Elnora Epperly - The deadliest female mass murderer in American history

Elnora Epperly - one of the worst mass murderers in American history and one of the most prolific female murderers as well. Location: Davenport Iowa. Date: January 7, 1950 - “St. Elizabeth‘s Hospital Fire”

Elnora Epperly was born on November 2, 1927. She would later marry a man named John Epperly. Elnora would display distressing signs and was diagnosed with schizophrenia I believe. She was committed to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, a location that treated mentally ill women.

On the night of January 7, 1950, a fire broke out in the hospital that caused panic in the city of Davenport. Firefighters rushed to the scene to help battle the flames. A firefighter recounted remembering a patient screaming for help as the fire soon spread. After the fire was stopped, they went in to see the damage. 40 patients succumbed to fire as well as a nurse who tried to help the patients.

That evening John Epperly reluctantly called police to tell of his wife’s confession. She was the one who set the fire. She had pestered him to tell authorities she was the arsonist. Elnora had a habit of confessing to things she didn’t even do and her husband brushed this confession off. But Elnora persisted and he finally called. Elnora was brought in and was soon charged with 41 counts of first degree murder and faced the death penalty by hanging. As police interviewed her, she immediately shut down - an odd thing to do if she was adamant she set the fire. Police tried to question John about Elnora‘s confession, but she threatened to divorce him if he spoke a word of what she said. Nevertheless the confession was told: On the night of the fire, Elnora’s paranoia had gotten to her. She believed her husband was being attacked and needed to save him. Earlier the John had given Elnora his lighter so when the nurses allowed the patients to smoke, she could. She had hidden the lighter from the nurses view and smuggled it back in her room. She torched the curtains in her room to get the attention of nurses so they could free her. It worked as one went in to allow Elnora to get out. Elnora bolted the second the door was open and made a run for, cutting herself in the process.

Police were still skeptical, and the went to the crime scene to see if what she was saying was true. The police found out where the fire started was from Elnora’s room. They later found the glass she cut herself on with her blood on it. Laying in the rubble of the hospital, they found the lighter - It was initialed “John Epperly”. Their findings did confirm, Elnora was the one who set the fire.

Elnora was facing a trial, but the judge ruled her incompetent to stand trial, and admitted her in a mental hospital. They kept the evidence in case she was found competent to stand trial.

It is unknown what happened to her in the mean time, but finding her obituary, she had at least one child with John and multiple grandchildren. It was said she loved to garden, play with her grandchildren, and watch Politics on television. She died on February 29, 2016.

Her case is fascinating but when viewed, it can be polarizing. Even though she had schizophrenia and paranoia, it appeared she knew how wrong her actions were setting the fire by threatening to divorce her husband. She knew right from wrong when she did this. Her case is similar to that of Roger Kingsley Dean - uncaring to those who may be affected by her actions and caring about herself. She is the reckless mass murderer.

The fire is the worst act of mass murder in the history of Iowa as well as the 10th worst mass murder in American history. It is also one of the largest loss of female life in American history. Elnora is also one of the few deadly mass murderers to face some type of Justice - a potential trial. Only Julio Gonzalez, Jack Gilbert Graham, Andrew Zimmer, and Patrick Crusius along with her are the only few who face the consequences of their actions. She also got away with the crime as well, as it appeared she was released from the mental hospital and got to have a family later on in her life.

What are your thoughts on this?

A sad and interesting case: Serial killer moms

These are a list of serial killer moms I could find. In a depressing reality, these women are serial killers and their victims are their own children. Their main method of murder is strangling or smothering.

Top half are one who hide their babies away leaving them to decompose in odd places.

Lower half are ones who disguise their babies deaths as SIDS or any natural death.

Top Half from left to right: Megan Huntsman, Michele Kalina, Jessica Mauthe, Dominique Cottrez, Andrea Giesbrecht, and Diane O’Dell.

