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.

He Said He Killed Her for Love | M.P. Pellicer

There are persons who are never meant to hold positions of trust, and Hans B. Schmidt was one of them. Some are just untrustworthy, others are deadly.

Hans B. Schmidt was born in in the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg; one of ten children. His mother Gertrude was Catholic and his father Heinrich was Protestant, but it was probably the beatings he received at the hands of his father that shaped the man he would become. He also witnessed domestic violence between his parents, brought about because Heinrich did not want her to practice her faith. Perhaps it was also a deep streak of mental illness that ran in his family.

The Black Canon of Lyons | M.P. Pellicer

In early 1893, Joseph-Antoine Boullan died. A defrocked priest, he was the head of a schismatic branch called the Church of the Carmel. He was also known as the Black Canon of Lyons.

Born in 1824, Boulan was ordained in 1848. He became a follower of Eugene Vintras, once a foreman in a cardboard box factory who claimed to be the reincarnation of Elijah.

Vintras founded two sects, the Work of Mercy and the Eliate Church of Carmel. He was dogged by rumors of demonic rituals and sexual excesses. In an 1846 pamphlet he was accused of homosexuality, conducting black masses in the nude and masturbating on the altar. He was condemned by the Pope, which would have made him a very unsuitable person for a Catholic priest to fraternize with.
