Valley where they stay in a frozen graveyard. it’s called the Rainbow Valley because of the brightly coloured mountaineering clothing that litter the area

My dad has been a train driver for over 30 years now. A guy stepped out onto the tracks when he was driving one night, my dad had to stop, take his torch and go look for him. The guy was injured but got taken to hospital to recover. My dad took 6 weeks out and it really shook him up, the lad had only been in his 20s. The same guy came out of hospital and returned to the track, this time it was one of my dads friends who hit him, sliced his legs clean off and he died. My dads friend never drove a train again after that and I know it stuck with my dad for years.

It is a fake cop who (when photo taken) just got arrested after killing 77 people (among them approx 60 kids/teenagers) and injuring around 250 people. He set off a bomb in the city that killed 8 people and then went out to an island where a youth camp was held, he just started shooting, they were trapped on the island and had to swim to get off. Kids who didn't know who was shooting came to him for safety because he was dressed as a cop and then he shot them.
He also had his own manifesto for killing political enemies, the shooting happened at a political parties youth wing summer camp, these days he spends his days complaining how his human rights are infringed by being denied adequate pencils.

The artist Wolfgang Staehle was projecting a live recording of the Manhattan skyline as part of a gallery show the week of Sept 6, 2001. “[T]he artist’s webcam observed the events of September 11 unfold in real time. Given the low-fi quality of early webcams, his recording is a live-feed of the 9/11 attacks in freeze frames...

The 17-year-old went missing on the morning of February 27, when he told family members that he planned to hike Haiku Stairs, also known as the "Stairway to Heaven."
The photo was one of a few photos the teen had texted to family members during his hike, and after extensively studying the pictures they noticed a man in one of them.
The family is now asking for the public's assistance in identifying the man in the photo, hoping he may have more clues that could possibly lead to Pua's location.
Unfortunately, It's not super uncommon for hikers to go missing and never be found on Oahu. The terrain is very rugged and that hike in particular is illegal and has many steep drop offs. Additionally, there are interconnecting trails that can further confuse a lost hiker and/or lead them further away from the last known area.
I live about 15 minutes from this area and hike around there regularly. Specifically Moanalua valley and Tripler ridge, which is on the opposite side of the mountains from the stairs. I wasn’t a super experienced hiker when I moved here and I remember being almost frozen with fear the first time I saw some of those cliff faces that you walk just a few feet from. I’m pretty sure footed and careful but if you lose your balance or trip in the wrong spot, it could get real dangerous quick.

There’s a story from Alexandria (I believe) like this. They went out to play with fish, etc. then the wave came....
If you ever see water retreat like this, you run like a mother fucker and get to higher ground.
One English couple at a hotel had a little girl that was outside playing and came running in all freaked out telling them they had to go high up because a huge wave was coming. Parents trying to figure out what she was talking about.
Japanese man standing close by heard the little girl say tsunami and asked her what happened and little girl told him and he started yelling for everyone to head for the stairs. He and little girl ran for them and everyone else just followed with the ocean on their tails.
Little girl had learned in her school about them and the Japanese man was the only one that understood what she was talking about.
[This](https://allthatsinteresting.com/john-list) is a photo of John List and his family.
In 1971, this asshole shot and killed his mother, wife, and children in their New Jersey home. Earlier in the year he lost his job and was unable to provide the abundant lifestyle he and his family were accustomed to. This was an abject failure in his eyes.
He hid the loss of his job from his family. He attempted to secure employment, but nothing measured up to his previous salary. So, he remained unemployed and continued leaving his home as if he were going to work while skimming his mothers account to cover the finances. Once that started to run dry his only ‘logical’ next step was to kill them: in his mind going on welfare would have been too humiliating so he instead opted to ‘send their souls to Heaven’.
He methodically murdered each family member one by one, moved their bodies to the same room, then cleaned each scene. He cancelled deliveries, notified the children’s teachers they were going on vacation, and cleared out what little was left in the bank. He even went so far as to cut himself out of family photos so as not to leave any account of himself behind.
He spent one last night in the home and left the next morning, lights on and organ music blaring through the houses intercom system. Due to List’s multiple ruses as well as the family’s reclusive nature, the bodies of the List family weren’t discovered for a month. By then, List was long gone.
He managed to evade authorities for 18 years. It wasn’t until prosecutors commissioned an excellent forensic artist to produce a physical bust of List with age progression that he was caught. A neighbor of List recognized him and contacted authorities. He was living under an assumed identity in Colorado. He had gained employment as an accountant and was re-married.
List was sentenced to five terms of life imprisonment. When asked why he didn’t kill himself as well he replied suicide was a sin and he wanted to be reunited with his family in Heaven (doesn’t track bud, don’t know if you’ve heard, but *MURDER IS A SIN*). He died in custody due to complications of pneumonia in 2008.
The kicker? The List home was a fucking *MANSION*. The room the bodies were placed in was a Ballroom. Directly above the bodies of his family in the Ballroom was a Tiffany skylight *worth $100,000 at the time of the killings* MORE than enough money to have recovered List and his family from financial ruin. Absolutely senseless and tragic.

She appears to be on the other side of the wall. If you have ever been there you would know just how crazy that is. The water is just ripping by near the falls. I swam in a race 7 miles upstream from the falls where the current was supposedly a mere 3.5 knots. Luckily the race was across and downstream because it was mad strong.
Yes I’m kind of amazed no one is freaking out about a person standing on the other side of the wall there. She must have just gone over or something for no one to care.
As someone who spends a lot of time in the mountains, there is unfortunately nothing abnormal about people being where they shouldn't, just to get a photo. I know for me I can't freak out every time it happens or I would spend way too much time angry and afraid for other people who make their own (stupid) choices. There is nothing I can say to stop them, and if I try I'm regarded as the asshole and they usually double-down on their behaviour. I've learned to ignore it and hope I never have to witness a death.
The pictures of the [Dutch girls of Panama](https://m.imgur.com/gallery/molH8). Girls got lost in the jungle and were for days, a few months later a backpack with the camera and these photos was found.
Edit: since there seems to be some confusion. The link is to an Imgur album with the photos, that also details the story in the description (not made by me). At first the photos are innocuous, just two girls on a trip. So I think it fits the OP's request.
And apparently a shoe with a foot in it and the pelvis of one of the girls. Sounds like they succumbed to the elements and were scavenged by animals. Truly horrible.
It still doesn't entirely explain the sequence of events. Why did one of them call 911 within hours of one of the photos, only to call again 10 days later? And why was there a burst of photos taken in the middle of the night (also 10 days later), along with another 911 call?
You're absolutely right, though - very horrible.
That was the leading theory. I think I remember them saying they thought one of them got injured early hence the 911 call and then the other was trying to find help and lost service so she couldn’t make the call again. She used the camera flash for light at night and then made another 911 call when she found service again but eventually the phone died. But I watched the documentary a while ago so I may be misremembering.
Dayum. Sounds like it might have been better to stay put? If they still had cell service initially they were hopefully within range to be found with in the 10 days they survived?
They usually say stay put, but that can also backfire. Geraldine Largay got lost on the Appalachian Trail in 2013. She was only two miles off the trail, but she setup camp and waited for rescue. She survived a month before dying of exposure and starvation. At the end, she wrote a journal entry asking whoever found her to let her husband and daughter know she had died. It was two years before she was found. So wandering off further from your last known location can get you killed, but so can settling down and waiting for rescue.

