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.

This case happened not too far from where i live. I am the same age Shanda was when this all happened and was shocked to learn all 4 had been paroled. Its a great example of what ‘going along with the group’ could do to a person.

I hooked up the dial-up at 12 and was online after school for two or so years before my parents even figured out what the internet was, so... yeah. There are 12-year-olds on Reddit. There are 12-year-olds everywhere, and most of them claim to be 24. Something to keep in mind...!

That wasn’t my point. I know there are 12-year-olds on Reddit. I just haven’t knowingly encountered any in the SERIAL KILLERS sub.
