Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Crimes that have stayed with you for years

09-08-2020 3:55pm#1Channon Gail Christian, aged 21, and Hugh Christopher Newsom, Jr., aged 23, were from Knoxville, Tennessee. They were kidnapped on the evening of January 6, 2007, when Christian's vehicle was carjacked, and taken to a rental house, where both of them were raped, tortured, and murdered.
Newsom's body was discovered near a set of nearby railroad tracks. He had been bound, blindfolded, gagged, and stripped naked from the waist down. He had been shot in the back of the head, neck, and back, and his body had been set on fire.
Christian died after hours of torture, sustaining traumatic brain injuries and suffering injuries to her vagina, anus, and mouth due to repeated sexual assault. Before killing her, in an effort to remove DNA evidence, her attackers poured bleach down her throat and scrubbed her body with it. She was bound with curtains and strips of bedding, with her face covered with a trash bag and her body stashed in five large trash bags. These were placed inside a residential waste disposal unit and covered with sheets and garbage from Wendy's. The medical examiner said there was evidence that Christian slowly suffocated to death.
Four males and one female were arrested, charged, and convicted in the case, four of whom had multiple prior felony convictions.
What crime cases were so horrible that they have stuck in your mind years after reading about them?24

This has always been my number one case in the "can't forget" category of true crime, not just for its beyond belief cruelty and evil, but what the poor families have had to endure since the legal journey began. See #KnoxvilleHorror for more on that. Corrupt judge, torturous retrials, it has gone on and on and on. I pray for them still, as my heart and mind still cannot absorb what it truly must be like to bear what they have had to
The thread is really good, lots of compelling cases to look through and even a couple I wasn't aware of. Thanks .1 -