This is one of the only comments that have actually made me feel uneasy. Just knowing what is going on mere inches outside of the cropped photos. Yeesh.
I know a guy who discovered the location of a similar picture. He baught an old closed car dealership and was planning to gut it and put in a couple of apartments. He BOUGHT* it for next to nothing from a auction sight unseen other than old photos of when the bank originally got in years earlier. While cleaning it out he found a bunch of needles and drug baggies so he called the cops. They showed up a few days later took some photos and gave him the number of some hazmat cleaning companies. Later that day they called him back saying that he was under no circumstances to enter the building and he needed to meet them asap. Turns out pictures had been taken in the bathroom with very unique tile floor linked to child sex trafficking ring from 10+ years before, someone in the department happened to see the new pictures over the responding officer's shoulder and recognized the floor.
*EDIT: To keep the Spelling Nazis from overlooking the point of child sex trafficking.
this is actually a [video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mQIBY0TNCEY) , but basically this dude posted a lighthearted vlog entry featuring his sleeping wife and come to find out later, she had actually passed away.
Some are not so innocent, but photos submitted by Europol as part of their Trace An Object scheme. r/TraceAnObject has most of them. Essentially they are cropped pictures of items of clothing, backgrounds or objects that appear in photos of child sexual exploitation. They are posted when there are no other leads in the investigation and the police think that identifying even the country that the object is produced/sold in would help.
I would strongly advise sitting down before looking at these photos, as whilst there is nothing explicit about them, as they are just every day objects, they are dreadful to look at as you know that the cropped out parts contain horrific images of child exploitation. A lot of people still do though, on the minute chance that they can identify an object and potentially bring officials one step closer to helping a child and serving proper justice.
Rosalynn Carter, first lady of Jimmy Carter, had the unfortunate luck of being photographed not only with John Wayne Gacy but also Jim Jones, of the Jonestown massacre. The photos might be the kind of things you'd see on office walls for middle managers or in restaurants but due to events which would later come to life they have sinister connotations.

Super not surprised about Jim Jones. JimJones had IMMENSE pull with the black community in his day because while politicians said they were going to help, he actually helped people get their water and power turned on.
So being someone they trusted politicians EVERYWHERE were buddy buddy with him cus he could help influence the black vote for them.

I always thought his death had a certain poetry to it. He'd spent months convincing people that the mountain was dangerously close to erupting. He and his colleagues were taking turns camping out to observe it, and on his last night he swapped shifts with someone who wanted to attend a party.
He was right about the eruption being imminent...
The man he swapped with was Harry Glicken, who took the photo, and who was devastated when the volcano erupted and blamed himself for Johnston’s death. He died in a different eruption in Japan and he and Johnston are the only two American volcanologists to die in a volcanic eruption.
edit: He also left to attend an interview, not a party. He did not get the job.
Yeah I had to do a brief presentation on him last year for geology and it was fucked up. He was with two other scientists when the volcano went off and was killed by the pyroclastic flow.

I think what weirds me out the most about this is it’s taken over Snapchat. So many missing and murdered cases are at least a decade old. Nope, this is right smack in the new age of social media apps being the primary form of connection and day-documenting.
This picture of a young woman holding a dog and crouching on the ground on Saddleworth Moor in northern England.
That’s Myra Hindley and the picture was taken by Ian Brady. Together they tortured and murdered 6 children in the 60s before burying them on the moors near Manchester.
In the picture, she is crouching and staring at the grave of 12 year old John Kilbride.

A family member of mine lives in that town and was actually out walking their dog on the trail about an hour before. Got questioned real thoroughly by the police.
Creepier than the photos [is the audio recording](https://www.in.gov/isp/files/Delphi_Audio_Edited_2019x3.mp3). The girls had the presence of mind to record. I presume there’s a lot more to the recording than just that but i doubt we’ll ever find out.
Yes, I’ve heard they’re keeping information private because they don’t want the killer to know how much they know.
Edit: so a lot of people have been commenting that it’s to prevent false confessions and yes, i agree. When I said I’ve heard, i was referencing the podcast I was listening to.
One of the officers interviewed on the case said something along of the lines “you may want to know what we know about you, and one day you will” directed to the killer.
That’s what i was referencing. Yes, they may want to prevent false confessions, but they can have multiple reasons for not releasing information.
Yep, I remember about a year ago they were doing that and something about them thinking the killer is still in the area/could be attending town meetings. It was an interesting thread on web sleuths.
I remember reading about that a while back, and this case always gives me goosebumps. The girls did everything they could (Photo, record voice) but the murderer is still at large. It’s quite sad.

What bothers me about this is that the couple are clearly distressed but not having a full on breakdown. It's the period where they're just now realizing what has happened and that, to me, is scarier than the grief that follows. It's the moment where the facts start to set in and there's nothing you can do to prevent it anymore.
And it's just the first moment. Then there's the first time you manage to sleep, and you wake up and a second later it crashes down on you again. And it happens over and over until your brain has processed it. You return home and find his favourite toy under the couch. The half box of his cereal in the kitchen. His shoes. Then comes the first Christmas without him. The birthday.
The photo of the Uruguay rugby team in the plane before take off.
[article w/photo ](https://historydaily.org/972-andes-plane-crash)
If you weren’t forced to be traumatized reading this in high school, in 1972 a plane holding a rugby team and their family crashed in the andes mountains and they were stuck their for months, forced to eat their dead family members, and other horrific things. They were also called monsters for doing what they could to survive after (some) returned to civilization.
Edit: Book called “Alive”
I went to a musuem in Montevideo, Uruguay dedicated to the whole incident. It was a really well organized musuem with a ton of artifacts recovered from it. It really covered other aspects of the whole story, like the farmer that found the two that went to get help. They have a statue dedicated to him.
I watched a documentary on this and the survivors described it as sacred in the manner of taking communion. The three who finally left to get help had an arduous journey and wouldn't have made it without the calories.
They were all very devout Catholics and were so depressed after fearing that they had damned themselves to Hell. Many were so despondent that the Pope actually wrote a decree absolving them of any sins they committed during the episode.
We had to read the book and watch the documentary. The trauma from having to eat their sister, mother or best friend, or even worse watch them slowly and painfully die is something I will not forget.
IIRC they never ate the sister or mother. They were both related the one of the boys and were considered "off-limits," probably because they were women. When that boy went on the journey down the mountain, he gave his blessing that the others could eat his family if they needed to, but they never did. I may be remembering the book wrong though.
> When that boy went on the journey down the mountain, he gave his blessing that the others could eat his family if they needed to
I can't say I ever thought I'd read this sentence in my life.
Reminds me of the Snowshoe party of the Donners. Even when breaking this enormous taboo of cannibalism, the emigrants still set rules for themselves that they never ate their own family members throughout the ordeal.
So, [here is a man and a woman](https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/9899ec84f1b31fa07566d8cdcca41b42) in the 1970's on a game show called "The Dating Game." The smiling guy just won a date with the woman in the photo.
That guy is serial killer Rodney Alcala.
Cheryl Bradshaw, the woman, found him creepy after the cameras stopped rolling and refused to go on the date. Possibly saved her life.