Characteristics: Have their babies born in secret, before smothering or strangling them right after they were born and dispose of them quickly in cruel and unusual places. Few travel with their babies’s remains after they move to a new home. Often times they forget to dispose of the babies’s corpses leading to their downfall and getting caught when someone discovers the grisly sight. Places where their babies were located: Megan; Her garage, Michele; her closet, Jessica; inside her house’s wall, Dominique; her garden, Andrea; a U-Haul storage facility, Diane; a storage shed.

Lower Half from left to right: Waneta Hoyt, Brittany Pilkington, Maxine Robinson, Marybeth Tinning, Deborah Fornuto, Marie Noe.

Characteristics: Murder their babies and disguise it as SIDS or as natural causes. Their main weapon of choice are the babies’s blanket, pillow, or their own hands to smother their children. They usually confess Immediately or years later or are caught when the babies death’s are suspicious.

They kill over a period of time from about a few months to years before they commit the unthinkable. Their motives range from having trouble to being a mother or depression.

Charles Lawson and Ethel Geller Yeldem - Possible Copycat?

On December 25, 1929, Charles Lawson would commit one of the most infamous mass murders and familicides in American history. He gunned down and slaughtered his wife and their 6 children. Before the rampage, he took them to a clothing store and bought them nice outfits to wear before taking a family photo- Which was rare for the time. He then sneaked up on each his family members before hunting them down. He later committed suicide.

Less than 5 months later on May 6, 1930, Ethel Geller Yeldem would commit one of the worst mass shootings and mass murders in Ohio’s History. She gunned down 6 of her 10 children by shooting them in the heart. One of her daughters saw this and escaped screaming “Murder! murder!” But Ethel dragged her back in and killed her. Ethel then tried to commit suicide, but survived her attempt, only to succumb to her wounds days later. Before then Ethel took her kids out and bought them nice clothes like Charles did, and even took a family photo with her 10 children- Rare as well for a family as big as hers- they weren’t necessarily doing well financially. She then sneaked up upon them when they were asleep and murdered them.

Was Ethel inspired by Charles? Although their motives were different - with Ethel’s being more or less a twisted version of a merciful murder Since her life was garbage. But she did the exact same thing Charles Lawson did. If so, she‘s possibly the first copycat mass shooter or copycat family annihilator.

Serial Killers that are Identical- Megan Huntsman and Michele Kalina

Megan Huntsman and Michele Kalina: Two Neonaticide serial killers who murdered their own babies right after giving birth to them and hiding their bodies in parts of their homes. Megan’s took place in Utah while Michele’s was in Pennysylvania.

Megan and Michele are some of the most identical in crime serial killers in America.

They both were mothers who murdered their babies right after they were born and concealed them in desolate parts of their homes: The garage for Megan and the closet for Michele. Their methods of disposing of the bodies was placing them in various containers they could find in their homes and meticulously sealing them up. They had the same fault of not disposing of the babies’s corpse’s and forgetting the bodies. Eventually, they both had relatives who wanted to clean out the spaces due to the clutter (Megan’s ex-husband and Michele’s daughter) only to discover the grisly scene of multiple corpses of babies. Both even started committing their crimes in the same year: 1996. They somehow successfully hidden all of their pregnancies from their husbands (and gave birth in their bathrooms) without anyone noticing even though both were clearly pregnant. They also had children they let live during their killing cycle. Megan had a daughter she eventually raised, and Michelle had a baby she put up for adoption. Between 1996 and 2010 they gave birth to about 6 babies each and murdered them before stuffing their bodies in whatever they found in their him and placing them in the garage/closet so the bodies can’t be Found.

The two were eventually caught, and gave the same dumbfounded look in their mugshots. They even attributed their actions for their alcohol addiction.

Megan confessed to the crimes while Michele was more unwilling with her claiming all were stillborn except one who moved. They were eventually sentenced to lengthy jail terms and are still in prison.

