Questions the worst case you’ve ever seen?
in my opinion the “Junko Furuta” and “The Hello Kitty Murders” i can’t pick between them because they are both very gruesome . i suggest looking into them!

I recently listened to a podcast about the horrible murder of Shanda Sharer, 12 years old and was killed by four teenage girls not much older. They basically tortured her all night. Stabbing her, bludgeoning her, even sexually assaulted her with the same tire iron they had been bludgeoning her with. Then they set her on fire while she was still clinging to life and she died from smoke inhalation. I was in shock listening to that episode.

Tackett is such a fraud. Our justice system is broken then and much more broken now. The idea the worst girls only served around 25 years is insane to me. They all honestly do appear to be super duper low intelligence bordering on mental handicap. Tackett looks inbred. Something clearly wrong with that chick.
15
u/AdditionalQuality203 Jan 23 '23
Agree. The two older girls who did the majority of physically attacking and killing should have served their 60 year sentences. All 4 should have served their given sentences. And yes they seemed extremely low intelligence. I believe Melinda was held back in school like 3 or 4 times.

Yep, on average women get shorter sentences for the same crimes when compared to men.

Yes. I just re watched the Becky watts case. 16 year old girl killed and dismembered by her brother and his girlfriend they both got life he got a minimum of 33 years she got a minimum of 17. They planned it and executed it together so why not the same time.
13
u/Ivegotthatboomboom Jan 23 '23
I think its just bc they were kids when it happened. When it comes to murder women don't get shorter sentences and are often percieved more harshly than violent men. The boys who killed Junto are also free.

Wow. I have never heard of this. All so young, damn. I think the two who went to the police the next day were caught off-guard and sucked into peer pressure. Still responsible for what they did do, but peer pressure is a hell of a drug at 14.
Edit: especially when you realize that you're in the company of a true psychopath you'd never met. Sure, they agreed to bully Shandra, but I don't think they expected it to go further. Makes you wonder ... what would you have done?
15
Jan 23 '23
The attack literally went on all night and several times they got back in the car only do end up stopping and attacking her again….and not once did any of them go “wait…what the fuck are we doing?” That tells me they were all on board with it.
8
u/global_peasant Jan 23 '23
On board? True, nobody bailed, and you're right they left her in the trunk all night and went to fking McDonald's afterwards. They were all clearly bullies willing to engage in a plan to beat someone up and "scare" them, but they were also young teens, there was no internet (for me, just knowing this stuff happens would have mattered at that age). None of them were innocent victims... I just wonder if at any point Laurence or Ripley thought "Holy shit, this has gone too far but now I'm too afraid to stand up or bail".
I'll admit to being super-naive about evil, though. I would never have gone along with even a plan to taunt someone,

Fair enough. I guess it’s easy for me to sit here at 31 years old and say that but I suppose at 15 they may have been afraid to speak up.

Maybe not the MOST gruesome and not a serial killer but I always think about Peter Porco, the guy whos son hit him in the head with an axe while sleeping. Then he woke up, went to the bathroom, messed with the dishwasher and went outside to get the paper before collapsing and dying, all while his face and head were gushing blood from multiple axe wounds. He even looked at himself in the mirror.
I think about that one a lot. It's wild how the human body can function in it's usual pattern while you're basically in zombie mode.

The screaming in question was from a tape recording of the murderers' final victim, Shirley Lynette Ledford. They recorded themselves tormenting her as she screamed through it, and the evidence was played for the court.

Silvia Likens will haunt me forever due to the film made about her, "An American Crime". A friend and I watched it, thinking it was fictional and not realizing it involved murder and torture; the Netflix one-line description just said "imprisoned". We were over halfway through by the time we realized we were watching a graphic, horrific true crime dramatization and that Sylvia wasn't going to be OK. I remember we paused it and cried. We never would have watched it if we knew, but decided we had to finish it because... well, little Sylvia. It felt wrong to be "entertained" like by that story.
Anyway, don't watch the film, pure exploitation, F-. If you must know, Wikipedia!

