BHOPAL: Four days after a 12-year-old Dalit girl was found beheaded close to her village in Sagar district, the police investigations have brought to the fore a ghastly saga, which is bound to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

The police probe has revealed that the girl that contrary to her family’s allegations, was not kidnapped and murdered by a Kurmi community family which had enmity with her kin over a land dispute.

Instead, it was her uncle and three real brothers (who had alleged the role of Kurmi family in the crime) who gang-raped and then beheaded the victim, before dumping her body close to her village.

Investigations based on grilling of the three arrested accused, including the deceased girl’s two brothers and uncle Banshilal, revealed that the girl wasn’t allowed to go to school on Wednesday, but was instead abducted by her eldest brother Ramlal and brought to uncle Banshilal’s house in the same Belakhedi village in Banda town of Sagar district.




She was first raped by eldest brother aged 22 years, after which two other siblings aged 19 and 17 years also raped her taking turns. Subsequently, uncle aged around 40 years also raped the minor. The autopsy report of the girl’s body has revealed that the accused also did an unnatural sexual act with her.

After being gang-raped by her three brothers and uncle, the 12-year-old was beheaded by the accused with a sickle, as she threatened to report the matter to the police.

Entire horror unfolded before the girl’s aunt, who didn’t save her niece but instead helped her husband and nephews in concocting a story to attempt false implication of another family from the same village in the crime.

Investigations have also revealed that the eldest of three brothers had raped sister in the past also and threatened to kill her if she made the matter public.

According to Sagar district police superintendent Amit Sanghi, three of the four accused, including the deceased girl’s uncle and her two brothers have been arrested, while raids are being conducted to nab the prime accused who is her eldest brother.

“We’ll also make the girl’s aunt accused in the case, as she helped the other accused in the crime,” said Sanghi.

The minor’s headless body was found close to Belakhedi village in Banda town of Sagar district at around 7 pm on Thursday, just around six-seven hours after her family reported that she had not returned from school since Wednesday.

One of the uMlazi teenagers accused of killing, beheading and cutting off the genitals of a 15-year-old, in an apparent revenge killing, could not explain why the teenager’s private parts were discovered at his home.

Testifying over the past two days in the Durban High Court, Simphiwe “Maviva” Ntshangase denied having anything to do with the murder of Phiwayinkosi “Macala” Mhlongo in April 2017.

Phiwayinkosi was allegedly abducted at gunpoint by the six accused, some of whom were known to his family.

His body was found near a stormwater drain close to his home in C Section, uMlazi, and his head at a school in F Section.

It is alleged that the teenagers had planned to murder Phiwayinkosi because they believed he had “sold out” Ntshangase’s brother to the police. Ntshangase’s brother was killed by a mob earlier last year as a result.


Ntshangase, Njabulo Mhlongo, Luyanda Zulu, Thulasizwe Nene, Njabulo Mbatha and Banele “Boy” Mhlongo are accused of murder and kidnapping.

State advocate Krishen Shah continued to grill Ntshangase yesterday on his version that he knew nothing about the murder and was not at the scene of the crime, but Phiwayinkosi’s penis and testicles were found in a glass vase in a plastic bag in his yard.

According to Shah, all the accused were found at Ntshangase’s home the morning after the incident, drinking alcohol. The vase, illegal revolvers, live ammunition and a bloody knife were found in the backyard where they had been sitting when the police arrived.


“Was it a coincidence that the private parts belonging to Mhlongo were found at your home? This is something unusual,” Shah said.

Ntshangase said it was possible the body parts were planted at his home because there had been a lot of people there since his brother’s funeral.

Shah told the court that the revolvers found by the police fit the description of firearms given by Phiwayinkosi’s sister, Angel, as those carried by her brother’s abductors.

“I am going to suggest to you that you are a liar. It’s not a coincidence that the firearms, the knife, the body parts and the handcuffs were found at your home in the backyard where the police found all of you drinking,” said Shah.

The trial continues.

The Niigata girl confinement

The Lady and the Furnace

On the morning of October 30, 1928, a worker at the police station of Lake Bluff, Illinois went into the basement to light the furnace.