Australian Female Mass murderer - Barbara Anne Wyrzykowski

First slide: The car, second slide: Barbara, third slide her children/her victims; Mark Goodall, 8; Sarah and Luke Goodall (Twins), 5; Jessie Wyrzykowski, 4; and Jayde Wyrzykowski, 1.

She was 25 years old. She was from the town of Carlise and was the wife to Travis Goodall a worker. She was employed at McDonald’s where she worked countless sleepless shifts. It appeared both Travis and Barbara worked full time to support their family. On July 3rd, 1999, Barbara-Anne Wyrzykowski drove her five children in her toyota tarago into the desolate bushlands of Karragullen national park before hooking up a hose to the car exhaust and gassing herself and her children. The murders occured on Mark’s 8th birthday. He had enjoyed a day yesterday with his father playing the NES and received 100$ as a gift from him. Travis hadn’t known about the murders until he saw his wife‘s van on the news. It devastated him. Later he found a suicide note she had left. Her motive was sleep deprivation, depression, and parental burnout.

This was the worst murder suicide and worst mass murder in Western Australia’s history until Peter Miles committed the Osmington Shooting almost 20 years later. This event was also one of the largest loss of child life in Australia’s History (Behind Cairns Child massacre, Hope Forest massacre, and the Glover family murders.) This also made Barbara one of the most prolific female murderers and female mass murderer In Australian history, behind Raina Thaiday and Catherine Glover.

Sadly she inspired a copycat. 3 weeks later, Mark Heath, drove his four children into the desolate bushlands before gassing himself and his children: Sarah, 8; Holly, 6; Jak, 4; and Kaleb, 2. Health experts downplayed the possibility, but it was later confirmed her method of murder did indeed inspire him to gas his children.

The event led to Australia questioning of the mental health of parents.

In a twist, she wasn’t buried with her children, instead was buried somewhere else where her children all buried together. This makes her one of the rare female family annihilators to not be buried near her victims.

There is multiple newspaper and reportings on the murders. Apparently, theres footage of the police officers discovering the minivan somewhere and possibly her suicide note.

Female mass murderer - Janet Danahey - “Campus Walk Apartment fire”

A forgotten female mass murderer - Janet Danahey. Date: February 15, 2002.

Location: Greensboro, North Carolina.

Background.

Janet was born on August 31, 1978 in Pennsylvania. She later moved to Kearnsville North Carolina with her family, where she’d later become an Olympic Torchbearer for the 1996 Olympics. Janet had previously broken up with an ex and had vandalized his car with cat litter cereal, and Syrup. She paid a fine however and it wasn’t on her record. She had a job making 12$ an hour even though she had a degree in Business. She‘d attend George Bush’s ceremony to be President and protested over it with her sister Emily. “A little girl spat on me.” Janet would say.

Murders.

On the night of February 15, Janet Danahey along with her two roommates, Adrianna Hooks and Nicole Montanni, were eating pasta and drinking wine. Janet had been dumped by her boyfriend of 6 months - Thad Johnson - and she wanted to exact revenge on him. The trio soon bought clam juice and were going to dump it into Thad’s car as a “prank”. They were unable to locate the vehicle and soon returned to their apartment. Still thinking of a way to get back at him, they remembered Janet had some lighter fluid under her sink. Janet got it and the trio headed back out to the Campus Walk Apartments, a structure located near UNC of Greensboro. Janet knew Thad had left some Christmas lights out on the porch and planned to burn it to get his attention. At that time, Adrianne and Nicole sped off fearing they would be caught. Janet was unable to light the Christmas lights on fire and so turned he attention to the futon near the box. She doused it with the lighter fluid and lit a match. She saw a small blue light and giggled and walked off. Unfortunately it had been a windy night and the fire soon grew. Eventually the fire spread to the whole apartment complex. People were jumping out of windows (three floors) to escape the building. Meanwhile, Janet saw this and thought it was fine and it would settle down. The fire department were able to get the fire out as they arrived.

