Help on Tele2, tariffs, questions

Some horrific deaths have unique photographs taken immediately after the incident or shortly before.

"The Most Beautiful Suicide"

Photographer Robert Wiles happened to be near the Empire State Building in New York, where he captured the controversial image, which was later nicknamed "The Most Beautiful Suicide." A young girl, Evelyn McHale, took her own life by jumping off the top floors of a building and landing on a UN limousine. In a note left before her death, the deceased said that she had abandoned her fiancé and that he would be better off without her, since she would not become a good wife to anyone.

Regina Kay Walters

The dying photo of 14-year-old Regina Kay Walters was recorded by serial maniac Robert Ben Rhodes, who some time before the murder put on the girl a dress, shoes and cut off her hair. Shortly after the incident, the police detained the suspect at the wheel of a truck, where a real torture chamber and the same camera were found in the trailer.

Christopher McCandless

This is the last image that traveler Christopher McCandless took of himself before heading out into the wilderness of Alaska. Very soon, the body of a man was found in an abandoned bus, and an autopsy found that McCandless was poisoned by the root of a poisonous plant he discovered.

Photo by Kevin Carter

A photojournalist from South Africa worked with a camera during the famine in the country in 1993 and captured a truly horrific picture. In the photo, a small child, exhausted by hunger, crawls to a food distribution point under the scorching sun and is pursued by a vulture that tracks down available prey. This is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo whose creator committed suicide at the age of 33 because he couldn't bear the guilt of not acting on the situation. The fact is that Kevin Carter could not approach the children due to the threat of infection.

Blanche Monnier

French woman Blanche Monnier was locked in a small windowless room by her mother for 25 years. All the time until the discovery in 1901, she lived in the waste of her own life and did not see the sun.

Reinaldo Dagza

A politician from the Philippines took a picture of them while relaxing with his family and captured the photo of his own killer, who had already aimed. They, as it turned out later, turned out to be a car thief, whom Reinaldo Dagsa once sent to jail.

John Lennon

Killer of famous British musician and band member The Beatles John Lennon is considered Mark David Chapman, who lit up with the artist in the photo a few hours before the incident. The only thing Chapman said was, "I thought I'd get his fame."

Massacre at Columbine High School

A couple of weeks before the Columbine murder in April 1999, a group photograph of students was taken, 12 of whom died. Some see the cruel prophecy of this tragedy in the picture in the upper left corner, where several teenagers simulate firing pistols at the camera.

Terror attack in Omagh

A few minutes before the terrorist attack in Omagh, which occurred on August 15, 1998 in Northern Ireland, a father and son were photographed near the red car, where the explosives were planted. As a result, 29 people died, but the family on the frame survived.

An ordinary photograph can be stored for many decades - it can be a photograph that shakes your faith in humanity, or an era-defining photograph, about which they will later say that "sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words." But the photos below may just leave you speechless.

1. Typical day in Omagh

On August 15, 1998, a car exploded in Omagh, Northern Ireland. The rebel organization IRA (Irish Republican Army) was behind this explosion, and it claimed the lives of 29 people, and 200 people were injured to varying degrees of severity. The explosion came at a time of "controversy" that arose during the ethno-nationalist conflicts in Northern Ireland. These conflicts continued for more than 30 years, and the explosion in Omagh killed the largest number of people.

The camera used to take the photograph presented here was recovered from the rubble of a building destroyed by the explosion. The man in this photo is standing in the middle of a quiet street, and rejoices. A second before the bomb exploded. This is one of the most poignant photos of all that have been published since the explosion in Omagh. Serenity, smiles on the faces of people who are unaware of a mortal threat, all this makes this picture simply heartbreaking. Before us is forever frozen in time, the moment preceding the massacre of unsuspecting people.

2. Last minutes of Regina Kay Walters

Regina Kay Walters was a 14 year old girl from Pasadena, Texas. She was the victim of serial killer Robert Ben Rhodes. She was one of his three proven victims (although Rhodes himself claims to have killed many more), and he decided to finally play with her. Rhodes cut her hair, put a dress on her, and took a picture. It turned out the image of a man in trouble, the one you see here. Rhodes was captured in September 1992, but before that he managed to kill two more people. He was sentenced to life in prison without the right to parole, and to this day is in one of the prisons in Texas.

