Stacey Hanna was an 18 year old woman who was searching for her place as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. She believed that she had finally found her people in some friends who lived in Richmond, Virginia. Shortly after moving in, however, Stacey became an outcast within the group. It wasnât long before 4 of her so-called âfriendsâ plotted to teach her a lesson and brutally murdered her. This is a very sad and scary case of how a âgangâ mentality can end up costing someone their life.

Phillip Ingle had a troubled past and struggled with substance abuse disorder and mental health issues. But then in 1991, he terrorized a small North Carolina town by brutally murdering 4 of its elderly residents for seemingly no reason. Sadly, the ripple effect of Phillipâs actions lead to the deaths of 3 additional people. This is a tragic case of a system failing a very inherently disturbed individual.

In February of 1959 10 young people embarked on a journey to hike and ski Dead Mountain in the northern Soviet Union. 1 of the hikers turned back a day into the trip, leaving the remaining 9 to carry on.