As the fire department were looking through the scene… they found 4 crumpled bodies underneath a stairwell that had collapsed. They were: Ryan Bek, 25; Elizabeth “Beth” Harris, 20; Donna Llewellyn, 24; and Rachel Llewellyn, 21. All were in the third floor unit. Donna and Rachel Llewellyn were sisters living together and the only children of their parents. Ryan Bek was Donna’s boyfriend, and Elizabeth Harris was the roommate of the Llewellyn’s. Elizabeth Harris fell stories to her death as she cracked her head on a concrete slab below. Ryan Bek and Donna and Rachel Llwellyn, burned to death.

Janet immediately after hearing on the news the 4 died, disposed of the evidence and drove to Monroe to be with her parents. Adrianne and Nicole apparently finding out turned Janet in as the led police to where she disposed of the evidence leading to Danahey’s arrest.

Janet went to trial where she faced the Death Penalty under North Carolina’s felony murder rule. However she took a plea deal where she was charged with all four murders and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. During her sentencing she gave a bizarre speech.

“The angels of your children have come to me, and I have touched their hands, and they have told me what it felt like to feel their flesh burn,” she said, prompting gasps from people in attendance. “I know who they are. They are a part of me now. You are my family now. You are stuck with me now. I hurt you, and I will make that better.” 

She also said “I don’t know why Adrianne and Nicole won’t come forward to say they had anything to do with this stupid prank.” After she was sentenced she looked back and gave a smile. Weirdly enough she was imprisoned with two other female mass murderers: Melissa Marvin of the 1999 Kills Devil Hill Crash, and Crystal Gambino, who shot and killed her husband and his two lovers as they had an orgy. Danahey has been a model prisoner apparently, only having a few citations including profanity and lock picking (wonder what that was for.)

In 2012, she was granted clemency by the governor making her eligible for parole in 2029. Then on 2022 Roy Cooper commuted her sentence to allow her to be paroled in 2023. (apparently being the second mass murderer who Cooper commuted a sentence to.) The families were outraged by this wondering how she could be free after taking the lives of 4 people. She was denied parole by the board and continues to be imprisoned according to records.

Janet still maintains it was a “Prank”. But Elizabeth’s brother says it was domestic violence to a tee.

This is a polarizing case with many saying she should be free and others saying she should be in jail.

What are more targeted locations for mass shooters? Malls, Churches, or Workplaces?

Im trying to do lists and essays on these type of shootings. Schools are the number 1# target place for mass shootings. But there are many other locations that are targeted. From My studies, Restaurants are the second most target location in my opinion that have many unique factors like School shootings. However I’ve noticed that Church shootings, Workplace Shootings, and Mall Shootings are frequently targeted as well, due to large crowds, chosen for racial matters, and for being opened and not guarded. Supermarkets have been targeted as well in the recent years, but not like Churches, malls, and workplaces have been.

If there are any type of shootings you know that involved malls, churches, and Workplaces, do tell so I can be able to gather it efficiently. Wikipedia misses a ton of these.

[partially lost] Pokemon Sinnoh Gym Leader and Elite Four Piano Theme.

Nintendo purged and copyrighted struck multiple covers and or videos related to their proprieties. Including music covers. Around 2021 I had found a particular piano cover of the Diamond and Pearl Gym Leader/Elite 4 theme on YouTube. It was titled Pokemon Sinnoh Gym Leader Theme I believe and had Crasher Wake on the cover of the video. The video would play and it would show all of the gym leaders silhouettes as the theme continued. Then the video transitions into the Elite 4 theme as the silhouettes appeared on screen. I tried finding it multiple times and I believe it may have been purged or the channel was deleted since it covered other pokemon music that Nintendo copyrighted. Luckily I recorded the whole audio on a cassette tape (yes I still record music on a tape still) which I misplaced somewhere in my house. Anyone know this video?

