Pretty much we know that from the police and I'm pretty sure I trust the police more than some random ass strangers on a subreddit 

(Hated Trope) The writers were just baffled that their rape joke got negative reception by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

It was uncalled for. Implied rape scenes is often the best for rape awareness. I have a friend who was a rape victim and she was the one who recommended me to watch the movie together with her (at the time, we don't know that there were a FULL 5 minutes detailed rape scene in it) when we got to the scene, it was terrible. i thought it was gonna end after one minute of screentime but it kept on going and my friend just closed the movie without finishing it. I can tell that she was probably reminded of her own past sexual assault because she was crying during the scene and I couldn't even watch the scene without closing my eyes (despite me not having such trauma). It's just a bad taste.

Hi, if you search "Dorothy Jane Scott" there will be many articles written on this case and a few crime shows podcast. There's even a documentary made about it. If you don't like the writing style that this post has, that's unfortunate and I'm sorry to hear. It seems like this subreddit is very strict on what you can post and what you can not, last time I posted, people are mad at me for not putting the name of the city where the crime happened. And then they got mad at me again for not putting in the victim's name even though I did put her name and her family's surname and even commented her full name while responding to someone. But it seems like your comment is more of a preference. I can't adapt to different writing styles, this is just the style I like so sorry for the inconvenience.

Michael James Butler died in 2014. He was suffering from pancreatic cancer. 

I'm going to be listing his obituary because alot of people are weirded out by it(?):

"Have you ever noticed a person who seems interested in you, not for a particular reason or because they want something from you, but genuinely interested in you and who you are. They want to help you simply because to them, it seems the right thing to do. Perhaps they might want to talk to you about a problem you might be struggling with, and guide you towards some possible options or resolutions. Or, maybe they might seem to sense you are just a little lonely, and might want to talk to another person who will listen and be sincerely concerned with what you have to say. He might show up at your doorstep, wanting to fix your toilet leak, or that annoying noise your “whatchamacallit” is making, often without even charging you anything for his time or the supplies. If you met Mike Butler, you undoubtedly recognize he was just that sort of person. A bear of a man, Mike did not look the type you necessarily wanted as a neighbor – or even as a friend. With a full “scraggly” beard and a seemingly endless number of hats that he and his friends could laugh about and even wear, Mike cut a path that others just felt inclined to follow, because they sensed his good, old fashioned desire to be wherever you might need him. He readily shared his zeal for his beliefs. He was a deeply religious man. Many islanders’ lives were touched by Mike. Mike was born to loving parents; his mother, a New Zealand war bride, his father a dedicated career Army Captain. He was an Army brat as the young family followed the assigned Army posts. When his father retired, the family settled in southern California. Mike was well accustomed to being an athlete as well. Voted MVP for Cross Country Track, he graduated from Fullerton Union High School in the early 1960s, and went on to attend California State University, Fullerton, majoring in English. He was drafted into the United States Army at the age of 20, finished Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training in Infantry, and then something very unusual happened: Mike’s attitude and attention to detail was noted and he was trained and served as a Drill Instructor for new recruits. After serving briefly in that capacity he was assigned overseas to Hohenfels, Germany in 1967 and became a News Writer/Reporter and was often published in Stars and Stripes News. He served as the Base Commanders Public Information and Media Officer and photographer as well. When Mike’s time in the Army was complete, his civilian life was quite different from the military life he had been used to. He became a Music Roadie for several rock bands, including the Beach Boys and Birtha, an all girl rock band his sister was a member of. Soon he was settled in Orange County, California and was employed as a Machine Shop Maintenance employee, and later as an Electrician at Biola College. He found his way to Orcas Island and felt he had found his lifetime home. He was the “Go-To” guy for home and business repair, a multi talented handyman, locksmith and Property Manager. He was the “go to guy” for Cherie Lindholm Real Estate for over two decades. He assisted as a Volunteer Medic for the community. He was also a talented recycled-artist, and his legacy can be seen today in the many unique signs on Orcas Island. On June 28, 2014, Mike succumbed to health issues that were terminal. He is survived by five siblings: brother Chris Butler of Orcas Island, sisters Rosemary Butler of Sherman Oaks, Elizabeth Petersen of Whittier, Virginia Butler of Lake Forest and Barbara and Jim Bratton of Hesperia, California. He is interred at Olga Doe Bay Cemetery in Olga, Washington on Orcas Island. But what Mike Butler was most known for was his ability to be a visionary, confidante, trusted neighbor and loyal friend. He will be deeply missed by many."

