Hi there... I am not from nor do I reside in Florida. My mother Teresa Marie Norrington (Frederick). I do not know if she had kept her married name Frederick or not.

Anyway, she was living in the Florida Keys after she and my father divorced, and she gave up her rights to my older sister and myself.

To get right to it, she was murdered... raped and strangled walking home from work August 1, 1986 (for some reason some sites say she died 1987). I was 3 years old.

The man was caught and sent to prison for a number of years. I do not know which city her sister just knows it was somewhere in the Keys.

*** I do not know specifics due to my father and her parents not wanting the information because it was too painful. ***

I want this information. Where she was. Who did it. Police reports, news articles if there were any, his sentence he was given, his name. I have had these questions since I found out what happened to her at the age of 7. I know some information but very little. I need closure. I called a police station in Florida almost 15 years ago I have no idea which I even called but they would not help me.

I have searched and cannot find anything. I cannot afford to pay for sites to look things up. I don't know if this is the reddit page I should be asking this on, but I need answers.

Can anyone help me? If so, what info do you need from me? I don't have much but if I can get it I will.

Thanks.

I hope I'm not mixing up 2 cases, but I believe this one takes place in the UK within the internet dating era.

The man posed as a younger man in his online pictures to lure younger men to his apartment. I believe he ended up killing 3 or 4 of them and left their bodies very close by to his apartment or house outside. The police originally chalked it up to the young men being victims of drug over doses as the man posed them that way.

He may or may not have set up one of the bodies right outside of his apartment.

TIA! I hope this is enough information.

Edit to add if you know where I can watch what this was aired on that would be amazing too.

Need help finding murder of a babysitter from a long time ago?

Need help remembering the name of the victim, i can't remember. A few years ago I read a whole thing about a babysitter who was murdered. From what I remember:

- She was young, a teenager. She was babysitting while the kids parents went out.

- when they came back they found the babysitter murdered. Someone had broke in. I think she was raped or SA'd, but not certain.

- I think it was in the 40's or 50's, MAYBE even the 60's. Definitely one of those.

- The kids she was babysitting were unharmed.

- The killer was never found, case never solved.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? Anyone remember what the victim was called?

I'm sorry if these details are off

I want to say it was pre-2000's Japan or China, not 100% sure though

Someone broke into the house when just the kids were home, multiple kids and younger in age. I think all the kids were killed. I believe there was a note left for the parents warning them that the killer would be back if they had anymore kids in the future.

Google likes to bring up the Setagaya murders and it is 100% NOT it.

Hi, everyone. I need a little help. I will explain in the preamble how I got in this mess, but I’ll put it in spoiler text so that you don’t have to read the irrelevant details of how my brain is broken. But I am not 100% sure that these details are irrelevant because one of you might have an idea of how to fix this problem even if you can’t help me identify the crime/killer I’m looking for.

This is driving me NUTS. I have a hobby of wasting my free time by thinking of a topic that I’m interested in, or perhaps a question might pop into my mind, and so then I go seek its Wikipedia article. From there I then go on to explore any linked articles, those in the “see also” or anything that catches my attention in the body of the article by selecting “open in new tab”. As almost all Wikipedia pages have other articles linked in them I end up with a lot of open tabs. (Yes, I do have ADHD. Thank you for asking.)

A few days ago I hit upon a “great” solution to my open tab problem. I decided I would write down each Wikipedia article once I had finished reading it and opening new tabs for any interesting topics that were linked, and then closed the tab I had finished reading. Not only did this mean I was very slowly whittling down the number of tabs, (I use the Ecosia browser and I have so many tabs open it won’t give me a number it just shows the infinity sign) but I foolishly also thought it would prevent just the kind of situation I’m in now by making a record of what I’d read so that the next time I thought “oh, what was the name of that cave in Vietnam with the bats” I wouldn’t spend 47 hours looking for it because I’d have written it down.

Unfortunately I’m an idiot and that hasn’t worked at all because today I thought of a crime I read about within the last 72 hours and wanted to check the details of again and not only is the list completely useless in finding this article that I swear I just read, my internet history is basically the exact same as my list, which is…obvious now I think about it but somehow escaped my awareness when I hit on the redundant idea of also writing it down.

Okay, preamble over. Here’s what I can remember.

There’s a guy, he’s probably a serial killer, but I can only think of two victims, possibly three all killed at the same time. The victims are at least one adult woman, or older teenage girl, possibly two, or potentially an adult woman and a female child. I remember there was more than one victim and they were female. The killer gave them a ride or took them somewhere, I believe in the woods, either at their request or offering to show them something or maybe he was a taxi driver??? I don’t know. They were out in a park or forest type area I believe. The details on this are hazy I’m afraid.

What I do remember is that the victims were sitting in the back seat of this car and they were found to have been killed by carbon monoxide poisoning. I don’t remember if they were assaulted in any way.