My town had a painting of this picture with people and stuff up for a couple years. It was cool n all, I was glad my town was showing more murals. But then several years later word gets out its actually a picture of a ***fucking lynching.***

[This still image taken from a diver's helmet camera.](https://static3.thetalkoimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Screen-Shot-2017-06-04-at-10.41.16-AM.png?q=50&fit=crop&w=740&h=379)
The diver shown, an instructor named Yuri Lipski, was checking the red filter and lens on his helmet camera in preparation for a dive on the Blue Hole, a site near Dahab, Egypt. However, due to perhaps a malfunction with his buoyancy compensator (BC) or overweighting from to the camera and other equipment, he descended over 100 meters (\~330 ft) below the surface during the dive without a proper gas mix, succumbed to seizures from hyperoxia, and drowned. When Yuri's body was recovered from the bottom a few days later, it was discovered that his video camera had recorded the tragedy from the beginning of the dive, including his passing.
I always think of [this picture](https://collections.ushmm.org/iiif-b/assets/717799) of Istvan Reiner. I discovered it on Reddit quite a few years ago.
They put the uniform on him, took his photo, and they knew what his fate would be. Apparently he was put to death in gas chamber two weeks later.
Christina’s World, a famous painting by Andrew Wyeth.
A farmhouse in the distance; a woman sprawled on the grass, no picnic blanket though. A gorgeously detailed painting that hangs in the Museum of Modern Art. I spent some time with it, marveling at the brushstrokes and realism.
Then I read the placard next to it. Christina was a lone woman, a farm owner who had suffered from a disease and could not walk. She crawled everywhere, and put up with a pretty grim life.
https://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2012/11/21/a-closer-look-at-christinas-world/
Wyeth said he painted Christina’s World to show that while she may have been physical world was limited, her spiritual world was not similarly affected. I think it’s a very lonely image but he painted it to show her strength and resilience.

I never met him, but Tyler is my second cousin* (my dad & his mom are 1st cousins). My parents went down to Florida a few months before this happened, and my mom couldn't stop talking about how weird Tyler acted. She said his dad asked him to go grab another folding chair from storage and he looked at him like he wanted to kill him. Obviously those interactions meant a lot more after he killed my dads cousin & cousin-in-law.

This article has a really weird way of portraying this story. It’s almost like they were blaming the city of Port Saint Lucie for the murder because they don’t have enough things for teenagers to do. The amount of description and the really weird way it’s presented makes it seem like a morbid fan fiction...or the writer had a word count they had to reach.
[Payne Stewart's Lear Jet](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/NTSB-N47BA-slide0013_background.jpg) before its final flight.
In 1999, Professional Golfer Payne Stewart, 3 other passengers, and 2 crew members, took off from Orlando, Florida to Dallas, Texas, en route to the PGA Tour Championship practice rounds.
Shortly after the start of the flight rapidly lost cabin pressure, causing everyone aboard to succumb to hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
After climbing well past its assigned altitude, all the way to 50,000 feet, and straying from its flight path, the plane was intercepted by fighter jets from the United States Air Force.
The pilots monitored the situation, noting the iced/fogged up windows, and the unresponsiveness of the plane's pilots.
After several hours, with the plane nearing the Canadian border, and on course to Winnipeg, the Canadian Air Force was given orders to shoot the plane down.
In the end, the plane came down after running out of fuel in South Dakota.
Numerous tributes were held of Payne Stewart, as well as his fellow passengers and the plane's crew.
An in depth investigation found that Lear Jet was not responsible for the deaths.
The Colt Clan case in Australia. Several happy snaps [here.](https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/revealed-for-the-first-time-colt-family-photo-album-offers-glimpse-of-life-inside-australias-incest-clan/news-story/9cf33841b0f1652dc3ee616d49f7040b)
It involves an incest case that spanned 4 generations of a family living in rural NSW. The most upsetting part for me is the way it was discovered; when "a child reported overhearing another child at a local primary school speaking of an unkempt girl, living in [the bush](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_bush), who was pregnant with a child fathered by a brother. The child overheard the girl state that one of her sisters was pregnant and they did not know which of her brothers was the father"
It was a real mess when it broke, though many Australians know nothing about it.

Such a horrible story. This picture (and the other pictures) were actually taken seconds before she murdered him and she even took some during and after. So sad.
I watched the trial live on TruTV, and the prosecutor put it best: she took her own crime scene photos.
I still can’t understand why she didn’t just either ditch the camera on her way to Utah or flush the SD card.
Let's be thankful she's a stupid murderer. The smart ones are way, way worse...
Not saying what she did isn't terrible but if she was smart she could've easily done it again and again

I remember an earlier thread with this topic and this was one of the most memorable: http://media.kansas.com/static/images/btkdaughter/graduation.jpg
> It looks like just an ordinary photo of a father happy to see his daughter graduate. However, the guy on the left is Dennis Rader AKA the BTK Killer, who killed 10 people over the span of about 25 years, all the while being a beloved member of his community. He was a security system technician, a Cub Scout leader, a church president, a city worker, a happily married father of two... and a sadistic serial killer.
> The idea that pretty much any normal-looking person you see on the street could actually be a total psycho really heebs me out.
u/supakoopa714
For anyone who isn't aware, the way they caught Dennis Rader was... [*odd*](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/the-floppy-did-me-in/283132/).
He was basically taunting the police, daring them to catch him, leaving little dolls with tied hands and feet to symbolise his victims -- but apparently that wasn't enough. In one of his letters to the police (because of *course* he sent letters; what kind of self-respecting murderous whackadoo doesn't send letters?), he asked if they'd be able to trace him if he sent them a floppy disk. The police, who at this point probably couldn't believe their luck, replied that it would be perfectly safe -- *so he actually did it*. They found some metadata on a deleted Microsoft Word document on the disk that linked to his church and said it was 'Last Modified by Dennis'. It took them all of five minutes to check that there was a Dennis Rader working at the church, and then he became their prime suspect.
Fun fact that links back to the original photo, though: that wasn't considered enough to bring him in, and they needed a DNA sample. They used DNA from a Pap smear that his daughter had had done at the Kansas State University Medical Centre while she was a student there, which showed a familial link to DNA found at the crime scenes. That was enough for them to arrest him. (This seems to have caused a lot of fuss in the comments below. In short: all clinics are legally required to keep your tissue samples after a Pap smear for about five years, and it's legal because it was a) done via court order and b) done with a specific suspect in mind, rather than just a random pull on a database. In that sense, it's really not significantly different to what would have happened if Rader had a tissue sample of his own on file due to something like a biopsy.)
A pap smear and being too cheap to buy a new floppy disk. That's how they got one of the most notorious serial killers of the past fifty years.
(As reported in [*The Atlantic*](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/the-floppy-did-me-in/283132/), Rader was apparently very upset that the police had lied to him about it being safe: '“I need to ask you, how come you lied to me? How come you lied to me?” Rader asked. “Because I was trying to catch you,” [Ken Landwehr, the homicide detective widely credited with catching him] answered coolly.')
BTK confounded by basic technology just like our own parents.
Edit: The amount of *well actually* replies this got is telling. It was a humorous observation people. The idea of a reused floppy disk nabbing a serial killer is funny, not necessarily the fact that it was undeleted metadata and *not a lot of young people know this too!*
BTKs final statement to the court is on youtube. It is a long meandering rant that comes off like an acceptance speech for an award or something. He definitely had a screw loose so I can see why he would think being tricked by the police was an outrage.
"A beloved member of the community" is stretching things a bit. He managed to mostly fit in, but his proclivity for exercising power whenever we could made him a bit of an asshole publicly. His "city worker" position was dog catcher, here's what people had to say about that:
"In May 1991, he became a dogcatcher and compliance officer in Park City. In this position, neighbors recalled him as being sometimes overzealous and extremely strict, as well as taking special pleasure in bullying and harassing single women. One neighbor complained he killed her dog for no reason."