He found a naked woman propped up against the furnace, covered in deep, gruesome burns. She was Elfrieda Knaak, a twenty-nine year old book salesperson and Sunday School teacher.

In the hospital, she insisted “It was all my fault,” and “I did it myself.” Her sense of “faith,” and “purity and love,” inspired her to thrust her arms and legs into the flames to “prove her faith in the spiritual” and make herself worthy of her “astral sweetheart.” She wanted to “commit myself right in the eyes of God.” It was, in short, one of the worst purification rites on record.

She said that as she began to feed herself to the flames, she heard voices, and saw hands beckoning to her from inside the fire, which gave her the will to go on with her deed.

When asked how she had been able to unlock the door leading to the furnace room, and then lock it from the outside, she replied it was “A mystic hand.

However, just before her death, she suddenly admitted that there had been someone else in the furnace room with her.

She had made a suicide pact with another woman, who had instead run away after Knaak had been burned. She then changed her story yet again, stating that “Frank threw me down,” and “They did this.” She told her brother Alvin yet another version of the tragedy, saying “I made a mistake.

It was I alone that did it. I went alone.” She disclosed that someone had given her the key to the furnace room, but she did not say who that might have been.

She tried to say the name of a woman who would, she said, “explain all,” but unfortunately, she died before she could make the name intelligible to her questioners.

The coroner’s jury shrugged and ruled her death as suicide. The police, however, were much less ready to dismiss the possibility of foul play.

They reasoned that the door of the furnace was too high and too small for her to have burned her own legs and feet so severely. Also, a bloody handprint was found on the door, along with blood-soaked footprints leading up the furnace room stairs and back.

And, of course, there was that locked door. Adding to the mystery is the fact that the autopsy found that the dead woman had not only been burned, but struck over the head and electrocuted.

Found in Knaak’s purse was a letter she had received from a new-found friend, a woman who signed her name “B. E. Lock.” Evidently, they had a shared interest in what was described as “religious discussion.” It soon transpired that Knaak’s interest in religion had taken some unorthodox turns.

She followed the “New Thought” movement, a somewhat amorphous "mind-cure" belief system with links to Theosophy and Christian Science. It preached the importance of astral projection and “spiritual purification.

It suggests that either Knaak or someone close to her took the concept of “purification by fire” many, many steps too far. ("B.E. Lock" was later discovered to be a Luella Roeh.

She told police that Knaak had a fascination amounting "almost to hypnotism" for her, but was unable--or unwilling--to give any details that might have explained the young woman's death.)

On the day of the burning, Knaak had journeyed to Chicago on a business meeting. She left work and, around six in the evening, was seen at the Highland Park depot.

- She made two phone calls: one unanswered, and one where she spoke in guarded whispers. She bought a round-trip ticket to Lake Bluff and was seen arriving there later that night. This is the last known sighting of her until she was found in the City Hall.

Knaak had been involved with a married actor/policeman/elocution teacher named Charles W. Hitchcock, with whom—so she said—she shared a “pure,” “astral” love. She told her doctor that “Hitchy got me out of hell about three months ago,” but gave no further details. Before her death, she told investigators that she had gone to Lake Bluff that night in order to see him.

Hitchcock, on the other hand, insisted to authorities that he had not been romantically involved with the dead woman. This has an “Of course, he’d say that,” ring to it, except that at the time of Knaak’s death, he had a badly broken leg which left him house-bound. Unless Mrs. Hitchcock was a remarkably tolerant sort, it seems unlikely that he’d have any lovers, astral or not, dropping over for a visit.

A month after Knaak’s death, a Texas man who described himself as a “student of occult mysticism” wrote to the police declaring that he had helped her burn herself to death.

He claimed that she had asked him to place her into the furnace. The man was quickly ruled insane and sent to an asylum, but he doesn’t seem any crazier than anything else about this story.

So, which of Knaak’s deathbed confessions was the truth? Was it murder, suicide, or some bizarre combination of the two? Or were all her statements the product of a dying woman’s delirium, inspired by the heavy doses of narcotics she received in the hospital? The only “Frank” who had any known link with Knaak was a violin teacher named Frank P. Mandy, who shared a studio with Charles Hitchcock.

