Passion Blog #10: Rosemary West

Everyone has heard a tale of a horrible stepparent, with it usually being a stepmom. We were raised with the tale of Cinderella and her horrible stepmother but that was just a movie and there was a happy ending. Well, the story today sadly does not come with a happy ending. Today I want to […]

One of the worst tragedies in the world is the loss of a child. The loss of many all at once is almost unimaginable. Sadly however, in the recent years, America has had to face this head on far too many times. These horrible events take form as school shootings. Where children and teens not only lose their innocence and […]

Passion Blog #8: Frederick “Kevin” Coe

Often when people hear the word psychopath, they conjure up the images of serial killers and torturers. They think of people along the lines of Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer, the notorious ones known for their brutal methods of killing. However, not all psychopaths have to be killers in order to fall under this title. There are those out there that […]

Passion Blog #7: Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris

This week’s flavor of psychopath is actually a partnership; one of the most disturbing there has ever been. Lawrence Sigmund Bittaker and Roy Lewis Norris formed together what is now prolifically known as “The Toolbox Killer”. They were ephebophiles who prayed on women to fulfill their fantasies of raping, torturing, recording, and murdering innocent lives just to hear their screams.   Photo by Keller on the Loose Lawrence Bittaker met Roy Norris in San […]

When people think of soap they tend to think of cleaning and purifying in a way. We use different kinds of soap to clean our bodies, our homes, our clothes, and really everything else. This week is about a woman who quite the fan of soap, enough of a fan at least to turn her victims […]

Passion Blog #5: Katherine Knight

People like to say that there is nothing better in the world than your own mom’s cooking. It is supposed to be made with love and care and reminds you of home and family. There was one woman who took this to the extreme and literally connected food to her family, her boyfriend to be exact. Katherine Knight was forty-five years old when she decapitated, skinned, dismembered, and cooked […]

Passion Blog #4: Dean Corll

Growing up we are taught to never take candy from strangers. We are taught to fear these people and get away from them as they may want to hurt us. This week I am going to discuss a man that was nicknamed “The Candyman”. His acts in fact had nothing to do with candy, he was just known to pass […]

Passion Blog #3: Sylvia Likens

The past couple weeks I have been focused solely on the murderers and the acts they committed. I have mentioned their victims but only in passing, never really talking about just them and what they went through. This week I would like to change that a bit. Instead, focusing more so on the victim and why […]

Passion Blog #2: Myra Hindley

**Trigger Warning-Contains graphic details of sexual assault and harm to children**  When people are asked to describe a woman the words that tend to come up all paint the same picture. Empathetic, kind, gentle, loving, nurturing, etc. They think of the image of a mother or a grandma, someone that takes care of and loves you. Sexist, yes, but that is […]

Passion Blog #1: Ed Gein

Most find it quite odd when I say that I have always been interested in psychopaths. There has just always been something about the way their minds work that fascinates me, enough to make me get a degree to study it. Therefore, in the oncoming weeks I want to talk not only about the notorious ones, but also […]