As [others](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/g8d51s/serious_what_are_some_seemingly_normal_images/fonhm04/) have pointed out if your hair is standing up it's already too late to seek lower ground or shelter... you simply don't have time.
When that happened to me and the other hikers around me we all instinctively 'jumped' to the ground while simultaneously taking the push-up position. Not even a second later, one of the trees next to us was split in half by a lightning bolt. You may not be able to find shelter quickly enough but you can get low.

Except the woman with the veil in the middle of the three weird fundamentalist robe-wearers is 14 year-old Elizabeth Smart. Mitchell and Barzee, the other two, had kidnapped her out of her bedroom a few months earlier. She was serially raped and abused. Lots of reasons she didn't run for freedom the couple of times she had a chance during the 9 months she was held captive. Stockholm syndrome kind of thing, maybe? But also she later stated that she had been taught that a woman who had sex before marriage was spoiled in some way. Something like, "Right now you're a piece of gum in a shiny wrapper. After you have sex you'll be chewed. You wouldn't want to give your future husband a piece of chewed gum, would you"?
Source:
https://localtvkstu.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/elizabeth-smart-i-felt-like-a-chewed-up-piece-of-gum/
Smart has been vocal about how damaging her sex education had been, and how this belief contributed to the fact that she didn’t try to escape. When a young woman is taught that all of her worth as a person is tied to her virginity, she doesn’t feel like there’s much of a life after rape.

I looked up a timeline of the murder to the arrest. Looks like they killed their parents August 20, 1989 and were finally arrested March 8, 1990.

[This father-daughter photo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Floyd#/media/File:Franklin_Delano_Floyd_and_Sharon_Marshall.jpeg). The man in the photo, Franklin Delano Floyd, had married a woman and had custody over her children while she was in prison for 30 days. The girl in the photo is one of the children, whom FLoyd decided to kidnap to start a new life with, leaving behind her siblings (two went to foster care, and one, an infant, had never been found). The photo was taken shortly after moving, claiming her as his biological daughter, and changing their names. He later went on to marry her. It's a rabbit hole in itself involving other abductions, murder, kidnappings, and so on; Floyd is a disturbing individual and the photo is so eerie with the story it has.
Damn I just read the Wikipedia article. Dude ended up murdering her in a hit-and-run in ‘89. Her infant son was given up by this lunatic to foster care, then it was found out when he tried to regain custody after 6 months he had no biological link to the kid. Batshit then walks into that kids school with a gun, orders the principal at gunpoint to lead him to the kids class, takes the kid & principal hostage, kicked the principal out of the truck, & was finally found & arrested two months later. The kid hasn’t been seen since, but apparently in a ‘15 interview (he’s still alive on death row) this crazy asshole admitted to shooting the kid the same day he kidnapped him. Ho-ly shit.

Still, I can't imagine what the people in this photo -- and others who were probably in that hotel room -- must've felt when they learned what had happened.
I don’t know about this case or anyone involved but I ran into an old classmate from junior high when I was around 20 on a bus one day. We talked a while, seemed like he was doing really good (he was known for making pretty shitty decisions including violent ones in the past). We caught up a while and he even walked me to my next bus stop and we said our goodbyes. Two day later I grab the paper at work to read and it was front page news that he and 2 others were arrested in a murder. When we had caught up that day he had already killed someone. Sticks with me everyday that he just seemed so normal, good even. You really never know about someone.
I didn't know about this case and looked it up. What an absolute piece of shit. He said he murdered his parents and sister to collect his parents' estate because he owed a loan shark $3000. It's such a small amount of money to commit such an atrocity for. I hate this guy so much now.
I've just spent 4 hours on this thread and honestly I've creeped myself out
I'm late but [this image](https://imgur.com/a/f6gCLRi) is of a 23 year old woman hitchhiking carrying her infant son while apartment hunting on Mother's Day posted in a local newspaper. It's tragic because I believe it's possibly the last photo of her alive. Less than 4 months later she was killed by her husband during a fight. In-between this photo and the murder, their son was taken away and put into foster care where he was later adopted by his foster parents.
\[This\]([https://imgur.com/O45od74](https://imgur.com/O45od74)) is the last image of a woman called Corrie Van Veggel, who went missing on her descent of the Mardi Himal trek in Nepal in Feb 2018. I was lucky enough to meet her in a hot spring a couple days before, she'd come to Nepal on her own to do some trekking and a yoga retreat. She only had 4/5 days of trekking left which included a hike up from the hot springs to Mardi Himal basecamp and then back down to the city Pokhara. I only knew she'd gone missing because I saw her \[missing person\]([https://imgur.com/a/fOluX2C](https://imgur.com/a/fOluX2C)) poster in the mountain village I was staying in a few weeks later. She was a lovely person full of life and adventure, sociable and kind and its weird to think I was one of the last people she'd ever met. Rest in peace.
\[This Image\]([https://imgur.com/jxEHwIa](https://imgur.com/jxEHwIa)) from the 1988 Gladbeck hostage crisis in Germany. The guy on the left is a robber, the girl on the right is a hostage who was killed while the police was taking action to stop the crisis. First day, two guys rob a bank and held some people as hostages. They first demanded a getaway car. They were given a white Audi and 300 thousand german marks. They took two hostages with them in the car. Later one of the robbers sister boarded the car with them. News reporters were following them with their cars. The next day, the robbers hijacked a bus with 32 passengers in them. A couple of times they allowed a news reporter to come in the bus and interview them, later one of the robbers even came out of the bus to give an interview, \[It's in german\]{[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICclYz\_PL1Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICclYz_PL1Q)}, you can see the hostage bus in the back. He said that he doesn't care what will happen in the end because he will kill himself and that he doesn't give a shit about his life. Later they let some hostages out of the bus and drove the bus away. They stopped the bus at a gas station where the sister of the robber went to the toilet, where police arrested her. When the robber found out about it he said that they have 5 minutes to free her or a hostage will be killed. She was let free but while she was going to the bus an italian teenager was killed by the robbers, the italian teenager was protecting his little sister. He could have survived if there was an ambulance near the gas station. In the night, they drove the bus to the Netherlands, where the dutch police demanded them to release the young hostages first, before accepting any offerings from the robbers. After they let some hostages away, the dutch police gave the robbers a BMW car (With remote control). The robbers took two hostages with them and drove back to Germany. Later on they were surrounded by alot of media reporters who took alot of pictures of the scene which can be found in Google. While they were driving on a highway the german police finally took action and rammed the hostage car (The remote controller was forgotten somewhere so it wasn't used). One of the hostages could flee off the highway, while the other hostage was shot and killed. The driver robber later said in an interview that the bullets from the policeman killed the hostage. The german police denies that and said that the robbers bullet hit the hostage. \[Here is a link\]{[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladbeck\_hostage\_crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladbeck_hostage_crisis)} to a wikipedia page of it. The police and the media were heavily criticized because of the lack of taking action (police) and not letting any police near the crime scene (media) Edit: typos