A photo of a young girl in the last moments of her life, changed, with cropped hair, dressed in an incomprehensible what, and left alone with such a monster as Rhodes - it is very hard to look at this. The camera impassively showed the despair on the face of this girl. He showed us a picture of disgusting torture: when the executioner plays with his victim, like a cat with a mouse. This is a photo that captures the forever broken human psyche.

3. Assassination of Reinaldo Dagza

Reinaldo Dagza was a Filipino politician who was killed in an armed attack during New Year's Eve 2011. The murder of this man gained worldwide fame thanks to a photograph showing Dagsa's family. At that moment, when Dagsa was photographing the family, the killer was also in the field of view of the camera, aiming directly at the politician. This picture was later used by Dagsa's wife as evidence, thanks to this picture, two men were arrested almost immediately, since the police decided that they were directly related to the murder.

This photograph seems bewitching, but it is also the embodiment of the most absurd: a man, 35 years old, at the very beginning of the new year, photographs his loving family, and at the same time photographs his own death.

4. Tragedy on the River Beas

On June 8, 2014, 24 students from Hyderabad, India, died while on a trip when a huge wave of water surged upstream from the Larji hydroelectric power plant on the Beas River. VNR VJIET engineering students were on an educational tour of Himachal Pradesh. They were driving from Shimla to Manali when the bus stopped so the students could get off and take some pictures on the banks of the Beas River. At that moment, the floodgates at the hydroelectric power plant opened without any warning, and a flood of water caught a group of 24 students by surprise, literally sweeping them off the shore in an instant. This happened due to the criminal negligence of the station staff.

This photo was supposed to be just another picture taken as a memento by a student during another exhausting study trip, but instead, the photo captures the last moment of a whole group of young people's lives.

5. "Doomed"

The photo you see captures the final moments of Ki Suk Han, a 58-year-old father and husband. He was pushed under the train by a homeless man named Naeem Davis, with whom Khan had recently argued about something. According to eyewitnesses, Khan was intoxicated due to a quarrel with his wife, and tried to exchange something with Davis. Davis, in turn, attributes his aggressive actions to several reasons at once: it could be drugs, voices in his head, or even the loss of his boots (according to him, they were very good boots). Either way, Davis claimed that Khan didn't leave him alone, and that he had to respond to Khan's harassment accordingly. And although Davis constantly repeated his "not guilty", he was charged with premeditated murder. Regardless of the reasons that led to the death of Khan, this photo will forever remain a man staring into the face of his own death.

6Bud Dwyer Public Suicide

Robert Bud Dwyer was a Pennsylvania Republican politician in the US Senate. He has been doing this for over 10 years. He later became chief treasurer of the state of Pennsylvania. He worked there until the day of his death: January 22, 1987. One day, Dwyer was accused of taking a bribe and called a press conference. He was supposed to announce his resignation there. If found guilty, he faced up to 55 years in prison and a $300,000 fine. Years later, a former lawyer named William Smith admitted to lying under oath when he accused Dwyer of taking bribes.

The press conference was broadcast live throughout the state of Pennsylvania. After reading part of his pre-prepared speech, Dwyer suddenly stopped reading, and began to distribute some envelopes to his employees. After handing over the last envelope, Dwyer pulled out a gun and said, "If this offends you in any way, please leave the room." As his friends and work colleagues later said, he said this with a slight stutter, and then pulled the trigger. It happened before they could stop him, and he died right in the hall. If for some reason you want to see a live video of Dwyer's suicide, you can easily find it on Youtube.

7. Death of Travis Alexander

You may have already seen this photo: 30-year-old Travis Alexander takes a shower. After that, he will be brutally murdered by his ex-girlfriend named Jodi Arias. When the murder took place, this photo was broadcast on many news channels.

