Crime Curious

We are not sure it gets much worse than two 16 year old shit for brain girls who think they are untouchable, and murder their best friend in cold blood for no other reason than "we didn't like her anymore". Skylar was a beautiful and intelligent young woman who deserves to have her story told, so her murderers can stay where they belong.

Junko was a brilliant and steadfast student when she was abducted by a group of teenage dirtballs, and held in captivity and tortured for over 40 days. The punishment for these teens defiantly did not meet the crime, and the extent of what she went through in her final days is nearly unbearable to conceive.

Welcome to "Munch or Madness?" week....and Amber is bringing it with a case that will seriously have you pondering who the real victim is in all of this. Gypsy Rose Blanchard was an adult who was never told her real age, told she was special needs and endured years of medical procedures that she never needed all because her mother Dee Dee likely suffered from Fictitious Syndrome or as others know it Munchausen by Proxy. Gypsy felt she had no way out, and as long as her mom was living she would always be in captivity.  Sources: https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/295258-overview#a1 https://www.gawker.com/everything-we-know-about-dee-dee-blanchardes-twisted-oz-1712087183 https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a26887470/who-is-rod-blanchard-gypsy-rose-blanchard/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.refinery29.com/amp/en-us/2019/03/226947/how-old-gypsy-rose-blanchard-age-birthday-the-act https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Dee_Dee_Blanchard Erin Lee Carr.

Pamela Everett might never had known she had two aunts that were murdered along with their friend in 1937 if she had not tried to lie to her father about where she was one night when she was 15. Instead of being upset with her, her father simply told her that he had lost two sisters and he couldn't lose a daughter too. It was that statement that sent her searching as an adult for the two aunts she never knew. What she discovered was not only details about her families secret, but that the wrong guy was possibly sent to the gallows for the murder of the "Babes of Inglewood" Music By: Jonas Bjornstad Cover Art By: Charnell  Little Shoes: The Sensational Depression-Era Murders That Became My Family’s Secret By Pamela Everett.
