A Murder At Sea With A Miraculous Survivor - November 12 2025

May 17th: Eriksson Twin Bus Incident (2008) Some true crime mysteries offer some far-fetched and out of this world theories. On May 17th 2008 two women, twins, became front page news in a story that, to this day, lacks enough explanation for many to feel as though it is closed. A case that, though a mystery, comes with theories that become almost as interesting as the case itself.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_and_Sabina_Eriksson#:~:text=A%20police%20report%20stated%20that,they%20were%20not%20feeling%20well.&text=He%20noticed%20the%20twins%20clinging,their%20bags%20for%20illegal%20items., https://www.vice.com/en/article/xwpzvj/the-twins-who-ran-into-traffic-before-stabbing-a-man-to-death, https://www.ranker.com/list/strange-facts-about-the-eriksson-sisters/harrison-tenpas, https://themalestrom.com/culture/mysterious-eriksson-twins/, https://www.mamamia.com.au/folie-a-deux-eriksson-twins/, https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/9ji2l4/the_psychotic_eriksson_twins/, https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/ursula-and-sabina-eriksson Learn more about your ad choices.

May 15th: East Middlebury Murders (1935) Cold cases can be extremely frustrating to hear about. And, as we can imagine, it’s even more frustrating for the investigators involved in the cases themselves. On May 15th 1935 three bodies were found in Vermont that, to this day, don’t have an identity. A frustrating fact for the investigators, and the detectives who took over after them, who have been working the case for 87 years.  ,https://unsolvedvermont.com/2019/11/29/the-east-middlebury-does/#:~:text=On%20May%2015%2C%201935%2C%20a,was%20found%20near%20the%20remains, https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2016/10/30/history-space-middlebury-cold-case/92958366/, https://www.vpr.org/post/skulls-and-clay-forensic-sculptor-hopes-crack-1935-middlebury-murder-case#stream/0, https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/8rk8f0/unresolved_murder_bodies_in_the_woods_83_years/, https://addisonindependent.com/1935-murder-victims-buried-mystery-persists-0, https://unidentified.wikia.org/wiki/Addison_County_Jane_Doe_(1935) Learn more about your ad choices.

May 14th: Campo Elias Delgado Born (1934) When a killer dies before their arrest, they take with them a chance to understand their motive for their crimes. Motives that, while in no way excuse an act, give an insight that some can find comforting.

Today’s story is one of those tales but, regardless of the holes that need to be filled, the story deserves to be told. On May 10th 2004 a dangerous man who used his political power to take the lives of many was executed for just some of his many crimes.  MERCH IS OUT NOW!  https://www.bonfire.com/store/morningcupofmurder/ Join the Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/morningcupofmurder Follow Morning Cup of Murder on Twitter: https://twitter.com/cupofmurder @cupofmurder Follow MCOM on Instagram: @morningcupofmurder Have a Murder or strange local true crime story you want to share, or you just want to say hi?