In 2008, Travis was found dead at his home in Mesa, Arizona by friends. He was found on the floor of his bathroom with 27 stab wounds on his body, 1 gunshot wound to the head, and his throat had been cut. Arias initially denied any involvement in Travis' murder, stating that Travis was likely killed during the robbery. But later she changed her testimony, and confessed to having killed Travis in self-defense. Jody Arias is currently in jail awaiting sentencing. The trial is to take place on September 8, 2014.

8 CCTV shot of James Bulger

In February 1993, John Venables and Robert Thompson, both ten years old, killed two-year-old James Bulger after kidnapping him from the Strand shopping center in Liverpool (UK). The details of this murder set off a wave of panic throughout England, leaving parents to wonder what their children were capable of. A CCTV footage of James Bulger being taken away by his killers was broadcast on news channels for several months. And this was the last opportunity to look at a two-year-old child in his last hours.

Venables and Thompson lured Bulger away from their mother, and then walked with him for 4 kilometers, hand in hand, along the railroad tracks, away from the mall. On the way, the children were stopped several times by passers-by, asked if they were lost and if they needed help. They also advised the children to take home their "little brother" who couldn't stop crying. James's body was found two days after his death, tied to rails on a railroad line to Walton. His injuries were horrendous, and after media coverage of this fact, a wave of indignation arose in society due to the lenient sentence against two juvenile delinquents. Venables and Thompson were to spend 8 years in educational colonies and receive psychiatric care until they were 18 years old. And then they were released. Their names were changed and they received care and security guarantees from the government. After all, the government is constantly looking for the right people, isn't it?

9. Mark Chapman met John Lennon

The day John Lennon died, the Earth stood still and wept. In cities around the world, grief-stricken fans and musicians united and held a worldwide funeral for one man. It was the love that Lennon gave to people. It was a musical relationship. A month before his death, Lennon released Double Fantasy, a long-awaited album. It was his first solo album, which was the result of five years of work. And it also became his last album.

On December 8, 1980, Mark David Chapman shot and killed John Lennon at the entrance to The Dakota (the building where Lennon lived) in New York. Lennon was targeted by the crazy Chapman because of his fame. And he was only killed because he was able to oust other potential victims on Chapman's list, such as Johnny Carson and George Scott. "If he was a little less famous than the three or four people on my list, he wouldn't have been shot," Chapman told police.

This picture was taken about an hour before Lennon was killed. The quiet, unassuming fan waiting for Lennon's autograph in this picture is none other than Mark David Chapman. He was Lennon's killer, and, unfortunately, he was the last person to be photographed with Lennon alive.

10. Two brothers on vacation

In 1975, Michael and Sean McQuilken were just two smiling guys on a family vacation in California. Along with their sister, Maria, they posed for a photo with their hair standing on end. They posed and laughed at the strangeness of this situation. Other vacationers in the area did much the same. This photo was taken atop Moro Rock, California national park Sequoia, and a few minutes later the brothers were struck by lightning, the impact of which was terrible, but, contrary to popular belief, did not kill anyone.

This photo has been shown countless times over the years. It served as a public service announcement to get people to follow safety rules during a thunderstorm. The photo with the happy, carefree brothers very eloquently hints at a huge danger to life: an average of 24,000 people die every year from lightning strikes in the world. It is probably for this reason that this photo is now as shocking as it was before.

Mole Man: Man spent 32 years digging the desert

Before killing his victims, he brutally tortured and raped them in his truck, which he equipped with a special torture room. Rhodes' travels and killer streak are the subject of a book by Alva Busch called "Roadside Prey", who at one time personally conducted his own investigation. Alva Bush wrote a book about Rhodes almost ten years after the events, by which time Rhodes was behind bars.

Robert Ben Rhodes in custody

Date of Birth:
November 22, 1945
Profession:
Truck driver (truck driver)
Motive:
Rape / Torture
Number of victims:
3+
Kill period:
1989 - 1990
Date of arrest:
April 1, 1990
Kill method:
Choking/Pistol shooting
Scene of crimes:
Texas, Illinois, USA
Status:
Life imprisonment

Rhodes is a former truck driver. Investigators believe that a torture room was set up in the cab of his truck, in which he brutally and systematically tortured the women he held captive before killing them.

