So, be careful ..
This is the
following stories prove that the boogeyman is very real, and he comes in many
forms.
Check it out ..
1. The Trick or Treat Murder
It was Hallowen Wisconsin in 1911,
Madison residents were outraged by the abduction and murder of seven-year-old
Annie Lemberger. In 1982, the brutal sexual asult and murder of Paula McCormik
age nine, prompted some in the Madison community to call for the release of
suspect Roger Lange so street justice could deal with him.
A similar case occurred in 1973 in Fond
Lu Lac, Nine-year-old Lisa French put on black felt hat and green parka. She
put tape on her blue jeans before going outside. It was Hallowen night and Lisa
had decided to go trick-or-treating as a hobo. Lisa made her way alone through
the neighborhood, going up and down each block and collecting her bag of
treats.
Not far from where Lisa was
trick-or-treating, a woman, Arlene Penn to pick up her live-in boyfriend,
Gerald Turner. She was supposed to go with her boyfriend to her mother’s house
for dinner. However, when Penn got home, Turner said he wasn’t feeling well and
that she should go to her mother’s without him. Penn drove over and when she
got there, she realized that her mother wouldn’t be home for another hour, so
she returned to her home where she snuggled and watched TV with Turner and then
left again for dinner. When she arrived, Turner was dressed in a bathrobe. She
noticed their green bedspreas was on the floor of the laundry room and asked
him about it. He said he has thrown up on it.
Lisa French chose
to go to the wrong house while trick-or-treating. She knocked on Turner’s door,
but instead of giving her candy, Turner somehow lured Lisa into the bedroom he
shared with Penn. Once there, he assaulted Lisa before strangling her to death.
Her body was found dumped along a roadside three days later.
Nine months later,
Gerald Turner was convicted of second-degree murder and was eventually released
from prison. However, he violated his parole and is now behind bars. To this
day, the town of Fond Du Lac has a strict trick-or-treating curfew. Children
are only allowed to make their rounds between 3:30 and 5:30pm.
2. The Lucky Roomate
Halloween 2004, a
woman named Lauren living in Napa, California, saw her security light turn on
and heard her dog bark. She just assumed that it was the cat that belonged to
her roommate Adriane Insogna and went back to sleep. A short time later, Lauren
heard someone come into the house. Lauren assumed it was her other roommate’s,
Leslie Mazzara, boyfriend, and she again fell back asleep.
A blood curdling
scream awoke Lauren next. It came from upstairs, where both of her roommates
slept. Lauren stepped out of the bedroom and was suddenly frozen with
fear. That’s when a man came barreling down the stairs. Lauren ran out the
backdoor, but the problem was that the backyard was surrounded by a 6 foot
fence and there wasn’t any way to get out, so she hid until everything went
quiet.
Lauren didn’t
know, if the intruder was in the house or not, but she ventured back in. She
tried to use the phone, but found that the line had been cut. She then ventured
upstairs and in one of the bedrooms, it looked like a scene straight out of a
horror movie. Both bedrooms were covered in blood, and Mazzara was dead, while
Insogna was slowly bleeding to death. Lauren called 9-1-1, but sadly, it was
too late for Insogna and she died at the hospital.
Eleven months
later, The police were able to trace the distinct cigarette brand found at the
scene to Eric Copple, the husband of Adrianne’s close friend. Copple was reportedly
jealous of the friendship between his wife and Adrianne, which is why he killed
her. Unfortunately for Leslie, she just happened to be at the wrong place at
the wrong time. Copple admitted to the crime and is currently serving a life
sentence.
3. Grisly Halloween Decoration
In October 2015,
in the town of Chillicothe, Ohio, people in one neighborhood noticed a
grotesque Halloween decoration hanging from a chain link fence. It looked like
the body of a dead woman, but the face was unrecognizable because it was all
bloody. Everyone thought it was a sick joke, but no one actually went near it
until about 8:30 a.m. on the following day. A construction crew went to move
the prop and they discovered that was a real body.
The police were
called, and the body was identified as Rebecca Cade, 31. On the day she was
killed, Cade had gotten into a fight with her boyfriend, Donnie Cochenour Jr.,
27. She tried to run away, but she fell into the fence and Cochenour hit her
with a rock. He then proceeded to beat her to death, disfiguring her face
enough to make it look like a Halloween prop. Cochenour was arrested and is
currently awaiting trial.
4. The Candy Man
People purposely poisoning strangers’
Halloween candy is mostly the stuff of urban legend, but this 1974 case in Deer
Park, TX. The father, Ronald Clark O’Bryan, had fallen deeply into debt, so he
decided to claw his way out of his self-inflicted money hole by murdering his
son. He handed his children Pixy Stix and soon after his son Timothy ingested
the powdered candy, he began vomiting and convulsing uncontrollably. He was
taken to the hospital and he was pronounced dead.
After the police investigated the
death, they concluded that Ronald was actually the one who put the cyanide in
the Pixy Stix. Ronald, who had a history of insurance fraud, had taken out a
$20,000 life insurance policy on both of his children. He poisoned The Pixy
Stix to kill both his children for the money, and then, he wanted to poison
other children to hide his crimes. He was arrested, convicted, and executed for
the murder of his son in March 1984.
5. The Tool Box Killer
Lawrence Bittaker
and Roy Norris were known as the “Tool Box Killers” because they routinely
employed implements such as pliers and hammers in their unconscionably vicious
series of kidnap/rape/torture/murders of five teenage California girls in 1979.
The last of these
murders happen on October 31, 1979, sixteen year old Shirley Ledford was
hitchhiking home from a Halloween party in a suburb of Los Angeles. Ledford
made the unfortunate mistake of accepting a ride from two men, Lawrence
Bittaker and Roy Norris.
Bittaker and
Norris were deeply disturbed individuals with a shared love of sexual violence
and misogyny. Over the course of several hours Bittaker and Norris drove around
in their van brutally torturing Ledford with toolbox appliances, sexually
assaulting her, and beating and strangling her to death—which was all recorded
by the deranged psychopath’s on a recording device. The pair became known as
the “Tool Box Killers” for their choice of attack, and both are currently on
death row.
During the course
of Ledford’s murder, they tape-recorded themselves taunting her while she
screamed for mercy. Norris was later quoted as saying:
We’ve all heard women scream in horror films … still, we know that no one is really screaming. Why? Simply because an actress can’t produce some sounds that convince us that something vile and heinous is happening. If you ever heard that tape, there is just no possible way that you’d not begin crying and trembling. I doubt you could listen to more than a full sixty seconds of it.