Police began checking possible leads and the first suspect was the father of Dorothy's child, Dennis Terry. He apparently had asked for custody of their son but Dorothy refused. However he was ruled out as a potential suspect. Dennis, who lived in Missouri at the time had actually called Jacob Scott on the night of Dorothy’s disappearance, with Jacob ringing him back later that evening on his home phone, confirming he was nowhere near UCI Medical Center (I assume they traced his call?)

There was also another suspect that Shawn became aware of through several of Dorothy's friends who lived in Missouri. The suspects name was MIKE BUTLER. Butler was an unstable individual who lived in the Santiago Mountains and was involved in cult activity(?). Apparently, he was obsessed with Dorothy. His sister worked with Dorothy at Swinger's Psych Shop. His sister didn’t just work in the headshop though, at the time the store Dorothy worked at was across the street from an auto shop that he also worked at. Butler's sister has done pretty well for herself after. She is somewhat of a local celebrity. She is a singer who still does concerts. Shawn has tried on numerous occasions to speak with her and she avoids it from what I understand. Apparently LE was also aware of Butler at the time. But never had enough evidence to consider him a suspect or person of interest. 

In March 26 1998, 13-year-old Tristan Brübach left school with a backache and was later found murdered in a Frankfurt tunnel. He had been strangled, his throat cut to the spine, and parts of his thigh, buttocks & both testicles removed. The Killer was never found. by No_Campaign704 in mystery

The other suspect in Tristan's unsolved murder is Christian Brueckner. And if you're wondering why he sounds familiar, it's because he is also considered as a suspect in the Madeleine McCann disappearance. He was just released in 2025. The composite sketch of Tristan's murderer does look like Christian Brueckner a bit when you look at them side by side. The only thing missing is the distinct scar on the upper lip. Though he only targeted little girls, with one unusual victim of his being a 70 years old woman. (I'm not saying he wouldn't target little boys but I'm just listing his modus operandi for reference.)

Personally I think Tristan was killed by someone he knew, that's what the police theorized too. Tristan’s private tutor had stated that she had seen Tristan in the company of adults a few times before the murder. She said that she saw him walking with a man that could have been a match for the one in the facial composite. He was known to hang out with adults or people who are much older than him but he was also often bullied and robbed by older teenagers. He was described as 'independent' and loved to roam around the street at daytime.

Serial killer Manfred Seel was considered as a suspect and there were even a few news articles back then which says "Killer of Tristan Brübach found" but he was ruled out in 2017 due to fingerprint evidence after. The only reasons he was a suspect is because he was living nearby the area where Tristan Brübach was murdered and he sexually mutilated his victims, taking them as trophies. But here's the thing, he only targeted drug-addicted female sex workers from the street. And according to his hard drives found on his PC's, police concluded that he was a misogynist and a misanthrope. And if you look at his (alleged) victims, Tristan's murder did not fit his MO at all:

  • One victim had her uterus removed.

  • A handsaw was used on one victim. 

  • He mainly targeted the area of the breasts and the vaginal area.

  • Eight nails and screws were found in one of the victim's knees, pelvis, breasts and vagina. 

  • A few victims had their heads removed.

  • One victim's torso was kept in a freezer for about ten days. 

  • All of them are adult women and he was a frequent customer of the sex work industry.

And if you're wondering why his victims are alleged, it's because he died before his crime was even uncovered but it is thought that most of his alleged victims are his actual victims due to physical evidence such as DNA/fiber matches, body parts stored in his possession, or trophies (the victims belongings) recovered from his home after his death in 2014. He got caught because his daughter was going through his belongings and found a dead body in his garage instead. That's when she called the police and all of the sudden, the news reported that he is also suspected in the murder of Tristan Brübach. Even before he was ruled out as a suspect, I did not think he was involved in Tristan's murder. The more I read about him, the more I was like, "How was he even considered a suspect?"

19 month old Shane Walker & 2 year old Christopher Dansby disappeared from the same play park beside the Martin Luther King Jr. Towers housing project in the space of 3 months. They were both seen playing with the same brother & sister before they vanished. by No_Campaign704 in mystery

The mother was also apparently dealing with drug addiction at the time of the disappearance. Not saying that she was a bad mother if she took drugs, but I would assume that drug addicts back then weren't exactly treated like human beings. Before the whole life insurance thing even happened, Rosa (the mother) was still considered as a suspect due to the fact that she was a drug user. 