Robert Ben Rhodes

To be honest, an article in the Tucson Weekly in 1996 contained lines that made the blood run cold. A police investigator said that in early 1990, Rhodes kidnapped and killed an average of three women a month. He always had a briefcase with torture items on the road, according to the data in the article. The exact number of victims is still unknown.

Alva Bush believes that Rhodes roamed the roads for years, using his truck to satisfy his lust by torturing and killing people. His bloody journey came to an end one day in 1990 when an Arizona police officer stopped to examine a truck parked on the highway with its headlights on.

Alva Busch: "When the officer got on the running board to look inside the truck, he saw a handcuffed woman in the cab with a horse bit in her mouth." A police officer arrested Rhodes and rescued the woman, who had been held captive on the highway for many days.

Scott Zyskowski

In 1990, 25-year-old Patricia Candice Walsh and her husband, Douglas Scott Zyskowski, both from Seattle, were hitchhiking in Texas when Rhodes picked them both up on the road. Prosecutors believe he killed Ziskowski and dumped his body in January 1990 in Texas. Utah officials believe that for the next seven days, Walsh was held captive by Rhodes before he shot her multiple times and buried the body.

A month after Walsh's death, Rhodes took in 14-year-old Regina Walters and Ricky Lee Jones, a couple in love from Texas. He killed Walters in Illinois and was later convicted for that crime. On September 11, 1992, Rhodes pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. Jones' body has never been found.

Walsh's body was found almost a year later by a farmer and deer hunter who discovered a decomposed corpse 22 miles south of Fillmore in October 1990, she had already been dead for several months when she was found. Examination confirmed through dental records that it was 14-year-old Regina Walters from Pasadena, Texas, who was last seen in February 1990 near Houston with her boyfriend, Ricky Lee Johnson.

Even after the body was found, Walsh was considered an unknown for 13 years, and her remains were stored in the basement of the Millard County Sheriff's Office. But with the help of a set of random circumstances, Millard's detectives were finally able to identify and identify her in 2003. Then 59-year-old Robert Ben Rhodes was linked to DNA.

After identifying Walsh, the next step in the investigation went much faster. The police found enough evidence to link the bastard Rhodes to the crime. By then, Rhodes was already serving a life sentence in Illinois for murder.

Last photo of 14-year-old Regina Kay Walters before she was killed by Robert Ben Rhodes.

This picture was a key piece of evidence and proof. In the photo above, the man behind the camera is serial killer Robert Ben Rhodes filming one of his victims moments before she takes her last breath.

Rhodes' bloody story itself came to an end on April 1, 1990, in Arizona, when police stumbled upon Rhodes' trailer truck while he was in the process of torturing another woman. He was convicted and sent to prison. But before he had to be released in Arizona, officials in Illinois they filed their case. Rhodes was sent to Illinois, where he stood trial and was again found guilty and convicted.

Regina Kay Walters died at the hands of Robert Ben Rhodes

In 2005, Rhodes was extradited from the Pontiac, Illinois Correctional Center to the Utah Correctional Center to stand trial for the murder of Walsh. If found guilty, prosecutors then said they would seek to see Rhodes given the death penalty.

Based on the wishes of the Walsh and Ziskowski family, Utah dropped its case in 2006 and sent Rhodes back to Illinois to await Texas authorities, who filed two counts of murder and were also seeking the death penalty for the maniac. Under Texas law, prosecutors will be able to sentence Rhodes at trial for both deaths at once. In Utah, only Walsh's murder can be considered.

Although Alva Bush and other researchers believe that there were many victims, Rhodes was convicted of only one murder - Patricia Candace Walsh. He is serving a life sentence without parole in Illinois. If found guilty in Utah, he could face the death penalty.

A simple photograph can sit in a closet for decades, gathering dust as the world around us changes. But there are also pictures that make us reconsider our faith in humanity. There is a saying that “A picture can be worth a thousand words”, and in this case it is completely true. These shots were captured shortly before the tragedy happened.