However, it was uncertain that he and Knaak had ever even met, and he does not seem to have been regarded with any real suspicion.

Knaak’s death remains as creepily mysterious now as it was on that curiously-close-to-Halloween day in 1928

Somebody knows.

Every time she thinks about it, which is often, Lynn Sprague arrives at the same conclusion: Somebody knows.

The same goes for Bill Blundell, who still hears the sirens ringing through the night, and sees his mother's tears.

And for Mark Walton, the cop who has made it his business to solve a decades-old mystery.

Somebody, they feel, knows who was driving the car that struck Ms. Sprague and her best friend Sheryl Blundell as they stood on Main Street in Stouffville on the night of Feb. 6, 1973. Ms. Sprague, who was 10 at the time, survived. Sheryl was killed.

All these years later York Region police have renewed their investigation of the cold case, and are appealing for information. Constable Walton believes there are people carrying the burden of long-held secrets.

"I do believe there are people out there who know about this," Const. Walton said in a recent interview. "I have no doubt.

"I want to bring some closure to this family."

"We were going to the store," Lynn Sprague said as she recalled the night Sheryl died.

They were two little girls, best friends in Grade 3. Lynn was at Sheryl's house that day. A babysitter was minding Sheryl and her two younger brothers, Bill and Bruce. It was getting dark and the girls begged the sitter to let them run down to the store for candy.
As the girls walked, a woman pulled up and called out to them. She had a carton full of kittens on the seat of her Chevrolet Belair; she was looking for the veterinarian's office. Although the girls could hear her through the passenger window, the woman asked them to come around to the driver's side, Ms. Sprague said. The girls obliged, stepping off the sidewalk into Main Street.

They didn't hear the car coming. Ms. Sprague just remembers waking up as she lay on the street. Her shoes were missing. The dazed child began to look about in the winter gloom for her shoes. There lay Sheryl.

"I looked down," said Ms. Sprague.

She stopped to stifle a sob.

"Sheryl was bleeding from the nose and mouth."

People began to gather. A doctor arrived on scene. Sirens wailed in the distance. A bewildered Lynn Sprague ran home, wanting to see her mother.

People began to gather. A doctor arrived on scene. Sirens wailed in the distance. A bewildered Lynn Sprague ran home, wanting to see her mother.

Ms. Sprague was unhurt and spent the night at home under the watchful eyes of her parents. She remembers that sometime during the night -- the exact time is lost to her -- her dad told her Sheryl was dead.

Sitting in her Oshawa home 39 years later, Ms. Sprague was still amazed at how quickly it happened.

"We didn't see (the car) coming," she said. "We didn't have a clue."

The driver who struck the two little girls didn't stop. Police launched an investigation, interviewing witnesses and conducting a canvass of cars in the community, looking for vehicles that had sustained damage. Despite intense interest in the case, the trail ran cold.

Lynn Sprague was largely unaware of the ensuing mystery. She heard grownups talking about it from time to time, but for the most part resumed her childhood, trying to put the trauma of the incident behind her.

But in the Blundell household, it never went away. Bill Blundell, who was seven when his sister was killed, remembers a family wracked by grief and anger. He particularly remembers his mother's devastation.

"It was all she could do to get through the day," said Mr. Blundell, who now lives in Uxbridge.

He said his mother died in September of 2009, still grieving.

"When you take a child away from a mother it can never be replaced," he said. "She never got over it."

Mr. Blundell remembers being confused by the suddenness and finality of a death so close.

"I remember for a couple of years I would go to bed at night, hoping (Sheryl) would be there in the morning," he said. "Many nights I'd wonder why this had happened to her."

Deepening the family's turmoil was the knowledge that the driver who had struck Sheryl hadn't stopped, and was likely living among them in the small community of Stouffville.

"I am very confident it's a local person," Mr. Blundell said. "I'm also sure there are people who know who did this. That knowledge must be a burden that endures all this time later, he said.

"It's hard to imagine living your life, knowing what happened that night and not being able to say, 'Yes, I was the one'."

