“Hello, my Darling”

Experimenting with mixed media and it’s super fun~~~ I want to do more portraits like this 🤩

I finally have a night to myself and what’s better than doing art and listening to true crime podcasts?

Nothing. The answer is nothing.

Five Angels Slain

Killed by the person who was supposed to protect them. 

When the police stopped Timothy Jones at a checkpoint in Mississippi in August 2014, nothing could have prepared them for the utter horror that lay ahead.  Jones was agitated and high on drugs. His clothes were covered in blood. 

The police officers were overwhelmed by the stench of decomposing bodies. As they searched the vehicle they couldn’t work coming from.  It was then that Jones confessed - said he’d murdered his five children, driving around with them in the back of his car for days. 

He said he’d dumped them in black bin bags and told the police to search on a hillside in Alabama. 

And there they were - little Merah, 8; Elias, 7; Nahtahn, 6; Gabriel, 2, and Abigail, 1 - wrapped in bin bags, as Jones had said.  As the news broke, shock spread nationwide. 

What possessed a father to murder his children?  The children’s mother Amber was heartbroken. She’d handed custody to her ex-husband after their divorce in 2011, as he earned more money than her. 

She was adamant that Jones was a good father during their marriage. He had a respectable job as a computer engineer.  There was no sign that he was capable of such evil.  The marriage had fallen apart after Amber was said to have had an affair with a 19-year-old. 

She moved out of the family home, leaving her husband devastated. To those who knew the family, Jones was a loving dad, raising his kids alone in South Carolina.  But, at his trial in Lexington County in May 2019, the jury heard another side to the story. 

Crystal Ballentine - one of Jones’ former babysitters and single mum of a baby girl herself - said she was just 17 when she first met Jones in 2012.  She worked from 7am to 6pm, looking after Jones’ kids and doing chores in the home. It wasn’t long before she and Jones, then 30, were in a relationship. 

But, soon, Crystal noticed Jones had started to beat the children. Sometimes he made them stand on their tiptoes in the corner.  She told the court Jones even tried to whip her own daughter when she was less than a year old - the final straw for Crystal. She ended the relationship. 

But it didn’t stop Jones from handing out more brutal punishment to his five innocent children.  Another babysitter, Joy Lorick, told the court she accompanied Jones and his children on a visit to Disney World in June 2014 - just eight weeks before the children were killed. 

Joy told the court she’d seen Jones pull down the pants of little Gabriel and Nahtahn to beat them.  And Joy testified the children had asked her, ‘Could you not tell Daddy you just fed us again?’  But why had Jones killed his five children?

The confession came from Jones himself. He told psychiatrists that, on the night of 28 August 2014, he had an angry confrontation with little Nahtahn.  Just 6 years old, Nahtahn had allegedly broken an electrical outlet. 

As punishment, Jones forced him to do various strenuous exercises.  Later that night, Jones found the child dead in bed.  But, instead of calling an ambulance, Jones panicked, spent hours thinking about what to do. 

He decided his five children should be together in heaven.  So he strangled Merah and Elias, using his hands, then used a belt to choke Gabriel and Abigail. 

He wrapped their bodies in plastic and bundled them into the back of his truck.  Driving around frantically, he stopped off at various places to buy drugs. For nine days, Jones drove around in a daze, his dead children in the back of the car. 

He searched online for ways to make bodies decompose faster.  Then he researched countries that didn’t extradite criminals back to the US.  Jones was under no illusion about what he’d done. 

Finally, he found a spot in rural Alabama and dumped his children on a hillside.  Jones’ lawyers claimed he was deep in the throes of mental illness when he killed his children. 

They said that his sanity was damaged by his wife leaving him for a teenager. ‘He’s crazy,’ lawyer Boyd Young told jurors. ‘You can’t rationalize crazy. But at the time, he thought it was the right thing to do.’ 

Then the defense called a social worker, who detailed several levels of trauma within Jones’ family.  The horror included three generations of rapes, molestation by family members, gunshots, stabbings, drug deals, voodoo rituals, prostitution, frequent screaming fights, and swearing at children. 

The court also heard how Jones’ own mother dipped him in ice-water baths and gave him laxatives to try to make him behave.  Even Amber, the grieving mother of five dead children, begged the jury not to give her ex-husband the death sentence. 

‘He did not show my children any mercy by any means,’ said Amber. ‘But my kids loved him, and if I’m speaking on behalf of my kids and not myself, that’s what I have to say.’ 

But, in June 2019, the jury’s verdict was unanimous. Jones should face the death penalty. Days later, Jones launched an appeal against his conviction and sentence. At the time of writing, he’s on Death Row, knowing he can never truly pay the price for the innocent lives he stole.

genuinely hate "true crime junkies" so much. they will cover a murder story where a 12 yro girl got kidnapped, trafficked, and dumped in a river without ever getting properly identified, the family gets no closure or even a funeral and everyone who listened to the podcast episode will be like. "oh my god that's my favee case!!! i luv how the family never even got to see their daughter again it was sooo crazy :3" and then they'll call the murderer hot and completely dehumanize the victim. like. those are real people not characters. there are real humans grieving over the loss of their loved ones and you're out here. fawning over the person who r--ed, murdered, and beat a little girl.