A typical day in Oma

On August 15, 1998, a car bomb attack took place in Omagh, Northern Ireland. The IRA group was responsible for this. 29 people were killed and more than 200 injured. The bombing was due to a local ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted over 30 years. Undermining a car in Oma was the bloodiest of all the time of this conflict. The camera with this photo was buried under a pile of rubble, capturing life on a quiet street in the moments before the bomb went off. One of the more touching photographs went around the world. Calmness, smiles, an unknown threat - a really frightening shot. Nothing foretells a massacre - in this picture frozen in time, everything will happen without the knowledge of people.

Latest footage of Regina Walters

Regina Kay Walters was a 14-year-old girl from Pasadena, Texas who was murdered by the notorious serial killer Robert Ben Rhodes. She turned out to be one of three victims of a maniac who treated Regina in a special way. Rhodes cut her hair, dressed her in a black dress and took pictures. The one that stands out the most is the one you see above. Robert Ben Rhodes was caught in September 1992, taking two more lives in the process. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole and remains incarcerated in a Texas prison to this day. The photo of this young girl in the last moments of her life is literally saturated with fear and despair. The girl looks at the torturer in horror, with despair on her face, which makes this photo a disgusting demonstration of human torture, like a cat playing with a mouse. The image forever captured the breaking of the soul of one person.

Photo by Reinaldo Dagza

Reinaldo Dagza actually filmed his own killer, as well as his own death. He was a Filipino politician who was assassinated on New Year's Eve 2011. His murder gained international notoriety for a photograph taken with his family just a second before the shooting. The photo also captures the killer himself, with a gun in his hands. Dagsa was taking a picture of his wife, daughter and grandmother when the shooter decided to make an assassination attempt. The photo was used as the main piece of evidence to jail two criminals, although it was believed that there were more. This photo is proof of the absolute absurdity of life: a man who was only 35 years old, at the very beginning of the new year, takes a picture of his loving family and at the same time sees his own death in the lens...

Tragedy on the Beas

On June 8, 2014, 24 engineering students from Hyderabad, India died during their journey when there was a sudden release of water at the Larji hydroelectric power station on the Beas River. The bus with the students stopped so that they could take photos on the banks of the River Beas. Without warning, the open floodgates and the flow of water took the group by surprise, killing all the students instantly. This incident was caused by gross negligence on the part of the workers at the Larji Hydroelectric Plant. This photo was supposed to be a simple reminder, a memory of a trip with friends from college. Instead, it became a harrowing look at the final moments of a group of friends.

Doomed

The above photo and headline were very eloquently used by the New York Post. These are the final moments of Ki-Suk Yong, a 58-year-old father and husband who is pushed under an incoming train by homeless Naiem Davis. Previously, a quarrel ensued between them, the reasons for which are not fully known. Naem Davis blames multiple causes for his aggressive actions - voices in his head, drugs, and even a lost pair of shoes. He claims that Ki-Suk Yeon would not leave him alone and that he acted according to the circumstances. After all these excuses, the "not guilty" Davis was charged with second-degree murder and sent to prison. Regardless of the cause of death, this photo will forever remain a sad reminder of the unexpected nature of death.

Suicide of Budd Dwyer

Robert Budd Dwyer has been a politician and Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate for over 10 years. He also served as Treasurer of Pennsylvania until the day of his death on January 22, 1987. After being convicted of bribery, Dwyer called a press conference to announce his resignation. After all the accusations, Dwyer courageously accepted a 55-year sentence and a hefty $300,000 fine. In his eyes, this was an unfair punishment, as his ex-attorney William T. Smith admitted many years later. He said he lied under oath, accusing Dwyer of taking bribes. The press conference was broadcast live to television viewers throughout Pennsylvania. After reading part of the speech, Dwyer stopped reading and began handing out envelopes to his staff members. After the final envelope, he pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head before anyone could intervene. If for some reason you want to watch the video of Budd Dwyer's death, it's on Youtube.

