When the topic of serial murder comes up, almost reflexively, the diagnosis of psychopathic personality is given as an explanation for the offender's behavior. Question: "Why did he kill all these people?" Answer: "He's a psychopath." It seems that once it is proclaimed that the serial killer is a psychopath, everything is understood. This assertion has gained such widespread acceptance that its validity is never questioned.

A maggot's age and species can give essential information to forensic entomologists investigating murders. Combing through these fly larvae, investigators can potentially learn when and where a crime happened, whether the body has been moved or whether toxins were involved. For example, blowflies are among the earliest insect colonizers of corpses; they typically sniff out and lay eggs on a dead body within minutes to hours.

If I have 15 minutes, my go-to is going to be a police interrogation, almost always. You are watching a human walk into a room wondering, how much do these detectives know? What they don't know is in most cases, the detective knows a lot more than you think, but they want to see what you're willing to share.

Sampson mines 30 years of data on more than 1,000 Chicagoans born in the 1980s and '90s. The youngest cohort, born in the mid-1990s, came of age amid declining rates of violence, incarceration, and even lead exposure.

The youngest were also less likely to use a firearm or witness gun violence.

A total of 10 gunshots rang out from the ICE officers, leaving Pretti lying supine and motionless in the middle of the street. He was declared dead at the scene.

The intense grief of losing James and learning in the court of the verbal, psychological and physical abuse is utterly unimaginable. The lack of humanity shown after his brutal final fatal attack is imprinted on my mind and will haunt me for the remainder of my days.

Marten and Gordon, a convicted rapist, were both sentenced to 14 years for gross negligence manslaughter last year.