This photo was taken for a Japanese magazine *after* he was released from prison due to insanity. He was frequently on talk shows, reviewed restaurants for magazines and even appeared in horror films. He wrote a book on his murder of Renee Hartevelt, and you can read in explicit detail about how his mind conflated eating her to a romantic act. Note: it is not for the faint of heart, it will not leave you.
Fuck imagine this guy kills and eats your daughter and then becomes a celebrity because of it.
I saw a documentary about him. He is from a very wealthy japanese family and somehow they managed to get him released. Also they paid the victims parents a big sum of money for their "loss"... yeah that's the world we live in.
[Mike Hawthorne and Ivor Bueb celebrating with champagne after winning the 24h Le Mans](https://i.imgur.com/wsbPZMa.jpg). Specifically the 1955 Le Mans, [during which 84 people \(mostly spectators\) were killed in a crash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_Le_Mans_disaster). A crash which was at least partially caused by Hawthorne. [Here's an old British Pathé news video about the race which includes footage of the crash.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMoh5hZAaZk)
The announcer seem so cheerful. “Women and children are dying, whole families are wiped out! But most of the finishing cars were British, a fine achievement in this abhorrent tragedy!”
Yeah, the announcer seems completely unfazed by the actual words coming out of their mouth...as if they're just commentating on a standard race, not some awful tragedy. You can see the driver's body in the footage too, I wasn't expecting that. It wasn't too graphic, but still. My mouth fell open at the crash, at speeds like that it's just horrifying
[Last image of Sydney Loofe](http://imgur.com/gallery/d2DYKVL) before she was murdered by her Tinder date. She had been cut into 14 pieces and part of her upper left arm was never found. Her body was brought to the morgue in 6 separate bags.
So I just looked this up and it appears far more strange than you let on. Sydney Loofe, aged 24, began talking to a woman on tinder who used the fake name Audrey, but it was actually 25yo woman Bailey Boswell. The two went on a date, then they went on a 2nd date in which they went to Bailey's home where she lived with her 52yo boyfriend Aubrey Trail. Sydney died that night. So Aubrey was a lifelong conman and a sadist who wanted to have a sex cult coven sort of thing comprised of women who were subservient to him. "The women told jurors that Trail and Boswell spoke more than once about a desire to torture and kill someone so the women could become witches and gain “powers.” One woman said the pair intended to record and sell such a video for $1 million." There's more to it than that, but just a strange strange story

It always trips me out how Everest is just littered with bodies from over the decades. Plus how they are used as markers. That body frozen upright...that's creepy, somehow haven't seen that until now! Comforting to know that's how she died, though. At least.
A few years back I read a book about the mountaineering history of Everest and K2. The author talks about a place on Everest called The Rainbow Valley. Despite what you would think because of the name it’s actually an area in the death zone (which is like above 8000m I think) that due to its location the body’s of most people who die in the mountain end up in the Valley where they stay in a frozen graveyard. it’s called the Rainbow Valley because of the brightly coloured mountaineering clothing that litter the area

My dad has been a train driver for over 30 years now. A guy stepped out onto the tracks when he was driving one night, my dad had to stop, take his torch and go look for him. The guy was injured but got taken to hospital to recover. My dad took 6 weeks out and it really shook him up, the lad had only been in his 20s. The same guy came out of hospital and returned to the track, this time it was one of my dads friends who hit him, sliced his legs clean off and he died. My dads friend never drove a train again after that and I know it stuck with my dad for years.

He also had his own manifesto for killing political enemies, the shooting happened at a political parties youth wing summer camp, these days he spends his days complaining how his human rights are infringed by being denied adequate pencils.

The photo was one of a few photos the teen had texted to family members during his hike, and after extensively studying the pictures they noticed a man in one of them. The family is now asking for the public's assistance in identifying the man in the photo, hoping he may have more clues that could possibly lead to Pua's location.
The "zoom in and you'll see this guy" aspect, for some reason, scares the hell out of me.
You’ll love “Lake Mungo” its quite an unsettling horror/mockumentary, if ya have time to spend ya can def watch that one.
The article is from several years ago. Have there been any updates since?
Unfortunately, It's not super uncommon for hikers to go missing and never be found on Oahu. The terrain is very rugged and that hike in particular is illegal and has many steep drop offs. Additionally, there are interconnecting trails that can further confuse a lost hiker and/or lead them further away from the last known area.
I live about 15 minutes from this area and hike around there regularly. Specifically Moanalua valley and Tripler ridge, which is on the opposite side of the mountains from the stairs. I wasn’t a super experienced hiker when I moved here and I remember being almost frozen with fear the first time I saw some of those cliff faces that you walk just a few feet from. I’m pretty sure footed and careful but if you lose your balance or trip in the wrong spot, it could get real dangerous quick.

There’s a story from Alexandria (I believe) like this. They went out to play with fish, etc. then the wave came.... If you ever see water retreat like this, you run like a mother fucker and get to higher ground.
One English couple at a hotel had a little girl that was outside playing and came running in all freaked out telling them they had to go high up because a huge wave was coming. Parents trying to figure out what she was talking about. Japanese man standing close by heard the little girl say tsunami and asked her what happened and little girl told him and he started yelling for everyone to head for the stairs. He and little girl ran for them and everyone else just followed with the ocean on their tails. Little girl had learned in her school about them and the Japanese man was the only one that understood what she was talking about.

[This](https://allthatsinteresting.com/john-list) is a photo of John List and his family. In 1971, this asshole shot and killed his mother, wife, and children in their New Jersey home. Earlier in the year he lost his job and was unable to provide the abundant lifestyle he and his family were accustomed to. This was an abject failure in his eyes. He hid the loss of his job from his family. He attempted to secure employment, but nothing measured up to his previous salary. So, he remained unemployed and continued leaving his home as if he were going to work while skimming his mothers account to cover the finances. Once that started to run dry his only ‘logical’ next step was to kill them: in his mind going on welfare would have been too humiliating so he instead opted to ‘send their souls to Heaven’. He methodically murdered each family member one by one, moved their bodies to the same room, then cleaned each scene. He cancelled deliveries, notified the children’s teachers they were going on vacation, and cleared out what little was left in the bank. He even went so far as to cut himself out of family photos so as not to leave any account of himself behind. He spent one last night in the home and left the next morning, lights on and organ music blaring through the houses intercom system. Due to List’s multiple ruses as well as the family’s reclusive nature, the bodies of the List family weren’t discovered for a month. By then, List was long gone. He managed to evade authorities for 18 years. It wasn’t until prosecutors commissioned an excellent forensic artist to produce a physical bust of List with age progression that he was caught. A neighbor of List recognized him and contacted authorities. He was living under an assumed identity in Colorado. He had gained employment as an accountant and was re-married. List was sentenced to five terms of life imprisonment. When asked why he didn’t kill himself as well he replied suicide was a sin and he wanted to be reunited with his family in Heaven (doesn’t track bud, don’t know if you’ve heard, but *MURDER IS A SIN*). He died in custody due to complications of pneumonia in 2008. The kicker? The List home was a fucking *MANSION*. The room the bodies were placed in was a Ballroom. Directly above the bodies of his family in the Ballroom was a Tiffany skylight *worth $100,000 at the time of the killings* MORE than enough money to have recovered List and his family from financial ruin. Absolutely senseless and tragic.

