1988 there was an after hours murder on the west side of Columbus at the Hometown Buffet. Someone robbed and killed the manager and a couple employees. Flash forward about 8-10 years, a recruit classmate of mine was eating a hamburger in the parking lot of a Rally’s restaurant about 20 miles east of the murders. He was working a plain clothes assignment. He saw 2 guys with shotguns going inside the Rally’s. He called for back up and set up on the door. When the suspects exited, he got the jump on them with his own shotgun. They gave up and were arrested. During the interview in the Robbery Squad office, one of them admitted to killing and robbing the people at the Hometown Buffet.

Lafonda Fay Foster - in April of 1986 she killed 5 of her friends in one night while in a drug fueled frenzy looking for more drugs. Convicted and sentenced to death - later commuted to life in prison. Had the opportunity to fight her toe to toe while trying to arrest her one night ( not the night of the murders ) - gotta give the ol' gal credit - she could ( and would ) fight like a man. The fight outcome was in doubt for a period of time  before I finally persevered. Saw her fight numerous other officers on various occasions with the same dynamics. Tough ol' gal. I remember that .the ironic thing is .it shocked and tore this town up . because murders very seldom happened at that time in Lexington ,and expetially not 5 in one night ....now ..they happen it seems every day almost , and everyone is use to it

Robert Hanson, the butcher/baker killed a bunch of girls, mostly strippers. One was a girl I went to college with and knew well.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

The Green River Killer. Ted Bundy up there as well I remember delivering a Sunday paper (Seattle Times) that had the headline Police looking for a man named 'Ted'. In the mid 80's I worked in the international district in Seattle. Some nights we'd end up in the bar of the Tai Tung restaurant, nobody sat along one wall because the other side was the Wah Mee Club, an illegal gambling joint where 14 were shot (13 killed, 1 survived) during a robbery in 1983. Ted murdered about 30 women. He was finally executed. While he was in prison, some idiot woman married him.

There was a woman's body dumped in the creek that runs behind my house.
It was about a mile from here about 5 years ago.
They never solved the case.

We had the abduction and murder of Mickey Shunick by known sex offender Brandon Scott Lavergne.
We also had a shooting at a theater with two killed and nine wounded.

I grew up about sixty miles from Centralia, MO, where Bloody Bill Anderson and his crew, including Jesse James, killed a bunch of unarmed Federal troops going home on leave. Murdered them in ways most foul. A good bit before my time....................
Chariton County, MO, where I grew up, seldom has anything resembling a murder, ever. Other than despondent farmers suiciding themselves or a drunk killing himself in an auto accident, most folks die of natural causes.

two come to mind. First was the Danny Rolling case, also known as the UF Student Murders case. A drifter killed 5 students back in 1990. Second was when another drifter and serial killer Ted Bundy was caught and finally executed for killing 12 year old Kimberly Ann Leach, a local girl.
More recently, a seemingly decent enough local fellow and businessman, Paul Reinhart murdered his two young sons to 'get even' with his ex wife.
I think every place in America has had it's share of stupid and heinous crimes.

I grew up in the NW Suburbs of Chicago, about 40-45 miles away. I graduated High School in 1977 We had more than a few! Some far too close for comfort! 1931 Baby Face Nelson killed 3 FBI Agents and was killed in the next town over. A little before my time! 1967 Richard Speck, We were scared stupid of that name as little kids! 1972 5-6 miles from home De Mau Mau/Corbett murders "Racial hate crime" https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,906633,00.html 1976 I worked for Patty Columbo's Uncle at a gas station when this happened. I took the call when the police called looking for him/his wife. https://murderpedia.org/female.C/c/columbo-patricia.htm1976 I had the unpleasant experience in going to High School with 4 of these murderers! One of them was just your "harmless burnout" and I'm still friends with his younger brother. The 2 Shine boys were not even human in most peoples opinion! https://videttearchive.ilstu.edu/?a...2&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------Then of course we had John Wayne Gacy 20-25 miles away! No link needed!! 1993 Browns Chicken massacre 10-12 miles? from home. Juan Luna worked in house a few times as an appliance delivery and repair man! https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,906633,00.html 1995 Not a crime, but we also have the horrific Bus/train crash that killed 7 students in my hometown and for my high school. A sad day indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_Fox_River_Grove_bus%E2%80%93train_collision

You guys got nothing. Get this - we had a black dude OD while being restrained by a Minneapolis police officer, and the police officer was thrown in jail.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Worked a couple of serial killers, but they were black, so not so "notorious".
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Charles Raymond Starkweather (November 24, 1938 – June 25, 1959)[2] was an American spree killer who murdered eleven people in Nebraska and Wyoming between December 1957 and January 1958, when he was nineteen years old. He killed ten of his victims between January 21 and January 29, 1958, the date of his arrest. During his spree in 1958, Starkweather was accompanied by his fourteen-year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate.

Back in 1993 near where I grew up a local Vet, his wife and one son were murdered in their home. About ten years later the daughter and the guy who had been her boyfriend were convicted. Definitely some evil and twisted people in this world.