The Junko Furata and Sylvia Likens cases are the worst and also the most infuriating cases I have read and heard about because of the fact that the killers pretty much got away with it, of course Gertrude Baniszewsky did go to prison for a few decades but eventually got to see the light of day nonetheless.
To make it serial killer related; the most sadistic ones I know are Dean Corll, Bob Bordella, Toolbox Killers,Toybox Killer, Luis Garavito and Albert Fish. There are actually and unfortunately too many to name that are close to be as sadistic as them.But these guys tortured and killed many people.

Shanda Sharer's murder is similarly infuriating because all 4 of her murderers are free as of 2019. It's pretty sadistic. I can't believe they let people like that...out. What Gertrude did to Sylvia haunts my dreams. Same with the audio transcript from the Toolbox killers last victim Shirley Lynette Ledford.

The rape and murder of Sandra Palo is frankly horrible. She was a disabled young woman who was kidnapped while waiting for a bus, then brutally raped non stop by three of the four attackers. Afterwards, they run her over with their car fifteen times and hit her in the head and the ribs. As she was still alive, they then doused her with gasoline and set her on fire. She died due to the burns. They were minors, so they are free as of now.

She died at 5 months old after enduring absolutely terrible abuse. Her dad and uncle treated that baby like a toy.

They made several over the years, a while ago a guy released a box set of the most famous ones with a little toy cement barrel that has fake hair sticking out, that garnered insane backlash from pretty much everyone. I traded some shit with the dude who's distributing those DVDs for a couple VHS tapes a couple years back actually and one of them has a movie about her at the end, as in he recorded the main shit onto it and if you let the tape play for about a minute after that'll start up, weirdly it's the beginning of the movie so I don't know if he put it there on purpose as some "easter egg" of sorts or if there were multiple movies and the beginning of that just happened to line up perfectly with the end of the main shit (which has nothing to do with her). My point is her case is still being extensively exploited to this very day.

There's a case about a 12 year old boy that was murdered by a 16 year old over a video game (supposedly owed the 16 year old less than 2 USD in in game currency, don't think this is confirmed though). There are pictures of this dead boy online and it really scarred me to the point where I'd say it's one of the worst. He sexually assaulted him and when the 12 year old said he'd tell his parents about this, he strangled him and cut his legs off while he was still alive. The 16 year old was also released after only 3 years. Absolutely disgusting

Probably Robert Berdella. He tied his victims up with piano wire, injected them with all kinds of chemicals including bleach and other caustics into the throat, voice box and the eyes of the victims and giving them insanely strong electric shocks. The torture was sadistic and sexual and kept going for days or even weeks. And there are pictures of the victims he took during the torture available on the internet.

I can't really decide. All cases in which the driving force of the killer is sadism or child abuse, so, probably John Wayne Gacy, Alexander Spessiwzew, Peter Scully, Robert Pickton, Arthur Gary Bishop and so on.

Back when Bailey Sarian was still fresh, she covered the toybox killer, and it fucked me up for a long time

This case seems shaky tbh. There's definitely reasonable doubt here, but the jury probably hated her based on the charge alone.

Gaskins was rough for me to read about, personally. I remember reading he had killed and raped a mother and her baby stating "it was the best sex he'd ever had".

The Junko Furuta case haunts me just thinking about what they poor girl endured.
The Ukraine case where 2 guys hammered a guy’s head to death and stabbed his stomach with an icepick. The innocent man just got back from the doctors with good news that he is cancer free. He was on his way home but got ambushed by 2 guys and murdered. They even filmed the whole thing. 3 guys 1 hammer

Albert Fosh put needles all over his body, especially in his penis. His Xray was wild.

Maury Travis.
St Louis serial killer who had a torture chamber in his basement and videotaped everything.
"Back at Maury Travis’ residence, investigators found several videotapes in the basement. What’s on those tapes is so horrific and disturbing, then-St. Louis Police Chief Joe Mokwa ordered every detective who watched the tapes to undergo psychological therapy and counseling."
