Girlfriend Jealousy Model Murder Oscar Pistorius

DID OSCAR PISTORIUS SLAUGHTER HIS GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE OF THIS GUY?

The first thing that popped into mind when we heard about Oscar Pistorius and the violent assault and shooting of his girlfriend was STEROIDS. Hyped up athletes with bad tempers are a menace. Oscar not only shot his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp four times, but he apparently bashed in her head with a cricket bat. As the story develops, it turned out Reeva had gotten a late night text from handsome rugby star Francois Hougaard (above) before she was killed. Now police have reportedly found illegal steroids at Oscar’s house and also “evidence of heavy drinking.” It’s a tragic and disgusting story.

Johnny Lewis Murder Scientology Sons of Anarchy

“SONS OF ANARCHY” MURDERER JOHNNY LEWIS WAS A SCIENTOLOGIST!

#johnnylewis #janetcharlton

Another blow to Scientology! That “Sons of Anarchy” actor who horrifically murdered his landlady AND her cat was an active Scientologist! According to RadarOnline, Johnny Lewis, 28, was a high profile member of the cult and touted on websites and message boards. When he wasn’t acting, Lewis was a violent criminal with a history of robbery and assault . He was fresh out of jail and likely high on some drug when he killed his 81 year old landlady at her Los Feliz home, beat up a couple of neighbors, and ended up dead when he fell off the roof. (Above, Johnny and his ex-girlfriend Katy Perry)

Crimes and Misdemeanors Murder Obese TLC Weight

FEARLESS TLC IS TAKING IT ONE STEP BEYOND: CAN YOUR STOMACH BEAR IT?

#halftonkiller #janetcharlton

The National Enquirer should be ashamed. TLC has stolen their sensational tabloid investigation ideas and they are building a hugely successful (if somewhat tasteless) network on it. The Enquirer should have had a tabloid network of their own YEARS ago. We thought Honey Boo Boo and the siamese twins Abby and Brittany were startling, but this new special “Half-Ton Killer,” telling the story of a grotesquely obese woman charged with squashing a little girl is beyond belief. Be warned: this is a scary video

Dylan McDermott Gangster Mother Murder The Practice

DYLAN MCDERMOTT’S TRAGIC CHILDHOOD: HIS MOTHER WAS MURDERED

“Practice” attorney Dylan McDermott always seemed like a good looking guy who grew up pampered with money. It turns out his youth was not as idyllic as one might assume. His Italian mother was fifteen when he was born in Connecticut in 1961 and his Irish father was seventeen. Six years later they were divorced and Dylan, his mother, and sister were living with grandparents. In 1967 his mother was shot dead and her death was originally ruled an accident. The kids were raised by grandparents, but Dylan recently contacted police to get details about his mother’s death. They re-examined the investigation and determined that his mother had been killed by her gangster boyfriend. In 1972 the boyfriend’s body was found in the trunk of a car in a supermarket parking lot. Case closed. (Above, Dylan maintains his good looks by snacking on orange juice and a banana on the set of “Dogfight.”)

Bar Gay Head in a Bag Hollywood Hustler Marriage Murder Problems Spotlight

COPS ARE INVESTIGATING SPOTLIGHT BAR PATRONS REGARDING “HEAD IN A BAG” MURDER

We heard a little info about the “head in a bag” found in the Hollywood Hills. Since the murder victim was identified as Hervey Medellin, 66, a retired airline employee, investigators are looking for people who used to frequent the Spotlight dive bar in Hollywood, which closed in September. This sleazy but popular and well-known bar was almost half a century old – Keifer Sutherland drank there and Brad Pitt tried to buy the place at one time. It was also a gay bar where older men often picked up young hustlers. Police are following a tip that the murdered man met someone there awhile back and he may be a suspect. Just passing on what we heard….

Documentary Merle Ginsberg Murder Ronni Chasen

MAYBE THE FRENCH CAN DIG UP SOME ANSWERS TO THE RONNI CHASEN MYSTERY

We don’t know of anyone (except the Beverly Hills police department) who was satisfied with the investigation of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen’s death. The story of a vagrant on a bicycle who killed her without motivation and then committed suicide just doesn’t add up. According to Merle Ginsberg at The Hollywood Reporter, a French company is working on a documentary about the 2010 killing, and we’re hoping they ask all the right questions and come up with some fresh ideas. Ronni would undoubtedly be flattered to know that her mysterious death was of worldwide interest.