Judy Boyer- One of America’s Oldest Female mass shooters.

Photos: First Slide: Judy Boyer

Second Slide: Patricia Boyer, Henry Boyer, Zachary Salminen, and Wade Bacon

Third Slide: Judy’s Mugshot

Fourth Slide: Ryan Beatty

Fifth Slide: The Boyer Residence

Sixth Slide: Robert Haggart

Seventh Slide: The distance between both Massacres.

Location: Clare County, Michigan

Judy Marie Boyer was born October 18, 1967 to Linda and Henry Boyer. She was presumably, the youngest child of her family. She had an Older sister named Patricia and and a Brother named Eric. Not much is currently known about her life but from some research she was (possibly) married and bore a child named Henry Green. She seemed a bit kooky though. It appeared there was some tension in the family however given the circumstances of the crime. Oddly enough she lived right across the street from her sister and father.

October 20, 2021. On that day, Judy snapped and planned a killing spree and had a hit list of people to kill. There were only 4 known people she planned to kill: Her father, her sister, her own son, and an unknown individual. Judy armed with a 22.caliber rifle and wearing micky mouse long pants, went over to her father and sisters home and shot and killed them. She then hid the bodies in the shed. At some point Cousins, Zachary Salminen and Wade Bacon as well as Judy’s Nephew Ryan Beatty (Patricia’s Son) went over to the Boyer residence to fix the roof and stove for Mr. Boyer. Judy, probably not knowing this, invited Wade and Salminen inside so they can speak to her father As Ryan went to look for his mother and grandfather. That’s when he heard gunshots in the house and ran to the living room. There he discovered the mangled bodies of Wade and Zachary - Judy had shot them - Blowing half of Wade’s face off in the process. Ryan saw his aunt pointing at him and stopped her saying he can help get rid of the evidence. (He was probably fearing for his life) As he helped her escape, Henry Green came over, unknowingly seeing his cousin help his mother escape from her crimes. Ryan immediately told him what his mother did and the two called the police. The police soon captured Judy and arrested Ryan for helping her. Ryan was soon dismissed since he feared for his life when helping her, making him innocent. Judy was subsequently charged with two counts of 1st Degree Murder for her sister and brother, and two counts of Second Degree for the handymen. She was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Judy actually committed the worst mass murder in her county in over 40 years since the Rock Road Massacre - One of Michigan’s Worst Mass Murders Committed by Robert Lee Haggart Back in 1982. The Massacre’s both occurred on the same street and were 15 minutes away from each other. She is also one of Michigan’s Worst Mass Murderers. Her case was mainly overshadowed by The Oxford High School Shooting that happened about a month later.

This case has always fascinated me looking up female mass murderers. None of the posts I’ve looked at had in-depth detail, but I was able to find more information on it. Hope its okay.

This is the complete case of Dong Yangling, The Fuzhuo Factory Arsonist. She is one of the world’s worst mass murderers outside of terrorism and war. One of the most notable aspects is shes a woman. The crime takes place in Fuzhuo, China, a province of Fuijan.

She was born in 1974, in the Chengxiang, a District of Fuijan, China. Her family were merchants, but weren’t able to make enough money from it. Because of it Dong had to drop of Elementary School due to the family’s financial problems to pay for her tuition. Do to being short on money, they would basically take advantage of their friends in return for a small amount of money that would be lost shortly after. The family was selfish and greedy, often alienating their friends because of it. The Yangling’s didn’t mind since they took pleasure in their selfishness. Dong was influenced by her parents, selfishness and greed and took it to heart. Over time, she also developed the habit of being greedy and being selfish. For example, when she went to a relative's house, she would always ask for money. When she brought something home, her relatives thought she was just a child, so they didn't say anything. Meaning they just dismissed her behavior since she was a child and didnt correct it. Dong’s parents did not criticize her behavior, but actually praised the destructive act.