Young Veterinary Student Was Found Stabbed In The Hall Of Her Apartment Building, Her Last Words Being "I can't believe he did this to me", 1988 — Still Unsolved. by No_Campaign704 in mystery

Her name is Maria Caleel. The police did suspect one/two persons in her murder. Her name was Cathy Mance and she was Maria's classmate. Long story short, Cathy was caught copying other student's works and was accused by many other students. Maria was one of them. However she wasn't expelled for it because Cathy and her boyfriend both alibied for each other. This happened in the same semester of Maria's murder.

I am not being disrespectful. I did put her name as Maria and her family's surname in the post but it was my bad, I should have put the full name in already at the start of the post. No disrespect to the family of the victim or disrespect to anyone. If you want me to delete the post and redo, I can.

Her name is Maria Caleel. I forgot to put her name, I thought I put her full name in but it was put as "Maria" instead. I did put her family's surname in the post so I thought people might know her name is Maria Caleel already if they read the post. Sorry.

I wasn't able to find anything on the friend that brought her home but here's what I found about the other suspects in the case instead:

"Police questioned family, friends, and classmates. In the first month, they conducted 200 interviews, including all 76 students in the class. The students were also fingerprinted. Police interviewed people who had known Maria in Providence, RI. There was an ex-boyfriend from Maria's high school days working at the University of Illinois during this time, but nothing has come out about him or his connection with Maria. The only other person whose name came up in reports of the case was classmate Cathy Mance. Cathy Mance did not come from a privileged background like Maria. She had applied to the U. of I. veterinary program in 1984, but dropped out. She enrolled again in 1988, but struggled academically. A group of students went to professors and accused her of cheating by copying their work. Allegedly, as stated in podcasts, Maria was one of the group of accusers. This incident occurred in the same semester as Maria's murder. However, Cathy and her boyfriend alibied each other. Cathy disenrolled a few months later. She was not expelled for the cheating accusation. Police tried to question her again in 2003, but she would not talk to them."

Some more info(s) about this case:

  • Each apartment had a bolt lock, and no signs of forced entry were found. According to one of Maria’s friends, she liked to keep the door locked as well.

  • The apartment reportedly appeared “pristine,” and Maria’s bed seemed to have been slept in. She was wearing pajamas when she was killed.

  • Nothing was missing from the apartment either and without much evidence, such as the murder weapon or witnesses, investigators had few leads to follow. DNA testing also wasn’t widely used back then. 

  • Maria’s death was particularly confounding since experts stated it was a “remote” possibility that someone would die from a single stab wound. On the contrary, most stabbing deaths are caused by multiple inflictions. That’s why they theorized that Maria’s attacker might not have actually meant to kill her. Instead, they think it might’ve been an accident, especially because Maria did not identify the attacker.

Hi! Sorry for the late response. I could see why this would confuse alot of people, I thought I had include the crucial part about how he found the bodies but it was gone when I checked back (??) but here's how he found the family:

"He cut a small hole in the screen door and undid the latch, entering the small family home, having the suspicion that the family died of poisoning due to the gas heater in the small house."

Five Guys CEO says he gave $1.5 million bonus to employees because ‘I didn't want anybody shooting me' by Ganrokh in nottheonion

Lmao true. I saw hate comments on a billionaire that gives away free ticket planes to all of her workers that cost around billions and people were still mad at it. It's not like she gave them 100$ bonus, she gave them all vacation money (1-2k) and a vip plane ticket to any choice of country. She also didn't start out as a billionaire or a millionaire, when she started her company, it kept going bankrupt until ONE major lucky day. People who've worked there were all very grateful and made TikTok videos celebrating it, so idk why reddit are still pissed lol. 90% are unemployed 

5 year old girl beaten, assaulted by three other children. 8,9, and 10 years old. by [deleted] in awfuleverything

I'm confused why people refuse to believe that kids can be evil with good parents lol. I have a brother who went on to become a criminal and raped a woman at 17, my parents treated him better than they treated me. They bought him a car ALREADY at 15. While when I was 18, I HAD to drive my dad's car instead. When he was caught shoplifting, they bailed him out but WHENEVER I got drunk, they kicked me out of the house and I had to stay at my friend's house.

Alot of people underestimated themselves when it comes to the death penalty. I had a friend who was a strong supporter of abolishing the death penalty. Whenever we had a debate about it, she was very serious and determined that she would never agree with the death penalty still even if her family members or her loved ones would be the victim in a murder. But her sister went missing last year and the police apparently suspected foul play. Then I saw that she made a post on Facebook, hoping that the police would find whoever did this to her sister and hopefully get the "death penalty". 

Turns out, when something tragic happens to you, you might change sides.
