4.“The 2011 Norway attacks — in which a guy single-handedly killed 77 people (8 by bombing and 69 by gunfire) — were in my town. Almost all of them were teenagers.”
5.“I almost got into a fistfight with a woman in a parking lot. A month later, she poisoned her entire family. Here’s what happened: I was walking along a road, and she pulled up on me while coming out of a driveway. I said, ‘I’m walking here!’ and she threw an empty cup at me but missed. I had a spork in my hand, so I threw that at her and missed, too. She then jumped out of her car and came charging at me. I had a bag of chicken wings (hence the spork), and I planted my feet, planning to go at her with the bag of wings if it came down to it. She jumped back in the car and drove off as I called her every evil name in the book. A month later, I saw my hometown’s name on CNN, with the headline, “Woman Poisons Entire Family.” Just under that was a picture of the woman I got the confrontation with. She killed like five family members because she was under the influence of some kind of cult or something.”

7.“This happened to my coworker, actually. She was hanging out with a guy friend, and I know for a fact they weren’t sleeping with each other — they were genuinely just friends. Her fiancé broke into the friend’s apartment and brutally stabbed and murdered her, and completely fucked the friend’s arm up. I remember the day I went to work and one of my coworkers read the news article and broke down.”

I’d put the Adrian Lim murders as the most memorable one, because it fascinated me as I was growing up.

14.“A doctor from the town I grew up in went on trial for purposefully poisoning/over-medicating his patients. He was acquitted, but this was in the ’60s, when convictions were much more challenging to get. Most people believe he did it.

16.“The Yogurt Shop Murders. Four teenage girls were murdered in a yogurt shop around closing time one evening in 1991 in Austin, Texas. To this day, it remains unsolved after a series of weird police fuckups and arrests. It would be a huge deal if it happened today for sure, but back then, Austin was much smaller and more of a quirky college town than the city it is now, so lots of people had some kind of connection to them.”
17.Lastly, “A group of assholes broke into a house where a family of three kids, their two parents, and one grandmother lived. They tied everyone down and shot them in the back of their heads execution style, from oldest to youngest. For some reason, they ran out of bullets before killing the youngest kid, so they took him to their van, slit his throat, and threw him over a bridge. Luckily, the kid survived and went to the police, and the idiots got arrested. Turns out, one of them was renting a house from the family’s father, and he just didn’t want to pay rent, and that’s why they did it.”