Const. Walton acknowledges that to a degree, he's hoping someone's conscience will prompt them to come forward with information that will finally reveal who was at the wheel of the car that struck Sheryl and Lynn. But he's also armed with new evidence.

When the case was re-opened, Sheryl's clothing was sent to the Centre of Forensic Sciences. Paint particles discovered on the clothing have led Const. Walton to conclude the car was most likely a red Ford or Mercury automobile manufactured in the 1960s. It's not exactly a smoking gun, but it's a lead, he said.

Const. Walton has been re-visiting people who have given statements to police in the past and is casting a wider net, hoping to hear from people who never came forward. He's even been distributing posters in communities in north Durham in hopes of reviving decades-old memories.

The passage of time, the officer said, does not lessen the gravity of the offence, or the pain it caused Sheryl's family.

"Even though it was long ago, we still want to hold the driver responsible," he said.

That person may be alive; maybe not. It's the truth that matters.

"It's important for the family that's had to live with this for 39 years," Const. Walton said.

Ms. Sprague also is tormented by the enduring mystery.

"It's always weighed on my mind," she said. "It really haunts me."

She feels the driver -- she refers to the person as "him" -- is still alive and carrying the secret.

"I hopes it's haunting him, too," Ms. Sprague said. "I really do."

morbidology.com/the-girl-in-the-cupboard-sanam-navsarka/

During her short life, Sanam suffered unimaginable cruelty and torture at the hands of Anwar and Zaman. She was beaten and battered, sometimes with a metal pole. When she cried out in pain or fear, she would be locked inside a dark cupboard even though she was terrified of the dark. Inside the cupboard were child-sized bloody handprints from Sanam who had desperately attempted to escape the darkness. Most of the time, Sanam wore soiled nappies that caused her bottom to bleed.

On one occasion, Anwar put Sanam in a tumble dyer and dumped her in the bin as Zaman looked on. If Sanam had an open wound, the couple would spray it with aftershave. Neighbors would later recollect that they frequently heard Anwar calling Sanam a “bastard” and often heard Sanam screaming and crying.

Due to the extensive abuse, Sanam was left in agony, unable to walk, use her hands or even breath properly.

In the weeks before Sanam’s murder, social worker Judyth Kenworthy, received a report from Jacqueline Peel, a woman who ran a home for vulnerable people. Peel told Kenworthy that Sanam was often riddled with bruises and that she believed she was being abused at home. She even told her that Sanam was kept locked in a cupboard at home. Despite this, Kenworthy decided not to act on this report and instead shrugged it off as Peel “tittle-tattling.”

When Sanam died on the 8th of May, 2008, Zaman and Anwar attempted to claim that she had drowned and stopped breathing after they left her alone in the bath for ten minutes. However, her autopsy revealed the disturbing truth.


There was no evidence of drowning. Instead, the pathologist discovered 107 separate injuries over Sanam’s little body, including broken arms and legs. Ultimately, she died when a fat embolism entered her bloodstream due to the untreated fractures in her thigh bones – one of which had been completely snapped.
On Anwar’s phone, police discovered a heartbreaking video he had taken of Sanam just the day before her death. In the video, Sanam is on the floor, having a fit or convulsion, caused by the fatty deposits in her blood. Despite the fact it was evident that Sanam was in pain and distress, neither Anwar or Zaman thought to call for help.1


Subhan Anwar was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 23 years. Zahbeena Zaman was cleared of her daughter’s murder but convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to nine years. During the sentencing phase, Judge Peter Thornton QC described Sanam’s death as “one of the worst imaginable cases,” adding that “bravely she tried to carry on with her injuries and all the while you ignored her desperate needs.”2

The social worker, Judyth Kenworthy, was suspended for two years for her failure to act and save Sanam.

