Quisi Bryan was born in Massachusetts and spent his youth on the East Coast. Still, he started in youth corrections before graduating to adult corrections when he moved into the Midwest. It was in Ohio that many crimes continued, but didn't come to light until he was already behind bars. In 2000, he shot a police officer in the face, ending both their lives. After receiving his death sentence, it came out that he had been the perpetrator of numerous rapes and assaults. As of this time, his current death sentence has been delayed on multiple occasions. The latest one as a result of not being able to get the medication necessary to safely end a life per DOC protocol.

The Amber alert system is a nationwide alert system to immediately broadcast information on vulnerable children, children who have been abducted and are in danger. But how did this system fall into place. Well it came after Amber Hagerman, a nine year old abducted by a stranger. The first media information about her case aired two hours after the incident. Likely allowing the kidnapper turned killer to make it to the location he held her without being detected. The delay was noticed. Many people got involved and created a plan to immediately get information out. At the time through the use of the radio. Since it's start in Arlington Texas, it has grown. Being taken on nationally and signed on by former president George Bush. Now information is disseminated through phones, TV's, and radios to ensure blanket coverage. Yet for all that, we still have no answers for who stole and killed Amber.

One Monday in 1979, 16 year old Brenda Spencer stayed home from school. She told her father that she felt sick and after he left for work, Brenda watched the elementary school across the street. Shortly after 8 am, as the children filed in, Brenda pulled out her .22 rifle, took aim and began shooting. She killed two adults and wounded many others including children and police officers. After 3pm, she simply turned herself in. Eventually she plead guilty, her sentence 25 to life with the eligibility of parole after 15.5 years. Brenda has been denied parole at least six times, but her next hearing will occur in 2028. Sources: Leigh Hunt, 2022. I Don’t Like Mondays.

The CBC has a list of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman. Throughout 2025, I have spoken on many of the cases, but couldn't manage to get out of the A's.

Jen and Sarah Hart seemed like the perfect couple. As they grew, they adopted two different groups of siblings, six children in all. Rapidly expanding the family from two to eight. While Jen curated a social media presence with perfect photographs of the family, behind the scenes was a different story. The children were beaten and starved. One of them jumped out a window to get help, another sought food from neighbors. The couple withdrew the children from school and moved multiple times. But CPS kept catching up. Finally they went on the run, ending in a fatal car crash which ended the lives of the entire family. But it wasn't an accident, it was murder-suicide.

In 1978, four teenagers closed the Burger Chef in Speedway, Indiana. Sometime after 1100pm they are all loaded into the skilled. Police treat it as a kidnapping, allowing day employees of the restaurant to clean up and open for business as usual. Destroying any potential evidence in their wake. While there were thousands of tips called in, none lead to anything. The case went cold and it has remained that way, ever since. Sources: Murders at the Burger Joint-Netflix Julie Young, 2019.

Suzanne and Christopher seemed like a boring reclusive couple. They lived a simple life, but the pair held a large secret. Buried in the garden of Suzannes old family home were her parents. Another couple that had been so reclusive, nobody noticed when they went missing in 1998. It wasn't until father William would have turned 100, that the requirement for him to be checked up on in person, did the two panic and flee. A year later in France, they were out of money, Christopher called his mother in law, confessing his crimes. She dutifully notified police, finally the truth was dug up.

Azraya Ackabee-Kokopenace was born on March 6th 2002. She was found hanging April 17th, 2016. In a place, searches looked the day before after walking out of a hospital. She was supposedly noted to have suicidal ideations, yet was allowed to leave. She was a member of the same tribe that suffers from mercury poisoning. Her older brother having passed away at an early age as a result from complications from the poisoning. Yet the government refuses to take accountability or action. Creating generations affected by the same muddied waters that they made their livelihood off of.

When a loved one passes away, they typically end up at a mortuary. A place designated to care for the after life process. Whether it be a burial or cremation, the family entrusts the funeral directors to be responsible, to properly complete the final wishes. But time and time again there are cases where morticians failed to, not only give the respect everyone deserves, but in some cases are so horrific, it becomes criminal.

Robert Eugene Brashers was arrested and convicted of multiple crimes. The first convictions should have landed him in prison for twelve years, but he served just three before getting released for good behavior. The result was multiple murdered women.