Crimes and Misdemeanors Jonah Shaknai Rebecca Zahau Suicide

FINALLY, DR PHIL DOES SOMETHING RIGHT

It’s no secret that we are not big fans of Dr Phil, but we like to see a TV show do something socially responsible. The Rebecca Zahau “suicide” case has had Californians outraged. If you recall, Rebecca’s wealthy boyfriend’s six year old son was killed in an accidental fall down the stairs while Rebecca was his caretaker. (He probably slid down the banister and fell on his head.) The multi-millionaire boyfriend, Jonah Shaknai, is a pharmaceuticals mogul. Days later Rebecca’ body was found hanging naked with a T shirt around her neck dangling from a balcony of the mansion. Her wrists and ankles were bound. The body was found by her boyfriend’s brother. Investigators ruled the death a suicide (!!!) but her family suspects murder. So do we. Dr Phil is apparently paying to have the body exhumed and retested for signs of foul play. We’re glad SOMEBODY is looking into this crime.

Acquitted Amanda Knox Crimes and Misdemeanors Murder

AMANDA KNOX: FOUR YEARS LATER, JUSTICE IS SERVED

The fact that Amanda Knox was set free ALMOST renews our faith in Italian justice, but many doubts remain. Italians are not as sophisticated as they want us to think – Amanda was reviled because she seemed to be a sexually active, cute college student. That earned her a longer sentence than either of the two men also convicted. Amanda and her boyfriend had NO motive for killing her roommate. It looks like the 3rd man, Rudy Guede, who’s DNA was all over the victim, and a friend went to visit the victim hoping for three way sex, and when it didn’t happen, they killed her. He is serving 16 years. After four years, Amanda deserves an apology from Italy for losing some of the best years of her life.

America's Most Wanted Beverly Hills Bicycle Crimes and Misdemeanors Gun Harold Smith Murder Police Ronni Chasen

HOW DID HAROLD SMITH SHOOT RONNI CHASEN FROM A BICYCLE?

Incredulous reporters quizzed the Beverly Hills police at their press conference today – everyone was flabbergasted to hear that the bullets that killed Ronni Chasen match the gun that Harold Smith used to kill himself. Cops theorized that Smith was desperate for money and it was a random robbery gone bad- ON A BICYCLE! LAPD has yet to turn over the bike to the Beverly Hills cops. Harold was certainly a good shot, but why didn’t he grab Ronni’s handbag on the seat next to her? Beverly Hills police played down the fact that they got the Harold Smith lead from America’s Most Wanted who received a call from a tipster. (Presumably the tipster will collect the $125,000 reward.) There are still a LOT of unanswered questions here so don’t put the Beverly Hills cops on a pedestal yet.

Harold Smith Murder Mystery Suicide

HAROLD SMITH DIDN’T KILL RONNI CHASEN

The Ronni Chasen murder mystery is far from over. It’s highly probable that the so-called “suspect” who shot himself had nothing to do with it. Harold Smith, who had lived in the low rent Harvey Apartments, had a history of arrests and incarcerations for burglary, robbery, drugs and firearms. His neighbors agreed he was strange, crazy, paranoid, and most didn’t believe his babblings – even when he supposedly bragged about killing “the publicist.” (The reward prompted someone to report him anyway and cops started tracking his moves.) He did vow that he’d rather die than return to prison. Several burglaries had occurred in the neighborhood and Smith, who had moved out of the building, returned several times to ASK if cops were looking for him. Police confronted him in the lobby and before they could say a word, he shot himself. It’s entirely possible that this mental case thought he was being arrested for the burglaries- and he couldn’t face prison again. What’s more, it’s common knowledge that Harold Smith rode a bicycle. Odds of this crackpot being hired to “off” anybody are slim, indeed. Police are hoping bullets connect the suicide and the murder but we seriously doubt that a delusional man on a bicycle had anything to do with this crime.