A damning report revealed that she had “sought to distance herself from blame” by concealing “strong indicators of abuse.” The General Social Care Council also found that Kenworthy had made a conscious decision to omit key evidence from police who were investigating Sanam’s murder. Apparently when questioned by police, Kenworthy had claimed she never worked with children before. However, Kirklees Council said that was not the case and that Kenworthy had experience of working with both children and teenagers. In fact, she had been employed as a Family Placement officer for 18 years.3

On the 14th of February, two inmates at Long Lartin Prison barged their way into Anwar’s prison cell. Gary Smith and Lee Newell were both serving life sentences for murder. The two men held Anwar hostage with makeshift weapons. Over the course of around 40 minutes, they tortured Anwar before finally strangling him to death with a pair of tracksuit bottoms. “He’s gone, he’s with Allah,” said Newell to a prison guard.5

Gary Smith and Lee Newell were found guilty of the murder of Subhan Anwar and were ordered to spend the rest of their life in prison.

14-year-old Margaret Ellen Fox vanished en route to meet a stranger on June 24, 1974 in New Jersey. She hoped to make some money during her summer break and had taken out an ad in a local newspaper together with her cousin Lynne the previous week. ”BABYSITTERS – Experienced. Teen girls. Love kids. Work at your house. Call...”. Lynne was quickly contacted by a man who wanted her to babysit for him in Mount Holly, but her mom turned him down, not wanting her 11-year-old to work out of town. He then called Margaret, who got permission from her dad to take the job. The man called himself John Marshall and said he would pay her $40 a week to watch his 5-year-old son for a few hours on weekdays, starting on Friday, June 21.

She was to take the bus to Mount Holly, about 8 miles from her home on Penn Street in Burlington (just a few doors down from Lynne), where either he or his wife would pick her up in a red Volkswagen. He called again and told Margaret's dad, who answered the phone that time, that he had to reschedule due to the death of his mother-in-law. Judging by the man's voice, her dad thought he was around 35-45 years old. Margaret's trip to Mount Holly was postponed until Monday, June 24. He never gave his address.

So, on the 24th, one of her brothers accompanied her to a nearby bus stop where, at 8.40 AM, she boarded a bus to Mount Holly. He was the last family member to see her. She stepped off the bus at around 9.00 AM on Washington Street, just steps away from the corner of High and Mill streets where she and Marshall were supposed to meet. A witness saw her talking to a young man in a red sports car. He was later cleared of suspicion and Margaret was thought to have mistaken him for Marshall.

Margaret had been told to call home as soon as she arrived at Marshall's place but the call never came. When she failed to return home at around 2.30 PM like expected (she was supposed to get a ride back from either Marshall or his wife) her parents became seriously worried. Her mom called the number the man had provided and reached a payphone outside of an A&P supermarket in Lumberton, about a mile south of Washington Street. She proceeded to call various John Marshalls in the area and her husband searched for Margaret in Mount Holly. They reported her missing around 12.30 AM on June 25.

The assistant manager of the A&P grocery store where the payphone was located was named Marshall, either Jack or John or maybe both since Jack is a common nickname for John. Either way, he passed a polygraph and had an alibi. Coincidentally, Margaret's sister-in-law knew him and was friends with one of his daughters.

”A lot of” women reported being ”accosted” by a man in a red Volkswagen. A man driving a car matching that description had attempted to pick up a girl in Mount Holly in May. A sketch was released in August. A sex offender who had owned a red Volkswagen at the time and lived close to where Margaret was last seen was questioned and cleared four years later, though his alibi doesn't seem super solid to me. He was a ham radio operator and, according to the logbook he kept, had been on the radio with someone when Margaret arrived in Mount Holly. [EDIT: Turns out I'm full of * and that's actually about as good an alibi as one could hope to have at that time. Carry on.] He was ruled out along with 12 other persons of interest. A number of leads were pursued that amounted to nothing and the investigation dead-ended. It certainly didn't benefit from the rivalry and lack of cooperation between the different agencies involved in the case.

On June 28, four days after Margaret's disappearance and one day after it was first reported in the press, her mother received a bizarre call from an unknown man, who said: “$10,000 might be a lot of bread, but your daughter’s life is the buttered topping.” The audio was released only recently, after the FBI managed to enhance the quality of the recording.

