At present, the police know about ten of Valeria’s victims, although one of them refused to file a complaint against her. “It was great,” the unnamed man said. “I like hot women. I only wish she hadn't use the clonidine on me.”

For a young kid like myself they were truly terrifying.

A 61-year-old woman and a 47-year-old man have gone on trial charged with the murder of the woman's husband 23 years ago. Vera McGrath and Colin Pinder deny the murder of Bernard Brian McGrath between 10 March and 18 April 1987. Mr Pinder pleaded guilty to manslaughter this morning, but that plea has not been accepted by the prosecution. Advertisement The Central Criminal Court heard the main prosecution witness will be Ms McGrath's daughter, Veronica, who was married to Mr Pinder. She will say that some time at the end of March or beginning of April 1987 she saw a sustained assault on her father, Mr McGrath, by her mother and Mr Pinder. She will say he was beaten to death by the two accused with a number of different weapons at the family home at Lr Coole, Coole, Westmeath. Her father was then buried in a shallow grave in the garden of the family home, the court was told. But around two months later, her mother and Mr Pinder dug up the body and burned it before smashing up the charred remains and reburying the bones. Mr McGrath's remains were exhumed in 2008, as part of a cold case investigation by gardaí. The court was told that there will be evidence that Vera McGrath encouraged Mr Pinder to carry out the vicious attack on her husband and that she also took an active part in it.

Investigators at the time determined that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot in heavy snow. Though the corpses showed no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue.[1] According to sources, four of the victims' clothing contained high levels of radiation. There is no mention of this in contemporary documentation; it only appears in later documents.[1] Soviet investigators determined only that "a compelling unknown force" had caused the deaths. Access to the area was barred for three years after the incident.[1] The chronology of the incident remains unclear due to the lack of survivors.
To dispel the theory of an attack by the indigenous Mansi people, one doctor indicated that the fatal injuries of the three bodies could not have been caused by another human being, "because the force of the blows had been too strong and no soft tissue had been damaged"

The bodies were next to each other, slightly covered by grass. They were wearing suits, lead masks and water-proof coats. There was no sign of violence to the bodies or to the surrounding area. Next to the bodies, the police found an empty bottle of water and a packet containing two towels. The masks were a type typically used for protection from radiation, and it is these masks that have given the case its name. Police found a small notebook stating: "16:30 estar no local determinado. 18:30 ingerir cápsulas, após efeito proteger metais aguardar sinal máscara", which translates to "16:30 be at the agreed place. 18:30 swallow capsules, after effect protect metals wait for sign mask [or 'mask sign']"

And then there's the Taman Shud case -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taman_Shud - which frankly, weirds me out far more than I can rationalise. I mean, I know it wasn't easy to identify somebody back in ye olden days, but there's something about all the weird little details that add up to a very unnerving Twilight Zoney yarn that I just can't shake.