I also remember that this man spoke to someone, perhaps a wife or girlfriend, or even his sister, or mother, or another female friend, relative, or roommate about the crimes at some point. I believe he had talked about the crimes after he was questioned by police and this female relative asked if he had anything to do with it. He told her that he had given them a ride to this forest place and then left them in the car or perhaps fell asleep or something with the car still running and then when he got back or woke up they were dead and he panicked and tried to conceal their remains in some way. I believe he told the same story to the police and claimed that while he was asleep someone must have opened the trunk of his car, found a piece of hosing, attached it to his exhaust and then run the hose back into the car killing the women in the backseat. I remember that the article pointed out the holes in the story and suggested that made no sense because then he and whoever was in the front seat with him (I believe he claimed there was another person in the car who didn’t die but I don’t remember if that person was really there or if he made them up) should also have died from the carbon monoxide. It also mentioned that the police found his story suspicious because of how he explained in detail how this mystery suspect could have turned his car into a makeshift gas chamber.

I believe he was taken to trial and convicted but I can’t be sure on that. All I can really be sure of is the mental picture of this car in the woods, that his story didn’t make sense, and that his detailed explanation of how the hose must have been attached to the car made people suspicious because he knew too much in too much detail.

I believe the case dates from between the 60s to 80s but I can’t be sure. I’m almost positive it’s 20th century though. I think the case was American but it could have been from the British Isles or Western Europe.

I think it’s worth noting the person I’m looking for is not Melvin Carr, Mark Wangler, Khaw Kim Sum, Colin Howell, Woo Chang, or Isaiah Pulu. These are the most popular search results that come up if you google “carbon monoxide murder”.

Help!?

I recently came across a story about a married woman who allegedly used to give her husband sleeping pills so she could secretly talk/meet her boyfriend.

One day, the husband went out after hearing that his maternal uncle had met with an accident. His wife apparently thought he would be away for a long time, so she called her boyfriend over.

But things didn't go as planned—the husband reportedly returned and caught them together.

Does anyone know the exact location or have more details about this case? I'm trying to find the original news report.

A mother abandoned her 16-month old baby at home to take a ten day vacation trip. Video shows baby crying and falling off her crib while crying out for her mother. Would appreciate if answered asap as this is for a school research!

Trying to remember a case. My best friend told me this weekend her great uncle was a police officer or a state trooper in Alabama. He stopped a car and then disappeared. His car was found backed up to some woods I believe but he was never located. Maybe this was near Talladega AL? I recall this case but can’t find any info online. Maybe last name is Hicks?

South carolina teen murdered in living room. Can't remember motive or anything but was so jarred by it

Name or surname may have started with or contained Sh or V.

Anglophone country. The son was tortured/deprived more harshly for having meltdowns. He was generally kept in very neglectful conditions anyway, which obviously would have contributed to his distress. The mother exchanged text messages with her other son instructing him to torture the kid further. I remember being struck by how cultlike/delusional she/they sounded in how casually she talked about it. It came off as though they believed he was doing it deliberately and he could control his behaviours.

Not sure if the victim was an adult or a child, but I think the latter.

Not Alex Radita.

There is a subreddit dedicated to the case, also (although the mother and son were convicted).

Looking for a name or docuseries title...

A few years ago I came across a case/series (I can't recall if it was YouTube or some other streaming service).

Here is what i can remember of it...

\- it was about a young boy who had gone missing

\- the boy and his siblings had been adopted by foster parents.

\- one of the ways that they found holes in the dad's stories was that he called 911 and claimed he had gone out and tried to find the child. Neighbors cameras showed that he was outside for less than 5 minutes and never left the driveway

I know that may not be much to go off of, but any help would be appreciated!

A man went to a party of some kind, walked home from it, never heard from again. I believe he was found “sitting up” in a lake or a bog or a swamp? If he walked there himself it was a further and less direct path than the one that would lead him home. Any ideas what case this is? It’s been driving me crazy trying to remember

Crimewatch used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid & one very eerie appeal made on the show has haunted me for decades. There was a single parent from the north west interviewed & she said around 11 o'clock one night there was a loud knocking on her front door & she nervously answered & there was a woman stood there wearing an obviously fake black wig who identified herself as a social worker & started to viciously criticize the woman's behaviour towards her 6 year old son saying there had been multiple complaints & that she would have to hand her son over to her otherwise she would be breaking the law. She knew the name of the boy & his date of birth & shouted up the stairs to him to pack a suitcase because he had to go with her in the car. The parent froze momentarily but when the boy started crying hysterical she pulled him close & asked if she could have a second chance but the social worker said it wasn't possible, shed used all her chances. The boy started screaming & to buy herself some time the parent asked to see some ID. The social worker said she would get it from her waiting car but instead she got inside & the driver drove off at high speed. The woman & her neighbours caught a glimpse of the driver & said they were sure it was a man dressed as a woman wearing a matching fake looking wig.