The following day a letter arrived, repeating what the caller had said and instructing the parents to put the money in a box ”with blue wrapping (same as Margaret's blouse)." The sender claimed that ”Margaret is alright. We only tore her blouse and broke her glasses. Follow the instructions...” The color of Margaret's blouse had been reported. She appears to have had her glasses with her, but as far as I can tell that wasn't mentioned in the press, nor was she wearing glasses in the pictures that were released. Latent fingerprints were lifted off the letter but didn't match any of the ”military members, federal employees, and thousands of offenders whose prints were on file with the Burlington County Jail, Prosecutor’s Office and Mount Holly police.” As of 2017, the prints apparently couldn't be located. Margaret's dental records also went missing at some point.

Her parents quickly withdrew the money, but received no instructions on how to deliver it and two days later, on June 30, a second letter arrived that said (at least in part): ”$10,000 was a lot of bread. But your daughter’s life was the buttered topping.” Note the past tense. According to the FBI, the letter ”indicated that the ransom exchange was off because the parents had ”goofed” in making the arrangements.”

It ended with ”So Long Again” and the S, L and A were highlighted. SLA were the initials of the Symbionese Liberation Army, a terrorist organization famous for kidnapping Patty Hearst earlier that same year. They were not known to be active in New Jersey but were in the news around the time of Margaret's disappearance. It was never determined if the call and the letters were legit or a hoax.

A Queensland man systematically raped and burned a woman during three weeks of drug-induced violence that grew more brutal as her injuries worsened.

Nicholas John Crilley, 34, pleaded guilty to 54 offences, including grievous bodily harm, deprivation of liberty and torture, following the 23-day attack in June 2017.

His assaults left the woman, who was 22 at the time, so severely injured, paramedics initially thought she was dead, the Brisbane district court heard on Tuesday.

“[Crilley] subjected the [woman] to severe physical, psychological and sadistic violence,” prosecutor Sandra Cupina said.

It included violently sexually assaulting her on an almost daily basis, setting her on fire and pouring burning water on the woman’s genitals.

“[He] beat [her], would become quite sexually aroused and then rape her,” Cupina said.

Crilley also made the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, eat her own faeces and vomit, and told her to choose her method of death.

She suffered multiple broken bones, deep lacerations to her face and burns to 46% of her body.

“The tissue on part of her face was so severely infected it was also infested with maggots,” Cupina said.

“If she had not been treated in hospital she would have died.”

Crilley eventually called triple-zero before fleeing the Brisbane home where most of offending occurred.

He was taken into custody eight days later following a dramatic police chase involving several stolen cars.

Paramedics found the woman “on the brink of death” in a semi-conscious state and severely malnourished.

She was placed in an induced coma and spent eight weeks in hospital recovering, including learning to walk again.

Doctors placed metal plates into her face and amputated part of a finger – crushed by one of Crilley’s blows as she attempted to defend herself.

The woman also suffered severe internal bleeding due to the sexual violence she was subjected to and later learned she had fallen pregnant to her attacker.

“I have been disfigured both mentally and physically. It is something I would not wish on my worst enemies,” she said, reading her victim impact statement to the court.

She said people now looked at her as a “monster” because of her “horrific, very visible and predominantly irreversible” injuries.

“Every time I leave my home I am stared at. I do not see myself walking down an aisle and fulfilling a woman’s dream of being married in a white gown to a man she loves,” she said.

Cupina said Crilley’s violent attacks were sustained, brutal and vicious.

“As [the woman] became more injured, [Crilley] increased the methods he was using to harm her,” she said.

“First the boiling water, then the acetone, then setting her on fire.”

“The horror [she] would have been experiencing is almost unimaginable,” she said.

Defence lawyer Malcolm Harrison said Crilley was in a methylamphetamine-induced delusional state during the prolonged assault.

He said Crilley believed the woman had been part of a drive-by shooting that targeted him, but it was not based on reality.

“This is a dreadful and extremely serious example of violence against a woman,” he said. “The offences were sadistic in nature.”

However, Harrison reminded the court Crilley had called triple-zero.

“That is probably the one factor in his favour,” he said.

Crilley will be sentenced on 1 May. The crown has asked that he be jailed for life.

