Fishkill Jane Doe | M.P. Pellicer

On March 20, 1980, Thomas Newman and Stanley O'Dell, maintenance workers found a steamer trunk behind a dumpster at the Hudson View Apartments. Naturally they assumed someone wanted it to go out with the trash. Then they noticed blood on the outside.


The trunk was old, green and beat up with black trim and brass fittings. There were stickers on the outside for the French ocean liner Flandre and others from the Cunard Lines. It appeared the trunk had been tampered with because there was tape around the seams, and some of it had been pulled off. The men tried to lift it, but found it was too heavy. So they opened it, and inside was the nude body of a white, young woman with her head and hands missing.

The Hitchhiker Murders | 1970s Unsolved True Crime Mystery

Santa Rosa is located in Sonoma County, California. During the late 60s and early 70s it was close enough to be caught up in the vortex of the hippie movement in San Francisco which was only a few miles south from the town.

In 1968 the Zodiac Killer was making the headlines and the Manson family were caught in the brutal slayings of several persons on Cielo Drive in the Hollywood Hills. During a time and place where murder was rife, the news of the discovery of the nude, tortured bodies of young women last seen hitchhiking were soon eclipsed and until this day their killer has never been caught.

The Cemetery of Fools | M.P. Pellicer

Bohnice is a district in northern Prague. It is home to a psychiatric hospital built at the beginning of the 20th century. The asylum was one of the largest in Europe. Small houses surround a large park with an Art Noveau church. However what attracts tourists and legend trippers is the cemetery that received the dead for fifty years.


The six acre parcel of land is known as the Cemetery of Fools. Like many asylums built during these years, it had its own graveyard. Patients from the hospital were buried there from 1909 to 1951. Originally it was used for the patients' children, but eventually the inmates were buried there as well.

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.

The Wicked Stepmother | M.P. Pellicer

Mary Hoge's slashed body was found stuffed in a steamer trunk, and the suspect was none other than her stepson.

Jacob Hoge, 48, a baggage manager for the Pennsylvania Railroad told police that his son Joseph, 21, sat on a steamer struck while waiting for an express man to remove it. He thought it was odd, but not as odd as the fact that he couldn't find his wife. He'd only been married 10 months, and he hurried home from work like the newlywed he was. His first wife Sarah, mother of his children, had died in 1929.

The Mirror in Suite 72 | M.P. Pellicer

On October 24, 1905 Mary Jane Caley was staying in Suite 72 at The Aberdeen Hotel; the same one she had rented several times in the past. That day she had already bought her ticket to return by train to her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Then for some unfathomable reason she shot herself in the temple. Why would a wealthy, 21-year-old woman do this?


Manhattan, New York, 1901
Penn Station was under construction, and Macy's had opened on 34th St. Around the corner from Tiffany, B. Altman and the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, plans were underway to build a new Beaux-Arts hotel. A style called apartment hotels, which were the latest thing for out-of-towners who needed a pied-a-terre, without the need to hire servants or worry about maintenance. Residents dined in a communal dining room or restaurant, and hotel staff catered to their needs.

Louise's Last Resting Place | M.P. Pellicer

​In 1966, Louise Pietrewicz disappeared without a trace. The mystery of her whereabouts appeared to be solved with the discovery of a woman’s remains found in a burlap sack on Long Island.


October, 1966

Louise was in a troubled marriage, and after 16 years she had separated from her husband, and moved to her parents' home in Sagaponack. She took her 11-year-old daughter Sandy with her, with plans to leave to Florida. And then the 38-year-old disappeared after withdrawing close to $2,000 from her bank account. When her purse was recovered a week later on the shoulder of Route 25, with a WWII bond and her Social Security card inside, it should have raised concern on the part of the authorities. Instead they treated the case as a missing person and not a murder, and the local newspaper took no notice of it.

Evil Never Dies | M.P. Pellicer

​​There is a place in Indiana. It's a spacious house sitting on several, wooded acres, which for many years became the final, but not restful place for young men, the victims of a ruthless killer.


His name was Herb Baumeister, born on April 7, 1947, the son of Dr. Herbert and Elizabeth Baumeister. He was one of four children. His father was an anesthesiologist who had been practicing since the late 1950s. One has to wonder what Dr. Baumeister thought of the oldest of his four children. His behavior was disturbing from an early age, but it became undeniable when he reached puberty. He started to develop a fascination with death, and wondered aloud what urine would taste like. He would chase his male classmates asking for a drink. Herb would torture animals and play with the corpses. Another time he took the carcass of a dead crow he found on the road, and placed it on his teacher's desk.
