Grief, Suspicion and Murder - June 19 2025

February 6th: Alan Shalleck Murdered (2006) Fame and notoriety doesn’t make you immune to tragedy. On February 6th 2006 a man behind some of the biggest children’s shows was killed inside his home in Florida by men who assumed, incorrectly, that they could get some money off of him. At least, that was one of the many versions of their story they told.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Shalleck, https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=5393338#:~:text=July%2017%2C%202008%20%E2%80%94%20%2D%2D%20A,and%20robbery%20with%20a%20deadlyweapon., https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2007-10-19-0710190016-story.html, https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/cartoon-creators-grisly-murder-6378925, https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-feb-09-me-shalleck9-story.html, https://www.foxnews.com/story/man-found-guilty-in-murder-of-curious-george-co-author, https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/florida-man-pleads-guilty-to-killing-curious-george-collaborator/, https://www.blogofdeath.com/2006/03/02/alan-shalleck/ Learn more about your ad choices.

February 2nd: Manuel Delgado Villegas Dies (1998) Most serial killers have a type. They have an MO or a victim  type that can lead investigators straight to them like breadcrumbs. This, however, is not always the case. On February 2nd 1998 a man passed away who chose any type of victim who crossed his path. Which is why he managed to get away with murder for so long and, had he not deviated from this plan, may have gotten away with it a little longer.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Delgado_Villegas, https://murderpedia.org/male.D/d/delgado-villegas-manuel.htm, https://bodyreport.com/?q=article/profile-manuel-delgado-villegas, https://skdb.fandom.com/wiki/DELGADO_VILLEGAS_Manuel Learn more about your ad choices.