A few months later in the Midlands another single mother was packing her suitcase with her daughter at around 6AM because they were taking a short break away & there was a loud pounding on the door & when the woman answered there was a short podgy woman wearing fake dreadlocks & further up the drive what she thought was a tall woman looking down at her feet. The podgy woman was very volatile & threatening & started shouting about the disgusting way she was raising her daughter & that her & her fellow social workers had been observing them & had been unhappy for a long time. Again the woman knew the childs name & also knew her birthday & she went down on her knees to address the little girl & said 'don't worry, it's all over now, we've come to help you, you don't have to put up with this any longer' Unlike the other woman this parent was very suspicious & her daughter broke down crying so she picked her up & the woman was motioning with her arms to hand her over with the little girl crying 'don't let them take me away' the parent was by now pissed off & told the woman she wanted to see ID right away or she would phone the police. Again she said she would go to the car to get it but as she passed her tall friend the pair moved quickly, ran to the car & speeded away. Again this woman thought the tall lady was a man in drag.

The creepy thing is the first woman mentioned went to Butlins 200 miles away a few months later & came face to face with the woman again in a gift shop & she ran at her full force with an angry look on her face wich made the woman yell because she thought she was about to be attacked but instead she just knocked her out of the way & ran off shouting

I remember the police in the CW studio looking totally baffled but spooked out at the same time & appealed to the viewers watching that Social services have no right whatsoever to turn up unannounced to take a child away & no one in any circumstances should hand their children over. Nick Ross asked if they were just scare mongers getting a kick out of frightening people but the police said even though that was a possibility the woman had done her homework & knew the names of children & parents & even their date of birth & they genuinely feared something very sinister was going on

I was about 10 years old in 1994 when that was shown & I can tell you I didn't sleep well & DID have nightmares that night & still find the whole thing creepy

Does anyone have any more info as to whether it was ever solved or if anyone was ever arrested etc?

It was an episode during the first four seasons. A little white girl had a crush on an older black boy. The girlfriend of the boy got mad and told her boyfriend and boyfriend’s brother or cousin to lure the little girl to an abandon house and the three of them killed her. I believe the little girl was developmentally delayed. I’ve been trying to find the episode and remember their names but I can’t.

So a YouTuber was discussing about how the ex father in law had killed his son ex wife outside the court and her exvhusband and her ex mother in law was also involved and all three gotten arrested.

If anyone knows please let me know thank you!

I don’t remember a lot about the case. Sometime in the 2000s and i feel the girl was somewhere in the age range of 19-22.

From what I remember she went to Japan without anyone knowing about it and she didn’t have her own phone so no one could get ahold of her. I think they could track some of her movements in Japan but I don’t remember how, maybe security cameras and such.

I think the last place she was seen was considered a pretty odd place for tourists. But I know that she basically just disappeared and still to this day no one has any sort of idea of where she could have went. Thank you.

Hello! This case happened maybe in louisiana, texas or oklahoma in the 70s or early 80s. A bunch of oilworkers-men and women were brutally mutilated and murdered in a boarding house. A neighbor walked in and found then or maybe cops were callled-I think the front door may have been torn off and that is why the cops were called. I think two of the victims were a couple. This is not the case that happened in Odessa, Texas. Thank you in advance. I believe I read about this case on the much missed blog I Did it For Jodie.

Searching . She was reaching for a bucket? Fell in the vat and her body was dragged through over 12miles??? Maybe 33? Of pipes and perhaps three? 90° angles.. all her hair teeth and nails were disintegrated/missing...
I cant find This Specific case !!! But this is what i remember about it... anybody know what im talking about?
It was gruesome and her body turned grey

I’m trying to identify a disturbing video I stumbled across on X/Twitter a year ago. It appeared to show an American family/household in a living room space, with a young boy dressed in a knight costume and a girl dressed as a princess. An adult appeared to be playing around with a real sword/dagger, and the situation became violent. I remember the footage looking extremely real and possibly being from around 2010–2019. I’ve wondered ever since whether it was a real incident (for me it looked wayy to real). Does anyone recognize the case/video or know whether something like this was actually reported?

I know this is a long shot, but maybe 10/15 years ago I watched a show about a case where a little girl was taken from her apartment/house. What I remember is, there didn’t appear to be any forced entry, they blamed the dad, and I am pretty sure there was a sibling. I think it was a missing person case but that I’m unsure of. I remember seeing drawings of the home, and I think the dad had some interviews too. I would love to have a name to the case to be able to look it up now but I have no other details . Maybe you all can help! Thanks!

Forgive me, I'm going off of details i remember from years ago. (60s-90s?)

A father was sexually assaulting his daughter. The mother was at the hospital for what I believed was a mental health visit. While she was there, the father tried to assault his daughter but (I believe) the son intervened. The father killed both kids.

This is the part I might be misremembering. I can't remember when the mom came home if they stayed together. Or if they divorced and the dad ended up going and having another family. I want to say it was the latter but I'm not sure. It was never found out he was the murderer until years later. I want to say after he died.

I remember an episode of MFM in which one of the hosts talks about a murder in either the 90s or the very early 00s that went unsolved for a long time then years later turned out to be the man who married her best friend and was dating the friend at the time of the murder. I feel like it happened in California, but can’t be sure.
