A brilliant linguist. A suspected poisoner. A killer whose crimes shocked 1800s New York.

Edward Rulloff was considered one of the most intelligent criminals of his era — fluent in multiple languages, studied by phrenologists, and defended even by Mark Twain. But behind the intellect was a trail of missing family members, robbery, murder, and one of the strangest executions in American history.

Did he dump his wife and daughter into Cayuga Lake forever hiding the truth beneath the Finger Lakes waters? And could the lake itself still be hiding secrets today?

Dive into the bizarre true story of Edward Rulloff, the missing women of Cayuga Lake, and the legend of Old Greeny.

A newlywed found murdered. No weapon. No witnesses. No motive.

In 1968, 20-year-old Claire Josephs was brutally killed in her home in Bromley, England. What followed would change criminal justice forever.

With nothing but blood typing, fiber analysis, and emerging forensic science, investigators built a case against Roger Payne—marking the first murder conviction in England based solely on forensic evidence.

But decades later, after appeals, an escape, and a new identity… questions still linger.

Did science get it right—or was there more to the story?

Blood, betrayal, and a mystery that still refuses to die…

Who really orchestrated the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre?

Was it Al Capone pulling the strings from afar… or was his ruthless enforcer Jack McGurn the true mastermind?

From attempted hits and mob revenge to “blonde alibis” and courtroom loopholes, the story only gets darker. Gunmen vanish. Witnesses recant. Suspects turn up dead—one by one.

And just when it seems like the truth might surface… it disappears again.

💀 A massacre with no convictions
💀 A list of suspects who met violent ends
💀 Confessions that only raise more questions

Even decades later, we’re still left asking:
Did justice ever stand a chance in a world ruled by silence and bullets?

The investigation continues with burned and dismantled cars. A garage rented next to the Circus Café point to ties with Capone’s circle.  A raid at the home of a killer uncovers two Tommy guns that link them to both the massacre and the murder of another man. Fred “Killer” Burke goes on the run, and the case widens into revenge, betrayal, and more unsolved killings.

Valentine’s Day, 1929 — Chicago.

While the city spent thousands on candy and romance, seven men stood lined up inside a North Side garage.

Two “police officers” walked in.
 Then two more men followed.
 Seventy rounds later, the garage floor was covered in blood.

The targets were associates of George Clarence "Bugs" Moran — rivals of Al Capone during the Prohibition.

Ballistics expert Calvin Goddard was brought in for his firearms examination skills.

And Moran? He was on his way to the garage… saw what he thought was a routine raid… and turned back — unknowingly escaping death.

The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre changed organized crime forever.

For the second part of the history and inhabitants of this infamous penal colony we will be discussing the legend of Papillion. Henri Charriere who wrote the famous book by the same title and the movies that followed, but were these his stories alone? Charles Brunier claimed he was the true inspiration and others believed it was Rene Belbenoit who partook in cannibalism with his fellow escapees becoming the inspiration for the movie "Condemned to Devil's Island" and "Passage to Marseille" staring Humphrey Bogart.

Roy Green and Kenneth McDuff were dually convicted of the crimes only for the Furman ruling to happen and let them back on the streets. 
This led to further murders of Brenda Thompson, Regina DeAnne Moore, Colleen Reed, Melissa Northrup and possibly more. 
The Furman Ruling did not stop there as there were more casualties due to Robert Lee Massie and Darryl Kemp.

Bette Lucas was found dead at the foot of her stairs and her son and granddaughter were the only ones present to tell police about the tragic accident that caused her death, but was it an accident? The other story is the inspiration for the urban legend about the “The girl with the Green Ribbon” about the death of Elva Zona Hester Shue.  
Also a correction, the Jinx was brought up, but that is the case that involves Robert Durst not Michael Peterson.
