May 24th: Francisco Garcia Escalero Born (1948) There are some stories we tell where the macabre personality of a killer is not revealed until their crimes come to light or they are much older. On May 24th 1948 a young boy was born who, from the very beginning, showed an obsession with death and with the dead. A boy who, in his 30s, would go on an 8 year killing spree and give in to the voices in his head and their desire for a human life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Garc%C3%ADa_Escalero, https://murderpedia.org/male.G/g/garcia-escalero.htm, https://medium.com/@akimovp/wikipedia-francisco-garcia-escalero-aaf644a99f6f, https://peoplepill.com/people/francisco-garcia-escalero, https://killer.cloud/serial-killers/show/113/francisco-garcia-escalero Learn more about your ad choices.

May 23rd: 2014 Isla Vista Killings(2014) A motive, while interesting to learn, can sometimes be filled with misplaced blame that, in the aftermath of tragedy, does more to upset and confuse the public. On May 23rd 2014 a young man who spent years raising red flags committed a mass killing that saw 6 bodies in his wake. A mass killing that, after reading and hearing his manifesto, left much of the world confused, hurt, and angry in his absence.  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43892189, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Isla_Vista_killings, https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-santa-barbara-isla-vista-rampage-investigation-20150219-story.html, https://people.com/crime/5-years-later-remembering-the-6-student-victims-of-the-isla-vista-killings/, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/20/mass-shooter-elliot-rodger-isla-vista-killings-report Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
