A hard theory to prove when the other person involved, her own husband, was found buried in her backyard.  ps://abc13.com/susan-wright-murder-trial-jeff-stabbed-husband-193-times/9184616/, https://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/famous-murders/susan-wright/, https://soapboxie.com/government/Susan-Wright, https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/susan-wright-released/285-70d09f30-ae9e-45c0-a61a-50cd388e8017, https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2020/12/30/susan-wright-woman-who-stabbed-husband-193-times-at-harris-county-home-expected-to-be-released-from-prison/, https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/blue-eyed-butcher-texas-woman-who-stabbed-husband-193-times-2003-released-parole/GMR2DZYQLVEIBCYYT7DPOB6IW4/, https://murderpedia.org/female.W/w/wright-susan.htm Learn more about your ad choices.

January 21st: Ilan Halimi Kidnapped (2006) Preconceived notions can be dangerous. On January 21st 2006 a young man, just 23 years old, was kidnapped simply because of the fact that he was Jewish and, as far as this group was concerned, all Jewish people had enough money to pay a hefty ransom.