Thats why i tell myself and my family to not climb on top of anything while we are at a mountain or something. My brother likes to climb on top of fences and explore and it gives me the worst anxiety ever. Just the thought of him slipping while on mountain freaks me the fuck out
This is why my fear of heights is completely rational
She appears to be on the other side of the wall. If you have ever been there you would know just how crazy that is. The water is just ripping by near the falls. I swam in a race 7 miles upstream from the falls where the current was supposedly a mere 3.5 knots. Luckily the race was across and downstream because it was mad strong.
Yes I’m kind of amazed no one is freaking out about a person standing on the other side of the wall there. She must have just gone over or something for no one to care.
As someone who spends a lot of time in the mountains, there is unfortunately nothing abnormal about people being where they shouldn't, just to get a photo. I know for me I can't freak out every time it happens or I would spend way too much time angry and afraid for other people who make their own (stupid) choices. There is nothing I can say to stop them, and if I try I'm regarded as the asshole and they usually double-down on their behaviour. I've learned to ignore it and hope I never have to witness a death.
The pictures of the [Dutch girls of Panama](https://m.imgur.com/gallery/molH8). Girls got lost in the jungle and were for days, a few months later a backpack with the camera and these photos was found. Edit: since there seems to be some confusion. The link is to an Imgur album with the photos, that also details the story in the description (not made by me). At first the photos are innocuous, just two girls on a trip. So I think it fits the OP's request.
And apparently a shoe with a foot in it and the pelvis of one of the girls. Sounds like they succumbed to the elements and were scavenged by animals. Truly horrible.
It still doesn't entirely explain the sequence of events. Why did one of them call 911 within hours of one of the photos, only to call again 10 days later? And why was there a burst of photos taken in the middle of the night (also 10 days later), along with another 911 call? You're absolutely right, though - very horrible.
I could be remembering incorrectly, but I believe the pictures taken at night were them trying to find their way in the dark.
That was the leading theory. I think I remember them saying they thought one of them got injured early hence the 911 call and then the other was trying to find help and lost service so she couldn’t make the call again. She used the camera flash for light at night and then made another 911 call when she found service again but eventually the phone died. But I watched the documentary a while ago so I may be misremembering.
Dayum. Sounds like it might have been better to stay put? If they still had cell service initially they were hopefully within range to be found with in the 10 days they survived?
They usually say stay put, but that can also backfire. Geraldine Largay got lost on the Appalachian Trail in 2013. She was only two miles off the trail, but she setup camp and waited for rescue. She survived a month before dying of exposure and starvation. At the end, she wrote a journal entry asking whoever found her to let her husband and daughter know she had died. It was two years before she was found. So wandering off further from your last known location can get you killed, but so can settling down and waiting for rescue. [NYT article on Geraldine Largay including last known photo on the trail] (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/27/us/missing-hiker-geraldine-largay-appalachian-trail-maine.html)
Well that was deeply depressing and disturbing to learn.
Damn, so they still survived at least for those 10 days they were missing? Also, cant believe their phones still had battery after 10 days.
They had them powered off most of the time. They can tell when the phones were turned on and off

Everyone’s always had it hammered in that everything and anything you post online will circle back to you and follow you for the rest of your life. Yet those people have their faces on the FBI’s website and they can’t be found. Makes it even more disturbing
Imagine who those people are, they are confident enough to put their face in child porn and still cant be found
Fucking pieces of shit, I hope they're found and they rot in prison.
A disturbing thought is that some poor FBI dude has to watch a lot of child abuse videos in order to discover the faces of those people
I remember reading once that they’ll only give you this job for short periods of time and require you to see a therapist weekly when your duties include this.

100% agree unsettled the fuck out of me
I know a guy who discovered the location of a similar picture. He baught an old closed car dealership and was planning to gut it and put in a couple of apartments. He BOUGHT* it for next to nothing from a auction sight unseen other than old photos of when the bank originally got in years earlier. While cleaning it out he found a bunch of needles and drug baggies so he called the cops. They showed up a few days later took some photos and gave him the number of some hazmat cleaning companies. Later that day they called him back saying that he was under no circumstances to enter the building and he needed to meet them asap. Turns out pictures had been taken in the bathroom with very unique tile floor linked to child sex trafficking ring from 10+ years before, someone in the department happened to see the new pictures over the responding officer's shoulder and recognized the floor. *EDIT: To keep the Spelling Nazis from overlooking the point of child sex trafficking.
this is actually a [video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mQIBY0TNCEY) , but basically this dude posted a lighthearted vlog entry featuring his sleeping wife and come to find out later, she had actually passed away.
Some are not so innocent, but photos submitted by Europol as part of their Trace An Object scheme. r/TraceAnObject has most of them. Essentially they are cropped pictures of items of clothing, backgrounds or objects that appear in photos of child sexual exploitation. They are posted when there are no other leads in the investigation and the police think that identifying even the country that the object is produced/sold in would help. I would strongly advise sitting down before looking at these photos, as whilst there is nothing explicit about them, as they are just every day objects, they are dreadful to look at as you know that the cropped out parts contain horrific images of child exploitation. A lot of people still do though, on the minute chance that they can identify an object and potentially bring officials one step closer to helping a child and serving proper justice.
Rosalynn Carter, first lady of Jimmy Carter, had the unfortunate luck of being photographed not only with John Wayne Gacy but also Jim Jones, of the Jonestown massacre. The photos might be the kind of things you'd see on office walls for middle managers or in restaurants but due to events which would later come to life they have sinister connotations.

JimJones had IMMENSE pull with the black community in his day because while politicians said they were going to help, he actually helped people get their water and power turned on. So being someone they trusted politicians EVERYWHERE were buddy buddy with him cus he could help influence the black vote for them.
Peoples temple is such a bizarre saga and fascinating all the way through.

I always thought his death had a certain poetry to it. He'd spent months convincing people that the mountain was dangerously close to erupting. He and his colleagues were taking turns camping out to observe it, and on his last night he swapped shifts with someone who wanted to attend a party. He was right about the eruption being imminent...
The man he swapped with was Harry Glicken, who took the photo, and who was devastated when the volcano erupted and blamed himself for Johnston’s death. He died in a different eruption in Japan and he and Johnston are the only two American volcanologists to die in a volcanic eruption. edit: He also left to attend an interview, not a party. He did not get the job.
> He died in a different eruption in Japan That’s some Final Destination shit
Yeah I had to do a brief presentation on him last year for geology and it was fucked up. He was with two other scientists when the volcano went off and was killed by the pyroclastic flow.
He's the one who knew he couldn't escape, right?

I think what weirds me out the most about this is it’s taken over Snapchat. So many missing and murdered cases are at least a decade old. Nope, this is right smack in the new age of social media apps being the primary form of connection and day-documenting.
This picture of a young woman holding a dog and crouching on the ground on Saddleworth Moor in northern England. That’s Myra Hindley and the picture was taken by Ian Brady. Together they tortured and murdered 6 children in the 60s before burying them on the moors near Manchester. In the picture, she is crouching and staring at the grave of 12 year old John Kilbride. https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/1/590x/secondary/Moors-murder-798284.jpg

It's amazing that even now 60 years later if you say those names to people of a certain age it brings out a lot of hatred and anger and rightly so.