In 1991 in Austin, Texas four teenagers are murdered. Two girls are closing up the yogurt shop that they work at while younger sister and a friend wait for a ride home. Sometime during their final clean up, they are attacked. All of them are bound, shot in the head, and the shop is lit on fire. Investigators do everything they can think of to solve the crime. Eight years later four men are charged, two confess and are convicted. Later winning appeals. In order to bolster their case, DA goes back to collected DNA. It is then, that science proved they convicted the wrong men. Still the case goes cold until 2025, when it is finally solved. The murderer with a long history of such crimes, but he will never see the inside of a courtroom for these murders. Having committed suicide in 1999 during a police stand off. Still families now know, who truly was to blame.

Fredericka Mandelbaum immigrated from Prussia to the US with her husband and small child. Peddlers in Prussia, the Jewish couple began feeling the effects of the growing anti-semitism movement. In the US they moved to "Little Germany". Marm learned to peddle quickly both legitimate and illegitimate wares. Opening her own haberdashery to front her fence. She lived and worked in the area until the 1880's when reform finally caught up with her by the hands of the Pinkerton Agency. Even after she was caught, she paid bail and then absconded to Canada. There she, oldest son Julius, and Herman stayed until Marms death. Sources: North Conway. Queen of Thieves.

It seems as though almost every historic hotel has a haunting or two attached to it. They are hot beds for paranormal activity, scaring and exciting the living guests who come for their own experiences. Since it’s October, a time touted as spooky season, I thought it would be fun to take a break from murder and mayhem and talk about the spooky. Especially after the heavy case I spoke about last week.

Shawn Yamate was born and raised in California. Falling in love with the 60's era lifestyle, he tattoo'd his moniker above his eyebrows. Sick Boy.

Another set of women in Canada, missing or murdered. While the bulk of them remain unsolved, we did end on a known case. That doesn't make it any less tragic. Killed for $20.00, the perpetrator given a four year sentence. As always we try and shed light on the epidemic that is the MMIW.

Blaine Milam and Geoffrey West never knew each other. They were born years apart. The only thing in common is that both men were murderers. They carried the common theme of being tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Both men died the same day by their respective states. At 18, Blaine murdered a 13 month old girl after torturing her for over 30 hours. She was the daughter of his girlfriend who received a lesser sentence of life. Geoffrey was 21 and strapped for cash.

This episode is for the understanding of why it is that I do what I do. Why I write to those incarcerated and hear their stories. What brought me to this point? It includes a couple stories from my time working as a prison nurse. As well as insight as to what special accommodations are made.
Herbert "Herb" Mullin was born into a typical American family. He grew up well socially in California. He was voted "Most likely to succeed." Then, after high school, his best friend died, and he delved into drugs and religious rhetoric. He broke mentally, and his schizophrenia reared its head. He was smart enough to mask, even in mental institutions, which he found himself in twice. But the thought that he was meant for more, came to a head when the voices started. The voices told him to be the savior, but demanded sacrifice. He dutifully completed those sacrifices, only stopping when he was caught. He was 26 when his spree both started and ended. Spending the rest of his life, behind bars. Sources: Green, Ryan. 2024. I Hear Voices.

Jane started out in this world as Honora Kelley. She lived in poverty until her mother died. Her father had a psychotic break and subsequently signed her over to the state. From there she was sent to a poorhouse, then was adopted as an indentured servant. She did well in the family home and was loved by the family, taking their name of Toppan, hiding her Irish heritage by changing her first name to Jane. In her 20's she set out on her own in the world training as a nurse. From the start she did well, learning at an incredible rate. But with power, she learned she could control people's fates and immediately began killing. After being dismissed from two hospitals, she shifted to private nurses. She did well until she killed two generations in the same house in two months. Suspicions were confirmed with autopsies and Janes spree was over.

