When Milwaukee police entered Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment on July 22, 1991, they uncovered one of the most disturbing crime scenes in American history. Inside his small one-bedroom unit, officers found human heads in the refrigerator, skulls in the closet, and body parts preserved in acid-filled vats. In all, investigators recovered the remains of 11 victims from the apartment, but Dahmer later confessed to murdering 17 young men and boys between 1978 and 1991.

Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris met in a California prison in the 1970s and bonded over violent fantasies. After their release, they bought a silver GMC van, which they called the Murder Mac, and spent months picking up teenage hitchhikers around Los Angeles. Using tools like pliers, ice picks, and coat hangers, they raped, tortured, and killed five girls between June and October 1979.

Their final victim, 16-year-old Shirley Lynette Ledford, was abducted on Halloween night after leaving her restaurant shift. Inside the van, Bittaker and Norris recorded a 17-minute cassette as they beat her with a sledgehammer, tore at her with pliers, and strangled her with a wire hanger.

At Bittaker’s 1981 trial, the prosecutor warned the courtroom before playing the recording: “For those of you who do not know what Hell is, you will find out.” Jurors wept, reporters left, and several people had to be escorted out of the courtroom. Bittaker listened calmly, sometimes smiling. He was sentenced to death, while Norris received 45 years to life.

On July 27, 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh vanished from a Sears department store in Hollywood, Florida. His head was found two weeks later, but the rest of his remains were never recovered. The case devastated the nation — and his parents channeled their grief into action. His father, John Walsh, became one of the most influential voices in victim advocacy, pushing for change in how missing children cases were handled. He later launched America’s Most Wanted, helping solve hundreds of cold cases.

Adam’s murder led to sweeping reforms, including the creation of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in 1984, and eventually the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act in 2006.

‘A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags

Many liberals celebrated when Hamtramck, Michigan, elected a Muslim-majority council in 2015 but a vote to exclude LGBTQ+ flags from city property has soured relations

Over the past decade, the parody site rentahitman.com has proven to be a surprisingly effective trap for people seeking a hired killer. Miami mom Jazmin Paez allegedly tried to hire someone to kill her 3-year-old son. Police said that Paez provided a photo of her child and an address, and asked that the job be completed by the end of the week in her submission to rentahitman.com. In the form, Paez allegedly wrote that she wanted “to get something done once and for all" and to have him “be taken away, far, far, far away and possibly be killed but ASAP.”

https://www.wxyz.com/news/hamtramck-city-council-votes-to-allow-animal-sacrifice-for-religious-purposes-in-the-city

(WXYZ) — After months of debate, the city council has voted to allow the practice of animal sacrifice, for religious purposes, in Hamtramck.

The decision ultimately came down to a more than 30-year-old U.S. Supreme Court ruling that says cities cannot infringe on religious freedom under the first amendment.

The act of animal sacrifice is often practiced among Muslims during Eid.

“Our city is dirty enough. We don't want to make it more dirty,” a Hamtramck resident said during a city hall meeting.

The ordinance that was passed Tuesday night says religious sacrificing of animals can be done as long as it is done legally and humanely.

"I think it’s the best compromise. We don't want to restrict religious freedoms and we don't want to keep it random without regulations," Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib said.

Many Muslims pay a butcher to perform the religious sacrifice but for some families, it's just not practical.

“A lot of families will typically do it in the confines of their property like in their backyard or their garage and dispose of the animal accordingly," Director of Safe Spaces at Cair Michigan Nour Ali said.