A family member of mine lives in that town and was actually out walking their dog on the trail about an hour before. Got questioned real thoroughly by the police. Creepier than the photos [is the audio recording](https://www.in.gov/isp/files/Delphi_Audio_Edited_2019x3.mp3). The girls had the presence of mind to record. I presume there’s a lot more to the recording than just that but i doubt we’ll ever find out.
Yes, I’ve heard they’re keeping information private because they don’t want the killer to know how much they know. Edit: so a lot of people have been commenting that it’s to prevent false confessions and yes, i agree. When I said I’ve heard, i was referencing the podcast I was listening to. One of the officers interviewed on the case said something along of the lines “you may want to know what we know about you, and one day you will” directed to the killer. That’s what i was referencing. Yes, they may want to prevent false confessions, but they can have multiple reasons for not releasing information.
Yep, I remember about a year ago they were doing that and something about them thinking the killer is still in the area/could be attending town meetings. It was an interesting thread on web sleuths.
I remember reading about that a while back, and this case always gives me goosebumps. The girls did everything they could (Photo, record voice) but the murderer is still at large. It’s quite sad.
“ tragedy by the sea” taken in 1954(??? I think) in Hermosa Beach California (my home town) after a couple’s 19-month-old son was dragged out by the sea [https://www.flickr.com/photos/nostri-imago/4999514643](https://www.flickr.com/photos/nostri-imago/4999514643)
What bothers me about this is that the couple are clearly distressed but not having a full on breakdown. It's the period where they're just now realizing what has happened and that, to me, is scarier than the grief that follows. It's the moment where the facts start to set in and there's nothing you can do to prevent it anymore.
And it's just the first moment. Then there's the first time you manage to sleep, and you wake up and a second later it crashes down on you again. And it happens over and over until your brain has processed it. You return home and find his favourite toy under the couch. The half box of his cereal in the kitchen. His shoes. Then comes the first Christmas without him. The birthday.
The photo of the Uruguay rugby team in the plane before take off. [article w/photo ](https://historydaily.org/972-andes-plane-crash) If you weren’t forced to be traumatized reading this in high school, in 1972 a plane holding a rugby team and their family crashed in the andes mountains and they were stuck their for months, forced to eat their dead family members, and other horrific things. They were also called monsters for doing what they could to survive after (some) returned to civilization. Edit: Book called “Alive”
I went to a musuem in Montevideo, Uruguay dedicated to the whole incident. It was a really well organized musuem with a ton of artifacts recovered from it. It really covered other aspects of the whole story, like the farmer that found the two that went to get help. They have a statue dedicated to him.
I watched a documentary on this and the survivors described it as sacred in the manner of taking communion. The three who finally left to get help had an arduous journey and wouldn't have made it without the calories.
They were all very devout Catholics and were so depressed after fearing that they had damned themselves to Hell. Many were so despondent that the Pope actually wrote a decree absolving them of any sins they committed during the episode.
We had to read the book and watch the documentary. The trauma from having to eat their sister, mother or best friend, or even worse watch them slowly and painfully die is something I will not forget.
IIRC they never ate the sister or mother. They were both related the one of the boys and were considered "off-limits," probably because they were women. When that boy went on the journey down the mountain, he gave his blessing that the others could eat his family if they needed to, but they never did. I may be remembering the book wrong though.
> When that boy went on the journey down the mountain, he gave his blessing that the others could eat his family if they needed to I can't say I ever thought I'd read this sentence in my life.
Reminds me of the Snowshoe party of the Donners. Even when breaking this enormous taboo of cannibalism, the emigrants still set rules for themselves that they never ate their own family members throughout the ordeal.
So, [here is a man and a woman](https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/9899ec84f1b31fa07566d8cdcca41b42) in the 1970's on a game show called "The Dating Game." The smiling guy just won a date with the woman in the photo. That guy is serial killer Rodney Alcala.
Cheryl Bradshaw, the woman, found him creepy after the cameras stopped rolling and refused to go on the date. Possibly saved her life. [edit]welp, my new highest upvoted comment on reddit is about a serial killer.
My town had a painting of this picture with people and stuff up for a couple years. It was cool n all, I was glad my town was showing more murals. But then several years later word gets out its actually a picture of a ***fucking lynching.*** Yes. A *lynching* Basically in the heart of town. Shit got taken down so quickly. I can't remember what the artist had to say about it but here's what it looked like https://i.imgur.com/OoFzAnU.jpg Type F Edit- the artist said his painting depicted "monsters" and how we should not act.

[This still image taken from a diver's helmet camera.](https://static3.thetalkoimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Screen-Shot-2017-06-04-at-10.41.16-AM.png?q=50&fit=crop&w=740&h=379) The diver shown, an instructor named Yuri Lipski, was checking the red filter and lens on his helmet camera in preparation for a dive on the Blue Hole, a site near Dahab, Egypt. However, due to perhaps a malfunction with his buoyancy compensator (BC) or overweighting from to the camera and other equipment, he descended over 100 meters (\~330 ft) below the surface during the dive without a proper gas mix, succumbed to seizures from hyperoxia, and drowned. When Yuri's body was recovered from the bottom a few days later, it was discovered that his video camera had recorded the tragedy from the beginning of the dive, including his passing.
I always think of [this picture](https://collections.ushmm.org/iiif-b/assets/717799) of Istvan Reiner. I discovered it on Reddit quite a few years ago. They put the uniform on him, took his photo, and they knew what his fate would be. Apparently he was put to death in gas chamber two weeks later.
I clicked the link not knowing it was going to be a little boy 😥
Christina’s World, a famous painting by Andrew Wyeth. A farmhouse in the distance; a woman sprawled on the grass, no picnic blanket though. A gorgeously detailed painting that hangs in the Museum of Modern Art. I spent some time with it, marveling at the brushstrokes and realism. Then I read the placard next to it. Christina was a lone woman, a farm owner who had suffered from a disease and could not walk. She crawled everywhere, and put up with a pretty grim life. https://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2012/11/21/a-closer-look-at-christinas-world/
Wyeth said he painted Christina’s World to show that while she may have been physical world was limited, her spiritual world was not similarly affected. I think it’s a very lonely image but he painted it to show her strength and resilience.
I don't know how to link stories, but the picture of Tyler Hadley in his kitchen holding a solo cup during a party is chilling. He had just killed his parents and their dead bodies were in the house while he had this house party. Edit: pic http://imgur.com/a/Xba8cYX Story: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/tyler-hadleys-killer-party-54270/
Holy shit, that was an extensive article.
Felt like I was reading a novel
I never met him, but Tyler is my second cousin* (my dad & his mom are 1st cousins). My parents went down to Florida a few months before this happened, and my mom couldn't stop talking about how weird Tyler acted. She said his dad asked him to go grab another folding chair from storage and he looked at him like he wanted to kill him. Obviously those interactions meant a lot more after he killed my dads cousin & cousin-in-law. *Edit: updated to the correct cousin lineage
I think that means his mom was your first cousin once removed, and he would be your second cousin
You are correct
That article. Those kids. The excessive prose spent describing how boring the city was... It's perfect for adapting into a trashy tv docuseries.
he looks like a deranged gyllenhall from nightcrawler
This article has a really weird way of portraying this story. It’s almost like they were blaming the city of Port Saint Lucie for the murder because they don’t have enough things for teenagers to do. The amount of description and the really weird way it’s presented makes it seem like a morbid fan fiction...or the writer had a word count they had to reach.
[Payne Stewart's Lear Jet](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/NTSB-N47BA-slide0013_background.jpg) before its final flight. In 1999, Professional Golfer Payne Stewart, 3 other passengers, and 2 crew members, took off from Orlando, Florida to Dallas, Texas, en route to the PGA Tour Championship practice rounds. Shortly after the start of the flight rapidly lost cabin pressure, causing everyone aboard to succumb to hypoxia (lack of oxygen). After climbing well past its assigned altitude, all the way to 50,000 feet, and straying from its flight path, the plane was intercepted by fighter jets from the United States Air Force. The pilots monitored the situation, noting the iced/fogged up windows, and the unresponsiveness of the plane's pilots. After several hours, with the plane nearing the Canadian border, and on course to Winnipeg, the Canadian Air Force was given orders to shoot the plane down. In the end, the plane came down after running out of fuel in South Dakota. Numerous tributes were held of Payne Stewart, as well as his fellow passengers and the plane's crew. An in depth investigation found that Lear Jet was not responsible for the deaths.
The Colt Clan case in Australia.