#true crime #true crime junkie #please stop fangirling over horrible people #do people not recognize others of their kind anymore? do you not see that little girl as human? do you recognize that her nature is the #exact same as yours

This is Lacy Phillips (age 11 at the time this was taken) who, along with her 34-year-old mother Mary, was kidnapped by Jack H. Jones, Jr on June 6, 1995. Jack tied Lacy to a chair in the bathroom, beat her unconscious and then proceeded to rape and murder her mother in the next room.

When police arrived at the scene, they initially believed both Mary and Lacy to be deceased. However, as the crime scene photographer was snapping photos of Lacy, she regained consciousness and looked at him.

The Murder of Sian Kingi

Sian Kingi was a 12-year-old schoolgirl girl living in New Zealand. She was described as a happy, sweet and kind girl who loved animals.

On 27th November 1987, Sian was seen riding her bicycle home from a shopping trip. When Sian failed to return home, her parents went out searching for her and, after finding her bicycle abandoned in the park, reported her missing to the police.

Six days later Sian’s body was found, still dressed in her school uniform, near a creek. She had been stabbed 12 times in the chest and her throat had been slit, she had also been violently raped.

Attention soon turned to a white car seen near the park Sian’s bicycle was found in, the car was traced to Valmae Beck. Beck and her husband, Barrie Watts, had been married about a year and were on bail. Both had lengthly criminal records. The couple were charged with Sian’s abduction, rape and murder. Beck explained how she had lured Sian towards Watts, asking her to help look for a lost dog while Watts snuck up behind Sian and forced her into his car and taping her mouth shut. Beck claimed she had done this for Watts to satisfy his sexual fantasies and that they had ‘grabbed’ her from the park. The couple had attempted to kidnap several young women in the weeks leading up to the attack on Sian but all had escaped. A secret recording of the couple speaking in prison revealed Watts expressing ‘I’d like to do it again.’

Beck pleaded guilty to abduction and rape, but not murder. Watts pleaded not guilty to all charges. Both Beck and Watts were found guilty of all three charges and given life sentences. In 2007, in an unsuccessful attempt to gain parole, Watts confessed to Sian’s murder.

Marc Fullerton has been missing since June 3rd, 2020. The then-35-year-old was last seen at his girlfriend's residence in Braggadocio, Missouri. According to his girlfriend, Marc walked away from the house while she was in the bathroom. He has never been seen or heard from again. Marc's family has questioned his girlfriend's version of events from the beginning. It is not believed that Marc would stay out-of-touch with his children and his other family members. At the time of his disappearance, he was not wearing shoes or a t-shirt, making him ill-equipped to travel very far on foot. Marc's truck, wallet, cell phone, and dentures were all left behind at his girlfriend's house. Additionally, a cross necklace that he reportedly never removed was found broken on his girlfriend's floor. Certain reports state that Marc was planning to end his relationship with his girlfriend prior to his disappearance - which makes her version of events seem even more suspicious. Both Marc's loved ones and locals in Pemiscot County have criticized the investigative efforts in Marc's case. Posts on a Facebook page dedicated to Marc's disappearance indicate that blood was found in his girlfriend's house, but it appears that the residence was not marked as a crime scene. Certain posts also indicate that there might have been other people in the house at the time of Marc's disappearance but said people have not been publicly identified. Marc's loved ones believe he was murdered, and it is unclear why police have not publicly identified any suspects. Marc remains missing today. There is a monetary reward available for anyone with information that could lead to his whereabouts. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please contact authorities at [phone].

Boy howdy, it sure is amazing how the amateur eugenicists come out in response to a true crime story that involves a mother with post-partum psychosis.

Eugenics is such a dated look.

I’ve had these books for over 15 years and paid under $20 for each. I’ve been looking at the prices nowadays, and each book is usually $100 or more. 😳

Crimes That Shook Britain (West Country)

Murder of Joanne Yeates Landscape architect Joanna Yeates, 25, disappeared on 17 December 2010, following a night out with colleagues.  The last CCTV footage of Joanna showed her in a Tesco Express at around 8:40pm. 

Following a huge manhunt, Joanna’s frozen body was eventually discovered on a snowy roadside verge that Christmas morning. The murder investigation was one of the larges ever undertaken in the Bristol area, dominating the news. 

On 20 January her Dutch neighbour Vincent Tabak, 32, was arrestedfor murder. He was obsessed with violent sex and pornography.  In October 2011, after being found guilty of strangling Joanna, Vincent Tabak was jailed for live, to serve a minimum of 20 years. 