Death of Travis Alexander

This is a photo of Travis Alexander, 30, taking a shower seconds before he was brutally murdered by his ex-girlfriend, Jodi Arias. In 2008, friends found Travis Alexander dead at his home. He was found in the shower, with 27 stab wounds, a slashed throat, and a gunshot wound to the head. Arias initially denied killing Alexander, alleging a robbery, but she later changed her testimony, alleging self-defense murder.

Photo by James Bulger

In February 1993, ten-year-old John Venables and Robert Thompson murdered two-year-old James Bulger after kidnapping him from shopping center in Liverpool. The details of the case sent shockwaves of panic across England, forcing parents to rethink their children's upbringing. This photo of little James Bulger being taken away by his killers has graced the news channels for months and will forever be the last picture of this little one. Venables and Thompson stole James Bulger from their mother and walked with him, hand in hand, to the railway embankment 4 kilometers. On the way, the boys were repeatedly stopped by caring people. People thought they were lost or in need of help as James didn't stop crying out loud. They were even offered to help take the "little brother" home. James was found two days after his death, on a railway line in Walton. His horrific injuries were covered by the media, who were vocal about the leniency of the court's decision regarding the incident. Venables and Thompson remained in institutions for young offenders for eight years, receiving mental health care until the age of 18. They were subsequently released, the government took care of them and guaranteed their safety.

Mark Chapman and John Lennon

On the day John Lennon died, the Earth seemed to stop and plunge into mourning. In cities around the world, grief-stricken fans united and held mass funerals. It was an expression of the love that John Lennon sought to instill in people - a kind of musical affinity. Just one month before his death, John released "Double Fantasy" - the long-awaited album, which has been waiting for five whole years. This was his final album. On December 8, 1980, Mark David Chapman shot John Lennon at the entrance to the Dakota (the building where Lennon lived in New York). Crazy Mark Chapman decided to kill Lennon because of his fame. He originally had a roster of several people, but Champen struck out Johnny Carson and George Q. Scott. “If he was less famous than three or four other people on the list, he wouldn't have been killed,” Chapman told police. This photo was taken hours before John Lennon was assassinated. The quiet, unassuming fan waiting for his autograph in the picture is none other than Mark David Chapman. Along with being the killer, he was, unfortunately, also the last person to be photographed with Lennon alive.

brothers on vacation

In 1975, Michael and Sean McQuilken, two smiling San Diego natives, were vacationing in California. Together with their sister Mary, they took pictures against the background of the beginning thunderstorm and laughed at their tousled hair, like many other people nearby. Seconds after this picture was taken at Moro Rock in Sequoia National Park, the boys were struck by lightning and seriously injured. Contrary to popular belief, lightning did not kill them. This image has been used countless times over the years, mainly as social advertisement to draw attention to the danger of lightning. The photo of the happy, carefree faces of these two brothers painfully hints at a life-threatening element that should not be underestimated. It is lightning that causes 24,000 deaths a year worldwide.

It is no secret that it is naive and unsafe to expect something good from murderous maniacs. The inner demons whisper wild and terrible things in their heads. Although nothing human is alien to them - treat a little boy with candy and pat on a blond head before being tortured to death and cut into pieces. Or take a photo of the victim for memory, not yet suspecting that this picture will be farewell for her.

In general, killers take photos of their victims quite often. Like a hunter, for whom the aerobatics is to capture the still living “game” for history on their own camera, the maniacs earnestly click the shutter so that later, looking through the printed silent testimonies of their inhuman deeds, they again revel in their own power over the fate of the unfortunate victim with a shudder of delight . However, there is undoubtedly a benefit from such posturing - and the evidence base after the capture of the scoundrels is wider, and the relatives of the victims get the opportunity to absolutely accurately find out the truth about the last hours of the life of their missing loved ones.

What kind of photos from the masters of pain and horror are present in the treasury of forensic science today? Let's take a look at some of them.

