In 2018, Ronnie O’Neal mercilessly assaulted his family in a prolonged and brutal attack using a gun, knife, ax, and fire. Three 911 phone calls captured the terror of what would later be described by a judge as “the worst case I have ever seen.” At trial, Ronnie served as his own lawyer which allowed him to cross-examine the only survivor, his 9-year-old son.

During a three-day killing spree, William “Wild Bill Cody” Neal told three women he had been dating that he had a surprise for them. While they were blindfolded eagerly awaiting their gift, he snuck up behind them with a 7.5 lbs splitting maul. A fourth victim survived his torture but was forced to watch as the horror unfolded. 

In 2016, Joel Guy Sr. (“Mike”) and his wife Lisa, were planning on retiring and moving from the hustle and bustle of their lives in Knoxville, Tennessee to a quieter life in rural Sirgoinsville, Tennessee. The couple invited their family to celebrate one last Thanksgiving in their Knoxville home before their move. The next Monday, when Lisa failed to show u7p for her last day of work, her co-workers called the police to make a welfare check. When police showed up at the house they found what prosecutors would later describe as a “diabolical stew of human remains.” Their killer left a four-page detailed journal of the brutal premeditated crime.

During a cold, wintery week in December 2002, brothers Reginald and Jonathan Carr decided to go on a crime spree that ended with five people dead and two others mentally scarred for life. The Carr Brothers' final heinous act ended on December 15, when they shot five friends execution-style on a soccer field in Wichita, Kansas. The brothers failed to make sure their victims were dead, and one woman survived. The survivor told a traumatizing story of being raped, and forced rape between victims. If it wasn’t for this brave eyewitness, we may have never known all the horrifying details of this brutal crime.