For this month, we remain in Canada and on the missing/endangered/murdered list, still in the A names. It is truly difficult to read, name after name, case after case, and feel it is all so similar. These are women, sisters, sometimes mothers who are known on a government list, and for months, we remain at the top of it. Women are tragically and horrifically being lost to their families. This is the September group of those women: Amanda Sophia Bartlett, Amber Alyssa Tuccaro, Andria Meise, and Annette Margaret Holywhiteman Sources: <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/amanda-sophia-bartlett">https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/amanda-sophia-bartlett</a> <a href="https://storiesoftheunsolved.com/2025/02/01/amanda-bartlett-disappearance/">https://storiesoftheunsolved.com/2025/02/01/amanda-bartlett-disappearance/</a> <a href="https://orb.binghamton.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1145&context=alpenglowjournal">https://orb.binghamton.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1145&context=alpenglowjournal</a> <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/amber-alyssa-tuccaro">https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/amber-alyssa-tuccaro</a> <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/andria-lucille-meise">https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/andria-lucille-meise</a> <a href="https://storiesoftheunsolved.com/2020/02/24/the-disappearance-of-andria-meise/">https://storiesoftheunsolved.com/2020/02/24/the-disappearance-of-andria-meise/</a> <a href="https://www.wltribune.com/news/sisters-appeal-for-information-on-missing-woman-5486628">https://www.wltribune.com/news/sisters-appeal-for-information-on-missing-woman-5486628</a> <a href="https://nationtalk.ca/story/the-case-of-andria-lucille-meise-cbc">https://nationtalk.ca/story/the-case-of-andria-lucille-meise-cbc</a> <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/429464/not-seen-since-2008/">https://globalnews.ca/news/429464/not-seen-since-2008/</a> <a href="https://www.kelownanow.com/columns/Kelowna_RCMP/news/Kelowna_RCMP/13/03/26/5_Years_Later_Police_Continue_Search_For_Andria_Lucille_Meise">https://www.kelownanow.com/columns/Kelowna_RCMP/news/Kelowna_RCMP/13/03/26/5_Years_Later_Police_Continue_Search_For_Andria_Lucille_Meise</a> <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/anette-margaret-holywhiteman">https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/mmiw/profiles/anette-margaret-holywhiteman</a> <a href="https://www.justicefornativepeople.com/2018/08/annette-holywhiteman-skull-found-in.html">https://www.justicefornativepeople.com/2018/08/annette-holywhiteman-skull-found-in.html</a> <a href="https://www.townandcountrytoday.com/westlock-news/human-remains-investigation-continues-1863107">https://www.townandcountrytoday.com/westlock-news/human-remains-investigation-continues-1863107</a> <a href="https://www.rcmp.gc.ca/en/murdered-annette-holywhiteman">https://www.rcmp.gc.ca/en/murdered-annette-holywhiteman</a> <a href="https://edmontonsun.com/2012/04/13/holywhitemans-death-senseless">https://edmontonsun.com/2012/04/13/holywhitemans-death-senseless</a> <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/skull-found-near-westlock-belonged-to-missing-woman-1.1161937">https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/skull-found-near-westlock-belonged-to-missing-woman-1.1161937</a> <a href="https://vancouversun.com/news/edmontons-project-kare-examines-links-to-accused-winnipeg-serial-killer">https://vancouversun.com/news/edmontons-project-kare-examines-links-to-accused-winnipeg-serial-killer</a> <a href="https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/murdered-annette-holywhiteman">https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/murdered-annette-holywhiteman</a>

Bruce McArthur grew up in Canada on a family farm. He reports believing his father knew of his closeted homosexuality and tried to work it out of him. Bruce married and moved to Toronto and had two children before confessing his sexual preference. He had a run-in with the law after beating a man in 2001. Still, he supposedly kept his nose clean and was free and clear after probation. He worked as a landscaper during the day, but at night, other gay men were slowly disappearing from the Village, an area in Toronto that housed many of the clubs/all men bathhouses that Bruce would haunt. A cry to find out what was happening went out, but it wasn't received by the masses until decades later when it began again. This time, the voices couldn't be stifled and the ensuing investigation all led to Bruce. Bruce was killing men and hiding them in his work. After his arrest he received a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

Robert Berdella Jr was born into a Catholic family in Ohio. He was a loner, and once high school finished, he moved on to Kansas City. He was expelled from college and turned his life around almost immediately. Participating in the community, to the point that when his crimes came to light, many people thought he was framed. Still he confessed to the torture and murder of multiple men, all of whom he dismembered and threw in the trash when he was done. Sources: Becker, Ryan.