Over time, Dong would try to apply for Jobs, only to be fired afterwards, mainly because of her greed.

 “After growing up, because of this bad habit, I changed many jobs. Because of my dishonesty, no boss wanted such an employee, so I was always fired.” - Dong Yangling. 

 Her parents soon paid one of their relatives to find a job for Dong, leading her to work at the Fuzhuo Textile Factory, as a yarn spinner. Surprisingly, Dong loved her job at first and was a very hard worker. Though her bad habits would surface eventually. She was also unable to make much friends there due to her domineering and unreasonable personality. Dong started taking small scraps of fabric and other textiles at work, and began selling them with the help of her mother. Dong’s mother praised her daughter for her thievery as Mrs. Yangling processed the scraps for sale. Dong became more and more sly and arrogant with her crime. She would then start to bring a large bag to work every day, and would bring home a large amount of cotton at night. Dong would even sabotage her own work, deliberately spinning the yarn the wrong way, (large amounts) so it could be scrapped and she would be able to sell it. This happened very often, leading to the amount of workers need for the job to drop, due to the amount of product being scrapped. This made the workers furious and unhappy because of her behavior. Due to this, many reported her hoping she’d straighten out. The director apparently knew about this and many times he let her off scot free. There were many factors to this: 1, she was a relative of one of the employees (assuming higher up if she got of scot free), 2, because she was a teen, and 3, because she was a lower wage worker and the others were higher wage.

However one faithful day (assuming December 12) a large shipment of acrylic yarn was missing, making the director shocked. He found out it was Dong who stole it and was much more confrontational about it.

 “You usually just take some scraps, but this is a shipment that is going to be sent out, it is very important, please return the package of acrylic yarn quickly.” - The Director

 Dong took this the wrong way, and thought he was intimidating her, so Dong  relied on the power of her distant relatives and did not pay attention to the factory director at all. She waved her hands indifferently and said that it was impossible to get it back because it had been sold. He finally had enough of Dong and immediately fired her. Dong was seething from this. She felt like she didn’t anything wrong and that the director had no right to fire her. This bitter resentment began the point of no return for Dong Yangling.

The Fire

On the early morning of December 13, 1993, at 3:50 A:M, Dong Yangling quietly slipped into the factory with a pack of matches. She walked over to the warehouse where the cotton was before striking a match and throwing it on the cotton. She stood there for a few minutes watching the fire consume the cotton. It later spread and she escaped out of fear of dying in the fire. The fire soon spread throughout the factory around 4:15 A:M,  causing treacherous damage. An alarm was set off around 4:36 alerting firefighters to the scene. The fire was at its fiercest, as firefighters had to use water cannons to subdue the blaze. The fire started to subside around 6:30 A:M before being extinguished at 7:00 A:M. They were able to rescue 34 women from the factory with 8 of them injured. Sadly, 61 women died in the fire. They suffocated from the fumes from the burning textiles, as they slept in their dormitory. The damage and cost of the fire was about  3.036 Million Yuan about 500,000$ in U.S Money.

 It took about two days to investigate the cause of the fire as they ruled out electrical problems and cigarette butts. They were able to trace it to Dong Yangling, and arrested her on December 15. She didn’t confess to the crime at first, but as she was being tried on January 14, 1994, she immediately confessed, saying she did it on impulse and didn’t expect someone would die from it. She also said if they didn’t fire her, she wouldn’t have done it. Dong Yangling was soon sentenced to death. Her execution was swift as the police took her out from the courtroom and immediately shot and killed her. Her last words were “Unjust!”

These cases include much younger female perpetrators aging in their twenties and some being teens, with a majority of them hailing from the 20th century. Also some of them are the main perpetrator with the boyfriend being the accomplice. Unlike the previous list, only a few have mental illness (Guadalupe and Elizabeth). The rest have despicable reasons for their acts.
