What Was The Scariest Real Life Murder Story You Ever Heard?

About a month after I moved cities with my family as a nine year old we got a phone call from our old next door neighbours. Apparently my buddies were out playing road hockey and heard a bunch of screaming from inside a house near the end of the block. They got spooked and told one of the dads who went over and knocked on the door. The guy (who we were all a bit nervous around, he seemed like he hated kids) said there was no screaming and he was the only one home, the kids must have misheard some music playing.

The dad went back home and asked my buddies if they were sure they'd heard a girl screaming. They swore they had, so he called the police just to be on the safe side. The police searched the house and found a freshly murdered woman in the trunk of his car, parked in the garage. IIRC he was sentenced to 25 years. My mom freaked out that we'd lived a few houses away from this guy all that time, and it made me nervous of all our new neighbours for a while.

A guy I date was a occasionally a male prostitute. A guy picked him up and wanted to be choked as part of his sex trip and ended up killing him by mistake.

Read the book Helter Skelter which describes the crimes, arrest and trial of the Manson family. Your hair will stand on end.

The murder isn't so scary in and of itself. The proximity and the reason (or lack there of) are what get to me. It was two blocks away from where I currently live. Some lady broke into an older guys home and stabbed him to death to take his case of beer that he had just bought. What the fuck.
