The Treacherous Tennis Player | M.P. Pellicer
Vere St. Leger Goold was born October 2, 1853 into a wealthy, Irish family. When he was 26 years old he became the first Irish tennis champion. His early success in sports faded, and by 1883 he turned to alcohol and opium. However it took a turn for the worse when he met Marie Giraudin, a French, twice-widowed dressmaker.
Marie and Vere married in 1891, and riddled with debt they moved to Canada in 1897. She opened a dressmaker shop, but by 1903 they were managing a laundry business in Seacombe-on-Mersey, Liverpool. Despite their common occupation, they adopted the title of Sir Vere and Lady Goold.

The Skeletons in the Cave | M.P. Pellicer
In July 1945, the battle of Okinawa took place, leaving over 200,000 dead, among them over one-third of civilians who lived on the island. Okinawans had been forced to commit suicide by the Japanese military or be executed. Lawlessness was rampant on the island and refugees lived in the hills. A month later atomic bombs would fall on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and amid this turmoil the disappearance of three young Marines was barely noticed.
Their names were James D. Robinson (Savannah, Ga.), John M. Smith (Cincinnati), and Isaac Stokes (Chicago). Initially they were listed by military as deserters and then they were declared missing in action. They were all 19 years old.

Crime on the Cariboo | M.P. Pellicer
Historically whenever gold is discovered, it's rapidly followed by a swell of strangers all vying to strike it rich. With it comes opportunity, but also trouble, and even murder.
Cariboo, British Columbia
In 1862, Nehemia T. Smith, better known as Blackjack was involved in the discovery of gold in the Cariboo mines, and the famous strike on William Creek. He had been part of the Fraser River Gold Rush in 1858.

The Valentine's Day Ritual Murder | M.P. Pellicer
On a cold February evening in 1945 the body of 74-year-old Charles Walton was found in a field of the Firs farm, in which he had been working earlier that same day. He was considered a recluse, and no one who lived in the Warwickshire hamlet could understand who would want to kill him, much less mutilate him.
Charles Walton was known to be a quiet man and a loner, who shared a thatch-roofed cottage opposite the village church with his niece in the hamlet of Lower Quinton. Despite suffering from rheumatism and using two walking sticks, he worked on and off doing odd jobs and lived off his small pension. His reputation as an honest, hardworking farm laborer left the authorities puzzled as to who would want to kill him, especially in such a brutal manner.

The Ghost of Al Capone's Mistress | M.P. Pellicer
Capone had many mistresses, but some held his interest longer than others. One of these allegedly was Mary Ann Brown, who also went by the name of Vera. She is a mysterious woman, because very little is known about her, if she ever existed at all.
Perhaps she used the surname of Brown in imitation of Capone's alias Al Brown, which he used since 1920 when he was the keeper of the Four Deuces saloon at 2222 S. Wabash Avenue. Later in life he would be known by the more notorious moniker of Scarface.

The Fate of the Grave Digger | M.P. Pellicer
Criminals are sometimes undone by their stupidity or desperation, but there are others who are discovered by sheer bad luck. Such is the case of a gravedigger named Jean Baptiste.
Utah, 1862Four men were arrested, and two were sought in an assault upon John W. Dawson (1820-1877) the governor of Utah who had been nominated to the post by Abraham Lincoln. One of these men was named Moroni Clawson. Ironically three weeks before they had been hired to protect the governor until he reached the eastern boundary of the Utah territory, but then something changed.

The Millionaire and the Telephone Girl | M.P. Pellicer
Two officers of the bicycle police brigade of Fresnes-sur-Marne were patrolling the road to Claye, when they came in the night upon a smoldering hayrick in a field belonging to Farmer Ernet. Under the rick about 100 feet off the main road and up a cart track, they smelled the odor of burning flesh. It was the body of a slender girl, and it was obvious by the charring of her body someone had set her on fire.
On August 13, 1926, a Friday, the police in the French city of Freses-sur-Marne were trying to solve what was dubbed by the press as the "Friday the 13th" murder. The body of a young girl was found in a burning haystack near a lonely road. The girl was strangled and the fire was assumed to have been started to conceal the crime.

Murrell's Protégée | M.P. Pellicer
The place was Sandtown Road, once known as the Sand Town Trail, near the West End in Atlanta where a man's skeleton was found. It was a swampy area, some distance from the road in a dense area of cane growth. Most noted that it was an "admirable spot for a murder."
Atlanta, April 12, 1897
The bones were found by a policeman's young son, and soon crowds flocked to the place. All believed the person was a victim of murder, with the body not fully decomposed. He appeared to have been a man of means. Near to the remains was a piece of a gold chain, a small silver ring and a dainty gold locket, which was in the man's pocket, and not discovered by his attacker, if theft was the motive.

Blind Tigers Always Keep their Secrets | M.P. Pellicer
Bones were found on the bank of the Miami Canal on April 12, 1917. The police immediately compared the crime to the murder of Eddy Kinsey, whose body had been discovered in similar circumstances a few months before.
What was left of the man was only a skeleton, with evidence that he was the victim of foul play. The bones were taken to Undertaker W.H. Combs. From the general appearance, the remains had been left on this lonely spot for about six months. It had been scattered by buzzards, which had cleaned away the flesh and only traces of garments were left behind. There was also a pair of tan shoes hardly used, which later were proven to have been purchased at an Avenue D shop. A burned buckle showed that he wore a leather belt around his waist.

The Skeleton at Constant Street | M.P. Pellicer
On Halloween, 1900, Sanitary Chief George Walker made a startling discovery while conducting a house to house inspection. He came upon the skeleton of a woman. It was in the rear of a vacant house at 817 Constant Street, Tampa. This neighborhood was known as the Scrub.
The bones were not white and polished such as the one ones used by physicians or medical students. They were dark and a little charred, as if the flesh had been recently burned from them. Wisps of wavy, fine reddish brown hair still clung to the skull.

The Dead Man at Devil's Elbow | M.P. Pellicer
What was left was just a skeleton found in a pine stand at a place called the Devil's Elbow.
October 30, 1886, Palatka, Florida
A boy hunting found him. His head lay to the roots of the pine tree, and his flesh had been completely stripped off by animals and buzzards. The condition of the clothes indicated he had been dead several months, and that he might have been the victim of the prior winter's freeze.