The Wests Married couple Fred and Rose West tortured, raped, and brutally murdered scores of young women unlucky enough to end up at their Gloucester house. 

The victims were dismembered, and many buried in the family home. The Wests’ decades of depravity were only uncovered in February 1993, following a tip-off. 

Fred West hanged himself in his cell on New Years Day 1995 while awaiting trial for 12 murders. That November, Rose West was convicted of 10 murders and given a whole-life tariff. 

Carnkie Killings  The killings shocked the Cornish hamlet of Carnkie in 2000. Lee Ford, 33, had told friends his wife Lesley, 36, had left him. Now she and her children - Sarah-Jane, 17, Ann-Marie, 16, Steven, 14, and Craig, 13 - had been found in the shed, two in a field six miles away. 

All had been garotted with a rope.  Ford was arrested and pleaded guilty to murder. He gave no motive but the court heard he’d had a sexual relationship with Sarah-Jane. Ford was jailed for life. 

Murder of Becky Watts In February 2015, schoolgirl Becky Watts, 16, vanished from the Bristol home where she lived with her dad and step-mum. 

After a huge police search, her stepbrother Nathan Matthews and his girlfriend Shauna Hoare were arrested for murder - to the horror of Becky’s family.  During the trial, Nathan claimed he’d killed Becky by accident, trying to scare her. But the court heard Becky was suffocated and stabbed in an alleged sexually motivated kidnap plot. 

The couple put Becky’s body in their car boot, driving home hours later. They used a power saw to cut up her body, bagged it and arranged to store it in a shed.  Matthews, 28, was convicted of Becky’s murder and sentenced to life, with a minimum term of 33 years. Hoare, 21, got 17 years after being convicted of manslaughter. 

Christopher Halliwell When Sian O’Callaghan, 22, went missing after a night out in Swindon, in March 2011, police soon suspected taxi driver Christopher Halliwell. 

His car was caught in CCTV close to where she was last seen. After his arrest, Halliwell led police to Sian’s semi-naked body dumped on a country road. She’d been stabbed to death. 

He then confessed to killing Becky Godden-Edwards, 20, who’d disappeared in January 2003, and led them to her shallow grave nearby.  At Bristol Crown Court, Halliwell pleaded guilty to murdering Sian. And, after a separate trial, he was convicted of murdering Becky and handed a whole-life term. 

Eunice Spry Known as Britain’s most evil mother, for over 19 years Eunice Spry abused three foster children, viciously beating, starving them and making them live in a barn.

As a toddler, Spry’s adopted daughter was made to eat cat food, and even her own vomit, at their Tewkesbury home.  After Spry moved the family to an isolated farmhouse, a 10-year-old was tied by his feet to Spry’s van and dragged at speed across a field. 

She forced sticks down the children’s throats and scrubbed them with sandpaper.  When one found the courage to speak out, Spry was arrested and found guilty of 26 charges, including unlawful wounding and assault occasioning ABH.

Initially jailed for 14 years, reduced to 12, Spry was freed after serving half her sentence.

Girl in the picture

Watching Girl In The Picture documentary on netflix. It’s recommended in the true crime community.

I’ve watched youtube stories on this and listened to podcasts about this story

So its about a girl who been kidnapped by her mom’s husband bc her mother was in jail. He groomed her and sexaually assaulted her. He gave her fake names all the time when they moved and he pretended to be her father.

She grew up to be a very smart girl. she did get pregnant with her bf as a teen. She ended up moving out of state with her kidnapper while pregnant. She changed her name once again and worked as a stripper while pregnant and was secretly on wellfare. So her fake dad/kidnapper always harassing her at work and always hitting on her co worker. i think her co worker went on one date with him and I think the co worker got annoyed with the kidnapper/dad so she reported Tonya(the kidnapped girl) for being on wellfare and working. clearance(kidnapper/dad) threatened the co worker that he will kill her and he did! The co worker went missing, and later on they found pictures on an abused/tortured girl(the stripper co worker) in Clearance’s car.

Later on Clearance would kill Tonya by hitting her with a car, she would later pass away

Her son Michael was put in foster care and he was fostered by a lovely couple, it was so sad to see his foster parents talk about him and to see his photos(such a cute little boy) So his foster parents had him for 4 years. Clearance kept trying to get full custody of him. Clearance had visitation rights but they made him take a paternity test and it shows that Clearance is not Michael's father. So now Clearance lost all visitation rights. Clearance been driving to the foster parents house and spying on them.

Clearance actually went to Michael's school and held the principal hostage and at gunpoint in order to get Michael  and Clearance kidnapped both the principal and Michael. He took the principal to a remote area and tied him to a tree and duct taped his mouth then he left with Michael.

Michael was last seen on  September 12, 1994, the day of the abduction.

Clearance said he shot Michael twice in the head.

This is truly one of the most twisted disturbing crime story
