There is something to be said about living in a quaint safe town where everybody knows your name. But what if one day your town took a turn for the worse, and it wasn’t so quaint or safe? What if the devil made your neighbor kill someone? Would you believe your neighbor? What would happen? Today we’re talking about the small town of Brookfield, Connecticut.

TRUE-CRIME
Texarkana, a small town that straddles the state line between Texas and Arkansas, is also known as The Town That Dreaded Sundown, thanks to the 1976 horror flick of the same name. Set in Texarkana and based loosely on a string of local slayings, the proto-slasher film came out just two years after The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Black Christmas, and two years before Halloween. Yet the true story behind the “Texarkana Moonlight Murders” is as chilling as anything seen on the silver screen—and made all the more unsettling because the case remains unsolved nearly 70 years later.

Welcome back Far Siders! Today we’re talking about a man known for being a shoe fetishist, a rapist, a torturer, a necrophiliac, and most notably, a serial killer. Methodically, he stalked and brutally murdered four women, before taking trophies and dumping their bodies in a nearby river. It is speculated he kidnapped and murdered many more before his capture in 1969. This is the story of Jerry Brudos.

The address 1140 Royal Street, New Orleans, Louisiana may sound quite average to most people. Unfortunately, this address has seen far more than its fair share of horror. Standing tall and proud, this home fits right in on the cultured New Orleans square. You probably wouldn’t even give it a second glance if you walked by - other than to maybe admire its historic facade. You would be surprised to find that this typical looking abode has a sordid past. Even Hollywood has looked to its tragic track record for inspiration because this location was the site of murder, torture, and has been speculated about since 1834.

Anneliese Michel was born in Germany on September 21, 1952. She grew up in a devoutly, somewhat extreme, Catholic family. Pictures taken of her during childhood show a vibrant, pretty girl on her way to becoming a gorgeous woman. She had shining black hair, an open, honest face and a stunning smile. By the time she was 23-years-old, she was emaciated, heavily bruised, scarred and deranged. She was supposedly taken over by demons and fought for nearly eight years before finally losing her battle with evil. Later, her death was labeled negligent homicide, but was there anything anyone could have done for Anneliese Michel? Were those who were with Anneliese really fighting Satan?

During World War II, Nazi officials were constantly hunting down resistance fighters and the allied spies who aided them. But there was one foreign operative the Third Reich held a special contempt for—a woman responsible for more jailbreaks, sabotage missions and leaks of Nazi troop movements than any spy in France. Her name was Virginia Hall, but the Nazis knew her only as “the limping lady.”

There’s a reason whodunits are so popular... Why mystery novels fly off bookshelves or download with lightning speed into our eReaders. We love finding the clues and connecting the dots. Investigators and armchair detectives alike want to revel in the experience of naming the culprit. The human race craves resolve. We itch to find out the who, what, when, where, and why. I think that’s why I’m truly a little obsessed with today’s story - there is no resolve...and it’s been over 200 years.

Very few abandoned buildings can evoke anxiety, fear, and outright horror that accompanies the simple mention of their name. An insane asylum is one of those places. From campfire stories, TV shows, horror movies, and spine-chilling novels, asylums hold an especially terrifying place in our psyches and tend to invoke our most primal fears. Justifiably so–the stories told about these historic halls of horror weren’t just pulled out of thin air or dreamt up by the twisted minds of storytellers. The true history of our world’s insane asylums may be just as terrifying as the darkest recesses of our imaginations would have us believe.

For more than a century, a peculiar physical condition known as ectrodactyly has afflicted the Stiles family. The rare congenital deformity makes hands look like lobster claws as the middle fingers are either missing or seemingly fused to the thumb and pinky.While many may have viewed this condition as a handicap, for the Stiles family it spelled opportunity. As far back as the 1800s, as the family grew and produced more children with unusual hands and feet, they developed a circus: The Lobster Family, which became a carnival staple throughout the early 20th century.But one son, Grady Stiles Jr., would give the Stiles’ family a different, morbid reputation when he became a murderer.

The man we’re talking about today is the most well-known drug-lord in the world. He so thoughtfully planned his drug trafficking business that he worked the drug market for over 30 years and wasn’t captured until 2016. He also oversaw his own cartel to produce and distribute illegal drugs, and he even went so far as to build tunnels underground that bypassed border patrols. Can you guess who we’re talking about today for Case #12? If you thought “El Chapo,” you’re right on the money.

At first glance, you might be tempted to think of Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City as nothing more than your average suburban graveyard, but don’t be fooled. Tucked away inside its iron gates sits the Black Angel statue, a winged figure so menacing that anyone who dares to touch it is said to fall victim to one hell of a curse. The curse is one that has scared late-night thrill-seekers for decades, and while it might seem fitting to affix such a legend to a statue so eerie, the Dark Angel of Iowa City was once a beautiful monument to one woman’s sorrow.

What is it that makes some people abusive? What compels people to physically (or emotionally) harm another human? Are they born with these compulsions? Are they influenced by the way they’re raised?

Our case today takes place in a suburb south of San Francisco. California is known for its sunny skies and care-free lifestyle...but the story we’re talking about today is anything but care-free.

That’s exactly what happened in today’s case - the Exorcism in Daly City.