Dr Carey Q. Stanton never married and eventually left NYC behind to live on his family’s ranch on Santa Cruz Island in 1957. He was somewhat eccentric and on the rare occasions he had visitors over to the ranch he would follow a rigid schedule and expect his guests to adhere to it as well. Dinner would be served at 7:30pm, coffee and cookies at 8:30pm and he would promptly retire to bed at 9pm.

Stanton died on 8 December 1987 and was buried in the island’s private cemetery. His will stated that the ranch be left to the Nature Conservancy who would oversee activities on the island.In April 1990, a metal box was discovered in a shed on the ranch. Inside it were severely decomposed human remains that was basically just a heap of ashes. Alongside the remains were sets of false teeth dating back to the 50s, a clothing fastener dating back to the 40s and a diamond-studded ring dating back to before the Second World War. Tests were done on the fragments of bone found, and it was established the remains belonged to an elderly female who most likely died soon after the war.While Stanton was never believed to have been responsible for the woman’s death, it remains unclear why her remains were in a metal box on the ranch. She has also never been identified.

I fell down a rabbit hole after watching "Deadbug" cover this case on his "Lust Crimes Pt 4" youtube video.

A 9 year old girl is kidnapped and brutally murdered. The small time cops bungle the case after her body is found, mishandling evidence and then convincing the victim's family to change their own story to fit the cops "hunch" that the neighbor's son did the crime. (He was at work/heading home when the murder occured.) The neighbor is wrongly convicted after several trials, but DNA evidence frees him 3 years later.

According to Deadbug's video, the family went back to the crime scene and found more of her remains lying around as she had been gutted badly. The police dug her body back up to match the missing remains to the girl.

Oddly, almost all the articles I read online omit the little fact that her (adopted) brother admitted in court that he had been raping his sister with his friends since she was 2!

The case remains unsolved.

This case is pretty well known and well documented. It may very well be the worst case on record of Law Enforcement misfeasance and malfeasance. Not only did the perpetrator get away with it but an innocent man went to prison. The underlying problem with the case was that local law enforcement, that may very well have been equipped to handle the theft of farm equipment was totally out of its depth in a complex murder investigation.

Three family members connected to the brutal beating of a pregnant teenager who was raped and forced to miscarry her baby pleaded guilty to the crime and were sentenced to prison this week.
After the teen gave birth in the bathtub, her cousin put the stillborn baby into a bucket, and the family tried to burn the remains on a grill.
The victim, now 19, reported the attack in 2015.
The girl's brother, 24-year-old Robert Cayald, faces an aggravated sexual assault charge in the case. He was found incompetent to stand trial last year, and his case is pending.

Cayald is accused of raping his 13-year-old sister in August 2012. She became pregnant from the attack. When her relatives learned she was eight months' pregnant, they forced her to take birth control pills and cinnamon tablets to try to abort the baby.

When that didn't work, they held down the teen and took turns stomping on her pregnant belly.

During the attack, Cecila McDonald yelled at the teen, "*, you ain't about to get my kids taken away from me."
The teen and her younger sister had been sent to Dallas after their grandmother died to live with their aunt, Sharon Jones.


The girl was taken in "by people who promised to take care of her," prosecutor Rachel Burris said during the sentencing hearing. Judge Gary Stephens sentenced the trio.

"They held her down. They forced her to lay there while people stomped her," Burris argued. "I️t was savage."


They left the teen in a bathtub, where she lay bleeding, slipping in and out of consciousness, while her younger sister tried to care for her.

No one took her to the hospital or to visit a doctor. To treat the blood loss, the family gave her iron pills.

"She lost a child, and no one cared," Burris said. "That night the people who promised to love her ... left her."
After the teen gave birth in the bathtub, Cecila McDonald put the stillborn baby into a bucket, and the family tried to burn the remains on a grill. When that didn't work, Sharon Jones gave her son $25 to take care of it. He hid the remains in a bag in an unknown location.

Defense attorneys for the trio argued that the attack was a blip in otherwise law-abiding, good lives. They said the brother and sister and their mother were trying to protect their family.


They said the defendants had been part of Bible studies and classes in jail and should be granted leniency.

Defense attorney Regina Clark argued that Sharon Jones, the matriarch, kept her children out of trouble and asked that she be given probation.