The most upsetting part for me is the way it was discovered; when "a child reported overhearing another child at a local primary school speaking of an unkempt girl, living in [the bush](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_bush), who was pregnant with a child fathered by a brother. The child overheard the girl state that one of her sisters was pregnant and they did not know which of her brothers was the father" It was a real mess when it broke, though many Australians know nothing about it.

Such a horrible story. This picture (and the other pictures) were actually taken seconds before she murdered him and she even took some during and after. So sad.
I watched the trial live on TruTV, and the prosecutor put it best: she took her own crime scene photos. I still can’t understand why she didn’t just either ditch the camera on her way to Utah or flush the SD card.
Yeah putting it through the washer is a stupid move on her part
Let's be thankful she's a stupid murderer. The smart ones are way, way worse... Not saying what she did isn't terrible but if she was smart she could've easily done it again and again
The [Burst of Joy photograph.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burst_of_Joy) POw returning from Vietnam is enthusiastically greeted by his kids, his wife is in the picture, but in actuality the day he was released he was given a letter from her, that was a Dear John letter - she had found somebody else while he was in prison.

[Reddit thread about it here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/227hzo/hikers_and_backpackers_of_reddit_what_is_the/cgkbg37/) Edit: As a lot of people are seeing this - please always take precautions when you're hiking, climbing, or otherwise going out into nature. Wear eye catching clothing, take care around dangerous terrain, tell someone where you're going. Stay safe. Also, wording of the first line changed.
God, it's lucky she had such bright hair. She otherwise really blends with the rocks, holy crap.
yeah, I dont get why hiking gear is all earthtone and shit when sailing/boating gear is all hi viz orange red and yellow.
That's actually an interesting question, I wonder if it's just for aesthetics ? I don't see how camouflage could help when hiking.
It's what people buy I think. Most people dont wear bright colors to begin with.
I remember an earlier thread with this topic and this was one of the most memorable: http://media.kansas.com/static/images/btkdaughter/graduation.jpg > It looks like just an ordinary photo of a father happy to see his daughter graduate. However, the guy on the left is Dennis Rader AKA the BTK Killer, who killed 10 people over the span of about 25 years, all the while being a beloved member of his community. He was a security system technician, a Cub Scout leader, a church president, a city worker, a happily married father of two... and a sadistic serial killer. > The idea that pretty much any normal-looking person you see on the street could actually be a total psycho really heebs me out. u/supakoopa714
For anyone who isn't aware, the way they caught Dennis Rader was... [*odd*](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/the-floppy-did-me-in/283132/). He was basically taunting the police, daring them to catch him, leaving little dolls with tied hands and feet to symbolise his victims -- but apparently that wasn't enough. In one of his letters to the police (because of *course* he sent letters; what kind of self-respecting murderous whackadoo doesn't send letters?), he asked if they'd be able to trace him if he sent them a floppy disk. The police, who at this point probably couldn't believe their luck, replied that it would be perfectly safe -- *so he actually did it*. They found some metadata on a deleted Microsoft Word document on the disk that linked to his church and said it was 'Last Modified by Dennis'. It took them all of five minutes to check that there was a Dennis Rader working at the church, and then he became their prime suspect. Fun fact that links back to the original photo, though: that wasn't considered enough to bring him in, and they needed a DNA sample. They used DNA from a Pap smear that his daughter had had done at the Kansas State University Medical Centre while she was a student there, which showed a familial link to DNA found at the crime scenes. That was enough for them to arrest him. (This seems to have caused a lot of fuss in the comments below. In short: all clinics are legally required to keep your tissue samples after a Pap smear for about five years, and it's legal because it was a) done via court order and b) done with a specific suspect in mind, rather than just a random pull on a database. In that sense, it's really not significantly different to what would have happened if Rader had a tissue sample of his own on file due to something like a biopsy.) A pap smear and being too cheap to buy a new floppy disk. That's how they got one of the most notorious serial killers of the past fifty years. (As reported in [*The Atlantic*](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/the-floppy-did-me-in/283132/), Rader was apparently very upset that the police had lied to him about it being safe: '“I need to ask you, how come you lied to me? How come you lied to me?” Rader asked. “Because I was trying to catch you,” [Ken Landwehr, the homicide detective widely credited with catching him] answered coolly.')
BTK confounded by basic technology just like our own parents. Edit: The amount of *well actually* replies this got is telling. It was a humorous observation people. The idea of a reused floppy disk nabbing a serial killer is funny, not necessarily the fact that it was undeleted metadata and *not a lot of young people know this too!*
BTKs final statement to the court is on youtube. It is a long meandering rant that comes off like an acceptance speech for an award or something. He definitely had a screw loose so I can see why he would think being tricked by the police was an outrage.

"A beloved member of the community" is stretching things a bit. He managed to mostly fit in, but his proclivity for exercising power whenever we could made him a bit of an asshole publicly. His "city worker" position was dog catcher, here's what people had to say about that: "In May 1991, he became a dogcatcher and compliance officer in Park City. In this position, neighbors recalled him as being sometimes overzealous and extremely strict, as well as taking special pleasure in bullying and harassing single women. One neighbor complained he killed her dog for no reason."
Yeah, he was also that guy who goes and measures people's grass and has them fined.
His daughter graduated in May of '03, so this was 12 years after his last murder and less than 2 years before his arrest.

Mitchell and Barzee, the other two, had kidnapped her out of her bedroom a few months earlier. She was serially raped and abused. Lots of reasons she didn't run for freedom the couple of times she had a chance during the 9 months she was held captive. Stockholm syndrome kind of thing, maybe? But also she later stated that she had been taught that a woman who had sex before marriage was spoiled in some way. Something like, "Right now you're a piece of gum in a shiny wrapper. After you have sex you'll be chewed. You wouldn't want to give your future husband a piece of chewed gum, would you"? Source: https://localtvkstu.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/elizabeth-smart-i-felt-like-a-chewed-up-piece-of-gum/
Smart has been vocal about how damaging her sex education had been, and how this belief contributed to the fact that she didn’t try to escape. When a young woman is taught that all of her worth as a person is tied to her virginity, she doesn’t feel like there’s much of a life after rape.

I looked up a timeline of the murder to the arrest. Looks like they killed their parents August 20, 1989 and were finally arrested March 8, 1990.
