Magdalena Solis was part of an elaborate scam involving two grifters, the Hernandez brothers, who were bilking the small farming village of Yerba Buena, Mexico. That sounds pretty tame compared to the other stuff on this list, but let's just say that at some point things got a bit In , the brothers had shown up and claimed they were Incan priests who had a wealth of Incan gold the gods wished to share with the village, but the only way to appease the gods was to bring regular offerings of money and cleanse their bodies of demons.
And the only way to cleanse their bodies of demons was to have sex with the Hernandez brothers. Like, all the time. The villagers weren't terribly bright for instance, the Incas were in Peru, not Mexico , but after a while they did grow tired of having sex with the Hernandez brothers with absolutely no sign of their promised bounty of gold. So the brothers recruited a prostitute named Magdalena to pose as a reincarnated Incan goddess inexplicably fluent in 20th century Spanish.
They revealed Magdalena to the villagers in a puff of smoke during one of their cave rituals, and Magdalena immediately fell perfectly into character by demanding that everyone have sex with everyone else and drink from goblets of chicken blood garnished with marijuana leaves.
When the villagers inevitably got bored with Magdalena, still wondering where in the blue hell their gold was, she responded by ordering two of her "doubters" stoned to death in the ritual cave. And at this point, it went from a cheap "sex and money for promises of gold" scam to something else entirely. India TV News Hell hath no fury like a trio of sociopaths being denied stolen goods and sex.
The victims' blood was gathered in the ceremonial ganja goblets and consumed. And thus Solis and the Hernandez brothers had discovered a bulletproof way of perpetuating their scam -- kill a villager or two every so often as a blood sacrifice and the others will be too terrified to voice any doubts.
Who knows how long the scam might have continued had a random teenage boy not walked by the cave on his way to school and spotted Solis and her absurdly desperate followers bashing one woman's face in with rocks and chopping another man's heart out with machetes. The boy ran like hell to the nearest police station, and a patrolman followed him back to the village to check it out, because he apparently hadn't seen enough horror movies to know what happens to cops when they go investigate strange murder caves by themselves.
When the officer didn't return, the police decided to posse up and rolled into the village to discover his body hacked to pieces and his heart removed. The boy had also been killed in the same horrifying Temple of Doom fashion. They cornered Magdalena's cult in the ritual cave and arrested most of them, although the Hernandez brothers were killed in the ensuing shootout.
Solis and her surviving followers were tossed in state prison for 30 years. The Incas remained in Peru, where they had been the entire time.

Different strokes. And what is really chilling about this story is how long her murder spree continued before anybody caught on, although her first husband, Charley, did grow suspicious after their two middle daughters mysteriously died of "food poisoning," because it literally used to be that easy to murder people. Charley ran off, taking their eldest daughter with him but leaving the youngest behind with Doss, because apparently he didn't like that child.
The Sunday Times Joan Crawford ain't shit. Nannie Doss stayed married to her second husband, Frank, for 16 years, during which time she probably killed her newborn grandson by stabbing him through the skull with a hatpin and definitely killed her older grandson with a generous dose of poison. Frank, for his part, was an abusive drunk, and Doss eventually got sick of him and dumped rat poison into his whiskey, which is a recognized but generally frowned upon cure for assholes.
Doss got married three more times, and each husband wound up dying mysteriously. She even killed her third husband's mother, just after poisoning him and burning their house to the ground to keep it from going to his family.
In between her fourth and fifth marriages, she moved in with her cancer-stricken sister and poisoned her, too, because why the hell not?

I was inches away from a man who had raped and murdered dozens of people, and I had no idea. That has truly terrified me since realizing who he was. It could be anybody. Took about 2 years to figure it out and finally some rookie noticed the pattern of traffic stops to rapes. Not sure if it ever made the papers much and I totally forget what I was told happened to the cop in the end.
Some sick fucks. Apparently one of the tapes was played in open court and there are shots of various people coming out in varying degrees of distress just from listening.

Shirley Lynette Ledford was a 16 year old waitress who was hitchhiking home from her job, a practice not uncommon in She was horrifically brutalized and raped over the course of two hours by the end of which she was pleading to be killed.

David Parker Ray was never actually covicted of any murders though he and his accomplices are strongly implicated in several. He did kidnap, sexually abuse, and torture at least two women before being caught after one victim escaped. The recording associated with this case was a tape Ray made of himself going into extremely graphic detail as to what he planned to subject his captive to including rape, sodomy, torture, forced drugging, and bestiality.
The prerecorded diatribe was to be played for each new victim as they awoke alone, naked, and strapped to a gynaecological chair specifically converted into a tortue implement. Thankfully neither actual recordings can be found online in their entirety, though transcriptions are readily avaliable. The strongest possible of warnings to anyone who seeks out these transcripts. They are graphic to the absolute extreme. To me they are both life alteringly shocking and vile.

Frank himself was sexually abused by his mother and was encouraged by his father to sexually abuse all the farm animals and his sisters and his mother. Sexual abuse as children, violence as children, brain injuries. He was I was 15 at the time and that is too young an age to wrap your head around having a friend a victim of a serial killer.

But then life dishes some hard lessons and the realization of it is manageable. Just barely tho. I was able to hear the news of Bonin execution by radio and breathed a sigh of relief although I will never understand how Bonin found recruits to help in his killings.
Thank you for your reply. He gives me nightmares. He said that, when it was reported that the guy was caught, the prisoners cheered, because most prisoners, though often being depraved people, hate those who abuse and kill women and children.