Rodney Alcala - hippie killer with a camera

The widest collection of photos of the victims belongs to an amateur photographer and part-time American strangler Rodney Alcala, who committed atrocities from 1971 to 1979 and took the lives of seven people under proven articles. Given the abundance of images, the estimated number of victims of the Dating Game Killer could be as high as 130 people! An elderly photographer with the appearance of a good-natured hippie offered the future victim a photo shoot, then playfully handcuffed him or tritely stunned him with a piece of steel rail, and then strangled him. Brought to life and again strangled. And so for several hours, each time peering intently into the eyes of his victim, from which the spark of life slowly slipped away.

Like many American serials, Alcala was repeatedly arrested, but decades could stop his successful “harvest” only at the very end of the seventies of the last century. An inhuman sentenced to death several times, one of whose victims was cynically raped with a nail hammer, was released due to casual features. legal system United States and received a final verdict only in 2010 (!)

Due to the current moratorium on the death penalty, he is still alive and does not deny himself the attention of journalists and various fabulists-biographers, in a Washington prison.

John Wayne Gacy - a clown who liked to be photographed with victims

It is not necessary to strictly condemn people suffering from Coulrophobia - the fear of clowns. Perhaps they have good reason for this, which was given by a gay, rapist and killer clown in one bottle, John Wayne Gacy. This sick-headed bastard has come up with a stage persona that is perfect for disguising his inclinations as charity events, sneaking up on his future victims unnoticed. On account of the bloody "circus" more than thirty young men, whom he raped and strangled.

A cheerful children's clown named Pogo repeatedly advertised young people for unskilled contract construction jobs. The careless victim was stunned, tied up and became the object of sexual games with a deadly ending. Once, convinced of the complete failure law enforcement and his own impunity, Gacy lured two young men to his home. The clown buried them with enthusiasm and fantasy, in the 69 position, putting each member of his brother in misfortune into his mouth.

The seventies of the last century in the United States turned out to be very productive for serials. Gacy, who took life from 1972 to 1978, was nevertheless executed in May 1994 by injecting “death serum” into a vein.

Arnold Corll - Last Photo for Candy

And again the seventies. Between 1970 and 1973, the owner of a Houston Height candy factory provided free candy to about thirty male children and teenagers under 20. None of them endured such generosity - having got to Arnold Corll's house, the victims were tortured, bullied, followed by rape. At the end of a boring evening, Col's accomplices - David Owen Brusk and Elmer Wayne Henley Jr., who also participated in the bacchanalia, helped in strangling the unfortunate, or shot them in the head with a 22-caliber pistol.

A photograph of a child handcuffed next to a tool box for torture demonstrates the horror and desperation of the victim, who realized the whole disastrous situation in which she was not lucky enough to find herself.

Robert Ben Rhodes - trucker photographer

A photo of 14-year-old Regina Kay Walters circled the world as the last dying image of a young, slender brunette in love who became the victim of Robert Ben Rhodes, a serial Texas killer who worked as a truck driver.

Rhodes even equipped a special torture chamber in his truck, which he repeatedly used from 89 to 90 of the last century. The exact number of victims of the driver of "hell on wheels" is not known - experts who have studied Rhodes' routes believe that he killed about three times a month.

Rhodes was detained by accident by a police officer who decided to check a suspicious truck on the side of the road. This made it possible to save the last victim of the maniac, hobbled, with a horse bit in his mouth, whom Rhodes had raped over the past few days. Regina is not so lucky.

Harvey Murray Glatman - camera nerd

Another "professional" photographer who created deadly collages with fashion models dreaming of being on the cover of a detective novel. Strangled after repeatedly raping four girls with an ordinary household rope, the bespectacled photographer still kept his word - photographs of the victims fell into the hands of detectives, however, such a ending would hardly suit the girls themselves.

Taking advantage of the impotence of the victims, Harvey raped the victim at gunpoint, took another photo, then raped again, receiving ecstasy from the horror and pain of a helpless beauty. The murderer with a camera managed to commit three murders in a row, but the next chosen victim gives the puny photo-esthete a “bang”, takes away the gun and hands the scoundrel into the hands of the cops who have arrived on call. In November 1958, the district court gives the talented paparazzi a breath of stale air in the gas chamber, and photos of several of his victims will forever fill up the archives of the world's criminalists.
