Nice blog, and what an interesting topic!
“The never-ending archive of jealousy, betrayal, despair, and madness.”
That about sums it up eh? I like the couple with the suicide pact who blow out their brains in a cemetery, of all places. A cemetery? It is actually not unheard of to kill yourself in a cemetery. It is almost always done with a handgun though. Single gunshot to the head is typical. A NASCAR legend named Dick Trickle blew his brains out in a cemetery earlier this year. Recorded cases go back a good 150 years. A suicide in a cemetery will almost always be with a gunshot.
Cemeteries are also used by murderers as a body dumping place. It might seem an odd place to dump a body, but it’s actually a lot more common than you might think. Sometimes they even bury their victims in cemeteries!
In a suspicious death that is not an obvious suicide where you have a body found in a cemetery, in almost 100% of cases, I would say it is a homicide. People don’t just crawl into cemeteries to die of exposure or natural causes.
Recently a young Black girl went missing in Virginia. She dropped her boyfriend off at 12:30 AM, then shortly afterwards, she crashed her car somehow. She was later seen by a motorist walking down the highway at 1 AM not far from the scene of the crash. She ended up missing and there was a huge search on for her. Her clothing was found not far from the crash site. She removed all of her clothing? Someone else did? Huh?
About a week later, her body was found in a cemetery a good distance away. To me, this case reeks of homicide. You telling me this girl crashed her car, started walking down the highway late at night, shortly thereafter took all of her clothes off, and then kept walking down the highway for quite some time until she dropped dead naked (The cause of death being what?) in a cemetery of all places? No way! And no one saw her walking down the highway naked in the middle of the night for what must have been a considerable distance? Crazy.
This case really does make no sense, but it also seems like she got dumped there. I will see if I can find a link for you.
