Grief, Suspicion and Murder - June 19 2025

May 21st: Kip Kinkel Kills (1998) Every kid has a phase where they act out tremendously and parents can be found at their wits end. However, when does that phase become something dangerous, something you need to seek professional help in treating? On May 21st 1998 a boy who had problems for years walked into his school armed to the teeth. A boy who, by this point, had already taken care of the parents who were at a loss for how to help their son.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurston_High_School_shooting, https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/kinkel/kip/cron.html, https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2020/05/thurston-high-school-shooter-kip-kinkel-continues-to-challenge-his-nearly-112-year-sentence.html, https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2020/12/judge-denies-thurston-high-school-shooter-kip-kinkels-push-to-have-states-high-court-consider-if-hes-entitled-to-release-hearing-after-25-years-in-prison.html, https://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Kipland_Kinkel, https://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/kinkel-kipland.htm Learn more about your ad choices.

May 20th: Jennings Eight’s First Victim (2005) One would think, with a victim count of 8, that a case of that size would be easier to solve.

May 19th: Gage Park Stabbings Killer Arrested (2016) Desperate times call for desperate measures. It’s a saying you hear time and time again but, hopefully, those desperate measures don’t involve the cold blooded murder of an entire family. On May 19th 2015 two people were arrested for the murder of a Chicago family. Two killers who, according to their own confession, were desperate for some money and food for their baby.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gage_Park_murders, https://chicago.suntimes.com./crime/2020/1/21/21069612/juarez-cartel-hitemen-gage-park-killings-diego-uribe-cruz-jafeth-ramos-maria-herminiai-ramos-chicago, https://www.chicagotribune.com/hoy/ct-hoy-8658266-alleged-murderers-gage-park-mexican-family-pleaded-not-guilty-story.html, https://abc7chicago.com/gage-park-murders-family-homicides-diego-uribe/1347513/, https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/grisly-details-behind-gage-park-massacre-revealed-as-suspects-denied-bail/57266/, https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160205/gage-park/6-dead-gage-park-stabbings-police-update-public-friday-morning/ Learn more about your ad choices.

May 18th: Herb Coddington Arrested (1987) Some people look for signs in the strangest places. On May 18th 1987 a man was arrested who committed heinous crimes because he felt that God was directly communicating with him. And, in that communication, told him that he needed to kidnap, rape, and kill young girls and anyone who got in his way. One of which never got to see life in her teens, let alone adulthood.  https://murderpedia.org/male.C/c/coddington-herbert.htm, https://www.mtdemocrat.com/news/capital-murder-case-sends-chills-prompts-warnings-from-law-enforcement-subhed-coddington-a-poster-boy-for-death-penalty-law-officers-say/, https://tntcrimes.com/herb-coddington/, https://www.tahoedailytribune.com/news/supreme-court-upholds-death-penalty-for-tahoe-killer/, https://apnews.com/article/23b1618798751390ba0d967c04bd202a, ,w https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Death-Penalty-Upheld-for-Tahoe-Man-He-killed-2-2714445.php Learn more about your ad choices.

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. On May 14th 1934 a man was born who would go on to begin a bloodbath that, in the end, we have no idea why he decided to commit.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campo_El%C3%ADas_Delgado, https://murderpedia.org/male.D/d/delgado-morales.htm, https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-47036526 Learn more about your ad choices.
